Dog Walking in Yankee Ridge, Lincoln, NE

“Lee was amazing with our dog while we were out of town. She is typically scared of men and warmed up to him so quickly and looked forward to her daily walks with Lee while we were away:) His communication and professionalism were amazing and he also gave us the cutest card with photos of our dog he snapped during walks upon our return. Would highly recommend and will definitely re-book!! :):)”

About: Born around lots of animals, including the GSD my mom bred many going to K9 programs and I would show them when I was little. Growing up, I was part of raising & training hunting dogs (Labs) & a seizure dog (Sheltie). As an adult I've had a GSD, Pomeranians and pitbulls (potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, basic commands like sit stay come - clicker method). I also learned some about senior care helping my friend who worked at Hearts United shelter for several years. I currently don't have any dogs, but have cats. I have minimal appointments (2 hour long weekly standing & sporadic others) and errands (school drop off and pickup) so I can be available to care for your pet nearly 24/7 Caring for your dog at your home, I would follow whatever routine, usual/best practices you have for them there. At my apartment, there is a large open grassy area right behind my building and a great walking/bike path, but it is NOT fenced so I would be taking out any dog myself on a leash. If I needed to leave my apartment for an appointment/errand and could not bring your dog along, I would want to crate to ensure there's no accidents while unsupervised in a strange environment.

“Anna does an amazing job walking our boys! I never have to be worried about them and they’re always tuckered out on days they get to walk with her. I’d highly recommend her ☺️”

“I have been using Andrea and Edwin for awhile now and they are so wonderful to work with. I usually request them when I have to have my boyfriend’s dog with me for extended days, but they are still sending me pictures of my cat who wasn’t part of the request. They are efficient in communication and flexible in timing and if something comes up. Highly recommend them for your pet needs!”

About: I’m Elizabeth and this is my baby-boy Umbra, a 3yr old Australian Shepherd. I love dogs, grew up with them, and when it came to purchasing a home, thought about my future dogs first… no, seriously! We have a large, fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to run and play. Just a block away, we have a lovely wooded area for afternoon walks. Experience - My husband Nathan and I have taken Puppy, Adolescence, and Obedience 1, 2, and 3 training through Greater Lincoln Obedience Club - I was an Assistant Instructor for Obedience 1 - Volunteer dog walker at the Capital Humane Society - I've completed Grooming courses 1 and 2 through Kenl Inn - Pet First Aid course through Kenl Inn - Pet Massage course through SCC continuing education Umbra's Story Umbra is a high-energy, working breed so we got him into dog sports! He loved Agility 1, 2, and 3 until the teeter totter became too scary. We switched over to Flyball and self-taught Dock Diving. Because of his health, we’ve swapped dog sports for trick and sniff training. To keep him active and social we frequent dog parks, Offleash Dog Bar, and dog friendly stores and restaurants. He comes with us everywhere he can, and we’ve taken vacations just for him! When Umbra was a pup, we noticed abnormalities with his eating patterns and stool. For a year, we worked closely with our vet and uncovered severe food allergies, gastroenteritis, and a vitamin deficiency. Thanks to a restricted diet including daily vitamins and probiotics his tummy is doing well! When he was neutered, hip laxity was discovered that would eventually lead to arthritic symptoms. To give him a pain free life as along as possible, we added another daily supplement, started weekly water therapy, and were instructed to administer a monthly subcutaneous shot (Nathan handles the needle). It was discovering his enlarged heart that put an end to dog sports, but he still lives a fulfilling life. Services Daycare offers a standard 10-hour stay at a set rate. Any time beyond this duration will incur additional hourly charges. Please contact us for specific pricing details on extended stays. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My day is already structured to include a minimum of 3 exercise / play sessions a day for 30-60mins each. Umbra is well socialized and loves large and small dogs. He would love for your pup to visit! Your dog will receive plenty exercise and play, belly rubs, neighborhood walks, and approved outings and treats. We have toys, puzzle games, and snuffling and lick toys for them to engage with. If they need a contained break, we have crates and a playpen to block off larger spaces. You will receive lots of photos and the comfort of knowing your pet is well cared for. For dog's staying in their own home, just let me know their routine and any special needs.

“Emma was great with our dog. Was able to come walk on a last minute notice. She was very professional. She got there on time and walked our dog the exact time asked. Definitely will book again!”

