“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!”
“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!!!!❤️❤️🐶”
“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!”
“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.”
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! 🐾🤍
“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!”
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.
“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.”
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!
“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.”
“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!”
“We have used Emily and her lovely family to care for our senior dog on 2 different occasions and we will not hesitate to reach out again if needed. They have been so flexible and kind both times. I appreciate the great and timely communication. It can be a little nerve wracking leaving an older dog (with some issues) but Emily made us feel very comfortable! 10/10 recommend!”
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. As far as skills, I am able to administer oral medications to your pet if needed. Your precious pet would receive all kinds of love and attention. 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.
“I’m always nervous about leaving my dog but I quickly felt comfortable and Danae sent photos every day of my little guy enjoying himself. It went well and I’m a return customer, which speaks volumes.”
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.

“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.”
“Highly reliable. Was great with my dogs, you can tell she loves animals. She gave great communication and feedback of how my dogs were doing. I would highly recommend her and I will be using her again in the future.”
“Emily was amazing! She communicated daily, sent pictures of Frankie and Charlie, and took wonderful care of them while I was away.

I will absolutely use her again and highly recommend her!”

“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!”
“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”

And it’s so easy to leave her knowing she absolutely loves her time at their house!”

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.

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.
“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!”
“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!”

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.

I am not opposed to getting up early to make sure I get a visit in before a shift, or coming there immediately after work to spend some time with your Pet. I always wanna make sure I spend as much time with a pet as possible and make sure they’re getting their needs all met. I am more than willing to take care of pets at their home, that is their space. I will always make sure I visit multiple times in a day, or if you are up for it, stay overnight with pets. I always make sure all the doors are secure before I leave, everything is clean and put in the place, I always check to make sure there’s no accidents or issues with the pets and their area depending if they kennel or not. I don’t like to leave unless pets have eaten and have had plenty of time to go outside, take a walk, play.

My weekly routine is very flexible and the pets I help look after are always my number one priority! For looking after pets in my clients homes, I’ll make sure they have food, water and then I’ll play with them for a bit so they’re not too bored or sad. If the client wants and/or is ok with it, I’ll also take their dogs for a walk so that they can get their energy out and have a little fun!
“Having Roger stop by to give Smudge a break was a great decision! He was very willing to meet up beforehand to make sure it would be a good fit. I appreciated his details in letting me know how things went. I will definitely be using his excellent service again! It puts my mind at peace to know my pup can get out on a nice day.”
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!
About: Hello my name is Kirstin. I currently live in Lincoln NE. I have always loved animals no matter the species. I had previously work at a veterinarian office, as a kennel attendant and receptionist, so I'm not afraid of giving medication. I love to learn about new animals and any fun facts about them. I am also able and comfortable to give medication. I currently volunteer at what is called The Cat House. So I love caring for animals. I have been pet sitting for around 6 years for cats and dogs, but I'm willing to learn what it takes for other animals. I am comfortable with small and large animals and even ones that might be aggressive. I know that if an animal attacks me there was probably something I did to agitate them it usually is never the animal's fault. I currently work part-time, anywhere from 1:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. weekdays, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. all week, or 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays. All of this does depend on my part-time scheduling. If you have any questions on how I will care for your pet, don't hesitate to shoot me a question. I usually watch the dogs when I let them out into the yard unless the owner has stated otherwise. I carefully measure out the food given. Depending on the weather and usually will wipe dogs paws when they come inside. For any pets that require it, I always make sure to play with them to get physical energy out and to give them mental stimulation.
“Shawn & Melissa S are such great people! They obviously care for animals and do their best to accommodate the needs of our dog and us. Thank you so much for walking Jack on such short notice! You are the best!”
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 work from home, so I am available at all times. I will spend time with your pup, and my own dog is very loving. 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.

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
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! 🐾🤍
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

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.

“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!”
“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.
“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: My wife and I have both grown-up with dogs in our homes our whole lives and have passed our love of dogs onto our early elementary aged son as well. We have a 4-year old, cream colored labradoodle named Curious George Banks, aka George. We also have a 1-year old, red & white mini bernedoodle named Hank. I am home full-time and your dog will get lots of playtime, love, care, and attention. Your dog will be able to be inside our home or go outside into our fenced in backyard as much as he/she wants. Our own dogs just ring the bells on the backdoor anytime they want to go out, so it is pretty much a revolving door. :o) We have experience providing dogs with oral medication if needed and will follow any instructions you provide us for the care of your fur-baby. We are excited to meet your dog, make them feel like family, and give them a fun, loving place to stay, in a safe and quiet neighborhood and home while you are gone. Drop off/pick up times are 7:00 a.m.-9:00 pm. If you need to drop off earlier than 7:00 a.m. please plan to bring your dog the night before. Pet care is a regular part of our daily routine already since we have our own dogs. I am home during the day and my wife is an elementary teacher. We can provide multiple feeding times a day, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, lots of play and companionship. We would be able to have dogs in our home for overnights, which can fall on any day, Monday thru Sunday. We are not able to go to your home or do overnights in your home though. We live in a ranch style home, in a quiet neighborhood. We have a backyard that is completely secured by a 6 foot tall fence. There are three steps up to our front porch and there is one step going into the backyard. We spend most of our time on our main floor, so if stairs are an issue for your dog they can mostly be avoided except for the step in and out to the backyard. Our neighborhood is a safe and friendly place for my wife to take your dog on walks. Our son, who is in early elementary school, loves dogs and would enjoy playing with your dog(s), giving them belly rubs, along with lots of love and affection. We also have two dogs, a labradoodle and a mini bernedoodle who are a friend to all dogs and are use to socializing with dogs of all ages and sizes from a tiny 5 lb chihuahua mix to a 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dog. In our home, pets are treated like family. They're welcome on the couch and bed, and anywhere they feel most comfortable. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care every step of the way. We want to meet your dog where they are at and provided them with a place where they feel safe and loved. We are gentle with animals and will follow precisely whatever instructions you give us for care.
