About: I have been taking care of pets since I was about 8 years old. I have always had at least 2 dogs and a cat in the house growing up. Since I joined the military I also helped my friends and coworkers with their pets when they were away. I have a flexible schedule, I work full-time but can work from home most days. I am able to care for pets easily throughout the day. I currently have one dog, bernedoodle, he is the most spoiled pup there is. We have gone through many obedience classes together so I have knowledge and experience on how to properly walk and care for a dog. I love any opportunity I have to meet and care for any new animals. I love going on walks and playing with dogs and cats to keep them entertained! I am currently working at a flexible job, so I can be readily available to attend to your pet's needs and look after your fur baby for the majority of the day! I treat your home and your dog like I would my own! I make sure they have plenty of water, have been fed, time to potty, and plenty of play time as well! They won't be bored with me!

About: I've had a passion for dogs since childhood, and I turned that passion into expertise by working at the Kearney area animal shelter for three years. This experience deepened my knowledge of various breeds while I pursued my goal of becoming a dog obedience instructor. I hold two certifications in dog training—one from Penn Foster and another from Petsmart, where I am proud to serve as a trainer. I ensure that your dog receives not only physical exercise but also essential mental stimulation, making our walks both effective and enjoyable. I currently work full time at cottonwood vet clinic as a trainer/kennel assistant, but caring for dogs is truly my passion and always my top priority. While my schedule mostly has me working weekday mornings from 8-6 it allows me the precious time on the weekend , from Saturday to Monday 8-6, to walk dogs and provide training . I'm dedicated to ensuring that every dog I care for feels loved and valued. I have two friendly dogs, which means I’ll be actively socializing with them while ensuring they get the ample exercise they need to stay happy and healthy.

About: I have had dogs since I was 11 in addition to all sorts of other animals, such as bunnies, rats, chinchillas, and cats. I love love love dogs. My dog, Vinny, is my baby. The dog park is my happy place! I love to go there with Vinny. Vinny and I also love to go on long walks. I can provide your dog with lots of love, long walks, trips to the dog park, and lots of playtime with Vinny. I will make sure to send you daily pictures because I know that I love to get pictures of my baby when someone is watching him. Vinny and I look forward to meeting you and having lots of playtime! I also have experience giving medicine to dogs.

About: I have lived with animals my entire life; I have experience from one family dog to five dogs, a cat, chickens, pigs, ducks, and a beard dragon (all at the same time)! I have always LOVED animals, and I have dog-sat several times for my neighbor. I work full time, however my job is about two minutes away from my home and I come home for lunch daily. Weekends are almost always free, so they are typically better for me, however if you are okay with you pet being alone for a few hours while I am working, weekdays will work! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a large yard. I have one cat that goes inside and outside. There are not many animals in the neighborhood, and I’ve never had a problem with the ones that are here.

“What a life saver today!! Kendra took good care of my pup and even helped me out when I forgot to leave out her leash. It was great not to have to worry.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! I currently have cats but if I could have a dog at my apartment, I would!! I often walk my sisters chihuahua and my mother-in-laws poodle and shih tzu! I love playing fetch with the doggos, going on walks AND runs, and even just cuddling up on the couch! I own my own business and winter is the slower months so taking care of your pups or kitties would be easy and stress free! I have 3 cats at home that love to play and sleep of course haha! We feed them chicken and tuna along with some treats! We have unlimited cardboard boxes in our apartment and so so many little toys laying around!

About: Imagine having a stranger enter your house, then grab and kiss your face! Unfortunately, well meaning pet lovers assume your dog or cat wants to be pet, cuddled, and squished, all while unintentionally ignoring polite yet clear cut off signals from your pet that say "no thank you." Hanging out with a sitter for the day should be as low stress and fun for your pet as possible. That's where I come in. With over 12 years of animal care experience, including 3 years of working with and training behaviorally sensitive, fearful, and easily over-stimulated dogs, I understand the importance of moving at your pet's pace. I can quickly read and interpret canine body language to know if your dog is saying "more please" or "please give me some space." My experience includes 2 years working in specialized boarding for fearful, reactive, and sensitive dogs, 7 months of shelter canine behavioral modification, and a solid foundation in positive reinforcement dog training. When with me, your pet will enjoy enrichment through fun puzzles and/or basic training games. I hold my Fear Free Certified Professional Trainer certification and my IAABC-ADT accreditation (International Association of Animal Behavior Consulting - Accredited Dog Trainer). Both FearFree Pets and IAABC hold their members to the highest animal treatment standards (viewable on their websites) so you can rest assured your pet is in safe and caring hands. I work part time most week days and weekends. My pet care available hours for in-home services are 8AM to 3PM on Mondays and Fridays. My approach to animals is at their pace. I don't force them into anything they are uncomfortable with or fearful of, and I pair my presence with lots of delicious treats.

