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 fully online college student so I can take care of your pets at any hours on 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.
“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: I’ve taken care of my own family dogs and dog and watched for friends and families. I am a college student who is trying to make some extra cash with her own one year old Dalmatian! I am available on weekends any time of day and mornings during the week day between 8-11am and then after 6pm on week days as well! I would like you to know I will care for your pet like my own. Meeting there exercise needs, keeping them safe on walks and comfortable when staying in my home
“Wr needed a dog/house sitter for a last minute trip. I didn't want just anyone, either. Ibqas so worried our dogs were just going to be let out 3-4 times a day, and not get any play time. That was not the case when I got on here and found Ashlee. She was simply amazing! She sent me pictures of our dogs multiple times a day, was always checking in with me. Our dogs usually have separation anxiety and they seemed to do just fine with her! She walked our dogs multiple times, spoiled the with treats, played with them outside for a while! We were very blessed to have found Ashlee. We liked her so much we booked her again when we went to a concert, and we have her potentially booked for our vacation in February! She is a fantastic dog/house sitter. Thanks again, Ashlee! ?”
About: I have cared for many kinds of animals over the last 30 years. I would treat them as if they were my own with love. I would like to negotiate your needs, my shifts right now, are 8am-4pm in Lawrence Kansas. Depending on services being requested, I may be able to adjust my scedule. I live with my brother and sister in law, we are a 3 dog home. Dogs are very friendly with all types of other dogs. Lots of land for dogs to run. They must be well trained to be here and or walk well on a leash, there is No fenced in areas. I love to go for walks and play. Also I will research your animal and provide appropriate cares and love.
About: I was raised on a diversified livestock farm and submerged in caring and tending to animals of all species. I have always had a true passion for animals. I have experience being a kennel/technician in a veterinary clinic. I have been exposed to a variety of breeds, of all shapes and sizes, all needing tended to in their own ways. Anything from giving lots of attention to needing to be administered a medication I have helped with it all. Originally from Missouri, I received my B.S. in Animal Sciences from Mizzou. After graduation, I moved to Nebraska to peruse a high degree and am currently wrapping up my M.S. in Ruminant Nutrition. I am new to the year, and moved here for a job post-graduation. If interested, I would love to do a meet-and-greet to meet you, your pet(s), and determine if it is a mutual best fit! I currently work full time; however, sometimes my weekdays have flexibility depending on my schedule. I live by a planner and am very organized, I have a high energy dog that does great with a routine needing lots of exercise. Typically, I try to do a combination of mental and physical stimulation/exhaustion through toys, walks, fetch, or making him focus on the tricks he knows/learning new ones. In my home, I try to best mimic their normal routine. I often take notes/ask questions prior on their typically routine, so I can try to match it. I usually prefer to do a meet-and-greet. I feel more comfortable meeting the dog in their own environment around their people rather than blinding doing a drop in a visit. I also treat all dogs more like “puppies” regardless of the age, especially in regard to the frequency of going outside. All pets have different cues, and before interacting with them I don’t want to set them up for failure/uncomfort. When at client’s homes, I try to spend as much time as I can with the pets in the home and typically block off/don’t add anymore plans to the allotted time. I know how much my pets mean to me, so I try to give them as much interaction I can. I usually always try to clean/tidy everything before leaving.
About: I’ve taken care of my pets and family and friends pets for the last 10 years. Everything from walking to feeding and bathing them. I have also been trusted yo dog sit at their house for 5+ days before. I am currently a full time student in Lincoln but still have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and keep them active by going on walks! When taking care of the pets in other homes I always make sure they are not left alone for extended periods of time and make time in my day to go hang out with them. I will keep them active and play with them but also give them plenty of loves!
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: I have more than 10 years experience working with animals/ aside from my personal life which revolves around my (4) fur babies. I formerly worked as the primary animal caretaker for Aurora Adopt A Pet. I did that for almost 2 years. most recently, I was kennel manager and daycare operations at my local boarding facility for 3 years. For as long as i can remember, my life both inside and outside of work has revolved around animals. To say it's my life, is an understatement. Frequently outside, since I have a fenced in yard (8ft). Which also ensures your pet is secure and gets plenty of exercise. I treat every animal the way I treat my own.

Sara H.
“Sara is great with animals and is super attentive and caring towards them. My dog Gypsy is a super sensitive and easily offended lab but that didn't stop Sara from friending her when we became friends in 2017. She would calmly call to her earning her trust and when my dog let her guard down they became best friends. I trust Sara with my dogs needs when I have to be out of town for a few days. She is a perfect fit to have your animal in her care!”
