“I highly recommend Kay! My dog just spent a week with her and she came back so happy and energized, I could tell she had a great time. I really appreciated the periodic check-ins and pictures she sent while I was away. It’s always hard leaving your pet but at least with Kay you’ll be confident they’re in good hands.”
“Cambree was AMAZING with my boy! She arranged last minute ,within hours, picking Cheesecake up at my house. She sent me pictures each and every day even sometimes more than that. She took him on a walk most mornings as well as socialized him with a few other dogs, cats, and people which he enjoyed so much. Him staying allowed me to stay at the hospital with my husband while he was admitted emergently and her updates kept me so reassured and at peace. Cambree even readjusted the schedule to accommodate our discharge date changing! We will for sure be using her again and highly recommend.”
“Kendra provided me updates throughout Charlie's stay at her house. It sounded like he had a good time with her dog and it was a much better experience than him staying at a kennel in town. Couldn't be happier that he had an actual house to stay at while we were gone.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to each dog, treating them with the same love and respect I give my own. I take the time to understand your dog’s unique personality, needs, and routine — whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and sensitive. I believe consistency and trust matter, so I aim to make every visit a positive, reassuring experience for your pet. I’m reliable, attentive, and detail-oriented, ensuring your dog gets quality care, enrichment, and plenty of affection. I also keep you connected with regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing while you’re away. I work full-time, but my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to reliably fit in pet care during the week. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or quality time with your pets, I make sure there’s always time set aside to provide them with the care, attention, and love they need. You can count on me to follow through and keep your pets happy and comfortable, even during a busy week At home, I take care of my own pets as if they’re family — because they are! I make sure they always have a clean, comfortable space, fresh water, and clean food bowls. I love taking them on walks to keep them happy and healthy, and there’s never a shortage of cuddle time, playtime, or belly rubs. When caring for pets outside of my home, I treat them with the same level of attention and love. I ensure their space stays tidy, their water is fresh, and their routine is followed just as you would do it. Whether it’s a walk, a quick check-in, or a snuggle session, my goal is always to help your pet feel happy, safe, and well-cared-for while you’re away!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Amherst
About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. I have had my dog and cat for over 10+ years and they are living their golden years in comfort and full of love! My dog requires medication three times a day, so if you have a pup with high needs I'm happy to help! I've volunteered for animal shelters and rescues. In 2023, I fostered 5 dogs and they were all adopted! They all came with unique personalities, behaviors, and challenges. I was able to teach them new behaviors, minimize the bad behaviors, and give them the love they deserved. Monday through Friday, I work full time from home from 8AM-5PM Therefore, on those days I am available after 5PM; Weekends I'm available any time! Keeping your pet comfortable and at ease is what's most important to me! I'm happy to do what we need to do to accomplish that while they are in my care.
About: I’ve grown up with all types and ages of animals. I’ve taken care of new born pups to senior pups. I’ve been the trust worthy dog and cat sitter for all of my friends and family since I was a kid. Growing up I had breeds from a mastiff to a tea cup yorkie so I’m comfortable with any size dog. I have lots of experience with animals. I have experience with scared, reactive and aggressive dogs so l know how to handle those situations. I also own a special needs cat myself there if your furry friend needs special attention I am equipped to handle them. I’m currently working part time and am in nursing school. My availability changes from day to day day because of classes so feel free to reach out! While watching your pet, I can take them for a walk in the park, play with them in your backyard yard, give medications if needed, and let them in and out as much as needed

“Banna was wonderful in her communications from the start of our interaction very quick to reply and clearly communicate. When we travel around the country we have found great dog loving friends thru Rover and now count Banna as one of them. Arlo was well cared for, exercised and fed on his schedule at Banna's. Her yard is very securely fenced and full of grass that makes it fun for Arlo. We also received several pictures and updates on how he was doing during the day. If we lived nearby we would of course call Banna again.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Amherst
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. Growing up, I helped care for my senior dog who was blind and diabetic, giving me experience administering insulin injections, providing daily support, and helping dogs navigate their environment safely and comfortably. I am comfortable giving medications, including pills and other oral medications, and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I grew up with Australian Heelers and raised several of them from puppyhood, giving me experience with puppy care, crate training, and managing high-energy breeds. I also enjoy taking active dogs on walks, runs, and hikes to help them stay physically and mentally stimulated. In addition to my personal experience, I have volunteered at local animal shelters and have worked with livestock, including pigs and horses. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, and how to confidently care for animals with different temperaments and needs. Whether your pet needs a walking buddy, extra playtime, medication administration, or gentle care during their senior years, I will treat them like family and provide dependable, compassionate care while you're away. I am currently a graduate student at UNMC in Kearney, Nebraska, with a flexible schedule thanks to my online coursework. