“Both kitties seemed to be unfazed by my absence, which speaks to Ashley's care and attention. I really appreciated the pics too! I am very grateful to have found someone that I can rely on while away from home.”


“Kayla was great with Blue, who can be a handful. She played with Blue and took great care of her while we were gone. And Blue was exhausted after she left. Which is the best!!”


About: I have taken care of all animals of many different sizes since I was very young. I love all animals and would be happy to help you out with yours! I also work at a vet clinic and have lots of experience. I am currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am free nights and weekends as well. I have a very large backyard and a very friendly dog at my house. It is a very pet friendly house with two cats as well.

“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.”


“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!”


“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!”


“Bonded quickly with our dog. Very responsible and trustworthy. Kindra stayed at our house for almost 2 weeks and sent us daily updates and pictures. She was awesome and plan to use her again later in the year!”


“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.”


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!

“Devlin was fantastic with my dogs. Both my dogs are a little high maintenece as one is elderly and the other has high anxiety. The dogs responded well to him and he spent a lot of time with them, which is key for our doggies. We’ve already rebooked him for our next trip!!”


“Alaina was so responsible with our pups and house! Very good with communication and Shari g pics of the pups while we were away! She went above and beyond! So appreciated everything!!”


About: I have been in the pet industry since 2020 & have watched many dogs/cats over the years as well as reptiles. I love seeing how excited dogs get to see you & when a cat comes out of their hiding spot to eat their dinner! I have 3 cats of my own currently & had family dogs growing up but my apartment isn’t a good size for a dog right now. I currently have a job that varies on hours throughout the week but I am available most mornings/nights to take them out to the bathroom & provide food/water. I can also do dog walking almost every day of the week. I currently have 3 cats & they get wet food/dry daily and are also provided a clean water fountain that is replenished daily. I play with them as much as I can every day & they have a huge multi-level cat tree that they love so much.

About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Canada. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.

About: My name is Marisol, and I am a Pre-Medicine student at UNL. I am a lifelong animal lover with over 6 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I worked at a veterinary clinic for about 5 years, and I continue to volunteer at pet shelters in my spare time. My boyfriend and I work together to make sure we provide the best service for all pets. Whether it's a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior needing medication, we tailor our care to meet the needs of each unique pet. I also don’t mind traveling around Lincoln, as long as it is within 20 minutes from my place! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work a flexible schedule and truly love spending time with dogs and cats. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet boarding, and doggy daycare mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I will be starting school again at the end of August, but I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and keep them happy and comfortable. My home is smoke-free, clean, and pet-friendly. I provide safe indoor and outdoor spaces for play, plus toys, treats, and cozy resting areas. I also have multiple crates available if needed. I share my home with two small, friendly dogs and three loving cats who love making new friends, but I can also keep pets separate for shy dogs, senior pets, or special needs pets. I’m comfortable with puppy care, senior dog care, and administering oral medication.
