Personalized care for your dog or cat - Malcolm
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Malcolm
“Jenny's house has such an organic and welcoming environment for dogs. While leaving, my rescue watched out the rear window as we drove away; a clear sign he wanted to stay, and utterly remarkable given how reluctant he normally is around children”
“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.”
“Lori took great care of Rosie while we were out of town for the weekend. She kept us updated and even sent a few photos. I would definitely recommend her to friends looking for a pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Jamie and her family were great!! They sent lots of photos and kept us in the loop. Goose had a great time!! I definitely recommend Jamie to anyone looking for a happy home to take their pups to. 🙂”
“This is an amazing family who treated Sunny like their own. They took lots of time to play frisbee with her and sent me pictures throughout the stay! Highly highly recommend!”
“Greta was wonderful with my Maggie. Super caring and asked questions so she knew what Maggie was used to. Would definitely recommend Greta and will use her services again when going out of town and not able to take Maggie with me. Thank you so much Greta! Put my mind at ease knowing Maggie was in good hands. 😊”
“My pup loves staying with Michelle! And I know he will be well looked after and entertained. My dog Enzo is always happily worn out after a day of playing at Michelle's! I will absolutely book with her again soon!!”
About: We have been owners of a golden retriever for 6 years and are experienced with the needs of dogs. I have also watched friends dogs many times while they were out of town. I'm a homeschooled mom who will have a lot of time during the day to give your dog love and attention. My own dog spends lots of time outside enjoying fresh air and squirrels. I have a fenced yard and can take your pup on regular walks. My kids and I love animals and will be happy to cover scratches and cuddles while you're at work or out of town
“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!”
“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.”
“Our Charlie always gets great care with Edwin and Andrea. They send photos/updates daily and he gets plenty of opportunities for outdoor time, which he loves.”
“Stacy was amazing! We were just travelling through Lincoln and she made Lulu feel right at home so we could go to the NF concert on our travels! Such a great experience, I highly recommend her!”
“First rate care!! Ashley and Kyle watched our mini poodle while we were gone for eleven days. They sent pics and videos, went for walks, played and gave him lots of love and attention. We would gladly have them watch our pup again, and highly recommend them for anyone looking for quality care for your pup while you are away.”
“Kassidy was amazing at keeping us updated throughout our dogs stay!! He is normally such a shy guy but he really seemed to open up with her and it looked like he had a blast! We’re so grateful that she was able to watch him while we were out of town!”

