“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!”
“Shawn and Melissa were great. They treated our dog, Bocelli, like part of their family. He was in the house, on the furniture, and in their big back yard. We got pictures pretty much every day. He always got hugs and ample scratching (which he loves). We never worried about him for a minute. When we picked him up he was in good spirits and totally unstressed. Great experience. Thanks Shawn and Melissa!”
“This was my first time using Rover and the first time leaving my pup with someone who wasn’t family for a whole week and Stacy was amazing! I received constant updates and pictures with how she was doing and what she was up to which definitely put this anxious dog momma’s heart at easy. I will absolutely be booking with her again, and you should too!”
“My dog Juno is new to us and so nervous about being left. Infinity took extra time to help her eat when she was anxious and to let her play with other pups to help ease her mind. Thanks so much!”
“Highly recommend Jamie and her family to watch your pup! Jett absolutely loved it there and I could tell by all the pictures/videos that were sent. They definitely treated him like one of their own and we look forward to having her watch Jett again in the near future.”
“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.”
“Nathan is fantastic! He sent pictures and videos throughout and my pup seemed to have a blast! He went to a dog bar, played with neighborhood kids and even helped with yard work.”
“We were not disappointed. Bethany and her family gave our husky great care while we were away. We got frequent updates and pictures. It gave us a lot of comfort knowing our dog was in good hands while we were traveling. My 4 year old loved seeing the pictures of what Koda was doing that day. Would book again!!!”
“Our dog was very happy when we picked him up from Thomas! I appreciated that he was willing to do a meet and greet and he shared exercises that he does with dogs to help any nervousness. Our dog is very content and was well cared for today.”
“Sidney & Shelby are amazing!! They loved on our dog and treated her like royalty! River loved being there and felt like she was at home! We cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you ladies!! You two are incredible!!!!❤️❤️🐶”
“We had a last minute out of town trip pop up and Colleen & Mozart were easily to quickly coordinate with. They were very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!”
“Aspen was great! This was our first time taking our dog there and we will definitely be going back. We received lots of pictures throughout the weekend and she even took him to the dog park to burn some energy. Overall this was a great experience.”
About: Tim and I are dog and cat lovers. We have had one pet or another all of our lives. We currently have a Chocolate Lab. I take my dog on frequent walks and play with him constantly. We would be available to care for your precious pet on Friday after 5:00 pm and Saturday nights into Sunday evening only at this time. We can do drop offs starting at 5:30 pm on Friday Night and can watch your pet through Sunday evening until 9:00 PM. If necessary we can arrange early morning pick up on Monday morning. I can take your pet on one or more daily walks during their stay. If your pet needs additional exercise I have a large fenced yard for them to run and play.

I am available for boarding and drop in visits Friday after 5:00 pm and on weekends through Sunday. I can arrange for early morning pickup on Monday if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a very energetic dog who will keep your fur baby company. I also have a walking trail near by where we can go for walks.
About: Finding pet care can be an anxiety inducing experience. My job is to provide pet parents with total comfort and peace of mind knowing that their fur babies are being well taken care of while they are away. Hey there! My name is Kayla and I am a 30 year old childless cat (and dog) lady. I have spent my entire life around animals and wouldn't have it any other way. We always had dogs while growing up, which eventually grew into also having cats, mice, lizards, etc. I turned this personal love of animals into a profession by spending many years working in pet boarding/daycare facilities, pet shelters, and by pet sitting on the side. I have been around so many different kinds of pet personalities and temperaments and strive to approach each animal appropriately to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I have also had much experience with special needs and senior pets. A big part of my job is it keep owners updated on any concerns I have or to ask important questions, so you never miss a beat of what is going on with your furry companion while you are gone. I pride myself in having a ton of heart and genuine care for any animal I come into contact with, and promise to treat your fur baby as my own - belly rubs and treats included! I currently work full time, 9-5 M-F. I will have plenty of time in the late afternoon/evening to care for your pets, as well as open availability Saturday and Sunday I will care for your fur baby just like he or she is my own! I'm good at following instructions of care and sticking to the routine they are used to. Plenty of belly rubs and walks included!
