“I couldn’t of picked better people to watch our fur baby!! They sent us pictures of him throughout our trip, which made leaving him easier! It’s nice leaving him, knowing he will be treated like a member of their family! We will definitely use them again!”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She and her family invited my pup into their home and treated him like he was one of their own. She kept me up to date on how he was doing, sent lots of pictures, spoiled him with treats, and allowed him to get comfortable in her home. I’ll absolutely have Sarah watch my pup again when I need a sitter.”
“Alayna was excellent to work with. I have a 4 month old puppy with lots of energy. He loved visiting her house in the country, chasing bugs, and playing with her dog. I received pictures every day with little update notes. She kept up with my crate training at night, and when our flight home was delayed several hours, she was flexible with our pick up time. We will definitely be visiting her again and I would highly recommend her services.”
“This was our first time using River and our two dogs were well taken care of and knowing the care they received, we have the peace of mind to use these services in the future. Nathaniel was excellent and we’ll be using him again! Thank you!”
“We love our dogs very much and it’s great to know that we can leave them with people who show them just as much love if not more. Staci is fantastic! This was Lucy’s 4th time and Desi’s first time. As soon as Staci pulls up Lucy gets excited knowing she is going out to the farm. Both our dogs can spend their time with Staci running around the huge yard, playing with other dogs, and having a blast. Both Desi and Lucy came home a took huge naps! We look forward to rebooking with Staci again soon!”
“David and Shelly were great with Bentley and very easy to work with. I was comfortable with them from the very first time at the meet and greet. We don't leave Bentley very often, so I was nervous as to how he was going to do without us. They shared photos with us, and he looked very comfortable in their home. It was comforting to know that he was part of their family while we were away from him, even sat on David's lap while he worked and slept on the bed. Thank you for your great care of our baby.”
“After meeting Derek, I felt very at ease with leaving my dog for his first time away from me. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs and it shows! Derek was very kind and responsive to work with. He sent a daily update on my dog and included the best pictures!”
“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!!!”
“Ashlee did great with Rex while we were on vacation, sending lots of updates and a few pictures. Rex got plenty of exercise and attention while he was with her and her dogs and cats. Ashlee was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times making things easy on us.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Jordan, Jon and their kids are awesome!! Both my fur babies (a Pom and a Cane Corso) are well taken care of. My dogs love their dog Ace (and so do I). I now consider J&J godparents to my pups! I trust them and feel good leaving my pups with them. 💕”
“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.”
About: Finding pet care can be an anxiety inducing experience. My job is to provide pet parents with total comfort and peace of mind knowing that their fur babies are being well taken care of while they are away. Hey there! My name is Kayla and I am a 30 year old childless cat (and dog) lady. I have spent my entire life around animals and wouldn't have it any other way. We always had dogs while growing up, which eventually grew into also having cats, mice, lizards, etc. I turned this personal love of animals into a profession by spending many years working in pet boarding/daycare facilities, pet shelters, and by pet sitting on the side. I have been around so many different kinds of pet personalities and temperaments and strive to approach each animal appropriately to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I have also had much experience with special needs and senior pets. A big part of my job is it keep owners updated on any concerns I have or to ask important questions, so you never miss a beat of what is going on with your furry companion while you are gone. I pride myself in having a ton of heart and genuine care for any animal I come into contact with, and promise to treat your fur baby as my own - belly rubs and treats included! I currently work full time, 9-5 M-F. I will have plenty of time in the late afternoon/evening to care for your pets, as well as open availability Saturday and Sunday I will care for your fur baby just like he or she is my own! I'm good at following instructions of care and sticking to the routine they are used to. Plenty of belly rubs and walks included!
About: I have had dogs since I was a child. Anything from Dachshunds to Great Danes. I have been through formal training with a good amount of my dogs. I am the pack leader. I love cuddles and often all dogs can be found sitting close to me. I would love a rescue someday. I work from home and am able to take the dogs out often throughout the day. Our dogs sleep with me on their mats in my bedroom. I can feed and water them as much as needed. I watch them often, listen for que’s and or energy change. I am the pack leader, so they know Mama is in charge. I make sure water is full at all times, feed them as needed, give lots of loves and other care such as baths, cleaning ears, etc.
About: With hands-on experience working at Kenl Inn in Lincoln, NE, I’ve gained valuable experience caring for dogs and providing them with the attention, patience, exercise, and love they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I am available throughout the week and weekends to care for your furry family! I will prioritize your pets needs and comfort while you are away. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I provide personalized, loving attention based on their individual needs and routine. I make sure they receive fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, medication when needed, and plenty of love and companionship. I also keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Michael, Lindsey and family were wonderful! We were hesitant to leave our less than 5 month old rescue with anyone but had this trip booked long before he landed with us. They sent so many pictures and it was obvious our little Fig was so loved in our absence. We will definitely use this family again! It made traveling much less stressful for us. Thank you!”

