“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”

“Vanessa did an amazing job with Lilo and Stitch. I could tell by the photos she sent they were very comfortable and happy to be around her. I will definitely book with her again!!!”

“Paloma was an outstanding dog sitter. She was extremely dependable and responsible, treated our home with respect, and truly fell in love with our two large dogs. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. When we returned, our home was left neat and tidy. We would absolutely use Paloma’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Emma was wonderful. We got pictures and updates each day about our dog Opal. She paid attention to details and communicated well. We would definitely use her in the future!”

“Kristi did an amazing job watching my three dogs! She was able to win over our nervous Nobu and they became best friends. She communicated throughout the day to provide pup-dates and shared pictures with progress. Will book for future!”

“Vanessa is amazing with my older yorkipoo and young cat. She is very communicative, sending photos and updates daily. I trust my home to be in better shape when I return, thanks to Vanessa’s care!”

“Linda was great with our two yappy dachshunds! She was courageous and took the two on several walks. We received multiple updates with pictures. Best of all, returned to a clean, neat house and 2 happy puppies! Highly recommend!”

“Gabrielle was amazing! I always worry about leaving our older dog, Bogey, he has anxiety issues and needs a lot of love and care. Gabby stayed in our home while my family and I were on vacation. She did an incredible job making sure Bogey went out when needed, she cleaned up any accidents he had, and the most important thing is she stayed the night in our home, which allowed Bogey to sleep in her bed and gave him comfort all night, as if I was home. I had zero concerns or issues while gone and I hope she’ll want to come back to watch Bogey for us again. Thank you so much!”


About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog sitter passionate about providing loving and attentive care for your furry friends. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, so I tailor my services to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay, I’m flexible and reliable, ensuring your pet gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I’d love to hear about your dog’s personality and preferences—let’s chat and make sure your pup feels right at home with me! Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are my preferred times for meet and greets, but I’m always happy to be flexible and accommodate other times when needed. I start my day early with a 5am job and work another job at 10pm, but I always make sure to set aside quality time for your pup! When dog sitting at my place or yours, I take days off from my night job so I can be there most of the time. I’ll still work my morning job, but only until 1pm, ensuring I’m available to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I have a dog too, so to keep both pets safe, I always make sure they have a proper introduction first. I’d never leave them alone together and will keep a close eye on your pup at all times! At night, we use a downstairs area connected to my bedroom for some quiet time. We also have a 4ft fenced backyard where your pup can run and play freely, plus plenty of toys to keep them entertained!
“Theresa will go above and beyond to make sure your home and animals are safe. Our pups love and trust her. We’re so grateful to have met her. We will 100% book again.”


About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable, punctual, and committed to providing consistent care that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, whether we’re on a walk, playing, or relaxing at home. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Kylene's a sweetheart! She was professional, friendly and communitave. She gave us updated information about our boys and would love to have her as one of our dog sitter when we come back to Omaha again.”

“If I had to describe the perfect dog/house sitter, I would just say that it's Alison! Alison & her fur baby "Lucy" stayed at my house for 11 days while I was out of town. She was the only person that I interviewed because I was so impressed with her. Not only did I like/trust her immediately but so did my very territorial Chihuahua, "Baby". I was especially surprised that Baby got along so well with her sweet dog Lucy. While I was gone, I was delighted to see photos/videos of Baby, and her new friend Lucy, every day. I came back to a clean house and a happy dog. I can tell that Baby is missing Lucy, so I have set up a play date(and will continue to do so). I am thrilled to have found Alison and take such comfort that I have her to take care of my house (and Baby) next time I leave town.”


