Hi! I’m the owner of Pretty Paws, a small pet-care business serving families in Omaha, Nebraska! 🐾💗
I’ve grown up around dogs of different sizes and breeds, including American Bullies, English Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs. I also have a French Bulldog of my own! Being around dogs has helped me appreciate how every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine.
I offer dog walking, pet sitting, feeding, home visits, and playtime. I strive to provide patient, thoughtful care while following each owner’s instructions and helping their pets feel comfortable and safe.
💗 Important Pricing Information: My Pretty Paws services have their own specific package prices, which are different from Kidsit’s displayed hourly rates. My prices depend on the particular service and duration you choose. For example, my Pretty Paw Stay packages have their own set prices rather than being automatically calculated using Kidsit’s hourly rate. If you’re interested in booking a service, please message me directly to confirm the exact price for your requested package before booking. I can also send you my Pretty Paws information form so you can provide details about your pet’s routine, needs, and care preferences.
I’m responsible, caring, and excited to help local pet owners with their pets’ everyday needs. I believe good pet care means paying attention to the little things, communicating clearly, and treating every animal with kindness.
Thank you for considering Pretty Paws! 🐶💕

I’m the owner of Pretty Paws, a small pet-care business serving local families in Omaha, Nebraska. I’ve grown up around dogs of different sizes and breeds, including American Bullies, English Bulldogs, and French Bulldogs, and I currently have a French Bulldog of my own.
I’m comfortable around pets and enjoy helping animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My experience includes being around dogs with different personalities and learning about their everyday needs and routines. I value patience, responsibility, and following each owner’s care instructions.
I’m continuing to build my pet-care experience through Pretty Paws, offering services such as dog walking, pet visits, feeding, and playtime. I’m committed to communicating clearly with pet owners and providing thoughtful care tailored to each pet.
I’m also a high school student and am continuing my education while developing my skills and experience in pet care.
Hi I’m Rebecca, I’m 18 years old. The key thing you need to know is that I love kids, I have a passion for teaching, but having fun along the way. I have experience with all ages. At my church, I serve regularly in our nursery and with pre-k and kindergartners! I have had multiple babysitting jobs ranging from 18 months to 11 years old within the last year. Once a month, I watch eight kids ranging from 8 months to 6 years old. I know how to handle the chaos that little children can bring, and I am not afraid of cleaning up messes because messes are a part of life and learning. I have a basic first aid certificate and a car. I am always more than willing to bring fun activities to do so they are not sitting in front of a screen for hours. I know how to cook, so making a meal is something I am always willing to do. I live by the philosophy that you always leave a place better than when you first entered. If you have questions, you are always free to ask me.
Hi thank you so much for considering me as a caregiver for your loved ones ! Big or small. Fingers or paws .
Energetic and compassionate childcare provider with CPR and First Aid certification, offering a caring and fun-loving approach to babysitting. Experienced as a medication aide, I provide peace of mind to parents while giving their kids a safe, engaging, and playful experience. Whether it's playing games, doing light housework, or preparing meals, I am dedicated to supporting families by giving parents the break they deserve. Passionate about animals and creating memorable experiences for children, I love making every moment enjoyable and meaningful.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Bellevue for work.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker
Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.
1. Check experience
Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.
2. Verify credentials
Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.
3. Request references

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.
5. Discuss routines
Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.
6. Ask about group walks
Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.
7. Check reliability
Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.
8. Look for communication
Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.
