“Eric kept me informed, Bauer can be a handful but was going room to room to find his new friend Eric. I hesitate to give him a good review because I don’t want to share him. 10/10, Eric for the win!”


“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”


“Dom was great! Everything was perfect when we got home after 4 days. He sent a lot of pics of my 2 older cats. My scaredycat even liked Dom on the first day, which is saying a lot. Highly recommended, hope to use again!”


About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog and cat since I was 12. I have experience with crate training dogs and maintaining the commands that my client’s use with their dog/cat. I’m very flexible to my client’s needs and always want to exceed their expectations. I’m currently a full time student, so I’ll be available mostly on the weekends to dogsit/catsit. However, I can always work with both of our schedules to accommodate drop ins during the week! I live in an apartment in downtown Lincoln, so it’s not very ideal for pet sitting. I’ve dog sat in multiple families homes, and there hasn’t been any issues or complaints. If it’s over the weekends, I can spend more time caring for your fur baby, even if that involves spending the day or night there too!

About: I have been caring for dogs for 15 years. I recently lost my 2 Babies. One from old age & the other to cancer.

I am currently working M-F 8-2, I work just minutes away from my home. I am available any early mornings & afternoon/ evening during the week, and full availability on the weekends. I have an open floor plan, no stairs except for the 2 outside my front door, fully fenced in backyard & I have 2 extra large crates if needed.

About: I have been taking care of animals since before I got a job in the “real world”.

I take caring for another person’s pet seriously, like they are my own! Right now I have a remote job that allows me to spend all the time needed to care for your pet! I am able to have full attention on making sure your pet has the best care possible while you are away. My pet’s health and joy are my top priority. Caring my my pup Casper has gotten me out of some dark times, he is my light and I can’t thank him enough for choosing me as his owner. I sometimes put his care above my own! But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
