Pet Sitting Highlands

“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.”

“Hannah was so great with Joe- it was clear he loved her the way he would cuddle and lay by her!! She followed all my detailed instructions and sent great notes and pics that helped me since I was missing him A LOT! We will definitely use Hannah again.”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and began to walk dogs for others at a young age. I started dog sitting about 5 years ago! I am a full time student but completely online. I drive across town multiple times a day so it’s easy for me to stop in or have a good walk often! My apartment is able to host small dogs and cats comfortably. Exercise will be a big part of our days as well as just interacting and making sure they are safe.

About: I've cared for dogs on and off since high school, and now as a college student with a golden doodle of my own, I know how important companionship is for our furry friends. My roommate also has a golden doodle, and when she's away, my pup really misses having a friend. I started pet sitting to give her more social time and to meet new pups! I also love to walk and have extra free time since I'm taking low credit hours. Whether your pet needs company or solo care, I'm happy to provide a loving and flexible experience! I have a very flexible schedule due to my college classes, on most days my dogs aren't alone for longer than an hour or two, I would treat your dog the same. Every dog needs their person and I would love to be that stand in! I will care for the pets the way you need me to. Normally, we spend lots of time in our backyard playing, we take cuddle naps, we go on walks for about an hour a day (more when we get bored), and lots of fetch!

“Ashley and Kyle dropped in and took care of our two kitties while we were away for several days. We got a lot of photos every day showing our kitty playing with them. They're on the short list for kitty sitters we will use in the future!”

“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.”

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.

“Alisha was wonderful with our dogs. She was very intuitive with them and gave timely updates!! We will certainly hope she is available next ti.e we need someone to look in on our fur babies!”

About: I love animals, particularly cats. I’m patient but firm. I can ignore the incessant whines for excessive amounts of food. I am comfortable administering medications and picking up messes. Your fur baby is safe with me! I’m a student in college. I am free most afternoons and evenings and can spend the night at your house or apartment. Unfortunately, bringing the animals to my apartment is not an option. I’ve got plenty of free time and am excited to take care of your animal! I can not take animals at my apartment. I am more than happy to come to your location. I can do walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, playing, and any of the dirty work that comes with it!

“Alyssa is very reliable, on time, and took wonderful care of my cat, Oggy. I really appreciated the updates with photos and notes, it made me feel so much more relaxed while I was away. When I got home, my cat was happy and comfortable. I would definitely book with her again.”

“Amy did such a great job taking care of our pets. Our cats and dog have some separation anxiety issues, but they had no issues thanks to Amy’s attentive visits. She was prompt, and followed all of our small silly wishes. We look forward to using her services again.”

“Maria was great! She was very responsive to all messages, asked questions, and sent very cute pictures. I had zero anxiety leaving my cats with Maria and would absolutely have Maria watch my babies again!”

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.

“Excellent! Thank you!:)”

About: I have always loved dog. I have two of my own. I also enjoy cats a lot! I have worked with lots of different breeds of dogs. I am currently a college student! I have lots of time in my day to pet sit and take your dog on a walk or outside! Animals bring me joy and I miss mine at home. I am a very respectful person and would be a great dog walker/sitter. I enjoy my time with any dogs and miss mine at home.

“Jenica is an amazing sitter. Our dog Sadie loved her. And she took such good care of Sadie while we were away. I will definitely use Jenica again.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and genuine care I bring to every pet. As the owner of a senior dog with several health needs, I understand firsthand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet—especially when they require a little extra attention. I’m experienced with senior dogs, medication routines, monitoring changes in behavior, and adapting care to a pet’s individual needs and comfort level. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet is young and energetic, shy and needs time to warm up, or a senior who prefers a slower pace and extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a full-time job, but I am remote 3-4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. I am able to work in the care of animals when it comes to potty breaks, medication, overnight, etc.! care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. I know how important consistency is when their owner is away, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and of course plenty of attention and affection! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands! 🐾

“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: I have over 4 years of clinical experience working with cats and I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and ALL sorts of other critters! I currently own a snake and a tortoise, so don’t worry if you’ve got some extra scaly friends you need a hand with 🐍 I’ve worked with cat and dog rescues across my undergrad, this has shown me how important earning trust is for our most nervous fluffy friends! I can administer insulin, oral medications, eye drops, and spend LOTS of time on walks or interactions to keep your kiddos active while you are gone! I am a fresh graduate from UNL, so I am in between summer employment and an internship that starts in the fall! Until then I have ALL the time in the world! I can easily manage dogs outside in a fenced yard, and I am capable of giving medications, treatments, and continuing basic training for your animals! Also, with my current occupation I have learned how to safely manage a frantic cat. Cats and dogs are all very different and require many adjustments that I am willing to use!
