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: No stranger to the busy lifestyle of owning pets. A household of dogs, a kitty cat, and farm animals help to keep my experience fresh! Every job since age 16 has been in the animal care industry. From vet clinic, to specialty boutique, to doggie daycare management. Animals truly are my passion. I would love to share that care with your pups! A mid day ear scratch, belly rub, or quick walk around the block! I’m fortunate that my full time work schedule allows me to offer an afternoon potty or a walk around to stretch those legs. Fresh air does wonders! I live on a farm with a few acres that allows my personal dogs to run and romp around. We also head to the lake near our house to walk the trails up there to get some sniffs outside just our yard. My dogs are my kids so their care comes above everything else.

About: I've grown up around all different breeds and temperaments of dogs and have dog sat for both small and large pups! I'm also looking to study animal science or go the pre vet route in college! I'm currently working a part time job only a few hours a few times a week so I will have plenty of time to walk, check in on, or stop by and spend time with your pup! I care for pets making sure they feel safe and comfortable as well as communicating with owners so I know what kinds of things their dogs like to do or things to avoid

About: I’ve been great at taking care of many types of pets and holding down the fort for friends and family! As for pets, ever since I was in high school, I learned to take responsibility of the pets I owned. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats and had no problem getting them what they need, giving bathroom breaks frequently, having play time and obviously pets!! I’ve also housesat for my aunt on vacation along with my boyfriend’s family. I’ve had no complaints given to me thus far; have faith in Faith! I am currently attending the University of Nebraska Lincoln so I do have classes on the weekdays with a couple of windows inbetween; please message me specific times regarding daytime inquiries. Weekends are perfect and I can do overnight stays as well, just keep in mind as long as classes are in session I will be busy from a ballpark time of 9-5! I will be sure to take any precautions you need me to take in order to keep your pets safe. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you feel your pets are secure with me. Communication is key!

About: I’ve had multiple dogs and a cat in my life. I love animals and I enjoy taking care of them. I am also looking to expand my resume! I am a student and am just looking to get into this part time. I love animals and want to help out if I can. I love taking care of other people and their animals, me and my family have done it for many many years and we love it!

About: I love all animals, especially dogs. I previously lived in Colorado where I fostered dogs through a local program until they got adopted. The most special dog I fostered had been shot and needed round the clock care and multiple surgeries. She is is now happy and healthy in a new home in Colorado. I work from home so am able to give your pets round the clock attention and love. I can take my computer and work from anywhere and be flexible for schedules. Caring for animals is my passion, I was just never able to make a career out of it. I have my own chocolate lab named Timber. I took her in from a friend that could no longer keep her. I believe in rescuing animals in need.

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!

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 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 have had dogs all of my life and I have a 3 year old dog I adopted as a puppy and I have trained her to be well behaved at home and on walks, unless she sees a squirrel and gets excited. I have experience walking multiple difficult dogs at once and maintaining control. I’m currently working part time and am available for walking/visits between 10:30am and 4:30pm Monday-Thursday beginning on May 12th. I love taking my personal dog on walks around the city of Lincoln and would love to take yours too! I care for my pet by knowing her body language and keeping her separate from other dogs when I know she is stressed. I have always been around dogs and am able to read new animals very quickly to know what they need from me.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 15 years and have hands on experience with a few different breeds including a Yorkie, Husky, and Pit Bull. Our latest addition was our cat whom we’ve had for the past 4 years. This has given me experience with both small and large dogs, and a cat. All different energy levels, and unique personalities. I have pet sitter for my brother and close friends. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. My schedule allows me to be flexible and dependable for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop in's, walks, and sitting, including evenings and weekends, and I prioritize keeping your pet on their normal routine. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I make sure pets feel calm and secure in their environment and treat every home with respect. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I work specifically with dogs and cats! I love to train puppies. But my experience is primarily just taking care of pets however owners need me to! I have a very flexible schedule, so anytime you need me I’m there! I can do overnights, weekends, and anytime during the day. Even just drop ins I can make work. I am very accommodating. I am open to being in others homes, and will follow directions precisely. I can also watch in my own home if needed.

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!

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 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 grew up on an acreage in the country and have been surrounded by animals my entire life, from chickens to horses. I’ve always had multiple dogs and cats, and my home was often the place neighbors brought stray or abandoned animals. Many of our pets were adopted from shelters or rescued, which helped build my passion for animal care from a young age. I’ve also helped care for stray cats and participated in TNR (trap-neuter-return) efforts, so I’m very comfortable working with animals of all backgrounds and temperaments. I’m a huge animal lover and advocate, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. Currently, I work part-time at Dogger Bark Club, a dog daycare and boarding facility, and at Vintage Heights Veterinary Hospital as a kennel attendant. These roles have given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats in both everyday care and more structured environments. I’m currently in college studying Companion Animal Science with a minor in Business, and I’m passionate about building a career working with animals. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m trained in administering medications if needed. With my experience in both a veterinary setting and a daycare environment, I’m confident handling pets of all personalities and needs. I prioritize safety, follow routines closely, and always send updates and photos so you feel at ease. I treat every pet like my own and truly love what I do. I’m currently in college and keep a well-organized schedule, so I only take on bookings I can fully commit to and give your pet my full attention. My availability will also be more open during the summer. I have a flexible but organized schedule and make sure I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m available most evening weekdays and weekends typically anytime. I am still in school but with increased availability during the summer I will be more open! Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority. I take the time to follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand how important consistency is, especially for reducing stress. With my experience working in both a veterinary hospital and a dog daycare/boarding facility, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and respond appropriately. I’m comfortable administering medications if needed and handling pets of all temperaments safely. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment, whether that means properly leashing dogs, monitoring interactions, or keeping a close eye on their surroundings. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine care.
