Caitlin was so great with our babies! She was able to get my super shy cat to eat, which is always difficult to achieve with a new person. She was very communicative and made us feel totally at ease.

About: Every week I take shelter dogs on enriching field trips, helping them burn energy, explore new places, and just be dogs. That same care and attention is what I bring to every client's pup. I hold a Dog Shelter Handling Certificate and have my RECOVER Pet CPR certification, and I've worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy wrestlers, anxious sweethearts, and everything in between. I have experience with puppies, adults and elderly dogs alike, big and small! With me, your dog gets: -Fun, enriching outings tailored to their personality -Plenty of affection and individual attention -Detailed updates with photos after every visit My goal is for every dog (and their humans!) to feel happy, safe, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work pet care into my daily routine and plan my schedule around walks and drop in visits. I prioritize reliability and consistency so pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I enjoy being active and flexible, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care in consistently during the week. I focus on making pets feel engaged through exercise, play, enrichment toys/treats, and lots of attention. I always try to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide including crating and I’ll send detailed updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I hate leaving my boys, as I’m sure most pet parents would agree. But Brandon and his wife took such good care of my babies. He reported in twice a day with pictures. They always looked happy in the pics, and were obviously well taken care of. I will definitely contact Brandon again when the need arises.

About: Not only have I worked with animals my whole life I also work with dogs specifically with a rescue organization called AdoptMeBluegrass. I help with their animal care weekly and am part of their foster program. My family and my own dogs have welcomed hundreds of others into our home and always provide excellent care. I am a local landlord and typically only go out to work at the pet adoption center for AdoptMeBluegrass. I have no set work hours. I spend my time with the dogs. I have a double fenced property on a dead end street. Dogs love the 3/4 dedicated dog yard for them to play on our 6 acres of land. We have crates and can make your pet feel right at home. I’m a treats giver so let me know if there is something they can’t have or any other dietary restrictions. I can also come to your pet for services while you are away.

Lauren & Joseph took great care of our GSD russ while we were out on vacation! Photos of every drop-in were provided and communication was excellent. They went above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog in his backyard area!! Would definitely suggest going with them if you’re looking for exceptional care and will definitely be using them in the future!!

Gabriella was phenomenal! We have 2 bully breed dogs and she reached out to come meet them beforehand and while watching them she hung out with both dogs and gave them love while we were away. Will definitely be using again!

Wonderful! Julia provided great service and peace of mind. I was put at ease with her immediately and did not worry about my cats during our week away. The daily check-ins were admired by my children (who missed their pets tremendously) and I was impressed by the care displayed during an unexpected weather event. I will book with Julia again!

About: As a graduate student and lifelong animal lover, I bring both reliability and genuine care to every pet I work with. I have experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and pets with unique personalities. I have my own 8-year-old chow-shepherd mix, so daily long walks, patience, and attentive care are already a huge part of my routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of slower pacing, medication routines, mobility awareness, and extra comfort and patience. Whether your pet loves active walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I tailor my care to their individual needs and personality. I’m dependable, observant, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and caring for my own dog every day. I currently have full availability on Wednesdays and weekends (Saturday and Sunday), and I’m also available for evening walks and drop-ins on weekdays between 7–9 PM. I genuinely enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals attention and care, so incorporating pet care into my weekly schedule is something I truly look forward to. I adapt my care to each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, giving medicine, potty breaks, check-ins, cuddle time, or simply providing calm companionship, I’m happy to do it all. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I always aim to follow the owner’s instructions closely while giving every animal plenty of attention, patience, and care.

About: If your dog thinks every walk is an Olympic event, I'm ready for the challenge. I've been walking dogs in my neighborhood for 9 years and have two dogs of my own, so I know that every dog has a different personality. From energetic pullers to squirrel chasers to dogs who get excited when they see other pups, I've learned how to stay calm, patient, and in control while making sure they have fun. I'm comfortable giving medications, providing overnight care, and adapting to each dog's unique personality and needs. At 21, I have the energy for long walks and active dogs, but also the patience and experience to handle more challenging situations safely and calmly. I treat every dog as if they were my own and work hard to make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a college student and also working full-time as an intern at a civil engineering firm, so my schedule is pretty structured during the day. The best times for me to care for pets are in the afternoons and evenings. At my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and part of the routine. I stick to their usual schedule as much as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and don’t feel stressed while I'm away. In a client’s home, I try to keep things as normal as possible for the pet. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding times, walks, meds, or special care. I always make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and enough exercise and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and keep owners updated so they know their pet is doing well!

About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m working with so I’m not rushing between visits. That means each dog gets calm, consistent attention and a much better experience overall. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.

About: I have over 18 years of hands-on experience working with animals and take pride in providing safe, knowledgeable care for every pet I work with. I’ve trained multiple dogs in behavioral rehabilitation and personal protection, which has given me strong skills in reading body language and handling a wide range of temperaments. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable monitoring pets for health concerns and administering medications if needed. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience training and handling horses, which has helped me develop patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I truly care about the animals in my care and believe every pet deserves attentive, reliable, and compassionate treatment while their owners are away. I work from home so I have all the hours to dedicate to your pets and provide the best care possible. Book with me today! I have a full fenced in farm with the ability to keep your furbaby separate from other animals or the ability to let your fur babies play with others. Crates are available as well.

Caitlin did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town! It was sudden for an out of state funeral, and she set up the meet and greet asap for us. She was incredibly thoughtful and detailed how their behavior was for us everyday. She also made sure to verify anything she wasn’t sure about via the app so she didn’t get anything wrong. She also got plenty of pictures of them each visit so we could visually see how they were feeling. Loved her and you will too!!!!
