“Rhonda is truly the best. Most importantly, shes amazing with animals. I have two dogs and two cats and they arent the easiest to win over. And they all liked her immediately! She was so sweet and worked with us timing wise, sent plenty of pictures and made us feel so much better about going away for the weekend. I'm so happy I found her!”

“Haley went above and beyond for us, she only stayed for 2 nights to house sit but she left the house absolutely spotless! She made sure to check in often to let us know everything was okay & followed all of the regular routine we gave her! I would absolutely recommend Haley to anyone needing a house sitter or just an intermittent pet sitter, our animals loved her. We will be hiring her again!”

About: I have been a pet owner for my entire life! I enjoy playing, walking, and spending time with dogs and cats. I have also been a sitter for several personal friends and family members. I’m currently on vacation from college, so I can spend as much time as needed with all of my clients! I am available most days, excepting Thursdays and Fridays. I am very comfortable with animals and try to ensure that they are comfortable with me. I walk my large, excitable dog on a regular basis. This experience gives me confidence when I walk other animals.

“Taryn and her husband were amazing. It’s hard to find people you can trust and who really care about your pets. I was sent pictures and texts to keep me updated on how things were going and we were able to enjoy our getaway. Everything was neat and tidy upon our return home and Taryn even kept in contact to make sure we made it home. Thanks again Taryn and Ken we will be using your services in the near future. Susan and Dan”

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was 11. I was told I had to do all the puppy chores if I wanted a puppy so I’ve always walked, bathed, feed, and played with them as much as possible. I love all dogs no matter the shape or size. I also live on a big farm where they would be able to play and run all day long. I currently work a full-time job three days a week. It can depends on my schedule, but I get my schedule months in advance, so I’m available on the days that my calendar says I’m available and I’m normally available every other weekend. I do go to college but I’m online this semester so I’ll be home the days I don’t work. We have all kinds of toys and room for them to play. I live in a neighborhood. I don’t have a fenced in yard but they would be able to run all day as they pleased and run inside as they please and go on fun trips and do all that kind of stuff while they’re with me my parents also have a big farm so there might be days where I decide to go out there and I could take your pups with me and they can run and run and play all day long on the farm.I also never mind to bath them if they get dirty!

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own young puppy. I enjoy taking him on walks and teaching him new tricks everyday, I already want another! But life circumstance won’t allow that right now, so I thought dog sitting would be perfect for me! I just would like to do something I love! My animals only need so much care and attention, so I thought being a pet sitter would be perfect. If it is a cat friendly and other dog friendly dog, I wouldn’t mind at all to pet sit at my house(my puppy loves playmates). Cat care and non-other animal friendly dogs would be at the clients home.

“Tanner is the most amazing sitter we’ve ever had! So attentive to Bennie and our house was spotless when we came home! He even worked on some reactivity training! 10 out of 10!!!”

“Thank you Sophia! We so enjoyed the pics and updates while we were away. I know Oliver was in good hands. We will absolutely call you again!”

About: I grew up on a farm with cattle, horses, dogs, cats, and even goats. I have always been an animal lover. I was also assisting a breeder who bred English bulldogs for about 14 years before the breeder retired I am looking for some extra jobs while I’m back in Kentucky. I do seasonal work and travel a lot, so while I’m back here I’m looking for little jobs that help me stay afloat and getting to love on some animals sounds like a great way to do it. I do not allow pets to come to my home. At their home I will do as the owners have asked they will know the pets more than me. If nothing else I will always do my best to make sure the pets are comfortable happy and have all their needs met

“Alexandra was very communicative and stayed with our boy during the fireworks on the 4th of July. Highly recommend”

About: I have had dogs of my own for my entire life, and dog-sat for many friends, family & neighbors over the years. I also have tons of experience with horses and goats! I am traveling right now as I search for another full time job. In the interim, I am looking for animals to care for, walk, groom- whatever is needed- to make some money & stay afloat! I love to snuggle & play with all of the fur babies! I give great scratches and am a worthy tug-of-war opponent. I will ensure that your house is always locked, safe & secure, and that your companions are happy & healthy!
