Dog Walking in Colonial Hills, Lincoln, NE

“Danielle was amazing!!! We needed last minute help with our pups and Danielle came through with only an hour of anticipation.... she was just a pleasure to work with. We will definitely reach out in the future!!”

“I have been using Andrea and Edwin for awhile now and they are so wonderful to work with. I usually request them when I have to have my boyfriend’s dog with me for extended days, but they are still sending me pictures of my cat who wasn’t part of the request. They are efficient in communication and flexible in timing and if something comes up. Highly recommend them for your pet needs!”

“My sweet old dogs adore Hilary and I kind of do too! She always lets me know when any little unusual thing happens with my 'kids' and I like that a lot. I would recommend her but I don't want her to be so busy that she can't walk my fur babies!!!! (Ok, Ok, I DO recommend her!)”

“Hondo loved the walk. Was very tired after”

“Nate was superb! My pug, Moss, took to him right away, and Nate knew all the ways to pet him and become friends. Moss was soon running to the door when he knew Nate had come! I couldn't have been happier with any other dog walker!”

“Anna does an amazing job walking our boys! I never have to be worried about them and they’re always tuckered out on days they get to walk with her. I’d highly recommend her ☺️”

About: Ive taken care of animals since before I can remember. All pets are given all the love I have to offer. I’m very gentle with older pets and always do my best to make sure they’re comfortable and pampered. I've got more free time on my hands than I know what to do with; so it would be no problem at all to take care of your pets! I make sure pets get regularly taken out, as well as making sure they’re happy and fed. I also get a little silly and play with them for hours!

About: I've grown up with large and small dogs always around me, which gave me early insight into pet behaviors and tendencies to always be aware of. From puppy training to senior pet care, I’ve experienced all types of age ranges and requirements needed depending on the breed or size, so any additional requirements of service can be fulfilled when needed. I experience a great amount of joy with every new animal I meet and see! When caring for another’s pet, I can guarantee that I will treat yours with the love and respect that I give to my own. As a student there are classes during the school year that I do have to work around; but I still can accept any day in most cases. My classes are done early most days, so working around them is not an issue. In my own home I have an active dog who requires daily walks, and lots of playtime. I have also dealt with more timid and anxious dogs, so I have a good understanding of the different ways dogs may need to be treated. In most cases, I would just ask the dogs owner anything that may be valuable information in regards to their pet and how the owner prefers them to interacted with.

“Alicia was great. She always showed up on time, was responsive, and even helped bring a heavy package inside for me. Our dog was always very happy to see her. Highly recommend.”

“Lee was amazing with our dog while we were out of town. She is typically scared of men and warmed up to him so quickly and looked forward to her daily walks with Lee while we were away:) His communication and professionalism were amazing and he also gave us the cutest card with photos of our dog he snapped during walks upon our return. Would highly recommend and will definitely re-book!! :):)”

About: Born around lots of animals, including the GSD my mom bred many going to K9 programs and I would show them when I was little. Growing up, I was part of raising & training hunting dogs (Labs) & a seizure dog (Sheltie). As an adult I've had a GSD, Pomeranians and pitbulls (potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, basic commands like sit stay come - clicker method). I also learned some about senior care helping my friend who worked at Hearts United shelter for several years. I currently don't have any dogs, but have cats. I have minimal appointments (2 hour long weekly standing & sporadic others) and errands (school drop off and pickup) so I can be available to care for your pet nearly 24/7 Caring for your dog at your home, I would follow whatever routine, usual/best practices you have for them there. At my apartment, there is a large open grassy area right behind my building and a great walking/bike path, but it is NOT fenced so I would be taking out any dog myself on a leash. If I needed to leave my apartment for an appointment/errand and could not bring your dog along, I would want to crate to ensure there's no accidents while unsupervised in a strange environment.

“Tiffany was very flexible. I was able to schedule her a day before I was heading out of town for a wedding. We did a meet and greet, and I booked her for 2 walks. She came by as planned and took my pup, Apollo out to potty. She is very trustworthy, respectful and dependable and I will definitely book her again!”

“Ella is wonderful with our senior dog! We love the daily updates with her walks and love knowing she is taken care of in the afternoon while we are working”

About: I’ve mostly cared for bigger dogs with a lot of energy. I regularly look after my friend’s pets as well as my family’s. I have a dog of my own, she’s very active and friendly. I’ve had her for over a year and learned so much about dogs from being a pet parent. I got to school part-time but I still have quite a bit of time throughout the day for check-ins. The weekends are best for boarding. I like to do dog walking throughout the week. I spend most of my time at home so I don’t mind hosting at my home but I’ll also do care at a client’s home. I do not have a fenced in back yard but I live in an area with a lot of parks and open spaces. I do spend a lot of time outside so I’m comfortable with going out for multiple walks a day. I don’t provide treats of my own unless the owner asks me too or if they tell me what they’re okay with their pet eating. I don’t give pets food I’m eating because I don’t want them to choke or they could get sick.

