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.

Dawn was amazing! This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and I was a little anxious, I was worried my dogs might not behave perfectly and I was generally nervous about someone coming and staying at my house while I was not there. Dawn is an exceptional person and when we met up for a meet and greet, I told her about my fears and she was very understanding. She helped to settle my concerns and she even came over to my home a little early to meet with my animals and to allow them to acclimate to her presence. THEN, she proceeded to send me pictures and updates on my babies while I was away. 10/10. Absolutely adore her. My babies loved her and I will be using her services in the future, if I have to go somewhere and I can’t take my animals.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young, helping neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, and playtime. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’m also reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own. I currently have a full time job, but a very flexible schedule :) I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate for morning, afternoon, and evening visits! As far as boarding at my home, this will vary pet to pet basis, no money is worth the unsafety of your pets… I will take all necessary steps to make this as easy and stress free for you and your pet(s).

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.

Almost forgot to leave a review! Kristi was great when she stayed at our house to watch Sydney for almost a week. As always, she took great care and attention while taking care of our pup and left the house in tip top shape! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Kristi is perfect!

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!!!

Grace was amazing. I have older dogs and Grace took the time to come meet them a few times before we left. I was gone for 7 days and my dogs where treated as family. And I received nightly photos. She stayed in our home. And the house was just like we left it. Would use Grace again.

About: I’ve been working at an animal hospital for almost a year. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, cats, and other exotic animals. I’ve also worked with their different sizes, ages, diets, medications, etc. I’ve got a dog and 3 cats currently. I also frequently pet sit for family and friends, often overnight or over the weekend. I love to go on neighborhood walks with my dog to make sure she gets her daily exercise in. Also playing outside and enjoying the nice weather. I’m available to let dogs go on as many potty breaks as they need! For my cats, I love playing with them and seeing all the different toys to make sure they never get bored. I’ve also done my fair share of cleaning, no matter the mess, I’ll clean it up! I am a college student with at most 3 classes a day. I can do early mornings and then evenings/afternoons. During school breaks, I’ll be available all day. There may be the occasional days where I’m busy or out of town, but more likely than not I will be free and not busy. I will most likely ask the pet’s owners what they prefer on things like going outside, for walks, and other daily routines. I will constantly be checking in on the pet and making sure they’re doing okay. If anything were to happen, I would immediately contact the owner to come up with an action plan and see what they would want to do, depending on the situation. I would make sure that the home is safe and that there is nothing that the pet could get into that would hurt them.

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: 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.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13 years old and have always had a deep love for animals. Over the years, I’ve helped rescue and care for many pups, giving them a safe, loving, and happy environment. Since high school, I’ve also provided trusted house sitting and pet care for families in my neighborhood, gaining experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and routines. I currently have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger breeds, high-energy pups, feeding schedules, long walks, playtime, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always treat every dog like family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and highly communicative, and I make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether it’s dog walking, overnight house sitting, administering basic care, or providing companionship and attention, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel loved, exercised, and stress-free in your absence. I am currently home from college for the summer and have plenty of free time during my day to take care of your pups! I am available to walk your doggo anytime during the day and want to make this process stress-free. If there is a time that your pup does better walking, I want to make that possible for you. For dog walking and pet sitting, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and comfortable experience for every pet. During walks, I make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need while also prioritizing safety and positive behavior. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including larger breeds, since I have two large dogs of my own. For pet sitting, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away by giving them plenty of companionship and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and highly attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: “Hannah is your go-to pet lover! When she’s not greeting folks at the front desk and handling insurance at Baptist Health, she’s probably planning her next adventure, or spending time with her fur babies! Hannah absolutely loves to travel and has a whole crew of four-legged friends at home. She’s got two adorable Mini Aussies who are eight years old, two playful cats that are a year and a half, and even some reptiles she’s been caring for over the past five years. Growing up on a farm means she’s no stranger to looking after all kinds of animals. If you need someone to drop by and check on your pets, she’s available for morning visits between 7 and 8 a.m., or after 5 p.m. on weekdays once she’s off work. Plus, if you give her a little heads-up, weekends can work too!” “Hannah lives in Shepherdsville and happily serves clients in Shepherdsville, Elizabethtown, Lebanon Junction, Boston, and even occasionally Bardstown. Whenever you need someone to drop by and take care of your furry (or scaly!) friends, she’s got you covered.” I have a pretty set schedule that I can work around! I work M-F 8:30-5 in Elizabethtown, I drive from Shepherdsville, so I can stop in before work or after, or both! I can accommodate any requests! I don't like for pets to stay locked in a cage like most boarding facilities do. I like them to feel as if they are at home with you, if needed to be crated while they sleep I can do that as well.

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.
