About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog sitter passionate about providing loving and attentive care for your furry friends. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, so I tailor my services to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I’m flexible and reliable, ensuring your pet gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I’d love to hear about your dog’s personality and preferences—let’s chat and make sure your pup feels right at home with me! Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are my preferred times for meet and greets, but I’m always happy to be flexible and accommodate other times when needed. I start my day early with a 5am job and work another job at 10pm, but I always make sure to set aside quality time for your pup! When dog sitting at my place or yours, I take days off from my night job so I can be there most of the time. I’ll still work my morning job, but only until 1pm, ensuring I’m available to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I have a dog too, so to keep both pets safe, I always make sure they have a proper introduction first. I’d never leave them alone together and will keep a close eye on your pup at all times! At night, we use a downstairs area connected to my bedroom for some quiet time. Your dog will have a crate, a cozy bed, and food and water dishes available throughout the night. We also have a large fenced backyard where your pup can run and play freely, plus plenty of toys to keep them entertained!

“Amanda has been amazing with our puppy. She has gone above and beyond to make sure our little guy is taken care of. We have been using her for two weeks now and appreciate all her help and time.”

About: I love being active with my dogs and participating in weekly activities with them, including agility and obedience training. Dogs need to be physically and mentally stimulated daily for their health and well-being. I am a newly retired teacher of 32 years. I have a completely open schedule and want to fill it with my favorite thing in the world...DOGS! I am a huge walker and love to have furry friends to accompany me. I am very flexible and can make most times work, so please don't hesitate to ask. I also love ALL sizes and breeds of dogs, at my house we have a 13-year-old Morkie named Mollie and a 1-year-old Bouvier named Bert who weighs 95 pounds. My open schedule allows me flexibility for drop-ins to check in on your fur babies. I worked for many years as a teacher and spent so much time worrying about my pets at home; do they need a potty break? Are they lonely? Do they have water? I want you to feel comfortable while your pet/s are at home alone, and am happy to help out however; this can include feeding, walking, or just cuddling. I want to be able to give you peace of mind that your pet is being cared for, so you can focus on your job or commitment.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and experience with animals. Growing up on a farm taught me patience and responsibility, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I offer puppy training basics, gentle senior pet care, and medication support when needed. Most importantly, I provide consistent, loving attention so your pets feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part time, which leaves me plenty of flexibility. I’m available most days of the week to give animals consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping pets company, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of love, play, and attention. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time are always part of the routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets on their normal schedule—whether that means meals, walks, medications, or bedtime routines—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.

“Ruby gives her two paws up and a huge tail wag! Ruby's humans definitely agree. Great personality and made instant friends with Ruby. I know our vacation will be much better knowing Ruby will be happy with our new friend!”

About: I am always available to help you and your furry children! And I love doing it too! I have watched dogs in the past, more for favors than anything, but pets are my passion and I would love to be your choice for a walker/sitter/overnight companion to all the dogs and their awesome owners! We could go to the dog park if you wanted us to, or just stay at home and go on walks and spend some great quality time together. Treats always included! You won’t ever have to worry about your little (or big!) loved one when they’re with me because I promise to provide outstanding care! With me, they’ll get nothing but love and a great new friend and I can’t wait to meet y’all!

About: I have 2 of my own dachshunds and also foster for Nebraska Dachshund Rescue. I have lived with large (Newfoundland) and small dogs providing walks and daily care. I can recognize abnormal excrement and report it to the owner. Each dog has their own personality and needs to be respected for the individual they are. I have a dog with some food intolerances (as I do myself) and understand that one food or treat does not fit all animals. My availability varies depending on my weekly schedule. On days I work I would be available to provide an evening walk for your baby. On my days off I could help out most times if the day I am comfortable walking you pet/pup or coming to you house while you are gone to take care of birds, fish, reptiles, rodents. Whatever the need may be! I am available after 1700 Monday through Friday and anytime on weekends. Availability on holidays will vary, but my calendar will be updated to show such. I will follow whatever requests you have for the care of your pet. I will respect whatever diet/treat schedule you have for them. I will make certain they wear their galoshes & sweater for walks if that is what you request!

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life all breeds of them I have also had a kitten, I love animals I would like to put your mind at ease while I take of you pet because I know they apart of your family. I have some extra time I can spare into taking care of pets during the week. This is important to me to do a good job for you. I will make sure they go potty when needed, well fed, and plenty of play time in between. Exercise is a very good part their day so they aren't so bored.

“Opening my home and trusting our pup with someone I didn't know was nerve racking. That was until I met Jeannie! You can tell she truly has a passion for animals and enjoys what she does. Communicates well, punctual, and does her best to work with your scheduling needs. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi! My name is Maddie and I am a current Master’s student at the University of Nebraska in the Counseling Psychology program. Since I was very little, animals have been an important part of my life. I have lived with dogs for as long as I can remember! I have had a lifetime of feeding, playing with, walking, and caring for them. I have also had experience with various sizes and breeds of dogs, and regularly look after a handful of pets (including cats) in my neighborhood. I have plenty of time during most of my days to snuggle, walk, and care for any of your furry friends. I work from home in addition to being a full-time student. My only "full" day of classes is Wednesday, but I am able to take breaks to come on check on my furry friends throughout the day. Otherwise, I am able to spend a lot of time at home and outside with your pup! While caring for your pet, I understand that I would be occupying the space that is your pet’s home. I also understand that the space should remain as it was when you left, and will always clean up after myself and only use what I am permitted to use by the owner! I want to make sure that both you and your pet feel secure with me being in your home.

This allows me to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship throughout the day.

I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while staying in their familiar home environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, training reinforcement, and plenty of affection — to keep stress low and tails wagging.

I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands.

About: I have been caring for and watching animals since my early teens. I have grown up with both dogs and cats like and they each hold a very special place in my heart. In my years of pet sitting experience, I have been around a wide variety of temperaments and personalities. I always take unique approach to each each individual animal. I currently work part time spending the rest of my time watching animals. I share a chocolate lab and a cat with my fiance in our home in West Omaha. My schedule is incredibly flexible, which means I am a good choice for last-minute care as well as being able to come to your home at various times throughout the week. My home is in a safe and well-maintained neighborhood in West Omaha. I have a large fenced in backyard, a spacious indoor area, and a neighborhood with parks and nature for nice long walks.

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it! I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible! If you have any requests on what you would like me to do with your pet(s), no matter which service it might fall under, please let me know!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for different animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dogs, so I understand how to properly care for pets and read their behavior. Living in the countryside gave me even more experience with animals and taught me to be patient, and responsible. I am a very caring and reliable person who truly loves animals. I will treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of. I have a flexible schedule and I am available for dog walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I usually walk dogs in the park where they can enjoy fresh air and exercise. I can adjust my time to fit your pet’s routine and needs. I always make sure pets are safe and comfortable. During walks, I keep dogs on a leash and stay attentive at all times. I choose safe areas like parks for walks and always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure your pet feels secure and happy.

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.
