Alicia is not just dog walker, she really put in the work to form a fast bond with my pup and is always looking for ways to make or keep her happy and feeling safe. I guarantee it's my pup's favorite time of day when Alicia stops by.

About: I've taken care of/had the pleasure of sharing my time with the following: dogs, cats, farm animals (horses, cows, chickens, turkeys), snakes, tarantulas and turtles. I've also cared for ill pets/pets with very specific daily routines. My wife and I currently have two loving, energetic dogs (2, 7) and three clingy cats (11, 11, 10). I'm currently very flexible with scheduling as I mostly do contract and-or gig work online. I'm available every day of the week, and generally any time requested. I'll ask questions to determine the level/frequency/type of care your pet requires, and will ask that you're specific in your requests. A meet and greet will be required, barring emergency circumstances.

About: I’ve been a go-to caretaker of pets for family, friends, and neighbors since a young age. Every animal is an individual with their own unique needs, motivations, things that bring them joy/comfort, and routines that support their wellbeing. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, horses/mules, farm animals, and some parrots. Senior and medically complex pets are some of my favorite critters to care for, and with years of dog and cat rescue under my belt, I’ve provided direct care to some animals in dire situations with confidence. I trust my ability to handle emergencies should they arise and behave in a manner that is in line with modern best practices of care. Additionally I am a sport/working dog handler and very comfortable with high drive breeds like shepherds, collies, and heelers. My daily life is dedicated to the wellbeing of my personal animals. Their enrichment and comfort is an utmost priority. At least once a week I go on outings away from our 6 acre property to get the dogs in new places and work on their training/getting to do fun things (I.e. going to the river, training at big box stores, joining a friend for a meal at a restaurant or park). The dogs are trained several days a week but also allowed time to just be dogs and goof around. Our cats are indoor-outdoor and live full and social lives. Our rabbit is a house rabbit seasonally, meaning she’s outside when the weather is nice, and inside to hang with the cats in the winter. She gets grass time and lots of back porch time where she can be her wild self. I will maintain your pet’s routine to the best of my ability, and they will be cared for to their unique preferences depending on their needs, wants and daily rhythms. Frequent potty breaks or litter box cleanings, access to fresh water in clean bowls, checking bowel movements and keeping up with medications, play time, walks, maybe an outing if possible, and appropriate rest periods to promote balance and wellbeing. Dogs in my care are transported via safety crates (ruffland) to greater ensure safety should we get into an accident, this also prevents issues with any animals that might be escape artists or destructive when left unattended or get bored easily. I travel with first aid materials on hand and work closely with several local veterinary practices who provide varied levels of care, from minor cuts/scrapes, to emergency events.

About: Spent whole life with dogs and cats. Am owner of service dog and work consistently with him daily; therefore, I can participate in any training your pet may be involved in. I am confident with all pets of all ages and happy to take care of your dogs and cats. I am certified cat and dog CPR/First Aid. I am EKU student on summer break so my current schedule is wide open. I plan to continue offering pet care services when school starts up again in the Fall. I have a large, well-fenced yard for your dog to play in, with a few nice shade trees as well. Love taking dogs for walks and our neighborhood is perfect for walking dogs. Dogs can also come inside to enjoy AC if it’s too hot outside. My dog + I are happy to come to your home also, to care for your pets.

About: I spent my college years working at kennels for cats and dogs. I’ve also been known to house sit for friends with multiple dogs, cats, bunnies, and chickens. I work part time at Frito Lay. I write full time (and take the occasional class). I travel a lot with work but keep a flexible schedule. I’m mostly interested in Drop In visits but will consider walks if a meet and greet goes well. Please don’t ask for an email or phone number outside Rover.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds-from farm animals to small pets like rabbits and hamsters, and of course, cats and dogs of all sizes. With years of experience and a lifelong love for animals, I’m ready to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. I understand how important your furbabies are, and I’d love to provide them with reliable, loving care. I’m an active college student at Eastern Kentucky University! I have classes three days a week, with breaks between them, leaving plenty of time to care for your precious furbabies. I’d love to provide them with the attention and love they deserve. I would love to shower your pets with love and attention! I always follow any rules you provide for food, treats, or routines. For dogs, I enjoy giving them plenty of time outside when the weather permits, and I am happy to take them on walks. I’m also more than willing to get on the floor and play with any pets who want interaction. I follow instructions carefully and make it a point to leave your home tidy, taking care of any messes your pets might make along the way.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was able and have worked in multiple areas of animal health care. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I care for them as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets consistent attention and care. Because animals are already a central part of my life, caring for additional pets fits in seamlessly and never feels rushed. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow all care instructions carefully, maintain routines, and prioritize safety, comfort, and enrichment. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates while you’re away.

Selah has been an absolute blessing to work with. She is kind, reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. From the very first interaction, it was clear that she approaches her work with intention, patience, and compassion. My dog, Sable, was always well cared for and comfortable in her presence, which meant a great deal to me. Selah was respectful of schedules, attentive to details, and carried herself with a warm, trustworthy spirit. I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet with true care and integrity. God bless you, Selah, and thank you for everything.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. All my fur babies have been trained by me. if you have a puppy that is still in training I have no problem with that. we have all been there. I worked for a year at a local animal rescue. Where I was able to strengthen my knowledge on behavioral training and pet health. I am a college student and am free lot of the time but class are during the day. So breaks away from your fur babies might be longer during the semester. My top priority is to make sure your animals are safe and secondly happy. This means checking on not only your fur babies but also your house to make sure there are no new problems arise. Checking off the to-do list is numbee one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.

