“I’m so glad we found Kalob. He is probably the best sitter we have ever had. His love for animals is genuine and all our pups loved him and took to him instantly. The updates and photos were amazing. I would welcome any chance to have Kalob take care of our babies in the future.”


“Marcy went way over and beyond our expectations when we gave her the wrong house key. She made sure our cats and our home were secure and safe. We definitely recommend her care. Thanks again!”


“Kayla was amazing at taking care of our two cats! She sent lots of photos. When we got back home our two cats didn’t seem to be too angry we were gone, which goes to show how much love Kayla was able to give them during her visits.”


About: I have experience with deaf, senior and reactive dogs as well as cats. I fostered and trained for Blue River Pet Rescue and have taken dog safety courses with Nebraska Humane Society. I know what it's like to have a scared or sick dog and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them when you can't. I am no stranger to a special needs dog and I want to be that person for you and your pet when you need me. My own dog, who passed in April 2025, had CHF and I could barely stand to let him out of my sight. I was lucky that the people who fostered him offered to watch him when needed. Without them, I'm not sure how I would've found someone I could really trust to be patient and kind to him. Now that he's gone, I want to be able to be that person for others. I work completely remote, so I am always home, giving me a great opportunity to care for special needs animals or just animals in general. I work Mon-Fri, 12-8 and weekends are usually free. I live close to a dog park that I took my previous foster to every day and have a nice neighborhood for walks. I have a yard (not fully fenced in) with a tie out leash, though I go outside often and would never leave your pet alone. I got the tie out recently for my foster to help her with separation anxiety but would walk around the yard and area with my own dog for a few minutes every hour or so. I have lots of toys and keep a pet water fountain running at all times. I keep a couple of dog beds throughout the house, so there is always somewhere soft and comfortable to lay down, whether they want to stay close by or would prefer some space. My house is their house while they're here. Besides the trash cans, they are welcome to explore.

“I am so grateful for Kelsey. After surgery, I needed help taking care of my two cats. Kelsey cleaned up the litter pans. She took care to introduce herself to Gina and Sally, and they liked her. She was always on time. She even stopped by the grocery store on her way over to get some bananas for me. I will definitely call on Kelsey the next time I need loving kitty care!”


About: As cliche as it sounds, taking care of pets isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. Since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds – from snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, and dogs of all sizes, to fish and cats, including elderly pets.🐶🐍🐰🐢🐱 I’ve been there for potty training, administering medication, grooming, scheduled feedings, and maintaining teeth hygiene. To me, animals are pure and down-to-earth, and deserve the same respect ❤️ I don’t do this just for the money – I do it because I genuinely care about animals. I’ve heard too many sad stories about boarding pets somewhere, not getting the care they deserve, and the excessive costs involved, and I want to change that. This home is as much theirs as it is mine. I offer a six-foot fully gated yard, big enough for several animals to bask in the sun or play with toys.🌤️ I have several dog beds (and furniture) with enough space to care for your babies. Even the smaller critters or pets that aren’t cats and dogs! I recently used Rover myself and was initially skeptical, worried, and just overall leery about the situation. 😅But it turned out to be a wonderful experience, and now I want others to have the same peace of mind and enjoyment. I want pet owners to feel confident that their animals are in good hands so they can truly relax and enjoy their own vacation, knowing their pets are having a great time too.☺️ And if I could, I’d give myself five out of five stars, rated highly by Forbes ⭐️for providing top notch safety and security to help ease your pet’s separation from you while you’re away. Don’t hesitate to text me on any questions, concerns, or just to chat about your pets. It’s a big decision to make who you can trust your animals with, and I am happy to help 🫶 The question is how do I fit pet care into my routine- but I don’t “fit it” into my routine. I follow my animals routine, and what they need to be their best self. I am make it a priority on managing potty breaks, feedings, treats, and everything in between. It especially helps that I am home most of my days, and wouldn’t mind more company ☺️ It’s not that I just want to “provide care.” I feel like anyone could do that, but it’s more of bonding with that animal. It’s learning their needs, routine, and having patience with them. My goal is for them to not view me as a complete stranger, and more as a good friend to have 💕With that being said- I would love to take your dog on a walk, feed them, grooming, playing, and giving all the love they deserve! If there is good communication and understanding, I would be happy to help with proper medication or medical needs as well 🩷

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!

“Ashley is lovely! She is punctual, respectful, friendly, & absolutely loves our pup! She has done everything we’ve asked of her and is very helpful. Highly recommend her 😊”


“Mikaela had stepped in and helped me with letting my two dogs out when I lost my regular person. We had a meet and greet at the dog park before the service began and another one at the house. She is very responsible and reliable, plus the pups love her.”


About: Hello, my name is Tracy and I'm a total dog person! Although I can't have a furry friend at home due to my living situation, I volunteer as a dog walker at the local capital humane society here in town. I've had the pleasure of working with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to massive Great Danes! There's nothing better than seeing their tails wag and spoiling them with pets and treats. My dream is to own a large piece of land where I can provide a forever home for senior and handicapped animals. Until then, I'll continue to volunteer and do my part to help these amazing companions! I currently work full time and have a part time job on top of that i also volunteer 1 day a week at the capital humane society as a dog walker! i enjoy taking walks around the park and or neighborhood, after our long walk then we would go to the dog park and meet all our other furry friends!

“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!!”


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

About: Since a little girl, I’ve loved every animal. All breeds and all sizes. I’ve lived with dogs my entire life because who can live without, right?! I grew up around 3 eskimos, a samoyed, a poodle, a jack russell terrier, 6 hamsters, and 4 cats! Now I currently have two lovely girls. A 3 year old husky mix and an american eskimo. Myself and my family cared for our sweet 8 pound american eskimo until he passed at 13, he joined our family at months old as “a project, not a pet”, and he sure trooped it out despite the many struggles he came with as a puppy mill rescue I work on the weekends at my part-time job. Aside from weekends, I am available all weekdays except for occasional appointments between 11am and 3pm! I have two very sweet girls 25lbs and 60lbs who have had lots of encounters with smaller dogs and are very gentle. I make sure meals are fed on time and exercise is always included!!

About: Since I can remember, i’ve always done the favor for my neighbors/family members to take care of their pets while they are away on vacation or any last minute sitting. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that be going on walks, giving them cuddles, playing out doors or even giving them a bath ! If you have specific instructions for me to follow, such as set feeding or potty time I will be punctual with those. I am no excited to meet your pet and spend time with them :) I am currently working a part-time job in the afternoon to later evening. I am free anytime in the morning and anytime after 7:30 pm. I am a college student and currently am on summer break, when school picks back up in the fall I will be available anytime on the weekend. I will make sure that your pet is comfortable around me and comfortable with me petting them! In your home I will first speak with owner and figure out pets routine and their favorite spots around the house and which areas are off limits, I will get familiar with the home as well. I don’t plan on having any pets over as I do live in a small apartment but if that be the case at any time, I will speak with owner and make sure I have all the essentials for their pet to have a welcoming and comfortable stay.

About: I have pet/house-sat since I was in middle school and love getting to provide extra care and love to pets when their owners are not home. I have experience giving medicine and pills to both cats and dogs and would love the opportunity to care for you animals. I am grad student completing my doctorate of audiology at UNL. My mornings, nights, and weekends are open and I have availability during the day for potty breaks. I will treat your home with the respect it deserves and leave it how I found it, if not better. I will always be available with questions or just to let you know how your pet is doing. I am excited to love and care for your animals in the environment they are most comfortable in.