“Derek was awesome with Percy. He sent absolutely amazing photos of their walks & time together and Percy seemed really happy & healthy when we picked him up. Would absolutely book again!”

If the owner and dog are comfortable with it car rides for fun and to the dog park are always an option. We are able to take an animal in at any time. We will both be home on weekends. Plenty of play time. I have a fenced yard. I have cats in the home but gates to keep them easily separated. I have water fountains for easy access to water. I have experience with giving medication and taking care of animals with bathroom issues.

“Chelsea was great with our kitty! She was able to help out on short notice and was prompt, sent adorable photos, and even cleaned out his litter box. Thank you Chelsea!”
“Kirstin did a great job checking in on our extra shy kitty! Consistent communication and provided nice photo updates during each check-in. I appreciated her notes after each visit and our "meet and greet" before the first visit.”
“Alyssa is very reliable, on time, and took wonderful care of my cat, Oggy. I really appreciated the updates with photos and notes, it made me feel so much more relaxed while I was away. When I got home, my cat was happy and comfortable. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Great communicator, very accommodating, and a great price for what you’re getting. My older cat is pretty shy but really opens up to her. She also takes amazing pictures!”
“Syble did wonderfully with our two cats! She took care of them while we were out of town for a week, and we never had any concerns. I can’t recommend her highly enough! The only downside was that our boys didn’t even miss us!”
“Amy did such a good job with my cats. They looked well taken care of and always answered when I asked questions or needed reassurance that they were happy. Thanks again for doing such a great job!”
“Alexus was great! Ella loved every minute with her! She gave her all the lovings while we were gone and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Kelly is a bona fide feline specialist. A true cat whisperer. Our two cats are not the most social cats, to say the least, and Kelly made friends with them with unbelievable ease. She is gentle, patient and very thorough in her care. It’s an incredible gift to find someone truly reliable to care for your kitties when you’re away and I will be rebooking her every time we are. Thank you for being awesome, Kelly.”

“I had not met Nicole before she watched my cats. She did a great job caring for them and she was good about keeping me updated after each visit. I would definitely have her watch them again and recommend her to anyone needing their animals taken care of while away.”
“Megan cared for my two girls for 5 days and 4 nights and provided phenomenal performance. She provided photographs and a video during the stay as well as provided prompt communications both before and during the period. Megan was willing to meet with me and the two girls in advance to discuss the cat needs. I would highly recommend Megan for your pet care and house sitting needs as she is very responsible and caring.”
About: I have had several cats throughout my life: Fiddle, Otis, Millie, Spaghetti, Spencer, and now Lucy and Ramona. Spaghetti was a stray my sister and I took in. She gave birth to three surprise kittens that we got to raise! They are all placed in great homes. I have a big heart when it comes to cats, and a lot of patience. They are not like dogs, they have their own needs and I definitely get that. I love to spend time with cats and look forward to meeting yours!
“Liv was amazing! She did a daily drip in visit for our 2 cats for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. She was always on time. She was great at communicating and you can tell she really cares about animals. She played with both kitties and talked to them. One of our cats is pretty skittish of other people, but she let Liv pet her. We were shocked! Liv has cat whisperer vibes for sure. She brought in packages and mail daily for us and we didn’t even ask her to do that! She was extremely helpful and we will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. We highly recommend her to everyone on Rover! She is great!”
“I'm so thankful for people like Kristin. It's always nice knowing you can leave your pets with someone who cares. Great communication and will definitely be using her again!”

“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!”
About: We recently said goodbye to our German Shepherd, who we had the joy of taking care of for the last 13 years. We are comfortable with all ages and sizes of dogs. My husband and I both primarily work from home, so someone is almost always around to care for your dog and keep him/her company. We can accommodate most schedules. We have 4 kids ready to give your dog a lot of love and attention. We are gentle with animals, and we will follow precisely whatever instructions you give us.
