“Have had absolutely wonderful experiences with Emma! She is reliable, communicative, and treats my dogs like her own. Always come home to happy pups and peace of mind, I couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend! 🐾”


“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.”


About: I have had animals my entire life! Mostly dogs that have lived well into their teens, but also cats. Most recently I had my dog Bella for over 12 years and the last 3 we traveled the country try between Seattle and Miami by car. She unfortunately passed due to cancer and not ready to own an animal, but still love having them around . I am great at playing with animals to keep them engaged and teaching commands. I also can accommodate animals to their needs if they need medicine or special assistance. I work from home for an agency based in Canada. This means that your animal wouldn’t need to be locked up all day if they stay at my house my flexible schedule also also allows me to add walks in the day and play time so your dog isn’t in a crate all day. I also have a yard big enough for throwing sticks for added fun! I do have a fenced in yard that would allow for your dog to run around. I also wouldn’t mind going to someone’s house if I needed to as well as I am mobile.

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 🩷

We can do drop offs starting at 5:30 pm on Friday Night and can watch your pet through Sunday evening until 9:00 PM. If necessary we can arrange early morning pick up on Monday morning. I can take your pet on one or more daily walks during their stay. If your pet needs additional exercise I have a large fenced yard for them to run and play. As far as skills, I am able to administer oral medications to your pet if needed. Your precious pet would receive all kinds of love and attention. I am available for boarding and drop in visits Friday after 5:00 pm and on weekends through Sunday. I can arrange for early morning pickup on Monday if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a very energetic dog who will keep your fur baby company. I also have a walking trail near by where we can go for walks.

“Jania is amazing!! She came in and loved on our kitties like they were her own! They worked to get our 2 often very shy kitties to come out of their shells! And within a few days they were playing and having fun with her and her kiddos! Family affair loving in our girls and I soooo appreciate everything they did for our kitties!! Janie did a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures! And if I had any concerns about the cats well being she put my mind at ease and helped calm my nerves!! Thank you Jania and family for loving our girls!! 🫶🏻 We will definitely ask for your help again for sure!!!”


“Jamie was very kind and took great care of my dogs. She was prompt for her meet and greet and her drop-in visit, and communicated changes effectively.”


“Alaina was fabulous! I am so so lucky we found her! Our cat needs medication, including an injection, twice daily. This can be intimidating to take on, but Alaina was so willing to learn and did great with them! Even when it took a little longer than expected she was patient, stuck to it, and persevered. I am so happy that we have her available to us going forward and have already rebooked for next month!”


“Leanne was very personable with Kronk, left detailed notes daily, saw my additional notes and made sure Kronk was in a great spot food and water wise before leaving. Kronk misses her already!”


About: I have a small pup of my own, who loves walks, many treats and cuddles. Great sitter who can care for all your dogs needs. I’m currently a part time intern so i’ll have lots of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 8. I will be able to feed and walk pups every 4-8 hours and will crate them up when needed. When boarding they will get all the love and action they need. Plus snuggles!

“I felt so safe having Kelsey care for my cats! She was incredibly considerate and communicative throughout the check-ins while I was away. 10/10 would book again 🥰”


About: Currently, I have a good girl that we rescued. She is about 4 years old, 45lbs. Previously, I cared for my senior toothless blind dog for approximately 8 years. I have also dog-sat and provided drop in care for others off and on. My experience is primarily with medium sized dogs but I'm not hesitant to care for a larger or smaller dog. I have experience giving dogs oral and ear medication. I enjoy taking dogs in my care for walks mostly around their neighborhood. I don't mind cleaning up after "accidents". I am also a Mom to 4 human kids and understand how important furry family members are to all members of your family. Thank you for your consideration. I work for LPS so I have summers off. This is my "summer side hustle". I am looking forward to this while also taking my kids to the pool. I have a large fenced yard and my own very friendly dog to keep yours company. I also have 3 kids at home to help burn off energy. I can also crate your dog, if need be.