“I rarely give 5 star reviews, but Lora was so amazing! She said our dogs were the first ones she did visits with, but our dogs seemed happy in every picture she sent us. She visited as discussed, took time to give them scritches and love on them. I was really impressed and so long as we live in Lincoln we will be reaching out to Lora for our fur babies.”
About: I currently have a large bernedoodle, and a kitty! I am familiar with the ins and outs of all the care and support pets may require, that’s why I’m here to help you in any way! I’ve pet sat for numerous friends, family, and neighbours and I love caring for their pets as if they were my own!
“Hannah was so great with Joe- it was clear he loved her the way he would cuddle and lay by her!! She followed all my detailed instructions and sent great notes and pics that helped me since I was missing him A LOT! We will definitely use Hannah again.”
“Maria was amazing with our pets! She was so patient with our shy cat, and went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of after his automatic feeder had issues while we were out of town. She even made sure to feed and check in on our fish and turtle. We received updates and pictures after each visit, which was great for our peace of mind! Our pets had a great time with her!”
“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 grew up with several dogs and cats of different breeds and sizes. I also worked at a doggy daycare where I gained even more hands-on experience with dogs. I work during the week but can still stop by to give potty breaks. My weekends are totally free for any care that is needed! I provide a safe, comfortable environment for pets around me. My experience with animals lets me handle a variety of situations. My top priority is a pets comfort.
About: I work in management in the pet care industry and have experience caring for animals with a wide range of personalities, needs, and comfort levels. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their home environment, especially while their owners are away. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all ages, including kittens and senior cats who may need extra patience, attention, or medication support. I always take time to learn each cat’s routine and personality so they can feel as relaxed and cared for as possible.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I currently live with two small dogs that I’ve been taking care of for the last 8 years. I have a lot of experience with both extremely small dogs like Miniature Yorkies as well as large dogs like German Shepards. I think I’m also very good puppies and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about me. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule so I can take care of your pets at almost all hours of any day. If you need me to check on your pets at 2AM that’s fine with me.😊 I am happy to accommodate for your pets and keep their schedules as normal as possible while you are away. I can take them for their daily walk or continue feeding them at their normal times.
“Mikaela had stepped in and helped me with letting my two dogs out when I lost my regular person. We had a meet and greet at the dog park before the service began and another one at the house. She is very responsible and reliable, plus the pups love her.”
About: I’ve dog sat for about 8ish years for family and friends. I also have two dogs of my own, a Mini Golden doodle and a Westie. My family also fosters dogs occasionally so I have lots of experience with different dogs and personalities. I work full time from 8:00am-4:30pm but I’m always open to provide care early anytime between 6:00am and before 7:30am. And can provide care anytime after 4:30pm. And am free anytime on the weekends. At home we have a fenced in backyard for our fur babies and let them outside to potty and play multiple times a day. When I dog sit I usually just provide services at the clients home and don’t bring the pets to my own house. But will of course provide the same care and let the pets out multiple times a day to play and potty, and will provide walks for the pets for any client that requests.
“Maven did a great job with drop-in visit for my two cats. The cats were fed and watered and I received a detailed report with pictures. Will definitely contact her again. Thank you Maven!”
“Wr needed a dog/house sitter for a last minute trip. I didn't want just anyone, either. Ibqas so worried our dogs were just going to be let out 3-4 times a day, and not get any play time. That was not the case when I got on here and found Ashlee. She was simply amazing! She sent me pictures of our dogs multiple times a day, was always checking in with me. Our dogs usually have separation anxiety and they seemed to do just fine with her! She walked our dogs multiple times, spoiled the with treats, played with them outside for a while! We were very blessed to have found Ashlee. We liked her so much we booked her again when we went to a concert, and we have her potentially booked for our vacation in February! She is a fantastic dog/house sitter. Thanks again, Ashlee! ?”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats my entire life, from playful kittens to calm seniors, and I understand how each cat has their own personality and needs. I provide feeding, litter box maintenance, gentle play, and plenty of companionship, making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I take pride in creating a calm, stress free environment and following care instructions closely, whether it’s for feeding schedules, special routines, or administering medications. My goal is to give you peace of mind while your cat enjoys consistent attention, affection, and care.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Malcolm
“Jamie was very inviting. She met me at the door and greeted me. Her house was set up so well for dogs. Tinkerbell enjoyed having time outside with their dogs. I highly recommend Jamie and will definitely consider for future bookings”
“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.”
“Andrea and Ed and their 3 fur babies welcomed Moose into their home and took such good care of him! Thank you so much, hope Moose can visit again soon!”
“Maizy came home a happy dog. She was happy to see me at he end of the day but seemed happy to hang out a while longer too. She met new friends, played hard, and came home with tired paws. I think Stacy, Pearl, and Fred are beloved friends now.”
“Garth and Tracy were amazing! We were in the area for a family reunion and were struggling with what to do with our puppy for a large part of the day. Garth and Tracy were kind enough to accept a next day booking for us and did a wonderful job caring for Gus. He seemed very happy when we picked him up and we were so relieved to be able to leave Gus somewhere where we did not need to worry about him at all. If we ever find ourselves back in the area or have friends/family that need help with their dog nearby, Garth and Tracy will be our first choice.”
“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 :)))”
“Shawn and Melissa were awesome! They kept me updated with pictures and texts of Charlie. I was super happy and hope to use them again!! Would recommend to anyone who wants a happy place for their pup!”
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.

“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: 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.
“Alayna and her accommodations for our dog couldn’t have been more perfect! Her sweetness and enthusiasm for the dogs is genuine. We will definitely use her services again and recommend her to everyone!!🥰🐾♥️”
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.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Malcolm
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. Neighbors, friends & family always rely on me when they happen to be out of town! I currently work full-time. However, I do work in town and always go home on my lunch breaks. I am available all week nights as I work 8-4:30. I currently live in an apartment, so I have no fenced in yard. However, I always take my dog for long walks throughout the neighborhood, to the dog park, and for car rides!
About: I've grown up around all different breeds and temperaments of dogs and have dog sat for both small and large pups! I'm also looking to study animal science or go the pre vet route in college! I'm currently working a part time job only a few hours a few times a week so I will have plenty of time to walk, check in on, or stop by and spend time with your pup! I care for pets making sure they feel safe and comfortable as well as communicating with owners so I know what kinds of things their dogs like to do or things to avoid
About: I grew up in a home for rescues and have loved every pet. I adore caring for animals. I'm 19, but have trained almost every dog (out of 7) that I've had. I am extremely flexible, if I have about a day or two notice, I can do just about anything your fur baby needs me for. I would not offer services in my home due to a shy pet of my own. I will, however, groom, take on walks, take to their appointments, let outside, or generally care for your pet from your home.
About: Taking care of animals has been a responsibility of mine since I was little. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, horses, and other smaller animals throughout my life. I am currently wrapping up my final semester at the University of Nebraska. I am home/available most of the time since my classes are online. Happy to communicate and work around your schedule! I live in an apartment with lots of grass, a dog park, and a safe surrounding neighborhood to roam. I am willing to care for your fur-baby in any way needed!
About: Hi! I’m Allyson. I’ve always loved being around animals and have been the reliable pet-sitter for friends and family for years. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so your pet gets plenty of attention, walks, and care. I’m big on following routines and keeping pets comfortable, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re doing great. Looking forward to meeting your furry buddy! 🐾 I work remotely and can be flexible when needed! I am able to adjust to most schedules and can communicate with you on needs and expectations. I would abide by your rules in order to keep your pet safe and secure, and ensure we are communicating all the same! I look forward to it.
“Amanda has been amazing with our puppy. She has gone above and beyond to make sure our little guy is taken care of. We have been using her for two weeks now and appreciate all her help and time.”

