About: Hi there! I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and have cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I'm experienced, reliable, and truly love spending time with pets—whether it’s going for walks, playing with toys, or just keeping them company. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I have a natural confidence with animals, being calm and confident. I have grown up around all types and am very comfortable around pets. I am reliable and active, as well as responsible and timely. I will care for your pet as if they were my own! I have a very flexible work schedule and can pick my hours during the day, making me the perfect fit to watch your perfect pets! I can be available at all times of days for, especially early mornings and late at night, as well as the weekends and overnights. In My Home: I provide a safe, relaxed environment where pets can feel at home. I follow their usual routines, offer plenty of playtime, outdoor breaks, and quiet time for rest. Whether it’s couch snuggles or fetch in the yard, I make sure your pet feels comfortable, entertained, and cared for. In Your Home: I respect your home and your pet’s routine, making sure their day feels as normal and happy as possible while you’re away. I’ll keep them company, make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and send you regular updates so you have peace of mind.

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.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats of about 10 years! Feeding, watering, walking and spending quality time with pets is something I find rewarding and enjoyable and I look forward to taking care of your furry friends! I currently work full time, but my schedule allows me flexibility in the early mornings, some evenings, and on weekends. I already care for my three cats daily, so fitting in additional pet care is a natural extension of my routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize their safety and comfort. I follow any specific instructions you provide, ensuring routines stay consistent and familiar. I keep the environment calm and secure, ensuring doors and windows are closed and pets are safely contained. I’ll also take care to maintain their favorite spots, whether it’s a cozy bed or a quiet room where they feel relaxed. Trust is key, so I make sure to always communicate and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you're away!

“Chloe is absolutely fabulous! We were looking for someone close by the house to do early mornings, and found a true gem! All four animals loved her, and she was excellent at communication. She sent us several pictures every morning, and videos.”


“Our dog is so happy that we found Deanna. He is hoping she’ll play fetch again with him again before long. Great job and highly recommend. Deanna even brought treats for us and our dog. So sweet!”


“Katie is our very favorite! She has become part of Tuesday’s (our dog) family! Tuesday loves when Katie and friends come to play and romp in our backyard and even pivoted to walks when our back fence was down. Katie is so easy to communicate with, is flexible, caring, and leaves such fun notes! She’s very engaged and funny. We will return to Katie any chance we can! Highly recommended!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Elizabeth & Nathan S.
“I’ll be booking Elizabeth again and again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have four dogs with very different needs, and Elizabeth handled them all with care, love, and professionalism. My senior dachshund requires daily medication for back pain and arthritis, plus close monitoring for anxiety and special feeding instructions. I also have two rambunctious 5-month-old dachshund puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, so they need lots of supervision and trips outside. My cattle dog is pretty easygoing, but still part of the pack! Elizabeth took care of all of them for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent me updates and photos every single day, which helped so much with my anxiety about leaving them. I felt completely at peace knowing they were in her care. It was clear from the beginning that she’s a true dog lover—she treated my pups like her own. The fact that she has experience caring for a dog with medical needs was a huge plus and gave me so much confidence that my senior dog would be in capable hands. I’m incredibly grateful for Elizabeth’s attention to detail, calm presence, and the genuine affection she showed my dogs. I already booked her again and will continue to do so anytime I need help. Highly, highly recommend!”


Heidi E.
“I have known Heidi for several years now. Throughout the years she has extensive knowledge on several different species of animals for growing up on a farm to adopting several dogs and cats. Regardless of what animal is in her care, Heidi always treats the fur baby as if it is her own fur baby. Her care includes all the basics plus lots of okay time and cuddles. There is no other person in the world I trust with my two fur babies more than Heidi!”

Porter Ridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
I cannot say enough great things about Mikayla! She took awesome care of our very shy older sweet kitty and got her thru the terrible fireworks in our neighborhood! Mikayla knows exactly how to soothe and cuddle and feed and care for her and she is always afraid of everyone! Mikayla is also a rockstar with updates and pictures and immediately communicates with us always! We will highly recommend her to anyone who needs that extra special care for their pet that Mikayla always knows how to do!! Mikayla is awesome!

Reagan is honestly the greatest. Prompt, a good communicator, extremely kind, and very accommodating are just some of the things I love about her. When she stayed overnight in my home she left it cleaner than I did! I have many pets and she followed all directions perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for everything, Reagan ♥️ hope to see you soon!
