“Our pup loved staying with Emily! They were very flexible with our pick up time since we were coming back from a volleyball tourney and weren't exactly sure what time we would arrive. I would highly recommend.”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“Gary and Heather were amazing with our Corgi, Riley! I could tell by the daily pictures they sent that she was comfortable and loved while in their care. We will definitely book with them again!”
“So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!”
“Sally did such a great job with our older pup, Lucy. She helped Lucy adjust and supported her medical needs. We had a last minute change and she was great to help up make it work. Great care!”
“John and Shannon were wonderful with our dog Oslo. You can tell this family really loves dogs. We got sweet updates throughout our trip. Oslo was happy to see us at the end but we think he would have been happy to stay with his new family - ha! I was particularly struck by their flexibility and resourcefulness when our flight was canceled coming home from our trip. They were gracious, flexible and communicative.”
“Lauren and her family took Doug in as if he was their own. I recieved updates and plenty of pictures of Doug playing with their puppy Cinder, who is an absolute sweetheart. There is absolutely no doubt that I will be booking with Lauren and her family again.”
“12/10! She and her husband took in my zoo last minute, was super communicative and sensitive to any needs the had. My Newfie and English bully absolutely adores her golden and was even able to have a little birthday treat for her golden while there🤩 She is my go to now, 100%. Thanks for everything!”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Liwei was absolutely incredible! She sent frequent updates and clearly took amazing care of our two dogs. Both our pups have anxiety but Liwei and her daughter made sure they knew all the things our dogs needed to feel safe and comfortable for their week stay. We highly recommend her service to others and would absolutely request her help again in the future when needed.”
“Nicholas and Emily did a great job! They were responsive and accommodating of my schedule, and sent adorable picture updates every day which helped me feel at ease while I was away! Molly came home happy and very sleepy, I can tell she had a great trip! I would absolutely book with them again.”
“I would highly recommend LL Cool Dog! From the initial inquiry to the time we picked up our beagle, Sammy, Leslie and her family were stellar. Leslie takes her job seriously and is very professional. She asks the right questions and quickly eases your mind that your "baby" will be in good hands in your absence. The family dog, Shiloh, is a sweet dog with a great disposition. Our 8 year old got along splendidly with her as well. Awesome family, awesome yard, awesome care!”
“Loni did great with my boy! He is always a nervous wreck when I leave.... Loni did great in making sure to give him some space and give a comfortable environment. She had great communication throughout the day as well. Even sent a few pics, which was nice! Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Our regular dog sitter pulled out at the last minute due to necessary travel, and we felt a little anxious about leaving Emmie with people we'd didn't know. As it turned out, we couldn't have been happier! Rita and Brian were the perfect pet parents for Emmie. Their house is spotless, they have a nice back garden, set up for dogs to feel right at home. We were gone for 16 days--a long time--but every day we received many photos of Emmie along with a summary of the day's activities. She got tons of attention and cuddles with daily walks and playtime. We will definitely be booking again!”
“We were probably more anxious than the dogs to leave them with a stranger! This was our first time needing boarding after adopting Tiko 4yrs ago, and Bella 10yrs ago. We usually have at least one family member who stays behind for the fur babies. Bill was quick to respond, and allowed us a meet and greet before booking the stay. Their property us beautiful, with a huge fenced back yard, surrounded by cows and horses. They provided photo updates during our stay, and our pups seemed to genuinely enjoy their vacation from home. They were well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, if ever boarding is needed!”
“Kelsey and her family took care of my dog for 3 weeks and I don’t think I could have found a more loving and perfect family to care for my dog. I got daily photo updates and after seeing the way they treated my dog like a part of the family I had ZERO worries. Best dog sitter in the Omaha area!”
“Andrew is wonderful! My Bri was so well taken care of, she almost didn't want to go home. Andrew provides a wonderful home and family environment. Clean, dogs play openly and the videos and pictures show them all having fun and even playing with the kids who adore having dogs around. On a personal note, anyone who fosters a blind and deaf dog shows his love fir animals (BTW, the blind dogs played as much as t h e rest of them). This is not a sitter, the dogs feel at home. Thank you so much.”
“Jasmine was amazing with my dog Kobe! She kept me up to date sending pics and informing me of his stay which made me felt relieved he was in great care. I totally plan on boarding my pup with her and her family again on future trips!”
“Mary was wonderful! She sent at least one update a day, usually more, and my high energy doodle had such a great time with her and her husband and their own dogs. He got lots and lots of exercise with regular walks and zoomies in their giant backyard. We’d love to use Mary again!”
“Scott was able to take a quick last minute booking. He was super kind to my very flighty dogs. He had the dogs comfortable enough that they were actually resting in their dog beds. Very thankful for his willingness to help in a pinch.”

