“Stella looks forward to her stays with Andrew's family and Cosmo. I appreciate their time taking care of Stella when we can't. Peace of mind, for sure. Communication and feedback has been great! We are looking forward to our next stay!”



“Kathy kept both our (big) dogs for a little over a week. We were grateful we didn’t have to worry about them! Kathy has a dream set up for dogs, a big backyard and a walkout basement with plenty of room to play. I think they had a lot fun! I would definitely book a doggy vacay here again!”


“Jessica took fantastic care of my girl - I was able to leave knowing she was in good hands and getting all the love and care she needed! So grateful to her whole family for caring for my baby. ?”


“Our dog Remy (1.5 year Shetland Sheepdog) had an overnight stay with Sandra. She took very good care of him and we believe he enjoyed his stay and her very large fenced in back yard. Sandra sent us delightful pictures and videos of Remy while we were away and this gave us peace of mind that he was doing well. Sandra was responsive to our requests and communication was good. We are likely to board with Sandra again.”

“Eggbert had a great time! I could tell by his behavior and poop he was well cared for. I did get pictures and updates which was much appreciated. Will book again ❤️🎶”

About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was a kid. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family since I was in high school. I volunteer with a dog rescue so I have experience with dogs of all kinds from puppies to seniors. I work full-time at a wealth management company. I have plenty of time after work and on weekends to give dogs potty breaks or go for walks or car rides. If pet sitting, I prefer weekends, but would consider weekdays depending on the situation. My dogs are my world and I will take care of your pets like my own. They are allowed on furniture and in all rooms. They always have access to fresh water and can go outside to the fenced yard as needed.

About: Observing and addressing subtle changes in a dog's behavior. Providing mentally stimulating activities like playtime, puzzle feeders, and appropriate socialization opportunities. Being flexible with scheduling and accommodating special requests. Promptly responding to inquiries, addressing concerns, and building a positive relationship with clients. Creating individual routines for each dog based on their dietary needs, exercise requirements. Regularly sending updates, photos, and videos to owners to keep them informed about their dog's well-being. I've done it all! Animals are a passion of mine! I'm a mama to 2 dogs and 1 cat! Their spoiled at their core! Let me spoil your pet too! I'm currently working part time. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. But I can always put in for the days I need off for bookings. Always willing to work around. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play and run. I have two pups to keep your pup company. I have a safety fence in my house as well if your needing your pet separated from mine. Your pets safety is my upmost concern! I will keep your pet active by playing outside with them.

“Allison was easy to work with. She was flexible on pick up and drop off times. We have a single dog, that is like a second child to us, a terrier who loves to play with other dogs and she loved playing with Allison's collie in the beautifully fenced yard. She sent two pictures and updates a day and my dog looked happy. When we left LJ jumped up to get Allison to pet her. The setting is a mini farm. Dogs will not interact with livestock (chicken, ducks and sheep, etc) but get the fun of seeing them. Your dog will be outside a lot and get great exercise. However, from this experience, they will come back healthy, well-exercised and happy. I would be delighted to use Allison again”


About: I love both dogs and cats. I've been caring for dogs for most of my adult life. I have pet sitting/walking experience with small, medium, and large dogs. Over the years I have also cared for both indoor and outdoor cats. I am a fulltime remote worker. So I can watch dogs/cats in my home during the day and in the evenings. I can also check in on your fur baby in the morning between 7 & 9 am EDT and take them for a walk in the evening after 6pm EDT. Saturday mornings I am available to take your good boy/precious girl for a walk/run or to spend some chill time at the local dog park. I can walk your fur baby on my quiet street, space for their comfy bed/blanket, and can crate your dog if that's what they are used as needed. My home is pet friendly. I also have space for a litter box and bed for your feline friend. In your home/neighborhood, I can walk your goodest girl/bestest boy, monitor them while they explore their own fenced in yard. And for your purrfect kitty, I'll follow their lead to make sure they're comfortable with snuggles or space and ensure they're litter box is fresh and clean. I'll follow your instructions for food, water, and activity.

