About: I’ve helped my momma foster animals- specifically cats weening off the bottle and dogs from the shelter. Have had a plethora of animals growing up. I currently go to dental school at creighton but I have plenty of time for drop ins and some dog walking! Weekends are also easy for me to help anyone in need. My cats are easy as they play with each other while I’m gone, but I play with them while at home and have plenty of dog experience as well from growing up with all types of animals!
“I'm very pleased with Julia's drop in visit. She was very thorough and engaged in activity with my pup. She let met know when she started and ended visit & included pics. Which I appreciate so much!”


“Very reliable. While we were away from home for an extended period of time she was able to drop in to let our two dogs outside, play with them a bit, keep them company, and give them treats. Thanks, Ashlee!”


“Kayla really came through for us. Contacted her last minute and she immediately came for a meet and greet. She took care of giving both of my cats medications, which I am sure was not fun, especially for one that normally doesn't get any. I'd definitely recommend Kayla and will keep her on my Go-to list!”

“Alexis was great! She was willing to come meet with us before our trip to meet our cats and she took excellent care of them. Will book with her again in the future! Thank you! :)”

“I was really worried about leaving my dogs for the weekend because of Franklin’s seizures, but Ashley was so incredible taking care of the boys and staying in contact letting me know how they were doing. Both dogs quickly warmed to her and even the cat came out from hiding when she would stop by! They obviously were well cared for.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. From 10 pound mini poodles to 100 pound golden retrievers. I’ve been trusted to dogsit, walk and take care of my families for years. My girlfriend kera and I have watched dogs of all sizes for the last few years. I am a student and kera works fully remote. Easily able to take care of pets. Being able to take care of them during the work day isn’t a problem! Our apartment is near grassy areas and parks, easily able to walk and take them to pets to play. Plenty of space for pets to relax.
“Paige does an amazing job with my kitty when I’m away! I feel so comfortable leaving because I know she’ll take great job of her while I’m gone.will continue to use her when I’m out of town!”

“Katarina is always amazing with helping us out occasionally when our sitter cant check in on our chihuahua mix. She is so friendly and works to make your request work, which we really appreciate. She takes more than a couple pictures usually which is awesome. Its always reassuring when we have her booked, we know our Hazel is in good, caring hands. Thanks again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I grew up with three dogs and now live with three cats—one’s mine, and the other two are my siblings’ (but they basically think I’m in charge 😎). I’ve helped care for pets of friends, family, and neighbors over the years, including walking dogs, feeding, playtime, and even overnight stays. I also completed an internship at Prince George’s Animal Shelter, where I got hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. From playful pups to shy senior pets, I know how to adjust and make each one feel loved and safe. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, feedings, or giving meds, I’ve got it covered! Taking care of animals is already part of my everyday life—I live with three cats, so feeding, cleaning, cuddling, and making sure everyone’s happy is part of the routine. I work just five minutes away from home, which makes it super easy for me to pop in for check-ins, walks, or drop-in visits throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning, midday, or evening care, I can usually make it work without stress. Pet care just fits naturally into my schedule—I love it and honestly wouldn’t have it any other way! Whether your pet is staying at my home or I’m coming to yours, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—like part of the family. At my house, I have space (fenced yard, catio, and nearby park) for your dog or cat to relax, play, and feel at home, plus I follow their usual routines (meals, potty breaks, meds, etc.) to help them settle in with less stress. My pets are friendly and used to having furry guests around! If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely and keep things just how they’re used to—whether that’s specific feeding times, favorite toys, walks, or just being there for company. I always give updates and photos so you know your pet is in good hands while you’re away.

About: Hi, I am a student who would love to spend her free time helping a dog not get lonely! I have had three dogs of all different ages!! I know how to deal with puppies and older dogs with medical problems. I hope to help keep a dog busy so they don’t get too lonely!! I currently have a job and work most weekends and some weekdays. However it varies so I am very flexible! I also am a student but I am done with classes at two. I am able to do drop-in visit every day after two in the afternoon and throughout the weekend! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs that can play whenever energy needs to be burned off! I also live by a dog park that is very friendly!! I can crate a dog if needed or take it on a walk to keep them active.
“My fur baby loved Rachel! I had her come do drop ins at my house while I was on vacation. She sent me lots of pics and videos while I was away & she took care of locking my house back up and kept everything just how I left it. Definitely recommend! It’s hard to trust a stranger with your pet(s) but I will definitely be booking Rachel again.”

“Olivia was fantastic! She agreed to meet my dog beforehand and was so sweet to her while I was out of town. I got daily pictures with updates and reaching Olivia was never an issue. For someone who rarely leaves their dog, this was such a great first experience. I would definitely book again😊 Thank you for everything!!!”


About: I’ve taken care of pets for 10+ years, from cats to giant dogs. I have two dogs of my own, and have had cats in the past, so I understand the individual needs of each animal. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I’m currently working part time, 3 days a week! My schedule changes week to week, but I am open and flexible to changing my schedule! I can easily crate or move your dogs if I need to! I am eager to earn their trust and am willing to bribe them with treats. I understand each pet has different needs and I am adaptable to them!
“Kiana was awesome for drop in visits! Kept me updated each time she stopped by and was reliable. My cat can be a bit of a grump around anyone but me, and Kiana handled her perfectly. I was glad to have someone stopping by that had experience with all types of animal personalities 🙂 Would definitely recommend her and will rebook again in the future!”
