Dog Sitting Elkhorn

About: I've had multiple dogs over my lifetime. I have always been a dog lover and am always sure to give them the love, attention, and exercise that they need and deserve. I work from home two days a week, so the only days I am not at the house with the dogs is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On the days that I do not work from home, somebody is always at the house until 7:30 and back at the house by 3:30 I have a fenced in back yard, which makes for a nice safe area to play fetch and run around with my kids. For pets staying overnight, they will get walked at least twice, once in the morning and once in the evening. Depending on the owners preference, we can walk through the neighborhood, or we can take a short drive to Zorinsky and walk around the lake. I have three dogs, all with great temperaments and LOVE to play. I also treat our animals like family, so your pets are also more than welcome to be on furniture if that's where they are most comfortable.

About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am about to start a part-time job that has me working either from 10-3 or 11-4. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the late start time of the work! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring dog lover who knows that every pup deserves plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or a slower-paced stroll, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I treat every dog like they’re my own and can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I would take care if any of your needs for your fur baby! I love all kinds of breeds and I would love to take care of them. Every visit is tailored to your dog’s needs! Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a trip to the dog park (with your permission), or playtime in the yard, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I’ll also provide fresh water, potty breaks, and lots of affection so they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was in jr high school. I currently have 1 dog 3 fish, and 2 humans I keep alive! I'm patient, I have lots of energy but also like to chill if that's what your pup would prefer! I've recently made some major lifestyle changes to make myself more flexible and accessible for my family! This gives me the chance to be available about anytime of day. I would love to meet you and your pets! At this point my calendar is fairly open, I am flexible and willing to work with moving and changing schedules. Most of my day involves school pick up and off and being a taxi to evening dance classes, which is easily done with or around the schedule of an extra furry friend or 2. We have 1 Brittany. She she has full use of all upstairs furniture, a fully enclosed backyard and probably too many snacks! They are happy to welcome new friends to sit on their sofas!

“Jessica was so wonderful to work with! She came through for us on a last minute booking after a cancellation and was willing to make her schedule work for us. She’s communicative and you can tell how much she really loves animals. I will definitely be booking Jessica again!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. I grew up with both Jack Russells and Labrador Retrievers, so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. As an adult, I’ve raised playful Labs, snuggly English Bulldogs, and now I share my home with a fabulous little Maltipoo. From energetic puppies to slow-moving senior dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I’m comfortable giving medications, going on walks (or just to the mailbox if that’s more their speed), and understanding what your pup needs to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much your dog means to you. When they’re with me, they’ll be treated like family, because that’s exactly what they’ll be. Whether they’re active or laid-back, a snuggle bug or a solo sleeper, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they’re well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets it when it comes to dogs, I’m your girl. 🐾 I work from home, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Walks, playtime, and snuggles are part of the flow of my day. Whether your pup loves attention or prefers to lounge quietly nearby, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved. My home is calm, cozy, and perfect for dogs who enjoy a low-key, comfortable environment. I provide a calm, clean, and secure home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I always follow feeding instructions, keep a close eye on behavior, and give plenty of attention and affection. Whether it’s administering medication, going for a walk, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I have always been a dog mom, since the start of adulthood. I was raised with cats and dogs in the home. Professionally, I am a child mental health therapist, and as part of my prior training in Psychology, I completed a field experience at the Nebraska Humane Society using behavior modification to train dogs. I have spent many years housesitting, dog sitting and cat sitting during my professional schooling. As my stepchildren are almost all grown and out of the home, I have found myself with some extra time and would love to help your family with care for your fur babies. I have experience with senior pets as well as giving medications. No reptile experience. I currently have a very flexible schedule and I’m able to make my own schedule at work. This will allow me the flexibility to care for your pets at various times throughout the day and evenings. I have a fence yard and two pets of my own at home. However, as I have a friend that rents a room in my home, I am able to housesit overnight and take care of pets in their own home so they don’t have to be displaced. I am also open to whatever schedule works for each family, for drop in care or walks.

