About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life! All of my dogs have been raised by me since birth, and I easily fall for puppy dog eyes I’m currently a college student back home for summer break with a ton of extra time! I’m looking to keep my schedule busy helping others around and near me. I treat any animal I see or visit as if they were my own!! I have so much love for every fur baby out there.

“Angelee was fantastic with our pets! It was my first time leaving them and I loved the pics and video updates. It made the trip more enjoyable knowing they were being taken care of and loved on while we were gone. Thank you so much!”


“Libby eased all my worries while I was away for a music festival in Chicago! My usually reserved cat let Libby give her pets! She even brushed my dog and followed my complicated steps to get my house key 😅 sorry! But thank you so much Libby!”


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!

“I would highly recommend Dave C. He instantly connected with my rescue Dalton who suffers from separation anxiety. I could tell right away that Dave was a gentle soul who loves animals. When I got home Dalton was giving Dave lots of attention instead of me like he normally would. Dalton was happy & that made me happy. I’ll definitely be hiring him again.”


About: I’ve grown up on farms my whole life, surrounded by cows, dogs, and other animals. This hands-on experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and care. I’m patient, reliable, and can confidently manage daily routines, feeding, and general care. I'm a third-year pharmacy student who goes on daily walks and runs, so incorporating pet care into my routine isn’t a problem at all. I’m active, responsible, and looking for something meaningful to do in my free time. Caring for pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle and gives me a chance to spend time doing something I truly enjoy. Due to college housing restrictions, I’m currently unable to have dogs in my own home. However, I’m frequently around them and often care for and walk my boyfriend’s dogs at his home. This has allowed me to stay comfortable and confident with handling pets in a home environment.

About: Hello! I am Haleigh, I have always had a love for animals and grew up around plenty. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets plus caring for friends and families over the years. I love taking daily walks and my job allows me to have down time to do so. I am also wanting to try pet sitting as I have done so in the past. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I am open to help in anyway with your fur baby and am excited to meet them. I work from home with a flexible job allowing me to have plenty of time for your pets! I also have availability on the weekends. I live in an apartment but it does have plenty of trails to walk. It is a dog friendly place. I don’t have any pets in the home currently so that could be helpful to pups that aren’t pet friendly.

About: Hello! It has been a joy taking care of others' pets from the age of 14. Friends, family, and their pets love and trust me. I have an old dog and 2 cats but am free after feeding/walking/checking on them twice daily. Also I am currently in job market/attending interviews. I am an excellent dog-walker and provider of enrichment, as well as an expert litter box cleaner. All your pets would be safe and happy.

“Hallie was AMAZING!! She took care of my baby like it was her own. I got lots of updates and she even took my dog out for a nice long walk, with permission. She did great with my dog who is known to be a bit anxious. I will definitely be using Hallie again for future dog sitting!! I couldn't recommend her enough!”


About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding. Here I have learned how to bathe, nail trim, read body language, and deeply care about these furry friends. I work with all kinds of dogs, ranging in size/breed and age. I also have owned dogs my whole life, as have my friends, which I pet sit for frequently. My availability is fairly open. I can be more specific with the pet parents as we connect, in order to find something that works great for both of us. I do not offer services within my home, as I live in an apartment downtown. However I will follow any instructions given diligently. I have experience in reading dog's body language, which will give me insight into what I need to do and how to keep the pup safe.

About: I grew up with pets but once I moved to college in 2016 I started pet sitting often as a side gig and now I pet sit and house sit almost every other weekend for my friends who go out of town. —I’ve sat up to 3 dogs before -from pop ins to 10 day long house/pet sittings -from rescued dogs to puppies -pet sat cats too I work for a ministry on UK’s campus so I have flexible hours. I do not have any set days or times but am willing to pick up help when needed with enough notice! I do whatever is most comfortable for the owners! I crate when needed or snuggle them when they need it! I’m ready to take them on walks or let them run around outside!

“This is the second time we have had Brooke watch out animals and house sit. She took good care of our pets and home. She communicates well with any questions or concerns. Would highly recommend!”

Brooklyn B.
“Brooklyn has a natural connection with dogs and thrives in their company. She lights up when dogs are around and is always eager to engage with them, whether on walks, at the park, or just passing by in public. What sets her apart is her deep interest in each dog’s individual personality, she takes the time to observe and understand their unique behaviors, quirks, and needs. This allows her to build trust and communicate with them in a calm, comforting, and respectful way. Acts quick when chaos may occur. approaches every animal with a loving heart and a gentle hand. She’s not just a dog lover, she’s incredibly responsible, patient, and attentive, always making sure the dogs she cares for feel safe, seen, and happy.”

Teagan was fantastic with my pups! Kept me updated, multiple photos, multiple videos - was there when she said she'd be and kept them entertained while I was away. This was all on an impromptu trip that was scheduled, so she was quick to get back to me and help! Will definitely be using her again.

Emma did a phenomenal job taking care of my two babies while I was way. She was very attentive to the instructions and asked great questions. She is very knowledgeable on how to take care of animals & my dogs loved her! She even sent progress pictures every day and my dogs looked incredibly happy. I will absolutely be requesting her services again when I need my pets to be taken care of.

David has sat for our dog twice now and he has been excellent each time. He is great about communicating with us and provides wonderful care for our dog. He always makes sure he does all the quirky things our dog needs and is very patient and friendly with him.

Stephanie watched our dog and three cats over Christmas and did an excellent job! She was very attentive to our pets needs and communicated well with us all week. She went above and beyond, even deep cleaning the pets’ water dishes. We could tell she really prioritized our girls when she was here. She left the house spotless! We will definitely consider booking her in the future!
