“Lucky had so much fun staying with Aunt Stacy!!! The photo and text updates were so fun and cute and so appreciated! She truly went above and beyond in taking care of our puppy. We highly recommend her and I know our puppy was in good hands the whole time and she was nice and comfortable while we were on our trip!”
“We LOVE Jamie and her entire family. Her children, and husband are also so good with Harper and we feel thankful to be able to travel knowing our dog is in good, loving hands. We will not hesitate to book with Jamie again in the future.”
“Jamie and Daniel were amazing! This is the first time using Rover and we were definitely nervous. Jamie and Daniel were so accommodating and reassuring. They sent videos and pictures daily and Sasha LOVED her time there!”
“Shawn and Melissa are always our go-to sitters for our labradoodle. They are responsive to our questions and we love getting pictures and updates from them.”
“My dogs love it there. Lots of opportunities for then to exercise. One of them seemed torn between coming back home and staying despite his general apprehension around smaller kids”
“Coconut loved David and Shelly’s place so much, he looked upset coming home :). David sent us pictures during Coconut’s stay and he looked like he had tons of fun! Thanks so much David and Shelly :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“They took great care of Mr. Wiggins, he was comfy and happy at his sleepover! Ashley & Kyle were flexible and easy to work with, and excellent communicators. Thank you!”
About: I’ve lived my whole life with at least one pet in the house and shared responsibility in caring for him or her. I took in my own pupper, Benji, in the summer of 2020 as a 4-month-old puppy and trained him myself. My husband and I also have a precious cat named Princess who rules the roost :) We love our fur family, and I/we can’t wait to love on yours! I work a regular 8-5 job that has some flexibility in the morning and afternoon (I can come in later and leave earlier if I need to). I’m free most evenings and weekends. I can take care of pets in my apartment for a short period, but they have to be ok with cats and dogs. I have a cat tree and a litter box, and I take my small dog on a walk 3x a day. I would do the same or more for my clients. I also expect my clients to line out any needs and rules for me in their homes and/or for their pets so I can take care of them as desired.
“Danae is great with my corgi. Excellent communication with updates or concerns. She has been very flexible with me on drop off and pick up times. We have booked with Danae twice and would definately rebook!”
“Michelle took excellent care of my Yoshi Beara, and welcomed him into her home and family! Yoshi came home happy and exhausted from playing with his new friends. Michelle sent fotos often so I could see that Yoshi was well-cared for, and happy! It is so reassuring to know that my little lamb is well cared-for while I am not at home. I have tried other large animal care centers in Lincoln, and was extremely disappointed in them for a variety of reasons. From now on, I am only booking Yoshi's care with Michelle! I have already booked another stay for Yoshi Beara with Michelle! Michelle is amazing, and I highly recommend her to other "pet parents". Thank you, Michelle!!”
“Derek knows what he’s talking about when it comes to taking care of dogs. He was happy to watch our young puppy and continue working on the important skills she needs to learn while she was in his care. Would definitely use him again!”
“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.”
“Jania and her family are awesome. All the love and security your pet needs for a weekend away. Lots of pictures and messages bring us peace of mind. This was our second time using her. We don’t see ourselves using anyone else.”

