“Maria was prompt and communicative. She made every minute of each visit count. Our pup quickly connected with her and experienced little disruption to his daily routine.”


About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. Although I currently live in a small apartment and can’t have pets of my own right now, pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I regularly dog sit for a married couple whenever they travel out of town, and I also cat sit for a woman who lives in an apartment. I have experience feeding, watering, walking, playing with pets, giving medications, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to provide loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have the entire summer off and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet sitting. Once the school year begins again, I’d still love to continue working with returning clients and their pets in the evenings, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their owners. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, dependable, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a calm presence, I’m patient and happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“I rarely give 5 star reviews, but Lora was so amazing! She said our dogs were the first ones she did visits with, but our dogs seemed happy in every picture she sent us. She visited as discussed, took time to give them scritches and love on them. I was really impressed and so long as we live in Lincoln we will be reaching out to Lora for our fur babies.”
“Ashley and Kyle were very great to my kitty’s, gave them lots of love and helped take care of them while I was gone with daily visits. Will def book with them again”

About: I’ve had pets around for as long as I can remember. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I even have training experience with puppies. I have also taken care of special needs dogs before, including an epileptic dog, so I have lots of experience with animals that have special needs . I also worked at a wildlife rehab this past summer so I have experience with proper administration of eye meds, oral meds, and SQ injections in mammals. My family fosters dogs so I am familiar with all sorts of dogs. I’m currently a college student home for break. I’m majoring in fisheries and wildlife at UNL and plan to work in an animal related field in the future. I will have lots of time to care for all of your pets. I do have my own kitty at home, so I just need to make sure I have enough time to take care of him twice daily. I will mostly be focusing on your pets and what they need as this is my main summer job for now. I have house sat for clients and family/friends for years. I will be sure to do whatever it takes to fulfill your pet’s needs while you are away, keeping them happy, healthy, and safe.
“Kynnedy completed some drop in visits while I was out of town. She completed the care and feeding for my dogs. She played with them and gave them attentions. She took lots of photos.”

“Chelsea did a wonderful job. She was very timely and quick to reply, and helped us on a very short notice. She communicated well and followed all instructions we asked. Izzy seemed to be really happy and we will definitely use Chelsea again if we need Izzy taken care of while we are gone!”

About: I have taken care of animals since i was a little kid. I grew up on a farm so have been around animals my whole life. Now as I have gotten older, I am a certified dog mom :) I currently have 2 labs of my own, Johnny and June. We love being outside and running off energy. This could include playing in the big fenced in back yard, going to the dog park or even swimming out at the lake. Since I have no children of my own, my dogs are my children and are treated as such. They pretty much rule the house and what they want usually goes. They have more toys than they know what to do with and know by just giving me the puppy eyes they can get a treat. They love having their furry friends come over to play or to spend the night. I do have experience in caring for dogs from puppies all the way up to senior age. My last lab was 13 years old when he passed away last summer and needed a lot of extra care and patience to ensure that he was comfortable. I currently do work full-time but have a pretty flexible schedule. I am able to work from home at least 1 day a week and those days I am not at home, I am able to come home to give potty breaks and to run off some energy. While I am at work my dogs are in their kennels with lots of toys and their special blankets. They are both puppies still so free roam hasnt happened quite yet, despite our attempts. Too many things to get into and chew on while mom is gone :) On the weekends, 9 times out of 10 they are spent just being at home and spending time with the dogs. If it is nice we may go on little adventures but there is very little kennel time. I am looking to provide care for pets in my home. I have a very large fenced-in backyard that my two enjoy playing in. When I am home, most of their time is spent outside. I do have a bunch of toys for them to play with and also a baby pool to swim in when it is hot. When I am gone I do kennel my dogs and would prefer to be able to kennel visitors as well.