About: My love of animals led me to start volunteering at a veterinarian‘s office giving baths and cleaning cages when I was 15. I have fostered dogs (of all ages, sizes and breeds) and cats (mostly kittens) for animal rescues. I volunteered at a large animal rescue helping with horses, goats, donkeys, and cows. I have a passion for animals! Personally, I have had Guinea pigs, chickens, cats, dogs, fish, and a horse. Currently I have a pug, a cat, and a very lazy guinea pig. I have a nice big fenced in backyard for off leash playtime and a good neighborhood/trails for longer walks. I have two children who have grown up around all manner of animals and enjoy interacting and playing with dogs and cats in particular. I work a 8-5 job Monday through Thursday. Fridays are a short day for me so I’m able to take boarders starting Thursday evenings. Friday they’d be alone for 6 hours at the longest. Saturday and Sunday they would only be left for a couple hours at the most as I am home during the weekends. I have a large fenced yard with a tall fence. My cat is acclimated to dogs and does well with other cats. My kids have always had animals in their life and know how to interact with new animals appropriately.

“We were so happy with Maddie! She took amazing care of Onyx our black lab and Nia our cat while we were away, sending daily updates with pictures and letting us know how they were doing. Onyx and Nia seemed completely relaxed and happy when we got back, which is the best indication of how well they were treated. Maddie is clearly passionate about animals and we felt completely confident leaving our furry family member in her hands. We will definitely be booking them again for our next trip!”


“Hannah was great. She was on time, played with the boys, and shared some awesome photos of the them. You could see from the photos they enjoyed the time spent with her.”


About: I've owned dogs of every kind since I was a kid! In high-school I dog/farm sat and dog walked. I also have experience with livestock and experience in the animal science field. I'm currently working 32 hours during the week, but I am open to working most hours and can work things around my flexible schedule. My job is very flexible and I am able to make schedules work! I currently have no pets living with me, but interact with mine frequently when I am back at home! When caring for any pets, I always practice patience and have experience dealing with difficult pets who need more discipline, and have experience with working with very well behaved dogs as well.

About: I have always grown up in a household with pets and see them as family members. Currently enjoying the companionship of my 2 fur babies. Throughout my time of loving animals, i have had pets with allergies, a 2 different orthopedic procedures on knees and 2 eye procedures and feel comfortable with giving medications or eye drops. When it comes to my animals, I value the importance of them having the ability to be cared for when I am away and look forward to providing that to other familys. I am available most friday afternoons and weekends for drop ins and walks in the lincoln area. Could consider evenings on additional days upon request. Currently my animals are free roam, but I do have experiance with crate training. My animals enjoy daily walks, mind stimulating activities and practicing of their learned tricks, and lots of love.

“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: I've had dogs my whole life and have helped train them with basic commands. I own a 8 year old German Shepherd so I understand high energy dogs well. I am a substitute teacher so I can control my schedule. That also means I have the summer off so I can take on more clients during that time. Helping pets keep their regular schedule when you may be gone is what I'll strive for. Chagne can be stressfull for all and I'll do my best to eliminate any stress and make sure pets are played with and loved on and pet parents are informed of how their pet is doing. I have a fenced in back yard and one German Shepherd who is outside most of the day and sleeps inside. I have 3 indoor cats as well.

About: I have taken care of animals since i was a little kid. I grew up on a farm so have been around animals my whole life. Now as I have gotten older, I am a certified dog mom :) I currently have 2 labs of my own, Johnny and June. We love being outside and running off energy. This could include playing in the big fenced in back yard, going to the dog park or even swimming out at the lake. Since I have no children of my own, my dogs are my children and are treated as such. They pretty much rule the house and what they want usually goes. They have more toys than they know what to do with and know by just giving me the puppy eyes they can get a treat. They love having their furry friends come over to play or to spend the night. I do have experience in caring for dogs from puppies all the way up to senior age. My last lab was 13 years old when he passed away last summer and needed a lot of extra care and patience to ensure that he was comfortable. I currently do work full-time but have a pretty flexible schedule. I am able to work from home at least 1 day a week and those days I am not at home, I am able to come home to give potty breaks and to run off some energy. While I am at work my dogs are in their kennels with lots of toys and their special blankets. They are both puppies still so free roam hasnt happened quite yet, despite our attempts. Too many things to get into and chew on while mom is gone :) On the weekends, 9 times out of 10 they are spent just being at home and spending time with the dogs. If it is nice we may go on little adventures but there is very little kennel time. I am looking to provide care for pets in my home. I have a very large fenced-in backyard that my two enjoy playing in. When I am home, most of their time is spent outside. I do have a bunch of toys for them to play with and also a baby pool to swim in when it is hot. When I am gone I do kennel my dogs and would prefer to be able to kennel visitors as well.
