About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was in high school. House sitting and pet sitting is one of my favorite ways to make money. I love animals, I also enjoy going for a walk so having a dog with me makes me feel more relaxed & comfortable. Cats I just enjoy being around and seeing the crazy little behavior. Overall animals mean so much too me & I would be so grateful to be able to take care of your babies ❤️ I am currently a college student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I have Fridays off so I’ll be able to spend a lot of the day with the animals. Monday through Thursday I have classes however I only have two classes on Monday and Wednesday and three classes on Thursday so I’ll be able to check on the animals throughout the day and also be there at night with them. when I decide to housesit or animal sit for a client. The first thing I asked them to do is to write everything down that I need to do on a day-to-day basis on a piece of paper and leave it on the kitchen table so I make sure I’m doing everything I can for the animals. I can take the animals on walks if that’s what they enjoy if the animals tend to be more elderly, I can just spend time with them make sure they’re getting their meds whatever you guys have a preference of me doing I can do it to the best of my ability.
About: While I do not possess professional experience in animal care, I am very active in the animal world. I love time spent at shelters with animals that do not get much attention otherwise.

I would love to care for your pets as if they were my own!

About: I have experience with deaf, blind, senior and reactive dogs as well as cats. I fostered and trained for Blue River Pet Rescue and have taken dog safety courses with Nebraska Humane Society. I know what it's like to have a scared or sick dog and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them when you can't. I am no stranger to a special needs dog and I want to be that person for you and your pet when you need me. My own dog, who passed in April 2025, had CHF and I could barely stand to let him out of my sight. I was lucky that the people who fostered him offered to watch him when needed. Without them, I'm not sure how I would've found someone I could really trust to be patient and kind to him. Now that he's gone, I want to be able to be that person for others. I work completely remote, so I am always home, giving me a great opportunity to care for special needs animals or just animals in general. I work Mon-Fri, 12-8 and weekends are usually free. I live close to a dog park that I took my previous foster to every day and have a nice neighborhood for walks. I have a yard (not fully fenced in) with a tie out leash, though I go outside often and never leave a pet alone. I usually take the dogs out every hour and walk with them around the yard and house with a longer walk before and after work. I have lots of toys and keep a pet water fountain running at all times. I keep a couple of dog beds throughout the house, so there is always somewhere soft and comfortable to lay down, whether they want to stay close by or would prefer some space. My house is their house while they're here. Besides the trash cans, they are welcome to explore.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
Allyson was wonderful! She was always punctual and followed everything I asked her to do for Oggy. She also left very detailed notes after each visit, which I really appreciated. Her updates made me feel completely at ease while I was away because I knew Oggy was in good hands. When we came back, he was happy and relaxed, and it was clear that he felt very comfortable with her. I would definitely trust Allyson to take care of Oggy again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to take care of their pet!
We used Taylor again while we were away for the weekend, and she was wonderful as always! She does such a great job with our pets, and we really appreciate all the photos and updates while we’re away. She’s definitely our go-to sitter! Thank you, Taylor, for taking such great care of them! ❤️
Michelle was absolutely amazing with our cat while we were away on vacation. This was our first time using Rover and it was a super easy process. We really appreciated all the pictures and updates Michelle provided while we were away. Definitely helped ease our mind as this was our first time away from our cat. We will definitely book with Michelle again!
Kelly took wonderful care of my cat when I was out of town. She was on time for all of his visits and sent detailed updates about what they did during each visit. It was clear by the photos she sent that my cat adored her! I would definitely recommend Kelly and will certainly use her again next time I need cat care.
Jamie was absolutely wonderful with my 2 pets , Maddie and Jaden. You could immediately see she loves and is good with animals. Jaden (cat) normally is very shy but not with Jamie, he immediately went to her. I had last minute flight changes and she was there to help. I will definitely use Jamie again.