About: I've cared for and loved family pets (beagle, staffy, and pit) all my life, but as a young adult living in an apartment away from home, I'm looking to befriend some local canine pals! Play, walking, cuddles, and parks: I want to leave pets happy and ready for their nap!! I'm currently working a part-time research position, with free time to care for your pets! I am unable to board animals, but my flexibility allows for check-ins throughout the day! My time with your pet will be for active engagement and physical monitoring, responsive to their needs. I'm happy to have short meetings to ensure fit and want to collaborate to optimize your pet's care.
About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Los Angeles. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.
“Mikaela had stepped in and helped me with letting my two dogs out when I lost my regular person. We had a meet and greet at the dog park before the service began and another one at the house. She is very responsible and reliable, plus the pups love her.”


About: I’ve had a very well rounded experience growing up with animals since my early childhood. Additionally I worked at Petsmart seven years, and three years in the petshotel boarding facility with both cats and dogs. This was a 24 hour care facility, which I learned the unique personalities of animals and interacted with a wide variety of breeds. I also cared for the cats, including play times, feedings and administering medication. I understand the importance of caring for each pet and ensuring they are comfortable. I feel I am extremely responsible and attentive, and will communicate with you while you’re away so you can have piece of mind knowing your pet is taken care of. I am open to taking walks/runs depending on the amount of exercise your dog needs. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

About: My whole family has always had dogs throughout my life. I have necessary experience to be able to handle even big dogs. That is why I am confident I’ll be a good fit to take care of any pup while respecting and continuing their specific training and cues. I will be available to let them potty or play outside as often as they need or with what their routine is at home. Just let me know what you need! I have supplies for any dogs needs. And also a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for us to play together. I also have plenty of toys on hand, from balls to ropes to durable stuffed animals.

“Amy did such a good job with my cats. They looked well taken care of and always answered when I asked questions or needed reassurance that they were happy. Thanks again for doing such a great job!”

“Maven did a great job with drop-in visit for my two cats. The cats were fed and watered and I received a detailed report with pictures. Will definitely contact her again. Thank you Maven!”
About: My love of animals led me to start volunteering at a veterinarian‘s office giving baths and cleaning cages when I was 15. I have fostered dogs (of all ages, sizes and breeds) and cats (mostly kittens) for animal rescues. I volunteered at a large animal rescue helping with horses, goats, donkeys, and cows. I have a passion for animals! Personally, I have had Guinea pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, fish, and a horse. Currently I have a pug, a cat, and a very lazy guinea pig. I have a nice big fenced in backyard for off leash playtime and a good neighborhood/trails for longer walks. I have two children who have grown up around all manner of animals and enjoy interacting and playing with dogs and cats in particular. I work a 8-5 job Monday through Thursday. Fridays are a short day for me so I’m able to take boarders starting Thursday evenings. Friday they’d be alone for 6 hours at the longest. Saturday and Sunday they would only be left for a couple hours at the most as I am home during the weekends. I have a large fenced yard with a tall fence. My cat is acclimated to dogs and does well with other cats. My kids have always had animals in their life and know how to interact with new animals appropriately.

About: I’ve dog sat for about 8ish years for family and friends. I also have two dogs of my own, a Mini Golden doodle and a Westie. My family also fosters dogs occasionally so I have lots of experience with different dogs and personalities. I work full time from 8:00am-4:30pm but I’m always open to provide care early anytime between 6:00am and before 7:30am. And can provide care anytime after 4:30pm. And am free anytime on the weekends. At home we have a fenced in backyard for our fur babies and let them outside to potty and play multiple times a day. When I dog sit I usually just provide services at the clients home and don’t bring the pets to my own house. But will of course provide the same care and let the pets out multiple times a day to play and potty, and will provide walks for the pets for any client that requests.
Highlands pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alaina was so professional and helpful! She gave detailed updates and made sure we were up to date on what was happening with our cats. She administered medication well which was a huge help since we have a medically complex cat. We will continue to use her for visits in the future!
