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’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 have taken care of pets all through high school as I loved them but my parents never let me have them. I always helped our family friends who recommended me to others and I have just grown from there. I make sure all pets are secure, happy, and well stimulated. I am on summer break and have some free time so I thought I would utilize it. I am mainly free for walks and check ins on the weekdays, but I am flexible so reach out and let’s schedule something!! I will always make sure your lovely pets are well secured and safe as I know it’s the number one priority while I am caring for them. I will leave your pets as I am instructed to, and i’ll make sure to not give you a reason to not trust me whole-heartedly.

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 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.

I can pick up dogs as well if needed I have a fenced home and 2 dogs well that are very calm and shy when meeting new people, but they eventually warm up. I have dog cages as well

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: What sets me apart from other sitters is my comprehensive approach to pet care, tailored to each pet's individual needs. I specialize in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits and manners from a young age. For senior pets, I have experience providing gentle care and accommodating their specific health needs. Whether it's energetic walks for younger dogs or a soothing presence for older pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness to create a positive experience for both pets and their owners!! I work part-time during the summer, which allows me the flexibility to provide dedicated care for your dogs, cats, and any other animals while you're on vacation. I prioritize their well-being by ensuring regular feeding, exercise, grooming, and attentive monitoring of their health. You can trust that your pets will receive compassionate and reliable care in a nurturing environment. In both my home and yours, I provide comprehensive pet care services, including dog walking and drop-in visits. For dog walking, I ensure they get the exercise they need with safe routes and plenty of interaction. During drop-in visits, I maintain feeding schedules, provide companionship, and conduct necessary cleanups. My goal is to keep your pets happy and healthy while you're away.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and I love taking care of them and making them happy! I’d be the happiest in a job I could be working with animals. That is definitely my goal in our life! I do work a full time and part time job but I would love nothing more than to spend my free time with animals of any kind :) I don’t board dogs or watch them in my home. I crate my dogs when I am not home, but they don’t need it either way. They honestly enjoy their crate, it’s their safe space

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love and experience with animals. Growing up on a farm taught me patience and responsibility, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I offer puppy training basics, gentle senior pet care, and medication support when needed. Most importantly, I provide consistent, loving attention so your pets feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part time, which leaves me plenty of flexibility. I’m available most days of the week to give animals consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping pets company, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of love, play, and attention. Walks, feedings, and cuddle time are always part of the routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets on their normal schedule—whether that means meals, walks, medications, or bedtime routines—so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space.

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 cared for and loved on many of my own and neighbor’s dogs, cats, any animal really. I’m trusted by many neighbors and close friends to care for their animals and to leave the house better than I found it. Girl Scout rule!;) Right now I’m trying to focus on finishing high school and get my diploma. I’m currently taking online classes and working as much as I can. I will also be taking summer classes at LPS to speed up my graduation process I personally would prefer a fenced front and/or backyard. It is definitely not a problem if you don’t have a fenced in yard. If you choose me as a sitter I will touch base on anything your dog can/can’t have and what they are allergic or sensitive to. Just so I’m aware as I would love to bring your fur baby treats!
