“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.”


“This was my first time using rover.com. I’m really really happy with the whole process. I especially appreciated her checking in when she got to my house and started the walk and the updates along the way. My dogs are kind of nervous, but she handled them well. I liked getting pictures too. The only thing I didn’t know is that you paid when you booked, which makes total sense. I don’t know if I just missed it in the instructions or what. I definitely plan on working with Hilary in the future.”


“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!”


About: Ive taken care of animals since before I can remember. All pets are given all the love I have to offer. I’m very gentle with older pets and always do my best to make sure they’re comfortable and pampered. I've got more free time on my hands than I know what to do with; so it would be no problem at all to take care of your pets! I make sure pets get regularly taken out, as well as making sure they’re happy and fed. I also get a little silly and play with them for hours!

“Alicia was great. She always showed up on time, was responsive, and even helped bring a heavy package inside for me. Our dog was always very happy to see her. Highly recommend.”


“Ashley & Kyle are amazing!! When I’m home and they help walk Pepper, she looks so happy when she returns. I’m grateful I have their help to get my dog exercise and make her happy.”


About: My name is Marisol, and I am a Pre-Medicine student at UNL. I am a lifelong animal lover with over 6 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I worked at a veterinary clinic for about 5 years, and I continue to volunteer at pet shelters in my spare time. My boyfriend and I work together to make sure we provide the best service for all pets. Whether it's a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior needing medication, we tailor our care to meet the needs of each unique pet. I also don’t mind traveling around Lincoln, as long as it is within 20 minutes from my place! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I work a flexible schedule and truly love spending time with dogs and cats. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet boarding, and doggy daycare mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I will be starting school again at the end of August, but I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and keep them happy and comfortable. My home is smoke-free, clean, and pet-friendly. I provide safe indoor and outdoor spaces for play, plus toys, treats, and cozy resting areas. I also have multiple crates available if needed. I share my home with two small, friendly dogs and three loving cats who love making new friends, but I can also keep pets separate for shy dogs, senior pets, or special needs pets. I’m comfortable with puppy care, senior dog care, and administering oral medication.

“I couldn't be happier with Mikaela. She treats my girl like her own. The peace of mind I have knowing she's coming by to spend time with Ann is priceless. I plan to recommend her to everyone I know in need of these services. She even gave her special treatment on Anns birthday 😍”


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: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm so I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and I absolutely adore them! I have tons of animal experience outside of growing up on a farm such as dog sitting, kennel work, and veterinary assisting. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln but with my schedule I should have plenty of time in the afternoons to check in on your pets. I’m also free on most weekends to stop by whenever you need. I can easily adapt to whatever rules and/or expectations you have. I can crate or kennels dogs, take them outside, take them on walks, play with them, feed and water them, etc.

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)!

“Jamie went above and beyond to help us begin to train our new puppy to walk loose leash in the back yard, which was such a welcome support—he was making progress within one week! Highly recommend.”


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 grew up with pets my whole life. My family and friends have relied on me walk, feed, and house/dog sit when they are unavailable. My dog MJ, who passed in 2020, made one of the biggest impacts in my life, and if I can give more care and love to animals it would be very fulfilling. I am comfortable around pets of all ages, and will cater to each animals needs. It is always my aim to adore your pet as much as you do! My job is mostly remote and I do make my own schedule. So I will be able to easily cater to your pet care needs. I will respect your pets boundaries and cater to their needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved. All pets are different, and require different ways of caring for.

About: As a kid, I relentlessly begged my parents for a dog, but we compromised with two cats instead:) But the moment I moved out, I got a dog of my own! Since then, I’ve adopted two more dogs and two cats, as well as assisting with fostering and rescues of all types of animals:) I have a very flexible part time job, which allows me to work around your fur-baby’s needs! Whether it’s going out on an adventure or spending some quality playing indoors, I’m down! I’m happy to meet you where you’re at as my home is currently fully, furry filled to the brim!:) Would definitely be open to taking puppers for sleepover’s in the future!

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.

“Kelsey was outstanding! She was on time, attentive and took the time to interact with Beau. We received pictures and a narrative of their time together. I would definitely recommend her to others and would use her again without question.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own family dogs and dog and watched for friends and families. I am a college student who is trying to make some extra cash with her own one year old Dalmatian! I am available on weekends any time of day and mornings during the week day between 8-11am and then after 6pm on week days as well! I would like you to know I will care for your pet like my own. Meeting there exercise needs, keeping them safe on walks and comfortable when staying in my home

She has cared/dog sat for many family and friends pets over the years and she loved working hands on with both small and large animals at 2 vet clinics the last two years.
