“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.”


“I don’t think you could find a better sitter than Doyle! Macy was well-cared for, and had a great time there! She got to socialize with other dogs her size, went for walks in the parks, and received lots of attention! We recommend him highly!”

“Crystal took great care of Ford. He loved going out to her place - so many pups to play with. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout his time. Will use again :)”

“Torey is great! Our (crazy) Daisy had an amazing time with her. Daisy came back home happy, relaxed, and tired from all the fun. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend!”

“If Teddy could type, he’d be writing this himself. He told me all about how spoiled he was while I was away—daily walks, meals served on-time, and even playdates with their sweet golden retriever (apparently his new best friend). I also loved getting the daily photo updates, though Teddy insists they didn’t capture his best angles. He came home happy, tired, and maybe just a little disappointed to leave. I couldn’t have asked for better care for my pup—Teddy says 5 paws out of 5! 🐾”

“Allyson does such a great job with our senior dog. She is extremely caring and sends thoughtful updates throughout his stay. We will absolutely continue to book with her.”

“Cheryl is amazing! I was traveling from out of town and my dog can be slow to warm up but Cheryl made it very comforting and is great at communicating. She has two dogs who are fun sweeties! I would highly recommend and even return again. She’s is a dog person and makes her own dog treats, very caring pet owner/caretaker!”

“Very happy with Patricia ! She took great care of Zeppy and we appreciated her being able to accommodate our pick up and drop off times . We will definitely request her again for Zeppy !”

“What a wonderful first time experience! Stephanie and her family were wonderful with our 2 pups! It was so nice to have them in a home where they were cared for like we would care for them. It was great receiving pictures and/or videos of our pups while gone. We missed them so much and this always made it better! Thank you so much for everything! We’ll be coming back!”

“Robert did an excellent job. We felt like our dog was well taken care of and loved. He sent a lengthy update and pictures each day. Plus he took our pup on longer walks than we even do! Robert was easy to work with and we’d book him again for sure.”

“This was our first time using Rover, and we selected Bethany as our dog sitter for 5 days. Our dog Kona was very well taken care of, and Bethany sent us pictures of Kona along with daily texts on how she was doing. Thank you Bethany, we'll be back to have you watch Kona.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation (and before), we felt completely at ease knowing our boy was in such great hands. They truly went above and beyond—sending updates, reassuring us, and treating him like part of their own family. He had an absolute blast playing with their dogs and came home so happy and well cared for. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to every pet they watch. We are beyond grateful to have found them and will only be using them anytime we’re away. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Chelsea is a very kind person. She took great care of my puppy. She provided pictures daily. She did her best to make him comfortable. Charlie came back happy and very calm and content.I recommend her without hesitation.”

“Kelsey and her son did a great job taking care of our two labs for a long weekend. They seemed happier than ever when we picked them up and well taken care of. Kelsey provided great updates on our trip too. Appreciate your help Kelsey, the pups will be back!”
“Nicole and her family seemed to do a great job taking care of our dog. She sent updates everyday on what they did and how she was doing. We picked Sunny up tired, happy, and healthy. Thank you Nicole.”

About: I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away.
About: I started my care for dogs when I was 14. I often sit for friends and family when they need me. I am an animal lover who just loves spending time with new animals. I love getting to know all of their sweet personalities. I am currently a student with no more than 2 classes a day so lots a free time to spend with your pets. I would be free to let out your pets multiple times a day and even spend the night if you would like. I am very accommodating when it comes to all types of animals. We can discuss what your animals need in your house and find some type of system.

About: I’ve had cats growing up, but now living in my own apartment I have two. They are my reason for getting up every morning (they meow at me to feed them at 7 am) I would love to meet all different types of kitty’s and care for them.
“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!!”

“Melissa, was incredible! She took care of my cat the way she would her own. I would trust her with Ginsburg again in the future. She sent me daily pictures, told me stories of how my cat was doing and was incredibly easy to work with. She made sure to also gather my mail and water my plant while I was away. Melissa, went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable leaving my beloved cat.”


About: I love cats very much! I rescued my first from NHS right after college. The other two I found outside, severely malnourished and full of fleas and ear mites and they are now full grown and thriving! Proof a little love goes a long way 🩷
“We continue to utilize Crystal's services due to her excellence. Her communication is quick, and her schedule is flexible to adapt to our ad hoc needs as emergencies arise. We appreciate having someone reliable that ensures Champ is in good hands.”

“Wonderful experience for our Vizlsa - I can tell she was well taken care of while we were gone. Looking forward to using Zianna again (and again and again). House was also left in great shape. Thank you again!”