About: My family has had animals since I was little. As I’ve gotten older my love for them has grown. My boyfriend is a dog trainer and has taught me quite a bit on the subject and dogs behaviors. I’d love to help care for yours and help in anyway I’m currently a server and will have plenty of time to care for your loving pets. I mostly work evenings so my days are free :) I take my babies to the dog park and on daily mile walks plus short walks around the block. I also have kennels and plenty of stimulation such as toys, treats, puzzles, and kongs to keep them working physically and mentally.

About: I’ve cared for a wide range of animals—from fish to horses—and love them all! I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for the past few years and have experience with training puppies, giving medications to senior pets, and keeping animals happy and safe. As a fellow fur mom, I treat all my clients’ pets like family so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m here to care for animals of all shapes and sizes like they’re my own. I’m a self-employed pet photographer, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily move things around to accommodate pet care needs. Whether it's a midday walk, an evening drop-in, or weekend care, I can usually make it work and love having animals as part of my daily routine! When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I always respect the space, follow instructions closely, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m also more than happy to meet your pet a few times before your trip so they can get used to me and feel totally at ease. Their well-being is my top priority, and I aim to build trust with both pets and their people!

“Jamie is a fun, courteous and reliable dog walker. My dog is reactive at best and Jamie manages his temperament. She really helps me improve my dog's behaviors. I highly recommend Jamie.”

About: I love animals! I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family. I have a very flexible schedule so I decided why not do more! I don’t work a normal 9 to 5 job so I am available almost anytime to come love on and care for your fur babies! I have pets at home so I wouldn’t be able to bring yours here at this time. But I would love to come to your home to play ,brush ,feed /water and clean up after them. I have experience with giving meds and enjoy walking dogs too!

About: I've had pets all my life. I've watched over animals for family members and friends, and worked as a dogsitter for 2 years. I've taken care of dogs, cats, and everything inbetween. I am avaliable nearly every day and will be more than happy to take care of your furry family member. The only exceptions are on holidays. There is nothing I love more than playing or cuddling with animals. I have plenty of experience calming my own and other peoples' pets during stressful situations, such as during fireworks. Just let me know what your pet likes and I am willing to provide. I am currently working part-time, so I can care for your pets anytime outside of my normal work hours. I only work for about 3 hours per day so that leaves plenty of time for them. My number one priority is making sure that your pets will feel safe and happy. I am always willing to keep their favorite items at the ready for whenever they may need it.

“Cassidy is super professional and a great communicator! She's reliable and kind, highly recommend!!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life! I currently have a pomepoo named Cece and a domestic short hair cat named Eros! I can’t wait to help you with your furry friends! I currently and in-between work right now so my availability is pretty open! I will give your pets the love and attention you want them to have, while also being stern if they are still training and learning to behave (cuddles included). I hope that I am someone you will consider for your pet needs and I am excited to be working with you and your furry family! I am currently in-between jobs right now so I am pretty open to be available whenever needed to take care of your pets and take them on walks and cuddles. I ensure your pet gets the attention and love they need to feel comfortable while their parents are away. I enjoy going on walks and giving lots of snuggles.

About: I have had dogs in my life ever since the age of 4. I have been counted on to care for all breeds and ages of dogs as well as cats. The care of your pet is not something I take lightly as I know how much four legged family members mean to you! I am a college student and a part time employee at a nursing home. I have availability to check in on your furry friends in the afternoons. I care for animals the same as I would people. Putting your animal and it’s needs first. This means that your pets safety and comfort is my number one priority.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many family members and friends! Feeding, exercise and bathing are just a few of the things I am capable of doing for you and your pet I will make the time to care and love for your pet! They deserve the love and attention throughout the day just as much as they do at night! I make sure to keep the pet comfortable in there own space but make sure the area stays sanitary. I want all animals to feel special!

About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life. I grew up with two cats, one of which I've had since I was 4 years old. I volunteered throughout middle school at the humane society, I even job shadowed there during my high school years. I've taken care of my family members' pets and my friends' pets. I currently have 2 of my own kitties and I live in a house with 3 cats including mine. I go on daily walks so adding a dog to the equation would be easy. I don’t know very many people from kearney which makes it easier for me to find work and find things to keep myself busy without worrying about friends I always make sure my cats have clean water in their fountain and i feed my babies at least 2-3x a day. I also spend time with them, cuddling them and giving them belly rubs, and even letting myself be uncomfortable if they are sleeping on me. I take my dog at my dads out walking every now and then. I make sure my roommates cat has water and food and i help her give her cat his medication if they have an infection or had to get some sort of surgery done.

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals and did overnight dog care through college and now take care of friends dog in addition to caring for two of my own!

I have a fenced in yard and plenty of cozy couches for your dog to lounge on! My own dogs can play fetch for hours and are very well socialized!
