“Eric did a great job with our dog, Baxter! He was on time, sent us photos and was easy to communicate with. This was our first time using Rover and Eric made it easy! Will definitely be using Eric again! Thank you!!”
“Amanda is great! She is incredibly nice and my dog immediately liked her, I feel completely at ease with her caring for him. She is experienced, clearly loves dogs and took excellent care of mine. I will definitely hire Amanda again.”
About: I have experience with deaf, senior and reactive dogs as well as cats. I fostered and trained for Blue River Pet Rescue and have taken dog safety courses with Nebraska Humane Society. I know what it's like to have a scared or sick dog and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them when you can't. I am no stranger to a special needs dog and I want to be that person for you and your pet when you need me. My own dog, who passed in April 2025, had CHF and I could barely stand to let him out of my sight. I was lucky that the people who fostered him offered to watch him when needed. Without them, I'm not sure how I would've found someone I could really trust to be patient and kind to him. Now that he's gone, I want to be able to be that person for others. I work completely remote, so I am always home, giving me a great opportunity to care for special needs animals or just animals in general. I work Mon-Fri, 12-8 and weekends are usually free. I live close to a dog park that I took my previous foster to every day and have a nice neighborhood for walks. I have a yard (not fully fenced in) with a tie out leash, though I go outside often and would never leave your pet alone. I got the tie out recently for my foster to help her with separation anxiety but would walk around the yard and area with my own dog for a few minutes every hour or so. I have lots of toys and keep a pet water fountain running at all times. I keep a couple of dog beds throughout the house, so there is always somewhere soft and comfortable to lay down, whether they want to stay close by or would prefer some space. My house is their house while they're here. Besides the trash cans, they are welcome to explore.
“Kristin made my trip stress free because I didn't have to worry about if my dogs were okay or not. She's great! And the dogs love her. Anytime I'm out of town, she'll be the one I go to! Highly recommend!”
“Kayla was amazing at taking care of our two cats! She sent lots of photos. When we got back home our two cats didn’t seem to be too angry we were gone, which goes to show how much love Kayla was able to give them during her visits.”
“Kathi was wonderful with my two dogs! She was flexible and provided pictures and updates while I was away. I would feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care in the future!”
“Okami, Lily and Zeke, as well as our whole family, thank Kylie so much for her great care while we were gone! She was very punctual and communicated well. Our fur family didn't seem stressed by our being gone because they were very comfortable with Kylie. We will definitely seek to have her take of them on future times away!”
About: Since a little girl, I’ve loved every animal. All breeds and all sizes. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life because who can live without, right?! I grew up around 3 eskimos, a samoyed, a poodle, a jack russell terrier, 6 hamsters, and 4 cats! Now I currently have two lovely girls. A 3 year old husky mix and an american eskimo. Myself and my family cared for our sweet 8 pound american eskimo until he passed at 13, he joined our family at months old as “a project, not a pet”, and he sure trooped it out despite the many struggles he came with as a puppy mill rescue I work on the weekends at my part-time job. Aside from weekends, I am available all weekdays except for occasional appointments between 11am and 3pm! I have two very sweet girls 25lbs and 60lbs who have had lots of encounters with smaller dogs and are very gentle. I make sure meals are fed on time and exercise is always included!!
About: I grew up in a home for rescues and have loved every pet. I adore caring for animals. I'm 19, but have trained almost every dog (out of 7) that I've had. I am extremely flexible, if I have about a day or two notice, I can do just about anything your fur baby needs me for. I would not offer services in my home due to a shy pet of my own. I will, however, groom, take on walks, take to their appointments, let outside, or generally care for your pet from your home.
About: Hello, my name is Tracy and I'm a total dog person! Although I can't have a furry friend at home due to my living situation, I volunteer as a dog walker at the local capital humane society here in town. I've had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to massive Great Danes! There's nothing better than seeing their tails wag and spoiling them with pets and treats. My dream is to own a large piece of land where I can provide a forever home for senior and handicapped animals. Until then, I'll continue to volunteer and do my part to help these amazing companions! I currently work full time and have a part time job on top of that i also volunteer 1 day a week at the capital humane society as a dog walker! i enjoy taking walks around the park and or neighborhood, after our long walk then we would go to the dog park and meet all our other furry friends!
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!
About: Both Garth and Tracy come from "dog families" where dogs are allowed on furniture, come to family functions, and get together with other family dogs regularly. We both have experience with all types of dogs since we were in middle school. Our dog, Zeke, loves company and is friendly to everyone. We can't wait to meet more furry friends. :) One or both of us is home daily during the summer, making it easy for us to drop in to your home or for bringing your dog(s) to our place for the day and/or night. With our family near, we don't travel often, so we'll have plenty of availability during the summer and on weekends throughout the year. We'll work with you on your preference for care. If you'd like them inside, outside, taken on walks, fed treats or medications on certain intervals, we are happy to oblige. We have a fenced yard and one 6-year old dog who matches the vibe of visiting dogs. High or low energy or something in-between, Zeke (and we) are up for anything!
“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”
About: I’ve owned dogs of all sizes from yorkies to Saint Bernards! We’ve also had a range of other animals over the years. One of my saint’s was a licensed therapy dog and I’ve worked with them all! I stay at home full time during the week and am able to be available very often for your pets needs! I have older children that are also great helpers and animal lovers I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs who are used to having other dogs visit us frequently! In a very safe neighborhood you can trust we will keep your pets safe
“Jessica did so awesome with taking care of my 9 month old puppy with drop in visits! She played with her and took her on walks even when it was chilly outside. She was also willing to put diapers on her which wasn’t an easy task! My pup loved having her come play and will miss her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 12. I was always first the person my extended family would ask to watch their pets whenever they went on a vacation or needed extra help. I am most familiar with hunting/sporting breeds, but I am open to meeting all kinds of dogs! I am currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty open. I will be available Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, as well as some evenings. I am more than willing to come over to help let your pup out, feed them, play with them, and help assist with any other tasks if needed. I am a fairly active person and I enjoy going on long walks with my dog, Remy, and hopefully in the future your dog as well!
“Naomi did a great job taking care of our cats (in our home) while we were away. They looked happy in the report cards, and everything is in order in the house. I would definitely recommend her, and will book her again for our next trip if she is available.”
About: Hello, my name is Lila. I am a 19 year old girl who has been surrounded by animals my whole life! I’ve been trusted for 5 years to watch friends and neighbors pets and have cared for many different species including but not limited to dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians and more! I will be there for your pets whether they need a potty break or a play pal. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) Im available to watch your pets on week days and can provide pet care for weekends with atleast a weeks notice. I have plenty of time for drop in visits or planned extended visits! Contact me with any questions or concerns and I’ll happily work something out. I do NOT provide care for your pet in my house but will stop by your home as many times as needed to provide fresh water, food and a clean environment, administering medication and of course provide play time! I will always make sure your pets are safe in your home before leaving.

Elizabeth R.

Garth & Tracy L.
“Garth & Tracy are the absolute best, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the way they’ve cared for our sweet Eliza! She’s a big, lovable Newfoundland, and they welcomed her into their home like she was one of their own. Over multiple weekends, they have consistently gone above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable. They've helped us by doing drop-in visits to overnight stays at their home, they've been incredibly flexible and reliable. From those quiet moments Eliza loves to nap, to the playtime in their beautiful, fenced-in backyard, they paid attention to every detail of her routine. We received updates and photos, which made being away so much easier knowing she was in great hands. Eliza absolutely adores them, and honestly, I think she views their home as her second one now!”
