With all of my pet experiences your pet is sure to feel comfortable, safe and happy in my care.

“Great communication and very attentive to my cats needs! I can tell she was pampered because she now expects a full body massage after I give her dinner. 😆 Thanks again Mooney!”

I have always had cats, dogs, hamsters, etc. I am reliable, kind and have only met like 2 dogs who didn’t like me.

About: Hello! :) My name is Mari & I grew up around various animals ranging from horses, cattle, livestock, and of course- dogs! I’m a huge animal lover & treat them with the utmost respect. I make it a high priority that pet owners & their fur babies feel safe, comfortable & confident with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! ☺️ I have availability Friday - Sunday. I like to make sure pets & their owners feel safe with me. I always make sure I’m keeping up with routines, diet, exercise, etc. Respecting animals and their homes is a top priority for me. I always want to make sure that my clients can entrust in me and that they feel confident in my care and that their pet feels safe around me at all times whether their owner is present or not.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience, versatility, and special skills. Not only do I currently dog sit and house sit for three families on an as-needed basis, but I also bring a wealth of experience in handling dogs of all ages and needs. I’m skilled at training puppies, which includes basic obedience and socialization techniques. Additionally, I’m comfortable with senior dogs, providing them with extra care and attention to meet their specific health and mobility needs. My commitment to understanding each dog’s unique personality and routine ensures they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. I currently work full-time in a community-based job where I have the flexibility to create my own schedule. I like to tailor my schedule around my needs for the week, with weekends being when I have the most availability. My current families prefer that I stay in their home, and I’m open to doing the same with other families as well When caring for pets in my client's home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions or routines the family has established. I ensure pets are fed on time, given fresh water, and get the appropriate amount of exercise and attention. I also monitor their health, administer any needed medications, and keep the environment safe and clean. If there are specific needs or requests for the pets, I prioritize those to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in the absence of their owners

“Thank you so much, Jazmine! She takes great care of our two kitties and I always feel so safe knowing she’ll be there while we are out of town. Highly recommend!”

I love meeting new dogs to see new personalities, I try to make sure that every dog feels safe, comfortable and just as happy as I am to meet them and care for them.

“Chelsea did a great job with my senior grumpy cat, lovable but obese furball, and latest addition young cat. I got daily updates and she even helped with a bit of vacuuming when the litter box got out of hand. Communication was great even though I was out of the country and there was an issue with the front door. She easily fixed it with minimal instructions from afar.”

About: Hi! My name is Andrew and have have sat pets for over 20 years now for neighbors and friends. If you choose me to care for your pet, I'll be that distant family member that brings love and attention to every visit. My style is steady and calm no matter the situation. We'll stick to the routine laid out and maintain open hour communication throughout the care. Thank you and hope to meet you soon! I am available all-day Mondays and Fridays with some weekends available for booking. For overnights, I have a RV Camper that will help limit my footprint at your home. Walks can be tailored, let me know your needs and we'll see if a schedule can be arranged! I'll keep the visit minimal and to an agreed timeframe/routine. My direct number will always be open for communication. I have a lab pit at home and open to overnight boarding as well!

About: I have 4 kitties and 1 pup of my own. I have had no less than 3 cats my entire life, and am always helping the local strays as well, so I have loved cats of every type of personality and special need. I take my pup with me just about everywhere, so I have a lot of experience being out and about with a canine companion. My dog doesn't like other dogs, so I am also comfortable caring for pups that prefer not to be around other dogs. If you're looking to give your pup an extra special day out at a new park, I would love to bring them on an adventure! If your dog and/or cat is all about routine, I've got you. Playtime? I am so there! Or maybe your little one is a bit anxious and just wants some scratches and snuggles - I am here to make them feel safe and loved while you are away. <3 Whatever they need most, I am here to provide. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, and as such, I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I can be available whenever it is that you need me the most! I always have access to my own car, so even if you need your pup taken to an appointment or to their most special favorite park, I am happy to do so. If you're looking for someone to stay with your pet all day and/or night, everything I need to do my freelance work is portable, so I can give your little one all the attention they deserve. :) I am the master of catering to the needs of all different types of pet personalities, as I have 4 cats and 1 dog of my own, all very unique from one another. As such, I am able to cater the care I give to fit perfectly with your little one's needs and routines.

“Shelby was awesome with my cat. She posted pictures at every visit. She was very loving and affectionate, and my cat just ate that up! Also, my cat is a diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. That was absolutely no problem for Shelby which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I had no worries at all with her caring for my baby. I would definitely recommend Shelby and will be using her again.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have experience sitting for cats, dogs, rodents, rabbits, reptiles, fish, and even livestock. I have experience with elderly, ill, and injured dogs and cats. I also have experience with puppies and kittens. I have worked with dogs as small as 3 pounds and as large as 150 pounds. I am willing to take care of puppies who are not yet housebroken, and willing to teach puppies and kittens how to sit as well as working on other commands. I love animals and am passionate about caring for them. When I sit for you, your animal will have the best care available! I am disabled and cannot go on walks, but I make up for it with yard time dedicated to playing fetch, encouraging sniffing by hiding treats, doing puzzles, and playing other games. I have flexible availability which allows for the best care for your animals! I am available for sitting and drop ins most days, including holidays! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to work around the needs of your pet. I will provide company for your pet, keep the environment clean and tidy, crate your pet if needed/requested for times I am not there, and make sure to spend as much time as possible with them.

