Pet Sitting Creekside

About: I share my home with two animals: Merlot (my 14-year-old dog) and Meleys (my 2-year-old cat). I’ve always grown up with animals and truly can’t imagine life without them—if I had the space, I’d probably have 10 more! I work from home about half the week, which means I’m able to spend plenty of time giving your pet attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Both of my pets are friendly and welcoming to dogs of all sizes. Merlot is more laid-back in his older age and spends most of his time relaxing, while Meleys is comfortable around friendly animals but also has her own quiet space if she prefers some distance. We also have a fenced-in dog park within my complex, perfect for safe playtime, fetch, and burning off energy—especially during the cooler mornings and evenings. Your dog will be treated like part of the family here! Pets are welcome on the furniture, and if they’re used to sleeping in bed, they’re more than welcome to join us. I also have crates available if your dog prefers or is accustomed to crate sleeping. I work part-time from home and set my own schedule, so your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m home all day on Mondays and Fridays, which allows for consistent care and companionship. I’m also available Tuesday through Thursday, though I work in-office in Elk Grove from 6am–2pm. On those days, I can stop home on my lunch break for a potty break and check-in, as long as your pup is comfortable being home alone for a few hours in between. I’m happy to walk your dog alongside mine or separately—whatever best suits their needs and comfort level. I care for pets as if they’re my own, tailoring everything to their routine and comfort level. I work part-time from home (and fully remote Mondays and Fridays), so pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. In my home, dogs enjoy access to a fenced-in dog park for exercise and nearby park walks. Pets are welcome on furniture and the bed if allowed, and I can also accommodate crate routines. For cats, I offer both social integration or a completely separate, quiet space if preferred. I’ve set up a private guest room and bathroom in the past with litter, food, and water to help cats feel safe and adjust at their own pace.

About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.

“Thank you so much, Payton! Payton was great will meeting up the day before to review our care plan. She showed up and took care of our Nelly with updates. We will be booking with Payton again!”

“had a great experience working with Shang over a two week period. She walked and fed my dogs with so much care and reliability. I even had an “oops” moment where I mistakenly thought a day was booked when it wasn’t, and she was incredibly gracious and understanding when I reached out. Once we sorted out my mistake, she confirmed the remaining days and everything went smoothly. I truly appreciate her professionalism, kindness, and flexibility. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

About: Dogs have always been family to me—not just pets. I raised my Chihuahua mix, Lala, from the time she was a puppy and helped care for Grace, a rescue pit bull who came to us extremely underweight. Watching Grace transform from skin and bones into a healthy, confident, loving dog taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and compassionate care. I also care for my friend's Chihuahua, Coco, whom I treat like my own. Through caring for Lala, Grace, and Coco, I've learned that every dog has a unique personality. Some are energetic, some are cautious, and others simply want to be close to someone they trust. I take the time to understand each pet and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience includes preparing high-quality meals, providing fresh water, bathing, brushing teeth, monitoring behavior, giving plenty of affection, and making sure each pet receives the individual attention they deserve. I believe the best care goes beyond meeting basic needs—it's about creating an environment where pets feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for. When your pet is with me, I'll care for them with the same patience, love, and attention I gave Grace, Lala, and Coco. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like family. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable care throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, daycare, overnight boarding, or house sitting, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and personalized care. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, give belly rubs, play with them, clean up after them, and keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including a rescue pit bull and Chihuahuas. I understand that every pet is unique, and l'll care for yours with patience, love, and respect-just like they're part of my own family

“Whitney is fantastic. She treated my cats so well. One is very social and the other is quite scared and she met both of their needs very well. Whitney is quick to reply, very punctual. Also sent beautiful pictures of them! I would love for her to check in on them again.”

“Mindi was wonderful with Odin! She stopped by for a drop-in visit, gave him a nice walk, and made sure he was well cared for. I could tell he was happy and comfortable after their time together. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: I care for pets the same way I care for children with patience, structure, warmth, and lots of positive energy and I also communicate with owners a similar fashion. I’m currently working part-time looking for more full-time employment I am a graduate student and this summer I’ll have a bit more time on my time on my hands. And they seem like a great way to get some extra steps and make some money and provide a service to others. Like I mentioned earlier, I treat pets just as if I was caring for someone’s children so any additional or instructions needed that will help me get to know your pet better and just making sure that all their needs an owner as possible. Concerns are met would be much appreciated. While in my care, I will definitely care for them as my own trust that your pets are safe with me.

