Cat Sitting in Valparaiso

“Jessica was very professional including communication and throughout her visits. Our dog loved her from the beginning. We arranged 3 drop-in visits for our dog. She was always prompt, kept us updated on how he was eating/taking potty breaks, played with him and sent us several photos or videos each drop-in. She went above and beyond to bring a package in off of our porch and spent a few minutes over the 30 minutes we agreed on for each visit. We highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Maria has been amazing checking in on my pup Nemo! He’s a growing Dane and she has been very communicative about how the visits go which I really enjoy. She’s been available last minute often and is quick to respond whether or not she’s available. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any of your pet needs. 😊”

“Alisha was fantastic! She was responsive and kept me informed, timely, clean, and very helpful on short notice. My cats were very happy with her.”

“Maddie did a great job with our dog! She was willing to come meet him a couple nights before the scheduled visit and was great about communicating with us when we were gone. Thank you Maddie!!”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Allie and I’m a lover of all animals. I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats since birth but took on caring for my very first cat Prince at the age of 5 and never stopped! Our family currently has 4 kitties (Kitzie, Luna, Pizza and Meatball) and two pups Luke and Charlie. They are all rescues and came to us with a number of different needs. Growing up I spent many of my weekends and summers pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors and now as an adult with a family of my own I enjoy it even more! We believe that animals are part of the family and should be treated that way. That is why when your fur baby stays with us you won’t see them in a kennel or locked in a dog run. He/she is part of our family while you’re away. They are allowed anywhere people are allowed, pampered and will enjoy land to run and play! We provide homemade all organic treats and encourage parents to bring a couple items such as toys, special blankets, or pet beds to remind your pet of home. We go for walks, play fetch, feed according to their diet, send lots of pictures and even an occasional play in the sprinkler if your pup is up for it! Naps and bedtime are comfortable and they will always have something soft to sleep on! Our home is nestled on a small acreage in Raymond, NE giving us lots of room to play and exercise with your pups! Let our home be your pups home away from home and have the peace of mind that they are loved, cherished and spoiled! I’m a stay at home mom and my husband is also currently working from home so we are able to dedicate our time to care for your fur baby while you have to be away. We also have a daughter in high school who is an aspiring veterinarian and loves to help care for all animals big and small. Our property is not fenced but we do have a wrap around tree line. There is plenty of room for your pups to run and play and they will always be supervised. We have plenty of toys to keep your puppy big or small busy and entertained and offer homemade organic treats daily. Your pup is welcome wherever people are! We are able to crate if that is your desire as well. We have two very friendly and social dogs of our own and they love to have friends to play and nap with. We recently installed a catio for our indoor kitties to get some fresh air and to experience the outside in a safe way. This experience is open to any kitties that come to visit as well. COVID-19 Precautions: In order to keep your family and ours safe during this pandemic we have implemented a few precautions. We ask that if you or a member of your family has COVID-19 symptoms or have had contact with an individual who has tested positive or is currently awaiting test results, that you cancel your stay. You will not be held liable for a last minute cancellation in this event and will receive a full refund. Though we typically love to invite people into our home, at this time we have decided it’s best to meet outside and only have our furry friends inside. We will sanitize all leashes, toys and personal items at drop off and pickup. During stays we also try our hardest to avoid other people that are not members of our family from coming over.

About: I’ve dog sat for about 8ish years for family and friends. I also have two dogs of my own, a Mini Golden doodle and a Westie. My family also fosters dogs occasionally so I have lots of experience with different dogs and personalities. I work full time from 8:00am-4:30pm but I’m always open to provide care early anytime between 6:00am and before 7:30am. And can provide care anytime after 4:30pm. And am free anytime on the weekends. At home we have a fenced in backyard for our fur babies and let them outside to potty and play multiple times a day. When I dog sit I usually just provide services at the clients home and don’t bring the pets to my own house. But will of course provide the same care and let the pets out multiple times a day to play and potty, and will provide walks for the pets for any client that requests.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and I currently live with two small dogs that I’ve been taking care of for the last 8 years. I have a lot of experience with both extremely small dogs like Miniature Yorkies as well as large dogs like German Shepards. I think I’m also very good puppies and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about me. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule so I can take care of your pets at almost all hours of any day. If you need me to check on your pets at 2AM that’s fine with me.😊 I am happy to accommodate for your pets and keep their schedules as normal as possible while you are away. I can take them for their daily walk or continue feeding them at their normal times.

About: As someone who works in the pet care industry and has three dogs of my own, caring for animals is a huge part of my life. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs needing extra comfort and attention, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full time in the pet care industry, so caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! With at least a week’s notice, I’m able to make my schedule flexible to best meet the needs of your pet and maintain their normal routine as much as possible. I currently offer care within my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I know how important consistency can be for animals, especially for shy pets, seniors, or pets who may become stressed in new environments. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, personality, and comfort needs to help them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind during visits.

