Highly-rated overnight sitters - Waverly
“Shawn and Melissa are fantastic!!! This was our first time using a dog boarder. We were very skeptical. We arranged a meet and greet with Shawn, Melissa and family. They were all very loving with our dog and our dog obviously enjoyed himself during our meeting. He recently spent a couple of nights with them. They texted frequently, including sending pics, to keep us up to date with how our dog was doing. They answered our texts timely. All in all it was a very good experience. And it a huge relief to us knowing we have a safe happy home we will be using again. Thanks Shawn and Melissa.”
“Jamie was communicative, provided consistent updates, and was flexible when my travel plans fell apart. I felt that my puppy was well taken care of, and I would trust her again to look after my puppy!”
“Jenny and her family are so good to Harper. I do not worry about her while we're out of town. I also appreciate how flexible Jenny has been with our schedule. We'd highly recommend her.”
“David and Shelley were amazing. Our dog has a lot of health requirements and I was nervous to leave him for such a long time. They were great at reassuring me that they were comfortable with all of his requirements and there was nothing to worry about.”
“Bella has gotten to stay with Ashtyn and Scott twice now, and she has had a blast each time. She gets to be involved in everything that goes on with them and gets lots of lovins and attention. With quick responses and lots of updates/photos, Ashtyn and Scott are my go-to when I need to know Bella is being taken care of in good hands.”
“I think I just found my new life long boarder for my dog Finn! Stacy was so kind to both me and my dog, and she took the time to introduce us to her space and other boarders. I can tell that she takes fantastic care of all of her boarders, and I trust that she will continue to care for and love each one as her own. I don’t think you can find a better sitter in Lincoln. Thank you, Stacy!”
“Jaclyn and her family were amazing with our dog! We have nothing but positive things to say about the interaction and they were very caring and seemed to enjoy the time spent with our dog. We would absolutely recommend Jaclyn for any services in the future!”
“Jania and family were the blessing we didn’t know we needed! After leaving for vacation and realizing our original plan to leave our dog at our house and have friends pop in and out throughout the week, was not going to work for our anxious, clingy dog. We were desperate and stressed, not only did Jania respond within 5 mins to my email, but she agreed to take our dog that same day. Her communication instantly put me at ease and the photos sent twice a day were the icing on top. I was able to completely put aside any concerns and enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was happy, loved, and well taken care of! I cannot say enough good things!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Infinity is amazing!!! She took great care of my pup and was very attentive. She was also communicative and sent me updates everyday which I really appreciated. Pup got lots of love and came back home tired. We will definitely be using 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!”
About: I’ve lived my whole life with at least one pet in the house and shared responsibility in caring for him or her. I took in my own pupper, Benji, in the summer of 2020 as a 4-month-old puppy and trained him myself. My husband and I also have a precious cat named Princess who rules the roost :) We love our fur family, and I/we can’t wait to love on yours! I work a regular 8-5 job that has some flexibility in the morning and afternoon (I can come in later and leave earlier if I need to). I’m free most evenings and weekends. I can take care of pets in my apartment for a short period, but they have to be ok with cats and dogs. I have a cat tree and a litter box, and I take my small dog on a walk 3x a day. I would do the same or more for my clients. I also expect my clients to line out any needs and rules for me in their homes and/or for their pets so I can take care of them as desired.
“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.”

