Pet Sitting Centerville

“Maria was amazing with our pets! She was so patient with our shy cat, and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of after his automatic feeder had issues while we were out of town. She even made sure to feed and check in on our fish and turtle. We received updates and pictures after each visit, which was great for our peace of mind! Our pets had a great time with her!”

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life - If it’s dogs, cats, fish, turtles, geckos or birds, I’ve done it! I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members and I take that responsibility seriously. I work remotely and can do so from anywhere with a reliable and secure internet connection. I am flexible most days of the week and most hours of the day. You know your pets best! I will stick to the schedule and routine you have set in place for them and currently have implemented in your home.

About: I have had cats and dogs as a child. I have had my own cat kids for 22+ years! All of them were adopted. We had 4 cats for a while. They all had such different personalities which makes it fun! I have also done drop in visits to take care of dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs! I work full-time so I am available on weekends. I am available during the week- early mornings or late afternoons or evenings to come over and take care of your pet. I offer services in a client's home (not my own) . I am very happy to come to your home to feed, water and play with your pet!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I started watching over and caring for friends and family’s’ dogs since I was 10. Dogs are my all time fav and I can’t wait to care for yours! I am currently a full-time college students, also involved in extracurriculars but still have plenty of time to care your pups! Im available for walks MWF from 7am-10am; TTh from 7am-1pm. I can also make evening drop ins work through conversation! I am super flexible on care in your home. I can serve to whatever your dog needs whether that’s some play time or needing to be fed!

“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! ?”

About: I have many years of experience caring for animals of all types! I have worked in a veterinary clinic, at a doggie daycare, and on a chicken farm. I also have a Great Pyrenees of my own who is the love of my life! I understand a lot about pet behavior as I have done a research project at the Capital Humane Society studying the effects of training and one-on-one play. I am also a senior at UNL studying companion animal science! All of my classes are currently online, so I spend most of my time at home! I do have a part-time job, which makes me unavailable on Tuesdays and every other Saturday. I treat every pet like my own! I am unhealthily obsessed with animals. I do have a Great Pyrenees in my home, but I have family members who are more than welcome to watch her if our pets would not get along! I am willing to pet sit in your home if that is easier or if it feels safer for you! I am very accommodating and just want to help out where I can!

About: I’ve spent 10+ years volunteering with local animal rescues and fostering dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. Over that time, I’ve cared for shy dogs, energetic puppies, reactive & high-needs behaviors, & seniors! I frequently walk/dog-sit for friends and family and love the opportunity to love on their pets when they’re away! In my day-to-day, I work with children & families as a licensed professional counselor, and gentleness, nurture and compassion are central to everything I do! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I’m currently between jobs, so I’m home most of the day and have TONS of flexibility! I’m available for lots of attention, playtime, walks, anything that your pet may need - I’m your gal! I’m also available all weekdays and most weekends! I have a fully fenced backyard and one super friendly, well-socialized & docile dog (Chewy) who loves nothing more than having new friends over! I always do slow, supervised introductions and follow whatever routine your dog is used to/whatever you request! If your dog prefers space, I can easily separate areas of my home or provide quiet downtime. I can also crate if needed and have a huge crate (literally Great Dane sized, it’s like a palace for my 70lb dog 😂) as well as a medium sized crate I can have out with cozy padding & a fuzzy bed. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I want things to feel as comfortable and familiar for them as possible! I treat your space gently and respectfully, and I follow your routines so their days still feel steady & safe. I want your dog(s) to feel cared for and loved and always make that a top priority. 💛

“Abigail always does so great with Pawley! He is shy at first with people he doesn’t see all the time, and she always makes sure to take the time to make him comfortable. We love being able to rely on her.”

About: I have worked with dogs for 5 years. I have helped puppies adjust to new homes and people. I have also aided senior dogs with medications and other special requirements. I am usually always available all week, and on weekends. I have a part-time job, however it is easy to work around if needed for clients. I try to provide any type of care my clients' pets may require. Along with any additional requests that the clients may have to give.

“Highly reliable. Was great with my dogs, you can tell she loves animals. She gave great communication and feedback of how my dogs were doing. I would highly recommend her and I will be using her again in the future.”

“Mikayla was absolutely wonderful in her care for our two cats while we were away! When we returned, you could tell they had been treated well and loved. Mikayla sent a couple of pictures which showed they were just fine, and that helped calm my sister immensely about her younger cat. We have complete confidence in Mikayla and will be happy to book her again. Thank you, Mikayla!! You allowed us to really enjoy a needed time away to visit family.”

