About: I have taken care of my own current dog, Mack, since I was 12. I've had several other family dogs in the past that I have helped raise and train as well, I've taken care of other people's animals before, and I have always truly loved all animals. ❤️ I love to walk dogs, or cats! I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet at any point this summer! I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby. I love him so much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me happy, and so I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too.
“We are beyond thankful for Emily, taking care of our cat and dog for an extended holiday weekend! She was great with communication, updates, and was flexible with some additional sudden needs when our dog was sick right before Emily was scheduled to take care of her.

About: At 20 years old, I've got a huge passion for animals and a knack for making them feel right at home. Whether it's playful pups, curious cats, or elderly pets, I create a fun and loving environment where your furry friends can thrive. With me, they'll get all the attention and care they deserve, ensuring they have an amazing stay! 🐾 I’m currently working from home/ part time in Louisville Kentucky, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur babies during their stay! I have two friendly dogs, and two friendly cats to keep your fur babies company! I have a front yard, it’s not enclosed, so anytime we’re outside it would be on a harness/leash!
“Sarah did a great job watching our girls. We booked her on short notice, and she catered to my needs when I requested she keep her dogs separate from mine. They had fresh water, a large yard, and automatic water feeder. You couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend Sarah when booking your pets.”
About: I will give them the time and attention that they deserve, and if there's any types of training or exercises that need to be done I am willing to learn. My schedule is opened up quite a bit so I'm just doing some doordashing on the side so I'm more than available and capable of spending time with your fur babies. And giving Then the time and attention that they need. I'm also up for meeting beforehand if you need. You just give me all of the requirements of what your fur baby needs and wants are and I will follow any boundaries set for your place or mine.
