Emily and her pups were great! She was very welcoming and flexible with her time. She has an amazing fenced in yard. I felt very comfortable with her, and she was very patient and worked with my dog to get her settled. My doggie was very anxious, and Emily was very patient! Already have another booking with her for boarding!

Laura did a fantastic job watching my puppy Alma! She watched her for multiple days and each day Alma came home a happy pup. I got a detailed report on the day and felt very secure trusting Alma in her care.

Debra was wonderful! I have one dog who is very anxious and she was so patient with him to make sure he was going to be comfortable in a new environment. She has a wonderful fenced backyard which was important to me as my anxious dog doesn’t do well on walks. I will definitely be using her again.

Sydney is a great Rover. Quick to respond. Flexible. Good location - near UK campus. Eg. She looked after my dog when we discovered at short notice that we could not take her to an event on campus. Clearly a dog lover - and my dog was comfortable with her.

About: Hello there! My name is Angie and I'm a pet sitter in Lexington, KY. When you hand over the leash, you deserve to feel completely at ease. I’m Angie — a reliable, trustworthy sitter and walker who genuinely loves dogs — and as a dog owner myself, I know exactly what pet parents need: clear communication, consistency, and someone who actually cares.

Your fur baby will be treated like family, because honestly, that’s just how I am!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ I have a fenced in yard of over 1/2 an acre with two friendly dogs!

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.

About: After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands. Available almost anytime in Lexington and surrounding areas contact in advance is recommended but we can take last-minute calls depending on the situation and what not. Also I work with you budget! I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!

About: We've owned and cared for dogs for over 35 years. Our first dogs were a Lab and a Golden Retriever then a Pug and a Puggle and now the parents of a Lab/Husky mix. We provide loving care with plenty of exercise in our non-smoking, fenced home. We live one block from Jacobson Park and its wonderful dog parks so rest assured your fur baby will receive plenty of attention, exercise, fun and love during its stay. I work from home and my spouse is a stay at home spouse, so we are available to provide constant care, exercise, play time and supervision for your fur baby. Whether is romping in the fenced yard or walks to the dog park, your furry friend will enjoy being part of the pack with our dog. Our fenced yard and quiet cul de sac on a golf course and located a block from 2 dog parks is a great place for your dog to stretch its legs and play to its heart's desire. During warmer times, we'll also spend a lot of time relaxing with your pet in our screened in deck in the back yard with access to our fenced in yard.
