Dog Sitting Papillion

About: I have volunteered with a PetSmart partner organization dedicated to rehoming cats. I worked directly in their adoption center providing daily care, socialization, and enrichment for the resident cats. In addition, I served as a foster parent for young kittens, giving them attentive, round-the-clock care, basic medical monitoring, and a safe, loving environment until they were ready for adoption. As a stay-at-home mom with two cats of my own, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine! Animal care is already a natural part of my morning and evening household flow. My day allows for flexible drop-in visits, feeding, and play, and having my own cats means keeping a safe, clean, and attentive routine for pets is second nature. Whether hosting in my home or doing drop-in visits, animal safety and personalized attention are my top priorities. For Boarding in My Home Safe Introductions: Since I have two cats of my own, I only board dogs that are verified to be calm, friendly, and comfortable around cats. Separation & Zones: I use dedicated spaces and baby gates to give both client pets and my own cats their own private, stress-free areas for feeding, sleeping, and quiet time. Seamless Daily Flow: Guest pets join directly into our daily routine with regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and constant supervision.

About: I have experience caring for all kinds of pets. I am able to provide care for all different ages, a good variety of breeds I am even able to care for dogs with various health concerns/medical needs. (Blind, allergies, deaf, post surgery, anxiety, etc.) I am very big on positive affirmations and reenforcing good behavior. I love training dogs! I think it can be a lot of fun. (Right now, I’m teaching sign language to both of my dogs. Our oldest is now deaf and has separation anxiety, so we’re working on basic commands.) I work in the mornings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and, Thursdays. Typically, my lessons run from 9-12. I teach swim lessons all year and set my own schedule. I have a fenced in back yard, that is big enough for the dogs to run around and play! We’re always outside during the warmer months. As long as they have a bowl of cold water, my dogs will stay outside until they choose to come in. In my home, there is a basement. It’s not very big, but it is a nice spot to retreat to. It’s a good space to relax in as there is little outside noise that gets in. (Our laundry room is in the basement. If we run the washer or the dryer during the 4th of July, you cant even hear the fireworks going off. This is a plus, for living with dogs).

“Jessica is incredible! She is so reliable, compassionate and great with our dogs. I appreciate everything she’s done for our pack and highly recommend her.”

About: Having a border collie as a family dog, I’m very knowledgeable in the importance of enrichment for certain breeds. Having just lost our family dog, I know very well the impact our pets have, they’re family and not just pets. I am currently self employed as an licensed esthetician and nail technician. I can make time when needed almost always. Let me know what you need and I'll be happy to deliver! I am very familiar with kenneling, big on environmental safety checks, as we know it only takes a few seconds or a minute for something to go unseen!

About: I have experience in training and animals handling. I have been called an animal whisperer. I am open to all pets even aggressive ones. I have experience in exotic pets as well. I am in college and I take care of animals in between my classes. This will not take away from my time spent with your animals and I will be fully focused on your pet while I am there. I have a large amount of experience with animal behavior. I can confidently and comfortably care for all types of animals regardless of temperament or aggression level. Your pet will always be safe with me.

About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs. I even took care of my senior childhood dog. I now have two dachshunds of my own. I also did some cat and dog sitting in high school. I love to go on walks and am looking forward to meeting new pet friends! I am currently working at Target as many hours as I can. My schedule is inconsistent and changes week from week. However, I’m willing to work around my work schedule to book with pets! I can take dogs out as much as needed, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them! Every pet is different! I will tend to their needs.

“Kristi is great and spent so much time with my kitty. She played with him a bunch and gave him all the snuggles he wanted. 10/10 and will be using her service again!”

“This was my first time using Rover for a cat sitter, and I am so glad I chose Alex to take care of my little girl. She was flexible, responsive, and went above and beyond during her time checking in with my cat. I would hands down recommend her to anyone with a pet!”

