“I booked Dani for Thanksgiving and for Christmas and she is the absolute BEST. Thank you Dani for giving me peace of mind while I'm away and for being a friend to my girls. <3”
“Racheal was amazing! She walked into a couple of unexpected pee spots and graciously cleaned them up for me. She was available last minute and communicated very well!”
“Dina took such great care of my cat! My cat needs stimulation, attention, and play, which Dina provided (during holiday season and for a good price). Dina is an animal lover and it showed in her care of my sweet girl! Thanks so much Dina.”
“Kayla took such good care of my cat while I was gone for a couple weeks! She’s kind, always responds quickly, and gave my cat love and attention while I was gone. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Angela was great! We had a conversation with a pic every time! Second time using this service and both times were fantastic! Recommend Angela again too!”
“Finnley was great with my kitties! They are afraid of strangers but warmed up to her super fast. ? She also did a great job taking care of them. She even spent time playing with them. ?”
“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and am passionate about caring for pets of all kinds! I truly believe pets are family and I know how hard it can be to leave your babies home, that is why I am dedicated to providing quality, exceptional care and tons of loving to your furbabies to help you feel as at ease as possible. I promise to go above and beyond to ensue your pets are happy & content during their staycation! I have 5 furbabies of my own: 2 pups, 1 kitty, and 2 free roam bunnies! They are my whole world. I am also one of the founders of a 501c3 cat rescue and am passionate about saving the lives of animals in need! I can provide medication administration and am comfortable caring for pets with special needs as well as seniors and anxious/fearful babies. I will take my time earning their trust and love to build positive relationships with all of the animals I care for. I don't mind getting my hands dirty to clean up any accidents either. Your babies come first and I can't wait to get to meet them! I am currently working part time and will have lots of extra time to spend with your babies! My schedule does change each week so my availability will vary depending on the day. The safety and comfort of your furbabies is my number 1 priority! I will take as much time as they need getting to know them and earning their trust, so that they will be as happy as possible while you are away. My care will be tailored to your pets and their routines to help them feel as at ease as possible. I also love to keep parents updated and have a passion for photography, so I'll be sure to send you cute pics and videos of your babies!
“Chelsea was awesome! She came on time everyday and gave updates and sent pictures of my cats! They really seemed to like her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Cindy was wonderful with my cat, Snowball! I'd definitely trust her and would recommend her to anyone needing a loving pet sitter!”
About: I have experience with horses, dogs, cats, and even reptiles. I have specialized experience with large animals, disabled animals and elderly animals as well. I have a genuine passion for animals and I am committed to providing personalized care. I go beyond just feeding and walking. I take the time to understand each pet's unique needs and personalities. I will ensure your pet will feel loved, secure and at ease while you're away. I go to college at the University of Kentucky during the day but the longest day I have will end at 5 on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am a Vocal Performance major so I do have performances every so often but they are very easy to work around. I provide personalized care designed to meet the unique needs of your beloved companions. I can care for pets of all shapes and sizes including daily walking, feeding, medication administration, and playtime. I can spend the night and leave your home in the same way I arrived and leave your pet just as happy as when you left!
About: Got my first dog af age 10, an English Bulldog named Buster. Around 13 I got my second dog, a poodle mix named Tucker. Been employees to take care of several other breeds by family and friends! I do online school from home and work occasional 3 hour shifts! Will usually always be home with your pets and if not I have backup to take them potty while I’m gone! I have two very friendly dogs that love to play! I also have a private upstairs if your pet likes to be alone. I’m also willing to stay with them in the comfort of their own home!
About: I am a huge animal person! I have a special interest in feline care, and currently working with a bunch of feral community cats, as well as volunteering at animal shelters with both cats and dogs. I have grown up around all kinds of animals, and currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I’m currently a college student looking for employment, so my schedule is pretty open! I’m free to hang out with your pets any time right now! I have a fenced in yard, and multiple rooms to seperate and rotate if needed. My dogs are friendly, and my cat will keep her distance, likely staying in my room.
About: **if looking for pet sitting, make sure your furry friend is good with small dogs and cats** I, myself, am a small business owner. I work in photography and know my schedule well in advance. I have a 1.5 year old pug (behaved and potty trained). He no longer needs a crate but he has his own bedroom for if he gets too overstimulated and wants to play rough. He’s never hurt a fly though! I also have a cat who I’ve had for 7 years. He is social and talks more than any human I’ve met. He stays to himself and lounges on his cat tree or explores my fenced in yard. My yard is protected 100% around at approximately 10 ft high surrounding. I have grass to play in that is regularly maintained. Both of my pets are up to date on shots and flea, tick, and heart worm prevented monthly. I had rescued a pug before my current one who passed away unfortunately but I was on a 24 hour schedule with his medications and had hospice available at all times. My current dog gets eye medications every morning due to a genetic issue. So I have experience with medication. As well as IV medication/fluids. I grew up on a farm in Kentucky and took care of everything from cattle to goats to chickens to cats and dogs. I was going to become a dog foster but decided this route first with the possibility of still doing that in the future! I also took care of people with disabilities as an aid during my early 20’s (I’m 31) so no poo poo, pee pee, or throwing up bothers my stomach at all! My goal is to make your pet feel at as home as possible and as stimulated as they want to be to keep from being sad when away from their parent(s). Whenever I’ve had to leave my pets for personal family circumstances in Kentucky, it broke my heart that they’d miss me. I also have a furbo. I will be happy to provide you a link that you may access. You can see them and throw them treats (if they’re allowed them). I’m also lgbtq+ to be clear of my personal orientation/gender. I love animals more than people and for better or worse, that’s the truth :) I book my shoots with brands and talent way in advance. It makes it very easy to plan! I also will volunteer passing out clothes and food to those without shelter but I also plan that a month in advance and make my own schedule! I can crate your dog if needed. I just ask you bring your crate. As listed before, I have a playful pug and a lazy cat. I’m able to give medications and have a lot of experience with that!
“Maria did an excellent job with two very hard headed dogs! We appreciated her very much!”
“Working with Olivia was easy. We worked out details, she kept me in the loop and my cat seemed to enjoy his visit. Definitely recommend!”

