Dog Sitting Council Bluffs

About: My name is Claire and I am a PA student at Creighton University! I am 26 and moved from Steamboat Springs, CO where I watched many furry friends through Rover and absolutely loved doing it! I am originally from Chicago and love doing anything outdoors such as skiing and running, but also love ending the day nice and cozy watching a movie or reading a book. More importantly, I love dogs of all ages and would love to care for your awesome dog! I had a labradoodle for 15 years growing up whom I adored and sadly cannot have a dog of my own at this stage of my life, but am looking for a buddy to care for to get my fix! I am responsible, organized, and easy going. I will provide very good care of your pet and give lots of pets, walks/runs, and love! I am free to answer all questions about scheduling and flexibility. I hope to hear from you soon! Your dog needs a good buddy while you are away and I really hope that person is me! I am a full time student in Omaha, but have lots of breaks throughout the day to give your pet lots of love! While school will be hectic, you can be assured that I will take your pet on a lot of exercise when I am home (If they are up for it) as it is a great break for me in my studies. I will feed, walk, and play with your pets! I love animals and live in a pet-friendly area where I have easy access to walking/running trails.

About: Yes, I am absolutely going to talk to your pet like they understand every word I am saying. 😂 I have loved animals forever and have years of experience caring for my own pets and those belonging to friends and family. I am happy to handle the normal stuff like food, water, walks, litter boxes and playtime, but I am also the person who will learn that your cat only drinks from the bathroom faucet and your dog refuses to poop unless you walk counterclockwise around the block. Basically: tell me how your pet likes things done, including all of their weird little routines. I will follow them, give them plenty of attention and send you pictures so you can see exactly what we are up to. I work from home and make my own schedule, so I am pretty flexible! I can usually make mornings, afternoons, or evenings work, and since my schedule changes from week to week, I keep my Rover calendar updated with when I am actually available. Your house, your pet, your rules. I want to know exactly how you normally do things so I can keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while you are gone. Before our first visit, tell me everything: feeding instructions, medications, leash rules, escape-artist tendencies, favorite hiding spots and anything your pet absolutely should NOT do even if they try very hard to convince me otherwise. 😂 I will follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, never take your pet anywhere you have not approved and send you updates and photos so you are never wondering what is happening back home.

About: Hello! Thanks for stopping by! Here’s a little info about myself; I moved to Omaha last year from my hometown in MN. While living there I volunteered at a shelter for 5 years called “4luvofdog.” I would host dogs needing a temporary place to stay while awaiting their “furever” home. Along with that I grew up with big and small dogs as well as cats, and watch my siblings/friends dogs regularly. Watching and caring for animals is a passion and self care hobby of mine. Im excited for this opportunity and look forward to building a relationship with you and your pets! •I have a full time job Monday-Friday. I leave my place around 7:15am and am back by 5:15pm. •For check ins I’m available Monday-Friday 5:15pm-9pm and anytime on weekends. •For overnights; drop off and pick up before 7am or after 5pm on weekdays. Weekends I am available anytime. •I’m very accommodating and easy going! As long as the communication is open and honest, I won’t have a problem accommodating needs :) I live in a very cute neighborhood in downtown Benson and love to go on long walks looking at the real estate! No kids, roommates, or pets! My home does not have a fenced in yard and has stairs leading up to the unit. In others homes I’m happy to show up to walk and play with instructions on how they would like the pup to be cared for. I would love to do a meet and greet before overnights as it often makes the dog (and owner) more at ease when they come for a longer stay! I’m happy to sit for longer periods of time . When I am away at work please let me know if your dog does well free roaming or in a wire cage. I love to send picture/video updates!

“Michelle does a great job with our girls. It's helpful to us to know she will be there for them when we need a hand.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them I know how important they are I would do anything for my fur babies! I have over 8 years of experience helping care for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m responsible, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶💕 I currently work at an elementary school as a resource para with special needs children Monday-Friday 8:30am to 12:45pm. I also am a full time college student I am working for my doctorate in Occupational Therapy! Thankfully all of my classes are online so everyday after 12:45 I am available!! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own—a 5-year-old Corgi and a 2-year-old Wirehaired dog. Both are fully trained, very friendly, and active. I’m comfortable caring for dogs in my home as well as in my clients’ homes. When caring for pets in their home, I will follow their normal routine, keep their environment clean and secure, make sure they have fresh food and water, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and treat their home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines provided by the pet owner.

“I highly recommend using Madeline for drop in visits! She did a wonderful job caring for our two Boxers. She was very communicative and right on time with her drop-ins. We can’t wait to use her again in the future!”

