“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Sara stayed at our home and took amazing care of our two dogs and cat while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and consistent—she sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved having her around. She also left our home spotless, which we really appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals, and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Rhonda is such a wonderful lady and our FurBabies fell in love with her almost immediately. She house sat, with our English Bulldogs, while we were out of the country. We never worried about a thing while we were gone. She sent us timely update and photos, which was so helpful for peace of mind with our senior Bulldog. She was very attentive to our requests and carried out the special care for our senior with no problems at all. We highly recommend her and look forward to having her sit with our FurBabies again soon.”
“Laurie is great! We always contact her when we need help with our furry babies! She always sent updates to us and is great with them! She’s been watching them for a little while . I highly recommend her!”

About: I've owned and cared for small to large cats/dogs for 7+ years, doing the necessary research to provide them with the best care I can offer to maximize their environment! If things turn out well, I dream of opening a doggy daycare one day! I also service Scottsville, KY!!! I currently work part-time, so I have time to care for your babies! I'm mostly available after 4 pm on weekdays, but can provide 30-minute drop-in visits before 9 AM and during lunch hours. Weekends are open unless I have plans, which I will keep updated as best as I can! Wednesdays and Sundays are my most limited days. I live in an apartment with an open yard for my dog to use while leashed. I feed her 2-3 times a day, depending on her mood - she's not an overcomsumer, so some days she just isn't hungry until evening! It's her preferences unless I notice a concern :) Caring for other animals in my home won't be a service I offer, because my pup has attachment/anxiety issues and I wouldn't want to create an unhealthy environment for her or yours!
About: I have over 18 years of personal experience and am so happy to have made a career helping dogs and owners. I am home full time and have the help of my kids, as well as our two dogs. We ❤️ dog psychology and behavior. We provide supervision, exercise and play. Your dog will be interacting with our “pack” of friendly dogs and family. Manners and house training will be enforced in a positive atmosphere. We have a fenced in 1/4 acre yard and a 500 sqft indoor play area. We have indoor fencing and gates to separate dogs if needed. We offer meet & greets, as well as curb side drop off and pickup. You don’t even have to get out of your car if you prefer! We are conveniently located, approximately 10 minutes from I-65 and the Scottsville rd exit (Exit 22), with lots of space to be a dog!
“Graceanne was great! She was able to come meet our dogs and me on short notice and stay with them several nights. She was communicative throughout the stay and she took great care of our dogs and our home. We would definitely book again.”
“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”

She was careful to inquire about and follow our instructions and kept us updated while she was caring for our dogs. I would highly recommend her!”
Sara S.
“If you're looking for someone to care for your dog, there is no better option than Sara! On top of being a dog-lover through and through, she is absolutely fantastic at incorporating training into her caretaking time. She has studied hours of dog training courses, as well as put it into practice in real life. Sara is adamant about providing appropriate amounts of exercise and entertainment, allowing the dog to freely choose the activity and supplying the toys/tools/physical energy required to support them as they play. In addition to these dog-specific attributes, Sara is a very attentive and observant person in general. Whether in the car, walking on the street, or running around inside the house, Sara will be paying close attention to the dog and will quickly step in as soon as any problem arises. Loving, intelligent, and adept, Sara will calm the fears of anyone hesitant to leave their dog to a stranger--you can rest easily knowing that she will provide the absolute best care while you're away!”

Megan B.
“Megan took care of my dog as if he were her own. From the moment they met, there was an instant connection my dog absolutely adores her. Megan went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well exercised. She sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from his wagging tail and relaxed demeanor that he felt safe and loved with her. When I returned, my dog was calm, healthy, and clearly had a great time. He even seemed a little disappointed to leave her care he kept running back to the door hoping she’d come in! That’s how I know he truly bonded with Megan. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and incredibly kind to watch over your furry friend, Megan is the one”