Animals have always been a huge part of my life – I’ve been involved in animal rescue for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets isn’t just a job to me, it’s a lifelong passion.

I do animal rescue every day of my life, happily. I exercise, hike, or walk the track of Lake Reba every day with my fur babies and would love to take yours! My pets are on a routine. They go outside to the restroom around every 1-4 hours, other than when I am at work. I feed my pets once in the morning and then before bed.. I’m strict and stay on schedule, never late!
“Laura was wonderful again! She made sure my cat got his medicine while I was gone, which is not an easy task. Shes super responsive and gives good updates after her visits. Would recommend Laura to anyone with a furball!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life. I've had my own dog for the last 7 years. I love dogs! I will treat and love your dog like I do my own. I use to dog sit my best friend's three dogs for a couple years. I currently just resigned from my career to take care of my daughter with her medical needs. After her appointments I'm available majority of the day. I am free majority of the time, feel free to message me for daily confirmation. I have a fenced in yard to keep your dog safe. I love taking my dog for walks with my daughter so I will include your dog in our walks. I am happy to come to your house to walk and play with your dog.
“Great experience! Cheyanne done a drop in visit for my 4 cats while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. She sent pictures to me when she dropped in which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was ok. She fed them and cleaned out the litter boxes. Will definitely be booking again”

8. Amy R.
“Amy is an amazing pet sitter and I would trust her with my babies any time! When she watched my 3 dogs and 2 cats who all have different needs she carefully followed all of my instructions to care for them, asked questions to clarify things where needed, and learned all of their quirks. Each of my dogs responds better to different things: one is food motivated, one is praise motivated, and one is toy motivated and she remembered which was which and interacted with them accordingly. She even figured out how to coax my two anxious, picky eaters to eat their food while I was out of town!! It's evident in everything that she does that she cares so so much about all the fur babies and loves them quite thoroughly.”

11. Courtlin C.
““I cannot recommend Courtlin enough as a pet sitter for both dogs and lizards! She took such great care of our energetic pup and our bearded dragon while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a knack for understanding the unique needs of each pet. Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and relaxed when we returned, and our lizard’s enclosure was spotless, with his feeding and lighting schedule perfectly maintained. It’s such a relief to know your pets are in capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your animals like their own Courtlin is the one to call!””
