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 five 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.

“Jessica & Matthew were warm and friendly, kept to the schedule I suggested faithfully, and even did a couple non-pet related tasks that I forgot before I left town (so grateful for that). Not to mention, my dogs were in LOVE! I will absolutely be reaching out again for future pet sitting needs.”

“Marc was exactly what we needed! As soon as Bailey saw him, she connected with him and it was such a heartwarming moment for me. Marc was gentle, but confident, attentive, while allowing Bailey to feel her way through our first meeting. And Marc helped put me at ease as well. All in all, it was a very positive experience. I’m grateful to have found Marc and will definitely be using him in the future.”

“Brooks was able to bond with our dogs who are "iffy" about strangers. He was very attentive to their needs and was a great communicator during our time away. Not to mention that he is a 5⭐ pet photographer! We are already rebooking him for our next trip!”

“Alexis continues to take such care with our elderly cat! She was especially thoughtful this last trip when we were especially anxious about leaving after our other cat passed away 😢 She sent the cutest pictures, detailed updates and was kind, compassionate and flexible. We came home to a well taken care of little guy and will definitely be booking with Alexis again ❤️”

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.

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.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have experience with a wide range of animals—from energetic puppies and senior dogs to cats and even bottle-fed kittens that need extra patience and attention. My background also includes caring for farm animals such as calves and horses, along with birds, pigeons, and reptiles. Whether it’s feeding schedules, special care needs, or simply making sure animals feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, I take pride in providing dependable and attentive care. From tiny paws to big hooves, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m available for overnight pet sitting and weekend care, as well as morning and evening visits during the week. I provide dependable, attentive care to keep your pets comfortable while you’re away.” I provide loving, dependable care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. I respect your routines and guidelines and make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.”

About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.

About: I have owned and trained my own stranger and dog reactive rescue for the past 2 years. I know how hard it can be to go on vacation because finding a babysitter with experience is hard. Working slowly and gaining trust is key and knowing triggers is essential in being sure that the dog can be managed properly while the owner is away. I've worked with trainers and read extensively on reactive dogs, so I understand how important it is to manage your dog's stress and be consistent with training. Therefore, any training regimens would be kept. I've worked with puppies, helping train friend's puppies so that their new furry friends can experience the world through a positive lens. I've done nail trims as long as the dog is willing, ear cleanings, and given pills or vitamins. I find it essential for owners to be able to go on vacation or out of town and not have to worry about their dogs. Therefore, any updates, pictures, etc will be given freely. I currently work full-time but have full availability Sunday and Mondays and can always do drop ins before and after work. I will be sure to not sure drop in for a few minutes to feed but to play and interact with your animals to ensure their needs are met and they can nap. I understand safety and management for animals inside and outside the home. Ensuring no food eaten is left out or other endangerments are all securing put away. Enrichment and mental stimulation help keep animals calm while their owners are away and keeps them feel tired so they get the sleep that they need! Therefore, play time, mentally stimulating games, and walks would be a main focus to keep your pet feeling fulfilled till your happy return!
