About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. From big dogs to small dogs with all types of personalities! I have experience with dogs staying with me, and house/dog sitting for others. My work gives me a lot of flexibility to give them time and attention where they won’t need to be left alone for long periods of time. I work from home so I have no issues with feeding times, potty breaks, or play time. My job isn’t too strenuous so I will never be in a position where I can’t give them the attention they need. I have a good sized yard in a quiet neighborhood for walks. They can hangout on the couch with me, and i let them sleep wherever they’d like, I know each dog has its own personality

About: Hi everyone, I’m Bree! I provide reliable, loving care for dogs/cats in a safe home environment here in Calvert City. Soon to be in Murray as I will be relocating in April 2026! Pet care is my full-time focus, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including energetic puppies and sweet senior pups who may need a little extra patience and care. Whether your dog enjoys running around the yard, going on walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I adjust their routine to match what they’re used to at home so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I’m available throughout the week for my services and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus, so I am able to give dogs plenty of attention, outdoor time, and supervision throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. All potty breaks and playtime are supervised, and I carefully monitor interactions to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I always try to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and at home. My focus is on providing a calm, safe environment where every dog gets plenty of attention and care.

About: I’ve owned everything, dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, geckos, fish, etc! I worked at an animal shelter for a year, and currently work full time as an LPN. I love to help weather it be people or pets! I am a full time nurse and work 7a-7p. My weekly schedule is a little odd. One week I only work Wednesday and Thursday, and the following week i’m only off Wednesday and Thursday. I work a 2-2-3 pattern, (2 on - 2 off - 3 on) then the next week (2 off - 2 on - 3 off) I have a decent size fenced in yard with lots of grass to roll in. We have 5 dogs, they have a bedroom upstairs that we keep their kennels. We have a guest room and empty bedroom as well where we can keep animals that maybe aren’t as dog/cat friendly and need their own space. We also have several cats in the house.

“Steve and I, Mary were visiting the area from out of town for a wedding, and Keydan set up a ZOOM call for a meet and greet so we could get acquainted, and she could meet our little dog, Ebony. I chose her because she lived in Hopkinsville KY will be in the area. We told Kaydan we would need her to stay in our hotel at the Holiday Inn and gave her the address. When we needed her Kaydan came promptly and took care of Ebony and we told her to keep Ebony not barking. 6/27/2025 we needed to go to Nashville for the rehearsal dinner and came back to our hotel and walked Kaydan to her car. Kaydan came back 6/28/2025 for the 4:30 wedding. We were home around 9:15 and took her to her car. Kaydan sent us pictures that I appreciated. I was so obvious that Ebony had a good relationship with Ebony and kept he from barking. She took Ebony out to pee or poop. Before we let for the rehearsal dinner, we let the front know about Kaydan to able buy food or drink and bill to our room. Kaydan provided excellent care of Ebony. Kaydan is loving, delightful, thoughtful, kind, caring, compassionate, warm, tender and loves dogs. Thank so much Kaydan for taking such great care of Ebony!”

About: I will tell you a bit about me and I need to know about your dog as well. Before contacting me about caring for your dog, make sure their profile(s) is completed here on Rover. Upload a picture and submit as much info as you can provide. It helps me determine if your dog is a good fit for what I can provide. About me: Raised in the country surrounded by both family pets and farm animals, caring for critters is second nature to me. I am a doting grandma who lives too far away from my kids to see my grandchildren so I channel that attention toward my Australian Shepherd, Gumbo, and my new puppy, Boo, the Yorki-Poo. After I lost my husband and best friend I found the best way to cope is to help others and keep busy. If I can help you out with your dog or cat while you're away, let me know. I can use the extra income but also I need to feel useful. I keep my fee low. Tips are appreciated. I board at my home in the country near Dukedom, TN. Think of boarding here as bringing your dog to Grandma's house. There will be some spoiling and if pet parents permit, homemade dog cookies! Currently I am home all the time. Your dog will be with me and my dog while here. Gumbo (30 pound neutered male) likes to play fetch or frisbee and we do this daily. I feed my dog early morning (6-7) and early evening (6-7). I give a lot of outside time when weather allows. I give my dog a lot of attention and your dog(s) will get the same. We are a pack and your dog will be part of that pack when he/she stays with us. I live on 6 acres near Dukedom, TN. My large backyard has a chain link fence. If your dog likes to play ball or frisbee this is a great yard to do it in. In addition to the backyard, I have a large field that I keep a path mowed around just for walks but to go there your dog(s) must have excellent recall or be leashed trained very well. I don't want to be pulled around or have to struggle to hold them. Dogs really like going to the field. "No" is the word I use to stop misbehavior. If there is a different word you use, let me know. It is good to know what words/phrases your dog recognizes. It'd be great if you write those down and give it to me. I have carpet throughout my living quarters so PLEASE only housebroken dogs. I give numerous long outdoor time between 5 AM to 9 PM. Potty breaks are every couple of hours. Your pet must be vaccinated! Bordatella vacs are recommended every six-to-twelve months. if your dog frequents places with other dogs, get 6 month vaccine. My dogs are vaccinated. In the warmer months, it is very important that dogs have a flea and tick preventative or have some defense against these nasty bugs because both are out here. I keep grass mowed but they still get on the dogs so make sure they have a preventative. My dogs wear clothing treated with Sawyer flea/tick spray and I have had great success with that method along with a monthly prescribed medicine. Bring your pet's food/bowls/treats along with feeding instructions. Filling out pet profile in depth on Rover helps tremendously! It has an area for vet info and anything I would need to know about your dog can be on their profile! Gumbo has dog toys that he shares but if your dog has a fave, bring it. If your dog must sleep in a bed or crate, bring it. Sometimes a sweater or anything with your scent on it comforts a dog that misses his/her owner. You're welcome to bring that. If he/she has a brush that you want me to use, bring it. I can brush dogs but have no proper facility to bathe. In the summer, I have a small dog pool to cool off in and plenty of shade in the backyard. NO cell service out here so I do not carry my phone with me. I check my messages several times thru the day but I'm not like most that have their phone on them. It does me no good. Many rural people pay for cell service despite not getting it at their homes. I have a landline that works providing my internet service works. If there is anything else you need to know, do not hesitate to ask. I have my profile set to only take in three dogs at a time. I have two so I think five is enough. I am very attentive so rest assured I am keeping a good eye on them.

“Whitney is absolutely amazing!!!!! We had a scheduled sitter before her that was a very bad experience. We were in desperate need of a sitter and even with it being last minute she was able to watch them. She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs and cat! She sent numerous pictures and videos. All my dogs fell in love with her! And it truly gave me hope that I was able to trust someone again with my pets. I want to thank her for her time and the care she gave! We will definitely be using her again.”

“Erica stayed at our house for 5 days and took great care of our 3 puppies!! It was the first time we left the youngest one but after meeting her we had no reservations. She came to meet them and was an obvious natural with animals and they were at ease right away. Erica sent regular pictures and updates the entire time. She was professional, communicative, and kind. We came home to a clean house and, most importantly, very happy dogs! I highly recommend Erica and will definitely have her come back when we travel next.”

“Erica did a great job watching our 2 dogs and our house! She regularly updated me on the dogs and cleaned the whole house before we got home. She was very communicative and friendly, highly recommend!”
