Ella is wonderful! She has been dropping in on our cats for almost two years. We travel quite a bit and it is nice to know that we can leave without worrying about the cats. She sends an update everyday with pictures. I highly recommend Ella.

Kirstin did a great job with my pups. One of mine is very skittish and takes a little extra attention and Kirstin was able to connect with her and make things less stressful for her. All 3 of mine are senior dogs with distinct personalities and she tailored her interactions with each to give them what they need. And the pictures were great! I will definitely use her again.

About: I had 3 dogs growing up, which I helped take care of, and since moving away, I dog sit for my friends and family, so I have had a lot of experience with dogs for my whole life! I currently work as a real estate agent, which allows me to have a pretty flexible schedule 7 days a week. I can easily fit sitting/walks into my daily routine. I can’t currently hold pets in my apartment, but caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all directions given, and I am very good about keeping everything as is!

About: Experienced dog owner who would love the opportunity to watch your pets. Let me take the stress out of leaving your pet behind while you're away. Fenced in back yard and willing to play fetch or walk to your dogs content. I work full time out of my home office. I would be available to let dogs out as needed or travel to your house to walk your dog or let them out to potty and play. I have a fenced in yard and experience walking dogs. I will spend time outside with your dog to play fetch or just enjoy a shady spot in the yard to relax. Dogs don't need to be kenneled at night unless they are crate trained to do so.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my home since I was 6 years old. I love caring for them and providing them the best life! I genuinely love animals and I want to ensure fellow pet parents have someone they can trust to care for their pets while they’re away. I have fostered several dogs and ‘babysat’ dogs and cats off and on most of my life! I would be happy to take care of your pup or cat! I am recently graduated from a Master’s program and now working full-time at UNL. My schedule is flexible outside of working hours (8:30-4:30)- evenings and weekends! I would love to stop in to check on your dog or cat, take them for walks, play, stay at their home with them, etc! I have the utmost respect for everyone’s spaces and promise to leave them better than I found them while caring for your pet! Your pets and you both deserve a safe and healthy environment!

About: Animals often make more sense to me than humans do! I’ve always loved caring for pets, whether they be my own or someone else’s. I’ve done countless petsitting jobs through friends and community members over my life. In the same way as we should with humans, it is important to be present and aware when working with any animal. Each pet is unique and I truly enjoy getting the opportunity to learn about what makes each one feel safe, loved, and healthy. I also understand how important it is to establish a positive, trusting relationship as soon as possible, especially with dogs, so they can feel secure despite the disruption of their “pack”. Every pet is a precious part of someone’s family. So, as much as I love getting to know each pet and providing you with assurance your loved one is well taken care of, it’s even better to know the care I provide is ensuring a joyful reunion when you return! My full-time work is landscaping, so in the winter months I have a lot of flexibility to offer services throughout the week and during the holidays. A pet’s whole world is their home, so I treat that environment with deep respect. I am their guest as well as their sitter! Therefore, I try to match the energy they are used to. Also, I understand the importance of maintaining as much of your pets routine as possible.

Reagan is honestly the greatest. Prompt, a good communicator, extremely kind, and very accommodating are just some of the things I love about her. When she stayed overnight in my home she left it cleaner than I did! I have many pets and she followed all directions perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for everything, Reagan ♥️ hope to see you soon!
