“Candice was so amazing & kind to watch Brazi for a few hours on such short notice! She sent me pictures right away, which I loved btw, and I knew Brazi was in good hands. Looked like she was definitely enjoying the patio and the yard! Would most definitely recommend Candice!”

“Nathan did a great job! Great communication and I appreciate how he asked a few extra questions when I first dropped my pup off to make sure he took care of him well. Pup returned happy! Highly recommend!”

“She did great with my pup. My pup took a surprise trip to her parents house and went on a walk with their pup! My pup was all worn out at the end of the day!”

About: My name is Amber and I have been volunteering at adoption events for local rescues and dog/house/farm sitting for 10+ years. I currently own an active heeler/collie mix that I adopted from the Humane Foundation in 2023. I registered her with the AKC Canine Partners Program and we successfully completed the STAR Puppy program and earned a title in scent work. I have experience working with all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats, whether they are seniors or have special needs. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to working with you! I currently work as an office manager for a 92-acre thoroughbred farm in Lexington. My schedule is flexible and I work about 40 hours a week. The farm is dog friendly and I bring my own dog to run around every day. It’s great exercise and they always sleep so well at the end of the day. Your pet's safety is my biggest priority! I treat your pets with the same quality care and concern that I use with my own animals. Your pets will be closely monitored. I know how important these four legged friends are to our families!

“Excellent service”

“Christina was wonderful, from her communication before and during the sitting service to the exceptional care that she provided for Max. She took him on several long walks. I felt very safe and comfortable leaving my dog with her.”

“Virginia was great! She took wonderful care of Dolly, and sent us a lot of pictures of their fun together. :) Thanks for taking great care of our pup!”

About: We are not your average sitter! Parents who wish for their dogs to have fun in a safe and controlled way please read on! If your 4 legged friend stays with me, not only will they be treated like the family pack, we will be busy doing fun things. Don’t leave your dog somewhere locked up in a strangers house wondering when you will come back! They hate that! We can have field trips to different hiking locations/ parks around Lexington, lots of fun activities involving food (yum!) and you bet there will be an overload of pictures to share! Challenging dogs, active dogs, and everything in between are welcome! *Bathes with many shampoo options available as well as a blow dry. Fees apply **I offer free pick up and drop offs (although anyone is welcome to do so themselves) within 20 miles of Nicholasville** About this sitter: I have been working with dogs (and other animals) since 2011 in various capacities so your dog will be in well capable hands. The last 3 years I have been training dogs in California and have completed 2 prestigious courses for dog trainers. I have fostered many dogs from the animal shelter so I have learned how to help dogs smoothly adjust into new environments. My other favorite hobby aside from working with dogs are training with my own dogs, horseback riding, and hiking with friends and their pooches in large packs. I am happy to work with any training request while your pups is here if you so choose. Why I love dog sitting I love to give people piece of mind that their pups are accepted, well taken care of and thriving in an environment that is good for their dogs. In return, I get to meet new breeds and temperaments of dogs that will value my future career! A total win win situation. I also love an extra excuse to get out and explore new hiking trails! About my yard We have a large yard with the house situated in the middle. It is unfenced but no one goes off leash (long line) until there is a better understanding of the dog and their habits. There is a flowing creek and dam on the property as well as plenty of space to run around. Your dogs will never want to leave! My experience administering medication Yes, I have administered medications orally, and through injections. The mornings are for potty time followed by breakfast if applicable. After food is digested and the human is ready, we will venture out for the day for a walk, hike, or playtime. I am only caring for pets in my home currently, but I will care for any guest with respect and also keep them entertained. I have all needed supplies but special bedding is allowed to bring with their stay.

“Julie was awesome! She watched out for our dogs as if they were her own! We have Italian Greyhounds, and they are sometimes afraid of bigger dogs...Julie made sure our dogs were comfortable with all the dogs, and if they weren't, then she separated the dogs during playtime so everyone was happy! I loved getting pictures of our fur babies during the day! I do not believe that I will ever use a kennel again, after having Julie take care of our pups!!”

About: Looking for an excited pet sitter with experience living with and caring for fur babies? Look no further! I have lived with and taken care of dogs for much of my life, and I have plenty of experience dog sitting for friends and family. I am able to stay overnight and accommodate any requests you may have for your fur baby - keeping them happy and healthy is the priority! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets during the day! I am available to be present constantly on weekends and after 4:30pm on weekdays, as well. Whatever your schedule, I would be happy to accommodate! I live in an apartment, so I am only able to care for pets in my home for short periods of time (an afternoon or so!). If there are needs in-home while I am pet sitting (any cleaning or house care), I would be happy to take care of that as well!

“This was my 3rd time leaving my dog Jack with Stacey and she kept him safe during the crazy wind storm that happened on March 3rd, 2023. I would have been nervous for Jack's safety, but I knew Stacey would treat Jack like her own, and sure enough everything turned out fine. Stacey is great and I highly recommend her! I'll be booking her again soon enough.”

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!

“Katie es fantástica. Ya hemos dejado a nuestra Kira varios días con ella y el segundo día Kira ya conocía el camino e iba moviendo el rabito. Además la lleva a dar largos paseos y se nota que Kira está muy a gusto con ella. Gracias, Katie!”

“Carrera is amazing to work with. Our dog loves her and is so excited to see her. Carrera communicates consistently and effectively. She is always on time; great with medications; and just a kind human. I can't recommend her enough.”

About: Hi, I’m Anna, 19 years of age. I’m looking to fulfill my free time with dogs. I have previous dog sitting experience and if relevant I’ve been babysitting for the past four years and withhold caretaking traits, and understand the responsibilities that come with caring for another. I have a deep passion for all animals. I’m adaptive to knowing body language and catch signs of any disproportional behavior. Thank you! I’m currently available 24/7, which means I can easily accommodate same-day requests. I’m also more than happy to stop by as many times as needed throughout the day to make sure your pets are well taken care of. As previously mentioned I have an understanding of canine behavior and body language so I’m aware of their boundaries and trusts. I also have experience of dog sitting; the pup is still thriving today so that’s a good point :).

“Chenglong is a very patient caregiver with a relaxed demeanor, and his Yorkie puppy Eddie is a very polite play mate! My Pomeranian Maddie was completely spent by the end of her visit and slept really well that night (which is a very hard thing to achieve, since she has enough energy for 3 puppies). Chenglong was careful with Maddie's care instructions and made sure she has all she needed during the duration of her stay, he is also observant of her behavior and mentioned information which he noticed that will help keep Maddie a content pupper! In short, I would definitely recommend Chenglong's care giving services, especially to owners with hyperactive little puppers!”