About: I’ve been around large and small animals alike my entire life. I grew up on a farm where I cared for (and showed)horses, sheep, dogs, cats, a turtle, guinea pigs, and even (had) gerbils. I was active in 4H, FFA, county and state fairs where I showed my prize Appaloosa horse. During my college years I worked at a locally owned pet store in Kearney, Nebraska, which gave me even more hands on experience especially with a variety of small animals like snakes, birds and rabbits. I’ve always had a dog in my life (and cats) until recently when my Mastiff of 14 years passed away. My Mastiff was a rescue with extensive behavioral issues at first; however, after a year and a half of steady, consistent daily work and training, I am proud to say he passed the temperament test, did a complete 180, and I began taking him into nursing homes, where he was absolutely adored. So in short, I’ve worked with some challenging pet personalities but it makes it all worthwhile knowing I improved that animals life and can take the skills I’ve obtained and pay it forward. I also have extensive experience taking care of senior dogs and am quite familiar with the extra care they require whether that be assisting them up or down stairs, making sure there is plenty or traction where they’re walking, taking extra stops to rest on walks, and overall recognizing when they’re in pain or or not acting like themselves and adjusting any activities accordingly, and ensuring the owner is aware of any changes in personality, eating, drinking and/or potty breaks. Hello! I work part time remotely, so my schedule is very flexible which leaves me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and anything else your furry friend(s) need while you’re away! I have 2 cats currently so I would prefer to do any daycare at the client’s home, plus, I feel it’s less stressful on the animal if they’re in their own environment. However, in a pinch, I could certainly arrange to do boarding in my home as I have a large fenced in backyard and my cats could easily be placed in another area of my home. I also have a large (Great Dane size) crate from my beloved dog who passed recently, if a crate would be necessary. Whatever it takes to make your furbaby happy and as comfortable as can be, I’ll make sure it happens! When I am at your home, I’ll make it so that you don’t even know I was there aside from a tired pet(s). Trust and integrity is crucial when letting a stranger not only care for your animals but be in the home, and I firmly believe im establishing that trust by respecting your home and your rules. I live in the south Lincoln area, I drive and own my own vehicle, so can be anywhere in the Lincoln area within about 20-30 minutes. Also, if there was an emergency of any kind I would be able to transport your pet to your closest Veterinarian or wherever need be to ensure his/her wellbeing.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and began to walk dogs for others at a young age. I started dog sitting about 5 years ago! I am a full time student but completely online. I drive across town multiple times a day so it’s easy for me to stop in or have a good walk often! My apartment is able to host small dogs and cats comfortably. Exercise will be a big part of our days as well as just interacting and making sure they are safe.

“Daniela was wonderful. She bonded with Ruby and sent lots of pictures and video. Very reliable and punctual.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs through all stages of life. We’ve ALWAYS had dogs growing up in my family and as I’ve gotten older I’ve even helped raise a couple puppies. I dog sit for a few people from work and such whenever they go out and I’ve even helped a couple people potty train their puppies by just letting them out every couple hours while they were at work! I have a cat myself currently and have had multiple dogs (including special needs ones) in the past, so I understand working with animals multiple times every single day. I’d be at your house multiple times a day to let your animals out/check on them. When an animals owners go away I know they have to be sad or maybe even lonely. So I try to go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable while you’re away and even (if they’re not a playful type of pet) to play or cuddle with them for a few minutes at least each time I’d stop by so they get at least a little bit of pent up energy out.

“Hannah was so great with Joe- it was clear he loved her the way he would cuddle and lay by her!! She followed all my detailed instructions and sent great notes and pics that helped me since I was missing him A LOT! We will definitely use Hannah again.”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was a kid. My friends and family can always rely on me to watch their pets while they’re out of town or in need of some help! I currently have a pretty busy schedule but I am available from 12:30pm-3:30 pm and have pretty open availability over weekends and weekend nights. I’m happy to do what ever it is to make your fur baby happy! I love to keep them happy and give them company!

About: I have had pets in my life since I was little. Cats, dogs, bunnies, Guinea pigs, hamsters, and all have varied in age. I have pet sat for families who have snakes, geckos, cats with diabetes, all of which I have successfully taken care of. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and have been at other house 8+ hours a day. I even dog sat for a family for 8 weeks! Animals are a very important part of my life, and I will love yours just as much as my own:) I work part time at the moment and only nanny 2 days a week, both of which have flexible schedules perfect for the attention needed for the pets. At home we have an invisible fence for our dog to keep her safe and secure, but also to run free in the yard. I take her on 20-40 minute walks everyday to give her the exercise she needs. I spend time with my cats pretty much all day long, and do their cat litter twice a day! Whatever you need done for your pets, I'm your girl!

About: I worked at Kenl Inn full time for about two years! I worked off and on after that for about another year! We hiked them securely on a trail and strictly observed behaviors in their rooms and also with other dogs. I learned a lot about dog behavior from those years and how to handle dogs on walks. Working there so many years also built up a lot of muscle to walk larger dogs as well as the small ones. I work full time for the post office currently! I occasionally will pop into Kenl Inn to lend a hand! Usually my evenings are free if a night out is wanted and my dog is usually with her grandma on weekends anyhow! I am usually free after 5 PM but my job can make it tricky with the unpredictability of it. I am also down to do very early morning things before I work at 7:30 AM. I am usually off on Sundays as well! I am very respectful of other's homes and training styles! Every dog is different and have different needs. I have given meds and dry pilled if needed. I have no issues with it. I have handled aggressive and reactive dogs and am very familiar with how to handle them and myself in an antsy scenario.

About: I have always had dogs. I have trained dogs for years, including hunting dogs. I have helped others with their animals throughout the years as well. I also take care of a farm and their animals from time to time just north of Omaha she would be a reference. I work remotely, so I’m home all the time unless I need to run a quick errand. There is direct access into my apartment, so no need to go through hallways. I will treat them like they’re my own and we walked every day. I have a park here. I also live right next to Lake Zirinsky so taking a walk at the park is easy.
