“Crystal literally is like a second momma to our baby Frankie. He knows when we are about 2 blocks from her house where we are going. He can’t get out of the car fast enough to get inside to see her and see all his friends. She provides such love and care for him while we are gone. We are usually 8-25 hours away and we don’t worry one second about him. She sends us daily updates on how he is doing with pictures. I would recommend Crystal a million times over! She is like family for our pup. We love her ❤️ also, her home is always so clean and smells so good!”
“Jaclyn is so kind and welcoming! This was our first time leaving our pug Rosie during a family vacation. Jaclyn updated us and sent pictures/videos which relieved our anxieties and allowed us to have a nice time away. Jaclyn is very attentive and I did not worry at all knowing Rosie was in great hands. I highly recommend Jaclyn. She is wonderful and I’m so happy I found her. I will absolutely have Rosie stay with her again during our next vacation.”
“Shawn and Melissa did great with my shy puppy (adult chihuahua) and I felt that my dog was in a safe and loving environment- which is so important to me. They were very responsive and shared pictures daily, which was appreciated.”
“Coconut loved David and Shelly’s place so much, he looked upset coming home :). David sent us pictures during Coconut’s stay and he looked like he had tons of fun! Thanks so much David and Shelly :)”
“We’d never done private personal dog care before and we were blessed to have Bethany be our first sitter. Bethany was very attentive as if Jax was her own dog. Staying with Bethany and her family seemed to keep Jax calm and relaxed. We will ask for Bethany again.”
“Scott and Ashtyn were easy to communicate with and quick to respond to messages. Their spacious property was great for my dog to run and go for walks off leash, which she loves. Their home is well-equipped and designed with dogs in mind. It was a great experience.”
“Kathi was excellent. She cared for both my boys like they were her own. Both have their own quirks and issues but she had no problems. She sent email updates and even clipped their nails and they hate having their nails trimmed! I was so impressed! Will definitely book again!!”
“Stephanie and her husband are true dog people. I was really nervous about leaving my overly emotional English Setter & a 4 month old puppy, but they had an organized approach to meeting each dogs needs. Both dogs came home happy and tired out from so much fun. She kept in contact with photos and a video which was great. Overall it was a good experience. I will be a repeat customer if needed in the future!”
“Sarah and family took such great care of my boys. I was nervous about leaving them, but everyone pitched in to make sure they felt well loved and cared for. It was a great experience.”
“Torey is great! My dog Zoey gets so excited to go over to Torey’s. She takes great care of Zoey. I love that she sends daily pictures and updates how our pup is doing.”
“Highly recommended, my big boy (English mastiff) had a good time, they sent me pictures and videos and also they gave him his medication Of course he will comeback”
“We just moved to town and feel so fortunate we found Nicole to dog sit. Our dog can be very hesitant of new people and scared to death of fireworks. Her whole family went above and beyond to take care of Magic over the 4th of July weekend. Highly recommend”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our 7-month-old puppy, Leia! She kept us updated throughout our time away with frequent messages and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Leia was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention. We really appreciated Samantha’s communication and the care she showed. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Jessica and Robert did a fantastic job watching my dog! They sent me daily updates and pictures so I knew she was happy and being taken care of. My dog has some quirks and they were great at communicating with me and making sure she got all the love and attention she needed while I was gone! They were great at easing my anxiety, and the next time I go on a trip I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“Coco really enjoyed spending Christmas with Emily and her WHOLE family 😂 Thank you for taking such good care of my girl and for the wonderful pictures of her enjoying herself in the middle of the family Christmas commotion.”
“Derek knows what he’s talking about when it comes to taking care of dogs. He was happy to watch our young puppy and continue working on the important skills she needs to learn while she was in his care. Would definitely use him again!”

“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.”
“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: We live on an acreage. Plenty of space to run, play or chill! We have 2 very sweet dogs that we spoil every day. Every dog has its own personality and we love figuring out what we think they are saying and at times we give them voices/accents/languages. Would a poodle say “hey dude what’s up”. They may here. 😆 Dogs are woven into every part of our day. We keep them with us or they have a fenced yard and decks to nap on. We have 2 very sweet dogs and very spoiled. Our dogs come when they’re called or they hear the magic word. We don’t crate/kennel our dogs but will yours if you prefer, especially puppies not potty trained.

There are tons of playtime throughout the day with tons of cuddle time
“We love Emily and Jim! They treat my dog as one of their own and my dog loves going to spend the day with them and their family. I leave my dog with them knowing she is safe, in good hands, having fun, and getting plenty of attention. They are also great at giving updates and taking pics. Emily and Jim are both exceptional and trustworthy. We would recommend them to anyone!!”

About: I am an experienced Veterinary Technician that has worked in the industry for 10 years. I had my own pet sitting and dog walking business in Texas for 6 years before moving to the great state of Nebraska. If selected to take care of your fur babies, I will provide detailed accounts of the interaction that I will have with your pets. I am able to give medications and provide basic medical care. You will be alerted when I notice any sign of illness. You will also be notified when they are being cute. My goal is to provide the best care possible while you are away. I will play with them, love them, and treat them as if they were my own. Taking care of animals is my calling and my passion. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your fur babies. I am a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule to work with your ongoing pet sitting needs. Just let me know what you need! When I am a pet sitter I treat your animals as if they are my own. I pay attention to the details that your pet communicates. I typically can detect early illness and recommend proper intervention to keep your pet healthy. If they are at my house, they are in a fenced backyard and monitored while my dogs play with your dog. I provide plenty of water to prevent dehydration and a nap break to make sure they rest. Be prepared! Your pup will be tired when they return home.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver with a genuine love for animals. I volunteered with the Humane Society and have been a foster parent for the past 4 years, giving me hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I’m comfortable providing medical and special-needs care, including administering medications and monitoring animals who require additional attention. I understand how important it is to follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog or cat will have someone around throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I make sure pets receive fresh food and water every day, plenty of attention and companionship, and regular potty breaks. I take dogs outside approximately every two hours while also following their individual schedule and needs. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and cuddles, a calm environment, medication, or simply a dependable person to keep them company, I’m happy to provide personalized care. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and am able to be present throughout the day. I’m available to give pets regular attention, potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I typically take dogs outside about every two hours and make sure they stay on their normal routine as much as possible. I also have experience with medication administration and caring for animals with medical or special needs, so I’m comfortable providing more individualized care when needed. My schedule allows me to make your pet a priority rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while following the routine and instructions their owner provides. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. I’m also experienced with administering medications and caring for animals with medical or special needs. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while maintaining the pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.

Many neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their furry friends. I can attend to all of your pets needs.

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up.

I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it!
