Theresa did a great job with our puppies. She was on time and on track with one of the puppy's daily meds and sent pictures of the puppies all snuggled in. We will definitely call her back to sit with our puppies in the future. Thanks.

Jack and Kate housesat for us while we were gone for a week. It was our first time having sitters home with our two dogs while we were gone, and it was a great experience. Jack communicated with us frequently, sending photos and letting us know how the dogs were adjusting. One of ours can get pretty anxious, and Jack and Kate went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe, comfortable and happy.

As a first time pet parent leaving her babies in the care of someone who is not family, I was working up. Alyssa was kind enough to meet the crew twice before our trip and she was always very kind when I worried too much.

Jordan was great with my dogs! I hired him to house sit for three days while I was away. He was very attentive and was eager to get as many details about the care for my dogs as possible to provide the best service he could. He asked about behaviors, triggers, things he should look out for, as well as commands we were working on. He sent plenty of pictures throughout so I felt at ease on my trip. My dogs really warmed up to him. He also tidied up the house before leaving (washed sheets, cleaned dishes, poop scooped the yard). He really went above and beyond. Will be sure to book again!

About: Hi, I'm Kate! I live here, in Omaha, NE. I am a very caring person and I absolutely love animals. I'm able to take them on long walks and also have the patience and enthusiasm to provide a steady and comforting environment for while owners are away. After house sitting for a family friend and taking care of their three dogs, I realized this was a great gig for me. Recently I've also been able to teach my friend's pets helpful and fun tricks, like waiting until a release command is given to go outside or even giving a high-five. I hope to hear from you soon! I am available most days in the afternoon and evening. Other than my day-job I have no other extraneous responsibilities so I can dedicate all my free-time to the health and care of your beloved animals. I'm very well-equipped to handle most animals. I acknowledge them as respected members of the family and will not treat them as anything less. My primary goal is to maintain/promote the health and well-being of the animal as if it were my own.

Linda is excellent! I have never used an in home sitter, and had a really GREAT experience with Linda. She came over in advance to meet me, meet the dogs (I have 3), and get the lay of the land with the house and back yard. I really appreciated the time she took (free of charge) to do this. Upon meeting her, I knew she was the right choice for me and my dogs. I got very lucky, as she was my first contact. I could tell Linda could easily manage 3 dogs (which sometimes feels like 100). Linda showed up as promised, minimized time away from dogs, provided great photos, videos and updates. She’s someone you could definitely count on should something happen while you are away. Bottom line. She knows how to handle animals, an home and has a very calm and kind demeanor. I could tell by the videos, that my dogs loved their time with her. Highly recommend Linda!

Paloma was an outstanding dog sitter. She was extremely dependable and responsible, treated our home with respect, and truly fell in love with our two large dogs. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned, our home was left neat and tidy. We would absolutely use Paloma’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

I think our dogs had a better vacation than we did. Sue even got our timid little dog to rollover for belly rubs. She sent many updates and left our house exactly how we left it. It was so nice to be able to relax knowing that our dogs were being spoiled and loved.

Abigail did a wonderful job house sitting and watching our dog for us! Our dog has some separation anxiety and hasn’t done well in boarding facilities or staying at someone else’s home so we decided to try house sitting. We were a little nervous about it but Abigail put our minds at ease, sent us updates every day and took such good care of him! He was much more comfortable in his own environment and I didn’t have to stress about him while we were away. I would 100% book with her when going out of town in the future.

Emma was awesome! She answered my texts right away, she sent me pictures of my Bonita. The most important was the communication, she texted when she was going out and when she was at home. My house was super clean! I was able to relax thinking that my Bonita was in good hands! I really really recommend Emma, the best dog sitter! I will hire her again for my birthday trip in July 🥰

They were awesome! This was a last minute booking as I’m new to the area and they communicated really well. They were super understanding when my travel got delayed by weather and I had to add on an extra day. I also delayed my start date by a day due to travel issues as well. Sent pictures daily!!

5 Star Review! I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Tiffany and Brandon! From the moment we connected, they were warm, professional, and attentive to every detail. Our dogs instantly felt comfortable and at ease with them, which made leaving so much easier. Tiffany and Brandon were incredibly flexible when we had last-minute changes to our travel plans, and they handled everything with patience and understanding. Throughout the stay, they provided regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they genuinely cared about our dogs’ comfort and happiness. They followed all instructions perfectly, kept routines consistent, gave meds, and spent quality time giving plenty of love and attention. We came home to relaxed, happy dogs and a tidy house—such a relief after traveling! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and truly exceptional pet care. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!
