About: I have taken care of many family and friends dogs. I treat them like they’re mine own. I go out of my way to make them feel happy. I’m retired so my days and evenings are open to care for your pets. My hours are very flexible. Time with your pet will be the best part of my day. I love to walk, so your dog will get as much walking in as he or she wants. Their schedule will be my schedule. There are lots of dogs in my neighborhood, so your fur baby will meet new friends.

About: I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. As a dog owner myself, I know that pets are family, and I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. Whether your dog loves walks and playtime or would rather curl up on the couch and get some extra attention, I’m happy to adjust my care to what makes them happiest! I take instructions seriously and am happy to follow your pet’s feeding schedule, walking routine, medications, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so communication is very important to me. You can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away! My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for like one of my own! As a graduate student, my schedule offers flexibility throughout the week. I can work with pet parents to arrange walks and drop-in visits around both my schedule and their pet’s normal routine. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s needs beforehand so we can determine what schedule will work best for them. Safety is extremely important to me. Before caring for a new pet, I like to learn about their personality, normal routine, leash behavior, triggers, medical needs, and anything else that will help me provide the best possible care. I’m happy to do a Meet & Greet beforehand so that your pet can become familiar with me and we can go over their routine together.

About: Hello my name is Kirstin. I currently live in Lincoln NE. I have always loved animals no matter the species. I had previously work at a veterinarian office, as a kennel attendant and receptionist, so I'm not afraid of giving medication. I love to learn about new animals and any fun facts about them. I am also able and comfortable to give medication. I currently volunteer at what is called The Cat House. So I love caring for animals. I have been pet sitting for around 6 years for cats and dogs, but I'm willing to learn what it takes for other animals. I am comfortable with small and large animals and even ones that might be aggressive. I know that if an animal attacks me there was probably something I did to agitate them it usually is never the animal's fault. I currently work part-time, anywhere from 1:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. weekdays, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. all week, or 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays. All of this does depend on my part-time scheduling. If you have any questions on how I will care for your pet, don't hesitate to shoot me a question. I usually watch the dogs when I let them out into the yard unless the owner has stated otherwise. I carefully measure out the food given. Depending on the weather and usually will wipe dogs paws when they come inside. For any pets that require it, I always make sure to play with them to get physical energy out and to give them mental stimulation.

About: dogs are very important to me as i have been around them my entire life. i currently work at a dog kennel and as much as i enjoy cleaning up after and taking care of those dogs, i would love to have the opportunity to take care of more dogs outside of the kennel environment. my own dog is so very special to me. when i take him back to visit my parents, we have a total of four dogs running around! the smallest is around 10lbs and the biggest is around 85lbs, needless to say it’s crazy and fun! i currently work part time so i am very flexible with my schedule. i am happy to accommodate as much as i can to fit whatever needs you may have. i live in an apartment so as of now, i am not able to dog sit at my home. however, i am more than happy to commute to your residence to treat your dog as if they were my own. dogs have unique personalities and i am capable of accommodating special requests to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe with me as possible.

“Maria did a great job with our dogs!”

About: We have watched and cared for dogs for over 25 years. Our two small pups love to play and go for walks. Toys, beds and kennels provided. I currently work 20 hours per week and would love to care for your dog! My husband is home after 4 pm and enjoys playing with the pups when he is home. Our home is pet friendly with toys, beds, and kennels. We enjoy taking the dogs out several times throughout the day. Our dogs are under 25 pounds and friendly.

About: I’ve been Pet Sitting officially for seven years, I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life, I love animals I even major in it for college. During college, I started to take on more clients during the summer and I would manage 20+ clients during a summer. I have experience in taking care of small animals like aquariums and fish, two large animals like horses and goats. I have experience managing medications, special needs, multiple pets, special diets, etc. whatever you throw my way I will be up for :) I do work as a manager at a golf course, But my schedule varies and I have large gaps in my day where I will be able to take care of your pet. I am not opposed to getting up early to make sure I get a visit in before a shift, or coming there immediately after work to spend some time with your Pet. I always wanna make sure I spend as much time with a pet as possible and make sure they’re getting their needs all met. I am more than willing to take care of pets at their home, that is their space. I will always make sure I visit multiple times in a day, or if you are up for it, stay overnight with pets. I always make sure all the doors are secure before I leave, everything is clean and put in the place, I always check to make sure there’s no accidents or issues with the pets and their area depending if they kennel or not. I don’t like to leave unless pets have eaten and have had plenty of time to go outside, take a walk, play.