About: In the past couple years been taking care of dogs & cats for friends and coworker when they go out of vacation or a camping trip, they have relied on me to feed, comfort their dogs & cats and make sure they are taken care of in any special way needed, I have been to many puppy classes with my own pup and I have taken care of many dogs & cats of many ages. I recently just moved to the Omaha area, I work typically 8-5 on the weekdays but am available to come before or after work to take care of the animals. I am available weekends for drop in. While not working I enjoy hiking and being outside! Being able to care for a clients pet is so important I would offer to meet the pets before hand and sit with them for a bit understand how they work in there own home so I can get a sense of how they are with a stranger in the house and how I am not a threat. I will be able to sit with them for company and play with them as well whether that is walks or just running in the house.
“Juan was great. Good communication on cats and house. Pictures and videos really cheered us up. Kittens seemed to really like him. Did some extra tasks like water plants, feed the birds...even mowed lawn when got too long. Will definitely use him again. A+++”


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.

“Jackie was great! Very flexible with my changes in hours and sent pictures/updates throughout the day. You can tell she really loves dogs and takes great care of them while you're away 😊”

“Garth and Tracy were amazing! We were in the area for a family reunion and were struggling with what to do with our puppy for a large part of the day. Garth and Tracy were kind enough to accept a next day booking for us and did a wonderful job caring for Gus. He seemed very happy when we picked him up and we were so relieved to be able to leave Gus somewhere where we did not need to worry about him at all. If we ever find ourselves back in the area or have friends/family that need help with their dog nearby, Garth and Tracy will be our first choice.”

“Frankie had so much fun AGAIN! He loves going to Crystals playing with all his friends. She takes such good care of him while he is there we never have to worry about him ❤️❤️”

“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!”

About: Owned dogs all my life with experience from puppy to end of life. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such I often work from home with a lot of flexibility. I am up early and stay up late so can be accommodating to many schedules I do not have a fenced yard, I leash walk animals regularly. Historically with my own dogs I have underground fencing. Safety and attention are my concerns for animals
“Our dog, Bella, comes home happy from Bethany's house. She gets some quality time and play with other dogs and with children. She doesn't get that at home with two old people. Thank you, Bethany!”

“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!!”

“Ariana was awesome! She was accommodating to my early drop off needs and was already familiar with Dixie from reviewing her care notes ahead of time. I got updates and pictures throughout the stay and Dixie was calm and happy when I picked her up. Ill definitely be saving Ariana as one of our favorite sitters!”
“Perfect, Toby was happy when we came to pick up and stress free. Pictures were sent during his stay and he was tired when he got home. We will definitely request again. Thank you so much for allowing us to drop him off so early.”

“I had a great experience with Keeley and Ethen! I sent a last-minute request around 8–9 PM, they responded quickly, and I was able to drop her off the next morning. They were super kind, communicative, and sent pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. This was for my 9-week-old puppy that I had only brought home three days earlier, so everything was still very new. She ended up being more vocal than expected and needed a little extra attention, so I was nervous leaving her. They handled her so well and made the whole process feel easy. Their home is nice, the area is great, and overall everything went smoothly. No complaints at all. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals all my life. Grew up on a farm locally and cared for every animal you can imagine. I’m a recently retired educator with a huge heart. I have a safe and clean home and a fenced in back yard! I presently have 1 dog named Chase who is a 3 year old, well mannered and well trained Pomeranian.Ive had both dogs and cats in past 25 plus years. I will care for your furry family member as if they are my own. Since I am retired I have flexibility with my schedule. I am able to schedule care during the work week to include drop ins, walks and even over night and long term care. I have a large fully fenced back yard. 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.
About: I’m a proud pet mom to both a dog and a cat, so I understand the unique needs and personalities of each. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I also offer weekend availability, perfect for those quick getaways!

I have my dog and my cat already and they would love to make new friends I just moved to a house and it’s just my husband and I with our cat and dog and they are super friendly with other animals and we all love cuddle time
“Joan is an excellent dog sitter and I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. She was great to communicate with leading up to the stay, and kept us informed through texts and pictures of how Mia was doing while she was there. Mia was worn out after her day of fun at Joan's house. We will definitely reach out to her again for our future needs!”

