“We were so blessed to have found Rick on this site. Our girls are our fur babies and are treated like children not just a dog. Rick became their new daddy for over a week. They were allowed to roam and sit where they wanted. Snuggled up with him on the couch or in the bed. Seemed so comfortable and calm when we returned. Was sent photos while we were gone putting us at ease. Highly recommend.”

“So grateful for quality care and attention for our animals while we were away. The pics showed what a great time they were having with Julie. Will definitely use her services again.”

About: Hi there! I’m Kelsey, a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for providing thoughtful, reliable care. I share my home with Georgia, my 6-year-old chocolate lab, who’s as smart as she is gentle. I’ve personally trained her to master a variety of tricks and social behaviors, and she’s living proof of how consistency, patience, and love create a happy, well-balanced pet. Our daily walks and routines have given me a deep understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, fulfilled, and cared for. When looking after your pets, I treat them with the same affection and attention I give Georgia, ensuring they’re comfortable, content, and surrounded by kindness while you’re away. I currently work full time helping run our family business. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work from home and care for your pets on an hourly basis! I have a half fenced in back yard for dogs to play. I take them on daily walks and follow any and all feed, supplements schedules as requested. Each dog will be walked on leash for their safety and the safety of others.
“Savannah did a great job with our older dog and two cats. Our dog has specific feeding needs and medications, and everything was done perfectly. The animals were unstressed when we returned, and our house was immaculate. We will definitely use her again.”

“Leanna was amazing with our babies! She was a wonderful communicator, very responsible, and respectful of our home. Our dogs mean the world to us and being able to go on vacation and relax and not have to worry about them is priceless! Will definitely be hiring her again”

“Miranda did a great job with our house sitting. She is a responsive communicator, great at giving updates and following instructions as needed to keep things in order while we had to be away, and has competitive rates. There’s a good chance we will add her to our standing rotation of sitting help!”
About: Ive taken car of, raised, and trained dogs my entire life. Ive always had a knack for it, and i love it. I’ve administered and given more medications than i can count. Ive dealt with dogs in heat, dogs after surgery. You name it, I've learned my way through it. Let me take care of and love on your babies. And of COURSE they can sleep with me 🫶🏼 I work from home and can maximize time with your baby! I can do any weekend you may need, for check ins, walks, or consistent care. Nightly care is optional through the week, as are walks and check ins. I have a no fence yard. I would be walking them when they need to go potty. If you prefer crates, please bring one. Dogs are allowed to roam free in the home all day, and allowed on furniture.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals all my life. I have vet tech experience, and dog training experience. Animals are a huge passion of mine. Sometimes I like them more than people 😉 I have a completely open schedule. I do work for myself so I can always work around yours and my schedule to give your furry family members the care and attention they deserve. I know how to read the body language of animals. I know how to give medication. I can do anything for your pet that you normally do.
“Taylor was so incredibly wonderful!!! She took such great and attentive care with our two pups that we felt at ease while we were away (That can be very hard to do when you have to leave your fur babies behind!). We received consistent updates and plenty of funny pictures/videos to get us through our puppy withdraws, and that made all of the difference to us. Our home was left tidy, and I’d say probably even better than how we left it! We would 1000% book her again for any of our puppy needs. She’s one of a kind! :)”

About: I am a dog mom of 2, my dogs names are: Beauty, and Skyla. I live on almost an acre, so your pup has plenty of room to play. I have two children who love to spoil and play with dogs so they will get plenty of attention, exercise and love. I am flexible with sitting, boarding and anything else you may need, my son is 16 and helps me with any dog that I care for. I live in a nice quiet neighborhood, so I can walk your dog on their leash as well. I treat my pups like they are my kids, they are spoiled, but they are great with other dogs. I will provide pictures/videos daily so you can see your family member and feel at easy while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. As I do work three jobs. My kids help take care of our own family pets as well as other people's. I ensure any pup I sit has their own water bowl and food bowl. Like I would my own pups. If you notice I don't say dog or animal. My two pups, I call my girls or my pups. They are my kids too and any dog I board, I treat like I would want someone to treat my girls.
“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”
“Kaitlin did a wonderful job for my brother and my dogs. Sending pictures and videos! Stayed at the house and played with the dogs. Will be using her services again. Thank you!”

I accept bookings in both areas depending on my schedule - message me today to check availability! My calendar is ready to add you to it!

As a Christian woman that's a former missionary, I value safety, trust, and a nurturing environment for all pets.

“We couldn’t be happier with Kaitlyn! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she truly cares about animals and treats them like family. Shadow and Meeka immediately felt comfortable — which says a lot, because Meeka can be shy with new people. Throughout our trip Kaitlyn sent regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our senior dogs were getting attention, walks, and love just like if we were home. When we returned, they were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. We’ve used other sitters in the past, but no one compares to Kaitlyn! Reliable, communicative, and genuinely compassionate — everything you could ask for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely and we’ve already booked with her again!”
“Marisa stayed at our house taking care of our dogs and chickens while my wife and I vacationed. She has an incredible love of animals we could see in her stories of her pets and she quickly bonded with all our furry and feathered friends. She took very good care of all of them and the house while we were away and was an excellent communicator keeping us posted on the day-to-day and how well they were doing. Highly recommended!!!”

About: I have been animal sitting, walking, and boarding for five years. I have experience with all ages, medical needs, reactivity, grooming, shy/nervous animals, and can give medications. I have been fostering for Kentucky humane society since 2020 and have had a very wide range of different personalities and needs in my home. I also have experience with livestock including horses, small caged animals, and reptiles. I work at a dog boarding, training, and grooming facility. I work 5 days a week starting at 8am and get off anywhere between 2pm and no later than 4:30pm. I live in a spacious house where all dogs are leashed. We have parks all around for pups to get out and run on leash. I have the capability of keeping your animals separate from mine if need be. For pups staying with me they can be kenneled, put in a separate room, or left to roam while I am not at home. My personal dogs get 2-3 walks a day around the neighborhood and outings to nature parks when the weather permits it. When I am not home I have a camera watching over my dogs so I can keep an eye on them.

“Haley was great!! She kept us updated often and sent pics of our fur babies. Our diabetic little girl received her insulin dosages and was healthy and happy when we returned home. Our big shy boy has not been left alone since he came to live with us, but Haley knew how to let him come to her by sitting in the floor and waiting for him to come to her on his terms. We are very happy with the care in our absence, and would use Haley again when needed. 🐾”

About: I have trained a couple of pitbulls and I have cared for many senior dogs. I know the basics of training but I'm sure I can learn the more experienced ones. I love taking care of dogs. I would love to become a trainer one day, and I would love to start small by taking care of dogs. I care for my dogs the best I possibly can. They are extremely well cared for. My dogs are seniors and require a little more care.