About: Open to Reptiles, Rodents, and Aquatic Species!!! — Hello! I am going to school for Elementary Education and currently work during the week at a high school. I have one baby that I have during the week but would love to give love to fur babies on the weekends! Previously, I have cared for my dear Mickey (Black striped Tabby) who required IV fluids and oral medications along with specific feeding instructions. After my Mickey passed, I took care of three young foster cats. I helped adjust them to a loving home with automatic feeders, fresh water, and a clean litter box. They have all since been adopted through NALA! During the week I can provide drop-in care after school (I have class Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)! I can typically stay for around an hour depending on the needs of my clients. I have much more open availability in the weekends and can provide drop in care throughout the day. - For drop in care you can expect: -Cleaning litter boxes/litter area And/Or -Potty break and short outside stimulation (dedicated 30min or less typically) -refill of water or food as needed -quick check for accidents and any naughtiness -quality attention for friendly animals (dedicated 5-10 minutes typically) —————— —————— —————— I provide walking services, house-sitting, and can host a kitten on the weekends. I am free Friday to Monday evenings for house sitting and walks. I prefer to pick up any kittens I’m hosting at their home so we can get properly acquainted before they say goodbye! - For walks you can expect: -quick check for accidents and any naughtiness -potty time at home while adjusting -proper adjustment of leash/harness before walk and frequent checks during the walk -walk the whole dedicated time as discussed -will ONLY provide positive reinforcement, potentially with treats (must be provided) for correct behavior -hydration time after walk -return of dog to crate if needed - For house-sitting you can expect: -earliest check in on Friday evening (meeting with pet parents preferred) with latest checkout Monday -frequent potty breaks as needed and daily litter cleaning -clean water and food provided as instructed -walks during the day as needed -video check in with mom and dad if needed -picture updates twice daily (AM/PM updates) I expect to stay in a shared space with access to one bathroom and kitchen space (ex microwave). I will be spending the day making sure the animals know how loved they are!! As a student I may be working on homework occasionally but will always put our furry friends first! I am okay with cameras/video monitoring in shared space (not in bathroom) and will do my best to be accessible if there’s anything to communicate! - For cat boarding you can expect: -pickup (preferred) earliest Friday evening and drop off latest on Monday -safe transportation (crate buckled in or on the floor for maximum security) -Cat will have private enclosed bedroom about 200 square feet. (My family has dogs and cats but they will be completely separate and not allowed to interact) -Cat will have quiet, calm space with two bright windows and spaces to hide if they’d like. -depending on the cat I can provide minimal interaction (just at night and in the mornings) or I can play with them most of the day! -sanitary single-use litter in private, sanitized box -food and water as instructed (parents must provide any special food) -churu’s and treats provided unless specially provided -may interact with secured small 5 gallon aquarium with several small fish. (Enclosed and on stable shelf) -comfy bed with no cat or dog access during the week. (They may also use my baby’s clean twin bed haha!) -video check in with mom and dad as needed -picture updates twice daily (AM/PM) I have some other animals in my home but in my experience, animals prefer a calm, patient human when their parents are away. I usually bring a “grandma” presence everywhere I go. Whether that be watching a cat in my home or having a sleepover at a new friends house, what goes around comes around!
“Sierra was INCREDIBLE with our two boy cats while we are away. She was very responsive, very considerate, and we could tell the cats felt very safe with her. She is the best!”

“Linda is an absolute angel. Our rescue Fritz was diagnosed with heart worm disease recently and the vet appointment for his treatment happened to be when we needed to be out of state for my husband and I’s wedding. Our dog was a stray before we got him and has a difficult time warming up to people. We were searching high and low for someone who had experience with anxious dogs and caring for pets with medical needs and found reviews for Linda’s clients who also had pets who were shy or had medical needs. Linda not only kept up on all his medications but also took him to and from the vet for his appointment AND followed up with the vet after to ensure he was receiving the best care. I can’t begin to describe the blessing it was to know our furry son was taken care of and loved while we were away. She sent photos regularly and when I checked in (I tend to worry and check in a bunch) she responded immediately. When we got delayed on our trip home she did not hesitate to stay and keep him company. If you are a pet parent who loves your pet as if it were your only child, I promise you your pet will be in good hands with Linda.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, patience, and adaptability I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it a priority to learn and follow those closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with both young and senior pets, which means I’m comfortable handling very different energy levels and care requirements. For puppies and kittens, I focus on reinforcing positive habits like basic training, crate routines, and socialization, all while keeping things fun and consistent. I’m patient with accidents and understand that early stages require structure and encouragement. For senior pets, I provide a calmer, more attentive style of care. I’m mindful of mobility issues, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs. I also make sure they get gentle exercise and plenty of companionship without overexertion. Beyond that, I’m very detail-oriented and communicative. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I’m quick to notice any changes in behavior that might need attention. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a slower-moving senior companion, my goal is always the same: to provide reliable, thoughtful care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around consistency and reliability. I structure my days to make sure I have dedicated time blocks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so pets are never rushed or treated as an afterthought. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings to align with typical feeding and exercise schedules, and I leave flexibility in the middle of the day for walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention if a pet needs it. I’m very mindful of maintaining the routines pets are already used to, since that helps them feel secure and comfortable. Throughout the week, I manage my availability ისე I don’t overbook, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s regular visits or longer stays, I make sure I can be fully present and responsive to their needs. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan my routine around so I can provide consistent, dependable care. I tailor my care depending on whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, but in both cases my focus is on keeping their routine consistent, reducing stress, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals have space to relax as well as opportunities for play and exercise. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any training routines they’re used to. I supervise interactions carefully and make sure each pet gets individual attention, affection, and downtime. Cleanliness and safety are a priority, so I keep the space secure and free of hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and preferred activities, and I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and organized. Staying in their familiar space helps pets feel more at ease, especially those who are anxious or older. For both settings, I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. No matter the service, my goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.
