“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!”

“I was concerned about leaving our pup as we stick pretty close to home. Jamie was great with Wally and sent photos several times a day. He had plenty of outdoor and snuggle time with the kids. When he had tummy trouble, I was notified. I felt at ease with the care he received and wouldn't hesitate to utilize Jamie in the future.”

“First time leaving our dog in 12 years and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Made our week long trip worry free. They sent lots of pics of all the snuggles he got. Will definitely go back again!”
“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 :)”

“We have used Emily and her lovely family to care for our senior dog on 2 different occasions and we will not hesitate to reach out again if needed. They have been so flexible and kind both times. I appreciate the great and timely communication. It can be a little nerve wracking leaving an older dog (with some issues) but Emily made us feel very comfortable! 10/10 recommend!”


About: We love all animals and treat them as family. There is care for the animal in the home 24/7. Patient with all types of animals. Work flexibility. I am working full time but my partner works from home. Pets will have company 24/7 with bathroom breaks as needed. If the owner and dog are comfortable with it car rides for fun and to the dog park are always an option. We are able to take an animal in at any time. We will both be home on weekends. Plenty of play time. I have a fenced yard. I have cats in the home but gates to keep them easily separated. I have water fountains for easy access to water. I have experience with giving medication and taking care of animals with bathroom issues.
“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.”


“Betty seemed to enjoy her time with Kathi! Kathi was very flexible when I needed to modify her drop-off time. I felt very comfortable leaving her there and trusted that Kathi would care for her well.”

“Infinity is amazing!!! She took great care of my pup and was very attentive. She was also communicative and sent me updates everyday which I really appreciated. Pup got lots of love and came back home tired. We will definitely be using again!”

“Jenni P and her whole family are Wonderful!!! Her and her family took great care of my Penelope! She updated me multiple times a day on how she was doing, sent a bunch of pictures and video. I was completely at ease having her take care of my baby. I will recommend her to anybody I hear needing to book their pet!!! Can't thank them enough. You can really tell how much they care and what a great Job they do!!! Book Them Seriously!!!”

About: My wife and I have both grown-up with dogs in our homes our whole lives and have passed our love of dogs onto our early elementary aged son as well. We have a 4-year old, cream colored labradoodle named Curious George Banks, aka George. We also have a 1-year old, red & white mini bernedoodle named Hank. I am home full-time and your dog will get lots of playtime, love, care, and attention. Your dog will be able to be inside our home or go outside into our fenced in backyard as much as he/she wants. Our own dogs just ring the bells on the backdoor anytime they want to go out, so it is pretty much a revolving door. :o) We have experience providing dogs with oral medication if needed and will follow any instructions you provide us for the care of your fur-baby. We are excited to meet your dog, make them feel like family, and give them a fun, loving place to stay, in a safe and quiet neighborhood and home while you are gone. Drop off/pick up times are 7:00 a.m.-9:00 pm. If you need to drop off earlier than 7:00 a.m. please plan to bring your dog the night before. Pet care is a regular part of our daily routine already since we have our own dogs. I am home during the day and my wife is an elementary teacher. We can provide multiple feeding times a day, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, lots of play and companionship. We would be able to have dogs in our home for overnights, which can fall on any day, Monday thru Sunday. We are not able to go to your home or do overnights in your home though. We live in a ranch style home, in a quiet neighborhood. We have a backyard that is completely secured by a 6 foot tall fence. There are three steps up to our front porch and there is one step going into the backyard. We spend most of our time on our main floor, so if stairs are an issue for your dog they can mostly be avoided except for the step in and out to the backyard. Our neighborhood is a safe and friendly place for my wife to take your dog on walks. Our son, who is in early elementary school, loves dogs and would enjoy playing with your dog(s), giving them belly rubs, along with lots of love and affection. We also have two dogs, a labradoodle and a mini bernedoodle who are a friend to all dogs and are use to socializing with dogs of all ages and sizes from a tiny 5 lb chihuahua mix to a 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dog. In our home, pets are treated like family. They're welcome on the couch and bed, and anywhere they feel most comfortable. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care every step of the way. We want to meet your dog where they are at and provided them with a place where they feel safe and loved. We are gentle with animals and will follow precisely whatever instructions you give us for care.
“Meaghan was great with our two dogs Stella and Brickle! Brickle has bad separation anxiety and has destructive behaviors if left alone so finding a dog sitter for him has been such a big challenge and Meaghan agreed without hesitation! She took both dogs on several walks a day, sent photos and updates, and cared for them like family! Definitely recommend Meaghan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and honest pet sitter!”

