Dog Walkers in Colby, KY

About: I have always been passionate about helping and caring for people and animals. I have care experience with many breeds and types of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, rodents, reptiles, and horses. I adore dogs especially — their friendliness, loyalty, and energetic demeanor is contagious, and I love them so much for it! My dream is to rescue animals and help to find their forever homes. I will love and care for your pet(s) like my own. As for more about me, I am originally from Kentucky, and I studied music, specifically opera, all throughout college. I am a singer, actress, model, chef-in-the-making, fitness guru, social media influencer, artist, writer, and much more. I enjoy meeting new people and animals, and my greatest goal in life is to help as many others, human and animal, as I possibly can! I am able to check in as early at 9am, and as late as 9pm. I often have my children with me, and they either wait in the car or join us for walks in their stroller. I like to gather as much information from you as possible so that I can recreate your pet’s daily routine while you’re away! I enjoy giving animals the best, most comfortable and familiar experience as possible.

“Chelsea was great. She greeted our pup with enthusiasm and took the time to let her sniff which to a Beagle is everything.”

“We are so blessed to have found Maria to walk our dog, Aria. She's been walking Aria 3-4 times a week for a year now, and she loves Aria like she's her own. I could not speak more highly of her. We love, Maria!”

About: Hello! I had my own dog for 13.5 years (2009 - 2022) and we were the best of friends. I love giving both dogs and cats copious amounts of attention (unless they want to be left alone)! I also love playing with them and taking them for walks. I am also a strong believer in positive reinforcement and will never try to intimidate or dominate your pet. Finally, I am professionally in the animal field, although not as a dog trainer or groomer. I am a professional in the field of animal minds/human-animal interactions and love to apply my expertise when working with animals. I currently work full time at a university but work from home 3 days of the week. I therefore am available most days except for Tuesdays and Thursdays! I am in a position to only take care of pets in a client's home, but shower them with love and cuddles! I have no problem with pets hanging out on the couch and bed, as long as the owners are fine with that too!

About: Families book with me for loving, family-style care, frequent photo updates (if desired), and the peace of mind that comes from working with a sitter trusted by repeat clients since 2021. 🐶 I simply love dogs. They are truly my passion. 🐾 Caring for them isn’t just something I do, it’s something that fills my heart. 💚 I have a special love and deep experience with breeds such as English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Lhasa Apsos, Shih Tzus, Shorkies, Greyhounds, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and Bernedoodles, but I genuinely enjoy caring for all breeds and personalities. Every pup deserves to feel safe, adored, and understood. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I can’t be a full-time fur mama to them all, dog sitting allows me to pour love into as many pups as possible and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. It has been such a blessing to learn and care for new breeds through my bookings. Each dog I welcome into my home deepens my knowledge, strengthens my skills, and grows my love for dogs even more. What truly sets me apart is the family experience I provide. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just “watched”—they become part of our home. While your family is away, your fur baby enjoys a warm, loving, family-style environment filled with cuddles, attention, and genuine connection. I happily send plenty of photo updates (if desired) so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well-loved. My family loves dogs too, and on occasion, trusted family members may stop by simply to meet my furry clients and share a few extra cuddles (not to assist with care), but purely because they enjoy loving on dogs. 🐶 Some of my favorite repeat clients even get to travel with me, including family visits and store outings (photos available!). Your dog gets real-life experiences, companionship, and enrichment—not just a place to stay. Over the years, I have lovingly been a full-time fur mom to up to three dogs at the same time, gaining daily, hands-on experience managing multiple dogs under one roof. Currently, my home includes Khaleesi, my sweet English Bulldog girl. I also carry deep love for my Lhasa Apso, who crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2023 🌈. My Shorkie was lovingly rehomed with an older family member to provide emotional support, and while she no longer lives in my home, she remains part of my extended family story. I’m also what I proudly call a “Mid-Woof” 🐶—I have independently and successfully delivered 4 litters of puppies in my home and have personally whelped, nursed, and raised two litters until 4–8 weeks of age before helping them find their forever homes. I understand canine behavior, comfort, and care on a deeper level than most. I will love on your fur baby as if they were my own. Bulldogs, in particular, require a special level of patience, knowledge, and care and if you’re a bulldog parent, I’m absolutely your girl. (Bulldog hugs are always welcome 😉) I’m proud to share that I have 10+ repeat clients, including several families who have trusted me with their fur babies consistently since 2021—relationships built on love, reliability, and peace of mind. I look forward to being your dog’s Bonus Mom while you’re away. Let’s get your pup booked, loved, and spoiled! 🐾💕 I work in an office Monday–Friday but return home on lunch breaks for potty breaks and check-ins. After working from home for seven years, I’ve adjusted my availability while remaining intentional and reliable. I’m a mom to young children under 10 who are gentle, respectful, and great with dogs 🥰. I’m available for daytime drop-in visits, and on weekends (when in town) I’m fully available for dog sitting in your home, my home, or for additional check-ins. I have plenty of grassy space where I live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I also have a fur baby to keep your dogs company if needed for service in my home. I have a dog area set up in my home. We also travel to dog parks when weather permits, if your dog needs activities, we will go on walks and even to our favorite dog park!

