Dog Walkers in Prairie Home, NE

“Hondo loved the walk. Was very tired after”

Joe B.

About: I've grown up with large and small dogs always around me, which gave me early insight into pet behaviors and tendencies to always be aware of. From puppy training to senior pet care, I’ve experienced all types of age ranges and requirements needed depending on the breed or size, so any additional requirements of service can be fulfilled when needed. I experience a great amount of joy with every new animal I meet and see! When caring for another’s pet, I can guarantee that I will treat yours with the love and respect that I give to my own. As a student there are classes during the school year that I do have to work around; but I still can accept any day in most cases. My classes are done early most days, so working around them is not an issue. In my own home I have an active dog who requires daily walks, and lots of playtime. I have also dealt with more timid and anxious dogs, so I have a good understanding of the different ways dogs may need to be treated. In most cases, I would just ask the dogs owner anything that may be valuable information in regards to their pet and how the owner prefers them to interacted with.

“Eric did great with my dog. Awesome at the meet and greet before hand and really showed he cared about my dog with photo updates. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been in the pet industry since 2020 & have watched many dogs/cats over the years as well as reptiles. I love seeing how excited dogs get to see you & when a cat comes out of their hiding spot to eat their dinner! I have 3 cats of my own currently & had family dogs growing up but my apartment isn’t a good size for a dog right now. I currently have a job that varies on hours throughout the week but I am available most mornings/nights to take them out to the bathroom & provide food/water. I can also do dog walking almost every day of the week. I currently have 3 cats & they get wet food/dry daily and are also provided a clean water fountain that is replenished daily. I play with them as much as I can every day & they have a huge multi-level cat tree that they love so much.

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: As cliche as it sounds, taking care of pets isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds – from snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs of all sizes, to fish and cats, including elderly pets.🐶🐍🐰🐢🐱 I’ve been there for potty training, administering medication, grooming, scheduled feedings, and maintaining teeth hygiene. To me, animals are pure and down-to-earth, and deserve the same respect ❤️ I don’t do this just for the money – I do it because I genuinely care about animals. I’ve heard too many sad stories about boarding pets somewhere, not getting the care they deserve, and the excessive costs involved, and I want to change that. This home is as much theirs as it is mine. I offer a six-foot fully gated yard, big enough for several animals to bask in the sun or play with toys.🌤️ I have several dog beds (and furniture) with enough space to care for your babies. Even the smaller critters or pets that aren’t cats and dogs! I recently used Rover myself and was initially skeptical, worried, and just overall leery about the situation. 😅But it turned out to be a wonderful experience, and now I want others to have the same peace of mind and enjoyment. I want pet owners to feel confident that their animals are in good hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their own vacation, knowing their pets are having a great time too.☺️ And if I could, I’d give myself five out of five stars, rated highly by Forbes ⭐️for providing top notch safety and security to help ease your pet’s separation from you while you’re away. Don’t hesitate to text me on any questions, concerns, or just to chat about your pets. It’s a big decision to make who you can trust your animals with, and I am happy to help 🫶 The question is how do I fit pet care into my routine- but I don’t “fit it” into my routine. I follow my animals routine, and what they need to be their best self. I am make it a priority on managing potty breaks, feedings, treats, and everything in between. It especially helps that I am home most of my days, and wouldn’t mind more company ☺️ It’s not that I just want to “provide care.” I feel like anyone could do that, but it’s more of bonding with that animal. It’s learning their needs, routine, and having patience with them. My goal is for them to not view me as a complete stranger, and more as a good friend to have 💕With that being said- I would love to take your dog on a walk, feed them, grooming, playing, and giving all the love they deserve! If there is good communication and understanding, I would be happy to help with proper medication or medical needs as well 🩷

“Amanda has been amazing with our puppy. She has gone above and beyond to make sure our little guy is taken care of. We have been using her for two weeks now and appreciate all her help and time.”