“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! She was absolutely incredible with my two kitties. Samantha arrived at reasonable times twice a day to feed them while I was away, and her attention to detail was impressive. She listened to all my instructions carefully, ensuring my fur babies were well taken care of. It was clear that the kitties loved her! I would give her a 10/10 and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat/pet sitter!”
“Emily is simply amazing, she exceeded our expectations by far. She was prompt, thorough and very attentive in her check ins with my cat. Will definitely be a repeat customer of hers.”
“This is the second time we’ve booked with Marlyn and she is great! Our two cats love her and she is very communicative and willing go the extra mile for our cats! We will continue to book with her!”
“Karlina took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town. She not only fed her and cleaned up her litter box, but she also spent time playing with her and giving her cuddles. I will definitely ask Karlina to check in on my cat in the future.”
“Heather did a fantastic job sitting for our cat Tito. Each day she came in and would send pictures which made our time away from him a little bit easier. She is very dependable and we would highly recommend her. We will definitely use her again.”
“Alanna was great! She had great communication and was very flexible with my schedule. I felt that my baby cat was in good hands while I was away. And from the look of the photos Minnie loved her too! Thank you Alanna!!”
“Destany did a fantastic job! She sent me so many photos while I was on vacation and I was confident my cats were in great care the whole week. I would 10/10 recommend Destany to anyone looking for pet care.”
About: I have owned and fostered several different cats and kittens for the last six years. I can appropriately read body language with cats and give them the proper care and attention (if wanted) that they need. I am adamant about having their litter boxes cleaned and can administer medication if need be. I have experience with giving medication to cats and kittens, trimming nails, and even walking cats!
About: I grew up with a cat, so I’ve been around feline care from a young age, and I’ve continued spending time with friends’ cats over the years. Through that, I’ve gotten comfortable with different personalities, from affectionate cats who love attention to more independent or shy ones who need space. I understand the importance of respecting a cat’s boundaries and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I’m attentive to feeding routines, playtime, and keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. I also pay close attention to behavior so I can make sure your cat is comfortable and doing well while you’re away. I take the time to let cats warm up to me naturally and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their own home.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I started dog walking and pet sitting as a kid for neighbors and friends, and that early experience turned into a lifelong love for caring for pets. I grew up with dogs and have had cats my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I currently have two cats of my own, so I have hands-on experience caring for both younger, more energetic cats and older cats who may need a little extra patience and attention. I understand how different each stage of life can be and adjust my care accordingly. To me, pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same level of care, patience, and attention I give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”

“Zach did such a phenomenal job looking after my girl Winnie! He let her play with his dogs, he helped with her training, and he was always really happy and provided good advice for my pup!”

I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a quiet neighborhood for peaceful walks. If your dog requires or is more comfortable in a crate, I can comfortably fit one in my home as well.

About: I’ve been a proud dog and cat mom for more than 40 years. I spent three decades in the corporate world — often working long hours or traveling for business. Leaving my fur kids behind was always the hardest part, especially when it came to finding someone I could truly trust to love and care for them the way I would. That experience inspired me to offer pet care built on trust, compassion, and genuine love for animals. Knowing that you can head out for the day (or that much-needed vacation) with total peace of mind — that’s what makes this work so rewarding. I grew up in southwestern Ohio, where I began pet sitting in my neighborhood at the age of 13. My lifelong love of animals has led me to volunteer with local humane societies and rescue groups, and I've also been a foster mom. Our most recent "foster fail" is Pippa, a sassy one-year-old ginger kitty. Our fur family also includes two tabby cats, Bo and Cledus, who we adopted as kittens four years ago), and two rowdy pups who are also rescues, Wally (age 12) and Milo (age 2), bothShih Tzu mixes. I'm retired from my corporate marketing career and work a part-time job a few days a week. That leaves plenty of time for drop-in visits or to take your fur baby on a walk. I'm in the neighborhood, which means I'm nearby when you need unexpected help. I'm happy to provide loving care when you can't be there. I have a senior dog who has some medical issues that require extra attention. I also have a young pup who demands lots of attention, including daily walks. I'm experienced in the full spectrum of dog care. My dogs are leash-trained and crate trained. I also have 3 cats, ranging from 1 to 4 years and have experience brushing, feeding, hairball treating, litter box cleaning and playing.

