“Hillary does an amazing job, communicates well, provides lots of information and goes above and beyond. I feel happy knowing my dogs are in good hands when they are with her.”
2. Andrea & Edwin G.
“I have been using Andrea and Edwin for awhile now and they are so wonderful to work with. I usually request them when I have to have my boyfriend’s dog with me for extended days, but they are still sending me pictures of my cat who wasn’t part of the request. They are efficient in communication and flexible in timing and if something comes up. Highly recommend them for your pet needs!”
3. Madison H.
“I highly recommend Madison! She was punctual, reliable, and genuinely care about my dog. My pup got so excited for her arrive for their walk. She provided great updates, including pictures and notes about how the walk went. It's clear that they love what they do and truly understand how to handle dogs with care and patience. I feel confident and at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands!”
4. Jamie S.
About: I have had a pet in my life ever since I was born and I have had a myriad of pets over the course of my life. My pets have included dogs, cats, rodents of all kinds, birds, fish, and reptiles. I have worked and cared for the animals at the Capital Humane Society, Petco (I was also a dog trainer), and Pioneers Park Nature Center. I currently have a house full of dogs of my own and frequently dog sit my grandpuppies whenever my daughter and son-in-law need me to do so. I have also recently taken an interest in dog grooming, but I am still learning. Currently I am a stay-at-home-mom and all of my kiddos are in school full time, so my schedule is fairly flexible. The only parts of my schedule not flexible are school drop-off and pick up. Occasionally I have to help care for my 94-yo grandmother when my aunt is unavailable to do so, but that is not often. I care for pets in the manner requested by their owners, but I also like to spend time with each animal and make a connection with them. Getting to know a pet's personality helps me provide the best care outside of the basics. I am always happy to take pictures and/or video as requested by the owners as well.

6. Ella M.
“Ella is amazing! Lola adores her. She is prompt and always sends me photos and details from the walk. It is such a weight off of my mind knowing Lola is taken care of while I’m gone at work.”
7. Megan P.
“Megan did amazing with my pup!”
8. Nate D.
“Nate was superb! My pug, Moss, took to him right away, and Nate knew all the ways to pet him and become friends. Moss was soon running to the door when he knew Nate had come! I couldn't have been happier with any other dog walker!”
9. Ashley G.
“Ashley has been so helpful in caring for my dog! She takes it on walks and runs all the time. I would definitely recommend her as a caregiver.”
10. Caleb B.
About: Hi there! I’m Caleb, and I’ve been working with animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm, I had the pleasure of caring for everything from horses to dogs, and that’s where my love for animals began. Since then, I’ve worked in animal refuges and dog care facilities, and today, I’m proud to run my own pet care business in Lincoln, Nebraska. I believe every dog deserves the best care, no matter their breed, size, or personality—My approach is all about providing personalized, loving care that supports each dog's emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Whether your pup needs a walk during your long workday, an overnight stay, or just a quick check-in, you can rest easy knowing they’re in great hands. I also live by a “No Dog Left Behind” policy, meaning I never turn away dogs for any reason—every dog is welcome with me, from the shy and anxious to the high-energy and excitable. Plus, I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible scheduling to meet your needs. When you trust me with your furry friend, you’re not just getting a dog walker or sitter—you’re getting someone who genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. I’m excited to meet you and your pup, and I can’t wait to provide the care they deserve! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a meet-and-greet. I am currently working from home, and pet care takes the priority in my daily routine. With daily visits to the park and weekly home grooming for my dogs, pet care is my passion. I have an apartment with 2 separate rooms dedicated towards doggie space. One room for eating/grooming/ and for more sensitive dogs to play/have a break. The other room is a more generalized play room for well socialized dogs who want to play. I have 2 well trained, friendly dogs who love meeting new friends and will keep your baby happy and entertained.
11. Emma H.
“Emma is just GREAT! I had hip replacement surgery and wasn't sure when I would be able to walk the boys myself. She was very accommodating with me adding weeks until I felt I could do it myself. The boys absolutely adore her. She communicates very well about things that happen on the walks. I highly recommend Emma and will have her walk the boys when needed again.”
12. Justin H.
“Justin is a great guy. He loves animals. He has a beautiful family including 2 fur babies of their own. He is reliable and dependable. He will be a great addition to Rover! Thank you”
13. Anna K.
“My dog really likes Anna! She is a kind person and is punctual for walks. We will use her services again!”
14. Becca L.
“Becca is such a caring and natural animal lover. She took great care of my 2 boys, Charlie and Leo. I would highly recommend and will be using her services again with how comfortable they were around her.”
15. Levi R.
“I have had Levi watch my dogs multiple times and have always trusted him to keep them safe and happy. My dogs got along with him extremely quick even my dog who is timid around males! He has always respected my wishes and concerns when it comes to my dogs. I appreciate his care so much and I believe you will too.”
16. Amy J.
“Amy did a fabulous job with great detail!”
17. Mckenna W.
About: I have had multiple family dogs growing up and now my husband and I have are own black lab, Ava. In high school I worked part-time at a vet clinic where I was responsible for feeding, grooming and caring for the pets we served. I'm currently working part-time and am in need of more hours. I have a lot of down time to play and walk your pups! My weekends are always free to house sit your fur baby. My family teases me that I am the meme on the internet about dogs with moms in their twenties live the most spoiled life. I will be sure to treat your pup with just as much love and attention. I will ensure to follow all directions given to take the best care of your animal. I will resect your home and keep it clean when fulfilling my responsibilities. I will always use a leash to walk your pup for everyone's safety.
18. Hannah P.
“I have had her watch my dogs many times and she loves and cares for them as her own. I would have no problem with her taking care of them again.”
19. Roger A.
“Having Roger stop by to give Smudge a break was a great decision! He was very willing to meet up beforehand to make sure it would be a good fit. I appreciated his details in letting me know how things went. I will definitely be using his excellent service again! It puts my mind at peace to know my pup can get out on a nice day.”
20. Morgan E.
“I’ve asked Morgan to cat sit for me on numerous occasions when i’ve been out of town and she’s been nothing short of attentive, responsible, and great with my two cats. Whenever i’m out of town, Morgan keeps me updated which speaks to her sense of responsibility and also allows me to not stress over the wellbeing of my cats when I am gone. She is kind and gentle with pets and respects all boundaries put up whether by the owner or the animal. Overall, Morgan is the best choice when it comes to trusting someone to watch over your furry friend.”