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: I’m Elizabeth and this is my baby-boy Umbra, a 3yr old Australian Shepherd. I love dogs, grew up with them, and when it came to purchasing a home, thought about my future dogs first… no, seriously! We have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Just a block away, we have a lovely wooded area for afternoon walks. Experience - My husband Nathan and I have taken Puppy, Adolescence, and Obedience 1, 2, and 3 training through Greater Lincoln Obedience Club - I was an Assistant Instructor for Obedience 1 - Volunteer dog walker at the Capital Humane Society - I've completed Grooming courses 1 and 2 through Kenl Inn - Pet First Aid course through Kenl Inn - Pet Massage course through SCC continuing education Umbra's Story Umbra is a high-energy, working breed so we got him into dog sports! He loved Agility 1, 2, and 3 until the teeter totter became too scary. We switched over to Flyball and self-taught Dock Diving. Because of his health, we’ve swapped dog sports for trick and sniff training. To keep him active and social we frequent dog parks, Offleash Dog Bar, and dog friendly stores and restaurants. He comes with us everywhere he can, and we’ve taken vacations just for him! When Umbra was a pup, we noticed abnormalities with his eating patterns and stool. For a year, we worked closely with our vet and uncovered severe food allergies, gastroenteritis, and a vitamin deficiency. Thanks to a restricted diet including daily vitamins and probiotics his tummy is doing well! When he was neutered, hip laxity was discovered that would eventually lead to arthritic symptoms. To give him a pain free life as along as possible, we added another daily supplement, started weekly water therapy, and were instructed to administer a monthly subcutaneous shot (Nathan handles the needle). It was discovering his enlarged heart that put an end to dog sports, but he still lives a fulfilling life. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My day is already structured to include a minimum of 3 exercise / play sessions a day for 30-60mins each. Umbra is well socialized and loves large and small dogs. He would love for your pup to visit! Your dog will receive plenty exercise and play, belly rubs, neighborhood walks, and approved outings and treats. We have toys, puzzle games, and snuffling and lick toys for them to engage with. If they need a contained break, we have crates and a playpen to block off larger spaces. You will receive lots of photos and the comfort of knowing your pet is well cared for. For dog's staying in their own home, just let me know their routine and any special needs.

About: I'll treat your pets like my own pets and family! I grew up with two loving border collies and trained both of them. I've watched dogs and house sat for 15 years! I'm currently working full night time remotely for nelnet data entry! I'm completely free Friday Nights through Sunday night! I'm usually off work by 3:30 and have a 30 minute lunch. I will walk your dog often and stick to your feeding/medication schedule you have! I'll make your pet feel comfortable and loved while you're away! I also have a large fenced in yard if you prefer I watch your pet at my house!

About: I’ve helped take of a range of animals since I was young. I’ve been expected to walk, feed, bathe, transport, and play with animals for many family and friends. In the past, I generally helped with dogs ranging from small to large, all of different ages. In college, I started volunteering at a local cat shelter every week, “The Cat House,” as well as occasionally with a local dog shelter, “Domesti-pups.” Through this I gained more experience with caring for dogs and cats of different ages and health, including puppies, kittens, and seniors as well. Where I work seasonally, I care for chickens, feeding them, cleaning their coops, and harvesting their eggs. Since I haven’t been able to have my own pet with the lifestyle I live, watching my friends animals and volunteering at local shelters has helped me to still have interactions with animals I love dearly. I am open to almost any request and any animal, willing to negotiate prices, and I would love to help you! I’m currently hunting for a part time job, so I have full availability for pet care in whatever way you need it right now! When I do have a job, I will still have a good amount of availability throughout the day. I am willing to help out at tricky times as well, such as early mornings. I have many roommates in my home, so I would most likely recommend me helping your pets in their own homes. There, I will make sure routines are kept, expectations are met, and that your home remains a safe and comfortable environment for your animal.

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!

“Having Roger stop by to give Smudge a break was a great decision! He was very willing to meet up beforehand to make sure it would be a good fit. I appreciated his details in letting me know how things went. I will definitely be using his excellent service again! It puts my mind at peace to know my pup can get out on a nice day.”
