Dog Sitting in Eagle

“Catrina and her family helped us out when we were in a bind by coming over and feeding our dogs and letting them out for a while. They were very kind and accommodating. We appreciate the assist, thank you so much!! ☺️”

About: Animals have been the heartbeat of my home for as long as I can remember. With over 15 years of personal experience raising both dogs and cats, and 5+ years of professional pet sitting, I’ve navigated everything from puppy energy to senior care. I pride myself on being an 'animal magnet'—I’ve truly never met a pet I couldn't bond with! When your furry family member is with me, they aren't just being watched; they are being loved, played with, and treated with the same dedicated care I give my own. Because I’m a stay-at-home mom, your pet becomes a natural part of my daily rhythm! My schedule offers the ultimate flexibility for your furry friends. Once the school drop-off is done, my late mornings and early afternoons are wide open and dedicated to long walks, playtime, and giving your pets the midday attention they crave while you're at work. I also offer a 'Night Owl' service—after my own kids are tucked in, I love headed out for one last evening visit. It’s my favorite time of day to provide those quiet, late-night cuddles and a final potty break, ensuring your pet is relaxed and sleepy before bed. My Approach to Pet Care Whether I am stopping by for a quick check-in or a long afternoon visit, my priority is safety, stimulation, and affection. Here is how I handle each service: 🚶 Dog Walking (Energy & Enrichment) The Route: I customize the walk to your dog's age and energy level—whether they need a brisk mile or a slow "sniff-around" to stimulate their brain. Safety First: I always double-check harnesses/collars and stay hyper-aware of other dogs or distractions in the neighborhood. Refresh: Every walk ends with fresh water and a paw-wipe if it’s a rainy day! 🏠 Drop-In Visits: Short (15 mins) Efficiency & Care: These are perfect for potty breaks and quick feedings. The Checklist: I prioritize the essentials—fresh water, food, and litter box scooping—followed by 10 minutes of focused playtime or cuddles so they don't feel lonely. Updates: You’ll receive a quick photo and a "business" report (potty/eating) before I leave. 🛋️ Drop-In Visits: Long (30+ mins) Company & Comfort: Best for high-energy puppies or "velcro" dogs and cats who crave human presence. Quality Time: We might spend 30 minutes playing fetch in the yard and the other 30 minutes relaxing on the couch. Household Help: Since I’m there longer, I’m happy to bring in the mail or water a few plants to keep your home looking lived-in and secure. 🛡️ Standard Care Procedures Regardless of the service, I follow a strict protocol to ensure your peace of mind: Home Security: I am meticulous about locking doors and setting alarms exactly as instructed. Communication: I send "pupdates" with photos after every visit so you can see your happy pet in real-time. The "Animal Magnet" Touch: I use the first few minutes of every visit to settle the pet’s energy, using a calm voice and gentle approach to ensure they feel safe and excited to see me.

About: I have had pets my entire life including many dogs of different sizes, cats, and other animals. To be specific, I have owned 2 black labs, a beagle, a toy Yorkie, a golden retriever. I currently have 2 cats, one of which is medicated for siezures twice daily, and a bird. I have also had many fish, ducks, and even a bearded dragon. I LOVE animals, which is why I am majored in Zoology. During High School I worked at my local pound (Puppy Love). I have 3 years of professional experience caring for animals at humane shelters. During these times, I dealt with dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments including aggressive dogs. I am very capable of handling whatever an animal may need no matter how difficult it may seem at first. I have a great passion for giving animals the best life they can possibly have. By looking at the lives of my animals you can see that clearly. I have also, in the past, gone to peoples homes to take care of their animals while they were away and have had a lot of positive feedback on my work. I am dedicated and do not scare easily. I am definitely an animal person :) I have a good schedule with my own pets, woth daily and weekly activities I keep up consistently. I respect the need for a schedule and will do my best to keep yours. I strive to keep and calm and clean environment wherever animals are present. Sometimes they make messes, that's just the way they are. The same basic animal care principles apply to any environment, you just have to know where your tools are. I always try to go the extra mile when taking care of anyone's pets.

About: Hi there! My name is Nathaniel and I am a passionate and responsible pet caregiver with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, both small and large. I absolutely love walking dogs and treating them as part of the family. My Experience: Having spent many years looking after dogs in my home and for others, I understand their needs and behaviors. I have a Goldendoodle who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs, making our home a welcoming environment for your furry friends. What I Offer: I can provide a range of services, including: - Dog walking in the mornings or after work during the week - Boarding on the weekends - Playtime and exercise in my secure, fenced yard - Access to a farm where dogs can run and explore My Philosophy: I believe every pet deserves love, attention, and the best care while their owners are away. My priority is always to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. I tailor my approach to fit each pet's unique personality and needs. Fun Fact: In addition to caring for pets, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my Goldendoodle, exploring new parks, and going on adventures. I’d love to take your pet on similar outings! Let’s Connect! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to talk about specifics! Pet care is central to my daily and weekly routine. I start each day with a morning walk with my Goldendoodle, which sets a positive tone. On weekdays, I dedicate time after work for walks and play sessions with dogs in my care. Weekends are focused on boarding, providing ample playtime in my fenced yard and access to a farm. Throughout the day, I ensure daily care, from feeding to grooming, making sure all pets receive the attention and love they deserve. This structured routine fulfills my passion for caring for animals. In my home and my clients' homes, I provide personalized pet care tailored to their needs. During daily walks, I focus on each dog's energy level and preferences to ensure they get the exercise they need. When pet sitting, I maintain routines, including feeding, playtime, and medication, prioritizing their comfort and security. For boarding, pets enjoy a cozy environment with a fenced yard and access to a farm for play and socialization with my Goldendoodle. I ensure daily care includes feeding, bathroom breaks, and plenty of playtime while adapting to each pet’s unique requirements. Additionally, I monitor their health closely, providing updates to owners and addressing any concerns promptly. This approach ensures pets feel loved, secure, and happy, whether at my home or theirs.

