About: I have had pets and cared for animals for 15+ years. Have my own pet that travels with me almost every where I go. House is pet safe. I farm and work in rentals. During the winter I have more time care for pets. I work in my office out of my own house during the winter I have my own pet, a small Australian Shepard. She is house broke. At my own home I take pets out by leash as I don’t have a fenced in yard yet. Looking to make money by boarding to fence in back yard for better service.

About: As a dedicated dog owner myself and longtime resident of Grand Island, I treat every pet with the same love and patience I give my own. I am familiar with our local neighborhoods and parks and I am committed to being a dependable resource for those who need a trustworthy professional to step in while they are away. Because I work from home full-time, your pet becomes my ‘co-worker’ for the day! My schedule allows me to provide consistent companionship, regular potty breaks, and playtime. My routine is very stable, which is perfect for dogs who get anxious when left alone. I am primarily available for weekday boarding and can often accommodate weekend stays with advance notice. Your pup will enjoy a calm, professional home environment where they are never just an afterthought. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fenced in backyard where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime throughout the day. Because I work from home, I provide a supervised environment with a consistent routine of potty breaks, mid-day stretches, and plenty of companionship. I apply the same attention to detail mentioned when caring for pets in their homes.

“Jack and Sophie seemed happy so I’m happy. I felt comfortable with Cara when she did a meet and greet with me, hubby and pups and I was right. Thanks Cara.”

About: I grew up in a small farm town in Wisconsin. I’d take care of dogs, cats, horses and even cows when my neighbors were away. In addition to taking care of my four dogs, barn cats, 6 horses, and a goat. I am a full time student at Hastings college. I am also involved in the woman’s wrestling team and honors program. I have morning lifts at 5:40 am. After I don’t have class until 12:00. Because of this I’ll be free most early mornings. I’ll also be done with class Mondays and Wednesday by 4:00pm Tuesday and Thursday I won’t be free till 6:30 pm due to wrestling practice. My weekends are completely free. Anytime I watch someone’s animal I make sure to follow any rules or guideline the owner sets. I love all animals and playing with them. In addition I love to go on walks or runs with bogs if the owner allows it. Growing up on a farm I’m very familiar with animals body language and understand what they are or are not okay with.

“Marty did a great job! Great communication. I will use her again.”

“Marilyn did a great job taking care of our cat while we went on vacation. We appreciated the picture and video updates and could see that they had so much fun together! We would definitely have Marilyn drop in again when we are gone.”

About: Cats deserve more than basic care—expect play, love, and attention so they stay happy, healthy, and purring until you return! Cats are the best.

About: Growing up we always had family pets. Most of them were rescues. As an adult I have had my own dogs until I loss my babies a year ago. I’m a semi retired and only work 3 to 4 hours a day. I would love to have fur babies to take care and fill my days. I recently started driving a school bus so I do have to work around drop off and pick up of your pet. School bus routes starts at 6:45 and I’m done at 8:30 in the afternoon. I start at 2 o’clock and I’m home by 4 o’clock.. I have a fenced in backyard. I currently don’t have any babies of my own . I would really like a chance to love your baby.

“This was the best experience and Stacie was accommodating and a fantastic person to leave my dog with. He came home happy and tired. I would absolutely recommend”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have always helped to care for the pets of friends and family. I am known to get down on the floor in dress clothes to roll around and play. I have always been very passionate about animal care and showing them all the love possible. They are TRULY part of our family and I treat them as such. I work at home so I am always here and available for them. I have a privacy fenced in large back yard and my dogs love playing ball! They are family and sleep with me as well as lay at my feet while I am working. I am willing to keep them at my home or travel to yours. My two dogs are very welcoming of other pets in the home. I am able to let them out frequently when in my care at my home, or to travel to yours based on an agreed upon schedule.

About: I have more than 10 years experience working with animals/ aside from my personal life which revolves around my (4) fur babies. I formerly worked as the primary animal caretaker for Aurora Adopt A Pet. I did that for almost 2 years. most recently, I was kennel manager and daycare operations at my local boarding facility for 3 years. For as long as i can remember, my life both inside and outside of work has revolved around animals. To say it's my life, is an understatement. In May of 2026, I will be opening my own doggy daycare facility here in Aurora. I treat every animal the way I treat my own. They are not just pets, but members of the family. To gain the trust and love of so many animals in my life, is a true blessing.

About: I love animals, I can get along with all types of dogs, cats, birds, lizards, etc. I have always grew up with having a pet or 2 ! I work mainly on the weekends! Giving me enough time during the week to care for your pets with my full attention, care, love, treats I have a fenced in back yard, I can easily crate your animal (dog, cat, even birds) with cameras to monitor if I step inside for any reason.
