Dog Sitting Lincoln

About: Hello! My name is Gretchen and I am 21 years old studying Environmental Science at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I have dog sat since I was 10 years old for a variety of breeds. I am very comfortable around big labs or even tiny chihuahuas! I will treat any dog like it’s my own family and give them so much love when its own family is away. I love dogs more than people!! I have experience in giving dogs any type of medicine. I’ve given shots to elderly dogs and pills to pups whenever they need it in a very timely manner. I am CPR certified as well I am a full time student but I am free all summer! I can take care of your dogs when you go on those amazing summer vacations. My schedule is very flexible so don’t be afraid to reach out! I live in an apartment so going to your place would be ideal. At your place I will clean anything you need me to! I will clean up after the dog and you won’t be disappointed!

About: Hello! I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have always been the person eager to help care for them. I’ve raised and trained a dog of my own and have looked after many others since my teens. I’ve also had two cats, so I’m no stranger to feline personalities, whether they’re cuddly, independent, or a little dramatic. Over the years, I’ve also cared for a variety of reptiles and amphibians, so I’m comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and species. Animals have always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their unique quirks and routines. Whether your pet loves playtime, prefers quiet company, or just wants someone reliable to keep them safe and comfortable, I’ll make sure they receive the same care, patience, and attention I’d give my own pets. 🐾 For the summer, I am very flexible and I am completely free for most days. I prefer working weekdays in the mid morning or afternoon/evening but weekends and earlier times are no problem, don’t be afraid to ask! Starting Aug 6., I will be working 8am-3pm Monday-Friday. Still will be available any other times or days! I can easily crate your dog if needed, and I will keep a close eye on them whenever they are outside. I will always respect the surroundings of my client’s home and make sure to follow any instructions you provide. I am also happy to adapt to each pet’s individual needs so they feel comfortable and well cared for.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for family friends for years. My girlfriend and I love meeting new fur babies and getting to play with them! I work 1:30 to 5:30 every week day at the bank! Olivia works 2 to 8 usually but other than that we like to watch tv and go on walks so we will be at the house often!! I send photos of pets and make sure the owner is at ease for the whole time we are there! I am very responsive to texts if there are any issues/updates. I am comfortable with kenneling dogs at night or having them sleep on the bed!

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Before returning to college, I attended PIMA Medical Institute in Denver and worked as a veterinary technician in both Colorado and Nebraska. I worked alongside multiple veterinarians at Banfield Pet Hospital throughout the Denver metro area and later at a rural veterinary practice and boarding facility in Mitchell, Nebraska. My veterinary experience gave me the opportunity to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'm comfortable administering oral, topical, eye, ear, and injectable medications (including insulin when prescribed), caring for senior pets, and following detailed care instructions for pets with medical needs. One of my favorite parts of working in the boarding facility was helping nervous pets feel comfortable. Being away from home can be stressful, and I loved taking the time to earn their trust—whether that meant sitting quietly with them, giving them extra affection, or even making up a silly little jingle while we spent time together. Watching a scared pet relax and begin to feel safe was one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Today, I'm a nontraditional college student and work part-time on campus, which allows me to offer dependable afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I provide regular updates, photos, and complimentary meet-and-greets so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, capable hands. Every pet deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved—even when their favorite people are away. I work part-time on my college campus during weekday mornings, so I'm generally available for afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. In the right circumstances I can squeeze in some morning visits. I enjoy building relationships with both pets and their owners, and I strive to provide dependable, consistent care. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk, medication, or a little extra company while you're away, I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that meets your needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. With my background as a veterinary technician, I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and recognizing changes in behavior or health that may need attention. I treat every home with respect and do my best to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible. You'll receive regular updates and photos, and I'll always communicate if I have any questions or concerns. I believe trust is earned through reliability, compassion, and treating every pet as the unique individual they are.

“Ashley is lovely! She is punctual, respectful, friendly, & absolutely loves our pup! She has done everything we’ve asked of her and is very helpful. Highly recommend her 😊”

About: Animals have always been an important part of our lives. We raised one of our dogs from an 8 week old puppy and adopted another from a shelter when she was estimated to be 1 to 2 years old, she was with us for over 17 years! We cared for them through every stage of life. That experience taught us the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and paying attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll care for your furry family member with the same love and attention we gave our own. I currently work part time, which gives me flexibility for dog walks, drop in visits, and house sitting. My schedule varies, but I’m available many afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m active and genuinely enjoy long walks, hikes, and spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or plenty of exercise, I’ll make sure they get the attention and activity they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I cared for my own two dogs for many years, raising one from a puppy and adopting the other from a shelter. I have experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, including senior dogs with changing needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home secure, provide regular updates and photos, and treat your pet with the same patience, love, and respect I gave my own dogs. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I worked as a Lincoln Children's Zoo volunteer for five years, from age 11 to about age 15-16! Cared for and handled all sorts of animals! Have also been a a go-to pet sitter for my neighbors for at least seven years, and am still happy to continue! I usually work closing shifts for my job on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but all weekdays I am available to check on your fur babies! Most of the time, I am scheduled to work at about 4 P.M, so any time during the day, I would love to come over! Love to play with pets, especially doggies! Will play outside/run around with them, send you photos to update you, even snuggle up on the couch with them if they're feeling tired!