“Jessica was so wonderful to work with! She came through for us on a last minute booking after a cancellation and was willing to make her schedule work for us. She’s communicative and you can tell how much she really loves animals. I will definitely be booking Jessica again!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep love and understanding of dogs! I have two adorable toy poodles one is 2 years old and the other is just 8 months and they are truly my babies. Through raising them, I’ve gained a lot of experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. I’ve spent about a year in total attending training sessions to learn how to read dog behaviors, recognize their comfort levels, and train them with patience and love. I can tell when a dog is happy, nervous, or unsure, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve personally trained both of my dogs, and they are sweet, well-behaved pups thanks to the time and effort I’ve put in. I would treat your dogs just like I do mine—with kindness, attention, and lots of love! I also offer a safe and happy home environment with a fenced-in yard where dogs can play freely and securely. I work from home two days a week, so I’m able to keep an eye on your pet and provide care, snuggles, and playtime throughout the day. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease when they’re away, and I promise to care for your dog like they’re part of the family. Whether they’re a playful puppy or a senior who just wants to relax, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I currently work full time, but I’m usually available after 5:30 PM on weekdays to provide care, playtime, and attention to your pet. On weekends, I’m very flexible and available most of the time, which allows for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays if needed. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy. Two days a week, I work from home, which gives me even more flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether that means letting them out for potty breaks, giving them one-on-one attention, or simply being there so they’re not alone, I’m able to provide a calm and caring environment. Since I already care for my own two dogs daily, routines like feeding, walking, and playtime are already built into my day. Adding more furry friends to that routine is something I truly look forward to it’s not just a task, but something I genuinely love doing! When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fully fenced in yard where dogs can play and explore safely, along with a variety of dog toys and puzzles to keep them engaged and entertained. Inside, I have three separate rooms, which makes it easy to give dogs their own space if they need a break or prefer quiet time. Since I have two toy poodles of my own, I also have plenty of cozy blankets, beds, and enrichment toys to help make every dog feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the dog and their space with the utmost respect and care—just as I would hope someone would do in my own home. I follow all instructions provided, stick to the dog’s usual routine, and make sure to respect any house rules or preferences. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for in a familiar setting, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family!

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life. I grew up with small dogs under 20lbs and now have my own Blue Heeler, Ollie. My cattle dog has given me lots of experience with high-energy pups. I’ve also been fostering with the Nebraska Humane Society for the last three years. This has given me experience with many different breeds, ages, and behaviors. I’ve taken several training classes through GoDogs as well. This has helped me to prepare for many different behaviors using positive reinforcement and redirection. I currently only work 3pm-9pm Monday thru Friday and I have a partner at home while I’m working so the pets will have very minimal time alone or kennel time. I also take my other dog on many walks throughout the day and we average about two hours of dog park time a day as well and we’d be more than happy to bring your pup along if you would like. I have a small fenced yard outside my apartment or a dog park that’s a ten minute walk away for lots of outside play time. I also have a dog and cat of my own so your pet will never be lonely!

About: I have had very few years of my life without the company of a pet - first, growing up with dogs, and now taking care of other people's dogs (and cats). I often have a Golden Retriever who likes to staycay with me when his mom is away. I have boarded Golden Retrievers, Corgis, Bull Mastiffs, Chihuahuas, to name a few! I am also experienced at administering medication. Your little (or big) one will enjoy the creature comforts of a little townhome with a large area to play and exercise. Because I'm located just a couple of blocks from Gifford Park, babies who love the outdoors are just minutes away from a luxurious sprint or smelling who is new in town. When it's time to unwind, the indoors are just right. Beds and couches galore allow for a relaxing way to end the day. All cheekiness aside, I can't wait to meet you and your pet! I am currently taking a chance on a new path into a career I've always dreamed about but never had the time to pursue. At this stage in my life, I'm ready finally to try it! Animals are like children, and they come first. When they are with me, they know it! Regular vet visits, exercise, attention, healthy food, and mental stimulation are a must at my house, and I treat every animal as my own. If someone leaves me in charge of the safety and well-being of their beloved pet, I take that responsibility as high as a person possibly can. Physical safety is not my only concern. I hope to make these times away from you feel less stressful for your loved one. I am sure to give them lots of love and attention so that they feel safe until you return.

About: Hello! I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior cats. As a cat mom myself, I know that pets are family, and how important it is for your pet to be with someone they can trust while you’re away. I have extensive experience providing attention and active engagement with all types of pets. I would love to care for your pets and provide them with a welcoming, trusting face while you're away. I work full-time, but have options to work from home if needed, and can use lunch breaks as a potty break for your furry friend. I love spending time with pets, providing them with enrichment, and a loving, interactive environment. I care for pets by providing them with proper attention and watching their behaviors to determine cues. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs, providing them with a welcoming environment with someone they, and you, can trust.

“Always appreciate you. Thank you for all your help!”

About: I have taken care of many animals from a young age, my love for animals and dogs has always been a big thing for me. I previously worked at a ranch and dog boarding facility where I worked with all breeds and many many animals at once. I’ve always watched family/friends dogs while they are out of town. I would love to spend some time with your animals as well🥰 I am available at just about anytime with a short heads up, I am currently taking time to look for a new job so I will have pleanty of time to look after and tend to your pups! I can be with your dogs, let them out, walk and play with them, to their and your preferred schedule!