“Ashley and Kyle were amazing with Layla! It was my first time leaving her with a pet sitter, and they completely exceeded my expectations. They kept me updated with a lot of photos and messages throughout her stay, which really put my mind at ease. I could tell Layla was well cared for and happy the entire time. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.”

“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!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs through all stages of life. We’ve ALWAYS had dogs growing up in my family and as I’ve gotten older I’ve even helped raise a couple puppies. I dog sit for a few people from work and such whenever they go out and I’ve even helped a couple people potty train their puppies by just letting them out every couple hours while they were at work! I have a cat myself currently and have had multiple dogs (including special needs ones) in the past, so I understand working with animals multiple times every single day. I’d be at your house multiple times a day to let your animals out/check on them. When an animals owners go away I know they have to be sad or maybe even lonely. So I try to go out of my way to make sure they are comfortable while you’re away and even (if they’re not a playful type of pet) to play or cuddle with them for a few minutes at least each time I’d stop by so they get at least a little bit of pent up energy out.
“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!!”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort level. We always had a dog while o was growing up and as an adult I have always owned a dog (or two). I feel a house it’s a home without a dog! I currently own a Goldendoodle. I have experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administration of medication, playtime, and of course snuggles. I work until 5:30 p.m. most days of the week but, I am available evenings, and weekends to care for your pet whatever the need may be. In my full-time career as a registered nurse, attention to detail, reliability, and compassion are part of who I am. I naturally pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or other signs that something may not be right, and I communicate promptly with pet owners. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping their normal routine while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own and understand how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a member of your family.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs from a new puppy all the way to senior pets. Your pup will get plenty of play time and be loved as if it is our own. I currently work full time, but nearby. I am home for lunch each day to allow your pup out for bathroom breaks, play, or possibly a short walk. Fridays and the weekend we are home the majority of the time. I can provide both long and short walks as long as cuddles and play time. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly pup of my own. Our pup is neutered so we can accept any dog. We do have young children so prefer that your pup is familiar with kids. If food aggressive, please let us know so we can accommodate that appropriately. We prefer to crate during the time we are out of the house, but if your dog is not accustomed to that, we can make other arrangements.

They brought them into their home without question and had yard for them to stretch and play for a few hours with their pup. Highly recommend!”

“Alexis provided a safe and cool place for our dogs while we were passing through. Just needed a day so we could explore the zoo before getting back on the road with our dogs. She sent pics throughout the day and gave us a peace of mind in knowing our dogs were safe. If we’re ever in the area again and need a place for our dogs, we’d be happy to hire Alexis again. She was wonderful!”

I live in a gated complex, no running into the streets. The area is pretty spacious so walks may be down within the gated complex.
“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 are the absolute best. We were delayed getting back from our trip and they graciously offered to take our dog until the next day. He loves it there.”

“I wish I could leave 10 stars! Jasmine was so helpful in helping me give a new puppy a strong foundation in potty training while I was at work. She socialized him with her own pets, and I could count on her punctuality every day. I needed early morning drop-off, and she never let me down! Plus, my dog LOVES her, judging by his wiggle launches into her arms. She’s the best!”

About: I’ve been Pet Sitting officially for seven years, I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life, I love animals I even major in it for college. During college, I started to take on more clients during the summer and I would manage 20+ clients during a summer. I have experience in taking care of small animals like aquariums and fish, two large animals like horses and goats. I have experience managing medications, special needs, multiple pets, special diets, etc. whatever you throw my way I will be up for :) I do work as a manager at a golf course, But my schedule varies and I have large gaps in my day where I will be able to take care of your pet. I am not opposed to getting up early to make sure I get a visit in before a shift, or coming there immediately after work to spend some time with your Pet. I always wanna make sure I spend as much time with a pet as possible and make sure they’re getting their needs all met. I am more than willing to take care of pets at their home, that is their space. I will always make sure I visit multiple times in a day, or if you are up for it, stay overnight with pets. I always make sure all the doors are secure before I leave, everything is clean and put in the place, I always check to make sure there’s no accidents or issues with the pets and their area depending if they kennel or not. I don’t like to leave unless pets have eaten and have had plenty of time to go outside, take a walk, play.

