“Mya was attentive to all of our pets, and did a great job of communicating questions or issues to us in a timely manner. The house was just as we had left it. We had zero concerns about her ability to care for our animals. She is responsible and showed up when she said she would be there. Definitely will have Mya house-sit for us again.”


“Kirstin was wonderful with Nala Mae and Leo. They both warmed up to her nicely! She was neat and respectful with my home and followed directions for feeding to the letter! Kirstin is now our go to pet friend! We will ask her to sit again! Thank you Kirstin!”


“Ashley took good care of our dog and our daughter's dog who was here for a visit. We got regular updates and great pictures of dogs hanging out and dogs playing. We will ask Ashley to look after Geordi again.”


“Abby was wonderful!! Very communicative and followed everything we asked. She even did some training with our dog! Doggie seemed so happy in all the pictures too. Will definitely book her again!”


“Eric is an outstanding dog and house sitter! He took wonderful care of our Boston Terrier, who is sometimes anxious around new people. She became his new best friend! Eric provided excellent communication, followed our instructions and showered our dog with attention. I enjoyed my vacation knowing our beloved pup was having a great time. I highly recommend Eric and will definitely contact him again!”


“Dom was very thoughtful, caring, understanding and flexible. He was very sweet to our animals when we did our meet and greet. We would definitely use Dom again!”


“Kalob was very professional, courteous and punctual too. Scout enjoyed his time with Kalob and he even brought Scout treats! I would definitely have him watch Scout again!”


“Ella did a super job of taking care of our 2 cats. She was very helpful with the special medical care and feeding for our hyperthyroid cat and her sister. We were able to go on a long vacation because we had confidence that our beloved pets would be ok. She also took great care of all the outdoor plants, and other household needs. We will definitely have her come back again to house sit for us.”


“Kayla was absolutely amazing with both of our 50+ lb dogs. One of our dogs is anxious around new people, but Kayla’s calm demeanor made them fast friends. She was able to schedule last minute and was very accommodating to our schedule. She left the house spotless, kept the dogs on an active schedule, and regularly updated us on how they were doing. We will definitely be booking again”


“Leanne went above and beyond for our puppy, not just on regular days, but also when he was sick. I don’t know what we would’ve done without you, Leanne - thank you so much for everything!!”


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!

“Anna was wonderful! She did everything we asked and was very responsible. Best of all, she worked very well with our cranky 15 year old doodle, who welcome her into her very small pack.”


“Marikita was great! I felt very comfortable leaving my Golden Retriever with her while I was gone for the weekend. I got a lot of updates and my dog seemed to really enjoy spending time with her!”


“Lee was great with my dog over the weekend! We have tried normal boarding for him and he hated it, but absolutely loved hanging out with Lee!! he sends several pictures through the time he is watching your pet, and the picture he needs are phenomenal!! I will definitely be asking him to watch my dog next time I go out of town!”


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.

“Hannah is phenomenal. Super friendly, punctual and professional. Scout is super timid and he took to her immediately and actually gave her a hug on her second sitting appointment, which he never does. I highly recommend her!!”


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.

Elizabeth & Nathan S.
“Over the years, I’ve had Elizabeth and her husband watch my Aussie probably a dozen times and they’re the only ones I really trust. They have a Aussie of their own so they really understand the idiosyncrasies that make an Aussie an Aussie. From the constant eye-contact to bottomless wells of energy, they get it. I get plenty of updates too, from texts to photos and videos. I never worry about him because I know he’s in good hands, and is being treated like a member of the family, not a guest. Highly recommend!”


Rachael K.

“Rachael was amazing! She took wonderful care of our Bella and our house, she even watered our plants inside and out!”
