I am so happy that we have her available to us going forward and have already rebooked for next month!”

Janie did a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures! And if I had any concerns about the cats well being she put my mind at ease and helped calm my nerves!! Thank you Jania and family for loving our girls!! 🫶🏻 We will definitely ask for your help again for sure!!!”


About: I have a small pup of my own, who loves walks, many treats and cuddles. Great sitter who can care for all your dogs needs. I’m currently a part time intern so i’ll have lots of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 8. I will be able to feed and walk pups every 4-8 hours and will crate them up when needed. When boarding they will get all the love and action they need. Plus snuggles!

About: I have experience giving pets oral medicine and administering subcutaneous insulin. I am physically able to pick up pets and take them on longer walks if they wish. I am currently in school and working part-time, so I have time to stop in throughout my days and hang out with your pets! I am training for a triathlon so I could even run with any doggos who need extra energy release. I believe your home is a sacred place and will value your privacy and space. If your pet has had an accident, I don't mind helping to clean it up!

“Hannah was great. She was on time, played with the boys, and shared some awesome photos of the them. You could see from the photos they enjoyed the time spent with her.”


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.

“Jillian was a fantastic caretaker for our 3 kitties! She communicated, gave great pics, and regular updates! We will definitely book with her again for future trips!”


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 have always grown up in a household with pets and see them as family members. Currently enjoying the companionship of my 2 fur babies. Throughout my time of loving animals, i have had pets with allergies, a 2 different orthopedic procedures on knees and 2 eye procedures and feel comfortable with giving medications or eye drops. When it comes to my animals, I value the importance of them having the ability to be cared for when I am away and look forward to providing that to other familys. I am available most friday afternoons and weekends for drop ins and walks in the lincoln area. Could consider evenings on additional days upon request. Currently my animals are free roam, but I do have experiance with crate training. My animals enjoy daily walks, mind stimulating activities and practicing of their learned tricks, and lots of love.

About: I've owned dogs of every kind since I was a kid! In high-school I dog/farm sat and dog walked. I also have experience with livestock and experience in the animal science field. I'm currently working 32 hours during the week, but I am open to working most hours and can work things around my flexible schedule. My job is very flexible and I am able to make schedules work! I currently have no pets living with me, but interact with mine frequently when I am back at home! When caring for any pets, I always practice patience and have experience dealing with difficult pets who need more discipline, and have experience with working with very well behaved dogs as well.

“Fernanda has been doing drop ins on my new puppy in the mornings since I can't let him out until early afternoon. She has been very trustworthy, reliable, and communicative. I would recommend her to anyone to care for their pets and will be keeping her in my mind for doggy daycare and boarding in the future.”

My dog always looks forward to her walks, and it’s amazing how much more relaxed and happy he is afterward. Samantha is punctual, reliable, and communicates with us regularly to let us know how things are going. It’s such a relief knowing that Rosie is in such caring hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and loving dog walker, look no further!”

Jillian was a fantastic caretaker for our 3 kitties! She communicated, gave great pics, and regular updates! We will definitely book with her again for future trips!

Hannah is very accommodating and kind. I needed some last minute help and she was very responsive and reliable!

Alaina was fabulous! I am so so lucky we found her! Our cat needs medication, including an injection, twice daily. This can be intimidating to take on, but Alaina was so willing to learn and did great with them! Even when it took a little longer than expected she was patient, stuck to it, and persevered. I am so happy that we have her available to us going forward and have already rebooked for next month!

Madison sent so many updates-pictures while we were gone and Remy got lots of attention and play time in during her visits! We will absolutely use her again.

I really appreciated the all the amazing care Peyton provided. Lots of pictures and updates! My house was clean and my animals were all well taken care of. I definitely would recommend her and plan on booking again!

Kaitlyn was very helpful in coming over to our house and feeding our boy and taking him outside for us after our previous plans fell through. She responded quickly and was able to help us out that day.

Tyler has been a godsend for my dog Kai and I. He comes and visits my dog once every weekday while I am at work and I can tell how much more happy and relaxed Kai is now that he is getting to go out for walks, play, and just hang out with someone while I am at work. Tyler was super understanding of my concerns as a first time Rover user and is great about treating my residence as I would hope a visitor does. The only difference I notice when I get home is a full water bowl and a happy, relaxed dog! Thanks Tyler!
