About: I grew up with pets but once I moved to college in 2016 I started pet sitting often as a side gig and now I pet sit and house sit almost every other weekend for my friends who go out of town. —I’ve sat up to 3 dogs before -from pop ins to 10 day long house/pet sittings -from rescued dogs to puppies -pet sat cats too I work for a ministry on UK’s campus so I have flexible hours. I do not have any set days or times but am willing to pick up help when needed with enough notice! I do whatever is most comfortable for the owners! I crate when needed or snuggle them when they need it! I’m ready to take them on walks or let them run around outside!
About: I have taken care of my own current dog, Mack, since I was 12. I've had several other family dogs in the past that I have helped raise and train as well, I've taken care of other people's animals before, and I have always truly loved all animals. ❤️ I love to walk dogs, or cats! I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet at any point this summer! I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby. I love him so much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me happy, and so I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too.

About: I grew up with, and have spent my entire life with various pets and livestock, worked on horse farms, and provided house sitting services for individuals with multiple dogs, cats, and fish tanks. I also have experience farm sitting and providing care for horses. I currently work part time on a flexible schedule. With advance notice, I can easily work you into my calendar so that I'll be able to spend quality time with your pets, getting to know them and tending to their needs. I like to learn about pets' personalities and favorite activities and enjoy engaging in play to keep them entertained while their family is away. The life of a pet requires more than simply feeding, although I do respect those individual animals who prefer to be more solitary and quiet. I don't offer pet care or boarding on my property—I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 horses at home that my husband and I care for.
