“Nathalie was amazing with my Bean 😁 She gave me multiple updates throughout the day with pictures. She even took my dog for walks at the dog park which was very sweet. Bean misses her already 😢 Thank you and your mom so much for going above and beyond for my baby. 1000% recommend!!”


“Wonderful host for our dog. Took great care of her, kept us updated, was very knowledgeable about working with dogs and making them feel safe in a new environment”


“My little dog loved Katie and her family! They took excellent care of him during the Kentucky Fried Pickin event at the Holiday Inn in Owensboro. We feel very happy now that we have such a high quality place to board our dog during music events in Owensboro. We will definitely be booking with this wonderful family again!”


About: I’m a stay-at-home mom, now that my kids are getting older I’m looking to make some extra income and I absolutely love animals (of all kinds)!!! Caring for animals isn’t a “job” for me, it’s privilege and I would love to be able to give them the love and attention they need in those times when life gets busy for you. My schedule is pretty open for walks, playtime, baths and just about anything else. I currently have a giant lovable Bernese Mountain Dog and 3 cats ranging from 13 years to 1, but I’ve had many other types of pets/family members in my life too, horses, snakes, chickens etc. and am experienced with them all. Also I want to mention that I’m available for check-ins and boarding in your home too. My schedule is pretty open also including weekends and holidays. Also I am flexible to whatever time works best for you and fits in your schedule. I love taking dogs on hikes and getting them out to be in nature but fun walks around the block work too. . . .

“I can tell Gideon was in great hands and appreciate Patrick taking the request on short notice. Thank you!”


“Emily is absolutely terrific! This was our first time leaving our little guy, Waylon, to go out of town. She took him for walks and some water time at the lake. She has a Golden Retriever that was an awesome companion for Waylon to play with. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates to let us know he was doing great. Even came home to a freshly washed and blown dry pup! We would highly recommend Emily!”


About: With over 10 years of dedicated pet care experience, I offer more than just a watchful eye – I provide genuine affection and specialized attention tailored to your furry family members. What sets me apart is my comprehensive approach to pet well-being, encompassing everything from playful puppy antics to the gentle needs of senior companions. I'm highly skilled in puppy training, focusing on positive reinforcement to help your new additions develop good manners and essential obedience skills. For our older, wiser friends, I offer compassionate senior pet care, including administering medications, assisting with mobility, and providing the extra comfort and patience they deserve. Whether your pet needs a lively playmate, a comforting presence, or specialized care, you can trust that they'll receive the highest standard of attention and love in my care. I'm committed to maintaining their routine, ensuring their safety, and providing you with peace of mind. I’m currently a student enrolled at the University of Kentucky. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m willing to work with you to make things work for your fur baby. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable experience during each visit. I meticulously follow established routines, ensuring consistent feeding schedules, exercise, and medication administration as needed. I maintain a clean and secure environment, providing regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for in their own space. My goal is to minimize stress and maintain their sense of normalcy by providing familiar comforts and surroundings. Building trust with your pet is paramount. I use positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and attentive observation to understand their individual needs and personalities, ensuring they feel secure and loved throughout my visits. You can rest assured that your pet is in caring and reliable hands.

“Mallory did a great job of watching my dog. I will definitely use her again the next time I'm in the area and need help. I received lots of pictures and even a video ? He was definitely loved on and got lots of cuddles and attention ?”


About: I’ve had several animals in my lifetime. I had my late dog Lucy (terrier mix) for 17 years until her passing in 2021. I helped rescue a husky in 2013 and have recently adopted a golden retriever puppy that just finished puppy training classes! I love caring for animals and helping those on busy days who need help caring for their furry friends! I’m currently working part time and have the flexibility to come and care for animals through the week and weekends as needed! I can assist with just letting animals out for potty breaks or walks - whatever the client needs! I have a fenced in yard but also live in the country and am able to take my pup on walks a few times a week. My dog and cat are both regularly brushed and played with each day and receive adequate vet care. I also help a family with their house cleaning and lab each week and let the pup outside while they’re away.

“She is very trustworthy. Kelly loved her and her animals. Theresa kept me updated and took many pictures to assure me she was being well cared for. I recommend Theresa and plan on using her again in the future.”


About: For the past thirteen years I’ve worked professionally with animals. I started out for a year as a kennel technician. Subsequently, in the following two years I worked in a veterinary office doing general practice alongside a veterinarian. Then I advanced onward to working at the downtown Evansville all-pet emergency center for 3 years along with an additional part time role as an internal medicine veterinary technician at a neighboring company that travels here from Louisville to practice in the adjacent clinic space of the ER building. Finally, I moved upwards to lab medicine for a year and a half before transitioning to private boarding. I’ve now then for the past three years been working in private doggy daycare & overnight boarding services from my home. Doggy daycare/boarding is our full-time job. This means we are home 24/7 to take care of your fur baby( or babies). Our days start at 8:00am with individual one-on-one enrichment-focused play time in our giant, fenced-in backyard. Instead of group play that is widely expected at most daycares, we do separated play-times to ensure all pups safety while in our care. The only way they interact is if they are already a bonded pair and come for daycare or overnight boarding as a pair. Additionally, this allows us to take on dogs that would normally otherwise be kicked out of other daycares due to failing to meet group play standards. After play-time, every pup is rested one hour prior to feeding breakfast to prevent twisted stomach/bloat. Then, after eating they are rested for an additional thirty to forty-five minutes to prevent the same condition. Following this rest period, it is back to play-time or naps on our comfy futon and/or human-sized dog bed that we use just for our pups. Until dinner time around 5:00pm, we essentially allow unlimited time outside/potty breaks at your pup’s request. Come dinner time, we rest again for about an hour prior to feeding. Afterwards, everyone is in their kennels until the last potty break of the night at 10:00pm. Also, while they are in their kennels, we have multiple cameras live feeding to our phones that way they are always being supervised. We are committed to our mission of ensuring each pet’s stay is a true vacation for them and that we are their home away from home. Our fur babies have access to a large, blanketed futon couch, multiple dog beds including a human-sized dog bed to accommodate large breeds and bonded pairs, as well as multiple large rugs in front of giant 70s style windows for sunbathing. They have free rein of the home’s main floor which is specially fitted with baby gates and stocked with toys to accommodate them. During the daytime, dogs are not kenneled and have free access to the home and yard. At night, they all sleep in a kennel for safety. While sleeping, and at all while kenneled in general, all pets are captured on surveillance with an in-home camera security system that live feeds to our phones at all times. Safety is our number one priority besides fun. They have a giant, fenced-in yard to run around in with tons of squirrels and birds to chase. I am able to take care of pups of any age and size. Additionally, I am skilled with amphibians and reptiles and can accommodate requests for these types of pets too. If you have any other questions regarding safety during our meet and greet, I will be more than happy to oblige!

“I can't say enough good things about Maddy. She's truly amazing with my 4 dogs. She's known as "Nanny Maddy" to my frenchie for the last 2 years. It's clear she loves and cares for them as if they were her own. What I really appreciate is how she is active and make sure my dogs get plenty of exercise and outdoor time, which they absolutely love. I always feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care.”
