“Andrea and Edwin were fantastic. Super friendly and so easy to work with. I booked the wrong day with them and they worked with me to get it fixed ASAP. Highly recommend them to watch your fury friends!”


“Very happy I booked with Marisol! I needed a drop-in with only a couple of days notice, and I was nervous about me not having time to do a meet and greet with my nervous pup. She did a great job letting Argos warm up to her, making sure he got some pets and love, and taking him out twice per visit to ensure he did all his business! She was very quick to respond, on-time, and provided a thorough report card. This anxious dog mom is very happy. ☺️”


“Have had absolutely wonderful experiences with Emma! She is reliable, communicative, and treats my dogs like her own. Always come home to happy pups and peace of mind, I couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend! 🐾”


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.

“Lauren did a fabulous job taking care of our mini farm animals. Even our nonsocial barn cat enjoyed her visits! We loved getting daily photos of our happy annimals. We know she cared for them and loved them just as much as we do!”


“Mikayla is awesome! She provided the sweetest care and great updates we have the shy cat who never appears and Mikayla was able to coax her out of her shell for pets and appearances which we appreciated so much! Mikayla also added extra appointments to provide care and it was so kind of her! We will refer Mikayla to all our friends and totally use her again!”


About: As cliche as it sounds, taking care of pets isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds – from snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs of all sizes, to fish and cats, including elderly pets.🐶🐍🐰🐢🐱 I’ve been there for potty training, administering medication, grooming, scheduled feedings, and maintaining teeth hygiene. To me, animals are pure and down-to-earth, and deserve the same respect ❤️ I don’t do this just for the money – I do it because I genuinely care about animals. I’ve heard too many sad stories about boarding pets somewhere, not getting the care they deserve, and the excessive costs involved, and I want to change that. This home is as much theirs as it is mine. I offer a six-foot fully gated yard, big enough for several animals to bask in the sun or play with toys.🌤️ I have several dog beds (and furniture) with enough space to care for your babies. Even the smaller critters or pets that aren’t cats and dogs! I recently used Rover myself and was initially skeptical, worried, and just overall leery about the situation. 😅But it turned out to be a wonderful experience, and now I want others to have the same peace of mind and enjoyment. I want pet owners to feel confident that their animals are in good hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their own vacation, knowing their pets are having a great time too.☺️ And if I could, I’d give myself five out of five stars, rated highly by Forbes ⭐️for providing top notch safety and security to help ease your pet’s separation from you while you’re away. Don’t hesitate to text me on any questions, concerns, or just to chat about your pets. It’s a big decision to make who you can trust your animals with, and I am happy to help 🫶 The question is how do I fit pet care into my routine- but I don’t “fit it” into my routine. I follow my animals routine, and what they need to be their best self. I am make it a priority on managing potty breaks, feedings, treats, and everything in between. It especially helps that I am home most of my days, and wouldn’t mind more company ☺️ It’s not that I just want to “provide care.” I feel like anyone could do that, but it’s more of bonding with that animal. It’s learning their needs, routine, and having patience with them. My goal is for them to not view me as a complete stranger, and more as a good friend to have 💕With that being said- I would love to take your dog on a walk, feed them, grooming, playing, and giving all the love they deserve! If there is good communication and understanding, I would be happy to help with proper medication or medical needs as well 🩷

About: Tim and I are dog and cat lovers. We have had one pet or another all of our lives. We currently have a Chocolate Lab. I take my dog on frequent walks and play with him constantly. We would be available to care for your precious pet on Friday after 5:00 pm and Saturday nights into Sunday evening only at this time. We can do drop offs starting at 5:30 pm on Friday Night and can watch your pet through Sunday evening until 9:00 PM. If necessary we can arrange early morning pick up on Monday morning. I can take your pet on one or more daily walks during their stay. If your pet needs additional exercise I have a large fenced yard for them to run and play. As far as skills, I am able to administer oral medications to your pet if needed. Your precious pet would receive all kinds of love and attention. I am available for boarding and drop in visits Friday after 5:00 pm and on weekends through Sunday. I can arrange for early morning pickup on Monday if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a very energetic dog who will keep your fur baby company. I also have a walking trail near by where we can go for walks.