“Alyssa is very reliable, on time, and took wonderful care of my cat, Oggy. I really appreciated the updates with photos and notes, it made me feel so much more relaxed while I was away. When I got home, my cat was happy and comfortable. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve had two cats of my own over the years, and they’ve always held a special place in my heart. I’ve also cat-sat for family and friends, and one thing I’ve learned is that no two cats are ever quite the same. I’ve cared for everything from social little shadows who want to be involved in everything, to independent cats who prefer to keep to themselves. I understand that cats have their own personalities, routines, and boundaries, and I always let them warm up to me at their own pace. Whether your cat is playful, shy, affectionate, or a little bit of a diva, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Getting to know each cat’s unique quirks is honestly one of my favorite parts of caring for them. 🐱✨
“Ashley is lovely! She is punctual, respectful, friendly, & absolutely loves our pup! She has done everything we’ve asked of her and is very helpful. Highly recommend her 😊”
“Ella always does a great job taking care of our senior cats. She leaves everything very tidy in the house with cats who are eating which can be a big deal for our elder kitties. She is very kind and responsible.”
About: Cats are my favorite kind of company! Whether they’re shy or social, I’ll make sure your fur baby gets the love and care they deserve. I love earning their trust, giving pets and treats, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away! 💕
“shannon was awesome! I have a senior cat who was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I travel a lot so it was important for me to find someone who can drop in and administer his insulin when i can’t be there and shannon did an amazing job. she was on time and always sent me pics when she stopped in. will definitely be using her services again in the future! thanks shannon!”
About: Growing up surrounded by cats, I’ve cared for them my whole life—nurturing kittens, providing comfort, and even assisting in multiple births. With years of hands-on experience, I understand their needs and am dedicated to giving every cat the love and attention they deserve. Although I would consider myself a dog person now, I still love being able to form a special bond with every cat I come across 😻
About: I’ve spent years caring for animals—raising multiple dog and cat breeds, being the trusted friend who watches everyone’s pets, and even working as a pre-vet student and zookeeper for tigers and wolves. I now have my own husky and two cats, and I’m confident, calm, and experienced with pets of all personalities, needs, and energy levels. Because I work remotely full-time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily rotate between work and pet care, fitting in walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins whenever needed. My availability stays steady, so your pet gets reliable company, structure, and care from morning to evening. I Will be able to work with you on the comfort and needs of your pets based on mutual available resources and your pets training.
“Marcy went way over and beyond our expectations when we gave her the wrong house key. She made sure our cats and our home were secure and safe. We definitely recommend her care. Thanks again!”
About: Since I can remember, i’ve always done the favor for my neighbors/family members to take care of their pets while they are away on vacation or any last minute sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that be going on walks, giving them cuddles, playing out doors or even giving them a bath ! If you have specific instructions for me to follow, such as set feeding or potty time I will be punctual with those. I am no excited to meet your pet and spend time with them :) I am currently working a part-time job in the afternoon to later evening. I am free anytime in the morning and anytime after 7:30 pm. I am a college student and currently am on summer break, when school picks back up in the fall I will be available anytime on the weekend. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable around me and comfortable with me petting them! In your home I will first speak with owner and figure out pets routine and their favorite spots around the house and which areas are off limits, I will get familiar with the home as well. I don’t plan on having any pets over as I do live in a small apartment but if that be the case at any time, I will speak with owner and make sure I have all the essentials for their pet to have a welcoming and comfortable stay.
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“This was my very first time using anything like Rover to help take care of my dog partner. Olivia Maximilianus lived up to, and beyond, any expectations I ever had; performing with brilliant helpfulness. Providing professional service above any idea of which that I had going into the situation of needing help feeding my four-legged relative, while I traveled. With the sonic intuition of a bat soaring through the night, she knew what I needed before I could even think of it. With the professional and timely voice of mourning dove, she was prompt and unbelievably reliable. With the cool and calm discipline of a crow crossing a wire over a field of peace lilies, bluegrasses, and dandelions, she left my home and space in a cleaner and more organised way than I had left it. And with the resilience and dedication of V-formed geese, my four-legged family was exercised and engaged in such a good way. Evidenced in her calm and content energy in my return home. Reminding me of the words from my favourite poet, Mary Oliver, in the last verse of her poem titled, October: “One morning the fox came down the hill, glittering and confident, and didn’t see me- and I thought: so this is the world. I’m not in it. It is beautiful.””
About: I can quickly build a good, positive relationship with a dog. They know that I love them from the start! I have been a dog owner my whole life. I've been caring for dogs for over 15 years! Your pets are in good hands with me! I pride myself on being prompt and very responsible. I have cared for large dogs, small dogs, dogs with disabilities, and dogs who need medication. You can trust me to provide the best care when you are not available. I can also be flexible. If you have a sudden change of plans, I can work with that. I am a full-time middle school teacher, but I'm available before and after school and on weekends. I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I am an 8th Grade Math Teacher in Lincoln so I have lots of summer availability! During the school year, I'm available before/after school and in the evenings! I will come to your home up to 3 times per day to care for and play with your pets! I spend at least 1/2 hour each visit.

“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.”
“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 :)))”

“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.”

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.
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 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.

I have experience petsitting both cats and dogs! My main summer job is research, so the hours I’m available are very flexible. I make my own schedule so I can make myself available for most times! I’ve cared for lots of pets of varying age and need ranges, so I am equipped to do whatever is needed for pets to thrive while their owners are away. 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 lived my whole life with at least one pet in the house and shared responsibility in caring for him or her. I took in my own pupper, Benji, in the summer of 2020 as a 4-month-old puppy and trained him myself. My husband and I also have a precious cat named Princess who rules the roost :) We love our fur family, and I/we can’t wait to love on yours! I work a regular 8-5 job that has some flexibility in the morning and afternoon (I can come in later and leave earlier if I need to). I’m free most evenings and weekends. I can take care of pets in my apartment for a short period, but they have to be ok with cats and dogs. I have a cat tree and a litter box, and I take my small dog on a walk 3x a day. I would do the same or more for my clients. I also expect my clients to line out any needs and rules for me in their homes and/or for their pets so I can take care of them as desired.
“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.”

“Yoshi Beara had another wonderful stay with Michelle and her family while Mama was away. He returned happy and exhausted, after his play time with all of his friends! Michelle is an angel for me -- whenever I'm gone and Yosh stays with her, I never worry, as I know he is in the best possible place for his health and well-being! He also just has fun!!”
About: We have been owners of a golden retriever for 6 years and are experienced with the needs of dogs. I have also watched friends dogs many times while they were out of town. I'm a homeschooled mom who will have a lot of time during the day to give your dog love and attention. My own dog spends lots of time outside enjoying fresh air and squirrels. I have a fenced yard and can take your pup on regular walks. My kids and I love animals and will be happy to cover scratches and cuddles while you're at work or out of town
“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.”
“Wonderful overall experience - for us and the dogs. Having the dogs there for only 24 hours, we were glad that they settled in and slept through the night. Great communication; getting photos of the dogs settling in was a plus for worried parents. Highly recommend. Dogs got on well with the "house dogs" so there was no drama.”