We highly recommend her service to others and would absolutely request her help again in the future when needed.”
“Nicholas and Emily did a great job! They were responsive and accommodating of my schedule, and sent adorable picture updates every day which helped me feel at ease while I was away! Molly came home happy and very sleepy, I can tell she had a great trip! I would absolutely book with them again.”
“I would highly recommend LL Cool Dog! From the initial inquiry to the time we picked up our beagle, Sammy, Leslie and her family were stellar. Leslie takes her job seriously and is very professional. She asks the right questions and quickly eases your mind that your "baby" will be in good hands in your absence. The family dog, Shiloh, is a sweet dog with a great disposition. Our 8 year old got along splendidly with her as well. Awesome family, awesome yard, awesome care!”
“Loni did great with my boy! He is always a nervous wreck when I leave.... Loni did great in making sure to give him some space and give a comfortable environment. She had great communication throughout the day as well. Even sent a few pics, which was nice! Highly recommended!”
“We were probably more anxious than the dogs to leave them with a stranger! This was our first time needing boarding after adopting Tiko 4yrs ago, and Bella 10yrs ago. We usually have at least one family member who stays behind for the fur babies. Bill was quick to respond, and allowed us a meet and greet before booking the stay. Their property us beautiful, with a huge fenced back yard, surrounded by cows and horses. They provided photo updates during our stay, and our pups seemed to genuinely enjoy their vacation from home. They were well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, if ever boarding is needed!”
“Kelsey and her family took care of my dog for 3 weeks and I don’t think I could have found a more loving and perfect family to care for my dog. I got daily photo updates and after seeing the way they treated my dog like a part of the family I had ZERO worries. Best dog sitter in the Omaha area!”
“Mary was wonderful! She sent at least one update a day, usually more, and my high energy doodle had such a great time with her and her husband and their own dogs. He got lots and lots of exercise with regular walks and zoomies in their giant backyard. We’d love to use Mary again!”
“My pups were happy with Kayleigh and had a wonderful stay. They were both exhausted upon returning home and lounge around the rest of the evening. We felt very comfortable leaving them there and will use her again.”
“Angela was wonderful with our dog. He absolutely enjoyed his time with her family with unlimited love and affection! Her fenced backyard was his happy place for playtime, sniffing and bird watching. Overall a perfect stay and he will definitely be back for another vacation!”
“Kristine and her family were absolutely amazing watching our pup for the week! She sent great and frequent updates and pictures, and it was apparent that our dog was getting the best care. It was one thing we didn’t have to worry about at all while on vacay, as we knew our dog was in great hands! We 100% would highly recommend and use again!!”
“Karl was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! She is super anxious and he had the patience to let her warm up. He was even able to walk her, which our other dog watchers aren’t able to! He also provided daily updates so we always knew how she was doing. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”
“AMAZING dog sitter!!! Marlyn did an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE job with my dog who is high anxiety, high maintenance, gets stressed very easily, and has a very difficult time with humans. I was so grateful that despite my dog having a difficult temperament, she handled him expertly and I was able to have a worry free trip! She’s was extremely considerate and thorough with her care for him. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my dog and will definitely be using her for all future sittings. She’s truly an expert dog sitter, book her asap, she’s the best!!!”
“Kassi is the BEST! She goes above and beyond providing care and Tate loved spending time at her home! He was there a few days and was a happy 🐶. Kassi is great with providing updates and pictures- she is so thoughtful and sweet! Highly recommend!!”
“She was great! Took awesome care of our dogs despite one of them having severe separation anxiety! Wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
