“Derek was great w/Oso. My little bear 🐻 was very calm before & after I picked him up. Derek kept me updated w/great pics & gave great advice on getting Oso out & about more around people & other dogs. He is still a pup & everything is new still, however I agree with him & appreciate his advice. I will probably book him again 😀.”
“Sarah and family took such great care of my boys. I was nervous about leaving them, but everyone pitched in to make sure they felt well loved and cared for. It was a great experience.”
“We LOVE Jamie and her entire family. Her children, and husband are also so good with Harper and we feel thankful to be able to travel knowing our dog is in good, loving hands. We will not hesitate to book with Jamie again in the future.”
“Shawn, Melissa and their girls were great! It was so obvious when we picked up our dog, Ceasar he was so happy! We will definitely be contacting them again!”
“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!”
“Dave and Shelly are a top notch Rover family. We can tell they have good basic “dog-sense.” They treat each dog like their own. We appreciate their calm, loving, safe home for our dog.”
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.
“Wonderful!!! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone. Everything went wrll and Kathi has a lot of experience with both big and small dogs. Highly recommend her. Although my dog was so excited to see me, I could tell he bonded with Kathi over the extended weekend.”
“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!!!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Michelle took excellent care of my Yoshi Beara, and welcomed him into her home and family! Yoshi came home happy and exhausted from playing with his new friends. Michelle sent fotos often so I could see that Yoshi was well-cared for, and happy! It is so reassuring to know that my little lamb is well cared-for while I am not at home. I have tried other large animal care centers in Lincoln, and was extremely disappointed in them for a variety of reasons. From now on, I am only booking Yoshi's care with Michelle! I have already booked another stay for Yoshi Beara with Michelle! Michelle is amazing, and I highly recommend her to other "pet parents". Thank you, Michelle!!”
About: Hello friends! I am currently working part-time delivering babies at Bryan East, and looking for some extra part-time income doing something I love-hanging out with your fur babies. I personally had many dogs growing up, and my sweet Rikki girl passed away last year. So, I’m looking to help some other folks take care of their pups. I am an outdoor enthusiast- I love to hike, backpack on tough trails, bike, run races, swim, etc. I’m interested in boarding at our home, or pop-in visits. It would be no problem for me to walk your animals or take them to potty outside in any weather condition. My schedule at work is 12-hour shifts, and changes from week to week. So, I'm pretty flexible if you need me. Just contact me and we can definitely work something out. Looking forward to cuddling and loving your animals!
“Ryleigh was great. She's a genuine animal lover. She boarded my kitty for a week and everything went smoothly. She sent photo updates, which was greatly appreciated since I was pretty nervous about sending my cat off to be boarded for the first time. I will definitely reach out and have her board my cat again if the situation arises. Thanks Ryleigh!”
“First time using a dog sitter and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better experience!!! He sent us lots of pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing while we were away.”

I Will be able to work with you on the comfort and needs of your pets based on mutual available resources and your pets training.
About: Hello, my name is Tracy and I'm a total dog person! Although I can't have a furry friend at home due to my living situation, I volunteer as a dog walker at the local capital humane society here in town. I've had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to massive Great Danes! There's nothing better than seeing their tails wag and spoiling them with pets and treats. My dream is to own a large piece of land where I can provide a forever home for senior and handicapped animals. Until then, I'll continue to volunteer and do my part to help these amazing companions! I currently work full time and have a part time job on top of that i also volunteer 1 day a week at the capital humane society as a dog walker! i enjoy taking walks around the park and or neighborhood, after our long walk then we would go to the dog park and meet all our other furry friends!
About: I have had cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I will spoil, play with, and cuddle them until they are content. Always have treats on hand. Know how to seperate cats and make sure that they can be introduced properly.
About: As a lifelong cat owner and experienced sitter, I know that cat care is about so much more than just a full food bowl. I bring over 15 years of dedicated feline experience to every visit, ensuring litter boxes are pristine, water is fresh, and your cat’s routine remains undisturbed. Whether your cat requires high-energy laser pointer sessions or quiet companionship, I adapt my approach to fit their unique mood. I’m a natural animal magnet with a proven track record of keeping kitties happy, healthy, and stress-free while their humans are away.
“Liz was great!! My fur kids just loved her. She even took time to come over before the scheduled date to meet my kids and learn their routine. She was so good with them and sent the best pictures!!”

“Derek did a great job with McGee, for his first time going to doggy daycare. McGee seemed to handle the situation well. Derek had good observations about McGee. Will definitely get Derek again.”
“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.”
“Kara was wonderful. Ace was very well taken care of while our moving truck was being unloaded. I really appreciated her communication especially with the video and pictures. I will definitely be reaching out to her again.”
“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: 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 had a great first experience with David and Shelly. The communication was clear and easy to work with. We would highly recommend this family to watch your pet or pets.”
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.
“Nathan accepted Lincoln for a last minute daycare and was very flexible to our plans! He kept me updated on how Lincoln was doing and also sent some pictures. I can’t wait to schedule again, definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“This is the first time Shawn & Melissa took care of Pippin. He seemed happy when we picked him up. So, I feel good about the day care. We'll be using them for boarding in the near future.”
About: Watching dogs for a living?! Who wouldn’t want that! I loved watching dogs for my family and friends for as long as I can remember, was and am happy to hear about Rover. Walk, wash, play, anything you need. I’m your pal! I’m currently working freelance so hours are all over, which allows me a heck of free time! I am able to work with your schedules and availability. 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!”
“Staci was wonderful! Sent me pics and updates, was very accommodating and flexible with me. Well priced for a fabulous experience. I was nervous since my dog can be a jerk around others, and she has 2 small dogs, but she had a plan for all scenarios. And the dogs for along fine. Definitely would recommend her.”