“Hilary did an amazing job caring for my kitties again! She sent great updates and was very quick to respond when I had questions or extra requests for her. She even went to pick up more of my kitties medicine when it ran out too soon. Hilary is amazing!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She visited my cat every day while I was out of town and was great about providing updates. She was flexible and responsive as well. I’ll definitely rebook her in the future!”
“Olivia is great, even if my cat refuses to realize this. She’s an excellent communicator, is dependable and really makes me feel ok about being away from home. Even if he refuses to engage, just knowing she’s looking after him is a great comfort.”
“Isabella is AMAZING!! She is so in tune to my kitty’s needs and is such a good caretaker! This is my second booking with Isabella, and I would not use anyone else in my area! My kitty loves her and I feel completely safe and secure having her take care of my baby in my home. She’s been a dream to contact and coordinate with! She goes above and beyond what I ask. 1200/10 recommend!”
“Ashley and Kyle were very great to my kitty’s, gave them lots of love and helped take care of them while I was gone with daily visits. Will def book with them again”
“Alissa always has the most thorough updates on my pup when I am gone. She is attentive to detail and takes her time with him while she is there. She is such a blessing to our family!”
“Ashley is lovely! She is punctual, respectful, friendly, & absolutely loves our pup! She has done everything we’ve asked of her and is very helpful. Highly recommend her 😊”
“Ella was wonderful and took such good care of our senior cat. With constant updates and photos, we felt comfortable that our cat was in good hands. We look forward to having you back!”
“Marcy went way over and beyond our expectations when we gave her the wrong house key. She made sure our cats and our home were secure and safe. We definitely recommend her care. Thanks again!”
“This was our second booking with Kristin and it went great again! This trip she checked in on our senior cat and everything went well, she sent pictures to us every time she was at the house. We will definitely continue to book with Kristin as long as she's available.”
“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!”
About: Growing up surrounded by cats, I’ve cared for them my whole life—nurturing kittens, providing comfort, and even assisting in multiple births. With years of hands-on experience, I understand their needs and am dedicated to giving every cat the love and attention they deserve. Although I would consider myself a dog person now, I still love being able to form a special bond with every cat I come across 😻
“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.”
About: I’ve mostly cared for bigger dogs with a lot of energy. I regularly look after my friend’s pets as well as my family’s. I have a dog of my own, she’s very active and friendly. I’ve had her for over a year and learned so much about dogs from being a pet parent. I got to school part-time but I still have quite a bit of time throughout the day for check-ins. The weekends are best for boarding. I like to do dog walking throughout the week. I spend most of my time at home so I don’t mind hosting at my home but I’ll also do care at a client’s home. I do not have a fenced in back yard but I live in an area with a lot of parks and open spaces. I do spend a lot of time outside so I’m comfortable with going out for multiple walks a day. I don’t provide treats of my own unless the owner asks me too or if they tell me what they’re okay with their pet eating. I don’t give pets food I’m eating because I don’t want them to choke or they could get sick.

“Can’t say enough about how pleased we were with how much Jamie is a wonderful dog caregiver. We have a very active Springer Spaniel that is still in puppy mode and in new surroundings is very much on the move checking out everything. Jamie & Dans home is setup perfectly for pets with all types of personalities. She even took the time to introduce our dog to cats. We’ve been looking for a River home that makes our dog comfortable and accommodating to a dog with separation anxiety and a need for attention plus the ability to mix with other pets and people. Can’t wait for the next time for our dog to have another visit.”
“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!”
“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 😊”
“Tuffy looks happy and well cared for, which really stood out to me. David seems very comfortable and confident handling dogs. It’s clear he actually spends quality time with the dogs rather than just keeping them around, and that makes a big difference. We are grateful.”
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.
“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!”
“We really appreciated that Jadyn was able to take care of our Roxie last minute. We love that he is really fast in responding back and adaptive to our schedule (which is super helpful). On top of that he is really polite and respectful and Roxie loved him since the moment she saw him :)))”
About: I’ve dealt with almost any kind of cat or dog from sick kittens that needed fostering, to old dogs in need of medication. I love all pets! I am available any day or time of the week! I am a full time college student but I am only required on campus for tests, so you need something I’m there! Any special needs I am okay taking care of! Playtime and stimulation is important to me and for any pets’ wellbeing. I welcome all ages and sizes of pets.
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.
About: I have had my fair share of pet sitting including my neighbors 4 cats, 2 dogs, hedgehog, lizard, 2 birds , and much more! There isn’t much I can’t handle. I currently have nothing going on during the days until September when I start my doctorate program. So I will be home all day for your pets! I’ve had pets my entire life and know the struggle on leaving your baby with a stranger! I want to provide comfort to both you and your animal while you’re away and do everything I can to make your trips easier. I have had animals my whole life, including a very picky dog who I love dearly. So I’m not a stranger to weird requests to comfort your dog
“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”
“We came in to Lincoln for a wedding and needed someone to watch our dog for the day and into the evening. Shawn and Melissa were quick to offer to help and our dog Twyla felt very much at home. We would gladly bring her to stay again!”
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.
About: Have experience with both cats and dogs through owning and helping through the years. I currently have five cats and three dogs of my own so I am very familiar with feeding schedules, cleanings, playtimes, monitoring behaviors, and making sure everyone feels safe in their own environment. I’m comfortable caring for different pets of different sizes and energy levels, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving them attention and companionship while their owners are away.
About: When I was growing up babysit for my brothers bestfriend. I would have to walk the dogs and it got her energy out as well. :) I have 5 cats and I have to change their litter daily, feed them twice a day , give them love and attention. I will go to my grandmas and walk her dog for her. I treat them as I they are mine. I love animals no matter how big or small. And I follow the instructions from the orders of the times they want to feed them.