About: Hey there! I am a pet/animal lover and enthusiast. I would have all the animals in the world if I could. I currently have 1 dog, Kash, and 1 cat, Darla Jean. Animals and caring for them are my life! Here’s my why: My grandmother lost her husband at a young age. She never dated again. She took in dogs and taking care of those dogs became her life purpose. Growing up, I would always want to visit my grandmother so that I could stay up all night with her and take care of the dogs. It became our thing. I feel that I am now living out my grandmother’s purpose by fulfilling my own purpose in giving unconditional love and care to any animal that crosses my path, just as she would have done. I love animals, and quite honestly, more than people, haha! I look forward to meeting, loving on, and caring for your fur baby as if they are my own. ❤️🐾 I am a special education teacher full time, but my toddler and myself love to show unconditional love to animals by taking care of them like they are our own. I get to do what I love as a part time “side hustle” plus also show my little boy of my own how to treat and care for animals plus teaching some responsibility! I’m available evenings, most weekends, and most holidays/ school breaks. It says on my profile “no children in the home,” but since I started Rover, I have had a baby and there is a 2 year old in the home. I tried to edit that info but literally cannot find it anywhere. Just wanted to make sure that was said though. Anyway, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own child. I like to meet with my clients face to face first so that I can get to know not only their fur baby, but their expectations in caring for their pet. I’m a great listener and follower of directions, so if you tell me exactly what you need, I will do my very best to make that happen.

About: I am pretty flexible around my work schedule with caring for dogs, I can find a way to make sure your dogs are a top priority in my daily schedule. Since my work schedule does range, I will keep my availability updated. I have always taken care of my own dogs and other people’s almost my whole life since I was a preteen. I absolutely adore getting to know other dogs and giving/receiving love from them. I’ve been training with dogs since I was 11 years old in basic manners, tricks, and agility, so I am experienced in training puppies and younger dogs. I am always up for learning more about other dogs and their personalities as well. They are such intriguing and beautiful animals. I make sure to walk dogs before and after work. Dog park a few times a week. (If that’s in their routine) And lots of cuddle time! Brushing and brushing teeth are weekly tasks normally. I ask for the pets’ normal routine. This way, it is less stressful on them that their routine doesn’t change as much with their person/people gone.

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for many years. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I always try to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any instructions, whether it’s caring for energetic dogs, shy cats, or pets that just need extra love and attention. I work online a few hours a day with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and give them attention throughout the day. I can easily adjust my routine for walks, feeding times, playtime, or check-ins. I’m usually available on weekdays and I also have availability on weekends depending on the booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel relaxed and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior, making sure they have enough exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and calm for your pet.

About: Ever since I was a baby I have had a dog in my household. As soon as I could get a dog of my own I got Bentley, my German Shepherd/Coon Hound mix. I adopted him at only 6 weeks old back in 2020. Growing up neighbors would ask me to cat sit when they were on vacation which included changing litter, feeding, and playing with the cat daily. Additionally, I have been asked to help walk dogs and to house sit in the past! I live in the Hamburg area and work full time at the University of Kentucky. My traditional work hours are 8am-5pm M-F with an hour lunch break. I would be willing to carve out time in my lunch to walk or care for pets. I do not work weekends, and have the most availability to care for pets during that time! I am extremely trustworthy and will abide by any rules you have for your fur baby. I am experienced with crating, and have no concerns with helping to put your animal back in a crate after caring for it. My fur baby, Bentley, is also extremely dog friendly so if your animal needs socialization with another, I could provide that! Unfortunately, due to the nature of my living environment I cannot board myself as I live in an apartment.

About: I have had all kinds of pets of my own as well as when I was child. Love them all and very willing to care for you puppies! I am a work from home mom with two dogs of my own. Can come during my lunch breaks and in the evenings after work during the week and the weekends are typically free for me We love on our pets here they sleep in our beds with us. We have 2 pugs and they are the best thing ever! I have a soft spot for dogs particularly.

About: I have been dogsitting for over 5 years. The clients I have worked for I have done overnight stays, dog walks, and day sitting for up to 8-10 hours. I do have one dog I sit for that doesn’t do walks so I adjust to what the clients needs. On overnight stays, I do clean up and bring in mail/ newspaper if the clients ask. I am a big animal lover so your dog/ cat will get lots of love. I do have a clients that likes to receive pictures during my stay. The dog will get plenty of exercise and playtime. Also I am flexible and very reliable. I can provide references of my regulars if needed and their type of dog. I enjoy providing lots of fun and love. I am flexible and reliable. I am able to meet to whatever the client might need. I am available whatever day and time. I do my best to meet the needs of the client. I haven’t cared for other animals in my home besides my own. When I go to someone’s residence, I follow what the owner normally does. I am usually left instructions to follow.

About: I've been a lover of animals all my life and have worked with service dogs in training. I will treat animals as if they are my own! I am a arch college student with weekends and Tuesdays free. Depending on the intended times, I could be available on other days as well! I will not be able to care for pups in my home. I live in a dorm on campus and it would be very tricky to sit them while having classes.

About: Since I was a child, I've been surrounded by pets. I grew up with two dogs and two cats, so I'm used to being around animals. I've worked with a variety of dogs, and my friends and family trust me to look after their pets! I have a fairly flexible schedule because I have some free time throughout the day. As a result, I can provide services early, midday, and late. I understand that some plans must be made at the last minute, so I am willing to accept last-minute bookings. Just let me know, and I'll do my best to work with you! I currently do not have any pets, so when I need to house sit your pet, they will be safe because they are the only pets there
