About: I grew up always being with dogs, and many other animals. Along with walking, running, or just playing with your dog(s) I can also help with training. I have experience with administering medications and am comfortable doing so. As an animal care professional I have 15 years of experience with animals. Not only can I care for your dog, but I can also care for your cats, birds, & fish. I can help with house training and basic behavior training for your pup. All sorts of pets are fun to care for! I am usually available in the evenings and early mornings. I can also house-sit any night of the week. Let me help you keep your pup, or other pet, at its happiest! Have a good day! Pets are great companions for us all. I can't wait to see my dog everyday and make sure he's living his best life which is just how I'd care for your pet. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to play. Our own dog is friendly and loves to hang with other dogs too.

We have 2 large dogs, a puppy, and three cats - so its a lot of work- and Kaitlyn did a great job house sitting for us! All instructions were followed, pictures and videos were sent, good communication and respectful to our home! It's hard to find someone to step in fully when you are away but Kaitlyn does just that!

Penny was excellent with the full day care of our two dogs, one being blind. She sent numerous pics throughout the day . Carried our blind dog out to go and walk outside a bit, played with our GSD. We will definitely use her again, she is a professional and very caring.

Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!

About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.

About: i have taken care of some sort of animal since i can remember. My first best friend was Danger, a beautiful Pit Bull i potty and command trained at 5 years old. Since Danger i have raised a variety of dogs (big and small), cats (various breeds), my birds (Vickie and Victoria), one turtle, several fish, etc. My longest lived relative was Chewie (small dog) who recently passed away nearly making it to 20 years old! I am in the process of learning food and natural remedies that can extend the lives of dogs and cats as i truly love animals more than most people. Even having a few terrifying memories with animals, i still hold true to the fact no animal is ever evil or wicked, like some humans. If an animal is mean, it has a reason to be such a way, and all it needs to heal and become clean is a little Jesus love to let the small critter know, “You are appreciated.” This mantra and mindset has taken me very far in life, and enables me to be your Pet’s Next Best Friend! Don’t worry, Dogs are happy! Pets are my passion! i ensure you we provide everything your pet needs under one woof! Who is we? Me myself & i, i like big mutts and i cannot lie, but i love the pitter patter of tiny paws too! i know, i know.. “you had me at woof” but i cannot stress enough how pets are my passion. I am the top dog walker & caretaker, and i assure you we will fetch amazing results! Book with us! I double dog dare you! i currently work at a suit shop (Men’s Wearhouse near the Kenwood Mall) selling suits! I am in a transition period of trying to get my first solo dental practice up and running! Those are the two “jobs” which consume my time, but truly i tell you i consider neither real work as i love both as a passion. When i am not doing either of those things i am typically found deep in the Word of God, with my family, or out and about in nature or at a dog park. I have a very wide schedule as i prioritize every second of each day to maximize my time. You ever meet someone and think, “how do you do all that in a single day? Do you have more than 24hrs to work with?” If you have never met someone like this.. hello! Nice to meet you! I am happy to be the first! 🙃 I have the same approach well similar is a better word. My approach for pets in my home is simple. Treat pets as any other honored or distinguished guest. I keep a variety of snacks and treats at home, such as peanut butter, and a variety of other treats like 360 pet care freeze dried snacks, i have a few toys that seem to be popular among cats and dogs, a case of laser pointers, in case one stops working.. hate to be caught without one when the cats especially are having a good time! I try to stay as prepared as possible for any circumstance that may arise. At my clients home i do the same, and i pack a travel bag similar to the one i bring to the dog park when i frequent there. The prime difference between at home and at a clients home is i practice pet care with added, greater attention to detail. Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself, but i tell you (myself) love your neighbor greater than yourself, better than yourself, and you will do well! So with that in mind i try to always think of ways to do more, do better, and be better whenever someone graciously invites me to their home, and whatever i devise i later apply it to myself, so my overall abilities may rise, then i rinse and repeat!

Anamaria was truly amazing staying over to watch our dog and cat! Very thorough up front to learn how we’d like for her to care for our pets. Then she was great at communicating updates and sending pics. Even helped clean up our house to spotless before she left! 10/10 will hire Anamaria again to watch our girls

About: Growing up, I have always had a fascination and love for animals. My flexibly and convenience can give you a peace of mind, knowing that your pet is in a comfortable, caring and nurturing environment. I have the time to give your pet the the best personalized services it deserves! I am currently a full time student at the University of Louisville. My classes are evenly broken up into in-person and virtual classes, which leaves me plenty of time to be there for your pet. My schedule is very flexible. I prefer to work in my clients home in order to keep your pet where they are most comfortable and happy. If needed your pet is welcome in to my home, it has a large fenced in back yard.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and know how to treat them with care and respect. I grew up with multiple animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to pet sit as long as it’s outside my work time (usually I work 1 or 2 days a week but other than that I’m free) I will care for your pet according to whatever instructions you give me and I will of course treat your pet with kindness and the love it deserves, just as you would.

About: i am a reliable and trustworthy individual who will provide exceptional care and attention to your pets when you’re away. i’ve taken care of dogs since i was little and have always loved them. As each year has passed, i’ve taken care of more dogs along with other pets like guinea pigs,birds,fish and cats. i’m capable of taking care of senior dogs and ones with special needs. I know what it’s like to care for an old dog that struggles with certain things. they would still get the exact same amount of attention as any other dog would. i’m very compassionate when it comes to animals. your pets needs are first priority. they’re happiness is what matters most. any pet of yours will be loved on, cuddled and cared for with me looking after them i don’t have a job but i’m still quite busy helping my family out during the week with therapy/doctor appointments. my brother is handicapped and so he has to go to therapy a few days a week all the way up in cincinnati which takes half a day. im also helping homeschool my younger brothers during the week. in my opinion i know the weekends would work the best bc I’m usually not doing anything which means that i could have my full attention on your pet(s). however we could always talk in advance about the schedule and i could make take time during the week work if needed They’ll have my full attention. I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun. I can also take them on walks and runs and take them out for potty breaks. if they need to be fed at a certain time or need any type of medicine then that is very important to know in advance. Also knowing if they get along with other people/pets. we don’t want anything bad happening so knowing anything and everything about your pet(s) in advance is highly recommended.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover offering dog walking services for your furry family members. I’m a mom of four, with two dogs of my own—a German Shepherd and a Pomeranian—and two cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. We recently moved from California. I spent my time hiking twice a week with my dogs, alongside my cousin and her Doberman and cattle dog. Staying active and being outdoors is a big part of my life, and I love bringing dogs along! I treat my pets like family so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, exercise, or just some companionship during the day, I’m here to help. My husband and I are currently in the process of buying a home, and I’m looking to earn a little extra income while doing something I love. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am currently a stay at home mom. I will be available during the summer and our youngest will be starting kindergarten so my schedule is open to you and your pets needs for long term! I can come to your home, help administer medications, play with your pets and take them for walks. Available for occasional overnight stays if needed.

I value respect within the house I am in and make sure to clean up any mess made by me or the pet.