About: I love and respect dogs. I've had a dog my entire adult life - from puppy to senior dogs, small to larger breeds. Keeping your dog happy and healthy is important to me. I aim to keep the routine you have established for your dog while you are away. I'll communicate with you as much or as little as you would like. *My work environment has recently changed. I now work in office but, with flexible hours and availability to work from home when needed. Your dog may be left inside my home for no more than three hours at a time. Your dog will have opportunity during my breaks to be let out to potty as well as to receive whatever play or attention is needed. In the late afternoon someone is always home and the evenings you can expect your dog to receive lots of love and attention whether that's playing fetch, doing a sniff mat, going for a walk, cuddling, or enjoying some fresh air and sunshine, as the weather permits. I am interested in knowing about the dogs in my care and try to gather as much information about their care needs. All restrictions related to their care will be respected and carried out. Socialization, love, and safety are top priorities to help keep your dog happy. My home is in a quiet residential area near a school and parks. Our yard is fenced - 4 feet on most sides. Until your dog is used to being in my home, I will supervise in the backyard to aid in their adjustment and to ensure their safety. Dogs are permitted in most areas of the home, but I like to keep them close by while attending to other things. We have a small and large crate available. Dogs are permitted on furniture but, we can keep them off if that is part of your home rules. Keeping consistent with how you care for your own pet is important to me. I prefer to do a meet and greet with your pet prior to taking on their care if possible. This gives me an opportunity to become familiar with the pet, pet owner, and ask questions about your dog's care and preferences. It also helps your dog become familiar with my home.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them I know how important they are I would do anything for my fur babies! I have over 8 years of experience helping care for dogs and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m responsible, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away! 🐶💕 I currently work at an elementary school as a resource para with special needs children Monday-Friday 8:30am to 12:45pm. I also am a full time college student I am working for my doctorate in Occupational Therapy! Thankfully all of my classes are online so everyday after 12:45 I am available!! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs of my own—a 5-year-old Corgi and a 2-year-old Wirehaired dog. Both are fully trained, very friendly, and active. I’m comfortable caring for dogs in my home as well as in my clients’ homes. When caring for pets in their home, I will follow their normal routine, keep their environment clean and secure, make sure they have fresh food and water, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and treat their home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines provided by the pet owner.

About: Ive owned one or more dogs since I was a kid. Ive participated in a variety of dog training from classes at PetSmart to Nebraska Dog Training. Working from home, there will be limited times pets will be left unsupervised while in my care. I am Working from home full time which makes me available for frequent potty breaks. This also allows for several opportunities for social interaction throughout the day. I have 5 acres of land. Not fenced available, but outside time on a leash can be offered to ensure safety. I have two dogs to provide company. An 8 yr old female and 9 month male puppy.

About: I currently have 3 dogs, 2 are foster fails. One from a rescue I volunteered for and the other through a family member who made a rash decision to buy a puppy. All 3 dogs are different in size, small, medium and large. All are tan and was not planned that way. Age range is 12, 11, and 8. My oldest has to have multiple kinds of eyedrops 3 times a day. He is unfortunately blind, but he is still happy. I have experience with fostering dogs and working with rescue organizations. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom of 3. I have time to play, feed, walk or let out your dog anytime during the day and can stay with them for a little while. I consider my pets as family and treat them with love and great care. I believe a person's energy affects how a dog reacts to them, so I do my best to stay calm around dogs in general. I am not super strict and will give love and kisses and bring excited energy when the situation is safe to do so. I like to train my dogs on their basics skills and tricks because I do believe that makes life easier for everyone. I am not opposed to crate training or using it when necessary.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. When I was young, I had two dogs and two cats that I cared for and loved. When I was in grade school, I trained my dog for 4h and earned many achievements in showmanship and agility courses. Many neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to care for their furry friends. I can attend to all of your pets needs. I am currently working full time, so I won’t have a lot of time during the day to drop in, but I am more than happy to stop in in the mornings and evenings (before 8 and after 4pm), as well as any days off I may have to tend your pets needs! I will happily make the trip to parks and fields for plenty of exercise. Also, I will tend to the pets at there very own places so they feel at home in there usual environments.
About: I've grown up around dogs/cats! I love getting as much time in with animals as possible. Ran a boarding facility (with day care) for 8+ years. I've taken care of many senior dogs (needing medication/specialty food) and have also bred, so I have lots of puppy experience. I also offer training! I work solely out of my home with a flexible schedule, so I can easily work around your pets needs! I'm available 24/7 with reliable transportation. I have very large fenced yard and 2 dogs of my own to keep your baby company. I allow pets anywhere I go (even my furniture). I also have dog crates in home so you don't need to carry yours back and forth!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two golden retrievers, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family, helping with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure their pets feel safe and loved while they’re away. I’m very patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I am currently part-time employed but if you let me know in advance I’m available anytime weekday or weekends! Dog sitting is something I look forward to - not as a chore, so I am fully able to spend long hours if needed! I always prioritize safety and follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure on walks, supervised during play, and always in a safe environment. I often prefer caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them comfortable in a familiar space and helps reduce stress. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments.

My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: I have loved animals since I came out of the womb. I have 2 cats myself and I absolutely love dogs. I have taken care of animals since I was 10. I also have volunteered at the humane society.

