“Crystal took great care of Ford. He loved going out to her place - so many pups to play with. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout his time. Will use again :)”

“We had an amazing first time experience with these sitters watching our two French bulldogs. From the start, communication was excellent, they kept us updated with frequent messages and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were very well cared for and happy. Our French bulldogs are not quite a year old yet, so they still have some of the challenges that come with being puppies, but the sitters were wonderful with them. They seemed completely comfortable and relaxed, and it was obvious they were treated like part of the family. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, and communicative sitters. We have already rebooked with them to ensure that they have room to watch them again!”

“This was our first time using Rover, and we selected Bethany as our dog sitter for 5 days. Our dog Kona was very well taken care of, and Bethany sent us pictures of Kona along with daily texts on how she was doing. Thank you Bethany, we'll be back to have you watch Kona.”


“Betty seemed to enjoy her time with Kathi! Kathi was very flexible when I needed to modify her drop-off time. I felt very comfortable leaving her there and trusted that Kathi would care for her well.”

“Nathaniel and his team took great care of our boys. They kept in touch with us and sent pictures of them being lazy on the couch. They got a special treat by being able to run and play off leash in their back yard! We will definitely be using Nathaniel again for sure!”

“Allyson does such a great job with our senior dog. She is extremely caring and sends thoughtful updates throughout his stay. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”

“What a wonderful first time experience! Stephanie and her family were wonderful with our 2 pups! It was so nice to have them in a home where they were cared for like we would care for them. It was great receiving pictures and/or videos of our pups while gone. We missed them so much and this always made it better! Thank you so much for everything! We’ll be coming back!”

“Torey is great! Our (crazy) Daisy had an amazing time with her. Daisy came back home happy, relaxed, and tired from all the fun. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend!”

“Ashlee was great! Our sweet Raven warmed right up to her and her family, and was treated like one of their own fur babies. Ashlee was wonderful when our trip got extended by almost a full day, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Would love to let Raven stay again in the future!”

“Cheryl is amazing! I was traveling from out of town and my dog can be slow to warm up but Cheryl made it very comforting and is great at communicating. She has two dogs who are fun sweeties! I would highly recommend and even return again. She’s is a dog person and makes her own dog treats, very caring pet owner/caretaker!”

“Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She and her family invited my pup into their home and treated him like he was one of their own. She kept me up to date on how he was doing, sent lots of pictures, spoiled him with treats, and allowed him to get comfortable in her home. I’ll absolutely have Sarah watch my pup again when I need a sitter.”

“Nicole and her family seemed to do a great job taking care of our dog. She sent updates everyday on what they did and how she was doing. We picked Sunny up tired, happy, and healthy. Thank you Nicole.”

“Derek was great w/Oso. My little bear 🐻 was very calm before & after I picked him up. Derek kept me updated w/great pics & gave great advice on getting Oso out & about more around people & other dogs. He is still a pup & everything is new still, however I agree with him & appreciate his advice. I will probably book him again 😀.”

“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”

“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! ?”

“Frankie had so much fun AGAIN! He loves going to Crystals playing with all his friends. She takes such good care of him while he is there we never have to worry about him ❤️❤️”

About: Grew up with dogs as a child, I would care for family and friends pets, caring for them as they will be part of my family I am semi retired right now, so my time is open to all kinds of playtime and walks so that the dogs have so much fun time daily I have a fenced in yard, I have a 7 year old golden retriever. There are tons of playtime throughout the day with tons of cuddle time
“Alexis provided a safe and cool place for our dogs while we were passing through. Just needed a day so we could explore the zoo before getting back on the road with our dogs. She sent pics throughout the day and gave us a peace of mind in knowing our dogs were safe. If we’re ever in the area again and need a place for our dogs, we’d be happy to hire Alexis again. She was wonderful!”

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.
“Maizy came home a happy dog. She was happy to see me at he end of the day but seemed happy to hang out a while longer too. She met new friends, played hard, and came home with tired paws. I think Stacy, Pearl, and Fred are beloved friends now.”

“Jackie was great! Very flexible with my changes in hours and sent pictures/updates throughout the day. You can tell she really loves dogs and takes great care of them while you're away 😊”

“Joan is an excellent dog sitter and I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. She was great to communicate with leading up to the stay, and kept us informed through texts and pictures of how Mia was doing while she was there. Mia was worn out after her day of fun at Joan's house. We will definitely reach out to her again for our future needs!”

“David and Shelly were a great help when we were passing through Lincoln and needed dogcare for a few hours. I have a GSP and Rhodesian Ridgeback, so not small or quiet dogs :). They brought them into their home without question and had yard for them to stretch and play for a few hours with their pup. Highly recommend!”

“Garth and Tracy were amazing! We were in the area for a family reunion and were struggling with what to do with our puppy for a large part of the day. Garth and Tracy were kind enough to accept a next day booking for us and did a wonderful job caring for Gus. He seemed very happy when we picked him up and we were so relieved to be able to leave Gus somewhere where we did not need to worry about him at all. If we ever find ourselves back in the area or have friends/family that need help with their dog nearby, Garth and Tracy will be our first choice.”

“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!!”

“Our dog, Bella, comes home happy from Bethany's house. She gets some quality time and play with other dogs and with children. She doesn't get that at home with two old people. Thank you, Bethany!”

“Kara was wonderful. Ace was very well taken care of while our moving truck was being unloaded. I really appreciated her communication especially with the video and pictures. I will definitely be reaching out to her again.”

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.

I was nervous since my dog can be a jerk around others, and she has 2 small dogs, but she had a plan for all scenarios. And the dogs for along fine. Definitely would recommend her.”

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. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe!