About: Hi, I'm Greg. I am a lifelong dog lover with extensive experience handling dogs of all shapes and sizes. From high-energy Huskies and Golden Retrievers to spirited Boston Terriers and patient giant breeds, I understand that every dog has unique physical and emotional needs.In 2024, I said goodbye to my beloved Newfoundland, Baloo. He left a massive hole in my heart, and caring for your four-legged family members is my favorite way to keep his loving spirit alive. I treat every guest with the same deep devotion, patience, and exceptional care that I gave m I am retired and have flexibility to manage 24/7 house sitting, extended day care, long adventures or a drop in for walks. I'm perfect for high-energy pups needing a lunch-break burnout walk or puppies requiring a mid-day potty relief. I follow your exact feeding, medication, and crating schedules to minimize your dog's anxiety. Your home security is important to me. I keep doors locked, bring in mail, turn on lights, and maintain a lived-in look for your safety. My Cleanliness Guarantee is that I will leave your home exactly as I found it (maybe cleaner), keeping paws wiped and messes completely cleaned. You will receive Real-Time Updates if requested. You will receive photo, video, and text updates during every single visit or overnight stay. I bring my own food and necessities, respecting your privacy and personal boundaries completely.

“King loved having Kelsey come help him out! I knew he was in good hands and the check in’s/notes helped me not to worry about him. Will definitely be reaching out for future visits.”

Sam K.

“This was my first time using Rover and Ashley made that experience fantastic! I’ve always been hesitant leaving my little buddy, so it can often limit my options for leaving town. Ashley offered a meet and greet before I even committed so that was nice. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely use her again.”

Mark W.

“We so appreciate that Skylar could drop in on our dogs for a last minute booking. They were happy and healthy when we got home! We will definitely be asking her to return for our next getaway.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old. This has allowed me to build up a variety of experience to meet all your pet’s needs! I initially started providing pet care through walk and potty breaks and have expanded from this to multiple-week long home stays. I have provided consistent care for 5 families, including 10 dogs. These dogs are of different sizes, breeds, and levels of care—everything from a Yorkie runt to an adult Great Dane. I can adapt to all of your needs, whether it be a strict schedule or just providing some love and attention. The most important thing to know about me is that I truly cherish every moment I spend with your furry friends. I have a big heart for animals and promise to always provide warm and loving care! :) I am a full-time student at UNL, which allows me a lot of free time to spend watching your pets. Since I am a student, class will always be a priority, but I still have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. If there are ever any changes, I will always communicate this to you ASAP. The first and most important thing I provide is compassion and kindness. You dog will be receiving plenty of belly rubs and pets under my care. I can also adapt from very active pets to those who just want to lay and relax. I have experience doing most pet care like walking, letting them out, playing, feeding, staying overnight, etc. I also appreciate when owners provide a schedule and list of any other important information like allergies, but this is flexible and up to the owner. I find that communication is very important so that there are clear expectations on both sides, ensuring the best care for your pets.

About: Hi there! I'm Ryan, and for the past 13 years, I've dedicated myself to caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. From laser focused hunting dogs to playful Lab puppies and sweet senior beagles, I’ve walked, played with, and nurtured them all. Whether your pup needs a high-energy run, a calm stroll, or some gentle companionship, I tailor each booking to suit their unique needs. I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible scheduling and prompt communication to keep things stress-free. I’ve worked with high-energy breeds that need structured outlets, young puppies just learning the ropes, and older dogs who appreciate a slower pace and a caring touch. You can trust that your furry family member will be treated with love, respect, and professionalism every step of the way. Let’s get your pup the exercise and attention they deserve! I currently have a very flexible schedule, I’m available all 7 days a week between 6:30 AM and 7:30 PM—even in bad weather. I believe in reliable care, rain or shine! I grew up with dogs and cats, so I understand how to create a safe, calm, and loving environment—even for high-energy or rowdy pets. You can trust that they’ll be treated like family!