“I will always give Abbey 5 stars!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with 4 dogs of my own. I’m also a dog groomer, so I have knowledge on all sorts of dogs and their behaviors. My schedule is fully open right now so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets at any time of the day! I provide pet care in the client’s home, making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision.

About: I love animals and am committed to giving them enriching lives. While your pet is in my care, you can expect them to play a variety of brain-engaging games, eat out of puzzle feeders, and receive undivided love and affection! I work a very flexible job that allows me to fit in walks and drop-in visits whenever needed. There are no times that are too early or too late for my schedule! I will follow any procedures and protocols you have put in place for your pet. Your pet's routine is important to me and them! Animals thrive off of routine, so I will follow any directions you give to the letter.

“Alexus came early to play with Milo. She was very friendly and communicative. She left so many photos and expressed that showed her amazing work with my dog. She was amazing!!”

About: Hi! I’m Natalie, and I’m a huge animal lover who would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’m responsible, patient, and treat every animal like they’re my own. I also have my own Goldendoodle, Willow, who absolutely loves making new furry friends! She is very playful, gentle, and friendly and would be so excited to have a buddy to hang out with. Because Willow would be around during stays, I do ask that your dog is comfortable and friendly with other dogs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, give them lots of love and attention, and send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾🤍 I work as a CNA, but I have a flexible schedule because I’m able to sign up for shorter shifts that work around my availability. I’m very intentional about making sure I have plenty of time to care for pets, which allows me to come home and let dogs out for potty breaks, take them on walks, give them lots of attention, and spend time hanging out with them. I want to make sure every pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. 🐾 When your pet is staying with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved just like they’re at home. I’ll keep them on their normal routine as much as possible, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Since I have a flexible work schedule, I’m able to make time throughout the day to let them outside and give them attention rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My Goldendoodle, Willow, is also very friendly and loves having other dogs around, so your pup will have a fun little friend to keep them company! 🐾🤍

About: I’ve taken care of animals for my whole life. I had my tenth birthday party at our rescue in my hometown. I love animals and would love to take care of yours! I will have plenty of time to look after your pets! I love to go for walks and just play with your animals! I am pretty much open all weekdays and weekends! I would love to cuddle up on the couch with your pet and enjoy their company. I would also enjoy playing with your animal. I am a very clean and organized person. I am confident I would be the best person to take care of your house and your pets!

About: I’ve watched dogs for about 5 years of all ages and sizes. Ages from 1-13 and sizes from 15 pounds to 150 pounds. I love to get play and cuddle time since I moved away from my pup! I am a student in college with one part time job on Wednesday and Friday from 5:30 pm to 9 pm. I love the idea of a flexible schedule that will get me outside. I can dog sit in the clients home as I live in an apartment and can’t have pets at mine. I have a car if the distance is a bit further so I don’t mind going there.

“Ashley is amazing & is so flexible with my last minute walk requests. She's so patient with Ripley; even taught him how to shake with his other paw. 💜”

About: Most people babysit growing up, I was the local petsitter instead. Now I’m the go-to petsitter for my friends and colleagues, looking to help others! I have experience petsitting both cats and dogs! My main summer job is research, so the hours I’m available are very flexible. I make my own schedule so I can make myself available for most times! I’ve cared for lots of pets of varying age and need ranges, so I am equipped to do whatever is needed for pets to thrive while their owners are away. I am used to taking dogs on long walks or snuggling under a blanket, and I have two very particular cats of my own so I know how to get kitties eating, playing, and comfortable!

“Having Roger stop by to give Smudge a break was a great decision! He was very willing to meet up beforehand to make sure it would be a good fit. I appreciated his details in letting me know how things went. I will definitely be using his excellent service again! It puts my mind at peace to know my pup can get out on a nice day.”