“Simply a wonderfull amazing women. She truly loved my dog as she would her own. If it wasnt cause shes already been pre booked. I would have kept her as my primary sitter moving forward. But even disregarding that she will always be someone I'll keep an eye out for. She is reliable people to care for a pet”
“Nathan accepted Lincoln for a last minute daycare and was very flexible to our plans! He kept me updated on how Lincoln was doing and also sent some pictures. I can’t wait to schedule again, definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“I wish I could leave 10 stars! Jasmine was so helpful in helping me give a new puppy a strong foundation in potty training while I was at work. She socialized him with her own pets, and I could count on her punctuality every day. I needed early morning drop-off, and she never let me down! Plus, my dog LOVES her, judging by his wiggle launches into her arms. She’s the best!”
“Mollie loves to go to Shawn & Melissa’s house! She runs to the door when we arrive! Mollie loved playing with Shawn & Melissa’s new sweet doggie Willow today! We are so blessed & thankful to have Shawn, Melissa & their twin girls as our dog sitters! We are so grateful to have people who we can trust with our precious dog! And it’s so easy to leave her knowing she absolutely loves her time at their house!”
“Derek did a great job with McGee, for his first time going to doggy daycare. McGee seemed to handle the situation well. Derek had good observations about McGee. Will definitely get Derek again.”
“Infinity was wonderful to work with! It was clear immediately that she cared for my pup and made sure she was comfortable in her home. She provided regular updates and photos and even gave my pup a bath after play time ended in the mud 🤦🏻♀️ I am so thankful our first pet sitting experience with this dog was with Infinity!”
About: I care deeply about dogs and their welfare, including love and exercise. My dog Mitzy also loves other dogs and is a gentle companion; she loves to play and make friends.

I have a fenced backyard and we have a huge neighborhood area exclusively to us homeowners the size of a football field. Also there are to parks within 5 minutes.
“Meaghan did a great job watching our pup Cali for an afternoon/evening while we attended an event! We will 100% be contacting her again the next time we are in Lincoln and need pet care 😊”
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.

“I cannot thank Chelsea enough for coming to my rescue again last minute. I have been struggling with health issues and she is so understanding and willing to help me with my baby. My dog gets so excited to see her! Thank you so much Chelsea!”
About: dogs are very important to me as i have been around them my entire life. i currently work at a dog kennel and as much as i enjoy cleaning up after and taking care of those dogs, i would love to have the opportunity to take care of more dogs outside of the kennel environment. my own dog is so very special to me. when i take him back to visit my parents, we have a total of four dogs running around! the smallest is around 10lbs and the biggest is around 85lbs, needless to say it’s crazy and fun! i currently work part time so i am very flexible with my schedule. i am happy to accommodate as much as i can to fit whatever needs you may have. i live in an apartment so as of now, i am not able to dog sit at my home. however, i am more than happy to commute to your residence to treat your dog as if they were my own. dogs have unique personalities and i am capable of accommodating special requests to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe with me as possible.
About: Animals have always been an important part of our lives. We raised one of our dogs from an 8 week old puppy and adopted another from a shelter when she was estimated to be 1 to 2 years old, she was with us for over 17 years! We cared for them through every stage of life. That experience taught us the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and paying attention to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll care for your furry family member with the same love and attention we gave our own. I currently work part time, which gives me flexibility for dog walks, drop in visits, and house sitting. My schedule varies, but I’m available many afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m active and genuinely enjoy long walks, hikes, and spending time outdoors, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or plenty of exercise, I’ll make sure they get the attention and activity they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I cared for my own two dogs for many years, raising one from a puppy and adopting the other from a shelter. I have experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, including senior dogs with changing needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home secure, provide regular updates and photos, and treat your pet with the same patience, love, and respect I gave my own dogs. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of many family and friends dogs. I treat them like they’re mine own. I go out of my way to make them feel happy. I’m retired so my days and evenings are open to care for your pets. My hours are very flexible. Time with your pet will be the best part of my day. I love to walk, so your dog will get as much walking in as he or she wants. Their schedule will be my schedule. There are lots of dogs in my neighborhood, so your fur baby will meet new friends.
