“Shawn & Melissa responded quickly to our inquiry about a meet and greet for our 10 year old Lab (Cooper) and Melissa was very warm and welcoming for both the meet and greet and his overnight stay. She did and excellent job of communicating and responding to any questions or concerns and sent pictures during Cooper's stay. You can tell Shawn and Melissa and their girls, Alli & Zoey, love dogs and are quite comfortable with them in their home. We will definitely have Cooper stay with Shawn and Melissa in the future.”
“Our usual sitter was unavailable so I was very pleased to find Stacy. She was well organized ahead of time with wanting info about caring for Baileys. Our meet and greet went well with her and Pearl so I felt comfortable leaving Baileys with them. I got frequent photos and updates while Baileys stayed with them and really enjoyed those messages. They were cute and funny and it really helped me knowing Baileys was in such good hands. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again when the opportunity arises.”
“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.”
“Derek was awesome with Percy. He sent absolutely amazing photos of their walks & time together and Percy seemed really happy & healthy when we picked him up. Would absolutely book again!”
“Jamie did great with my two dogs. She kept me updated everyday with how they were doing and what they had been up to. I highly recommend her if you need a good home for your pets to stay.”
“My dog Juno is new to us and so nervous about being left. Infinity took extra time to help her eat when she was anxious and to let her play with other pups to help ease her mind. Thanks so much!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Jenny's house has such an organic and welcoming environment for dogs. While leaving, my rescue watched out the rear window as we drove away; a clear sign he wanted to stay, and utterly remarkable given how reluctant he normally is around children”
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.
“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 cares for my little lamb as if he were one her own children (human and fur). It's so comforting and reassuring to know that Yoshi Bear has excellent care when I am out of town. I highly recommend Michelle and her ability to care for my child. The photos she sends are always so cute, as well! I will book again with Michelle -- she is amazing!!”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”

“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.”
“David and Shelly were a great help when we were passing through Lincoln and needed dogcare for a few hours. I have a GSP and Rhodesian Ridgeback, so not small or quiet dogs :). They brought them into their home without question and had yard for them to stretch and play for a few hours with their pup. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and began to walk dogs for others at a young age. I started dog sitting about 5 years ago! I am a full time student but completely online. I drive across town multiple times a day so it’s easy for me to stop in or have a good walk often! My apartment is able to host small dogs and cats comfortably. Exercise will be a big part of our days as well as just interacting and making sure they are safe.
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 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’ve mostly cared for bigger dogs with a lot of energy. I regularly look after my friend’s pets as well as my family’s. I have a dog of my own, she’s very active and friendly. I’ve had her for over a year and learned so much about dogs from being a pet parent. I got to school part-time but I still have quite a bit of time throughout the day for check-ins. The weekends are best for boarding. I like to do dog walking throughout the week. I spend most of my time at home so I don’t mind hosting at my home but I’ll also do care at a client’s home. I do not have a fenced in back yard but I live in an area with a lot of parks and open spaces. I do spend a lot of time outside so I’m comfortable with going out for multiple walks a day. I don’t provide treats of my own unless the owner asks me too or if they tell me what they’re okay with their pet eating. I don’t give pets food I’m eating because I don’t want them to choke or they could get sick.
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.

“Shawn & Melissa responded quickly to our inquiry about a meet and greet for our 10 year old Lab (Cooper) and Melissa was very warm and welcoming for both the meet and greet and his overnight stay. She did and excellent job of communicating and responding to any questions or concerns and sent pictures during Cooper's stay. You can tell Shawn and Melissa and their girls, Alli & Zoey, love dogs and are quite comfortable with them in their home. We will definitely have Cooper stay with Shawn and Melissa in the future.”
“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.”
“Derek was awesome with Percy. He sent absolutely amazing photos of their walks & time together and Percy seemed really happy & healthy when we picked him up. Would absolutely book again!”
“Jamie did great with my two dogs. She kept me updated everyday with how they were doing and what they had been up to. I highly recommend her if you need a good home for your pets to stay.”
“My dog Juno is new to us and so nervous about being left. Infinity took extra time to help her eat when she was anxious and to let her play with other pups to help ease her mind. Thanks so much!”
“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!!!”
“Jenny's house has such an organic and welcoming environment for dogs. While leaving, my rescue watched out the rear window as we drove away; a clear sign he wanted to stay, and utterly remarkable given how reluctant he normally is around children”
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.
“Michelle cares for my little lamb as if he were one her own children (human and fur). It's so comforting and reassuring to know that Yoshi Bear has excellent care when I am out of town. I highly recommend Michelle and her ability to care for my child. The photos she sends are always so cute, as well! I will book again with Michelle -- she is amazing!!”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Our dog was very happy when we picked him up from Thomas! I appreciated that he was willing to do a meet and greet and he shared exercises that he does with dogs to help any nervousness. Our dog is very content and was well cared for today.”
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.
