Personalized care for your dog or cat - Raymond
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Raymond
“This is our 2nd time using Rover for our boy Kenzo and the first experience wasn’t the best experience so we were hesitant a bit but decided to give it another chance. We’re so glad that we did and went with Jamie and her family! They sent us pics throughout the day, which we greatly appreciated - it made us feel relieved and knew then he was in good hands from the photos with their kids and how happy he was. We will definitely rebook with them in the future without feeling anxious when we’re away from Kenzo!”
“They were so amazing and we felt great about our dog bud while we were getting married on vacation. We got a picture(s) or video every day and an update. They were super good at communication and I think bud was able to learn social skills while there! He came back exhausted and slept the whole day. Def would book again when we take a vacation sometime. Def worth the 30 min drive from our house!”
“We think Jersey thoroughly enjoyed her stay with Shawn, Melissa and daughters. I'm sure she enjoyed all the added attention. We received pictures of Jersey almost daily. We will definitely use Shawn and Melissa again if the need arises.”
“I highly recommend David and Shelly! Kobe my Aussie had a great time with them! They have a big fenced backyard Kobe ran around in. He provided great communication and updates. Very caring. Felt 110% comfortable the whole time! Will use them again!”
“Stacy took wonderful care of our little Havanese, Mika! It was apparent that she loved Mika and took care of her as should would her own dog, Pearl. We felt very comfortable at the meet-and-great. Stacy’s home is set up for the comfort and safety of each dog she cares for. There are gates in the doorways, lots of toys to play with, and a big fenced in area outside to potty and play. We loved getting pictures twice a day along with cute comments about how she was doing. We will never board our Mika with anyone else—Stacy is the absolute best! We can’t say enough good things about her care and love for dogs!”
“Aspen was great! This was our first time taking our dog there and we will definitely be going back. We received lots of pictures throughout the weekend and she even took him to the dog park to burn some energy. Overall this was a great experience.”
“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.”
“Sidney & Shelby are amazing!! They loved on our dog and treated her like royalty! River loved being there and felt like she was at home! We cannot recommend them enough!! Thank you ladies!! You two are incredible!!!!❤️❤️🐶”
“First rate care!! Ashley and Kyle watched our mini poodle while we were gone for eleven days. They sent pics and videos, went for walks, played and gave him lots of love and attention. We would gladly have them watch our pup again, and highly recommend them for anyone looking for quality care for your pup while you are away.”
“I’m always nervous about leaving my dog but I quickly felt comfortable and Danae sent photos every day of my little guy enjoying himself. It went well and I’m a return customer, which speaks volumes.”
“Amy was great with our 14 week old Basset Hound pups. She sent us pictures of the girls everyday of them having a gray time. We highly recommend Amy if your looking for someone to watch your pet for the day or an entire week. We’ll definitely use her again in the future Kevin Peters”
About: I’ve dealt with almost any kind of cat or dog from sick kittens that needed fostering, to old dogs in need of medication. I love all pets! I am available any day or time of the week! I am a full time college student but I am only required on campus for tests, so you need something I’m there! Any special needs I am okay taking care of! Playtime and stimulation is important to me and for any pets’ wellbeing. I welcome all ages and sizes of pets.
“Greta was so great! Our Harley is like a daughter/sister to us, so it was important we find someone to watch her who would care for her as much as we do ourselves. She communicated, sent pictures, and was so accommodating to our unplanned schedule change. WE will definitely book with her again!”
“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.”