About: I’ve taken care of any kind of animal you can name. I’ve worked/volunteered at recuses, breeders, vet offices, and my family has raised and raced standardbred horses since I was born. I also pet/house sit often. I know cpr/first aid for both dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also been approved for my 501(c)3 non for profit animal rescue license and I’m working towards starting my own animal rescue center. I work part time overnights, I currently care for my cats, 7 peacocks, garden! And regularly assist/have owned exotic birds (large and small), dogs (large and small), equine (large and small), bovine (stock and show), sheep, goats, pigs, turkeys (stock and show), chickens (bantam, standard, large and show), snakes, fish, rabbits, rats (feeders and pets), ferrets, hedgehogs, tortoises (large and small), along with experience in the husbandry with most animals! So hard work is not new to me! As someone who leaves things better than I find them, your house, pets, and privacy are are my number one priority. I understand that planning trips and trusting a member(s) of your family/your home can be a huge stress. I hope that I can take some of that away during that time! You won’t have to worry about the safety of your pets, state of your home, or any medication/special needs, random accommodations your pet(s) may have or need!

About: I’ve grown up with (and pet sat) tons of different animals! I can work with dogs, cats, horses, goats/sheep, birds, reptiles, rodents, you name it! Cool with feeding, watering, potty breaks, administering medicines, cleaning, etc. I’ve been doing dog training for about two years now, and am comfortable working with fearful/reactive animals too. Tons of experience across all fields! I’m a part-time college student with a lot of time on my hands! I think pets deserve all the love and attention I can provide for them, and I’m happy to do just that. Following routines is my jam! Feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, just let me know what you and your furry friends prefer and I’m happy to follow your lead!

About: As an educator with a bachelor's degree in Child and Adolescent Development, caregiving, patience, and responsibility are a huge part of who I am. I'm dependable, attentive, and comfortable pet sitting, feeding, walking, playing with pets, following detailed routines, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I'm also completely comfortable with the less glamorous parts of pet care, including cleaning up poop and other messes, because I know that's simply part of keeping animals happy, healthy, and comfortable. I've had many pets of my own over the years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust to care for your pet and your home while you're away. While I'm not able to have a pet of my own right now, I would love the opportunity to give that same care, attention, and affection to yours. I look forward to getting to know your pet, making them feel comfortable and loved, and caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 My schedule allows me to provide pet care on weekends and during times when I'm not working. I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting, and I do my best to work with each pet owner's routine and scheduling needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I take caring for someone's pet and being trusted in their home seriously. I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, and any special preferences their pet may have. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and the pet's surroundings to help keep them safe and secure. I also make sure to clean up after pets and leave the home tidy, because I believe respecting someone's home is just as important as providing loving and dependable care for their pet.

“Jenna is the BEST! It's so great to leave and know that our little bunnies are in such great care with her. She's always so kind and reliable. I can't recommend her more than I do! 😍”

About: After a few years focused on other animal care work, I’m happy to be actively pet sitting again. I recently moved back to Lincoln, and I will begin offering pet care services again beginning August 2026. In addition to years of pet sitting and dog walking, I have worked professionally in many animal care settings, including veterinary, sanctuary, boarding, and rescue for the last seven years. These settings have taught me the importance of prioritizing safety, observation, consistency, and following detailed care protocols accurately. I have years of experience with fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs and understand that trust cannot be rushed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, use their preferred treats or familiar cues, avoid known triggers, and give them the space or extra reassurance they need to feel comfortable. I also have a special interest in exotic and multi species pet care. I personally have two cats and a leopard gecko and have hands on experience and good foundational husbandry knowledge with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small animals. I’m open to caring for many species, and willing to learn any of their specific routine and husbandry requirements beforehand. One of my biggest priorities is following instructions carefully and accurately. I know small details can make a big difference, especially with medications, feeding routines, behavioral needs, enclosure care, or pets with specific safety precautions. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I provide regular photo updates and clear communication so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I work full time in animal care on Tuesdays and Thursdays through Saturdays. On those days, I’m available after work for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays. I have more flexibility on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays and can often accommodate daytime care on those days as well. I plan my Rover bookings carefully so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine ahead of time and make sure their care schedule is something I can reliably accommodate. For overnight stays, I do my best to keep feeding, medications, walks, and bedtime routines as close to normal as possible. Safety is always my first priority. Before opening doors or gates, I make sure pets are safely secured, and I always double-check that collars, harnesses, leashes, and other gear fit properly before leaving the home. I follow household and care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, walking precautions, behavioral triggers, enclosure care, and any special routines your pet may have. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, or anything else that may be important to communicate to you. I currently only provide care in my clients’ homes, which also allows pets to stay in the environment and routine they already know.
