About: Owned dogs all my life with experience from puppy to end of life. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such I often work from home with a lot of flexibility. I am up early and stay up late so can be accommodating to many schedules I do not have a fenced yard, I leash walk animals regularly. Historically with my own dogs I have underground fencing. Safety and attention are my concerns for animals

About: I have traveled across the US as a horse groom, have 4 years experience with dogs and have worked at multiple board/train facilities. I ride western pleasure and currently working with my trainer to start foals. I grew up with beagles and currently have a pit bull and shepard mix at home! I mostly work in the morning at starbucks and have a lot of free time mid day. My riding is normally at night because of how my trainer has times set up I would prefer having the pets at the owners house. I have noticed a lot of pets dealing with anxious tendencies while at a board facility with other dogs.

About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was in jr high school. I currently have 1 dog 3 fish, and 2 humans I keep alive! I'm patient, I have lots of energy but also like to chill if that's what your pup would prefer! I've recently made some major lifestyle changes to make myself more flexible and accessible for my family! This gives me the chance to be available about anytime of day. I would love to meet you and your pets! At this point my calendar is fairly open, I am flexible and willing to work with moving and changing schedules. Most of my day involves school pick up and off and being a taxi to evening dance classes, which is easily done with or around the schedule of an extra furry friend or 2. We have 1 Brittany. She she has full use of all upstairs furniture, a fully enclosed backyard and probably too many snacks! They are happy to welcome new friends to sit on their sofas!

“Elizabeth has been great helping us with our two dogs one who is a puppy and potty training! We are so grateful for her!”

About: Grew up with dogs as a child, I would care for family and friends pets, caring for them as they will be part of my family I am semi retired right now, so my time is open to all kinds of playtime and walks so that the dogs have so much fun time daily I have a fenced in yard, I have a 7 year old golden retriever. There are tons of playtime throughout the day with tons of cuddle time

“Kendra was great! Very responsive and did exactly what was needed, even though it was a last-minute request from my side”

“Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.”

“Gabrielle did a great job taking care of our cat. She not only took care of her physical needs but also spent time with her so that she wouldn’t be as lonely while we were away.”

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets, making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks or playtime, and keeping pets safe and happy while their owners are away. I am very open to making it my responsibility and giving it my time and effort! I can’t wait to dedicate my time & love to your pets!♥️ I have had my own pup before, and I currently have two cats and they are extremely spoiled and loved! I also have a niece that’s a dog that I always am babysitting!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my deep love and understanding of dogs! I have two adorable toy poodles one is 2 years old and the other is just 8 months and they are truly my babies. Through raising them, I’ve gained a lot of experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. I’ve spent about a year in total attending training sessions to learn how to read dog behaviors, recognize their comfort levels, and train them with patience and love. I can tell when a dog is happy, nervous, or unsure, and I always make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’ve personally trained both of my dogs, and they are sweet, well-behaved pups thanks to the time and effort I’ve put in. I would treat your dogs just like I do mine—with kindness, attention, and lots of love! I also offer a safe and happy home environment with a fenced-in yard where dogs can play freely and securely. I work from home two days a week, so I’m able to keep an eye on your pet and provide care, snuggles, and playtime throughout the day. I know how important it is for pet parents to feel at ease when they’re away, and I promise to care for your dog like they’re part of the family. Whether they’re a playful puppy or a senior who just wants to relax, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. I currently work full time, but I’m usually available after 5:30 PM on weekdays to provide care, playtime, and attention to your pet. On weekends, I’m very flexible and available most of the time, which allows for longer visits, walks, or overnight stays if needed. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule to make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy. Two days a week, I work from home, which gives me even more flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. Whether that means letting them out for potty breaks, giving them one-on-one attention, or simply being there so they’re not alone, I’m able to provide a calm and caring environment. Since I already care for my own two dogs daily, routines like feeding, walking, and playtime are already built into my day. Adding more furry friends to that routine is something I truly look forward to it’s not just a task, but something I genuinely love doing! When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a fully fenced in yard where dogs can play and explore safely, along with a variety of dog toys and puzzles to keep them engaged and entertained. Inside, I have three separate rooms, which makes it easy to give dogs their own space if they need a break or prefer quiet time. Since I have two toy poodles of my own, I also have plenty of cozy blankets, beds, and enrichment toys to help make every dog feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the dog and their space with the utmost respect and care—just as I would hope someone would do in my own home. I follow all instructions provided, stick to the dog’s usual routine, and make sure to respect any house rules or preferences. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for in a familiar setting, while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family!

