Dog Sitting in Lincoln

About: Hi, I’m Avery and have been taking care of dogs my whole life! I’ve been in charge of training, walking, bathing, and caring for senior dogs. Not only have these been my dogs, but others that I have been a sitter for. I’m currently a student-athlete on the soccer team at University of Nebraska so the fall schedule while we are in season can get a little crazy. I currently have practices and classes during the week, but I frequently come home during the early afternoon and after dinner in between these events. I will always be home during the evening to take your pet on long walks or do whatever their favorite activity is! In my own home we never had a fence, so I am very comfortable with dogs both on and off the leash, whatever you prefer. I have also had dogs that are friendly with others and ones that are more aggressive, so I am used to handling both.

About: University of Nebraska-Lincoln Graduate in Companion Animal Science Professional Dog Trainer Since 2015 – Dedicated to training excellence Experienced in All Ages – Specializing in both senior care and puppy development Dog training is my full-time commitment, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to each client’s dog.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love to care for them. My current furry family consists of three cats, two dogs, and ten chickens. We love all animals over here! I work part time, remotely with flexible hours, this gives me plenty of time to be flexible with my schedule and care for your furry friends! My first priority is always safety. In caring for your pet(s) I ensure to keep them safe while having all the fun we can. I always love finding new ways to engage my pets in enriching activities.

About: As cliche as it sounds, taking care of pets isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds – from snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs of all sizes, to fish and cats, including elderly pets.🐶🐍🐰🐢🐱 I’ve been there for potty training, administering medication, grooming, scheduled feedings, and maintaining teeth hygiene. To me, animals are pure and down-to-earth, and deserve the same respect ❤️ I don’t do this just for the money – I do it because I genuinely care about animals. I’ve heard too many sad stories about boarding pets somewhere, not getting the care they deserve, and the excessive costs involved, and I want to change that. This home is as much theirs as it is mine. I offer a six-foot fully gated yard, big enough for several animals to bask in the sun or play with toys.🌤️ I have several dog beds (and furniture) with enough space to care for your babies. Even the smaller critters or pets that aren’t cats and dogs! I recently used Rover myself and was initially skeptical, worried, and just overall leery about the situation. 😅But it turned out to be a wonderful experience, and now I want others to have the same peace of mind and enjoyment. I want pet owners to feel confident that their animals are in good hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their own vacation, knowing their pets are having a great time too.☺️ And if I could, I’d give myself five out of five stars, rated highly by Forbes ⭐️for providing top notch safety and security to help ease your pet’s separation from you while you’re away. Don’t hesitate to text me on any questions, concerns, or just to chat about your pets. It’s a big decision to make who you can trust your animals with, and I am happy to help 🫶 The question is how do I fit pet care into my routine- but I don’t “fit it” into my routine. I follow my animals routine, and what they need to be their best self. I am make it a priority on managing potty breaks, feedings, treats, and everything in between. It especially helps that I am home most of my days, and wouldn’t mind more company ☺️ It’s not that I just want to “provide care.” I feel like anyone could do that, but it’s more of bonding with that animal. It’s learning their needs, routine, and having patience with them. My goal is for them to not view me as a complete stranger, and more as a good friend to have 💕With that being said- I would love to take your dog on a walk, feed them, grooming, playing, and giving all the love they deserve! If there is good communication and understanding, I would be happy to help with proper medication or medical needs as well 🩷

“Kayla was amazing! She took excellent care of my diabetic cat and provided feedback and pictures with every drop in. I felt completely at ease being gone with her taking care of him. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hello! I have grown up around animals my entire life. Personally, I have raised and trained one dog and have taken care of many others since I was a teenager. I have also owned two cats in my life, so I have plenty of experience and patience when it comes to felines. :) I have also owned a variety of reptiles and amphibians throughout the years. Caring for animals has always come very naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I treat every pet with the same attentiveness and respect that I would give my own. 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! 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.

“Trish is friendly, dependable, reliable, and trustworthy. She has helped me out a couple of times in last minute situations willingly and helpfully, adding greatly to my peace of mind. My dog Cassie looked happy in the check in photos and seemed to have been well cared for and looked after.”

About: I have experience with many different breeds, including reactive dogs and aggressive breeds. I have patience and understanding for every dog and their unique routines and behaviors. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was able to drive and I will provide an informed and easy going experience for your dog sitting needs as well. I’m currently working full time Monday through Thursday and I am available to pet sit extended time periods as well as short. Aside from having my weekends free to care for your fur baby I am also available to provide morning, noon, and evening walks and playtime sessions. Rest assured that when you’re gone your fur baby is receiving my full attention. I live in an apartment that is close to a walking and bike bath. My personal preference is taking the 10 minute drive to Holmes Lake and going for walks around that area.

About: As someone who works in the pet care industry and has three dogs of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra comfort and attention, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full time in the pet care industry, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! With at least a week’s notice, I’m able to make my schedule flexible to best meet the needs of your pet and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I currently offer care within my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I know how important consistency can be for animals, especially for shy pets, seniors, or pets who may become stressed in new environments. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, and comfort needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind during visits.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old, including feeding, walking, playing, and basic care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping them comfortable and well cared for. I’m currently in graduate school and have extra flexibility throughout my days, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I love staying active and enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping pets engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own space, keep the home tidy, and provide updates and photos to owners.

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.

I make sure doors are locked, routines are followed, and your furry friend stays safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.

About: I’ve had pets around for as long as I can remember. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I even have training experience with puppies. I have also taken care of special needs dogs before, including an epileptic dog, so I have lots of experience with animals that have special needs . I also worked at a wildlife rehab this past summer so I have experience with proper administration of eye meds, oral meds, and SQ injections in mammals. My family fosters dogs so I am familiar with all sorts of dogs. I’m currently a college student home for break. I’m majoring in fisheries and wildlife at UNL and plan to work in an animal related field in the future. I will have lots of time to care for all of your pets. I do have my own kitty at home, so I just need to make sure I have enough time to take care of him twice daily. I will mostly be focusing on your pets and what they need as this is my main summer job for now. I have house sat for clients and family/friends for years. I will be sure to do whatever it takes to fulfill your pet’s needs while you are away, keeping them happy, healthy, and safe.

About: I’ve had a very well rounded experience growing up with animals since my early childhood. Additionally I worked at Petsmart seven years, and three years in the petshotel boarding facility with both cats and dogs. This was a 24 hour care facility, which I learned the unique personalities of animals and interacted with a wide variety of breeds. I also cared for the cats, including play times, feedings and administering medication. I understand the importance of caring for each pet and ensuring they are comfortable. I feel I am extremely responsible and attentive, and will communicate with you while you’re away so you can have piece of mind knowing your pet is taken care of. I am open to taking walks/runs depending on the amount of exercise your dog needs. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

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.