“I rarely give 5 star reviews, but Lora was so amazing! She said our dogs were the first ones she did visits with, but our dogs seemed happy in every picture she sent us. She visited as discussed, took time to give them scritches and love on them. I was really impressed and so long as we live in Lincoln we will be reaching out to Lora for our fur babies.”
About: I grew up on a goat farm filled with obviously goats, as well as farm cats, border collies, and livestock. I raised bucket calves and my own puppy Rookie as a young kid. I am an avid exerciser and constantly walk/run. This means I'm active and love the company of four paws alongside me. I am a very flexible person as well as an early-riser and night owl. Therefore, I'm perfect for early morning or late night appointments. Very active person who loves walks and routines (just like your pet). I will not house any animals as my house is for my pets. However, I'm glad to come to your home and care for your pet!
“Maria was absolutely AMAZING!!! She checked in & kept me updated thoroughly on how my cats were doing. Sat with them & kept them company, even my shy cat came out to sit with her and hangout even though she is scared of new people!!!”
About: I’ve dog sat for about 8ish years for family and friends. I also have two dogs of my own, a Mini Golden doodle and a Westie. My family also fosters dogs occasionally so I have lots of experience with different dogs and personalities. I work full time from 8:00am-4:30pm but I’m always open to provide care early anytime between 6:00am and before 7:30am. And can provide care anytime after 4:30pm. And am free anytime on the weekends. At home we have a fenced in backyard for our fur babies and let them outside to potty and play multiple times a day. When I dog sit I usually just provide services at the clients home and don’t bring the pets to my own house. But will of course provide the same care and let the pets out multiple times a day to play and potty, and will provide walks for the pets for any client that requests.
“This was our second booking with Kristin and it went great again! This trip she checked in on our senior cat and everything went well, she sent pictures to us every time she was at the house. We will definitely continue to book with Kristin as long as she's available.”
“Mikaela had stepped in and helped me with letting my two dogs out when I lost my regular person. We had a meet and greet at the dog park before the service began and another one at the house. She is very responsible and reliable, plus the pups love her.”
“I had not met Nicole before she watched my cats. She did a great job caring for them and she was good about keeping me updated after each visit. I would definitely have her watch them again and recommend her to anyone needing their animals taken care of while away.”
“Hannah was so great with Joe- it was clear he loved her the way he would cuddle and lay by her!! She followed all my detailed instructions and sent great notes and pics that helped me since I was missing him A LOT! We will definitely use Hannah again.”
About: I have had dogs for 15 years and cats for 9 years. I have been training puppies for 2 years. I have also worked with horses for 5 years. I have a pretty open schedule for the summer and I'm willing to work a little later in the evening. I would be wanting to start around 9-10am M-Sun I care for pets in their own home to keep their routine consistent and stress‑free. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly, maintain a clean environment, provide plenty of supervised playtime, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I prioritize safety, respect your space, and ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away.
About: My family primarily owned cats as I grew up. I have always enjoyed the being of cats - their wise nature, their quirkiness, their affection... As an adult, I have owned 5 cats over 25 years - I have a younger boy now, but my prior 4 were all well into their senior lives before they passed (over 20 years old for 2 of them). I am happy to work with all ages of cats, with all temperaments. I think cats are often misunderstood and simply need a little patience and respect. I am happy to provide medications if needed, and can certainly clean a litter box if desired. I'm happy to throw a ball or wave a feather wand to keep your kitty engaged and happy. It's all in a day's care!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Raymond
“Jamie was very inviting. She met me at the door and greeted me. Her house was set up so well for dogs. Tinkerbell enjoyed having time outside with their dogs. I highly recommend Jamie and will definitely consider for future bookings”
“Tuffy looks happy and well cared for, which really stood out to me. David seems very comfortable and confident handling dogs. It’s clear he actually spends quality time with the dogs rather than just keeping them around, and that makes a big difference. We are grateful.”
“Smudge is shy when meeting people at first. I wasnt sure if he would leave the house for a walk with Nathan but No problem! Thanks for the pics Nathan. See you soon. Vicki”

“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: 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.
“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!”
“Simply a wonderfull amazing women. She truly loved my dog as she would her own. If it wasnt cause shes already been pre booked. I would have kept her as my primary sitter moving forward. But even disregarding that she will always be someone I'll keep an eye out for. She is reliable people to care for a pet”
“We really appreciated that Jadyn was able to take care of our Roxie last minute. We love that he is really fast in responding back and adaptive to our schedule (which is super helpful). On top of that he is really polite and respectful and Roxie loved him since the moment she saw him :)))”
About: When I was growing up babysit for my brothers bestfriend. I would have to walk the dogs and it got her energy out as well. :) I have 5 cats and I have to change their litter daily, feed them twice a day , give them love and attention. I will go to my grandmas and walk her dog for her. I treat them as I they are mine. I love animals no matter how big or small. And I follow the instructions from the orders of the times they want to feed them.
“Andrea and Ed and their 3 fur babies welcomed Moose into their home and took such good care of him! Thank you so much, hope Moose can visit again soon!”
“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.”
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.
About: I have had my fair share of pet sitting including my neighbors 4 cats, 2 dogs, hedgehog, lizard, 2 birds , and much more! There isn’t much I can’t handle. I currently have nothing going on during the days until September when I start my doctorate program. So I will be home all day for your pets! I’ve had pets my entire life and know the struggle on leaving your baby with a stranger! I want to provide comfort to both you and your animal while you’re away and do everything I can to make your trips easier. I have had animals my whole life, including a very picky dog who I love dearly. So I’m not a stranger to weird requests to comfort your dog
About: Have experience with both cats and dogs through owning and helping through the years. I currently have five cats and three dogs of my own so I am very familiar with feeding schedules, cleanings, playtimes, monitoring behaviors, and making sure everyone feels safe in their own environment. I’m comfortable caring for different pets of different sizes and energy levels, including walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and giving them attention and companionship while their owners are away.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Raymond
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and learned to take care of them when I was young. I have a special place in my heart for big dogs, but I love all animals. I am currently in between jobs and have free time on my hands. I live in an apartment so boarding is not really an option but I have plenary of time to walk, play, and hang out with a furry friend. I have sat for many neighbors and friends who all have different preferences and have trained dogs differently. I ensure the safety of the pet above all things and can follow directions well.