I’ve cared for lots of pets of varying age and need ranges, so I am equipped to do whatever is needed for pets to thrive while their owners are away. I am used to taking dogs on long walks or snuggling under a blanket, and I have two very particular cats of my own so I know how to get kitties eating, playing, and comfortable!
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was able to walk. I have been dog sitting for family and friends for about 10 years now, and have a career as an animal Behaviorist at an animal shelter. I have a love for all animals, excluding the creepy crawlies I currently work full time in omaha, but can let pets out Sunday-Thursday at 7am and could let them back out at 6pm and stay the night. My Fridays and Saturdays are free and can hang out with them as much as possible. I currently have in my home a 7 year old diabetic husky who has to have is meds at exact times and exact dosages. I also have a wolf hybrid with tons of energy and needs constant enrichment and stimulation.
About: I live in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood that allows us to go on long, quiet walks. In addition, to walks we can play outside in our fenced yard, playing catch or fetching the ball or just lying in the sun enjoying ourselves. If you dog is older and just likes to have a relaxing day on the couch we can do that too. What ever you prefer your dog to do, I can give them. Their preferred schedules will be maintained for them and make sure that your dog gets extra love while you are gone. I am able to host any size dog for you and trust me they will feel as if they are a part of the family as well. Can't wait to meet you and your dog.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities—from high-energy puppies needing structure, training, and playtime to senior dogs who thrive with gentle walks and extra comfort. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique needs, routines, and quirks so they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for. Every dog deserves personalized attention, and I’m here to give it with love and patience. I have a part-time job with gaps in my day, giving me plenty of time to care for dogs, play with them, or whatever they need. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their regular routines for meals, walks, and rest to help them settle in easily. I also have a large fenced backyard that offers plenty of space for play and exercise. For visits to a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep pets secure and happy. No matter where, I provide personalized attention and lots of affection.

“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!”

“I was concerned about leaving our pup as we stick pretty close to home. Jamie was great with Wally and sent photos several times a day. He had plenty of outdoor and snuggle time with the kids. When he had tummy trouble, I was notified. I felt at ease with the care he received and wouldn't hesitate to utilize Jamie in the future.”

“First time leaving our dog in 12 years and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Made our week long trip worry free. They sent lots of pics of all the snuggles he got. Will definitely go back again!”
“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 :)”


About: We love all animals and treat them as family. There is care for the animal in the home 24/7. Patient with all types of animals. Work flexibility. I am working full time but my partner works from home. Pets will have company 24/7 with bathroom breaks as needed. If the owner and dog are comfortable with it car rides for fun and to the dog park are always an option. We are able to take an animal in at any time. We will both be home on weekends. Plenty of play time. I have a fenced yard. I have cats in the home but gates to keep them easily separated. I have water fountains for easy access to water. I have experience with giving medication and taking care of animals with bathroom issues.
“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.”


“Betty seemed to enjoy her time with Kathi! Kathi was very flexible when I needed to modify her drop-off time. I felt very comfortable leaving her there and trusted that Kathi would care for her well.”

“Infinity is amazing!!! She took great care of my pup and was very attentive. She was also communicative and sent me updates everyday which I really appreciated. Pup got lots of love and came back home tired. We will definitely be using again!”

“Jenni P and her whole family are Wonderful!!! Her and her family took great care of my Penelope! She updated me multiple times a day on how she was doing, sent a bunch of pictures and video. I was completely at ease having her take care of my baby. I will recommend her to anybody I hear needing to book their pet!!! Can't thank them enough. You can really tell how much they care and what a great Job they do!!! Book Them Seriously!!!”