“Rachel was right on time. You can tell she's a dog lover. She was friendly and courteous. Winnie barely hesitated when they started out. She provided good feedback with pictures. We will definitely ask for Rachel again!”
“Ashley & Kyle are really amazing! They go the extra mile to make your dog feel comfortable and take the time to get to know everything about your dog so they can provide them with the best walks. If you’re dog has anxiety like mine does they did so wonderful with him and made him comfortable so that he was actually excited to go on walks with them :)”
About: I’ve mostly cared for bigger dogs with a lot of energy. I regularly look after my friend’s pets as well as my family’s. I have a dog of my own, she’s very active and friendly.

“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!”
“Kristin was AMAZING! Honestly it was our first time using Rover and it was literally so calming and easy with her. She went above and beyond and really took care of the details that Sly needed! She’s kind and funny, and you can really trust her. We WILL be using her again, and are so thankful for her!”
About: I have taken care of a couple of dogs. The owners have relied on me to take care of their dogs with walking and feeding. I do work full time, with a couple days at home. I can board overnight or on the weekends or walk dogs when not boarding. My area has a great place for dogs to walk and go outside for the bathroom. My home is calm and clean with dog toys to play with.
“Mikaela is very personable and friendly! I trust her entirely with my pup; you can tell she really cares about dogs of all kinds. Also, she is reliable and coordinates if she has a change in schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
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: I’ve never NOT had a pet. Growing up I have always had dogs! Now that my parents have moved, I have been missing my pups. I have taken care of neighbors pets for years as well as house and pet sitting for some family members & coworkers over the years. I am currently a college student, I have one class currently from 11-11:50 on mon-thurs, I do take other classes online! I do tend to run around a lot but majority of my time would be with the pets! When caring for pets, safety and trust are paramount. In my home or the client's, I always ensure pets have a safe, comfortable environment, and all their needs are met. I keep all harmful objects out of reach, provide plenty of playtime when i’m home, and stick to their feeding and walking schedules. And of course, lots of love and cuddles are always included! 🐾
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs since I was around 10 years old! I have worked with shy and anxious dogs, as well as super high energy friends!

I am currently a student but my class schedule is very flexible with only one class per day and am willing to work around your needs! While watching your dog at your home, I will continue to keep your dog in their routine and make them comfortable even when you are not there with them! I know every single pet is different and has different needs. I am ready to dive right in and help your dog in any way that you may need!
About: I’ve dealt with almost any kind of cat or dog from sick kittens that needed fostering, to old dogs in need of medication. I love all pets! I am available any day or time of the week!

Playtime and stimulation is important to me and for any pets’ wellbeing. I welcome all ages and sizes of pets.
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.

I’m currently available mon-thurs at any time!