“Alexus came early to play with Milo. She was very friendly and communicative. She left so many photos and expressed that showed her amazing work with my dog. She was amazing!!”
About: I've dog sat for various families over the years. I've house sat 3 different times, and have experience with senior dogs needing extra care (medicine, cleaning, etc.) I also have experience watching up to three dogs at once. I have family and friends willing to assist me in case of emergencies, as well. I know some dog first aid, including CPR and Heimlich. Once I graduate from college and finish my summer classes in September, my schedule will be completely open! I don't have any regular weekly commitments, so I can spend as much time with your pet(s) as needed! I like to spend as much time with pets as possible, even if that just means sitting in the same room as them while we each do our own things.
About: I’ve loved animals for many years, and since joining Rover I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs through drop-ins, walks, and overnight house sitting. I’ve cared for pets for everything from short visits to extended trips lasting multiple weeks. My experience includes feeding and refreshing water, litter box care, dog walking, playtime and enrichment, administering medications, maintaining established routines, and providing companionship. I also have experience caring for senior pets and animals with more involved routines. One thing I’ve learned is that every pet is different. Some want constant attention and playtime, while others need patience and space before they feel comfortable with someone new. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality rather than expecting them to adjust to me. Communication is also a big priority. I provide regular updates and photos, follow instructions carefully, and want owners to feel confident that both their pets and their home are being well cared for. I’m grateful to have developed relationships with repeat clients who trust me to care for their pets whenever they travel, and I’d love the opportunity to become someone your pets know and trust, too. I’m a teacher and an experienced pet sitter with a growing group of wonderful repeat clients. Since beginning on Rover, I’ve had the opportunity to care for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities, routines, and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. During the school year, I work Monday–Friday and typically leave home around 7:00–7:15 AM and return around 4:15–4:30 PM. I’m available for drop-ins and walks before and after work, as well as on weekends. I also offer overnight house sitting for pets who can comfortably and safely be alone during my workday. During school breaks, holidays, and summer vacation, my availability expands considerably and often includes daytime visits and walks. My Rover calendar is kept updated to reflect these changes. During school breaks I have much more daytime flexibility. Upcoming breaks include Thanksgiving break (Nov. 25–27), winter break (Dec. 21–Jan. 1), and Easter break (Mar. 26 & 29). I also have additional individual days off throughout the school year, so feel free to check my Rover calendar or ask about a specific date. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable with their familiar surroundings and routines. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and make sure everything is secure when I arrive and leave. I also provide regular messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If anything seems unusual with your pet, I’ll communicate with you right away.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love to care for them. My current furry family consists of three cats. But we love all animals over here! I work part time with flexible hours, this gives me plenty of time to be flexible with my schedule and care for your furry friends! My first priority is always safety. In caring for your pet(s) I ensure to keep them safe while having all the fun we can. I always love finding new ways to engage my pets in enriching activities.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for family friends for years. My girlfriend and I love meeting new fur babies and getting to play with them! I work 1:30 to 5:30 every week day at the bank! Olivia works 2 to 8 usually but other than that we like to watch tv and go on walks so we will be at the house often!! I send photos of pets and make sure the owner is at ease for the whole time we are there! I am very responsive to texts if there are any issues/updates. I am comfortable with kenneling dogs at night or having them sleep on the bed!
About: I love animals and am committed to giving them enriching lives. While your pet is in my care, you can expect them to play a variety of brain-engaging games, eat out of puzzle feeders, and receive undivided love and affection! I work a very flexible job that allows me to fit in walks and drop-in visits whenever needed. There are no times that are too early or too late for my schedule! I will follow any procedures and protocols you have put in place for your pet. Your pet's routine is important to me and them! Animals thrive off of routine, so I will follow any directions you give to the letter.
