“Liz was dependable and followed all instructions perfectly. She also did a great job with staying in communication throughout her time as our pet sitter and left the pet with a clean and sanitary environment on the last day. We WILL be hiring Liz again! Thanks for everything and well done!”


About: I’ve had dogs and taken care of dogs my whole life, most recently my yellow lab Harper. I love all kinds of dogs, from small to large, puppy to elderly, shy to outgoing, I can’t wait to meet them all! I am completely free until June 12, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! Long term care may not be in the cards, but if you need someone in a pinch, I will be free. I have a large fenced in yard and plenty of space in the house to play! I also have experience from crate training dogs to letting them sleep in the bed :)

“Aaliyah was wonderful! She was available on very short notice when another rover canceled the day prior. She sent pictures daily of their walks and I can tell that Brady had a great time. I came home to a very happy puppers. Would absolutely use her again!”

“My first time using rover and Morgan just made it so easy and simple. She was so great to communicate with and work with and left great pictures and updates. I always feel so guilty to leave my babies and she made it effortless. Will definitely use Morgan again and thank you for such a great experience!”

About: I have grown up only knowing a life with a dog. I love caring for and playing with any type of dog! Along with taking care of my own dogs, I have been dog sitting for neighbors and friends for many years now. I work part time so on the days I work I would be gone for about 9 hours. My schedule varies but can be flexible just let me know! I keep the dogs company at the owners home and help them feel safe and happy in my presence! My dog personally loves cuddles and being right next to me to know that I am always there for him.
About: Hello, my name is Faith! I grew up around exceptional dogs and lifelong animal care through my mom’s award-winning breeding and show dog business. From puppy care to understanding different temperaments and routines, I’ve had hands-on experience my whole life — giving your dog attentive, knowledgeable, and personalized care in a safe, loving environment. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work a very flexible job just down the street from my home. This allows me to provide consistent attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m able to easily adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra exercise, training reinforcement, cuddle time, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while staying in their familiar home environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, training reinforcement, and plenty of affection — to keep stress low and tails wagging. With my background in dog handling and training, I pay close attention to behavior, safety, and individual needs while also keeping your home clean, respected, and secure. I provide dependable communication, photo updates, and personalized care so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced, caring hands.
About: I have had my own dog for a year and my parents have had a dog my whole life. I grew up around dogs and know how to care for them. I am working part time at the moment, afternoon works best. But depending on the days I could do some mornings and evenings. It all really depends on the day. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I will make sure any rules or requests you have are followed. Especially on walks!
About: I’ve had my wheaten terrier (Duke) for 12years, and my German shorthair (Charlie) just turned 7. They need constant walks constant attention and lots of love. Can be stubborn at times but that’s all part of the deal. Im a student at UNL going into my senior year. I’m not busy at all right now since it’s summer, and I thought that dog sitting would be a fun way to spend some time and make a few extra bucks. I have a fenced home with 2 dogs. Treat them with excellent care, I love walking my dogs and playing fetch with them in the backyard.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, helping with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure their pets feel safe and loved while they’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I am currently part-time employed but if you let me know in advance I’m available anytime weekday or weekends! Dog sitting is something I look forward to - not as a chore, so I am fully able to spend long hours if needed! I always prioritize safety and follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure on walks, supervised during play, and always in a safe environment. I often prefer caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them comfortable in a familiar space and helps reduce stress. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: My Fiancé and I have 3 dogs of our own. We have a 13 year old Terrior Mix, a 8 year old Yorkie and a 1 year old Lhasa Apso. We also have an 9 year old child here part time.

About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention.

I am a student so I have plenty of time! Specially on weekends. I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time
About: My passion for animals and love towards animals. I currently have 3 dogs two huskies and one lab mix. I’m super excited to start dog sitting because being with animals is my happy place! Please reach out if you need somewhere for your dog to stay while away or I can even come to you!! With my 3 dogs I have a daily routine. We wake up at 8am and they go outside and run around the fence while I get their first meal ready. They eat and then get kennel for 30 minutes to let food settle before playing again. They then have the whole day to play and do as they want along with an hour walk. We typically play fetch for at least an hour a day and then they get their second meal. I constantly make sure my dogs are happy and have something to do. Weather it be playing with toys or enrichment toys to get their energy and brain going. They get brushed daily, teeth brushed and walks. My dogs are my everything as I don’t have kids.
About: I am currently a pre-veterinarian student at UNL And have had the privilege to work with many animals through these years. Currently, I volunteer at the Lincoln Cat house working with incoming cats and assessing sicknesses. I also work for A-4 Animal Hospital and work with any animals from cats to dogs to hedgehogs! From these organizations I have learned a lot about animal husbandry and how to handle many types of pets. I also have worked with children since I was 16 years old and have learned a lot about time management from this that works a lot with dealing with animals. All these jobs have allowed me to grow with caring for others and other people’s pets and can’t wait to care for your pet next.