“Alaina was fabulous! I am so so lucky we found her! Our cat needs medication, including an injection, twice daily. This can be intimidating to take on, but Alaina was so willing to learn and did great with them! Even when it took a little longer than expected she was patient, stuck to it, and persevered. I am so happy that we have her available to us going forward and have already rebooked for next month!”


“Mikaela had stepped in and helped me with letting my two dogs out when I lost my regular person. We had a meet and greet at the dog park before the service began and another one at the house. She is very responsible and reliable, plus the pups love her.”


“Kayla was fantastic. I have an older dog at 12 ½ years old and she has always been an inside dog who stays by my side. I was worried about leaving my dog alone as this was the first time she would be away from me longer than a day but there was nothing to worry about. Kayla sent updates after every visit and let me know how how my dog was doing each time. I would definitely recommend Kayla to watch your pets as she does a great job!”


About: I just recently moved up here to Lincoln, from the small town of Beatrice, and I am currently a student here at Southeast Community College. I am studying to become a school counselor. I have always loved having the company of animals and caring for them. I have experience in caring for both cats and dogs, and will provide them with lots of love in your home or visiting your home. I love engaging with your pets with lots of playing, and if requested, exercise! I know how important it is that animals keep a regular schedule, especially when their loved ones are away. Let me know how I can accommodate their regular routine in any way. I would love to meet you and your pet(s)!

About: I've had puppies, cats, and rabbits. I love animals and have a lot of patience and caring attitude and demeanor. Contact me if you have any questions. I work full time Monday through Friday in the downtown area. My job is flexible so I can make just about any time work for drop-ins or work remotely if needed. I would be open to care for the pets in whichever way the owner prefers or requests. I do not provide in my own home because I have 2 cats.

“Highly recommend Megan! She was kind and patient with my shy cats, took time to meet me beforehand, and made me feel completely comfortable. I’ll definitely book her again!”


About: I’ve taken care of three small dogs before such as a Corgi and two Chihuahuas, and the job consisted of me walking, cleaning, and playing with them! I also have a german Shepard Malinois and i used to have a Basset Hound/Pitbull mix! I also own two adult cats. I’m currently a student athlete at University of Nebraska Omaha, so i’ll have plenty of time to take care of pets and walk dogs as needed! I used to work at Scooters, but now I am focusing more on working with animals as I have more time and am focusing on a career path in the veterinary field! In my home, my dog and two cats get plenty of attention and love as needed! I make sure to go on daily walks with my dog and make sure that she is getting fed, brushed, and played with! I also make sure to give attention to my two cats as well, like brushing them, playing with them and feeding them!

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: Currently, I have a good girl that we rescued. She is about 4 years old, 45lbs. Previously, I cared for my senior toothless blind dog for approximately 8 years. I have also dog-sat and provided drop in care for others off and on. My experience is primarily with medium sized dogs but I'm not hesitant to care for a larger or smaller dog. I have experience giving dogs oral and ear medication. I enjoy taking dogs in my care for walks mostly around their neighborhood. I don't mind cleaning up after "accidents". I am also a Mom to 4 human kids and understand how important furry family members are to all members of your family. Thank you for your consideration. I work for LPS so I have summers off. This is my "summer side hustle". I am looking forward to this while also taking my kids to the pool. I have a large fenced yard and my own very friendly dog to keep yours company. I also have 3 kids at home to help burn off energy. I can also crate your dog, if need be.

About: I have a small pup of my own, who loves walks, many treats and cuddles. Great sitter who can care for all your dogs needs. I’m currently a part time intern so i’ll have lots of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 8. I will be able to feed and walk pups every 4-8 hours and will crate them up when needed. When boarding they will get all the love and action they need. Plus snuggles!
