Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ralston
“Our dog was recently struck blind, and it was nerve-wracking leaving her with someone else. Robert took excellent care of her, and sent us plenty of updates to keep our minds at ease.”
“The most reliable, dependable, kind and generous sitters I could ask for. They are AMAZING people. We are going again for over a week, and I will not worry about our fur babies one bit!”
“Angela was wonderful, I highly recommend her for your pups stay. She was very attentive to my senior pups needs and quirks. Sparrow is high energy and has obsessive compulsive tendencies, Angela went out of her way to adapt to her needs. I will definitely be booking with Angela again!”
“Bethany took such great care of my pup, Lucy. Lucy lost her eyesight fairly recently and Bethany made sure Lucy was safe and loved during her stay. We will be using Bethany again!”
“I had previously only had amazing experience, in light of recent experiences they will be the only sitters I trust to care for my pup. They went above and beyond for me on limited notice due to a family medical emergency. They provided myself and my family with such relief during a traumatic experience and I can never fully thank them.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Ian. He was available and accommodating for my two Frenchies. They had an extended stay with Ian and his fur babies and were returned to me happy and well kept! Ian kept us updated with information and photos as needed and was prompt to respond whenever we had questions! 100% recommend.”
“Teddy loves going to Dazhi’s! I always have total peace of mind knowing he’s so well cared for and showered with love. He comes home happy every time — which says it all. 🐾”
“Allyson and her family are nice and friendly. She shared pics and videos even for the few hours Cocoa was there. Cocoa loves human company and he got lots of that with her. Cocoa came home with a gift toy and treat that he absolutely loved. Thanks a lot!”
“Dulce was amazing! My pup can be a little anxious at first but she took the time to make sure he was comfortable and well loved! He really opened up at the end and when I picked him up, I could see how much he loved the whole family 🫶🏻”
“My dogs loved it at Elizabeth's! Every photo she sent they were either happily playing or totally relaxed(and the puppy can be a crazy demon at times). The older one has a bit of anxiety at times but she was at ease with Elizabeth. She was also responsive and accommodating. I would board with her again for sure!”
“Aubrey did a great job of making a nervous dog mom feel comfortable! After our meeting and greet, my dogs were excited to go back and see her and it’s seems like they really enjoyed staying with Aubrey. Thanks Aubrey!!”
“Justine & Justin did a wonderful job with shandy may! They sent plenty of photos to ease my mind while I was away! Shandy had a blast in the fenced in yard and with their dog Max!,”
“Emily took great care of our senior dog. She kept us updated throughout our trip and was flexible when we dealt with an unexpected delay. We will definitely use her services in the future and would recommend her to any pet owner. Thank you, Emily!”
“I was so nervous about leaving Poppy with someone new. When we had our meet and greet, I knew Melissa was the one. Poppy didn't bark or cower. She walked around and sniffed everywhere, making herself at home. When I dropped Poppy off, she went right to Melissa, not a care in the world. I got updates from Melissa and pictures. I am beyond pleased.”
“Anne Marie was amazing with our dog Ellie. She would send pictures and videos daily which made us feel at ease with leaving her with a sitter. Our dog got along so well with their dog Rooney, I know she will miss playing with him We will definitely be using her and her family again.”
“Anja did an awesome job taking care of our two “kids”. Looks like our dogs had a lot of fun staying there too! Anja is very responsible and loving to our dogs whenever they stay.”

“Danielle helped me out last minute when she was dealing with a move at the same time. My cat Penelope was very well loved during the visits while I was away for a couple days”
“Allison is fantastic! Thoughtful, attentive, and does what's best for you and your pets. She put up with a lot of unforseen issues from my end and helped with things I forgot to do before leaving. Wonderful sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up having lots of pets, and know the joy they bring to your home. Over the years my friends and family have trusted me to care for their cats and their homes while they are away. A unique skill I have is giving cats insulin injections! I would love to help you care for your pets or home in any way you need!
“Morgan took great care of my Jefferson over the Thanksgiving holiday, going well above and beyond to take care of him and to make sure he was having a good time with me multiple states away. Morgan was very communicative throughout the entire process – before and during the booking – and sent great pics, which made me feel really comfortable my old boy was in great hands. Seeing how happy he was when I got home only affirms that. Absolutely would recommend Morgan to anyone!”
“Raina was absolutely wonderful! Super responsive, sweet, and reliable!! I could tell from her photos that Teddy was very grateful to have her there and really enjoyed her company!!! He was well taken care of. Raina also brought in packages that came while I was gone which was very helpful for me! Highly recommend her!”
“Hailey went above and beyond with caring for my two cats (10 yrs & 8 mo). She was consistent, professional, communicative, and went above and beyond in every sense. I would not hesitate to hire her again!”
