House Sitting in Dexter

“Tara was great with our fur babies! She’s very sweet, responsive and communicative. She sent updates about the animals often and even sent photos of them. I would highly recommend Tara’s services!”

“I’m so thankful I found Natalie! Our dogs are pretty easy, but trying to find someone who will cuddle and play with them can sometimes be challenging. She played fetch with our active pup and had snuggle time with the more needy pup. Sent updates and pictures which I loved. When we got home they both were relaxed, and I could tell they had lots of play time and were well taken care of. So happy I found someone like Natalie that cares for our pups as much as we do.”

“Amanda was the best! She had amazing communication and sent pictures of Charlee :) We met prior to her housesitting and I felt comfortable and confident that she was the best woman for the job. I will definitely be using Amanda again for any needs moving forward.”

“Emma arrived promptly. Asked pet specific questions. Sent pictures each time. She cared for our 7 week old puppy while we attended my son’s wedding events. We were more than pleased. Would not hesitate to call her again. Amazing service!”

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: Dogs are the way to my heart. I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, now called SEMO pets. Training is one of my favorite things to do, besides playing. I have experience with giving medicine to fur babies. I currently work part time so my schedule is for the most part pretty flexible. Rarely am I ever on vacation or far from home. I will feed, water, administer medications if needed, play, train, clean up any messes made, give all the attention they want. I treat all animals as if they were my own.

About: I've had pets since I was very young. I started taking care of friends pets and my own since I was 15. I currently have 5 dogs, 8 cats, multiple rats, and 2 ball pythons. I currently work full time but am able to care for your pets in the afternoon and on Fridays and Saturdays. I can also take time off to care for your fur babies if given ample time to ask off or find coverage for my job. I currently cannot do anything in the home I live in as it's not mine and there are too many animals living here, however I am able to care for your pets in your home as I would my own. I respect boundaries from pet parents and will always do things within the rules and boundaries told to me when caring for your fur babies.

About: I bring a strong veterinary background to my pet-sitting services. I graduated from Murray State with a degree in Veterinary Technology and currently work as a technician at Westside Veterinary Clinic, where I’ve gained three years of hands-on experience in professional animal care. Because of my clinical training, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs—including puppies, seniors, and pets requiring medication or special monitoring. I also live just two minutes away from Westside Veterinary Clinic, allowing me quick access to medical attention if ever needed. Along with my medical skills, I have previous pet-sitting experience and a genuine love for making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own homes. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, both at home and at work. I work full-time at Westside Veterinary Clinic on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, with Thursdays off. Even on my workdays, I come home during my hour-long lunch break to check in, let pets outside, and make sure everyone is comfortable. Because I work in a veterinary environment, I also have the flexibility to bring animals with me to the clinic if needed, ensuring they are safe, supervised, and never left alone for long periods. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and week. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they are welcomed into a safe, calm, and well-supervised environment. I have two friendly, well-trained Australian Shepherds who enjoy meeting new animals. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my dogs are crated whenever I’m not home, ensuring that guest pets can relax without any stress or unsupervised interactions. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, including their feeding routine, exercise requirements, medication, and any special instructions from their owner. I introduce pets slowly and thoughtfully, monitor their comfort levels, and make sure they always have their own space, enrichment, and downtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routine and maintain a clean, secure environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering consistency, compassion, and attentive care. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

“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: All kinds of animals have been drawn to me starting when I was a little girl. I haad a pet squirrel, raccoon, cats, dogs, rabbits, feret. I am exteremly tuned into nature and exhibit a lot of love, care, attention and compassion for animals. I currently am retired and fully commited and available to assist you with any pet care, including horses. I request as much notice as possible to ensure I will fit you in my schedule & dedicate my time to your specific needs. I would like to go to a person's home since we have 2 Golden's and a cat at my own home. I would love to take your pets for long walks, to the dog park, swimming and just cuddle with them.

“Whitney was extremely attentive and courteous. We trusted her in our home and she seemed to have care for our dogs as if they were her own. I learned that she grew up on a farm and has extensive experience caring for horses, chickens and other livestock. I most certainly will contact her for future house sitting needs as well as toncare for my farm's animals. It is difficult to find someone that possesses such a range of talent and experience with animals, who I can trust and depend on. Thank you!”

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.

About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).

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
