About Brynn’s Critters

Mobile pet care and training in Lincoln

Brynn's Critters is a mobile pet services company in Lincoln founded in October 2013 by Kim Kempkes and Sarah Thompson. Its providers travel to the pet's home for pet walking, pet sitting, basic obedience training and pet transport, and leave a Pet Care Report Card after visits when the owner is away.

Training

Basic obedience training covers potty training, walking on a leash, heel, sit, stay and down, and can include easier tricks like shake, roll over and crawl. Treats or toy rewards are recommended, following the owner's and pet's choice of reward. Sixty-minute sessions are suggested for individual in-home obedience or behavioral training. Kim Kempkes completed dog training certification through Animal Behavior College, fosters for Heartland German Shepherd Rescue and trains dogs regularly for Hearts United for Animals.

Pricing

Walking, sitting and training cost one dollar per minute with a $20 minimum, after a free initial meeting. Pet transport is a $3.00 base rate plus $3.00 per mile, with a $12.00 minimum.
