“Debbie was absolutely lovely. She took great care of my pups while we were out of town. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! We video called ahead of time to go over the routine and she checked in with me while she was checking in on the pups. Have us absolute peace of mind! 10/10”

“We are so grateful for Chelsea! She has been medicating our cat while we are out of town and has done an amazing job. Our cat is a little salty and can be difficult and she has been wonderful with him!”

“Laura was great, I had her let out one of my fur kids and she was flexible when I needed to push something a little and sent pictures so got to see the kiddo some during the day. She also did the simple but important little things like making sure he had water which I appreciated.”

“As always, Cindy was excellent with Willow. It was storming so she sent a message and asked how Willow does with storms. It was so nice that she checked. But that’s how seriously she takes her appointments.”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds-from farm animals to small pets like rabbits and hamsters, and of course, cats and dogs of all sizes. With years of experience and a lifelong love for animals, I’m ready to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. I understand how important your furbabies are, and I’d love to provide them with reliable, loving care. I’m an active college student at Eastern Kentucky University! I have classes three days a week, with breaks between them, leaving plenty of time to care for your precious furbabies. I’d love to provide them with the attention and love they deserve. I would love to shower your pets with love and attention! I always follow any rules you provide for food, treats, or routines. For dogs, I enjoy giving them plenty of time outside when the weather permits, and I am happy to take them on walks. I’m also more than willing to get on the floor and play with any pets who want interaction. I follow instructions carefully and make it a point to leave your home tidy, taking care of any messes your pets might make along the way.
About: I always strive to ensure that my clients certainty regarding their fur-babies needs are always met, their safety, comfort & happiness is paramount & knowing your home is secure & safe with me. I like to bring treats, which I will inform you of & only offer with your consent. Additionally I work with reactivity, past abuse history, disabilities & seniors. Because of the patience & time I dedicate to all animals my clients have the security knowing their babies & homes are safe with me. I will gladly send you videos & photos along with updates throughout the visit & upon request will take them to any vet appts. Always making certain they’re happy & well taken care of, I do offer overnights at your home for standing clients because I want to be certain that they feel completely comfortable with me in their safe space while you are away. I am very trustworthy, loving & responsible & will care for them just as you would. I am currently available all days of the week for a walks and drop-ins, & overnights upon request (for standing clients). All animals have individual needs & quirks. I understand this more than most because my fur baby has medical issues & is a senior that demand more attention than most. I will treat every pet as my own, because I understand the importance of peace of mind knowing they are safe & cared for & loved. I work with many seniors & several dogs with special needs & am happy to accommodate any of their needs or requirements, even if it seems silly to others. I want to ensure they are happy & healthy, therefore I also keep a close eye on any irregularities & inform you immediately.
“I could tell how much Isabella loves animals and was completely confident that she would take the very best care of my baby girl. Willow was in good hands and I will definitely book Isabella again.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all personalities. I have two labs and two cats of my own, including a rescue we welcomed into our home, so I understand how important trust, routine, and a calm environment are for pets. I successfully introduced all of our animals and helped them learn to coexist comfortably, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, slow introductions, and reading body language. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic and anxious pets, and I take pride in making animals feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I also genuinely enjoy the little things that make a difference — keeping spaces clean, deep-cleaning litter boxes, sticking to routines, and giving pets individualized attention based on their needs and personalities. 🐾 Pet care is already a huge part of my daily life, so caring for other animals fits naturally into my routine. Between my two labs and two cats, I’m used to managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning, and making sure each pet gets individual attention and affection every day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care never feels like a chore to me — it’s something that brings me peace and happiness. I’m someone who pays attention to the little details, whether that’s noticing changes in behavior, keeping litter boxes and living spaces clean, or helping pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. My schedule allows me to be dependable, communicative, and consistent with the care I provide, which I know is important when someone is trusting me with a beloved pet.
“Kailey has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sable. She’s dependable, punctual, and communicates clearly, which gives me real peace of mind while I’m at work. Sable took to her quickly, and it’s obvious Kailey genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s flexible with my rotating schedule and always professional. I truly appreciate her reliability and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

“Lindsey always sends me the best pictures of my babies which is a really nice touch that i appreciate when I'm gone! I can tell she spends time with them and is thorough in her visits! She is flexible and has been a lifesaver! I know my pets are safe, healthy, and happy with her! I was admitted to the hospital unexpectedly and with very little notice she agreed to get all their needs taken care of while I was away. Thank you!!!”
