“Abby is a wonderful dog sitter! We could not have gotten luckier with finding her to care for our dog! Throughout the last year she’s watched our dog multiple times and is always very communicative, flexible when we’ve needed it, follows all directions, and clearly really cares about our dog. Would truly recommend Abby to absolutely anyone that needs a dog sitter! Thank you Abby!”


“Ashley was super flexible and went the extra mile for my doggies. I know they love her because they seem relaxed and happy when I return from my travels. I love her photos of my doggies when I’m away.”


“Kalob was very professional, courteous and punctual too. Scout enjoyed his time with Kalob and he even brought Scout treats! I would definitely have him watch Scout again!”


“Kayla is the best! Super responsive and flexible. One of our dogs is a big anxious boy (around 70 lbs) and she always knows how to keep him at ease. She is our go to sitter whenever we need one!”


“Leanne went above and beyond for our puppy, not just on regular days, but also when he was sick. I don’t know what we would’ve done without you, Leanne - thank you so much for everything!!”


“Dom was great! Everything was perfect when we got home after 4 days. He sent a lot of pics of my 2 older cats. My scaredycat even liked Dom on the first day, which is saying a lot. Highly recommended, hope to use again!”


“Ella took care of our pets for a week. Upon first meeting her via the video chat, she was easy to communicate with and followed through on calling at the set up time to call. She also came in person to meet our pets and get the care run down on time. She was friendly and professional. She clearly communicated her schedule and plan for letting our dog out. She stayed at our home over the week and we came back to everything looking the same. The only thing I would have liked was a little quicker response to texts (initially it took a little longer than expected to her if she was available) and more frequent check-ins with pet pictures would have been nice. But otherwise we really appreciated her care of our pets and will check to see if she is available again in the future.”


“Meghan is great! She is super-friendly and yes, reliable! She came a couple days before her first visit (hopefully of many!) and asked all kinds of helpful questions while we took a short walk with Snoots. She watched her for a long day, and when I came home, Snoots was snuggled right up with her. My dog was well-cared for, warm, and dry on a chilly and rainy evening. Thanks, Meghan!”


“Ashlley and her husband did a wonderful job caring for my pets! My dog can be leery of strangers, especially unknown men, but he warmed to them both so quickly during the meet and greet, I knew he'd be in good hands. She was responsive and sent pics every day.”


“Marie took such good care of Hunter! She took him on lots of walks and made sure he got the attention he needed. Marie clearly likes dogs and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”


“Alaina did wonderful. She let me know what was going on periodically. Left the house in good condition. And most of all, took very good care of my boy while I was gone. I will definitely look for her again.”


“Abigail was great with our pup! She did a great job bonding with him and easing him into getting to know her. We felt very comfortable leaving him know she was taking such good care of him!”


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 love both dogs and cats. I have experience walking and staying with pets including giving medications and lots of love. I look forward to meeting your pet! I’m home from college for the summer and other than some evenings, I am available. While house sitting I shouldn’t be gone for more than 5-6 hours at a time. My dog, Hunter, requires consistent walks and medication so I am accustomed to following a schedule. I will follow any instructions you provide for me and I’ll communicate with you regularly.