“Mikaela is very personable and friendly! I trust her entirely with my pup; you can tell she really cares about dogs of all kinds. Also, she is reliable and coordinates if she has a change in schedule. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Taking care of animals has been a responsibility of mine since I was little. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, horses, and other smaller animals throughout my life. I am currently wrapping up my final semester at the University of Nebraska. I am home/available most of the time since my classes are online. Happy to communicate and work around your schedule! I live in an apartment with lots of grass, a dog park, and a safe surrounding neighborhood to roam. I am willing to care for your fur-baby in any way needed!
About: I grew up in a home for rescues and have loved every pet. I adore caring for animals. I'm 19, but have trained almost every dog (out of 7) that I've had. I am extremely flexible, if I have about a day or two notice, I can do just about anything your fur baby needs me for. I would not offer services in my home due to a shy pet of my own. I will, however, groom, take on walks, take to their appointments, let outside, or generally care for your pet from your home.
“Kristin was AMAZING! Honestly it was our first time using Rover and it was literally so calming and easy with her. She went above and beyond and really took care of the details that Sly needed! She’s kind and funny, and you can really trust her. We WILL be using her again, and are so thankful for her!”
“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've cared for and loved family pets (beagle, staffy, and pit) all my life, but as a young adult living in an apartment away from home, I'm looking to befriend some local canine pals! Play, walking, cuddles, and parks: I want to leave pets happy and ready for their nap!! I'm currently working a part-time research position, with free time to care for your pets! I am unable to board animals, but my flexibility allows for check-ins throughout the day! My time with your pet will be for active engagement and physical monitoring, responsive to their needs. I'm happy to have short meetings to ensure fit and want to collaborate to optimize your pet's care.

About: I have a Siberian Husky and we love to travel and go on adventures! I love going on walks and wouldn’t mind having another furry friend to join us! I live in a house with 2 female dogs (my husky and my roommates pitbull) along with one kiddo who also loves animals as well! Prefer to meet and greet in advance if you book your animal to stay at my house. I work full time at a bank most days. I wake up in the mornings to let my dogs out and feed them and then they free roam the house during the day. When I get home at night I feed them again and take them out for walks or to the lake or dog park to run free and have fun with other dogs! I have a small yard that is not fenced in where my dogs get placed on a leash to do their business. They get let out multiple times a day between my roommate and myself. I also have a kennel for if your pet needs it during the day when nobody’s home.
About: I have had dogs all of my life and I have a 3 year old dog I adopted as a puppy and I have trained her to be well behaved at home and on walks, unless she sees a squirrel and gets excited. I have experience walking multiple difficult dogs at once and maintaining control. I’m currently working part time and am available for walking/visits between 10:30am and 4:30pm Monday-Thursday beginning on May 12th. I love taking my personal dog on walks around the city of Lincoln and would love to take yours too! I care for my pet by knowing her body language and keeping her separate from other dogs when I know she is stressed. I have always been around dogs and am able to read new animals very quickly to know what they need from me.
About: I’ve had pets around for as long as I can remember. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I even have training experience with puppies. I have also taken care of special needs dogs before, including an epileptic dog, so I have lots of experience with animals that have special needs . I also worked at a wildlife rehab this past summer so I have experience with proper administration of eye meds, oral meds, and SQ injections in mammals. My family fosters dogs so I am familiar with all sorts of dogs. I’m currently a college student home for break. I’m majoring in fisheries and wildlife at UNL and plan to work in an animal related field in the future. I will have lots of time to care for all of your pets. I do have my own kitty at home, so I just need to make sure I have enough time to take care of him twice daily. I will mostly be focusing on your pets and what they need as this is my main summer job for now. I have house sat for clients and family/friends for years. I will be sure to do whatever it takes to fulfill your pet’s needs while you are away, keeping them happy, healthy, and safe.

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 been a pet owner for over 15 years and have hands on experience with a few different breeds including a Yorkie, Husky, and Pit Bull. Our latest addition was our cat whom we’ve had for the past 4 years. This has given me experience with both small and large dogs, and a cat. All different energy levels, and unique personalities.

About: I've grown up around all different breeds and temperaments of dogs and have dog sat for both small and large pups! I'm also looking to study animal science or go the pre vet route in college! I'm currently working a part time job only a few hours a few times a week so I will have plenty of time to walk, check in on, or stop by and spend time with your pup! I care for pets making sure they feel safe and comfortable as well as communicating with owners so I know what kinds of things their dogs like to do or things to avoid
About: I own a couple dogs and manage my schedule well while in college and being a dog mom. I value exercise, health and happiness of all pets. I am available on most weekdays in the afternoon. I have a part time job during the weekdays as well and will always update my availability as needed. I have a puppy who is high energy and loves to play. Our daily routine includes 2 meals a day, lots of walks, play time and nap time. My apartment complex has a greenspace where dogs are able to run around freely.
