About: I have always loved animals! Booking with me will include a wonderful fun and safe day for your furry with tons of pictures and updates for you to see! I want to make any experience as smooth as possible for you and your furry friend and am more than happy to figure out details that make you feel comfortable! I have 3 years of child care experience and have helped with many pets! Growing up I was my grandmas #1 dog sitter when it came to her two Rottweilers. Anything from picking up poop and refilling the water bowl I was there to help! I am currently a college student that is in Lexington for the school year! My days are flexible and open to you and your pets needs! I love early morning walks and midday tug-of-war with your pets! If you have random hours for work or are gone all day, I can be helpful! I care for your pets with love and care! I know when pavement is too hot to walk, and the signs for a pet that needs to get back inside and hydrate! I do not have a home with crates or a fence, but I am willing to help out however I can!

“Cat was so great watching our cats for a few days on somewhat late notice. She was attentive to messages and gave frequent updates. When we came back our cats were completely unbothered by us being gone for the long weekend! Would recommend and use again.”

“Ashtin & Jenison are awesome! This is my second time booking with them to watch my cat, Duchess. I always get lots of photos and Duchess looks very happy. They even brought in a laser toy for her! They helped me out with last minute requests and also with two extensions on my last visit. They are super friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat. i will definitely book with them again!”

About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I'm a recent UofL grad and love meeting new furry friends! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and began caring for neighbors’ pets at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve had years of experience with house sitting, daily walks, and drop-in visits for neighbors and family friends, often working through word of mouth and personal recommendations. I’ve worked as both a stay-in pet sitter and a weekly dog walker, and I love making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, high-energy animals, and senior pets with special needs, and am comfortable adapting to a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and attention to care when it comes to treating animals with the patience, love, and respect they need.🩷 I am currently on my gap year between undergraduate and medical school, so pet care will be my full time job! I am able to stay the majority of the day at client's homes if needed, but may need to step out for an hour or two to get food and/or groceries for my stay. Feel free to discuss your pet's schedule with me, and we can figure out a plan that works for everyone! I always try to meet with the family before sitting or dropping-in so that I understand how any pets are used to their home feeling. I will follow all instructions left by the owners, and try to keep a loving and clean environment for the animals. I also try to be very communicative with owners about any questions or concerns, and will gladly provide daily pictures/videos of animals to the owners. I also love playing with animals and making sure they get enough activity so they can get some fresh air and love! Additionally, I am a pre-medical student and have many hours of emergency experience with basic life support (BLS) and have taken a veterinary BLS course. I know how to administer CPR and perform the Heimlich maneuver on cats and dogs. I also have experience administering injected medication and subcutaneous fluids to cats and dogs. (I do not have experience administering care to additional animals at this time.) I also look up the closest veterinary ER prior to a stay, and am prepared to drive any animals in case of an emergency.

“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.

“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.

“Sara was incredibly communicative while she watched our cat over the holidays, and we appreciated her daily updates and efforts to make our timid cat like her!”

Lynden B.

“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.”

Megan J.

“We absolutely love having Addie over to spend time and care for Wilson! Every time we head out of town, we know he'll be in excellent hands with her.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments for many years, helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I am comfortable handling energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals that need extra patience and attention. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I plan my day around the pets I care for so they receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I am also able to accommodate early morning, evening, and last-minute requests when needed. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals are always supervised and treated like part of the family. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines to keep pets comfortable. During walks and visits, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, monitoring surroundings, and giving pets the patience and care they deserve.
