Personalized care for your dog or cat - Nickerson
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Nickerson
“I had a family emergency so I had to leave town on short notice and she responded very quickly. She was nice and was responsive. She did a great job at keeping me updated and letting me know how my dog was doing. So thank you for watching Rex for me! I appreciate it!!”
“Amazing experience with boarding our pups with Alex and Sarah! It was the first time boarding our fur babies so we had questions about the process. They were very responsive and provided all the information quickly and thoroughly. We appreciated the frequent updates/photos and videos while we were away. It was a great feeling to know our dogs were in such great care. Highly recommend!”
“Dazhi was so amazing with our cat! She was giving us frequent updates and did everything to make she feel comfortable with her. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future :)”
“Allyson and her family were great! She was awesome about sending updates and helping us relax while we were out of town. Our dog seemed sad to leave, he had such a great time. We will definitely be re-booking and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I can handle all temperaments of dogs, and can asses them quickly on arrival. If they’re not good with others, no problem! I have many separate areas. If they love joining the pack, then great! Either way they’ll never be left alone. I have bred goldendoodles, and still do. I have a full in house professional dog washing station as well :). I just love dogs. I recently switched careers as I am turning nearly 40. I have the whole summer off, then school for nursing (mostly online, starting in September of 2026). If I’m ever not here, my parents that live nearby will be with the pups. Never unattended. I own my home with a big backyard with several dog areas fenced in. I have separate dog areas in the house for different temperaments (not all dogs love joining the pack at first and that’s ok!). I have two goldendoodles who love friends! At this time I’m only doing boarding, I’ll watch over, feed, give medications etc, of course making sure they get their energy out playing and walking as well.
“She helped me out so much when I was in a real pinch. I would have had to cancel my vacation without her help. I will definitely be taking my dog back. He seemed to have had the time of his life playing with her dogs. I would highly recommend leaving your dog in her very dog friendly hands.”
“My dog loved being at her house. She immediately took to the occupants. There were toys galore that she spread all over the place. The pictures shared of her let me know she was doing great. Very positive experience for us.”
“Absolutely wonderful!! My baby girl Lola was so well taken care of in Patricia’s care. This was my first time using Rover and she made sure she sent lots of photos every day which really eased my worry of being away for so long! I cannot thank her enough for such a great job! Lola can’t wait to be back next, thank you again! <3”
“Our poodle had a wonderful stay and enjoyed playing with Cheryl's two dogs. Cheryl sent pics of the dogs and my family loved the updates. We hope to have our dog stay with Cheryl in the future! Thanks for a great weekend, Cheryl!”
“Bryanne was amazing! She took very good care of my pup Apollo and he definitely seemed to have lots of fun! Very responsive and provided updates! We will definitely come back to her!”
“Sarah & Jason did a wonderful job watching our dog Bruce. They were quick with responses, and even sent multiple pictures and videos keeping us updated on how our fur-baby was doing while we were away.”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Danielle and her family over the Christmas holiday! She made him feel right at home ☺️ We would be happy to have him stay there again in the future!!”
“Wallie came home tired from his long weekend stay with Amanda and her dogs! I originally picked her because she was close to where I live but I would choose her again even if I lived further. Was provided plenty of photos and am confident that my dog was happy and healthy in her care.”
“Our dog absolutely loved her time with Hannah’s family. We loved and appreciated all of the updates and pictures. Our pup had a blast and we definitely will be having puppy play dates in the future!”