“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!!”
“Wr needed a dog/house sitter for a last minute trip. I didn't want just anyone, either. Ibqas so worried our dogs were just going to be let out 3-4 times a day, and not get any play time. That was not the case when I got on here and found Ashlee. She was simply amazing! She sent me pictures of our dogs multiple times a day, was always checking in with me. Our dogs usually have separation anxiety and they seemed to do just fine with her! She walked our dogs multiple times, spoiled the with treats, played with them outside for a while! We were very blessed to have found Ashlee. We liked her so much we booked her again when we went to a concert, and we have her potentially booked for our vacation in February! She is a fantastic dog/house sitter. Thanks again, Ashlee! ?”

“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.”
“Derek was amazing with my dog, Korra! I was really hesitant because she just came from the shelter but he worked with her and was able to give me some much needed pointers! I really appreciated he was able to work with my very high energy dog!”
“Mollie loves to go to Shawn & Melissa’s house! She runs to the door when we arrive! Mollie loved playing with Shawn & Melissa’s new sweet doggie Willow today! We are so blessed & thankful to have Shawn, Melissa & their twin girls as our dog sitters! We are so grateful to have people who we can trust with our precious dog! And it’s so easy to leave her knowing she absolutely loves her time at their house!”
“Alayna and her accommodations for our dog couldn’t have been more perfect! Her sweetness and enthusiasm for the dogs is genuine. We will definitely use her services again and recommend her to everyone!!🥰🐾♥️”
About: We live on an acreage. Plenty of space to run, play or chill! We have 2 very sweet dogs that we spoil every day. Every dog has its own personality and we love figuring out what we think they are saying and at times we give them voices/accents/languages. Would a poodle say “hey dude what’s up”. They may here. 😆 Dogs are woven into every part of our day. We keep them with us or they have a fenced yard and decks to nap on. We have 2 very sweet dogs and very spoiled. Our dogs come when they’re called or they hear the magic word. We don’t crate/kennel our dogs but will yours if you prefer, especially puppies not potty trained.
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: 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.
“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.”
“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!”
About: I care deeply about dogs and their welfare, including love and exercise. My dog Mitzy also loves other dogs and is a gentle companion; she loves to play and make friends. I work from home, so I am available at all times. I will spend time with your pup, and my own dog is very loving. I have a fenced backyard and we have a huge neighborhood area exclusively to us homeowners the size of a football field. Also there are to parks within 5 minutes.
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.
“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.”

“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!”
About: I have cared for dogs large and small, including walks, play time and overnight stays. I also have experience with dogs who don't bond with other dogs in the home, as well knowing how to manage and and be sensitive to dogs with anxiety. I work from home with some flexibility to my schedule, and have the ability to care for some pets in my home. I am also able for house sitting. I live in an apartment with a loft, which gives pets plenty of room. There is a dog friendly area outside where I am able to take dogs on a leash for walks, etc. There is also a dog park in my neighborhood.
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.

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!
