“Kayla sent daily updates with photos and our shy girl warmed up to her quickly. She was kind and easy to work with. I felt confident that my cats were in good hands while I was away.”
“Jessica was very professional including communication and throughout her visits. Our dog loved her from the beginning. We arranged 3 drop-in visits for our dog. She was always prompt, kept us updated on how he was eating/taking potty breaks, played with him and sent us several photos or videos each drop-in. She went above and beyond to bring a package in off of our porch and spent a few minutes over the 30 minutes we agreed on for each visit. We highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Maddie did a great job with our dog! She was willing to come meet him a couple nights before the scheduled visit and was great about communicating with us when we were gone. Thank you Maddie!!”
“Wr needed a dog/house sitter for a last minute trip. I didn't want just anyone, either. Ibqas so worried our dogs were just going to be let out 3-4 times a day, and not get any play time. That was not the case when I got on here and found Ashlee. She was simply amazing! She sent me pictures of our dogs multiple times a day, was always checking in with me. Our dogs usually have separation anxiety and they seemed to do just fine with her! She walked our dogs multiple times, spoiled the with treats, played with them outside for a while! We were very blessed to have found Ashlee. We liked her so much we booked her again when we went to a concert, and we have her potentially booked for our vacation in February! She is a fantastic dog/house sitter. Thanks again, Ashlee! ?”
“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”

About: I have always had pets in my life. I was raised with dogs and cats, and I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats! I was a Foster Parent for Underdogs Rescue from 2016-2021 and specialized in medically fragile and behaviorally challenged dogs. I moved to Omaha from Denver and had to take a hiatus from Rover to move and settle. My services are dog walking, check ins, and house sitting. I have boarded dogs before (as you can see from my reviews) but have decided not to do this again to offer stability for my cats. I love sending photos of pets when they’re in my care. Please check out my photos and see how the pets become my family! I always appreciate a list of do’s and don’ts, reminders, emergency contacts, etc. There is no such thing as too much communication for me. I am very good at multi-tasking and prioritizing. My work is very flexible and I am able to maintain consistency with offering support to pets in other's environment. I treat other's pets like they were my own. I love them all and will treat them with respect and kindness. I love taking pictures and keeping parent's apprised of how they are doing in my care.
“We could not be happier with the care and attention Dom provided our two kitties. They came home happy & tired from their fun day! I will 100% book again with Dom & I definitely recommend them to my friends and family!!! Thank you so much for the love, care, & attention you gave our boys all day. You made it so much easier for them to relax while we were away, we could never thank you enough!”
About: I am a former veterinary assistant who has 20 years of experience caring for animals of every kind: from large and small dogs, cats, and exotics. I am an expert in rodent care, specifically mice and rats, but also have lots of experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I have cared for young puppies and kittens as well as senior animals, and am proficient with administering oral and injectable medications, as well as doing glucose monitoring for diabetic animals. I work full time during the week, but I am typically free in the mornings from 8 am to 11 am. I work the evening shift at Methodist Health Fremont and am typically done by 8:30pm. Weekend work days are rare as our weekend coverage works on a rotating basis, I will inform clients if weekend work is expected during a booking. I will always change clothes before visiting client pets in order to do as much as possible to prevent communicable diseases due to the volume of animals I work with. I am also trained in dog and cat pet CPR.
About: My parents would take me to their friends houses growing up and if they couldn’t find me they would look for the family pet and know that’s where I would probably be. I grew up riding horses, have dogs, and going to families farms. I have such a love for animals and understand the deep bond and support they provide people. I dog sit rescues who need some time warming up to very energetic pups! I feel really comfortable with all sizes and kinds of dogs and take feedback about how to support individual animals seriously! I work in schools and am off between 3 - 5 weekly. Fridays I have a lot of flexibility and can work from home which makes walks, letting pups out, or a check-in easy on Fridays! I usually go to homes! If you’re comfortable with your pup staying with me I have a very friendly love pup named Frederick who would love to be your pups best friend!