About: I have had pets my entire life and have taken care of family friends dogs before. My dogs are rescues, so that is training on its own. When family is out of town I take care of theirs, that includes my aunt and uncle, grandparents, and more. I'm a pretty flexible person, I like being up early and I don't mind driving to come take care of animals. I do work a lot, meaning i'll be out and about and am always down to come see some animals. I also love taking animals on a good walk!! I am huge on love and attention, making sure that they are well kept. My dogs are a little too loved, they really love their treats. But I am respectful of all owners rules for their animals and will take care of them to the best of my ability as if the owners weren't gone.

“Ella is wonderful with our senior dog! We love the daily updates with her walks and love knowing she is taken care of in the afternoon while we are working”

“I highly recommend Madison! She was punctual, reliable, and genuinely care about my dog. My pup got so excited for her arrive for their walk. She provided great updates, including pictures and notes about how the walk went. It's clear that they love what they do and truly understand how to handle dogs with care and patience. I feel confident and at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 12. I was always first the person my extended family would ask to watch their pets whenever they went on a vacation or needed extra help. I am most familiar with hunting/sporting breeds, but I am open to meeting all kinds of dogs! I am currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty open. I will be available Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, as well as some evenings. I am more than willing to come over to help let your pup out, feed them, play with them, and help assist with any other tasks if needed. I am a fairly active person and I enjoy going on long walks with my dog, Remy, and hopefully in the future your dog as well!

“Rachel has been walking my dog while I recover from surgery. Rachel was attentive to my instructions and learning about my dog. Talyn was comfortable with her right away and quickly started looking forward to Rachel’s visits. She is both personable and reliable.”

In your home I will first speak with owner and figure out pets routine and their favorite spots around the house and which areas are off limits, I will get familiar with the home as well. I don’t plan on having any pets over as I do live in a small apartment but if that be the case at any time, I will speak with owner and make sure I have all the essentials for their pet to have a welcoming and comfortable stay.

About: I’ve never NOT had a pet. Growing up I have always had dogs! Now that my parents have moved, I have been missing my pups. I have taken care of neighbors pets for years as well as house and pet sitting for some family members & coworkers over the years. I am currently a college student, I have one class currently from 11-11:50 on mon-thurs, I do take other classes online! I do tend to run around a lot but majority of my time would be with the pets! When caring for pets, safety and trust are paramount. In my home or the client's, I always ensure pets have a safe, comfortable environment, and all their needs are met. I keep all harmful objects out of reach, provide plenty of playtime when i’m home, and stick to their feeding and walking schedules. And of course, lots of love and cuddles are always included! 🐾

I give 110% of my attention, animals deserve the relationship and bond with us and especially if I am with them for a shorter amount of time I want them to have the full experience and joy!

About: I began taking care of dogs at the age of 7, beginning with a well-loved family beagle. I’ve spent many years since then taking care of friends and neighbors pets including walking, boarding, and sitting. I had the amazing opportunity and most beautiful experience to own a basset hound for 13 years (age 2-15), gaining insight to senior dog care, specifically arthritis, infections, medication management, and balance/movement inability. Additionally, I grew up caring for rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, geckos, and snakes - currently I am a mom of two lovely guinea pigs - and have extensive experience caring for many different pets with many different needs. I currently work full-time in office with an hour lunch break I am able to take any time to ensure your fur baby receives any bathroom breaks, walks, meals, medications, cuddles, or playtime needed during the day. I have open availability on the weekends. Additionally, when house sitting, I am able to spend all day during the weekends at your home, as well as mornings, evenings, and nights on weekdays depending on your pet’s needs. I have experience walking all sizes of dogs on leash, as well as multiple dogs at a time (including getting harnesses, collars, and leashes on dogs). Additionally, I will ensure all pets only receive their proper diet and any other food or unsafe items are kept in safe locations out of the pet’s reach. I also have reliable transportation to bring your pet to any parks, dog bars, dog parks, or anywhere wanted/needed by you and will work with you to make sure all proper safety measures are taken to provide a safe transport for your pet.
