“Kayla was AWESOME. We were out of town for two weeks and she took great care of our three cats. Kayla provided great updates and sent lots of photos. Thanks Kayla…You do great work.”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I currently live with two small dogs that I’ve been taking care of for the last 8 years. I have a lot of experience with both extremely small dogs like Miniature Yorkies as well as large dogs like German Shepards. I think I’m also very good puppies and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about me. I’m currently a fully online college student so I can take care of your pets at any hours on any day. If you need me to check on your pets at 2AM that’s fine with me.😊 I am happy to accommodate for your pets and keep their schedules as normal as possible while you are away. I can take them for their daily walk or continue feeding them at their normal times.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog and cat since I was 12. I have experience with crate training dogs and maintaining the commands that my client’s use with their dog/cat. I’m very flexible to my client’s needs and always want to exceed their expectations. I’m currently a full time student, so I’ll be available mostly on the weekends to dogsit/catsit. However, I can always work with both of our schedules to accommodate drop ins during the week! I live in an apartment in downtown Lincoln, so it’s not very ideal for pet sitting. I’ve dog sat in multiple families homes, and there hasn’t been any issues or complaints. If it’s over the weekends, I can spend more time caring for your fur baby, even if that involves spending the day or night there too!

About: I’ve taken care of my own family dogs and dog and watched for friends and families. I am a college student who is trying to make some extra cash with her own one year old Dalmatian! I am available on weekends any time of day and mornings during the week day between 8-11am and then after 6pm on week days as well! I would like you to know I will care for your pet like my own. Meeting there exercise needs, keeping them safe on walks and comfortable when staying in my home

“Wr needed a dog/house sitter for a last minute trip. I didn't want just anyone, either. Ibqas so worried our dogs were just going to be let out 3-4 times a day, and not get any play time. That was not the case when I got on here and found Ashlee. She was simply amazing! She sent me pictures of our dogs multiple times a day, was always checking in with me. Our dogs usually have separation anxiety and they seemed to do just fine with her! She walked our dogs multiple times, spoiled the with treats, played with them outside for a while! We were very blessed to have found Ashlee. We liked her so much we booked her again when we went to a concert, and we have her potentially booked for our vacation in February! She is a fantastic dog/house sitter. Thanks again, Ashlee! ?”


About: I’ve taken care of animals for a long time and I am able to handle the large breeds all the way to the smallest breeds. I can handle training and potty training and I can ensure comfort and confidence in each pet! I’m working part time in the morning with the afternoon and evenings free and I have Monday/thursday/Sunday off! I can do things early morning, mid afternoon, evening, and night! I own my home, with two cats that have their own space and a very social and friendly weiner dog. I have a big backyard and a phenomenal neighborhood for walking!


“Amy is amazing! She checked on our our cat twice a day while we were away for the holidays and when we returned you could tell how relaxed and happy he had been while we were away. No throw up or hair balls and he looked better than when we left because Amy know how much he loves to be brushed. the rover card photos and description of how he was doing warmed my heart and it was stress free knowing Amy was taking care of him but also checking on our house, taking in mail and even emptying our dehumidifier when needed- above and beyond. I highly recommend Amy and I know our cat would say the same- he loves her!”

I previously offered pet sitting through Rover and absolutely loved it—we even ended up adopting our sweet dog, Rocky, after falling in love with the experience! 🐕❤️ Rocky is a friendly, well-socialized dog who gets along great with other pups. My kids have grown up around animals and are gentle, respectful, and love giving pets and treats (with your permission, of course!). Your dog will be treated like part of the family here. We have a cozy, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for safe playtime and potty breaks. I’m also happy to care for pets with special needs, administer medication, or follow any specific routines your dog is used to. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to provide loving, dependable care. Let’s chat and set up a meet and greet! 🐶🐾 During the school year, I’m available between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., or after 4 p.m., since I pick up my kids from school. Let me know what works best for you!

About: A proud rescue mom to a sweet maltipoo Bebe and a cat named Mulligan, both adopted during the pandemic. Being their human has taught me just how much love, patience, and attention every pet deserves. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after.

I currently teach at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and my summer schedule is very flexible. I work remotely often, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pet during the day. Whether it’s check-ins, walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I can easily fit pet care into my routine and make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve.

“We could not be happier with the care and attention Dom provided our two kitties. They came home happy & tired from their fun day! I will 100% book again with Dom & I definitely recommend them to my friends and family!!! Thank you so much for the love, care, & attention you gave our boys all day. You made it so much easier for them to relax while we were away, we could never thank you enough!”

About: I have had pets my entire life and have taken care of family friends dogs before. My dogs are rescues, so that is training on its own. When family is out of town I take care of theirs, that includes my aunt and uncle, grandparents, and more. I'm a pretty flexible person, I like being up early and I don't mind driving to come take care of animals. I do work a lot, meaning i'll be out and about and am always down to come see some animals. I also love taking animals on a good walk!! I am huge on love and attention, making sure that they are well kept. My dogs are a little too loved, they really love their treats. But I am respectful of all owners rules for their animals and will take care of them to the best of my ability as if the owners weren't gone.

About: I have been around animals since I was born and I am very accustomed to caring for them. I also have three years of lifeguarding experience, so I know how to respond in emergency situations. I am a college student athlete (currently in the off season), so I am available after class ends (around 3 pm most days) and on weekends. I live in a dorm, so I will only be able to care for your animal at your house or take them on walks, but I have good problem solving skills and a lot of experience with animals, so I can handle situations that come up!

About: My parents would take me to their friends houses growing up and if they couldn’t find me they would look for the family pet and know that’s where I would probably be. I grew up riding horses, have dogs, and going to families farms. I have such a love for animals and understand the deep bond and support they provide people. I dog sit rescues who need some time warming up to very energetic pups! I feel really comfortable with all sizes and kinds of dogs and take feedback about how to support individual animals seriously! I work in schools and am off between 3 - 5 weekly. Fridays I have a lot of flexibility and can work from home which makes walks, letting pups out, or a check-in easy on Fridays! I usually go to homes! If you’re comfortable with your pup staying with me I have a very friendly love pup named Frederick who would love to be your pups best friend!

“Heather was amazing! I was very nervous leaving my cats with someone I didn’t know, but Heather reassured me they would be very well taken care of, and i was not disappointed, I could tell my cats were already comfortable around her, and she was very responsive! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner my whole life. By the age of 8 I was dog sitting. I’ve dealt with dogs with ages that range from newborn to 15. I also have experience working in an animal boarding facility. I was tasked with taking care of 50 dogs at a time as well as cats and bunnies on occasion. I administered medication and meals that followed strict diets. I would also walk each pup daily (if required by owner). I have a love for all pups and I will always do whatever I can to ensure they are happy and taken care of! I am currently a full time student with classes from 9:30-12:30 MWF and 11-6 TTH. I also am a member of an a capella group which practices from 8-10 on Mondays and Wednesdays and I work part-time at a small business. Other than that I am usually free and can be very flexible! As of now, I am living in an apartment with one friendly cat. There is a dog park connected to the complex with plenty of room for pups to run and play.

She knows exactly how to handle any situation, calmly and responsibly - she kept us updated with tons of pictures and comments on how the pets were eating as well as adjusting to us being gone. We trust her entirely, she’s stayed at our house with our pets on multiple occasions and always done a terrific job. She took the pups on a walk long enough to actually tucker them out (which we try to do and never manage). She’s the best.”


Schyler J.
