We would feel very confident trusting Andrea with our dogs in the future!”

“Best possible choice I could have hoped for! When we came for a visit to see if it would be a good fit, Annie was comfortable and at home immediately...the house had good doggie vibes. I knew then that it would be fine to leave her there. Patricia was in touch at least daily with pictures and what Annie was up to. Very responsive to any concerns and didn't hesitate to ask questions. I received a very calm and happy dog when I returned. Couldn't have asked for more! Would not hesitate to use Patricia again!”

He reached out to me every day, sent me pics and videos of our dogs, and responded immediately every time I checked in with him. He has a beautiful house with a very high fence, which was important for us since one of our dogs is a high jumper. He even gave our dogs a bath before they came home! After meeting Vance, we never once worried about our babies. They were so well taken care of, and we loved that someone was with them 24/7.

I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring”

About: I have taken care of cats for a short period when I was younger. I have cleaned the litter box and fed them. In addition, I have played with cats when my friend was fostering kittens. My schedule is pretty flexible, so feel free to reach out!

About: I love dogs and cats. I have had them my whole life! My labrador just passed away so I am looking for some pet interaction! I miss her dearly.

“This was the first time my partner and I left our cats longer than eight hours since we adopted them. I knew I wanted to make sure they had someone who could not only to feed them twice a day, but provide a presence for them. Jason took care of our cats while we were gone and when we arrived, it was like they hardly noticed we were gone. They were happy to see us, of course, but they were perfectly content and happy when we got home. Jason gave us constant updates and photos during our trip and honestly left our home better than he found it (we gave it an honest go of cleaning before leaving!). We will definitely try to book with Jason again should we take another trip.”
“Liz was dependable and followed all instructions perfectly. She also did a great job with staying in communication throughout her time as our pet sitter and left the pet with a clean and sanitary environment on the last day. We WILL be hiring Liz again! Thanks for everything and well done!”
“So delighted to meet Jeri and experience her incredible care for our cats during our recent trip. Jeri was so easy to work with and we knew instantly she would not only become our “go to” for future drop in visits. We had no worries upon departure knowing Jeri was in charge. One of our cats normally hides but with Jeri, there was no hesitation. We HIGHLY recommend Jeri! Five stars for sure!!! Thanks Jeri!!”
“Rebecca did a great job watching our cat, Brody. She provided daily updates and everything (litter box, floor area around box, etc) was very clean. Would definitely use Rebecca again!!”
“Haeli was great. I am a first time customer and from the first meeting I was at ease with her watching my cats. She is a great communicator and when I came home my cats weren't on edge like they usually are. She even brought in our trash cans after our trash day. I will be using her again!”
“Melissa was the best cat sitter I've ever had!! She sent plenty photos and made me feel so safe to leave home with her watching over nova. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“I recently booked Marc to take care of my cat. She's definitely a less than friendly feline with strangers, and he was great with her. She requires meds twice a day and he had zero issues getting her taken care of. I'd absolutely recommend Marc to take care of any animal if you need help.”
“Once a day drop in visits 30 minutes: Communication amazing. Very sweet and understanding. My kitties loved her. Enjoyed the photos while I was away missing them 🙂”
“Summer did a fantastic job watching over our 4 cats, I felt very comfortable having her home. Great communication, I only wish that our pets were a little more welcoming, they are a little too dedicated to the art of Hide and Seek! Thanks Summer for taking care of our crew!”
“Gabrielle was absolutely perfect in looking after our 4 cats while we were away. Right before leaving, our youngest cat had some sort of upset stomach. While it quickly resolved and allowed us to carry out our travel plans, Gabrielle was quick to put our minds at ease by keeping us informed of the cat’s eating habits. She also went above and beyond to make sure our more timid cat - who hides from strangers - got her food while hiding behind the washing machine. This timid cat even began to hide less often during Gabrielle’s time stopping in. We returned home to 4 very happy cats. No question Gabrielle is top notch and will put your mind at ease during travel!”
“Sophie is our go too when we are out of town. She is great at communicating and flexible. Always keeps the house tidy and follows instructions to a tee! Dependable and prompt! Birdie and Pickles.”