About: Animals happiness is a fundamental principle that I feel strongly about. This made growing up with and caring for all animals my favorite part of each day! I would love to give your pet you call family a break from their long days of sleeping in. My experience includes living with and pet sitting for dogs of all ages and sizes. Before becoming a pet sitter, I had only owned a cat, but have experienced the joys of all cats personality’s. I’m currently a Junior in college at UNO and have a professional level of experience scheduling around my classes and previously a demanding sport. A part time, high activity, and flexible routine is my cup of tea! My most convenient times are early afternoons and whenever works best for you. I have well rounded experience in feeding pets, cleaning their toilet activities, and taking them on walks and runs. I currently call a black cat, jack Russell terroir, Weimaraner, blonde wiener dog and chickens my family!

About: My fiance and I have 10+ years of experience taking care of dogs, and have been the go-to dog sitters for all of our family and friends! Our 2 babies are our world, and are both so good with other dogs. We will take the absolute best care of your babies!! My fiancè and I work full time M-F, 8:00am - 4:30pm. If you need your dogs let out / walked in the evenings, we are happy to help! We are fully available in the evenings and almost every weekend! We have a fully fenced in back yard that our boys love to run around in and I’m sure your babies would too!! We have a dimmed, quiet place to put kennels during the day to make sure they are safe and comfortable while we aren’t there. Our 2 boys have separation anxiety, and have found a comforting spot that works great for them. We have a pet camera available looking at the kennels that we frequently look at to make sure there are no emergencies while we are gone!

About: I have experience in training and animals handling. I have been called an animal whisperer. I am open to all pets even aggressive ones. I have experience in exotic pets as well. I am in college and I take care of animals in between my classes. This will not take away from my time spent with your animals and I will be fully focused on your pet while I am there. I have a large amount of experience with animal behavior. I can confidently and comfortably care for all types of animals regardless of temperament or aggression level. Your pet will always be safe with me.

“Jennifer was absolutely awesome. We went out of town internationally and left our fur babies at home. We received constant updates on how they were doing and she completely spoiled them with treats, new dog beds, and plenty of toys. We came home to happy babies and our home was well taken care of. If there were any issues with them at all, we were notified immediately and were truly able to enjoy our trip as we knew they were in the best of hands. We had originally toyed with the idea of boarding them, and we are so happy that we opted to keep them at home and under her supervision. We will definitely hang onto her contact information and utilize her in the future when we feel the need to get away for a few days. We cannot possibly think more highly of her and are so thankful for her and the love that she gave to our kids.”

“Jon was great! We received photos of the dogs while he did the drop-in visit. Gave us a couple of updates and was there for the amount of time we paid for. He was flexible when we asked if we could push back the start time of the visit, which we really appreciated and also quick to respond. Thank you Jon!”

“Deborah was great! When she first came to meet my dogs she got right down on the floor with them! I loved that! She had great communication and even sent pictures. I have birds and Deborah didn’t even hesitate to say she would take care of them too! She was amazing. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!!!”

About: In the past couple years been taking care of dogs & cats for friends and coworker when they go out of vacation or a camping trip, they have relied on me to feed, comfort their dogs & cats and make sure they are taken care of in any special way needed, I have been to many puppy classes with my own pup and I have taken care of many dogs & cats of many ages. I recently just moved to the Omaha area, I work typically 8-5 on the weekdays but am available to come before or after work to take care of the animals. I am available weekends for drop in. While not working I enjoy hiking and being outside! Being able to care for a clients pet is so important I would offer to meet the pets before hand and sit with them for a bit understand how they work in there own home so I can get a sense of how they are with a stranger in the house and how I am not a threat. I will be able to sit with them for company and play with them as well whether that is walks or just running in the house.

“Angela was wonderful with our two Shepherds! She asked detailed questions to ensure our dog’s needs were met. It was a relief to know they were in good hands while we were away for the day. ?”