About: I have grown up with big dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I have a big heart for animas all sizes. I have watched dogs and cats for numerous years for friends and family members I typically have an open morning schedule. I work at my other job from 2-10, so I would wake up whenever needed. I have Thursdays off which will my fullest availability. I am very mobile and able to come to you at your convenience. I have a one cat at home and he is declawed. I live in an apartment complex so coming to you is more convenient.

“Abigail always does so great with Pawley! He is shy at first with people he doesn’t see all the time, and she always makes sure to take the time to make him comfortable. We love being able to rely on her.”

“For a casual, last minute drop in to look in on Cassie on Mothers Day, Trish was extremely helpful and accomodating. She walked Cassie during her visit, kept notes, and sent a photo. Cassie seemed well pleased.”

About: I've dog sat for various families over the years. I've house sat 3 different times, and have experience with senior dogs needing extra care (medicine, cleaning, etc.) I also have experience watching up to three dogs at once. I have family and friends willing to assist me in case of emergencies, as well. I know some dog first aid, including CPR and Heimlich. Once I graduate from college and finish my summer classes in September, my schedule will be completely open! I don't have any regular weekly commitments, so I can spend as much time with your pet(s) as needed! I like to spend as much time with pets as possible, even if that just means sitting in the same room as them while we each do our own things.

“Sara is a great communicator and made our first Rover experience super comfortable.”

About: I have 8 1/2 years of grooming experience and have worked in a facility that had boarding and daycare! I helped in both departments many times of the almost 7 years I worked there. Not only do I have years of pet experience with working but I also have pets at home. I’ve loved animals my whole life! I’ve been blessed to have had experiences with animals in my life. Those experiences would include things from being able to work on my grandmothers farm in the summers to having my own pets while growing up. I work a full time job as a groomer but am free most Fridays and all Saturdays. As well as all day on Sundays. I’m open to anything after 5pm Mon-Thur. I have a 6 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and Bengal. My king Charles name is Isabella and she is a registered ESA. She is crate and potty trained. She also graduated a manners training class. While she is fully trained, we spoil our little girl. She gets lots of love and cuddles as well as being able to be with me at work every day. While at work she gets to meet many dogs and many breeds every day.

“Big thank you, Syble! We had a long vacation and Syble made sure that our indoor herd were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking her again for our next trip!”

About: Growing up on a farm, I learned early on that every animal deserves patience and a steady hand. I treat every pet as an equal, whether I’m bottle-feeding a newborn kitten, training a high-energy dog to run alongside me, or simply sitting in the sun to keep a senior pet company. Because I don’t have pets of my own right now, my schedule is completely open. They get 100% of my attention, 100% of the time. Working from home full-time gives me the ultimate flexibility to provide your pet with constant companionship.I have dedicated blocks in the morning, at noon, and in the evening for long walks, play sessions, and feedings. Your pet won't just be 'checked on'—they’ll be part of my daily flow. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their sense of security. I follow your 'house rules' to the letter to ensure their routine stays consistent. From refreshing water bowls and administering meds to high-energy play sessions, I handle every task with care. I also make sure your home stays exactly as you left it—secure, clean, and filled with a happy, well-exercised pet.

“Our Cali loves Levi! Levi was able to build a bond with Cali quicly. He took his time with her to build the trust between and now Xalu looks firward to his visits. Levi is very trustworthy, dependable and truly cares about Cali. I was most impressed by Levi when he alerted me to a tick sighting. It was after the visit but he still contacted me out of concern. Ihave been very i.pressed by Levi!”

About: I’ve mostly cared for bigger dogs with a lot of energy. I regularly look after my friend’s pets as well as my family’s. I have a dog of my own, she’s very active and friendly. I’ve had her for over a year and learned so much about dogs from being a pet parent. I got to school part-time but I still have quite a bit of time throughout the day for check-ins. The weekends are best for boarding. I like to do dog walking throughout the week. I spend most of my time at home so I don’t mind hosting at my home but I’ll also do care at a client’s home. I do not have a fenced in back yard but I live in an area with a lot of parks and open spaces. I do spend a lot of time outside so I’m comfortable with going out for multiple walks a day. I don’t provide treats of my own unless the owner asks me too or if they tell me what they’re okay with their pet eating. I don’t give pets food I’m eating because I don’t want them to choke or they could get sick.