“Thank you so much for taking great care of my baby while I was away! I will definitely reach back out if I'm in need of a sitter again. It was nice not having to worry about him my entire trip. Loved the pictures and updates! Thanks again for giving him so much attention and loving!”



“Karen is absolutely amazing. She treated our precious Sophie like the princess she thinks she is. I knew that Sophie was well taken of, safe and loved when she was with Karen. I will DEFINITELY be using Karen again as a dog sitter. ?❤️?❤️?”


“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, kept both of our dogs! They were out all weekend to the lakes! Kept me updated with pics and videos and anytime I checked in on them she made sure to update me!! We will definitely be using her!”


About: I am the proud mother of 2 huskies. We are all very friendly and love to help others! We walk daily and exercise a lot! I understand what is needed to bring enrichment and love to a puppy’s day. I am a full time special needs teacher. In the summer I will be available daily to meet your pet care needs. I have 2 huskies of my own and I prioritize their enrichment and exercise daily. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly huskies ready to play with your baby. I live in a large neighborhood that is perfect for a great walk. I have a crate and a play pen set up as well.

About: I have had experience with caring for animals my whole life. I have experience training puppies and older dogs as well. I am well experienced with senior dogs! I also have experience in grooming/bathing different breeds of dog, if that is something you would be interested in. I am experienced with cats, horses, guinea pigs and a variety of reptiles. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for several cats and dogs. I have also completed veterinary science/ animal science classes to learn more about animals in general. Over time I notice that animals sense people, most animals love me and sense that I am a genuine, caring person right off the bat. I don’t have a very busy schedule. I am not employed, so I have a lot of time to care for your fur babies. I am an online student at NKU. So I do all of my school work at home! I have a large fenced in area in the back of my yard. I have large/medium/small kennels if needed for boarding. I will spend a lot of pictures too!

About: In the past 10 years I have been given the opportunity to dog sit for many friends and family. I've owned a dog for my entire life and believe in regular walks, treats, and attention. I prioritize exercise, safety, and food for an animal in my home. If a family asked me to accommodate their pet's special needs, I would abide to their wishes. Each animal is unique. Our dog is walked once a day, fed twice a day, and given regular treats and attention. She has a back yard to exercise and explore, but she is also welcome in the home. Any additional pet would be treated the same.

I mean hands! She is able to put any animal at ease and will follow your instructions to a T to make sure each furbaby gets their every need met. She is punctual, personable and professional and has never let me (or my animals) down. Every pet deserves to have a Carmelita taking excellent care of them!”

“Emily loves dogs and is very attentive to their needs as evidenced by her devotion to her 2 Husky babies. She would take great care of your pets.”


Katelyn M.
“Katelyn recently watched our two golden retrievers, one of which is a senior. It’s so hard to find someone who is willing to stay the night in your home and doesn’t give off weird vibes. Our dogs are like our babies, and it can be nerve wracking to have someone come into your home like that. We couldn’t be more happy with the job Katelyn did. We were able to leave for over a week and not be nervous about if the pups were being taken care of. She sent the best photos and made us feel at ease. We felt bad because our pups are a bit emotionally needy, but we can just tell with their demeanor towards her that they were well loved. Communication was also great from her! Never left wondering if they’re actually being watched. Our home was also cleaner when we got back from our trip than when we first left! It was so nice coming home from vacation without a ton of dog hair to vacuum up. We are recommending Katelyn to everyone, best dog sitter we’ve had.”


Grace M.
“Grace is a super conscientious lady. She has cared for my pets (Ginger and Chai) many times over the years and I trust her completely. She is a mom to two toddlers and has a sweet lab mix named Lacy. Lacy is one of the best cared for dogs I've seen, with lots of attention and back yard space to play. Grace (and husband) enjoy hiking trails throughout central and eastern KY and include Lacy with their family as often as possible. I've observed Grace taking care of other people's pets numerous times over the years and she gives them the same care and attention that she gives her own pet.”
