“Kayla sent daily updates with photos and our shy girl warmed up to her quickly. She was kind and easy to work with. I felt confident that my cats were in good hands while I was away.”
“We did a second booking for a quick weekend road trip. Gabby stopped by to get the key and the cats definitely remembered her and were happy to see her. Gabby communicated about schedule changes and the cats well-being as things came up - when our cat had an upset tummy, she let us know and did clean up without me having to ask.”
“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! ?”

About: I grew up in a home for rescues and have loved every pet. I adore caring for animals. I'm 19, but have trained almost every dog (out of 7) that I've had. I am extremely flexible, if I have about a day or two notice, I can do just about anything your fur baby needs me for. I would not offer services in my home due to a shy pet of my own.

“100% WOULD RECOMMEND AGAIN! Dom takes such good care of our boys! Our babies are very needy & have abandonment issues. They are only comfortable in their own home with their routines. We have very specific care instructions & one of ours needs medication and he fights it. Dom is consistent and he truly care about our boys’ health and wellbeing while we’re gone. We repeatedly choose Dom time after time because of his great communication, consistency, & level of quality care! Thank you again Dom, you’re the best!”

I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and special needs. My home is pet-friendly, and I’m also happy to travel to yours for drop-ins or overnight stays. I currently teach at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, and my summer schedule is very flexible. I work remotely often, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pet during the day. Whether it’s check-ins, walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I can easily fit pet care into my routine and make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve.

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.
About: I have experience in owning my own animals since I was a kid. I had a childhood dog that I loved and adored! I also had ferrets and fish. On my 16th birthday I was gifted a Greek tortoise that I still have! Her name is Eleanor. I have two cats in my household and help to take care of them when needed. I’m currently working full time which consists of 4 10 hour shifts from Tuesday to Friday. So that would leave my most availability from Saturday to Monday. I am also flexible for any needs after 5 pm until 9pm during the rest of the week. I am only able to pet sit at clients home. Any safety measures already implemented at the home will be utilized. Anything else that is needed can be discussed before hand
About: My parents would take me to their friends houses growing up and if they couldn’t find me they would look for the family pet and know that’s where I would probably be. I grew up riding horses, have dogs, and going to families farms. I have such a love for animals and understand the deep bond and support they provide people. I dog sit rescues who need some time warming up to very energetic pups! I feel really comfortable with all sizes and kinds of dogs and take feedback about how to support individual animals seriously! I work in schools and am off between 3 - 5 weekly. Fridays I have a lot of flexibility and can work from home which makes walks, letting pups out, or a check-in easy on Fridays! I usually go to homes! If you’re comfortable with your pup staying with me I have a very friendly love pup named Frederick who would love to be your pups best friend!
“Heather was amazing! I was very nervous leaving my cats with someone I didn’t know, but Heather reassured me they would be very well taken care of, and i was not disappointed, I could tell my cats were already comfortable around her, and she was very responsive! Highly recommend!”
About: Thank you for taking the time to consider me! My name is Tawni , I am 26 years old and I have lived in the Midwest my entire life. Small towns are my life just as much as the fur babies that come with them. I am a punctual and hard-working sitter, with experience in adminstration of oral medicines and also working with elderly dogs. Their comfort is everything to me, which is why I loved to take care of them within the home. You won't have anything to worry about as I am extremely organized and prefer to plan schedules to keep consistency for your pet while you're away. Cats and dogs are only on the top of my list, I also am completely comfortable taking care of reptiles or amphibians aswell as small pocket pets and birds. I have worked alongside a rescue before and also have great references of past employers. I have been sitting for the same couple for awhile now. Currently I am unemployed and hoping to make pet-sitting a full time job for myself. I am available at all times and typically prefer staying within the home to make the animals as comfortable as possible. Pets within clients' homes are treated like they were my own. I love getting to know their individual personalities and filling their day with attention, affection, and play. I do not currently host animals within my home since I have my own cat and only live in a studio apartment which does not have a yard.

I will keep them active and play with them but also give them plenty of loves!

Hattie B.
“Both our dogs are rescues. Penelope was attention deprived and fed very little and Beatrice aka Little One was in a hoarded situation, never allowed out of her kennel and put in a kennel too small for her and starved. We got both dogs at different times, but Hattie was the first to greet them when they arrived. Penelope was very curious and wanted to sniff everything! The first night we had her, it started to storm, Hattie sat with her in the living room all night comforting her so she knew she was safe. She helped to get her comfortable on a leash and made sure she had treats every time she took her out. Beatrice was a mess when she came to us! She hadn't been in town more than a few hours and wanted to bark at everyone and everything she saw. The volunteers who brought her over said she was aggressive with them but Hattie had the magical touch! When Hattie took her out to go to the bathroom, Little One instantly liked her! She listened, she went out, she took the treat willing from her and got excited to walk and sniff around. Little One had never take stairs before, so Hattie took the time to show her how to walk up and down the stairs until she was comfortable. And, our cats could never get enough Hattie snuggles. They would lay with her on the couch, snuggle in bed with her and always make sure to come get the belly rubs, chin scratches and greet Hattie whenever she was around.”

“Tawni is a wonderful pet sitter. Very professional, very caring towards our pet. She is great at giving medicine when needed and offering any special care an elderly pet may need. Super reliable, loves animals. I can leave town without worrying about our pet now that I have found Tawni. Very trustworthy. I highly recommend her.”
Maya A.
“Maya is a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She is very caring and enjoys playing with your pet. She made sure to walk, play with, and cuddle my pup ensuring he got exercise and attention. She provided updates and pictures of my dog while watching him. She does a great job.