“Melissa is the best! She went above and beyond to make this an easy and stress-free process. She watched my cat for a week and I knew he was in good hands the whole time. I highly recommend Melissa :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old, including feeding, walking, playing, and basic care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them comfortable and well cared for. I’m currently in graduate school and have extra flexibility throughout my days, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I love staying active and enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping pets engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own space, keep the home tidy, and provide updates and photos to owners.

About: dogs are very important to me as i have been around them my entire life. i currently work at a dog kennel and as much as i enjoy cleaning up after and taking care of those dogs, i would love to have the opportunity to take care of more dogs outside of the kennel environment. my own dog is so very special to me. when i take him back to visit my parents, we have a total of four dogs running around! the smallest is around 10lbs and the biggest is around 85lbs, needless to say it’s crazy and fun! i currently work part time so i am very flexible with my schedule. i am happy to accommodate as much as i can to fit whatever needs you may have. i live in an apartment so as of now, i am not able to dog sit at my home. however, i am more than happy to commute to your residence to treat your dog as if they were my own. dogs have unique personalities and i am capable of accommodating special requests to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe with me as possible.

About: I have dog sat for the past 4 years in the Omaha Metro area and in Lincoln for several families. I managed the care of 3 large breed dogs for multiple days during several housesitting stays. I also have 2 dogs on my family farm, a Border Collie and a Mini Aussie, that we have had for over 6 years. I would love to help take care of your pets while you are on vacation or out of town! I am a full time student in PA school. I usually attend class from 8-2 daily but then I am free from there-on to do tasks as need be which would give me the freedom to go and dog sit! I treat all pets with respect. I know that I wouldn’t want my dogs treated poorly by a new person watching them. I usually take the dogs for a walk or two and then fetch or whatever the usual regimen consists of. I also ensure that dietary restrictions are followed as written.

“Caira did a great job with our 3 dogs! My dogs can be very shy and take a little longer to warm up to people, but Caira knew how to approach them and had very little issues with them. She was also very flexible, which helped when our plans changed. Thank you Caira!”

“This was my very first time using anything like Rover to help take care of my dog partner. Olivia Maximilianus lived up to, and beyond, any expectations I ever had; performing with brilliant helpfulness. Providing professional service above any idea of which that I had going into the situation of needing help feeding my four-legged relative, while I traveled. With the sonic intuition of a bat soaring through the night, she knew what I needed before I could even think of it. With the professional and timely voice of mourning dove, she was prompt and unbelievably reliable. With the cool and calm discipline of a crow crossing a wire over a field of peace lilies, bluegrasses, and dandelions, she left my home and space in a cleaner and more organised way than I had left it. And with the resilience and dedication of V-formed geese, my four-legged family was exercised and engaged in such a good way. Evidenced in her calm and content energy in my return home. Reminding me of the words from my favourite poet, Mary Oliver, in the last verse of her poem titled, October: “One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me- and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.””

About: As someone who works in the pet care industry and has three dogs of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra comfort and attention, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full time in the pet care industry, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! With at least a week’s notice, I’m able to make my schedule flexible to best meet the needs of your pet and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I currently offer care within my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I know how important consistency can be for animals, especially for shy pets, seniors, or pets who may become stressed in new environments. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, and comfort needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind during visits.

“Marikita is the best! Tucker, our dog, loves seeing her and playing with her. Great job as always! We never worry when Marikita is dog sitting. She is very caring and trustworthy.”

“Kelsey was awesome! She came over to meet everyone before the day we were gone, which helped us feel better about leaving them. She sent us pictures and let us know how it went. Our pets were in good hands and we will definitely use her again!”

However, I do work in town and always go home on my lunch breaks. I am available all week nights as I work 8-4:30. I currently live in an apartment, so I have no fenced in yard. However, I always take my dog for long walks throughout the neighborhood, to the dog park, and for car rides!

“Mikayla was absolutely wonderful in her care for our two cats while we were away! When we returned, you could tell they had been treated well and loved. Mikayla sent a couple of pictures which showed they were just fine, and that helped calm my sister immensely about her younger cat. We have complete confidence in Mikayla and will be happy to book her again. Thank you, Mikayla!! You allowed us to really enjoy a needed time away to visit family.”