About: I love cats. As an autistic person, I find that I get along better with animals than people. I’ve had 1-3 cats my whole life since I was 10 years old. When I am at a party, you’ll find me hanging out with the animals. Aside from my own cats, I check on neighbor’s cats, and spend time at the Felius Cat Cafe.
“Ben did a great job with my cat Ninja. Ninja can be a bit difficult at times but, from the pics, it looks like they got along fine. I will definitely ask Ben to cat/house-sit in the future. Thanks Ben!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ralston
“Beautiful house, Lauri is a very friendly sitter and replies msg quickly when we had to made last minute change for our trip. My dog played with Denali and Reese really well, she had a great day at the house and the huge backyard to run around. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting a variety of animals since I was a young teen (cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, hamsters, rabbits, and lizards). I have experience administering medication to senior/ in need animals. In addition, I have trained my cats and dogs to be service animals. I’m currently in my senior year of graduate school for psychology. I am a full time student but have a flexible schedule. I am available on weekends (anytime), weekdays (after 4pm), and anytime on Tuesdays. While caring for pets, I treat them as if they are my own. I ensure that the environment they will be in is safe, enriching, and comfortable. While walking pets, I ensure that I have my full attention on them always (monitoring poops, urine activity/content, breathing patterns, energy level).
“Blitzen had a great time playing at Roger's house for the day. I appreciate how Roger checks in with photos throughout the day and his flexibility with drop off and pick up times. Another great stay!”
“Ashlee and her family were great! They were able to take our pup on short notice for a couple days of doggie day care. Ashlee was always quick to respond, sent multiple updates throughout the day, and very accommodating to our crazy schedule. I would definitely recommend and use her again!”
About: *Please note I'm only offering services Bellevue* Hello! We are a Veteran Air Force family who loves animals. I have cared for many senior dogs and puppy mill rescues. I can provide a quiet and patient environment for them. Our home is pet and child free. I'm always available for potty breaks, daily walks, on time feeding schedule & lots of spoiling by treating your dogs like my own. Since the passing of our last pet, we are currently a pet-free home. This gives me all the time to care for your beloved furry family members. I'm comfortable kenneling dogs per your instructions. I am happy to walk your dog as needed also. I only take dogs out on leashes or a tie down if there isn't a fenced yard.
“This was our first time using Rover with the new pup, and we are so glad we found Michelle for it! She sent pictures throughout the whole afternoon and night, and was super flexible in accomodating our weird work hours. Stevie came back to us totally worn out - she obviously had a great time! We'll definitely be going back to Michelle in the future!”
“Ainsley was amazing with our mini golden doodle, Rosie! She was available for our last minute doggie day care request. We spent the day at the zoo and needed somewhere for our dog to hang out. Ainsley is just a few minutes away, so it worked out perfectly. I highly recommend Ainsley and will definitely use her again next time we’re passing through Omaha!”

I even have an added puppy fence layer to ensure even the smallest pups are safe and secure. My neighborhood is excellent for dog walking as well. Chase my 10 lb pom is excellent company and a fun playmate.
“We love Emily and Jim! They treat my dog as one of their own and my dog loves going to spend the day with them and their family. I leave my dog with them knowing she is safe, in good hands, having fun, and getting plenty of attention. They are also great at giving updates and taking pics. Emily and Jim are both exceptional and trustworthy. We would recommend them to anyone!!”
“Olivia and her son were so great and accommodating to a last minute request. We were in town for a wedding and needed someone to watch our dog for about 4 hours and they were easy to coordinate with. Highly recommend!!”

About: Animals happiness is a fundamental principle that I feel strongly about. This made growing up with and caring for all animals my favorite part of each day! I would love to give your pet you call family a break from their long days of sleeping in. My experience includes living with and pet sitting for dogs of all ages and sizes. Before becoming a pet sitter, I had only owned a cat, but have experienced the joys of all cats personality’s. I’m currently a sophomore in college and have a professional level of experience scheduling around my classes and previously a demanding sport. A part time, high activity, and flexible routine is my cup of tea! My most convenient times are early afternoons and whenever works best for you. I have well rounded experience in feeding pets, cleaning their toilet activities, and taking them on walks and runs. I currently call a black cat, jack Russell terroir, Weimaraner, and chickens my family!
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!
“Working with Alex has been so great! Alex is reliable, communicative and wonderful with our pup, Cash. Alex took extra time and patience to help Cash get over his nerves & we are so appreciate of that!”
About: I have always had a strong love for animals and experience caring for pets. I am an Animal Science student at UNL with a focus on companion animals. I grew up with a Yorkie Schnauzer mix. I played with her, took her on walks, and was instrumental in her care as she aged and experienced health problems. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and am a volunteer at the Nebraska Humane Society. I am responsible, dependable, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I go back to Lincoln August 19th for school and would be happy to care for your pets up until then! As a college student, my schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, especially during the week and on weekends. I am able to work with different schedules and am happy to coordinate with you to find times that work best. I am available weekdays in the mornings and afternoons until 3pm, and on weekends anytime after 5! I will provide care for pets in their own home or neighborhood, depending on the service needed. I am happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, and companionship while making sure each pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I will follow instructions carefully and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible.