About: I love all kind of animals! Every time I see a dog I always ask to pet the dog! I feel like I have a special connection with animals, they're so loving and always understand what you're going through. Animals show the love they are given. I will follow whatever is needed for your pet. I can be high energy which is perfect for anyone with a hyper dog, puppy, or kitten. But, I can also be low energy for those older or more shy pets. I am in the seasonal work, so as we are entering the winter months i am not working full time. That means I will have extra time to hang with your fur babies! I will be available to accommodate whatever needs to be ! My top priority is to make sure your animals are safe and secondly happy. This means checking on not only your fur babies but also your house to make sure there are no new problems arise. Checking off the to-do list is number one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.

About: My family has always had dogs in the home since I was 6. I’ve had my two dogs for the past 5 years, one of them is 5 and the other is a 12 year old rescue. I have experience with potty and crate training. I am a SAHM which allows me to give our pets as much attention as possible. I’m home for feedings, potty breaks, and daily walks. I do not have a fenced in yard, my dogs do a good job of staying within our property limits. However I also have different leashes to go out with them.

Mount Sterling, KY, 40353

About: I have lived with a variety of animals my whole life, and began regularly taking care of family and friends' dog and cats when I was 17. I am very attentive to the needs and body language of both dogs and cats, and adapt well to their unique behaviors and routines. I have experience with aloof/aggressive pets, senior pets, and young pets 6 months or older. I only work a couple days a week so I am comfortable with providing constant care to pets who cannot be left alone. I like to operate on a schedule so I am good about keeping up with bathroom breaks, feeding times, medications, etc. I am consistently available to care for your pets Sunday-Wednesday, and may frequently be available Thursday-Saturday as well (I do my best to update my calendar appropriately as far in advance as possible). I will request information about your pet's personality and care requirements prior to meeting with you. I ask that you allow me to meet your pet outside under your supervision before the stay begins, for both mine and your pet's safety and comfort.

About: I've had at least four dogs as long as I can remember. As a child, they were my first companions and my second caretakers. Even as I grew into an adult, they were always there to comfort me and to brighten the darkest of days. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I am eager to give back what they so willingly give; love, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and joy. In the last two years, I have gone from four dogs to one, due to Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure, and I must admit that their absence has affected me deeply. I miss them so so so much!! I'm one of those people that celebrated their dog's birthdays and bought them copious presents for Christmas. While my friends were pulling out their family pics, I was always pulling out my dog pics. I share this same sentiment towards birds, rabbits, and cats; all of which I had growing up. Being surrounded by animals as a child was a great experience. It even prompted me to volunteer at the ASPCA for almost a year. As I hope you can tell, I will not only provide what your pet needs to survive, but I will also provide him/her with special attention and love. I look forward to meeting with both you and your pet! Until then, take care! I will be able to fulfill any house/pet sitting duties without any issues, as I am able to balance my obligations responsibly and with respect to myself and those that hire me. While pet/house sitting, I will abide the rules given to me. This could include when they play, where they sleep, any medications needed, when to eat, etc.

About: Greetings, valued customers, my name is Jordan. I appreciate you viewing my profile to get to know me a little better. I kindly ask that you read my profile in ENTIRETY so you have a better understanding to determine if we are a great fit and for detailed scheduling information down below. I look forward to hearing from you and I'm delighted to be here for all your animal care needs. I have cared for fish, dogs, cats, parrots and other birds, bearded dragons, snakes, chickens, goats, bunnies, doves, mini horses, pigs, other farm animals, and other reptiles, amphibians and exotic animals. I have been offering animal care services for eight years, and I completely love and enjoy doing it. The love that animals have for humans is an incredible thing to experience. Caring for animals makes my life so much more meaningful, and I love doing it for people who need my services. Also, knowing that people need my animal care services, fulfills my passion for helping others in life. I love and enjoy being of service to others, and it makes me so happy to be able to do so. I'm currently working as an RBT (Registered Behavioral Technician) (I work with people with autism and help them better adapt to everyday life), and I work with Rover as a petsitter as well. If you contact me for a lenghty petsit, I am able to ask off work with no complications (with more than a 2 week notice), however if you are in need of a speedy petsit, I can work with your schedule (but I may have to work a few hours during the day on week days, with no complications). My Rover calender will reflect my availability will continually be updated. Please check the calender before reaching out. Thank you for your understanding. I prefer going to a client's house to take care of their animals in a familiar environment, along with a detailed list of instructions of do's and dont's for their pet. Instructions on animal care are to ensure the animal's safety when they are with me, without me needing to unnecessarily contact and bother the owner while they are away. Also, a general list of outdoor activities I can do with the pet is welcome. For example, if I can take the pet hiking, to the park, for walks, etc. Also, does your pet get along with other animals, children, or people well, and does your pet get car sick? These variables are essential information for me to know to ensure the best care while you are away. My passion is pets, and I want to ensure your pets are comfortable and safe with me, so I highly encourage more than enough information on caring for your babies. Please note if your location is 40 miles, plus, in distance from my Rover given location, I charge for milage, for the traveling/distance in the initial reservation contact message for meet and greets. I will send you a new quote to your initial request for these changes in price due to milage charges. Thank you for understanding this policy.

About: I have had animals my whole life and love them!! I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I care for them along with many animals of my friends and family. I have a wide variety of experience from all sizes, breeds, and ages. I promise to love your animal just as they were mine:) I am a nursing student at EKU and I am just looking for something that will allow me to balance my school schedule as well. I have a pretty open schedule except for Tuesday’s and Thursdays which I am not available from 8:00am-4:00pm due to classes. I am not able to be at home with my animals so why not accompany the ones around me😊 I pretty much do whatever the client wants me to do or what the animal is used to. I do not crate my animals at home due to someone always being in the household with them but am understanding of any demands or routines.