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.
About: I love animals and am committed to giving them enriching lives. While your pet is in my care, you can expect them to play a variety of brain-engaging games, eat out of puzzle feeders, and receive undivided love and affection! I work a very flexible job that allows me to fit in walks and drop-in visits whenever needed. There are no times that are too early or too late for my schedule! I will follow any procedures and protocols you have put in place for your pet. Your pet's routine is important to me and them! Animals thrive off of routine, so I will follow any directions you give to the letter.

I personally had many dogs growing up, and my sweet Rikki girl passed away last year. So, I’m looking to help some other folks take care of their pups. I am an outdoor enthusiast- I love to hike, backpack on tough trails, bike, run races, swim, etc. I’m interested in boarding at our home, or pop-in visits.

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.
“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.”
About: I have always been the the one people ask to watch their pets as I am more than happy to have some new energy! Let’s both get our step count in. Let’s get those pets in! I currently have time after 3pm! Our family takes daily walks and have no issue adding extra into the mix! Kids/ dogs; all the same🤪 I make sure I get all the correct information needed. Every animal is different and every animal deserves someone to appropriately take care of them!
About: I’ve never NOT had a pet. Growing up I have always had dogs! Now that my parents have moved, I have been missing my pups. I have taken care of neighbors pets for years as well as house and pet sitting for some family members & coworkers over the years. I am currently a college student, I have one class currently from 11-11:50 on mon-thurs, I do take other classes online! I do tend to run around a lot but majority of my time would be with the pets! When caring for pets, safety and trust are paramount. In my home or the client's, I always ensure pets have a safe, comfortable environment, and all their needs are met. I keep all harmful objects out of reach, provide plenty of playtime when i’m home, and stick to their feeding and walking schedules. And of course, lots of love and cuddles are always included! 🐾
About: I worked at an animal shelter and animal hospital for 5 years while in college and I have been pet sitting since the age of 17. As a pet owner myself I know how important it is to know that you have left your fur babies in good hands, you'll never have to worry about your pets while they're in my care. If you are to request my services you will have peace of mind that your pets will be well taken care of while you're away. I currently have open availability until approximately mid October including weekends and holidays. I'm available for overnight house sitting and walks/potty breaks throughout the day. I am available for walks and drop in visits and house sitting. I'll give you updates on how your fur babies are doing during our visit so you can have peace of mind that they are well taken care of while you're away.
About: Most people babysit growing up, I was the local petsitter instead. Now I’m the go-to petsitter for my friends and colleagues, looking to help others! I have experience petsitting both cats and dogs! My main summer job is research, so the hours I’m available are very flexible. I make my own schedule so I can make myself available for most times! 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: 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.
“Wonderful!!! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone. Everything went wrll and Kathi has a lot of experience with both big and small dogs. Highly recommend her. Although my dog was so excited to see me, I could tell he bonded with Kathi over the extended weekend.”
“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!!!”
“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!!!”
“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 took excellent care of my Yoshi Beara, and welcomed him into her home and family! Yoshi came home happy and exhausted from playing with his new friends. Michelle sent fotos often so I could see that Yoshi was well-cared for, and happy! It is so reassuring to know that my little lamb is well cared-for while I am not at home. I have tried other large animal care centers in Lincoln, and was extremely disappointed in them for a variety of reasons. From now on, I am only booking Yoshi's care with Michelle! I have already booked another stay for Yoshi Beara with Michelle! Michelle is amazing, and I highly recommend her to other "pet parents". Thank you, Michelle!!”
About: Hello friends! I am currently working part-time delivering babies at Bryan East, and looking for some extra part-time income doing something I love-hanging out with your fur babies. I personally had many dogs growing up, and my sweet Rikki girl passed away last year. So, I’m looking to help some other folks take care of their pups. I am an outdoor enthusiast- I love to hike, backpack on tough trails, bike, run races, swim, etc. I’m interested in boarding at our home, or pop-in visits. It would be no problem for me to walk your animals or take them to potty outside in any weather condition. My schedule at work is 12-hour shifts, and changes from week to week. So, I'm pretty flexible if you need me. Just contact me and we can definitely work something out. Looking forward to cuddling and loving your animals!
“Ryleigh was great. She's a genuine animal lover. She boarded my kitty for a week and everything went smoothly. She sent photo updates, which was greatly appreciated since I was pretty nervous about sending my cat off to be boarded for the first time. I will definitely reach out and have her board my cat again if the situation arises. Thanks Ryleigh!”
“First time using a dog sitter and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better experience!!! He sent us lots of pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing while we were away.”
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.