About: My wife and I have both grown-up with dogs in our homes our whole lives and have passed our love of dogs onto our early elementary aged son as well. We have a 4-year old, cream colored labradoodle named Curious George Banks, aka George. We also have a 1-year old, red & white mini bernedoodle named Hank. I am home full-time and your dog will get lots of playtime, love, care, and attention. Your dog will be able to be inside our home or go outside into our fenced in backyard as much as he/she wants. Our own dogs just ring the bells on the backdoor anytime they want to go out, so it is pretty much a revolving door. :o) We have experience providing dogs with oral medication if needed and will follow any instructions you provide us for the care of your fur-baby. We are excited to meet your dog, make them feel like family, and give them a fun, loving place to stay, in a safe and quiet neighborhood and home while you are gone. Drop off/pick up times are 7:00 a.m.-9:00 pm. If you need to drop off earlier than 7:00 a.m. please plan to bring your dog the night before. Pet care is a regular part of our daily routine already since we have our own dogs. I am home during the day and my wife is an elementary teacher. We can provide multiple feeding times a day, walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, lots of play and companionship. We would be able to have dogs in our home for overnights, which can fall on any day, Monday thru Sunday. We are not able to go to your home or do overnights in your home though. We live in a ranch style home, in a quiet neighborhood. We have a backyard that is completely secured by a 6 foot tall fence. There are three steps up to our front porch and there is one step going into the backyard. We spend most of our time on our main floor, so if stairs are an issue for your dog they can mostly be avoided except for the step in and out to the backyard. Our neighborhood is a safe and friendly place for my wife to take your dog on walks. Our son, who is in early elementary school, loves dogs and would enjoy playing with your dog(s), giving them belly rubs, along with lots of love and affection. We also have two dogs, a labradoodle and a mini bernedoodle who are a friend to all dogs and are use to socializing with dogs of all ages and sizes from a tiny 5 lb chihuahua mix to a 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dog. In our home, pets are treated like family. They're welcome on the couch and bed, and anywhere they feel most comfortable. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, and personalized care every step of the way. We want to meet your dog where they are at and provided them with a place where they feel safe and loved. We are gentle with animals and will follow precisely whatever instructions you give us for care.
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and comfort level. We always had a dog while o was growing up and as an adult I have always owned a dog (or two). I feel a house it’s a home without a dog! I currently own a Goldendoodle. I have experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, administration of medication, playtime, and of course snuggles. I work until 5:30 p.m. most days of the week but, I am available evenings, and weekends to care for your pet whatever the need may be. In my full-time career as a registered nurse, attention to detail, reliability, and compassion are part of who I am. I naturally pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or other signs that something may not be right, and I communicate promptly with pet owners. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping their normal routine while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own and understand how important peace of mind is when you’re trusting someone with a member of your family.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs from a new puppy all the way to senior pets. Your pup will get plenty of play time and be loved as if it is our own. I currently work full time, but nearby. I am home for lunch each day to allow your pup out for bathroom breaks, play, or possibly a short walk. Fridays and the weekend we are home the majority of the time. I can provide both long and short walks as long as cuddles and play time. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly pup of my own. Our pup is neutered so we can accept any dog. We do have young children so prefer that your pup is familiar with kids. If food aggressive, please let us know so we can accommodate that appropriately. We prefer to crate during the time we are out of the house, but if your dog is not accustomed to that, we can make other arrangements.
“We were not disappointed. Bethany and her family gave our husky great care while we were away. We got frequent updates and pictures. It gave us a lot of comfort knowing our dog was in good hands while we were traveling. My 4 year old loved seeing the pictures of what Koda was doing that day. Would book again!!!”

“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.”

“Scott and Ashtyn were easy to communicate with and quick to respond to messages. Their spacious property was great for my dog to run and go for walks off leash, which she loves. Their home is well-equipped and designed with dogs in mind. It was a great experience.”

“Michelle and her kids were great with Axel. She was very patient with him being nervous around her toddler. I would definitely book with her again, my dog had a great time, especially cause he hates being alone! Michelle, her kids and the other dogs she sits were great company to him.”

“I needed a sitter for my doggie last minute when we were visiting Cali. Checked Rover at 5am for same day care and to my surprise a few minutes after making the booking request Acacia answered enthusiastically YES! I got updates throughout her stay and I got back a very happy and well taken care of doggie the next day. Acacia’s place was quaint, comfy, very clean and cozy. Just perfect for a small doggie such as ours that likes to snuggle with her human. Highly recommend Acacia.”

“Our dog was very happy when we picked him up from Thomas! I appreciated that he was willing to do a meet and greet and he shared exercises that he does with dogs to help any nervousness. Our dog is very content and was well cared for today.”
