Dog Walking in Highlands, Lincoln, NE

About: I grew up in a home for rescues and have loved every pet. I adore caring for animals. I'm 19, but have trained almost every dog (out of 7) that I've had. I am extremely flexible, if I have about a day or two notice, I can do just about anything your fur baby needs me for. I would not offer services in my home due to a shy pet of my own. I will, however, groom, take on walks, take to their appointments, let outside, or generally care for your pet from your home.

“Mikaela is very personable and friendly! I trust her entirely with my pup; you can tell she really cares about dogs of all kinds. Also, she is reliable and coordinates if she has a change in schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“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.”

“Kynnedy was a great choice for our boy! She took pics and showed up on time. She was not hesitant to take care of our Pitskie last minute for a walk on a holiday weekend and her rate was a plus. We saw her photos and knew she would be a great pick for our breed, being a larger dog others tend to stray away but she said yes. She even offered to fill his water ❤️”

“Ashley & Kyle are really amazing! They go the extra mile to make your dog feel comfortable and take the time to get to know everything about your dog so they can provide them with the best walks. If you’re dog has anxiety like mine does they did so wonderful with him and made him comfortable so that he was actually excited to go on walks with them :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs as long as I can remember. I always had 4 or more dogs growing up and my family owns a doggy day care/boarding center back at home in Colorado!! I am a full time student at UNL but only have classes Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday for a short amount of time in the morning. I am especially free Wednesdays and Fridays! So I am free fairly often. I work too, but only a couple times a week in the evening and my schedule changes! Feel free to reach out as my schedule changes often! I will care for your dog based of your instructions! I will be very respectful of your house of course and do exactly as you say !

“Great communication and care!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, having grown up on a farm where caring for them was part of everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior and the importance of patience, consistency, and kindness. Over the years, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats, both my own and those belonging to friends and family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I take pride in creating a safe and loving environment for every pet. My background has taught me to adapt to each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic puppies to calm senior pets, I ensure every furry friend receives the attention, affection, and reliability they deserve. I work a standard 8–5 p.m. schedule Monday through Friday, but my mornings, evenings, and weekends are wide open for pet care. I love starting or ending my day with walks, playtime, and some quality time with furry friends — it’s the best part of my routine! I’m reliable, communicative, and always make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need, no matter what time of day. Whether it’s an evening walk, weekend stay, or a quick drop-in visit, I’m happy to make it work for you and your pets. When caring for pets, my top priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free — whether I’m in my home or yours. In your home, I make sure pets stay in their normal environment and routine, with plenty of love, play, and supervision. I pay close attention to details like feeding instructions, leash safety, and any special needs or medications. If pets are with me, they’ll enjoy a calm, loving atmosphere with lots of attention and affection. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and respect. You can always expect regular updates, photos, and open communication so you feel completely at ease while you’re away.

“She is easy to work with and shows up when she agrees to. My dog is happy to see her when she arrives and is so much calmer after a good walk with Kristin. This has been so helpful after back surgery. My pup is very customer.”

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: I care for your pets like they’re my own. Patience and safety and super important to me. I have experience with puppies, senior pets and administering medications, so I know how to adjust care for every age and personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks or cozy cuddles. I make sure your pet feels happy, secure and right at home. My goal is simple: fun, safe and stress-free care for your furry family! I currently work from home full time! Which is good news for you because that means I can periodically check up on your furry friend through out the day or if need be I can pack up and work from your house! Typically I end work around 4 p.m. Monday- Friday. I also am open to weekend activities! Working in whatever environment to make the pet feel at peace while their owners are away is super important to me. Mostly, staying with them and watching if anything abnormal is happening. Communication is also key, so taking photos of their day to ensure a safe and enjoyable time is vital.

About: Ever since I could remember I’ve had no less than 6 pets in my home. Growing up i’ve already assumed the role of pet care taker. When I was little I used to sleep on the floor with my old german shorthair when storms came so he had a buddy to be with. Moving forward, I recently moved to Lincoln as a UNL student and my space couldn’t fit all pets back home. I believe pets are truly a joyous blessing, and sitting would not only ease the mind of the owner, but allow small pockets of joy throughout my week/weekend! Pet sitting fits into my daily routine because my academic day starts around 9:30am MWF and I have multiple lunch breaks. During the time I am in the research lab, there are 2hour breaks that I am available to stop by a home and give some pets and love as well as potty breaks. What’s most beneficial is that my days end around 3:30pm. If the owner wants to get drinks after work, relax, shop, I am available every night to pet sit and potty. Weekends are very open before and after church on Sundays when my family goes on vacation, it is super important to us who watches our animals –we treat maybe better than we treat ourselves. Som qualities I bring while pet sitting is alert attention -one of my cats passed away while we were away and our pet sitter was alert and kept us up to date to entire time, i would like to reciprocate that kindness– constant love and affection, respect for boundaries in the home and those shown by the pet–i am here to be helpful so respect all around is a 100% guarantee!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been responsible for their care since I was 13. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and providing daily care. I’ve also worked with dogs during therapy training, helping reinforce commands and enhance their training. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and prioritize safety, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy building trust with both dogs and their owners. I’m a full time student but only have one fifty minute class during the afternoon. I would be available all throughout the day outside of that fifty minute period and completely available on weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines and instructions closely so pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide daily care such as feeding, walking, fresh water, bathing as needed, and playtime. I ensure leash safety on walks, keep the home and pet areas clean, and monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels for any changes. I use positive reinforcement, reinforce any training or commands the owner is working on, and give pets plenty of attention and affection while maintaining a calm, safe environment. I also respect my clients’ homes and communicate updates as needed.

About: I’ve worked for a company called wag for about a year now so I have experience with walks, boarding, sitting, etc. My experience combined with my passion for this kind of work and huge love of animals sets me apart from anyone else. I have a huge passion to help people and animals that you won’t find anywhere else. I am doing some classes right now but I am still available in the early morning and most of the day for whatever service is needed. I have no other animals or small children in my home. I live in a loft surrounded by lots of grass and greenspace for taking the dogs outside.

“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.”

“Keri is great with our animals, and we are so happy they’re well taken care of during a drop in and walk.”