“Alyssa was great! We hired her to take care of our three cats and our pet rat! She was very good about responding to messages and always sent pictures from every visit! Will definitely use Alyssa again!”
About: I've cared for cats for friends, family, and my own pets, and I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine. I'm comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a Certified Nursing Assistant, I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to details, so I'll carefully follow your cat's routine and keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit.
“Brittany is an exceptional pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my cat and did an excellent job in every way. She was kind, attentive, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She truly went above and beyond by sending me pictures of my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind and showed how much she cared. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them with love and patience. I am very grateful for the care she provided, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I grew up with animals, so I am comfortable around and am experienced with them. I also frequently dog and cat sit for friends and acquaintances! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to give animals the time and love they need! I also am flexible with schedule. I offer dog walking and services only at client's home, but I am careful, trustworthy, and will follow instructions well. I will accommodate to whatever you and your pet needs!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and experience with pets of all ages and needs. I have hands-on experience training puppies with basic commands and crate training, as well as providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need medication, extra patience, or mobility support. I’m also highly reliable and communicative I always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so they feel connected and reassured while they're away. My calm, friendly approach helps pets feel safe and at ease, whether it’s their first time with a sitter or they need special care. I treat every animal like they’re my own, and that personal connection makes all the difference. Pet care fits into my daily routine as a consistent and rewarding responsibility. Every morning starts with feeding my dog and taking him for a quick walk to get some energy out before the day begins. In the evenings, I usually spend about 30 minutes either going on a longer walk or playing fetch at the park. On weekends, I make time for grooming like brushing his fur or giving him a bath if needed and sometimes schedule vet checkups or pick up new toys or treats. It’s a routine that keeps me grounded, and it’s always nice to end the day with a loyal companion by my side. When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment. For dogs, I ensure they have regular feeding times, fresh water, daily walks, and playtime to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as administering medications or adhering to training routines. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s regular schedule to reduce stress from their owner's absence. I clean up after the pet, monitor behavior for signs of illness or anxiety, and send updates (with photos) to the owner for peace of mind. Whether it’s overnight care, walking, or short visits, my goal is to make each pet feel safe and loved while their owner is away.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and former vet assistant with years of hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. My family owns a veterinary clinic, and I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life at one point, we had 17 pets at home! Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from playful kittens to senior cats who just want quiet company. I understand feline behavior and know how to make even the shyest cats feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their own space. Whether your cat needs daily check-ins, playtime, or a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your cat the loving, reliable care they deserve.
“Gabrielle was absolutely perfect in looking after our 4 cats while we were away. Right before leaving, our youngest cat had some sort of upset stomach. While it quickly resolved and allowed us to carry out our travel plans, Gabrielle was quick to put our minds at ease by keeping us informed of the cat’s eating habits. She also went above and beyond to make sure our more timid cat - who hides from strangers - got her food while hiding behind the washing machine. This timid cat even began to hide less often during Gabrielle’s time stopping in. We returned home to 4 very happy cats. No question Gabrielle is top notch and will put your mind at ease during travel!”
About: I have watched several peoples pets over the years. From dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and birds. I have also volunteered at the local humane society and other organizations in high school. I have two Guinea pigs and a horse. I am a massive animal lover!! I work full-time but work from home so I have a fairly flexible schedule. This slows me to accommodate many requests and devote extra time as needed. I live in an house and have Guinea pigs (though they will be in a different room). So your pet must be house trained! I would be able to take them out to a nearby park several times a day. Along with a worthwhile walk depending on needs.
About: While I haven’t officially cat sat before, I’ve spent plenty of time around cats and am very comfortable caring for them. I’ve always loved animals, and I’ve gotten to know and spend time with my neighborhood cat, which has helped me learn more about cat behavior, personalities, and how they communicate. I understand that cats often have their own routines and preferences, and I know the importance of being patient, gentle, and respectful of their space. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following your cat’s care instructions closely, whether that includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I genuinely enjoy being around cats and would treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs most of life, six dogs in total. Most recently I had a German Shepherd, Australian Cattle dog mix name Waylan.

To name a few I have taken care of Pit Terriers, Bull Terriers, Australian Cattle Dogs, Great Dane, Bearded Collies, Bearded Dragon, Mice, Hedgehog, and many cats. All from different families and all in-home stays. I consider myself an observant and knowledgeable animal lover. When it comes to special skills, I have experience training and administering medicine. My work schedule is M-F, 8:30 to 5pm in-office. Outside of those hours, I spend with your pets. Despite working full-time in-office, the happiness and safety of your pets is still my number one concern. I am looking forward to the care and attention I can give your pets in their home environment. I have experience taking care of dogs on farms, in apartments, and town homes.

About: I have taken care of cows, sheep, and a dog or two on my family’s farm. I moved to Fremont, NE for my job but miss getting a lot of time outside and working with animals.

