About: I have had pets my whole life and have had experience caring for a diverse range of animals! In the past, I had cats, dogs, gerbils, chickens, fish, and a tortoise. I currently have cats, rabbits, and snakes, and love my babies to pieces! I would love to meet yours! Me and my husband absolutely love animals, so much so that we had our wedding at the Henry Doorly Zoo! I know how stressful being away while having pets is and I will do everything I can to alleviate that anxiety! I currently work as a full time kitchen and bath designer but would love to care for your pets in my free time on the weekends and weeknights! I would love to come and care for your pet in their safe space! I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is properly cared for and that your home remains a safe space for them!

About: I’ve taken care of all of our animals since I was little. I regularly do the cat litter, feed the dogs and cats, and play with them! I’m working part time this summer but I’m available most evenings, weekends, and some afternoons! It depends on my work schedule but evening walks would be great. I am always down to walk your furry friends! I can care for them in your home as well. I am unable to crate them here but I’m willing to travel a bit or take them to the dog park as well!

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. 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.

“Thanks so much for helping us last minute! We appreciated your good communication.”


About: My wife and I both grew up with multiple dogs in our families. My wife grew up on a farm with mostly outside cattle dogs and I grew up in the city with mostly inside dogs. When we got married we got a dog of our own. She was our baby until we had kids of our own. She was then the best big sister to our daughters the rest of her life. We have owned 2 boxers in the time that we have been married and truly loved our time with them. We have realized as our 3 girls have gotten older and super involved in activities, we no longer have time for a dog of our own. That is what has brought us to Rover. We would love the opportunity to care for other people dogs in a way that works with our crazy schedule. My wife and I are both teachers and coaches. During the school year we are very busy teaching, coaching, and running our 3 daughters to activities. During the summer our schedule slows way down. We are usually home during the the week and at the lake on the weekend. All/most of my family would be available for pet care Monday-Friday during the summer. We would be available to have dogs in our home or to drive to your home. We would not be able to do any overnights in your home, but would welcome dogs to stay over night in our home. We live in a split level house, so there is no way to avoid stairs. We have a big fenced in backyard with a play set, trampoline, and above ground pool. We live in a quite neighborhood on a side street. We have lots of houses around us with dogs and lots of dogs in the neighborhood. My wife takes long walks daily and would love to have a canine companion. My 3 girls love animals and will spoil all dogs with love and attention.

Elizabeth & Nathan S.
“I’ll be booking Elizabeth again and again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have four dogs with very different needs, and Elizabeth handled them all with care, love, and professionalism. My senior dachshund requires daily medication for back pain and arthritis, plus close monitoring for anxiety and special feeding instructions. I also have two rambunctious 5-month-old dachshund puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, so they need lots of supervision and trips outside. My cattle dog is pretty easygoing, but still part of the pack! Elizabeth took care of all of them for 8 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent me updates and photos every single day, which helped so much with my anxiety about leaving them. I felt completely at peace knowing they were in her care. It was clear from the beginning that she’s a true dog lover—she treated my pups like her own. The fact that she has experience caring for a dog with medical needs was a huge plus and gave me so much confidence that my senior dog would be in capable hands. I’m incredibly grateful for Elizabeth’s attention to detail, calm presence, and the genuine affection she showed my dogs. I already booked her again and will continue to do so anytime I need help. Highly, highly recommend!”
