About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).
About: I have always had pets growing up, and have taken care of countless pets of all species, breeds, ages, and sizes for friends/family since high school. I love the challenge of winning over an animal that is hesitant around new people. The more stubborn they are to warm up to new people, the harder I try to win them over. But it is always at their pace and on their terms so that they are completely comfortable with me. Your pets will be loved and spoiled like they are my own. I am available during the nights for in-home pet sitting, with the option to pop in during the day to let your pet out and for feedings. When I care for pets in their own home I make sure that the pet owners show me where everything is located within the home for the animals, and leave emergency numbers such as vets in an accessible place in the case of emergency. I will take as much time with your pets as they need in order to be comfortable and well provided for.
“Elmira did an excellent job caring for my kitten. She was respectful of my space, took great pics of him, played with him even at his feistiest, and was willing to trouble shoot issues with my auto litterbox. Would definitely recommend her to sit your babies!”

About: Animals have basically been my whole world for as long as I can remember. I grew up around them through my grandpa’s veterinary work and time spent on a working farm, so caring for animals feels second nature to me. I have over 25 years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. At home, I’m fully in my “dog mom era” with my own two pups who I absolutely adore! We snuggle daily, go on walks together, and they’re a huge part of my life. I naturally connect with animals on a really intuitive level and honestly tend to bond with them faster than people most of the time. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and everything in between, including feeding routines, administering basic care, and recognizing behavior changes. I’m patient, calm, and very attentive to detail, which helps animals feel safe and relaxed with me quickly. What sets me apart is that this isn’t just a service for me, it’s something I genuinely love. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little pack, and I focus on making sure they feel loved, understood, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I already live and breathe animals. As a pet parent myself, caring for dogs and cats is part of my everyday routine like feeding, walks, playtime, snuggles, and keeping a close eye on their moods and needs. I structure my day in a way that makes it easy to be consistent and dependable for pet care bookings. I’m flexible and organized, so I can plan around visits, walks, or check-ins without rushing or cutting corners. I’m used to early mornings, midday care, and evening routines, so I’m comfortable adjusting to whatever schedule a pet needs. Because of my background growing up around animals on a farm and learning hands-on care through my grandpa’s veterinary work, being attentive to animals feels second nature. I’m always already thinking about things like hydration, comfort, enrichment, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed. Overall, pet care isn’t something I “fit in” as much as it’s something I naturally build my day around, it’s just part of how I live. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home, my priority is always making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. In the owner’s home, I follow their routine as closely as possible so pets feel secure and stress-free. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, litter box care, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as provided. I also take time to bond with each pet at their own pace, whether that means energetic play, calm companionship, or quiet space while they warm up to me. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, cozy, and supervised environment where they can relax and feel part of the household. I maintain their normal routines, provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and snuggles (if they want them!), and make sure they feel safe and cared for at all times. With over 25 years of animal care experience and a lifetime around pets through farm life and veterinary influence, I’m very attentive to behavior, comfort, and health cues. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel understood, secure, and genuinely cared for.

“Olivia responded super fast to an emergency request where our dog Marley had broken out of our outdoor run while we had to drive out of town and would not be back until after 9pm. Olivia did a drop in visit and was able to get Marley and put her up for me in the dark of the night at a moments notice! Truly a LIFESAVER!! Cannot thank her enough!”