For the summer I am unavailable on the weekends but will be back with a more available schedule this fall. I want the pet to feel comfortable around me. The more information you can share about your environment/the pet’s regular environment the better for me.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Nickerson
“Kati took GREAT care of Emma while we were away for a day. Emma was spayed a couple of days ago and needed extra special care/meds and Kati didn’t even second guess taking care of her! We will DEFINITELY book her again!”
About: I am a dog trainer who is currently in school of it. Known for boarding, training and walking. I have multiple certificates for dog training. I have experience with dogs from birth to senior. I am a full-time dog trainer offering boarding walking and training Monday through Sunday. I’m happy to help where I can. Working with dogs is my favorite thing to do. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy dig pit, a doggie pool, plenty of toys, and two friendly dogs, which can be created
“Keeley was awesome! I needed daycare last minute and she responded instantly. Winnie came home ready to snooze and was so excited to go back the next day. Keeley kept me updated with cute pictures of her and Goose that made me laugh. I will definitely be using Keeley and Ethen again!”
“Alex and Sarah was great for the first day!! They let me set up a meet and greet with there two doggos, George and Milo, beforehand! Received a few photos of Winston (my dog) and George throughout the day! They are going to be besties! I will be using them full time for the future!”
About: Your pup must be respectful of cats please. I completely understand curiosity, just not stalking or chasing. I took so much care of our lab when she was 15 and had Cushings. I definitely have a sweet spot for senior pets. She has since crossed the 🌈. Max is our 5 yr old Husky/Lab mix and he's our sweet big boy. We have love for big and small dogs! We have a huge grassy 6 and 4 ft fenced in yard (we connected to our neighbors 4 ft fence - see pictures) and Max would seriously love a friend to play with or just chill with. My husband and I work from home so one of us will be home all the time. We usually go on a mid morning walk and an evening walk, weather permitting. My kids are 11 and 16 and adore animals. We have a cat, Freddy, who loves Max. We will love your pet like they were our own ♥️ My husband and I work from home full-time. Our dog has separation anxiety so one of us will be home when your pet is here! We have a 6 and 4 ft privacy fence, large grassy backyard. Max gets on the leather couch but not our fabric couch or bed. He doesn't ever try. We wake up early to feed Max at 7 so early mornings is a non issue in our house! We typically go on 2 short walks a day (15-20 min). We're a chill household.
“Mark did a great job taking care of our dog Boo. Boo was always excited to see Mark when we dropped him off for daycare. Mark sent several pictures every day, which we loved seeing. We will definitely use Mark again.”
“I recently moved to the Omaha area from the other side of the state knowing virtually no one, and I can’t say how thankful I am to have selected Katie and Brandt from all of the options of pet sitters around me. We were so difficult at the beginning with some various needs/scheduling/etc and they were nothing short of warm and understanding. They are so welcoming and amazing to work with. My dog LOVES going to their home and basically forgets I exist when he’s there. I have a high energy breed and I can tell that they truly take the time to play with him and he is always just so so so happy when I pick him up. I can’t rave enough how much I truly enjoy Katie and Brandt and their care of my dog, I can tell they love him and care for him as if he’s their own.”

One of my dogs at home is deaf and we use signing to communicate/train.

“Jill was awesome! She was able to host Baxter on relatively short notice. It was our first time leaving him anywhere and Jill did a great job keeping us updated on how he was doing. Baxter came home happy and sleepy!!”
“Brad and his family are great. Brad sent videos and photos of our dog playing hard with his dog. They were a great match. Brad is super easy to work with even when I messed up the dates on the app. If you are looking for a fun play date for your dog, this is the place to go.”
“Milo really enjoyed himself at Jill’s. He played with her doggies and had so much fun. Jill is very easy going, lovely home and yard. Very clean and perfect set up for the dogs to run and play. Will be using her again!”
“Alecia is so great with Tefiti. We know we can trust her to take care of her. Tefiti also loves her pup who is well socialized and well behaved. Great communication, consistency and care! We started booking with her at least once per week because Tefiti always comes home happy.”
“My Golden Retriever puppy absolutely loved his doggy daycare time with Liz and her crew of animals. He came home exhausted and happy from the day's activities. Liz was great about sending photos and videos to keep me updated throughout the day. Won't hesitate to use her again in the future!”

“We had to find a last minute replacement, with meeting with Adam and him asking all kinds of questions plus seeing Rykers interactions with him. We were put at ease that we could trust Adam with our furry baby. He was in good hands. Adam is really respectful with touching in when needed to update time due to his work schedule, he kept us in the loop asap and promptly responded back as well. Provided us updates as well and overall amazing pet sitter. We highly recommend and will book more with him in future as well. Thank you again for being amazing with Ryker”

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. My last fur baby was a Puggle that was handicapped. She lost the use of her hind legs at age 6. She needed help going potty, I got her a wheelchair so we could still go on walks which she absolutely loved and was important to keep her as healthy as possible! She needed more care then my other dogs, she really trained me to help other dogs that need alittle more care. I have had Dachshunds, Cocker Spaniels, Boston Terriers and Puggle. I love any breed of fur babies, they all want love and belly scratches!! My schedule is pretty open and am willing to work with you to get the best help for your dog. My schedule is pretty flexible and would be available to spend a night or two at your home if needed. I would work with you to get the best care for your dog. I would not be able to have your pet in my home as I live in an apartment. I would take them for walks, let them out to go potty and stretch their legs. <ake sure they are fed and have fresh water. and the best part i'll sit with them and give love and make them feel comfortable with me in your absence . And of course clean up after them, I have 7 yrs experience of caring for a special needs dog.

