“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”
“Addelynn has been great with our new pup. We are gone most of the day for work and she comes on the days when we wont be home until late. She is responsive, walks him 20 minutes and sends pictures as well as how he did and if he went potty. Would recommend! Thanks!”
“Jeff did a great job walking our dog and provided ample updates—He also gave our cat some treats and provided a picture update of her as well! We will use Jeff again”
About: I have had a dog from the time I was 12 until I was 22! I know how to take care of all ages, from puppies to our beloved senior doggies. I’m in search for my new study buddy to keep me company while I do my flash cards! I am currently in medical school, and my class schedule is predictable but flexible. With a low amount of required activities, I am available to spend more time with your babies! I usually study from home, which means we can both keep each-other company :) I have experience in dog sitting and house sitting. I will be more than happy to spend as much time as possible in your home so that your pets stay on as normal of a routine as possible. I care for pets like I care for my patients- with love, responsibility, and devotion!
“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”
About: I have been pet sitting for several years now as a side gig. I have two dogs and three cats of my own. I enjoy taking care of animals and giving some of the love they give us back :) I just graduated from the University of Kentucky, and completed a post grad internship. I am currently babysitting and doing part time work, looking to pet sit mostly weekdays (Mon-Thurs) but open to weekends as well. That is when I have the most downtime, and would love to spend it with animals. I am happy to go to someone’s home and give their pet attention and love when they may not be able to. I am also a pretty energetic person and like to go on runs and walks, which I would love to have a furry buddy to join me!
“Tiffany is wonderful to work with -- communicative, prompt, reliable. I know Stevie really enjoys her time with Tiffany, and we look forward to many more walks in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals independently for over 14 years and truly love spending time with dogs of all ages. I have experience with energetic puppies as well as senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Long walks are my favorite part of the job, and I always make sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. I genuinely love dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! Since I’m a student, my weekday schedule has some flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and quality pup time between classes. On weekends, I’m all yours (and your dog’s!) with full availability for extra walks, playtime, and cuddles. I treat every client’s home with respect and follow all instructions closely. My priority is making your dog feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their own space. I stick to their normal routine as much as possible and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection.
“Delaney is responsible, always on time, and does a very good job! My dogs love her and get so excited every time she comes over. She does an amazing job! You can count on her to take care of your dogs without any concerns!”
“Kara is a joy and a gift! She is reliable, coompetent, and confident with my quirky hounds and it’s obvious that she deeply respects the importance of communication and making sure I’m in the loop on all the details of the visit whether drop ins or walks!”
About: i have had all types of pets since i was little and always love pet sitting! I have owned dogs, cats and have pet sit since i was 12! I am currently a student at UK and only have class 2 days a week! My schedule is pretty open and can always find time! I always make sure whenever i watch a new pet that i let them get to know me and my environment! I also am very attentive!
About: I have four dogs all labs. I am excited to meet your animal. I will treat them like they are mine. I will give them all the love and attention I can! My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate to you and your pups needs. I have a lot of availability during the week and I love to be around dogs ! I have a big fenced yard and friendly dogs to keep company. I can provide daily exercise to your pets. I live in a non-smoking household.
About: I’ve had my cat, Hank (or my son, as I like to call him), for almost 6 years now. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and from a young age I was trusted with walking, feeding, and even administering medication to our senior dog. I’ve also cared for bunnies and other exotic animals—so if you have any special friends at home who need some extra love, I’m happy to help! I’m currently a student at UK and working a remote part-time internship on a campaign. I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays after 12pm, Wednesdays through Fridays before 3pm and after 5pm, and I’m very flexible on weekends. Let me know your pet’s routines or any special needs and I’m happy to adjust! This includes things like medications, reactivity on walks/with strangers, or anything else you think is important. I know how stressful it can be to be away from your pet, so I will be sure to treat your pet as if they’re my own! :)

Addelynn has been great with our new pup. We are gone most of the day for work and she comes on the days when we wont be home until late. She is responsive, walks him 20 minutes and sends pictures as well as how he did and if he went potty. Would recommend! Thanks!
Bailey was so happy to get to go on a walk today!! Since I've been working more lately, she hasn't had as many walks as I want her to, so I booked Angelee to help give her some exercise while I'm at work during the day and it went wonderfully! So thankful to have Angelee to help make my girl happier while I'm away!