About: I’ve always had at least one animal since i was a child, I’ve worked as a kennel tech and I’ve been to vet school! I have a couple cats and a dog, they are my WORLD!! My dog had a bad life before I adopted him, and I completely trained him myself with very little help. He is a perfect, well behaved angel now! My schedule is pretty open! I am a stay at home wife and I’m in school, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I am thoroughly knowledgeable on all things dog safety related, my pooch has had a rough go at it so I’ve take courses on animal CPR, de-escalation training, and I am familiar with taking care of animals with health issues. Every pet is different and they all need varying levels of care and comfort requirements.

About: Trust that your fur baby will be taken care of as if they were my own. Possibility of becoming more spoiled. I can accommodate any specific needs including treats, toys, affection and attention. I started working at a doggy daycare and spa recently for more experience and exposure to these beautiful animals!! Sign up today! Currently working at a doggy daycare part time but let me know when you need service and I can work around it. Available most evenings. I would always come to your home so that your fur baby is most comfortable and accommodate any specific needs. Incorporating outings and walks as well.

About: I’ve enjoyed and cared for dogs of all sizes since I was old enough to walk, grew up with German Shepherds, Pit-bulls and a Pomeranian full of energy. I’m currently working remotely and have the flexibility to care for your pet anytime. I manage my schedule two weeks in advance making it a lot easier for everyone. For now I can only offer dog walking services, home-sitting, and day visits. My goal is to not disrupt their routine and help them stay calm while they enjoy some light activity.

About: I’ve been around large and small animals alike my entire life. I grew up on a farm where I cared for (and showed)horses, sheep, dogs, cats, a turtle, guinea pigs, and even (had) gerbils. I was active in 4H, FFA, county and state fairs where I showed my prize Appaloosa horse. During my college years I worked at a locally owned pet store in Kearney, Nebraska, which gave me even more hands on experience especially with a variety of small animals like snakes, birds and rabbits. I’ve always had a dog in my life (and cats) until recently when my Mastiff of 14 years passed away. My Mastiff was a rescue with extensive behavioral issues at first; however, after a year and a half of steady, consistent daily work and training, I am proud to say he passed the temperament test, did a complete 180, and I began taking him into nursing homes, where he was absolutely adored. So in short, I’ve worked with some challenging pet personalities but it makes it all worthwhile knowing I improved that animals life and can take the skills I’ve obtained and pay it forward. I also have extensive experience taking care of senior dogs and am quite familiar with the extra care they require whether that be assisting them up or down stairs, making sure there is plenty or traction where they’re walking, taking extra stops to rest on walks, and overall recognizing when they’re in pain or or not acting like themselves and adjusting any activities accordingly, and ensuring the owner is aware of any changes in personality, eating, drinking and/or potty breaks. Hello! I work part time remotely, so my schedule is very flexible which leaves me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and anything else your furry friend(s) need while you’re away! I have 2 cats currently so I would prefer to do any daycare at the client’s home, plus, I feel it’s less stressful on the animal if they’re in their own environment. However, in a pinch, I could certainly arrange to do boarding in my home as I have a large fenced in backyard and my cats could easily be placed in another area of my home. I also have a large (Great Dane size) crate from my beloved dog who passed recently, if a crate would be necessary. Whatever it takes to make your furbaby happy and as comfortable as can be, I’ll make sure it happens! When I am at your home, I’ll make it so that you don’t even know I was there aside from a tired pet(s). Trust and integrity is crucial when letting a stranger not only care for your animals but be in the home, and I firmly believe im establishing that trust by respecting your home and your rules. I live in the south Lincoln area, I drive and own my own vehicle, so can be anywhere in the Lincoln area within about 20-30 minutes. Also, if there was an emergency of any kind I would be able to transport your pet to your closest Veterinarian or wherever need be to ensure his/her wellbeing.

“Wr needed a dog/house sitter for a last minute trip. I didn't want just anyone, either. Ibqas so worried our dogs were just going to be let out 3-4 times a day, and not get any play time. That was not the case when I got on here and found Ashlee. She was simply amazing! She sent me pictures of our dogs multiple times a day, was always checking in with me. Our dogs usually have separation anxiety and they seemed to do just fine with her! She walked our dogs multiple times, spoiled the with treats, played with them outside for a while! We were very blessed to have found Ashlee. We liked her so much we booked her again when we went to a concert, and we have her potentially booked for our vacation in February! She is a fantastic dog/house sitter. Thanks again, Ashlee! ?”