About: Your pup must be respectful of cats please. I completely understand curiosity, just not stalking or chasing. I took so much care of our lab when she was 15 and had Cushings. I definitely have a sweet spot for senior pets. She has since crossed the 🌈. Max is our 5 yr old Husky/Lab mix and he's our sweet big boy. We have love for big and small dogs! We have a huge grassy 6 and 4 ft fenced in yard (we connected to our neighbors 4 ft fence - see pictures) and Max would seriously love a friend to play with or just chill with. My husband and I work from home so one of us will be home all the time. We usually go on a mid morning walk and an evening walk, weather permitting. My kids are 11 and 16 and adore animals. We have a cat, Freddy, who loves Max. We will love your pet like they were our own ♥️ My husband and I work from home full-time. Our dog has separation anxiety so one of us will be home when your pet is here! We have a 6 and 4 ft privacy fence, large grassy backyard. Max gets on the leather couch but not our fabric couch or bed. He doesn't ever try. We wake up early to feed Max at 7 so early mornings is a non issue in our house! We typically go on 2 short walks a day (15-20 min). We're a chill household.

About: My focus is on providing a stress free and activity filled adventure for your dog! I have a securely fenced acre of land (six foot high fence with jump guards) with plenty of room for safe free running. My personal dogs are all dog friendly and we enjoy frisbee and long walks daily and have previously competed in various dog sports. I have senior dogs and understand the extra care that seniors can require including medication administration and providing rugs for footing. Puppies who have been appropriately vaccinated are welcome as well. I work from home and my life revolves around the dogs and the schedule that includes feeding 2-3x per day, medications for my senior dogs and exercise as both individuals and in groups. My motto is happy dogs = happy clients. As mentioned above, I believe strongly in routine and schedule. My property has a secure fenced back yard and the yard is divided as well. Some of my clients love to sun themselves all day, some prefer to go sprint the back acre. I’ve had both positive and negative experiences with pet sitters myself and never want it to be a stressful experience for the owner or the pet. Updates are given daily with photo and/or video.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old and started caring for them at a young age. Now I even have my own dog who isn’t always super calm so I understand how to help anxious pups as well as how to give them their medications! I’ve also been pet sitting for quite some time whenever a coworker or friend needs someone for the weekend! I just work part time so I’m really flexible and available to spend time with your pups! I just ask that expectations are made clear for time at the beginning! I am used to having a fenced in area but I’m also more than happy to walk your dog on a leash if that’s what they need for exercise!
About: I view each dog as a unique individual that needs love and care based on their needs and personality. I understand that some dogs need to be tired out in order to relax and some would just prefer belly rubs on the couch for hours. I love spending time outside and going to the gym so I would love to take your pup on a long walk to get their energy out if that's something they need! I do have experience caring for elderly and handicapped dogs as well and I know they require lots of love and patience. I really value the safety of your pet and home as my first priority so anything I can do to accommodate you and your dogs needs I am more than happy to do so. I like to send photo updates to keep you in the loop and will always defer to your preferences and instructions when caring for your pup. I started petsitting when I graduated high school because I wanted to spend more time with animals and I've been able to meet so many amazing people, and even more amazing dogs ;) over the years. I now have 8 years of experience petsitting, from drop in visits/walks, as well as extended stays in homes caring for multiple high energy or handicapped dogs at once. I'm usually the go-to person for my friends and family to take care of their pets since they know I'm always eager to spend more time with animals. Please reach out for any questions!! I work a Monday to Friday 9-5 job, and am very blessed to have a flexible job where I can leave during lunch and or in the afternoon again if need be. For drop in visits/walks I am available during lunchtime, or after 5pm. If I am staying in-home while you are gone I will swing by over lunch to spend time with your pup, take them outside, etc. If they require more times to be let outside I am typically able to leave another time during the day so they have two breaks during the 8am to 5pm timeframe. I am happy to discuss logistics and accommodate to you and your pups needs! While I staying in your home, or if I am just dropping by to take your pup on a quick walk, I am very conscious of safety and privacy. I understand it takes a level of trust to allow someone in your home when you are gone and am especially aware of locking doors behind me when coming and going, as well as respecting your privacy. I air on the side of caution and will always reach out to you directly if any issues were to ever arise!
About: I currently work at an animal shelter. I have been certified in pet CPR, First Aid and Behavior, and trained to administer medication via shots or orally, as well as care for elderly pets.

