“I have been using Andrea and Edwin for awhile now and they are so wonderful to work with. I usually request them when I have to have my boyfriend’s dog with me for extended days, but they are still sending me pictures of my cat who wasn’t part of the request. They are efficient in communication and flexible in timing and if something comes up. Highly recommend them for your pet needs!”

About: Ive taken care of animals since before I can remember. All pets are given all the love I have to offer. I’m very gentle with older pets and always do my best to make sure they’re comfortable and pampered. I've got more free time on my hands than I know what to do with; so it would be no problem at all to take care of your pets! I make sure pets get regularly taken out, as well as making sure they’re happy and fed. I also get a little silly and play with them for hours!

About: My family has more than 20 years of pet care experience. We have also searched for boarding houses, so I know what pet parents want. A clean boarding house is good for the health of pets, and I clean and disinfect my house every day. My home is close to the park. We take them to the park every day. Exercise is good for the health of pets. I am a graphic designer and usually work at home, so I have more time for pet care. My daughter is a student right now at high school and after school, she can take them on a walk, so we have plenty of time to take care of them. I have a 6-foot fenced yard, also a whole basement for them. They can roam freely in the house, no smoking, and no little kids. I will check them every 2 hours to see if they need anything.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter and lifelong animal lover who would love to hang out and play with your fur babies and give them as much love as possible! I have several years experience working with local rescues and pet sitting cats and dogs of various sizes. I offer dog walking, drop in visits and house sitting! I have a hybrid work schedule which gives me flexibility to be with your pets more, and I take a lot of pride in knowing that most dogs I meet love me right away, I think because they know how much love I have for them! I am also fully vaccinated and live alone. I’m happy to answer any other questions you may have and look forward to speaking with you and meeting your sweet pets! I work a hybrid schedule, so I have a lot of availability to give your pets a ton of attention and have the flexibility to keep up your normal schedule! I do my best to make sure that your pets don’t have any change in their schedule (being away from their parents is hard enough without routine changes!)

About: I have had pets in my home since I was 5 years old and love caring for animals of every kind! For the past 5 years, I have extended my love for animals to my neighbors and friends. When they left town, they entrusted me to care for their plants, animals, and houses. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and cows! I am an engineering student and have class for most of the day. I have plenty of breaks between classes where I would have time to check on your pet (except Thursdays) and I am usually free at night. I cannot provide pet care in my own home, but I am flexible and a good learner, and I will communicate with you to ensure that your pets are taken care of the way you want them to be in your own home.

About: I have been babysitting dogs and cats since I was about 14 years old but I have owned dogs all my life and have helped train and take care of them. My specialty is big dogs such as great danes but I have taken care of dogs as small as yorkies. I can give medication to diabetic dogs as well as dogs that have seizures! I have classes in 4 hour increments a day so I am available in the mornings and at nights! My weekend schedule is incredibly flexible! I am an active person so running or walking with the dogs will be a breeze. I always think about how short they live and to make every second they're alive fun and exciting!

About: I grew up with pets my whole life. My family and friends have relied on me walk, feed, and house/dog sit when they are unavailable. My dog MJ, who passed in 2020, made one of the biggest impacts in my life, and if I can give more care and love to animals it would be very fulfilling. I am comfortable around pets of all ages, and will cater to each animals needs. It is always my aim to adore your pet as much as you do! My job is mostly remote and I do make my own schedule. So I will be able to easily cater to your pet care needs. I will respect your pets boundaries and cater to their needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved. All pets are different, and require different ways of caring for.

About: Even in childhood, I've loved animals. I decided when I was very young that I wanted to make a career out of rescuing abused, disabled, and neglected animals who need help; I still think about this dream today, at 20 years old. For all my life, I've had a dog, cat, or critter to come home to. I'm willing and able to go on walks, though prefer not to walk too much on days above 90 degrees Fahrenheit or below 30. As far as I'm concerned, I'm willing and able to do anything your animal may need. I care about every animal companion, and will do my best to make their lives as enjoyable as possible. I would even be willing to try caring for an animal that may act somewhat aggressive, as long as they don't have a history of serious injuries, seeing as I'm not trained to defuse an attitude such as that yet. I am also, of course, willing to care for your home through small time chores as long as I am there. Right now, I'm a sandwich slinger at Subway. Usually I only get morning shifts which are 3 hours on average, 6 hours tops. I would let you know if I'm going to be away for longer! Otherwise, I try not to leave my wards for more than 4-5 hours just out of caution. I generally prefer to petsit outside my home, since our pets aren't always awesome with new friends... but I'm always willing to come to your place, granted we (of course) meet beforehand so I can get a lay of the land and your pets can assess me. I will do my best to keep routines just the same for your pet, as well as ensure that the house is NOT messed up. I will keep in touch with you with pictures and updates! (Unless you don't need that, of course!)

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals on a farm—dogs, cats, horses, and even sheep—so caring for pets has always been a part of my life. My family currently has an Australian Labradoodle, and I also have a sweet 5-year-old cat named Eleanor, whom I adopted from a shelter when I was in college. Over the years, I’ve helped care for many friends’ and family’s pets, from energetic puppies to older, calmer animals. I adore all kinds of animals, especially dogs and cats, and enjoy both active playtime and gentle companionship. As a recent UNL graduate pursuing a health coach certification, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m excited to meet your furry friends and provide them with loving, reliable care! Since I’m currently studying for my health coach certification, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate consistent, quality time to pets—whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving them companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love making it a priority every day or week! I provide loving care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow your routines for feeding, playtime, and any special needs, ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to administer medications, give extra attention to senior pets, or engage energetic animals with active play. My goal is to make your pets feel loved and cared for in their familiar environment.

About: Born around lots of animals, including the GSD my mom bred many going to K9 programs and I would show them when I was little. Growing up, I was part of raising & training hunting dogs (Labs) & a seizure dog (Sheltie). As an adult I've had a GSD, Pomeranians and pitbulls (potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, basic commands like sit stay come - clicker method). I also learned some about senior care helping my friend who worked at Hearts United shelter for several years. I currently don't have any dogs, but have cats. I have minimal appointments (2 hour long weekly standing & sporadic others) and errands (school drop off and pickup) so I can be available to care for your pet nearly 24/7 Caring for your dog at your home, I would follow whatever routine, usual/best practices you have for them there. At my apartment, there is a large open grassy area right behind my building and a great walking/bike path, but it is NOT fenced so I would be taking out any dog myself on a leash. If I needed to leave my apartment for an appointment/errand and could not bring your dog along, I would want to crate to ensure there's no accidents while unsupervised in a strange environment.

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.