About: I have had all kinds of different pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, and fish. I have also taken care of horses and saved a wild turtle. I will watch any kind of pet, even snakes and bugs. I have always been an avid animal lover and would love to meet and care for your pets! I am currently working at a grocery store part-time. I will need at least a one week notice so I can make sure I can be there for your pets. I have no other obligations besides making sure your pets are happy! I am willing to do whatever makes your pets most comfortable. I love sitting on the couch and cuddling or playing outside in the yard! I also love going out on walks or for a treat! I can assist in crate training should that be needed. I am very flexible!

“Daniela was wonderful. She bonded with Ruby and sent lots of pictures and video. Very reliable and punctual.”

“100% WOULD RECOMMEND AGAIN! Dom takes such good care of our boys! Our babies are very needy & have abandonment issues. They are only comfortable in their own home with their routines. We have very specific care instructions & one of ours needs medication and he fights it. Dom is consistent and he truly care about our boys’ health and wellbeing while we’re gone. We repeatedly choose Dom time after time because of his great communication, consistency, & level of quality care! Thank you again Dom, you’re the best!”

About: By day I’m a pediatric dental assistant, by night a dog mom! I have a dachshund/lab mix who is a 10 years old, an Anatolian shepherd who is 1 year old and a Bernese mountain dog who is 4 months old. I enjoy taking my dogs on walk, my 10yr old loves to swim, so in the summer we take him to lakes and a friends pool in the summer time. The younger two love to play fetch and wrestle in the back yard. They all love playing with other furry friends! I’d love to hear from you and see if I’m a good fit for your family! I currently work full time in Omaha, Monday-Thursday with the occasional Friday surgery. I’m most excited for the weekends to spend time with my furry babies. I have a fenced yard at my house, my dogs are all leash trained and closely supervised while playing with others. Willing to follow all rules and schedules as dictated by the owner. Schedules make life easier for everyone! 😁

About: I've lived with pets my entire life (except for currently) and have cared for them as long as I can remember. I've also worked at boarding centers, caring for cats and dogs and taking them for walks multiple times a day. I'm happy to follow whatever routine your dog/cat is used to! I also have experience house sitting for 5+ animals at once, so I can take on many different challenges when it come to pet care. Tasks include feeding, walking, administering medications, and cleaning litter boxes and crates. I will make sure your pet receives the attention and love it deserves! I'm available all day on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I am only available on weekends for dog sitting. Your pet would never be left for more than 2 hours at a time! I can adapt to any situation for your pet if needed. From getting up at 5am for breakfast and a morning walk in your neighborhood to going to their favorite dog park on the weekends. I live in an apartment, but live near parks and trails that I can easily take your dog for walks on. I also have lots of windows for cats to look out of in my apartment. Animals are welcome and encouraged to sit with my on my couch and bed! I also have lots of blankets to lie down if they choose the floor.

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life! I also began pet sitting at a very young age. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats of ages that range from newborn to 15. I also have experience working in an animal boarding facility. I was tasked with taking care of 50 dogs and several cats at a time as well as cats and bunnies on occasion. I administered medication and meals that followed strict diets. I would also walk each pup daily (if required by owner). I have a love for all pups and I will always do whatever I can to ensure they are happy and taken care of! I work 10-3 on weekdays and either afternoons or evenings on weekends. Other than that I am usually free and can be very flexible! As of now, I am living in an apartment. There is a dog park nearby with plenty of room for pups to run and play.

About: I have had dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life and have a lot of experience with a lot of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments! I love every experience I have with animals and am always excited to meet new fur babies! I am a full time student and a volunteer softball coach, so planning well ahead of time is very important, but I try to be flexible! I can come between classes or on my days off and my weekends are usually pretty open. I can accommodate to anything needed! I have cared for dogs with many different needs and I have experience with many different care types. I am comfortable with crating dogs or doing anything needed.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for a long time and I am able to handle the large breeds all the way to the smallest breeds. I can handle training and potty training and I can ensure comfort and confidence in each pet! I’m working part time in the morning with the afternoon and evenings free and I have Monday/thursday/Sunday off! I can do things early morning, mid afternoon, evening, and night! I own my home, with two cats that have their own space and a very social and friendly weiner dog. I have a big backyard and a phenomenal neighborhood for walking!

“Delaney is super with Baxter. Highly recommend her services!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, but also love cats as well. I’m open to stepping outside of my comfort zone for any animal. I love bathing, playing with, feeding, walking, and caring for animals. I’m available most evenings, and weekends! I am usually able to make anything work schedule wise, and can be very flexible. I will communicate anything that changes! I care for all pets like they are my own! Whatever directions are given, are followed, and updates will be sent in a timely manner.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog and cat since I was 12. I have experience with crate training dogs and maintaining the commands that my client’s use with their dog/cat. I’m very flexible to my client’s needs and always want to exceed their expectations. I’m currently a full time student, so I’ll be available mostly on the weekends to dogsit/catsit. However, I can always work with both of our schedules to accommodate drop ins during the week! I live in an apartment in downtown Lincoln, so it’s not very ideal for pet sitting. I’ve dog sat in multiple families homes, and there hasn’t been any issues or complaints. If it’s over the weekends, I can spend more time caring for your fur baby, even if that involves spending the day or night there too!

“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!!”