About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week. I am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks only on the weekends (I am available all day on Saturdays and Sundays to do these) due to working as a teacher, however if you ever need a drop in or dog walk in the evening during the week please feel free to send me a request for it! I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible! If you have any requests on what you would like me to do with your pet(s), no matter which service it might fall under, please let me know!
About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs. I even took care of my senior childhood dog. I now have two dachshunds of my own. I also did some cat and dog sitting in high school. I love to go on walks and am looking forward to meeting new pet friends! I am currently looking for a new job so I am always available. I am planning on working during the week days and also adding a couple school classes in the fall. I have a fenced yard and two friendly mini dachshunds. There is a cat in the house who will stay away from new pets. I can take dogs out as much as needed, feed them, take them on walks, and play with them!
About: I am a wildlife veterinarian that enjoys spending time with any and all pets! I have two cats at home that I love dearly. Our favorite things are treats, backpack walks, bubble time, and cat naps. I have cared for the shy, fearful shelter dog to the playful, rowdy puppy to the kitten with the zoomies to the elderly cat that prefers peace and quiet. I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your pet(s)! I have committed to a career in animal health. I am here to give pets love and attention while their owners are away during the day. I look forward to filling my weekends caring for your pets! I have two cats at home therefore I cannot care for your pets in my own home. However, in your homes, I will follow instructions provided. Communication is key to safe, trusted pet care.

We could go to the dog park if you wanted us to, or just stay at home and go on walks and spend some great quality time together. Treats always included! You won’t ever have to worry about your little (or big!) loved one when they’re with me because I promise to provide outstanding care! With me, they’ll get nothing but love and a great new friend and I can’t wait to meet y’all!

About: (If the prices seem high, I'm sorry. Rover does take 20% of payments.) 🐶 I have always loved all dogs and grew up around all dog types. I have also been able to help/give love to most dogs others wouldn't or couldn't. I love all furry animals🐕🐈 I'm a mother to 3 older boys, who love animals just as much as I do. Your family's dog/dog's are more then welcome to come with me and the family to most anything we do😁 I'm able to be home with my puppy who is socialized with other dogs and loves the company of another furry friend. I have the capability to separate her from any new furry friends that may have a hard time with other furry friends, if need be. I can't wait to be able to give your loved family member/ members care and love. I treat every animal in my care as if they were a family member. I would also do what's asked if there's extra care needed.

“I had a family emergency so I had to leave town on short notice and she responded very quickly. She was nice and was responsive. She did a great job at keeping me updated and letting me know how my dog was doing. So thank you for watching Rex for me! I appreciate it!!”
“Dazhi was so amazing with our cat! She was giving us frequent updates and did everything to make she feel comfortable with her. I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future :)”
About: I can handle all temperaments of dogs, and can asses them quickly on arrival. If they’re not good with others, no problem! I have many separate areas. If they love joining the pack, then great! Either way they’ll never be left alone. I have bred goldendoodles, and still do. I have a full in house professional dog washing station as well :). I just love dogs. I recently switched careers as I am turning nearly 40. I have the whole summer off, then school for nursing (mostly online, starting in September of 2026). If I’m ever not here, my parents that live nearby will be with the pups. Never unattended. I own my home with a big backyard with several dog areas fenced in. I have separate dog areas in the house for different temperaments (not all dogs love joining the pack at first and that’s ok!). I have two goldendoodles who love friends! At this time I’m only doing boarding, I’ll watch over, feed, give medications etc, of course making sure they get their energy out playing and walking as well.
“She helped me out so much when I was in a real pinch. I would have had to cancel my vacation without her help. I will definitely be taking my dog back. He seemed to have had the time of his life playing with her dogs. I would highly recommend leaving your dog in her very dog friendly hands.”
“Absolutely wonderful!! My baby girl Lola was so well taken care of in Patricia’s care. This was my first time using Rover and she made sure she sent lots of photos every day which really eased my worry of being away for so long! I cannot thank her enough for such a great job! Lola can’t wait to be back next, thank you again! <3”

“Brittany is an exceptional pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my cat and did an excellent job in every way. She was kind, attentive, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She truly went above and beyond by sending me pictures of my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind and showed how much she cared. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them with love and patience. I am very grateful for the care she provided, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
