“Abby was wonderful!! Very communicative and followed everything we asked. She even did some training with our dog! Doggie seemed so happy in all the pictures too. Will definitely book her again!”


“Caring, loving, thoughtful! Kirstin was a godsend when we traveled overseas and took care of our dogs. She kept us informed through WhatsApp. We so appreciated her loving care for our dogs.”


“First time rover user and didn't know what to expect. Very impressed with Eric. Did more than I would have hoped in terms of caring for my dog. Will ask him again when I need someone!”


“Mya was attentive to all of our pets, and did a great job of communicating questions or issues to us in a timely manner. The house was just as we had left it. We had zero concerns about her ability to care for our animals. She is responsible and showed up when she said she would be there. Definitely will have Mya house-sit for us again.”


“Both kitties seemed to be unfazed by my absence, which speaks to Ashley's care and attention. I really appreciated the pics too! I am very grateful to have found someone that I can rely on while away from home.”


“Ella did a super job of taking care of our 2 cats. She was very helpful with the special medical care and feeding for our hyperthyroid cat and her sister. We were able to go on a long vacation because we had confidence that our beloved pets would be ok. She also took great care of all the outdoor plants, and other household needs. We will definitely have her come back again to house sit for us.”


“Kayla was great with Blue, who can be a handful. She played with Blue and took great care of her while we were gone. And Blue was exhausted after she left. Which is the best!!”


“Kalob was very professional, courteous and punctual too. Scout enjoyed his time with Kalob and he even brought Scout treats! I would definitely have him watch Scout again!”


About: I’m Elizabeth and this is my baby-boy Umbra, a 3yr old Australian Shepherd. I love dogs, grew up with them, and when it came to purchasing a home, thought about my future dogs first… no, seriously! We have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Just a block away, we have a lovely wooded area for afternoon walks. Experience - My husband Nathan and I have taken Puppy, Adolescence, and Obedience 1, 2, and 3 training through Greater Lincoln Obedience Club - I was an Assistant Instructor for Obedience 1 - Volunteer dog walker at the Capital Humane Society - I've completed Grooming courses 1 and 2 through Kenl Inn - Pet First Aid course through Kenl Inn - Pet Massage course through SCC continuing education Umbra's Story Umbra is a high-energy, working breed so we got him into dog sports! He loved Agility 1, 2, and 3 until the teeter totter became too scary. We switched over to Flyball and self-taught Dock Diving. Because of his health, we’ve swapped dog sports for trick and sniff training. To keep him active and social we frequent dog parks, Offleash Dog Bar, and dog friendly stores and restaurants. He comes with us everywhere he can, and we’ve taken vacations just for him! When Umbra was a pup, we noticed abnormalities with his eating patterns and stool. For a year, we worked closely with our vet and uncovered severe food allergies, gastroenteritis, and a vitamin deficiency. Thanks to a restricted diet including daily vitamins and probiotics his tummy is doing well! When he was neutered, hip laxity was discovered that would eventually lead to arthritic symptoms. To give him a pain free life as along as possible, we added another daily supplement, started weekly water therapy, and were instructed to administer a monthly subcutaneous shot (Nathan handles the needle). It was discovering his enlarged heart that put an end to dog sports, but he still lives a fulfilling life. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My day is already structured to include a minimum of 3 exercise / play sessions a day for 30-60mins each. Umbra is well socialized and loves large and small dogs. He would love for your pup to visit! Your dog will receive plenty exercise and play, belly rubs, neighborhood walks, and approved outings and treats. We have toys, puzzle games, and snuffling and lick toys for them to engage with. If they need a contained break, we have crates and a playpen to block off larger spaces. You will receive lots of photos and the comfort of knowing your pet is well cared for. For dog's staying in their own home, just let me know their routine and any special needs.

“Dom was great! Everything was perfect when we got home after 4 days. He sent a lot of pics of my 2 older cats. My scaredycat even liked Dom on the first day, which is saying a lot. Highly recommended, hope to use again!”


About: I have taken care of all animals of many different sizes since I was very young. I love all animals and would be happy to help you out with yours! I also work at a vet clinic and have lots of experience. I am currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am free nights and weekends as well. I have a very large backyard and a very friendly dog at my house. It is a very pet friendly house with two cats as well.

“Ella took care of our pets for a week. Upon first meeting her via the video chat, she was easy to communicate with and followed through on calling at the set up time to call. She also came in person to meet our pets and get the care run down on time. She was friendly and professional. She clearly communicated her schedule and plan for letting our dog out. She stayed at our home over the week and we came back to everything looking the same. The only thing I would have liked was a little quicker response to texts (initially it took a little longer than expected to her if she was available) and more frequent check-ins with pet pictures would have been nice. But otherwise we really appreciated her care of our pets and will check to see if she is available again in the future.”


About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Canada. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.

“Bonded quickly with our dog. Very responsible and trustworthy. Kindra stayed at our house for almost 2 weeks and sent us daily updates and pictures. She was awesome and plan to use her again later in the year!”


About: I have been in the pet industry since 2020 & have watched many dogs/cats over the years as well as reptiles. I love seeing how excited dogs get to see you & when a cat comes out of their hiding spot to eat their dinner! I have 3 cats of my own currently & had family dogs growing up but my apartment isn’t a good size for a dog right now. I currently have a job that varies on hours throughout the week but I am available most mornings/nights to take them out to the bathroom & provide food/water. I can also do dog walking almost every day of the week. I currently have 3 cats & they get wet food/dry daily and are also provided a clean water fountain that is replenished daily. I play with them as much as I can every day & they have a huge multi-level cat tree that they love so much.

About: I'm Ryleigh! Born and raised to love animals, an animal lover at heart! I have a cat of my own. Grew up with animals and volunteered at a shelter for several years. I've been told I'm an excellent worker. I live by a trail and enjoy being active, my work schedule is 6am to 2pm, I've had both dogs and cats, rabbits, gerbils and a few squirrels. I'm looking for a little extra money and working with animals has always been a passion, and nothing's better than doing what you love! I work full time 6am to 2pm, but have the whole afternoon/evening to tend to animal care, walks, and plenty of affection for your pup. I live in a decently sized apartment and I do have a trail right next to me for walks, along with several parks close by.

“Kalob was very professional, courteous and punctual too. Scout enjoyed his time with Kalob and he even brought Scout treats! I would definitely have him watch Scout again!”


Elizabeth & Nathan S.
“Over the years, I’ve had Elizabeth and her husband watch my Aussie probably a dozen times and they’re the only ones I really trust. They have a Aussie of their own so they really understand the idiosyncrasies that make an Aussie an Aussie. From the constant eye-contact to bottomless wells of energy, they get it. I get plenty of updates too, from texts to photos and videos. I never worry about him because I know he’s in good hands, and is being treated like a member of the family, not a guest. Highly recommend!”

Nathan S.Star Sitter
“I lived with Nate for a few years, and that entire time he had his own dog named Bella that was just the happiest and sweetest dog ever. That’s a reflection in how Nate treated her and how much he loved her. Honestly, she was probably treated better than some people treat their kids. He’s going to love any pet he comes across during his time as a caregiver, and they’re going to love him just as much.”


Ashlley A.

“Ashlley is such a wonderful sitter. My boys just adore her. When we got home they all had on little ties and were so proud and cute. Ashlley is our go to gal from now on”

Sabrina P.
“I can’t thank Sabrina enough for taking care of my 2 cats and leopard gecko while I was away! She treated my pets like her own, making sure they had the proper care, love, and attention. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands while I was away. I highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy pet sitter.”