About: I've grown up around cats and dogs and have been helping to take care of them for almost as long as I can remember. I've worked at a dog daycare during breaks from school for four years, and I have plenty of neighbors and family members who can vouch for my experience caring for dogs and wrangling cats that get outside. I'm a recent college graduate looking for work; pet care will be a great side hustle while I'm working on getting into the field I got my degree in, and I'm very willing to be flexible with my schedule. My current living situation doesn't allow for me to bring the pets I'm watching home with me. However, I am more than capable of caring for pets in their own home.
“Brady was wonderful and took so many cute pictures of our sweet boy. Clearly she's some sort of dog whisperer because he apparently behaved perfectly for her which I truly appreciate. Very professional, kind, and wonderful. 10/10 tail wags, will be requesting her services again!”
About: I have experience in training and animals handling. I have been called an animal whisperer. I am open to all pets even aggressive ones. I have experience in exotic pets as well. I am in college and I take care of animals in between my classes. This will not take away from my time spent with your animals and I will be fully focused on your pet while I am there. I have a large amount of experience with animal behavior. I can confidently and comfortably care for all types of animals regardless of temperament or aggression level. Your pet will always be safe with me.
About: My husband and I have a three year old golden retriever and she is our baby. Our girl is showered with love and we’ll make sure your pup is too! We love dogs and can’t wait to welcome yours into our home. We also have an infant in the home so if your pup doesn’t do well around babies we will not be the best fit for you. I have a very flexible schedule! I’m home with our baby, so I’ll be very accommodating to the needs of your pet. My husband works out of the home, but he will also be around and available most weekends to be home if I’m unable to be. I want to be sure you and your pet are comfortable! Whatever your baby needs is what they’ll get: pets, cuddles, walks, play time. I’m flexible to be able to meet your needs :) between myself, my husband, and our dog, yours will be well cared for and entertained!
About: I’ve taken care of my pets and family and friends pets for the last 10 years. Everything from walking to feeding and bathing them. I have also been trusted to dog sit at their house for 5+ days before. I have had dogs and cats my entire life and couldn’t imagine my life without them. I have also had to deal with finding a trusting caregiver while gone and I will be that trusting and loving caregiver for you! I currently have an extremely open schedule. On days I do work I would be unavailable for no more than 5-6 hours during the day. When taking care of the pets in other homes I always make sure they are not left alone for extended periods of time and make time in my day to go hang out with them. I will keep them active and play with them but also give them plenty of loves!
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable, punctual, and committed to providing consistent care that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, whether we’re on a walk, playing, or relaxing at home. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve pet sat for family and friends the last three years and have recently joined the pet care community! I’ve watched cats and dogs, ages ranging from babies to seniors, and care including feeding, walking, giving medications, and more. If you have special accommodations please don’t hesitate! I work in education so my summers are practically free, which means I can do mid-day check ins, walks, and more! I just ask for roughly 2-3 days notice:) I live in an apartment with two cats, and both are friendly towards cats and dogs! I have a gated patio so kitties can lounge in the sun, and pups have easy access to a grassy lawn. If you have any concerns, just ask:) I also provide at-home care if you’d like your babes to stay at home!
About: I have cared for dogs of various breeds for more than a decade. Our family has always included our little four legged friends as well! Neighbors, friends, family and co-workers have trusted me to walk, feed and love their fur babies just like my own. ❤️ My small, female, Jack Russell mix (Lucy) will make a great companion for your pet during our time together! For house sitting, I need to bring Lucy with me, so please only send requests if you are okay with that. Lucy is spayed, potty trained and very well behaved. ***ALLERGIC TO CATS*** During the week, I work outside of the home, but make time to care for your pet in the morning, over lunch and during the evening. My goal is to ensure your pet is happy, healthy and spoiled with love when they are with me! Tips for my services are always welcome! I can easily meet your expectations as long as you communicate your preferences. You can expect your pet to be leashed at all times while outside the home.

“Savannah is incredible! Our dog, Skye, stayed with her for 14 days, which was her first time staying with someone outside of our immediate family. Skye can be a bit anxious and gets very skittish around fireworks. Savannah took amazing care of her by providing care and support during the 4th of July fireworks celebrations, which meant so much to us and showed how much she truly cares. She gave Skye a structured routine and provided daily walks that Skye absolutely loved. Savannah also let us bring Skye's kennel, playpen, and large mat to her home so she could have a true "home away from home" setup. Her communication was wonderful—she sent us reassuring updates and pictures almost daily. When my daughters picked up Skye, you could see that she was a happy dog and was well taken care of by Savannah. We would absolutely choose Savannah to babysit Skye again in the future!”