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day, including many weekdays and weekends. I grew up surrounded by animals, including dogs, cats, and even pigs, and I have three energetic and lovable Australian Heelers back home in Arizona. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and pet sitting gives me a great opportunity to stay connected to animals while I'm away from my own. As a former Division I softball player at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, I love being active and spending time outdoors. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, hikes, or simply some extra attention during the day, I'm happy to provide the exercise, companionship, and care they need. With my flexible schedule and lifelong experience with animals, I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care for every pet I meet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their schedule, personality, and any special care instructions before providing care. In a client's home, I strive to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household rules. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while ensuring your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with medical needs, including administering medications and insulin injections. I am also experienced with crate training and understand the importance of creating a safe and positive environment for pets when their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Bree was amazing. I knew she was going to be good when my dog took to her right away and he doesn’t go up to just anyone. She was very communicative and sent pictures. Our dogs truly enjoyed her. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since I was about 8 years old. I have always had at least 2 dogs and a cat in the house growing up. Since I joined the military I also helped my friends and coworkers with their pets when they were away. I have a flexible schedule, I work full-time but can work from home most days. I am able to care for pets easily throughout the day. I currently have one dog, bernedoodle, he is the most spoiled pup there is. We have gone through many obedience classes together so I have knowledge and experience on how to properly walk and care for a dog. I love any opportunity I have to meet and care for any new animals. I love going on walks and playing with dogs and cats to keep them entertained! I am currently working at a flexible job, so I can be readily available to attend to your pet's needs and look after your fur baby for the majority of the day! I treat your home and your dog like I would my own! I make sure they have plenty of water, have been fed, time to potty, and plenty of play time as well! They won't be bored with me!
About: Imagine having a stranger enter your house, then grab and kiss your face! Unfortunately, well meaning pet lovers assume your dog or cat wants to be pet, cuddled, and squished, all while unintentionally ignoring polite yet clear cut off signals from your pet that say "no thank you." Hanging out with a sitter for the day should be as low stress and fun for your pet as possible. That's where I come in. With over 12 years of animal care experience, including 3 years of working with and training behaviorally sensitive, fearful, and easily over-stimulated dogs, I understand the importance of moving at your pet's pace. I can quickly read and interpret canine body language to know if your dog is saying "more please" or "please give me some space." My experience includes 2 years working in specialized boarding for fearful, reactive, and sensitive dogs, 7 months of shelter canine behavioral modification, and a solid foundation in positive reinforcement dog training. When with me, your pet will enjoy enrichment through fun puzzles and/or basic training games. I hold my Fear Free Certified Professional Trainer certification and my IAABC-ADT accreditation (International Association of Animal Behavior Consulting - Accredited Dog Trainer). Both FearFree Pets and IAABC hold their members to the highest animal treatment standards (viewable on their websites) so you can rest assured your pet is in safe and caring hands. I work part time most week days and weekends. My pet care available hours for in-home services are 8AM to 3PM on Mondays and Fridays. My approach to animals is at their pace. I don't force them into anything they are uncomfortable with or fearful of, and I pair my presence with lots of delicious treats.

About: I've had a passion for dogs since childhood, and I turned that passion into expertise by working at the Kearney area animal shelter for three years. This experience deepened my knowledge of various breeds while I pursued my goal of becoming a dog obedience instructor. I hold two certifications in dog training—one from Penn Foster and another from Petsmart, where I am proud to serve as a trainer. I ensure that your dog receives not only physical exercise but also essential mental stimulation, making our walks both effective and enjoyable. I currently work full time at cottonwood vet clinic as a trainer/kennel assistant, but caring for dogs is truly my passion and always my top priority. While my schedule mostly has me working weekday mornings from 8-6 it allows me the precious time on the weekend , from Saturday to Monday 8-6, to walk dogs and provide training . I'm dedicated to ensuring that every dog I care for feels loved and valued. I have two friendly dogs, which means I’ll be actively socializing with them while ensuring they get the ample exercise they need to stay happy and healthy.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and patience for all animals. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. I treat every pet like family, paying close attention to their routine, comfort, and safety. You can trust me to provide loving, responsible care and plenty of playtime and cuddles while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work as a para during the school year and currently nanny four days a week. Since I’m always out and about with the family I nanny for, I’m often nearby and can easily swing by to care for your pets during those hours. I enjoy staying busy and love incorporating pet visits into my day—it’s a rewarding and joyful part of my week! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In your home, I make sure to follow any instructions you provide—feeding schedules, walks, medication, crate time, and of course, lots of love and attention. I keep the environment calm and familiar for your pet. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of playtime, snuggles, and supervision. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for—just like they would with you.