I will definitely give your animal lots of love and kisses as well!
About: My family owned a dog when I was in middle school for about a year and a half, but due to busy schedules at the time we had to give him up. My brother had a dog for a little over five years, and I enjoyed helping him take care of her while I was living with my parents, and I went to their house to see her and help take care of her when needed before she passed away! I am different from other sitters because I will spend as much time as I possibly can with your pet! I know that with my brother’s dog, Emma, I wanted to be home with her as much as I can when I was living with my parents so she could be out of her kennel as often as possible. I will also make sure that everything you require of me will be completed in the most appropriate manner possible. I will always make sure that your pet is safe! I will always have an eye on your pet when they go to the bathroom outside, and will talk with you to get as many details as possible to make sure everything goes well while watching your pet! I am a teacher full time, so I would want to make sure that both you and your pet are okay with me being at my full time job during the day when I am house sitting. I am available to do house sitting all seven days of the week.

I also regularly change my calendar so I am usually am available to do drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays that I am out of school! I will make sure that your pet is my priority while under my care! I will take great care of your home, no matter which service you request! I will be very respectful of everything in your home, and I make sure I am around to take care of your pet(s) as often as possible! If you have any requests on what you would like me to do with your pet(s), no matter which service it might fall under, please let me know!
“Opening my home and trusting our pup with someone I didn't know was nerve racking. That was until I met Jeannie! You can tell she truly has a passion for animals and enjoys what she does. Communicates well, punctual, and does her best to work with your scheduling needs. Highly recommend.”

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 love being active with my dogs and participating in weekly activities with them, including agility and obedience training. Dogs need to be physically and mentally stimulated daily for their health and well-being. I am a newly retired teacher of 32 years. I have a completely open schedule and want to fill it with my favorite thing in the world...DOGS! I am a huge walker and love to have furry friends to accompany me. I am very flexible and can make most times work, so please don't hesitate to ask. I also love ALL sizes and breeds of dogs, at my house we have a 13-year-old Morkie named Mollie and a 1-year-old Bouvier named Bert who weighs 95 pounds. My open schedule allows me flexibility for drop-ins to check in on your fur babies. I worked for many years as a teacher and spent so much time worrying about my pets at home; do they need a potty break? Are they lonely? Do they have water? I want you to feel comfortable while your pet/s are at home alone, and am happy to help out however; this can include feeding, walking, or just cuddling. I want to be able to give you peace of mind that your pet is being cared for, so you can focus on your job or commitment.

There are a few games I play with my dog that I know your pet would love too! All in all, I would like to make the experience fun for me and your friend I have experience at doggy day cares and worked with puppies ranging from teacup to Great Danes. I also have experience grooming and bathing dogs and cats. I believe every pet has their own intrinsic personalities and their own quirks and I would love to get to know your baby. If you have any questions feel free to ask! Thank you! I currently work full time in a warehouse. I work four 10 hour shifts so I get three days off during the week and then I work weekends. I have five years of experience in doggy day cares and grooming for cats as well. I have extensive knowledge in enrichment activities for cats and dogs. I believe that the key to a happy pet is mental enrichment and stimulation. I do potty breaks every 2-3 hours depending on age.

“Robert did an excellent job. We felt like our dog was well taken care of and loved. He sent a lengthy update and pictures each day. Plus he took our pup on longer walks than we even do! Robert was easy to work with and we’d book him again for sure.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left for vacation (and before), we felt completely at ease knowing our boy was in such great hands. They truly went above and beyond—sending updates, reassuring us, and treating him like part of their own family. He had an absolute blast playing with their dogs and came home so happy and well cared for. It’s clear how much love and attention they give to every pet they watch. We are beyond grateful to have found them and will only be using them anytime we’re away. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Chelsea is a very kind person. She took great care of my puppy. She provided pictures daily. She did her best to make him comfortable. Charlie came back happy and very calm and content.I recommend her without hesitation.”

“Kelsey and her son did a great job taking care of our two labs for a long weekend. They seemed happier than ever when we picked them up and well taken care of. Kelsey provided great updates on our trip too. Appreciate your help Kelsey, the pups will be back!”
“Nicole and her family seemed to do a great job taking care of our dog. She sent updates everyday on what they did and how she was doing. We picked Sunny up tired, happy, and healthy. Thank you Nicole.”

“I am so grateful Andrea and her family were able to watch my pup while I went out of town! They always take the best care of her. They send plenty of updates and pictures and so I feel great knowing she is being well loved and cared for. You guys are the best! Thank you 😊”


“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!,”

“Brittany was amazing! She took wonderful care of Violet, and updated us and sent pictures the entire time! Violet fit in very well with her human and animal pack, and didn’t seem to know we were gone until we were back picking her up ? we already have our next booking confirmed we had such a good experience!”