About: I have had pets my entire life and have taken care of family friends dogs before. My dogs are rescues, so that is training on its own. When family is out of town I take care of theirs, that includes my aunt and uncle, grandparents, and more. I'm a pretty flexible person, I like being up early and I don't mind driving to come take care of animals. I do work a lot, meaning i'll be out and about and am always down to come see some animals. I also love taking animals on a good walk!! I am huge on love and attention, making sure that they are well kept. My dogs are a little too loved, they really love their treats. But I am respectful of all owners rules for their animals and will take care of them to the best of my ability as if the owners weren't gone.
About: Need a great dog sitter or dog walker? Look no further! Send me a message :). I’m willing to do long or short term dog sits in the comfort of your dog’s home. I’ve previously volunteered at animal rescue sanctuaries in Hawaii and Ireland because I really have a passion for animals. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 5 years old. My grandma raised dogs so I happily helped out all the time and quickly grew to passionately love dogs. I began my own dog grooming business which I did for a few years, and after that, I dog sat for friends and family. Recently I helped watch a farmers dogs for a month which included walking the 5 of them, feeding them, bathing them, and watering them. I dog sat two French Bulldogs for 2 weeks, everything went great and they loved their walks to the beach and bath time. I also dog sat a dog for a month and everything went great, I’m happy to give you any contact numbers if you’d like to speak with any previous people I’ve dog sat for. I’m very responsible and pay attention to detail to ensure your dog is safe and happy in my care. Send me a message to talk about time/dates but I am pretty flexible :). I am not in school so I’ll have plenty of free time to spend with your dog/cat! What better job than playing with dogs/cats. In my clients home I will be considerate and follow your rules and preferences. I will keep the place tidy and clean and put things back where I found them, such as leash etc.
About: I’ve taken care of my pets and family and friends pets for the last 10 years. Everything from walking to feeding and bathing them. I have also been trusted yo dog sit at their house for 5+ days before. I am currently a full time student in Lincoln but still have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and keep them active by going on walks! When taking care of the pets in other homes I always make sure they are not left alone for extended periods of time and make time in my day to go hang out with them. I will keep them active and play with them but also give them plenty of loves!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I currently live with two small dogs that I’ve been taking care of for the last 8 years. I have a lot of experience with both extremely small dogs like Miniature Yorkies as well as large dogs like German Shepards. I think I’m also very good puppies and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about me. I’m currently a fully online college student so I can take care of your pets at any hours on any day. If you need me to check on your pets at 2AM that’s fine with me.😊 I am happy to accommodate for your pets and keep their schedules as normal as possible while you are away. I can take them for their daily walk or continue feeding them at their normal times.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and I love taking care of them and making them happy! I’d be the happiest in a job I could be working with animals. That is definitely my goal in our life! I do work a full time and part time job but I would love nothing more than to spend my free time with animals of any kind :) I don’t board dogs or watch them in my home. I crate my dogs when I am not home, but they don’t need it either way. They honestly enjoy their crate, it’s their safe space

Cece and her husband took Ellie in as a foster and tended to her medical needs for several months. She is currently thriving! I continue to stay in close contact with Cece. As a first-time dog owner, she has been a wonderful support and resource for me over the past year. Cece is an experienced animal caregiver and animal lover. Whenever I am out of town, Cece and her family (two-legged and four-legged, alike!) openly welcome Ellie back into their home and love on her fiercely! I always know she is in the best of hands. Animal people don't come any better than Cece!!!”

Thank you Haley, you are the cat’s meow!”
Schyler J.

I would HIGHLY recommend her for your pet!”
Sara H.
“Sara is great with animals and is super attentive and caring towards them. My dog Gypsy is a super sensitive and easily offended lab but that didn't stop Sara from friending her when we became friends in 2017. She would calmly call to her earning her trust and when my dog let her guard down they became best friends. I trust Sara with my dogs needs when I have to be out of town for a few days. She is a perfect fit to have your animal in her care!”