About: Hi there! My name is Nathaniel and I am a passionate and responsible pet caregiver with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, both small and large. I absolutely love walking dogs and treating them as part of the family. My Experience: Having spent many years looking after dogs in my home and for others, I understand their needs and behaviors. I have a Goldendoodle who is friendly and loves to play with other dogs, making our home a welcoming environment for your furry friends. What I Offer: I can provide a range of services, including: - Dog walking in the mornings or after work during the week - Boarding on the weekends - Playtime and exercise in my secure, fenced yard - Access to a farm where dogs can run and explore My Philosophy: I believe every pet deserves love, attention, and the best care while their owners are away. My priority is always to keep them safe, happy, and healthy. I tailor my approach to fit each pet's unique personality and needs. Fun Fact: In addition to caring for pets, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my Goldendoodle, exploring new parks, and going on adventures. I’d love to take your pet on similar outings! Let’s Connect! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to talk about specifics! Pet care is central to my daily and weekly routine. I start each day with a morning walk with my Goldendoodle, which sets a positive tone. On weekdays, I dedicate time after work for walks and play sessions with dogs in my care. Weekends are focused on boarding, providing ample playtime in my fenced yard and access to a farm. Throughout the day, I ensure daily care, from feeding to grooming, making sure all pets receive the attention and love they deserve. This structured routine fulfills my passion for caring for animals. In my home and my clients' homes, I provide personalized pet care tailored to their needs. During daily walks, I focus on each dog's energy level and preferences to ensure they get the exercise they need. When pet sitting, I maintain routines, including feeding, playtime, and medication, prioritizing their comfort and security. For boarding, pets enjoy a cozy environment with a fenced yard and access to a farm for play and socialization with my Goldendoodle. I ensure daily care includes feeding, bathroom breaks, and plenty of playtime while adapting to each pet’s unique requirements. Additionally, I monitor their health closely, providing updates to owners and addressing any concerns promptly. This approach ensures pets feel loved, secure, and happy, whether at my home or theirs.

“Shawn & Melissa S are such great people! They obviously care for animals and do their best to accommodate the needs of our dog and us. Thank you so much for walking Jack on such short notice! You are the best!”

About: Experienced dog owner who would love the opportunity to watch your pets. Let me take the stress out of leaving your pet behind while you're away. Fenced in back yard and willing to play fetch or walk to your dogs content. I work full time out of my home office. I would be available to let dogs out as needed or travel to your house to walk your dog or let them out to potty and play. I have a fenced in yard and experience walking dogs. I will spend time outside with your dog to play fetch or just enjoy a shady spot in the yard to relax. Dogs don't need to be kenneled at night unless they are crate trained to do so.

About: I have owned a dog if not multiple dogs since I was 5 years old. With three current dogs from a mini dachshund to a medium sized Sheltie to a large husky I am familiar with multiple breeds, ages, and sizes. I currently own my own business so I can fit pet care into a rotating schedule that I build myself whether it is every once in a while or a regular routine for you and your pets. I have a fenced yard, am familiar with walking trails in Lincoln, and crate my current dogs if needed. While only offering dog walking no dogs will be coming into my home.

About: Animals often make more sense to me than humans do! I’ve always loved caring for pets, whether they be my own or someone else’s. I’ve done countless petsitting jobs through friends and community members over my life. In the same way as we should with humans, it is important to be present and aware when working with any animal. Each pet is unique and I truly enjoy getting the opportunity to learn about what makes each one feel safe, loved, and healthy. I also understand how important it is to establish a positive, trusting relationship as soon as possible, especially with dogs, so they can feel secure despite the disruption of their “pack”. Every pet is a precious part of someone’s family. So, as much as I love getting to know each pet and providing you with assurance your loved one is well taken care of, it’s even better to know the care I provide is ensuring a joyful reunion when you return! My full-time work is landscaping, so in the winter months I have a lot of flexibility to offer services throughout the week and during the holidays. A pet’s whole world is their home, so I treat that environment with deep respect. I am their guest as well as their sitter! Therefore, I try to match the energy they are used to. Also, I understand the importance of maintaining as much of your pets routine as possible.

“Ella is wonderful with our senior dog! We love the daily updates with her walks and love knowing she is taken care of in the afternoon while we are working”

About: Hello! My love for pets has been from the very beginning as I grew up in a household that had a minimum of three dogs at all times. Currently, I have three dogs and two cats. Two of my dogs are seniors and one is a puppy. I have definitely gained experience with my senior dogs administering medication and monitoring whereabouts when it comes to jumping, needing to be pickup, frequent bathroom breaks, etc. My puppy is full of energy so I frequently utilize mental and physical stimulation to provide her with what she needs! I have a flexible schedule which allows for different pockets of time throughout the week that I would love to spend with other furry friends! I will use patience to build trust with your pets. I will ask questions and work to ensure that my care is as similar to the care they are used to when their parent is home. I know that letting someone care for your pet is not a small ask, so I want to make sure you and your pet(s) are at ease as much as possible.

About: I have been caring for my own and others animals since I was 10 and started a dog walking business! My parents are also veterinarians and I worked in the animal hospital closely with them growing up! I have flexible scheduling to be able to care for pets the best I can. I am available for sitting and walking at different times daily. I have a lot of knowledge and experience with many different animals to be able to offer the best experience for you and your pets!

“Infinity goes above and beyond to take care of our doggo! We love all the photos and updates. She has excellent communication and truly cares about the dog she’s working with!❤️”
