About: I have had pets my entire life and have taken care of family friends dogs before. My dogs are rescues, so that is training on its own. When family is out of town I take care of theirs, that includes my aunt and uncle, grandparents, and more. I'm a pretty flexible person, I like being up early and I don't mind driving to come take care of animals. I do work a lot, meaning i'll be out and about and am always down to come see some animals. I also love taking animals on a good walk!! I am huge on love and attention, making sure that they are well kept. My dogs are a little too loved, they really love their treats. But I am respectful of all owners rules for their animals and will take care of them to the best of my ability as if the owners weren't gone.
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!
“Kristin was AMAZING! Honestly it was our first time using Rover and it was literally so calming and easy with her. She went above and beyond and really took care of the details that Sly needed! She’s kind and funny, and you can really trust her. We WILL be using her again, and are so thankful for her!”

I believe in rescuing animals in need.

Hattie B.
“Both our dogs are rescues. Penelope was attention deprived and fed very little and Beatrice aka Little One was in a hoarded situation, never allowed out of her kennel and put in a kennel too small for her and starved. We got both dogs at different times, but Hattie was the first to greet them when they arrived. Penelope was very curious and wanted to sniff everything! The first night we had her, it started to storm, Hattie sat with her in the living room all night comforting her so she knew she was safe. She helped to get her comfortable on a leash and made sure she had treats every time she took her out. Beatrice was a mess when she came to us! She hadn't been in town more than a few hours and wanted to bark at everyone and everything she saw. The volunteers who brought her over said she was aggressive with them but Hattie had the magical touch! When Hattie took her out to go to the bathroom, Little One instantly liked her! She listened, she went out, she took the treat willing from her and got excited to walk and sniff around. Little One had never take stairs before, so Hattie took the time to show her how to walk up and down the stairs until she was comfortable. And, our cats could never get enough Hattie snuggles. They would lay with her on the couch, snuggle in bed with her and always make sure to come get the belly rubs, chin scratches and greet Hattie whenever she was around.”

Olivia D.
“If you’re looking for a dog sitter you found the right person, Olivia is honest and very caring person. Will take care of your dog as if it was her own. Her and her dog are inseparable and she has done a great job with him and all her dogs in the past. I would recommend Olivia over and over again to anyone needing her services!”
landri l.
“Landri was so sweet with our two pets, we like to have her house/pet sit for us every chance we can. She clearly has a love for animals and years of experience. She knows exactly how to handle any situation, calmly and responsibly - she kept us updated with tons of pictures and comments on how the pets were eating as well as adjusting to us being gone. We trust her entirely, she’s stayed at our house with our pets on multiple occasions and always done a terrific job. She took the pups on a walk long enough to actually tucker them out (which we try to do and never manage). She’s the best.”
