“We cannot speak highly enough of Kay. I’m so nervous when we leave our 2 pups with someone new. She put us at ease very quickly. The way she loves on and cares for her own dog speaks volumes. We left our 2 for 8 nights. She took excellent care of them, with our oldest requiring medication twice a day. I appreciated the communication and pictures so much. We would happily use Kay again to keep our fur babies.”
“Cambree was great with our dogs! We were in town on business so I found Cambree on Rover. She was quick to reply and her reviews sounded like she was exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely use her again the next time we are in the area!!”
“Banna Jo was terrific!! I could tell that Toby really enjoyed his stay with her and her pets. She frequently sent me pictures and always kept me informed. Whenever I contacted her she always responded almost immediately. I would highly recommend her and will use her anytime I'm in the area.”
“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.”

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

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.
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: I love animals! I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family. I have a very flexible schedule so I decided why not do more! I don’t work a normal 9 to 5 job so I am available almost anytime to come love on and care for your fur babies! I have pets at home so I wouldn’t be able to bring yours here at this time. But I would love to come to your home to play ,brush ,feed /water and clean up after them. I have experience with giving meds and enjoy walking dogs too!
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 have lived with animals my entire life; I have experience from one family dog to five dogs, a cat, chickens, pigs, ducks, and a beard dragon (all at the same time)! I have always LOVED animals, and I have dog-sat several times for my neighbor. I work full time, however my job is about two minutes away from my home and I come home for lunch daily. Weekends are almost always free, so they are typically better for me, however if you are okay with you pet being alone for a few hours while I am working, weekdays will work!

There are not many animals in the neighborhood, and I’ve never had a problem with the ones that are here.
About: I’ve cared for a wide range of animals—from fish to horses—and love them all! I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for the past few years and have experience with training puppies, giving medications to senior pets, and keeping animals happy and safe.

Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m here to care for animals of all shapes and sizes like they’re my own. I’m a self-employed pet photographer, so I have a flexible schedule and can easily move things around to accommodate pet care needs. Whether it's a midday walk, an evening drop-in, or weekend care, I can usually make it work and love having animals as part of my daily routine! When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I always respect the space, follow instructions closely, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I’m also more than happy to meet your pet a few times before your trip so they can get used to me and feel totally at ease. Their well-being is my top priority, and I aim to build trust with both pets and their people!
