Pet Sitting Fort Calhoun

About: Hi there! My spouse and I are lifelong dog lovers who have been surrounded by pups since childhood. Between the two of us, we've grown up with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and personalities. We have six dogs of our own, and we also volunteer as fosters for a local dog rescue. We’re comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from playful puppies to big couch-loving seniors. Whether your dog is active and energetic or prefers a quieter routine, we’re happy to accommodate their needs with love, patience, and plenty of attention. Our home is full of dog-friendly energy, and we treat every dog like family. You can feel confident knowing your pup will be in caring and capable hands while you're away! Whether we’re caring for our own pack or welcoming a guest pup, we maintain a calm, structured environment with lots of love and consistency. Because we’re already on a dog-focused schedule, it’s easy for us to adapt to each dog’s unique needs—whether that means early morning walks, medication reminders, or just extra snuggle time. When caring for dogs in their own home, we prioritize consistency and comfort. We maintain your dog’s normal schedule—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications—so they feel secure and stress-free while you're away. We treat your home with the utmost respect and keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. In our home, your dog becomes part of the family. With five of our own friendly, well-socialized dogs and plenty of experience as fosters for a local rescue, we provide a warm, dog-savvy environment where pups feel safe, stimulated, and loved. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with space to play, lounge, and rest—whether your pup prefers fetch in the yard or a cozy nap on the couch. We follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication (if needed), and preferred activities. We welcome all breeds and sizes, and we’re especially experienced with multi-dog dynamics. Whether your dog is social or needs more one-on-one attention, we adjust accordingly to ensure they’re comfortable and happy.

“Raina was an amazing cat sitter! When my apartment building gave us the incorrect key for her to enter the building, she was so patient and made sure my fur babies still were fed that day. She’s phenomenal!”

About: I've house sat and pet sat for family and friends since my youth as favors. Most pets tend to warm to me fairly quickly and let me carry them or pet them on the first meeting. My professional career is focused in child care and development. I've worked with 5-18 years old in various positions. My last position was teaching and caring for teenage youth, who were transitioning from incarceration to their parent's home, at a group home. I am used to dealing with crisis under pressure with a calm demeanor and resolving it to the best of my ability. I am CPR and First Aid trained and certified in non-violent crisis management. I am currently available for all the services I specified in my profile Monday through Friday from as early as 10 am - 7 pm. I am also available for overnight house sitting jobs. While house sitting, I take safety/health of the pets and security of the surrounding area as the #1 priority. When I took care of my pets and others i. My own space, I'd block off any areas in the home that could be damaged or cause injury, if a pet got into it. I always made sure to engage with the pets I cared for, whether, playing fetch or running around with them. I made sure they expended that seemingly bottomless tank of energy.

“Meagan was a great sitter with our two pups. She connected with them immediately and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Meagan also maintained good communication with us whole she was pet sitting. We would definitely recommend her to others.”

About: I have helped dog sit and take care of many different kinds of dogs with my friends and I am looking into getting into it myself! I am currently in school from 9:30 to 12:30 and working about 20 hrs a week, so I have plenty of time to check up on your pets throughout the day! While I live in an apartment as a student and am unable to provide care in my own home, I'm willing to follow any directions provided to me to insure the safety and happiness of your pets.

“Kristi is great and spent so much time with my kitty. She played with him a bunch and gave him all the snuggles he wanted. 10/10 and will be using her service again!”

About: Animals happiness is a fundamental principle that I feel strongly about. This made growing up with and caring for all animals my favorite part of each day! I would love to give your pet you call family a break from their long days of sleeping in. My experience includes living with and pet sitting for dogs of all ages and sizes. Before becoming a pet sitter, I had only owned a cat, but have experienced the joys of all cats personality’s. I’m currently a Junior in college at UNO and have a professional level of experience scheduling around my classes and previously a demanding sport. A part time, high activity, and flexible routine is my cup of tea! My most convenient times are early afternoons and whenever works best for you. I have well rounded experience in feeding pets, cleaning their toilet activities, and taking them on walks and runs. I currently call a black cat, jack Russell terroir, Weimaraner, blonde wiener dog and chickens my family!

About: As a healthcare worker, I have seen firsthand how healing animals can be. I have taken care of many different animals! I love spending time with pups and taking them for walks or to run errands. I have watched dogs/cats/rabbits/etc. since I was in middle school, and am super attentive! I currently do not have any dogs/cats, but I do have a 7 year old rabbit named Vito who is my whole world. I am currently a nursing student/CNA so my schedule allows flexibility for pet care. I am open to shorts visits, drop ins, pet hang outs, etc. I care for pets in my clients home by being attentive, loving, playful, and responsible! I provide the same care to other pets, as I do my own.

About: My name is Claire and I am a PA student at Creighton University! I am 26 and moved from Steamboat Springs, CO where I watched many furry friends through Rover and absolutely loved doing it! I am originally from Chicago and love doing anything outdoors such as skiing and running, but also love ending the day nice and cozy watching a movie or reading a book. More importantly, I love dogs of all ages and would love to care for your awesome dog! I had a labradoodle for 15 years growing up whom I adored and sadly cannot have a dog of my own at this stage of my life, but am looking for a buddy to care for to get my fix! I am responsible, organized, and easy going. I will provide very good care of your pet and give lots of pets, walks/runs, and love! I am free to answer all questions about scheduling and flexibility. I hope to hear from you soon! Your dog needs a good buddy while you are away and I really hope that person is me! I am a full time student in Omaha, but have lots of breaks throughout the day to give your pet lots of love! While school will be hectic, you can be assured that I will take your pet on a lot of exercise when I am home (If they are up for it) as it is a great break for me in my studies. I will feed, walk, and play with your pets! I love animals and live in a pet-friendly area where I have easy access to walking/running trails.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses through both personal ownership and my work in veterinary medicine. I am a veterinary assistant and am enrolled in a veterinary technician program, giving me experience with animal behavior, health monitoring, medication administration, and handling pets of all ages and temperaments. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or providing extra attention and comfort while you’re away, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My veterinary background allows me to recognize signs of illness or discomfort and provide an extra level of care and peace of mind for pet owners. I currently have a flexible availability and can dedicate my time to providing reliable, attentive care for your pets. This allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, and ensure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention.

“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”

“Kai was a great sitter for our baby Pebble (cat)! We came back home after a 6ish day trip and everything felt even more in order than we had left it. Pebble had an upset stomach and Kai was great about communicating how he was doing and making sure Pebble was well cared for when he was here as well as recommending remedies and health care we could try when we got back from our trip. When our automatic litter box got jammed, Kai was proactive about noticing that and even replaced the whole litter bag for us. Offers great communication such as photos and a summary of how each visit went. We will be thrilled going forward to use Kai if we ever need to go out of town.”