I am able to do drop-in visits and dog walking (sometimes not in the freezing weather).
“Patrick was always on time, and walked each of my dogs for the amount of time agreed upon. I truly believe he loves my dogs as much as I do! I would 110% recommend Patrick and Jillian! I’m home with a broken foot, and Patrick went above and beyond by helping get my trash out and brining up my packages. This is my first time using any app to help with my dogs, and I was a little apprehensive to let a stranger be with my pets, but I’m beyond thankful, grateful, and pleased by my experience with Patrick. He’d take the dogs for their walks while I wasn’t home, and have complete and utter trust in him. Thank you Patrick for your help during my difficult time.”

About: Hi! My name is Kelsey and I am in my sixth year of teaching... so I love working with kids, but I love working with dogs just as much. I’ve had lots of experience dog sitting for family friends’ dogs. I have also dog/housesit for families in Lincoln as well as walked dogs when families are busy. I currently do have a dog, but I enjoy getting to work with other pets as well. My availability is very flexible as well as pay. So feel free to message me and we can negotiate with hours/pay and I can provide you with multiple references and work out any details! I’m a teacher, and so I currently have my summer off. I have my own dog to care for which is why I do not allow boarding services. But I am very flexible with times. I care for my dog my giving him lots of love and attention. I’m also big into being active so we go on runs and walks every day. I fell as if I am a very caring and kind person, so I treat every animal as if it were mine, with all the love and support.
About: I've had and cared for pets my entire life. I've cared for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, ducks, snakes, a crab, hamsters, and rabbits, no partridge in a pear tree yet! I’m a graphic designer so I work from home. This mean I have very flexible availability to work from my clients home and give their pets a lot of extra love and care throughout the day. I also occasionally work on a farm but wouldn’t be away from my client’s pets for more than 4 hours. I am very thorough with my assessment and questions I ask when house/pet sitting at houses to make sure anything needed is available, or that I may be ready for any issue that may come up. I also LOVE to leave the house I'm sitting at better than I found it. My mother taught me at a young age how incredibly nice it is to return to a very clean house after a trip. It's a lovely gift I truly enjoy to give when I'm finished housesitting.

He reached out to me every day, sent me pics and videos of our dogs, and responded immediately every time I checked in with him. He has a beautiful house with a very high fence, which was important for us since one of our dogs is a high jumper. He even gave our dogs a bath before they came home! After meeting Vance, we never once worried about our babies. They were so well taken care of, and we loved that someone was with them 24/7. They also got to play with other dogs he was watching at the same time. It is apparent just how much Vance loves dogs, and how much dogs love Vance! We plan to always book with him in the future!”
“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.”
“Janet was wonderful! She sent frequent updates and our dog was very content with her. Our dog is older and takes medications daily and Janet had no problem giving these to her, even when our dog was stubborn about taking them. We will definitely book with her again!”
“We just moved to town and feel so fortunate we found Nicole to dog sit. Our dog can be very hesitant of new people and scared to death of fireworks. Her whole family went above and beyond to take care of Magic over the 4th of July weekend. Highly recommend”
