My dog routinely goes to Shawn and Melissa’s, and I never, ever have to worry about him while he’s there. They treat him like he’s their own dog. He literally runs up the stairs when we arrive, and that’s how I know he’s being loved! They are the best sitters!

The overnight stay went well. Stacy sent me a picture soon after i dropped off my dog to ease my concern about him adjusting. And, later another. Loved it.

Marty, my little senior dog, had such a good time with Sheila. Sheila provided a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for Marty. I really appreciate the photos and updates that Sheila sent while I was away. It was a meaningful and thoughtful touch. Marty and I recommend Sheila, and will definitely contact her the next time I need a dog sitter.

Ashley and Kyle watched our miniature poodle in their apartment overnight and we couldn’t be more pleased. He’s an energetic dog, but they kept him busy. They had toys for him to play with, took him on walks, and he loved playing with their dog. They also sent us several pics to let us know how he was doing. They even provided a small bag of dog treats to take home and wrote a very nice, thoughtful thank you card which they put in the bag with our dog’s stuff. We would be delighted for them to watch our pup again, and we highly recommend them to anyone else looking for someone to watch their dog.

About: My whole family has always had dogs throughout my life. I have necessary experience to be able to handle even big dogs. That is why I am confident I’ll be a good fit to take care of any pup while respecting and continuing their specific training and cues. I will be available to let them potty or play outside as often as they need or with what their routine is at home. Just let me know what you need! I have supplies for any dogs needs. And also a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for us to play together. I also have plenty of toys on hand, from balls to ropes to durable stuffed animals.

We have used Emily and her lovely family to care for our senior dog on 2 different occasions and we will not hesitate to reach out again if needed. They have been so flexible and kind both times. I appreciate the great and timely communication. It can be a little nerve wracking leaving an older dog (with some issues) but Emily made us feel very comfortable! 10/10 recommend!

Ashley is our go-to sitter for our Golden - she treats our dog as if she’s her own! They go for walks, play outside, and my dog is always so excited to go back. Ashley is responsive to messages and sends lots of fun photos of our dogs playing together. We always know she’s going to have a great time when we leave her with Ashley’s family and her friendly Goldens. 10/10 would recommend!!

Miss Lisa is just the most amazing person. She took care of my little guy Rio for 5 days and I couldn’t have been happier and more at peace knowing my little guy was safe AND happy with her. She truly is such a gem and I’m so glad I found her. Thank you so so much for loving my little pup Rio and making sure I had nothing to worry about while he was in your care. 10 stars!

michelle and family were very friendly to me and stellah at time of drop off .... made me feel comfortable leaving stellah in their care right from the start .... michelle kept in contact with me with texting and pics throughout stellah's stay to put me in even more of a comfort zone .... stellah really enjoyed michelles giant back yard (i understand stellah did some serious roaming and play activity with the other dogs) .... michelle and her kids showed some serious love to stellah (i could tell as stellah was not as excited to leave with me at pick up as she has been with other sitters) .... it was heart warming when i picked up stellah to see her sitting and offering her attention to michelles boy .... michelles boy said "stellah is my favorite dog" .... michelle will be my go to in the future when we leave town for the family love and apparent exercize stellah received .... i might even drop off stellah once in awhile for the activity & love stellah received even if we are in town .... i highly recommend michelle and family to sit your dog ....

Anni provided exceptional communication prior to and during the entire time she boarded my dog. She has a great set-up for a dog enjoys outside time and she was prompt in being ready for my drop-off and pick-up times. Given I was traveling from out of town for a football game in Lincoln, she allowed me to now worry whatsoever about the care of my dog in a city that is not my home.