I’ve pet sat for numerous friends, family, and neighbours and I love caring for their pets as if they were my own! I am available all hours of the weekends, as well as Wednesday- Friday! I do work part time hours on Monday and Tuesday but am willing to work around that! I am willing to walk or play with your doggo outside anytime I notice they might need some fun! I also can bring my own cat toys as needed to help your kitty with their hunting inclinations.
About: I have a Siberian Husky and we love to travel and go on adventures! I love going on walks and wouldn’t mind having another furry friend to join us! I live in a house with 2 female dogs (my husky and my roommates pitbull) along with one kiddo who also loves animals as well! Prefer to meet and greet in advance if you book your animal to stay at my house. I work full time at a bank most days. I wake up in the mornings to let my dogs out and feed them and then they free roam the house during the day. When I get home at night I feed them again and take them out for walks or to the lake or dog park to run free and have fun with other dogs! I have a small yard that is not fenced in where my dogs get placed on a leash to do their business. They get let out multiple times a day between my roommate and myself. I also have a kennel for if your pet needs it during the day when nobody’s home.
“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!”
“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 treat clients' homes and family members with utmost care and respect, and I love on my pet clients like they are my own. I have nearly a decade of professional sitting experience at all stages of the life cycle, from bottle feeding to end-of-life support. My availability opened up when my beloved cat, Hugo, passed in December 2025. He was my special big boy and my joy; I miss him every day! During the last year of his life, I managed his multiple major health conditions including diabetes, kidney failure, and congestive heart failure. He had chronic urinary issues for his entire life despite prescription diets and various intervention attempts, and thus I was always on the lookout for signs of UTI. My boy was anxious and became notorious at multiple veterinary clinics for getting agitated during his checkups. I am eternally grateful to every person who showed him love and gentleness when his behavior was challenging. I strive to show the same loving care to my clients with the promise that even "difficult" pets will be treated like my absolute favorite creature on earth. Depending on the level of care required, I am comfortable with meeting in person or virtually before the sit. My ability to give medication will vary by the relationship and administration method. I typically ask that I perform an on-site home visit before the sit with any pets needing insulin injections, oral (both pill and liquid) medications, or subcutaneous fluid. As a singer and gig worker, I ensure that flexibility is built into my schedule. I am frequently available during business hours and around holidays! Bringing a sense of security is critical in this work. I have one client who requested a short video of the door being locked each day. I will work with you and make every effort to let you know that your home and/or loved one is in good hands.
About: I’ve watched dogs for about 5 years of all ages and sizes. Ages from 1-13 and sizes from 15 pounds to 150 pounds. I love to get play and cuddle time since I moved away from my pup! I am a student in college with one part time job on Wednesday and Friday from 5:30 pm to 9 pm. I love the idea of a flexible schedule that will get me outside. I can dog sit in the clients home as I live in an apartment and can’t have pets at mine. I have a car if the distance is a bit further so I don’t mind going there.
About: Experienced pet sitter with 5 years of experience providing excellent animal care. Proven ability to maintain a positive and comforting environment, exercise animals regularly, and communicate professionally with pet owners. Committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all animals in my care. As a college student, I'm looking for a side hustle to utilize my free time from studying. As well as giving me an activity to help me release from stress. I have a fenced yard as well as many treats. We're also in a house with two floors so lots of space to run around!
About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I love all kinds of animals. I grew up with a boxer and have been taking care of my neighbors pets for years. I am a college student, with class typically between 9:00am and 1:00pm. I have very flexible availability of a variety of pet car. I care for others pets as if they are my own.

About: I've cared for and loved family pets (beagle, staffy, and pit) all my life, but as a young adult living in an apartment away from home, I'm looking to befriend some local canine pals! Play, walking, cuddles, and parks: I want to leave pets happy and ready for their nap!! I'm currently working a part-time research position, with free time to care for your pets! I am unable to board animals, but my flexibility allows for check-ins throughout the day! My time with your pet will be for active engagement and physical monitoring, responsive to their needs. I'm happy to have short meetings to ensure fit and want to collaborate to optimize your pet's care.
About: I’ve had pets around for as long as I can remember. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I even have training experience with puppies. I have also taken care of special needs dogs before, including an epileptic dog, so I have lots of experience with animals that have special needs . I also worked at a wildlife rehab this past summer so I have experience with proper administration of eye meds, oral meds, and SQ injections in mammals. My family fosters dogs so I am familiar with all sorts of dogs. I’m currently a college student home for break. I’m majoring in fisheries and wildlife at UNL and plan to work in an animal related field in the future. I will have lots of time to care for all of your pets. I do have my own kitty at home, so I just need to make sure I have enough time to take care of him twice daily. I will mostly be focusing on your pets and what they need as this is my main summer job for now. I have house sat for clients and family/friends for years. I will be sure to do whatever it takes to fulfill your pet’s needs while you are away, keeping them happy, healthy, and safe.

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.
