Pet Sitting Gardenside-Colony

About: I am currently a small animal veterinarian licensed in both Kentucky and Georgia, but have been in the veterinary medical field since 2009, starting out as a vet assistant. While I have enjoyed helping animals throughout my veterinary career, I have decided to step away from the long, demanding hours of clinical medicine in order to have a better work-life balance so that I can spend more time with my family. Pet sitting allows me to continue doing what I love, which is caring for animals. As a veterinarian, I have worked with all ages and breeds of dogs and cats, and I am comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with special medical needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a senior with more in depth needs, my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of attention so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or help with a pet who needs a little extra time and attention, I'd love to meet you and your best friend! I look forward to helping your pet stay happy, healthy, and stress-free while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a veterinarian transitioning away from full-time clinical practice to create more time for my family, I now have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or medication administration, I can easily build my schedule around each pet's individual needs. Caring for animals has always been more than just my profession, it's something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.

“Sarah was great with our two dogs! They warmed up to her very quickly. She kept them comfortable and entertained while we were away. It was a perfect first experience for us!”

Rebekah T.

“My two cats did great under Kara’s care and her communications were wonderful — lots of pictures. She was willing to do all I asked. Glad I found her profile.”

Gretchen B.

“Elisa was fabulous with our Mr. Henry and went above and beyond for what was asked of her. She did 2 drop-ins for us a day and always sent pictures and was always running on schedule. SHE'S HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

Jason P.

“Olivia was great. She gave the pups all the lovings while I was away. She sent pics and was great at communicating. The pups loved her. Will definitely use again!”

Mackenzie T.

“This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky that Morgan visited my puppy. She was very nice, on time, and took great care of my puppy. She also cleaned up his mess, which I really appreciated. Thank you for everything!”

J D.

“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”

Margot D.

“She was great and took great care of my puppy when I was nervous about leaving her. She was very thorough and sent lots of updates and pictures.”

Michaella T.

“Amber was fantastic! She was very communicative while watching our cats and sent some incredible photos every time she visited. Our cats got all of the care we could hope for and we will definitely have amber care for our cats again!”

Savannah S.

“Catherine was amazing with my two elderly cats! I have a lot of anxiety about leaving them alone, especially since one of them needs an injected medication with his meals. Catherine was consistently communicative and is clearly a conscientious pet caregiver. Both cats warmed up to her very quickly and were very well taken care of while I was away.”

Mireille P.

“Martha did a drop in visit to let my dog out while I was at work, and she was amazing! Very communicative and took the cutest pics of my pup!”

Sydney A.

“Lindsey was great about communicating, agreed to set up a meet and greet and had good availability for that, and took good care of our kitty while we were gone. She was able to handle giving a pill. Thanks, Lindsey!”

Sarah M.

“Kim was absolutely awesome. She did a great job and made our out of town trip worry free. I can’t thank her enough for all that she did. She even took our trash down for weekly pickup! Way above and beyond and I can’t recommend her enough. Thanks!”

R. Shawn H.

“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”

Megan M.

“Ellie was GREAT! She was prompt, stayed for the agreed time and gave our "kids" lots of belly rubs! We will certainly be using her services again to look after our furry kiddos! Thanks Ellie!”

John B.

“Avery is the best!”

Chris Corey J.

“We booked last minute on a holiday week. Rachel was so reliable and took great care of our cat Bubba. She took daily pictures and gave us thorough updates. It really helped not to worry about our pet on last minute travel.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and some medical conditions. For the last 3 years, I have been the sitter of choice for my friends and family looking for pet care while out of town. I specialize in basic dog care and training, but also love taking care of cats as well! At home, I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I am currently a full time student at the University of Kentucky. You can expect early morning visits and afternoon visits if requested every day of the week. I can also offer midday visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In your home, I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I will ensure they are fed on time and given plenty of time for social interactions and potty breaks/walks. I will do everything I can to ensure your instructions are followed as best as possible.

About: I have over 19 years of experience. I can help with Pet Walking and Pet Sitting. Over the years I have cared for (and loved .. and certainly have been loved by!) many dogs and cats (and other pets).. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets. Thank you .. I am excited to care for your pet (s) next! I love and treat your pets as though they are my own. I always like to spend as much time as possible your pets, whether the pets parents are working during the day, or the family is on vacation. Whether you prefer your dog (s) walked and/or playing in the yard-- or just a potty break and quality indoors playtime/hangout time... I'm excited to help; I am also available for overnight visits, if that's something you're interested in for your pets. I enjoy it, and it really bonds me with them (obviously the more time spent with them, the more comfortable the pets are with you). I love cats, too! Fish, you name it. I am new to the area, and looking to continue doing what I've done for 20 + years: My time is very flexible (*especially now just getting started) and prices are flexible. I like to spend as much time as possible with the pets! I am certainly willing to spend a lot of time with them. Excited to become fast friends with your pets! I do not live alone-- so I have always cared for pets in the client's home (or other friends and family) ... I will do whatever the client wants, and stick as close to the routine as possible; Dog walks, and/or playing with dogs inside the house (and in yards), and caring for cats inside the home are perfect. I am more than happy to adapt and do what pet parents ask, and love them as much as possible until they are back in your care.

“Erin was great! She responded quickly to my last minute appointment request, and was happy to help. Her communication before, during and after the drip-in with Willow was superb. I was anxious leaving this morning because Willow had not been left alone up to this point. Erin definitely helped put my mind at ease, and I got to see Willow having a nice day from the pictures. I will keep Erin as my first choice contact for sure.”
