Frankie was in great hands! We needed a last-minute sitter for a 3-day stay at our house, and she was wonderful. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind, and it was clear Frankie was well cared for and comfortable. We came home to a happy dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.

Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!

About: I grew up with a dog, who became my biggest inspiration for working with animals for a living. Currently, I have 3 cats and work as a kennel attendant in my college town. I have worked with many disabled animals, helping them go outside or get comfortable. I have also worked with very young animals who need a little extra patience sometimes. I always pay attention to the animal's individual needs and do my absolute best to accommodate for them. In the past I interned with a groomer who taught me many behavioral signs of dogs and tricks to make them more comfortable if need be. I have also done a lot of research of my own for the behaviors of cats in order to understand my own. I'm currently home for the summer from college and am needing a job that's flexible, but also something that I still love. Since I'm home I will have all the time for all the pets' needs. When I care for an animal I start by giving them lovings, if they are willing to be pet. I will then pick up after them, walk them or scoop their litter, feed them, and of course before I can leave, play with them. Most of all before I do anything else, I double and triple check to see their instructions. Especially if they have any special instructions, I will switch my routine accordingly.

About: I’m a reliable and attentive dog lover based in Omaha, offering a safe, loving environment for your pets while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and administering basic care. Whether your dog needs lots of activity or just a calm, cozy space, I adjust to their needs. I’m also very responsive and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease while you’re away. ✨ Flexible schedule ✨ Clean, safe environment ✨ Fast communication ✨ Lots of love and attention I’d love to meet you and your pup! I currently work from home remotely Monday through Friday with a lot of flexibility! I have my weekends open completely so maintaining my schedule will be easy to do! I currently take extra precautions with my dog (Kumo) now! Since he is an XL dog, he is always securely harnessed, and I own a muzzle (not that he needs it!) but it’s important to keep others feeling secure around such a large animal. I take him to the dog park as much as possible, when it’s not too cold! He has surgery on his leg when we first rescued him and I care for his long term disability by maintaining a healthy lifestyle for him!

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!
