Personalized care for your dog or cat - Malcolm
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Malcolm
“Jamie and Daniel were very nice and accommodating. We'll prepared with note cards of the dogs info and apple air tags for the dogs. Sent daily pics of the dogs. Would definitely use them again.”
“Jamie did great with my two dogs. She kept me updated everyday with how they were doing and what they had been up to. I highly recommend her if you need a good home for your pets to stay.”
“Our dogs had a great time. They were given attention and because of all of the pictures that were sent we could tell they felt at home all of the pictures that were sent to us”
“Jania and family were the blessing we didn’t know we needed! After leaving for vacation and realizing our original plan to leave our dog at our house and have friends pop in and out throughout the week, was not going to work for our anxious, clingy dog. We were desperate and stressed, not only did Jania respond within 5 mins to my email, but she agreed to take our dog that same day. Her communication instantly put me at ease and the photos sent twice a day were the icing on top. I was able to completely put aside any concerns and enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was happy, loved, and well taken care of! I cannot say enough good things!!”
“There’s no one we trust more than Stacy to care for our sweet Havanese, Mika, when we’re out of town. She loves each of her boarders like they are her own 🩷 We love that she only takes small dogs as Mika is intimidated by big dogs. Stacy’s home is set up perfectly for dogs, with gates, furniture they can set on, and a separate area if a dog needs a little space to themselves. Mika is 13 so sometimes she needs a little time to herself. Stacy has the perfect backyard for the dogs, with a large covered deck and a few steps down to a large open area (fenced) to potty and explore. Mika is always excited to see Stacy and her husband Todd! They are the best!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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. 😊”
“Marie was excellent! She communicated consistently and provided great care for my 7 month frenchie. I would recommend her to anyone who needs boarding or pet care!”
“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!!!!❤️❤️🐶”
“Great, great, great, people who take amazing care of our dog. The booking was somewhat last minute, but Ashley and Kyle were very accommodating. We are so thankful they are part of our dog’s life, and we trust them 100% with our dog anytime we need to be away.”
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
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.

“Maria was amazing. I never questioned if my fur babies were taken care of while we were away. She went above and beyond for us. Thank you for your help!! Izzy and Felix appreciate everything you did and so do we”
“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’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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 have grown up around animals my entire life and pet sat for family members while they're on vacation for a week or even longer! I am currently only doing this so I am open to anything anytime! I am open to staying overnight and doing some cleaning for you! I will ask for detailed instructions and behaviour about the animal and any trigger things for the animal, I want to have the best care.
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’ve had my own cat for 4 years and truly enjoy caring for him. I understand that he can be independent but still need attention, routine, and a calm environment. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure he feels comfortable. I understand cats may love to play or prefer their space. I’ll keep you updated so you always know how your cat is doing.
About: My family primarily owned cats as I grew up. I have always enjoyed the being of cats - their wise nature, their quirkiness, their affection... As an adult, I have owned 5 cats over 25 years - I have a younger boy now, but my prior 4 were all well into their senior lives before they passed (over 20 years old for 2 of them). I am happy to work with all ages of cats, with all temperaments. I think cats are often misunderstood and simply need a little patience and respect. I am happy to provide medications if needed, and can certainly clean a litter box if desired. I'm happy to throw a ball or wave a feather wand to keep your kitty engaged and happy. It's all in a day's care!
About: I’ve cared for cats for years and currently have five of my own, so I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, giving cats space when they need it, and making sure they feel safe when their owners are away.
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
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“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”
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.
“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!”
“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 😊”
“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!”
“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.
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: 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.
“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 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.
“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: 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!
“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'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 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.

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.

“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.”
“Derek was great w/Oso. My little bear 🐻 was very calm before & after I picked him up.

He is still a pup & everything is new still, however I agree with him & appreciate his advice. I will probably book him again 😀.”
