“Lacy gave my precious Cleo top tier care while I was away. She went above and beyond, exceeding my expectations and ensuring Cleo wasn’t missing any cuddles, love, or attention while I was gone. Beyond the care of Cleo, Lacey left a welcome back surprise for me that really sets her service above and beyond any others. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much for everything you did while I was away.”
“Sabine was absolutely amazing! She had previously assisted with two out of the three and was fabulous, they adore her! This time I had to leave the third one behind and he typically doesn’t love new people 😂 however Sabine definitely has a way with animals because he did amazing with her! He was a bit standoffish but warmed up quicker than I had anticipated, and when it came to leave I really had no worries! Not only is she awesome with my animals but she is an amazing person as well! I would recommend Sabine a million times!”

I am available day or night. You can trust me with your pet. Please read my reviews. Description of Skills: I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds to include walking, exercising, feeding and cleaning. I have owned dogs for the past 45 years and have experience caring for dogs from toy poodle size to large Am. Bullies. I can also help train your dog if needed in areas such as walking by your side instead of pulling. Thank you, I work for the county school system so I am home most nights and weekends. I am also available during lunch for walks and drop in visits. My residence has tons of sidewalks and grass to walk your dog. Your dog will have complete access to the house unless you or they prefer a crate.

About: I've had pets all of my life, having pets is a blessing. I have 4 cats, Astra, Echo, Nyx, and Stormi. They're my babies! So a little about me, my name is Maggie, I'm 21 years old and I love animals. One day I hope to start a few businesses including a Catfé (cat cafe), a pet store and an animal sanctuary. I also want to start an etsy shop selling homemade items and 5% of my earnings will go to animal charities. A couple of my hobbies are crocheting, learning different languages such as Japanese and sign language, guitar, sewing and video games. I volunteer at an animal rescue in Bardstown called Barktown.

I also know how to give your pets mental simulation, lick mats are amazing for both cats and dogs, unraveling toys with treats is also a great option for simulation if you don't have a lick mat.

My dogs are seniors and require a little more care.
“Haley was wonderful!! She took such great care of our dog, Sadie! It’s hard to find sitters who are patient with an anxious dog, and Haley went above and beyond. Plus, when we got home, she had left a gift bag with a new dog toy and thank you card! How sweet!!! We’re SO thankful for Haley!”

I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

Kayla M.
“Kayla is a wonderful person and absolutely loves animals. Hence why she waorks at a veterinary clinic. She has 3 dogs and 3 cats and loves them more than anything. There is no shortness of attention when it comes to animals and pets. Pretty sure her 1st though of the day and last thought of the day is "pets". She's always getting her dogs toys, taking them on walks and spoiling them with all of her love. Her entire family calls her 1st when they have a question about their own pets, heck even her friends call her 1st. Her family is a family of 12(4 kids, her fiance, and her 3 cats and 3 dogs.) Great choice for a pet sitter if you ask me. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend”
Victoria S.

Valerie P.
“I can’t recommend Valerie highly enough as a dog walker and sitter! From the very beginning, she was incredibly pleasant, reliable, and easy to communicate with. She clearly has a natural connection with dogs—our pup took to her instantly and always came back happy and well-exercised after their walks. Valerie goes above and beyond, whether it’s sending updates, being flexible with scheduling, or giving extra love and attention when needed. It’s such a comfort knowing our dog is in such caring hands. Anyone would be lucky to have Valerie looking after their furry family member. Thanks Val!”

Rick C.
“Rick is great with animals and my dogs love him. He has helped me train my two senior dogs with not begging for food at the dinner table. He cared for my dogs as if they were his own making sure they were cared for and got plenty of exercise. If you want someone who's firm but affectionate towards your pet, Rick is a great choice.”
Victoria R.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Victoria Roman and the incredible care she provides as a pet sitter. From the very first time she met my dog Mocha, it was clear that Victoria has a special gift — not just for understanding animals, but for truly connecting with them. Her calm, loving presence instantly put my pets at ease, and her genuine affection for them has made her an irreplaceable part of our lives. Victoria goes above and beyond in every way. She doesn’t just feed and walk the animals — she plays with them, talks to them, and takes the time to learn their unique personalities, quirks, and needs. Whether it's making sure my older dog gets her medication or spending extra time cuddling, Victoria gives Mocha the individual attention she deserves. What makes Victoria so special is the love she pours into everything she does — including the way she cares for her own beloved Frenchie, Ms. Gigi. The bond they share is a beautiful example of her deep compassion and commitment to animals. Seeing the joy, patience, and affection she gives her dog only reinforces how lucky any pet is to be in her care. If you’re fortunate enough to have Victoria look after your pets, you’ll understand what makes her truly one of a kind. She’s not just a pet sitter — she’s a trusted friend and a devoted animal lover through and through.”
