“We love how well Lance interacts & takes care of our cats. He, truly, is a cat whisperer. We think they like him more than they like us. Our youngest will NEVER sit on our lap. He sends pictures of her every day snuggled up on his lap. We can't figure it out. When we leave them, we don't worry about them because we know they are in good hands. Thank you, Lance, for your caring so much about their needs. We will see you next time we leave town.”
“We were nervous about leaving our three cats after moving here from out of state and having the same pet sitter for years. Linda put our mind at ease immediately especially about handling our diabetic cat. She is responsive and timely. We hope to hire again.”
“Danny is extremely kind, extremely communicative, and flexible and adaptable. He watched our baby in our home for about 6 days. A 2 month old kitten is somewhat by nature a high maintenance case with energy levels, cleaning and play needs etc and specifically our kitten made a bit of a mess and Danny was very proactive and helpful in that situation as well. Id be thrilled to trust Danny with our fur baby and home anytime.”
“Claudette was absolutely wonderful! They were very communicative and made us feel at ease, even getting to know the personality of our cat to enrich the visits.”
About: While I don’t have professional pet care experience yet, I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more in my own home as well as for family. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and spending quality time with animals. I’m responsible, gentle, and treat every pet like family. As a Resident Assistant, I have a flexible yet busy schedule, but I always make time for pet care! I’m available most evenings and weekends for drop-ins, walks, or boarding. I don’t have pets at home, so your dog will get my full attention. I’m careful on walks, stick to safe routes, and always follow your care instructions.
“Kendra was great! Very responsive and did exactly what was needed, even though it was a last-minute request from my side”
“Brittany was a perfect fit for us….her care was above and beyond! We will definitely request her in the future!”
“Sheri was amazing while I was away! She made sure to update me with pictures everytime, and Luka was definitely happy with the service as well! Will definitely be reaching out again for stays in the future.”
About: My name is Claire and I am a PA student at Creighton University! I am 26 and moved from Steamboat Springs, CO where I watched many furry friends through Rover and absolutely loved doing it! I am originally from Chicago and love doing anything outdoors such as skiing and running, but also love ending the day nice and cozy watching a movie or reading a book. More importantly, I love dogs of all ages and would love to care for your awesome dog! I had a labradoodle for 15 years growing up whom I adored and sadly cannot have a dog of my own at this stage of my life, but am looking for a buddy to care for to get my fix! I am responsible, organized, and easy going. I will provide very good care of your pet and give lots of pets, walks/runs, and love! I am free to answer all questions about scheduling and flexibility. I hope to hear from you soon! Your dog needs a good buddy while you are away and I really hope that person is me! I am a full time student in Omaha, but have lots of breaks throughout the day to give your pet lots of love! While school will be hectic, you can be assured that I will take your pet on a lot of exercise when I am home (If they are up for it) as it is a great break for me in my studies. I will feed, walk, and play with your pets! I love animals and live in a pet-friendly area where I have easy access to walking/running trails.
About: I have experience in owning my own animals since I was a kid. I had a childhood dog that I loved and adored! I also had ferrets and fish. On my 16th birthday I was gifted a Greek tortoise that I still have! Her name is Eleanor. I have two cats in my household and help to take care of them when needed. I’m currently working full time which consists of 4 10 hour shifts from Tuesday to Friday. So that would leave my most availability from Saturday to Monday. I am also flexible for any needs after 5 pm until 9pm during the rest of the week. I am only able to pet sit at clients home. Any safety measures already implemented at the home will be utilized. Anything else that is needed can be discussed before hand
“My fur baby loved Rachel! I had her come do drop ins at my house while I was on vacation. She sent me lots of pics and videos while I was away & she took care of locking my house back up and kept everything just how I left it. Definitely recommend! It’s hard to trust a stranger with your pet(s) but I will definitely be booking Rachel again.”

“Latrisha did such an amazing job. Very communicative and timely!! My fur baby was well taken care of! 10/10 do recommend”
About: Most of my experiences have been petsitting @ their homes, keeping the fubabies in their comfort zones. That way they have their own beds, toys and yards yet I welcome others into our home for us to love on. I enjoy the playing, sleeping, walking, and cuddling together. I look forward to sending daily pictures and updates to their parents. I provide honest and genuine caring and companionship to your babies. I'm available to pet sit over night, any night on the week at your home and would dog care in my home on weekend days/ nights. If you are looking for someone to love and care for your babies like you do, then I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones. I work from home and can work from anywhere. I can sit in your home, my home or even travel with for you if needed. I treat all animals as is they are my own. With patience, love, caring, and dedication. I vow to provide the best care possible. Thanks
“Madison is the best! Moose loves her! We appreciate her helping!”
About: I am a dedicated animal lover! I will do whatever the animal wants to do (except be bad.) I will take your dog for runs, play, take them to use the restroom, and feed them when they are supposed to be fed. I will create a bond with your buddy and make them want me back! I will love your animal like they are my own! I was previously in the military so I enjoy active dogs but lazy dogs are always fun too! My first and only priority is your furry friend. I appreciate all dogs, from big to small, no dog is too much to handle. Growing up, I had a boxer and two massiffs. They were completely different! One was lazy, one was playful, and the other was both! I still made sure they were full of life. We eventually ended up with puppies and I bottle fed every one of them when their mother was at the vet because she was sick. Animals are what keeps me going! I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! If you are uncomfortable with my daughter being around, I have no issue finding a babysitter! I have a fenced in yard and will be with your fur baby the whole time! I will make sure your pet has the time of their life by playing and focusing my attention on them!
“Ashley was amazing! She communicated very well, was prompt, and loved on my pets as if they were her own. It's refreshing to know you can leave your pets with someone responsible and trustworthy. She will definetly be my go-to pet sitter in thr future. I also enjoyed all the photos I recieved and if they had a question, she reached out, which is what I wanted her to do! Thanks again, Ashley!”
