Why Choose Us
With over 14 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I strive to give all animals the most attention and best quality of life they deserve. I am eager to be around energetic animals or wind down with those who just need a bit of company. Whether you need a reliable house sitter, drop-in visit, dog walker, or information on my favorite nutritional products, I will provide you with the highest level of trust you could expect from your closest friend or family member. I will perform any service you need.
Serving the far-south Lincoln area and owners who expect exceptional care of their animals. For house sitting requests, I am happy to stop by 3 (maybe 4) times a day if necessary for 20 to 30 minutes per visit. Longer visits, further distances, and special requests may require additional fees. Overnight stays are not a service I typically provide.
What You Can Expect
As a Certified Personal Trainer, I absolutely love exercising and being outside. I will be thrilled to have your dog(s) join me for a walk on any type of day, rain or shine. I have experience with some of the biggest, strongest dogs, and am up for any challenge. I always carry pepper spray on our walks. I have attended a few dog training classes as well.
For house sitting and drop-in visits, I will arrive first thing in the morning and last thing at night around your preferred times along with 1 drop-in visit (maybe 2) during the day to make sure everything is cared for and safe. These visits are around 20 to 30 minutes long. Your animal(s) will be fed, taken out, and walked on their regularly planned schedule to keep their routine functioning seamlessly for when you return home. Your dog(s) will never be left outside unattended.
I will take notice of your animal's actions especially after physical activity, feeding or hydrating them if necessary. Treats will not be given without permission. I have administered oral and injected medications, and will feel more comfortable after being shown how to administer them to your animal(s).
You will receive amazing pictures of your animal(s) and updates after every visit while you are away, and I will do my best to make them feel like you never left. I am happy to water your plants, collect mail, packages, or take care of any other tasks around the house that may need done.
Availability
I have part-time availability, flexible hours, and openings on weekends to fit your every need into my schedule. I am up for the challenge of meeting your requests, day or night. I respect my clients' homes like I do my own. While we can not guarantee our animals will never have an accident, I am there to make sure they continue to have a clean, safe, and loving environment. Your animal(s) will be stimulated with their favorite activities, toys, and at the very least remain happy with my company. If permitted, your dog(s) will be walked on different routes each time to keep experiences fresh and enjoyable. If you have any special requests, please let me know.

Lee was absolutely fantastic with our 3 dogs. He was like family to us and our dogs! 5 stars is not enough for the care and quality he gives!
-Harrison
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lee is the BEST rover anyone could ask for! He communicated at every visit he even stayed to talk to the bird when I told him to leave early! My daughter said I could be best friends with this guy as he shares her love of animals. Absolutely 1000% recommend using Lee!
-Lori
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our experience using Rover for the first time and trusting Lee with our two goldendoodles was absolutely perfect! Lee dropped in 3x a day for bathroom breaks, once a day walk, and just general socialization while we were out of town. Lee kept us so well informed of their check in status that we never once had any concerns or issues. The daily photos Lee sent showed the sheer happiness in their eyes which put us at ease. Lee was very cognizant of their eating habits and paid attention when it took one of our dogs a bit longer to adjust to our absence. Lee was at our house like clockwork and we never had to worry about our pups being taken care of when they needed it. He left us a kind note and some printed pictures from their time together which was just the icing on the cake of an already excellent experience. If I could rate this experience as higher than 5 stars I would do it in a heartbeat!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!! :):)
-Kendelle
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lee did a wonderful job taking care of our boys, Ghost and Shadow! Shadow can be particularly territorial and does not like new people, especially men. Lee took the time to get to know him, and won him over quickly. By the end of our vacation, they were all lifelong friends! I am so happy with how well he took care of our little rascals! We will definitely have him watch our boys again! Thanks, Lee!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lee did an excellent job from the meet & greet all the way through caring for my 3 dogs for an overnight booking. He was on time. Importantly, he listened carefully to all of the instructions and had a long list of questions for me as well, then repeated what I requested of him. He stayed in close communication with me the entire time giving me his schedule and updating me as the day progressed. One of my dogs is blind and diabetic. He gave me updates when the insulin was given and that it was successful. He sent many pictures that looked like a professional took them. I came home to my house better than I left it. My fur babies were calm and comfortable. I could tell they had an excellent experience too! Lee was kind enough to leave me a hand written thank you note with a stack of printed pictures of my dogs. Overall, if I could give him more than a five-star rating, I would. He far surpassed my expectations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a fabulous experience! Lee was very attentive from our first communication to leaving a sweet picture of Millie when he was done. Upon arriving home I found my dog was in great spirits, my flowers were watered and the mail was on the counter. Simply one of the best Rover experiences I’ve had. Millie has requested we invite Lee to come again. I definitely will.

Lee went above and beyond in caring for our cats while we were away overseas. He sent us regular updates about every drop in visit, with lots of pictures which gave us peace of mind. He is very professional and kind. I would definitely consider his service in the future, and my cats agree 100%. :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lee is fantastic for house sits, highly recommended! He took great care of our menagerie of cats, dogs, birds, fish, and a spider, and he handled the complexity of managing a number of elderly pet health needs and medications without any hesitation. He also was totally fine with it when our flights home were disrupted and the pets needed a little more care. Reliable, responsible, thoughtful—and a good pet photographer, which is always a plus when you leave your pets behind and miss them!!
-Lynne
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lee was so great! He followed all the instructions I had for Benji, gave much needed updates, and even some printed photos and a card after Benji’s stay!

Lee was great with my dog over the weekend! We have tried normal boarding for him and he hated it, but absolutely loved hanging out with Lee!! he sends several pictures through the time he is watching your pet, and the picture he needs are phenomenal!! I will definitely be asking him to watch my dog next time I go out of town!
-Andrea
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lee took care of my cat for three days and he was excellent! He came over twice a day and fed my cat while I was on vacation. My cat is typically shy around new people but warmed up quickly to Lee's friendly personality. I asked if he could stay additional time to play with my cat as well and Lee was happy to! I even received photos and videos of them playing which made my day! I will definitely be asking him again to pet sit and would recommend his services!
-Caroline
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I fully recommend Lee as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. He has taken care of my two cats, who are a bit of a handful, multiple times while I was able to enjoy some nice vacations. Lee has seamlessly taken care of my cats and multiple other animals all at the same time. I will definitely have Lee continue taking care of my animals in the future.
-Kyle
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lee looked after my little 13 year old dog for 6 weeks while I was in New Zealand. He took exceptional care of her and also was happy to take her to her weekly veterinary appointments where she was receiving acupuncture and fluids for a health challenge. I received many updates and pictures and was wonderful for me knowing she was in the best of hands. I highly recommend Lee and he has a great heart and compassion for the animals.
-Miree
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lee did an outstanding job caring for my 2 cats while I was away on a vacation. They received so much love and attention. It was easy to relax on my vacation knowing my cats were in such good hands. Lee is passionate about animals and I highly recommend him.
