Dog Walking Idle Hour

“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”

“Joni is amazing! My dog has a lot of energy and Joni walks her daily. Joni is fantastic at communicating throughout the day and always makes an effort to ensure that both my dog and I are more than happy with how things are going.”

“Mackenzie has been really great. Bruno is enjoying his walks with her.”

About: I have taken care of pets for friends, family, and my own for over 30 years. I foster for the Cavalier Rescue USA and find fostering very rewarding. I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I work full-time but can do drop-ins in the evening during weekdays, on the weekends my availability is flexible. I do require a meet and greet before confirming a booking. Boarding in my home is possible with cat-friendly dogs. Overnight stays and boarding will be considered upon request. I live in a townhouse with an amazing courtyard. My cat loves to hang out and lay in the sun and relax. She loves to hide in the areas of the courtyard that have large plants. The area in Lexington where I live has great sidewalks and greenspace, thus a great place for exercise for your dog should they board with me.

“Sarah was great! She was prompt in her communication and got in a good distance for the walk. I’m sure Mo had a great time! Will be a repeat!”

About: Ready for tail wags and endless fun! Having raised my own pups for over a decade, I’ve experienced it all—from the wild puppy phases to the sweet senior years. I know exactly how to keep animals engaged, safe, and thoroughly entertained. Your dog will get all the playtime, attention, and expert care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because my schedule is highly flexible! Whether I am hanging out with cats or walking dogs, my open availability allows me to easily match your pet's established routine. I can accommodate early morning feedings, mid-day potty breaks, high-energy afternoon play, or late-night cuddles. Because I am so adaptable, I can quickly adjust to whatever timeline your pets need to stay happy, comfortable, and stress-free Whether at my home or yours, I focus on safety and mimicking your pet's normal routine. In your home, I strictly follow your rules, keep litter boxes pristine, walk dogs on their usual routes, and secure your property. In my home, I provide a fully pet-proofed, welcoming environment where cats and dogs get dedicated attention, structured playtime, and their own safe spaces to rest comfortably.

“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”

About: *Prior to sending a booking request, please be aware that I work 8:30AM to 5:30PM M-F. If this does not work for your pet’s needs, please do not send a request* When you book with me, I COME TO YOU! Your pets will never have to leave the place they know and love. I know leaving your fur babies is difficult, so I make it a point to respond to all messages almost instantly when I am not working my regular 8:30am-5:30pm job, and within 1-2 hours when I am at work. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all ages and love them as my own! I request detailed instructions on feeding and any other important details to be sent via message or written at your home. My weekends and nights after work stay flexible: sometimes I am gone for a couple hours to visit friends, but if a pre-set plan with my friends is intended to take more than 3 hours, I will ensure you are aware ahead of time so we can determine whether I am the best fit for your pets. I only pet sit in the client's home as I believe animals feel safer in an environment they know and trust. I also live in a small space where I cannot have more than my one dog, so bringing more animals home is not an option.

“Sofie was very sweet with my dog and respectful of the house.”

“Julie is the best. She took very good care of our senior dogs, particularly when one was very ill. She understands dog behavior and how to deal with various dog personalities, which is comforting when you are leaving your loved ones with others. My dog gets very excited when she arrives. She had a big heart, and I could not recommend her more.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages for over 15 years. With two pups of my own, I’m well familiar with all stages of dog life from puppyhood to senior dogs. I’d love to live on your couch potato or take your active pup on a sensory walk to tire them out. I sit regularly for dogs and cats and even the occasional horse and goat! I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I specialize in morning or mid-afternoon drop-in or walks and can accommodate some evenings and weekends as needed. I love using walks as a way to get outside and happy to take them out in all the weather! I am very detail oriented and flexible so I’m happy to adapt to your pets individual needs or routine. I treat each animal with dignity and respect.

“This was our first experience with Rover and with Connor. It was an amazing experience. Connor did everything and more that I asked. He communicated with us frequently and had initiative in offering to do extra things for our dogs while we were away. When we arrived home, all 3 dogs were calm and content. We will definitely use Connor for our next pet need.”

“Jordan was great. She was also EXTREMELY accommodating. My other dog walker fell through, so it was very last minute. But she was able to help me out. I will definitely use her again.”

Katherine R.

“Kara truly cared about my dog and his well being. I would trust her to come in my home/hotel and care for my dog, anytime im in the area. She understood what was needed and his needs. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter/dog walker!!”

“Ariel did a great job! Lots of communication and attention to detail. Plus a get acquainted visit with Waldo to make sure they were a good fit!”

About: Ever since I was a baby I have had a dog in my household. As soon as I could get a dog of my own I got Bentley, my German Shepherd/Coon Hound mix. I adopted him at only 6 weeks old back in 2020. Growing up neighbors would ask me to cat sit when they were on vacation which included changing litter, feeding, and playing with the cat daily. Additionally, I have been asked to help walk dogs and to house sit in the past! I live in the Hamburg area and work full time at the University of Kentucky. My traditional work hours are 8am-5pm M-F with an hour lunch break. I would be willing to carve out time in my lunch to walk or care for pets. I do not work weekends, and have the most availability to care for pets during that time! I am extremely trustworthy and will abide by any rules you have for your fur baby. I am experienced with crating, and have no concerns with helping to put your animal back in a crate after caring for it. My fur baby, Bentley, is also extremely dog friendly so if your animal needs socialization with another, I could provide that! Unfortunately, due to the nature of my living environment I cannot board myself as I live in an apartment.

“Paige was excellent. Very professional and easy to work with, we will be using her again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and truly enjoy caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities.

I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I also genuinely enjoy house sitting and take pride in keeping a home clean and well cared for! My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you're gone. I am currently finishing my current job and will be available to take on pet care bookings full-time until I start school in September. Once school begins, I’ll still be available before and after my classes (9–4:30 weekdays) as well as on weekends. I’m flexible and committed to providing dependable, loving care and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am committed to providing the best care for your pets and your home. I will follow all routines and instructions you provide to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. By the end of your trip, I hope to be your pet’s new best friend!

“Kaylee was amazing with my pups! She responded very quickly, was punctual, and they loved walking with her! I will definitely be booking with her again!”