About: Even in childhood, I've loved animals. I decided when I was very young that I wanted to make a career out of rescuing abused, disabled, and neglected animals who need help; I still think about this dream today, at 20 years old. For all my life, I've had a dog, cat, or critter to come home to. I'm willing and able to go on walks, though prefer not to walk too much on days above 90 degrees Fahrenheit or below 30. As far as I'm concerned, I'm willing and able to do anything your animal may need. I care about every animal companion, and will do my best to make their lives as enjoyable as possible. I would even be willing to try caring for an animal that may act somewhat aggressive, as long as they don't have a history of serious injuries, seeing as I'm not trained to defuse an attitude such as that yet. I am also, of course, willing to care for your home through small time chores as long as I am there. Right now, I'm a sandwich slinger at Subway. Usually I only get morning shifts which are 3 hours on average, 6 hours tops. I would let you know if I'm going to be away for longer! Otherwise, I try not to leave my wards for more than 4-5 hours just out of caution. I generally prefer to petsit outside my home, since our pets aren't always awesome with new friends... but I'm always willing to come to your place, granted we (of course) meet beforehand so I can get a lay of the land and your pets can assess me. I will do my best to keep routines just the same for your pet, as well as ensure that the house is NOT messed up. I will keep in touch with you with pictures and updates! (Unless you don't need that, of course!)
“Jasmine went above and beyond to take care of my dogs. I only booked her to walk the dogs but she took the time to also play with them and spend time with them. She spoiled my dogs and they love her. I really appreciate her assistance”
About: I grew up with pets my whole life. My family and friends have relied on me walk, feed, and house/dog sit when they are unavailable. My dog MJ, who passed in 2020, made one of the biggest impacts in my life, and if I can give more care and love to animals it would be very fulfilling. I am comfortable around pets of all ages, and will cater to each animals needs. It is always my aim to adore your pet as much as you do! My job is mostly remote and I do make my own schedule. So I will be able to easily cater to your pet care needs. I will respect your pets boundaries and cater to their needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved. All pets are different, and require different ways of caring for.
About: Most people babysit growing up, I was the local petsitter instead. Now I’m the go-to petsitter for my friends and colleagues, looking to help others! I have experience petsitting both cats and dogs! My main summer job is research, so the hours I’m available are very flexible. I make my own schedule so I can make myself available for most times! I’ve cared for lots of pets of varying age and need ranges, so I am equipped to do whatever is needed for pets to thrive while their owners are away. I am used to taking dogs on long walks or snuggling under a blanket, and I have two very particular cats of my own so I know how to get kitties eating, playing, and comfortable!

“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!”
“Shawn and Melissa were great. They treated our dog, Bocelli, like part of their family. He was in the house, on the furniture, and in their big back yard. We got pictures pretty much every day. He always got hugs and ample scratching (which he loves). We never worried about him for a minute. When we picked him up he was in good spirits and totally unstressed. Great experience. Thanks Shawn and Melissa!”
“My dog Juno is new to us and so nervous about being left. Infinity took extra time to help her eat when she was anxious and to let her play with other pups to help ease her mind. Thanks so much!”
“Highly recommend Jamie and her family to watch your pup! Jett absolutely loved it there and I could tell by all the pictures/videos that were sent. They definitely treated him like one of their own and we look forward to having her watch Jett again in the near future.”
“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.”
“Nathan is fantastic! He sent pictures and videos throughout and my pup seemed to have a blast! He went to a dog bar, played with neighborhood kids and even helped with yard work.”
“We were not disappointed. Bethany and her family gave our husky great care while we were away. We got frequent updates and pictures. It gave us a lot of comfort knowing our dog was in good hands while we were traveling. My 4 year old loved seeing the pictures of what Koda was doing that day. Would book again!!!”
“Our dog was very happy when we picked him up from Thomas! I appreciated that he was willing to do a meet and greet and he shared exercises that he does with dogs to help any nervousness. Our dog is very content and was well cared for today.”
“We had a last minute out of town trip pop up and Colleen & Mozart were easily to quickly coordinate with. They were very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!”