About: Hi! I truly love spending time with animals and would be happy to care for your furry family member — whether that means a relaxed walk or attentive care while you’re away. While I don’t have professional experience on Rover yet, I’m responsible, calm, and genuinely attentive to each pet’s needs and mood. I grew up around both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’m very flexible and can care for your pet at any time of the day — morning or evening. I’m comfortable walking or spending time outdoors in all kinds of weather, whether it’s hot or cool. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy and safe. I can care for your pet in your home, which helps them feel more comfortable and less anxious while you’re away. Staying in their familiar environment keeps them calm and happy, and I make sure to provide attention, playtime, and a safe, loving atmosphere throughout the visit.

About: I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. Whether you're traveling for work, taking a vacation, or simply need help during a busy week, you're trusting someone to care for a member of your family. I understand that responsibility, and I never take it for granted. I specialize in House Sitting, Pet Boarding, and Dog Walking, providing personalized care that's tailored to each pet's unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, a curious kitten, or a senior companion who enjoys a slower pace, I take the time to understand what makes them feel comfortable, happy, and secure. I welcome pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including cats. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I tailor my care to meet each pet's individual personality and routine. I also have extensive experience administering oral medications and carefully following detailed care instructions, so you can feel confident your pet's health and well-being are always my priority. I don't see pets as another booking on my calendar. I see them as family members who deserve patience, kindness, attention, and genuine affection. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood while their family is away. My goal isn't simply to care for your pet. It's to earn your trust and become someone you can rely on whenever you need dependable, compassionate pet care. Because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Your pet will receive plenty of companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. My flexible schedule allows me to provide regular potty breaks, meals, medications, walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention based on your pet's normal routine. I know consistency helps pets feel secure, so I do everything I can to make their day feel familiar, comfortable, and stress-free. Communication is just as important to me as the care I provide. When you book with me, you can expect: • Daily updates so you always know how your pet is doing. • Plenty of photos and videos so you can enjoy the little moments you'll miss. • Prompt, reliable communication whenever you have questions. • Honest updates about meals, walks, playtime, naps, medications, and your pet's overall well-being. My goal is for you to relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the same love and attention they're accustomed to at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is always the same: creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is designed with pets in mind. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, along with several nearby parks and scenic walking trails that are perfect for daily walks, exercise, and outdoor adventures. Whether your pet enjoys an energetic game of fetch, exploring new scents, or a leisurely stroll, I'll make sure they get the activity, enrichment, and one-on-one attention they need. During every visit or stay, your pet receives much more than the basics. They'll enjoy companionship, playtime, enrichment, exercise, affection, and plenty of individualized attention. Whether they love chasing a ball, exploring the neighborhood, curling up on the couch, or simply relaxing beside someone they trust, I'll make sure their days are filled with comfort, fun, and genuine care. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll carefully follow their established routine, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, favorite activities, bedtime routines, and any special instructions you provide. I'll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I give your pet. Above all, I want every pet to feel loved, every home to be respected, and every pet owner to feel confident they made the right choice. I'd love to schedule a Meet & Greet so we can get to know each other, answer any questions you may have, and make sure we're the perfect fit. I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your furry family member with the love, care, and attention they deserve.

About: After a few years focused on other animal care work, I’m happy to be actively pet sitting again. I recently moved back to Lincoln, and I will begin offering pet care services again beginning August 2026. In addition to years of pet sitting and dog walking, I have worked professionally in many animal care settings, including veterinary, sanctuary, boarding, and rescue for the last seven years. These settings have taught me the importance of prioritizing safety, observation, consistency, and following detailed care protocols accurately. I have years of experience with fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs and understand that trust cannot be rushed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, use their preferred treats or familiar cues, avoid known triggers, and give them the space or extra reassurance they need to feel comfortable. I also have a special interest in exotic and multi species pet care. I personally have two cats and a leopard gecko and have hands on experience and good foundational husbandry knowledge with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I’m open to caring for many species, and willing to learn any of their specific routine and husbandry requirements beforehand. One of my biggest priorities is following instructions carefully and accurately. I know small details can make a big difference, especially with medications, feeding routines, behavioral needs, enclosure care, or pets with specific safety precautions. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I work full time in animal care on Tuesdays and Thursdays through Saturdays. On those days, I’m available after work for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays. I have more flexibility on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays and can often accommodate daytime care on those days as well. I plan my Rover bookings carefully so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine ahead of time and make sure their care schedule is something I can reliably accommodate. For overnight stays, I do my best to keep feeding, medications, walks, and bedtime routines as close to normal as possible. Safety is always my first priority. Before opening doors or gates, I make sure pets are safely secured, and I always double-check that collars, harnesses, leashes, and other gear fit properly before leaving the home. I follow household and care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walking precautions, behavioral triggers, enclosure care, and any special routines your pet may have. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or anything else that may be important to communicate to you. I currently only provide care in my clients’ homes, which also allows pets to stay in the environment and routine they already know.