“Aspen was great! This was our first time taking our dog there and we will definitely be going back. We received lots of pictures throughout the weekend and she even took him to the dog park to burn some energy. Overall this was a great experience.”
About: Tim and I are dog and cat lovers. We have had one pet or another all of our lives. We currently have a Chocolate Lab. I take my dog on frequent walks and play with him constantly.

I am available for boarding and drop in visits Friday after 5:00 pm and on weekends through Sunday. I can arrange for early morning pickup on Monday if needed.

About: We love all animals and treat them as family. There is care for the animal in the home 24/7. Patient with all types of animals. Work flexibility. I am working full time but my partner works from home. Pets will have company 24/7 with bathroom breaks as needed. If the owner and dog are comfortable with it car rides for fun and to the dog park are always an option. We are able to take an animal in at any time. We will both be home on weekends. Plenty of play time. I have a fenced yard. I have cats in the home but gates to keep them easily separated. I have water fountains for easy access to water. I have experience with giving medication and taking care of animals with bathroom issues.
“Kara took such great care of my dog! She provided regular updates and sent photos. I look forward to bringing Mabel back in the future. It's such a relief finding a good sitter!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs from a new puppy all the way to senior pets. Your pup will get plenty of play time and be loved as if it is our own. I currently work full time, but nearby. I am home for lunch each day to allow your pup out for bathroom breaks, play, or possibly a short walk. Fridays and the weekend we are home the majority of the time. I can provide both long and short walks as long as cuddles and play time. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly pup of my own. Our pup is neutered so we can accept any dog. We do have young children so prefer that your pup is familiar with kids. If food aggressive, please let us know so we can accommodate that appropriately. We prefer to crate during the time we are out of the house, but if your dog is not accustomed to that, we can make other arrangements.
“Ryleigh was great. She's a genuine animal lover. She boarded my kitty for a week and everything went smoothly. She sent photo updates, which was greatly appreciated since I was pretty nervous about sending my cat off to be boarded for the first time. I will definitely reach out and have her board my cat again if the situation arises. Thanks Ryleigh!”
About: I volunteer at the humane society walking dogs every Saturday morning and have for years. I've handled many dogs of varying ages and needs. I currently have two of my own. I'm a long-time dog owner and my world revolves around them. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays. I walk my own dogs at least once daily. I try to include them in weekend activities. One of my dogs requires daily medication. I leave them alone for minimal time each day. They go to doggie daycare on days I work in the office. I also enjoy taking my dogs to the dog park for a change of scenery. I have a fully enclosed fenced yard, 6ft tall. I control and supervise outdoor yard time. I keep the screen doors locked. I walk my dogs with a running leash that locks, and they are never off-leash. While I'm not formally "certified" in pet CPR or first-aid, I have read books on the subject to be prepared for emergencies involving my dogs. I'm also familiar with the after-hours emergency veterinary services in Lincoln.
About: Hi! I’m Natalie, and I’m a huge animal lover who would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’m responsible, patient, and treat every animal like they’re my own. I also have my own Goldendoodle, Willow, who absolutely loves making new furry friends! She is very playful, gentle, and friendly and would be so excited to have a buddy to hang out with. Because Willow would be around during stays, I do ask that your dog is comfortable and friendly with other dogs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, give them lots of love and attention, and send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! 🐾🤍 I work as a CNA, but I have a flexible schedule because I’m able to sign up for shorter shifts that work around my availability. I’m very intentional about making sure I have plenty of time to care for pets, which allows me to come home and let dogs out for potty breaks, take them on walks, give them lots of attention, and spend time hanging out with them. I want to make sure every pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. 🐾 When your pet is staying with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved just like they’re at home. I’ll keep them on their normal routine as much as possible, including meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Since I have a flexible work schedule, I’m able to make time throughout the day to let them outside and give them attention rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My Goldendoodle, Willow, is also very friendly and loves having other dogs around, so your pup will have a fun little friend to keep them company! 🐾🤍
