“Sandra was available for two different days when I messaged her about taking my dog Tucker for a walk. I gave her instructions and she asked me clarifying questions to make sure she knew what my expectations were. Tucker loves her and gets very excited when she comes in the door. I would recommend her to anyone.”


About: I have had experience with caring for animals my whole life. I have experience training puppies and older dogs as well. I am well experienced with senior dogs! I also have experience in grooming/bathing different breeds of dog, if that is something you would be interested in. I am experienced with cats, horses, guinea pigs and a variety of reptiles. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for several cats and dogs. I have also completed veterinary science/ animal science classes to learn more about animals in general. Over time I notice that animals sense people, most animals love me and sense that I am a genuine, caring person right off the bat. I don’t have a very busy schedule. I am not employed, so I have a lot of time to care for your fur babies. I am an online student at NKU. So I do all of my school work at home! I have a large fenced in area in the back of my yard. I have large/medium/small kennels if needed for boarding. I will spend a lot of pictures too!

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young! Professionally, I have worked with an animal rescue, as well as, a kennel attendant/care taker at a doggie daycare. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, and have worked with rescued dogs who have some of the worst backgrounds. I’m willing to work with any animal! Even if they may have behavioral issues, I love all animals and love to work and build bonds! I am currently a full time college student, however my busiest days are only Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am very flexible and am free to communicate a schedule that will help you and your pet(s)! With working at a rescue and doggy daycare, I’ve come to learn many things about animal and care taker safety. I will follow any and all instructions as written and in the event of an issue I will notify you immediately. I always try to read the room with any pet before I crate/feed/let them outside, just in case they may become uncomfortable. I refuse to let any pet feel like they need to protect themself from me, so I will remove myself in the event a pet may bite and contact you right away!

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.

About: I am a certified professional dog trainer through CCPDT and use positive reinforcement, force-free methods with all of my services. My goal as a pet professional is to make my time with your pets fun, exciting and productive! From pet retail, to doggie daycare, to my very own dog training business, I have been working as a professional in the pet industry for over 8 years. Currently, I have two dogs, two cats and a ball python and have owned many other exotics in the past. I have volunteered with retired racing Greyhound adoption for years by transporting, fostering and adopting them into their forever homes. I look forward to adding more pets and their owners to the awesome family I've created through my training and boarding business! Ask about adding private training sessions to your dog's stay. Being a self-employed dog trainer, I am committed full-time to the pets in my care. Occasionally, when noted, I will have to step out for an in-home dog training lesson or walk, but I am able to return promptly, within 1-2 hours. I have a secure, privacy fenced backyard with cold water bowls, shade, raised dog beds, and toys to climb and play on. We love to pull out the puppy pool or sprinkler on hot summer days! Please note, dogs are never left unattended while out. If dogs must be left unattended for a short time, I have a fully suited up kennel room complete with a TV (to play cartoons or music), comfy blankets and cool AC or warm heat. For safety purposes, boarders will sleep overnight and enjoy their meals in their crates. I am a self-employed business owner, and dog training and pet care is my full-time job. My schedule is very flexible, as nearly all of my time is spent working with dogs, pets and my clients. Dogs will be crated for safety anytime they cannot be actively supervised, as well as during mealtimes. I have a fully suited, cozy kennel room in my home with heat/AC, music and a TV for comfort, plus a camera recording video footage for additional safety. My home is proofed, and my backyard has a secure 6.5ft privacy fence. Dogs will never be left unsupervised in the home or yard.

About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and seasoned seniors. As a full-time sitter, your dog will get my full attention with frequent walks, fun adventures, and plenty of love and playtime in my yard. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and right at home—because when they’re with me, they’re part of the family. As someone who stays home full-time and only works a few days a week, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to give each pet personalized attention—whether that means morning walks, medication schedules, playtime in the yard, or just cozy companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone or on a tight schedule—they’ll be part of a calm, loving home where their needs come first. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your pet’s familiar environment to reduce stress. I stick to their usual schedule, including meals, medications, and playtime, while providing companionship and supervision. Whether at your home or mine, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I am a current Pre-Veterinary student and I absolutely love all animals. I promise to take good care of your animal(s) and love them as if they were mine. I have 7 years of experience in dog and cat sitting. I also have a year experience as a Kennel Attendant at a doggy daycare service. I am currently only working part time on Tuesday and Thursday so I will have plenty of time to play with and spend time with your animals! I can work with you on how to care for your pup and will follow all directions. I am flexible about playing inside and outside with your pup and will ensure they get the time with me that you want.

About: As an experienced pet and house sitter, I strive to take the best care of all your animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals throughout their whole lifespan. I promise to care for your animals like I would care for my own, pampering them and giving them the best care whether it be during a walk or a drop-in visit. While in high school, I worked as a vet tech at a local clinic and was trained to give medication, clip nails, & give baths. Personally, I have cared for animals with complex medical needs and am a nurse, which allows me to recognize acute changes in your babies.My goal is always to make sure your pets are cared for the way you would care for them, so that you don’t have to worry while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets & I cannot wait to love on them like you would. I have taken some time off for my full-time job, allowing me to care for your pets all hours of the day through July 14. After July 14, I will be available to love on your babies in the evenings and the weekends. When I am in your home, you can expect me to be respectful of your space and your animals. I always ensure that I leave a space better than I found it, accounting for safety of your pets and your home.

About: I've been working with dogs since I was 9 years old. It started at a summer camp located at my local shelter and at home with our own dogs. At 18 I helped foster 2-week-old kittens that were born in our front yard and abandoned by their mom. I have worked with many different dogs and have been house sitting since I was 16 years old with different types of dogs and different care levels, from needing to give elderly dogs medication to hyper puppies who need lots of play time. I fit in Pet care into my daily routine by waking up at a specific time every morning to take care my own dog out for a morning potty break, then it is breakfast time, then an hour after is a morning walk, after I have lunch is a shorter afternoon walk and before dinner is an evening walk, with several potty breaks scattered reasonably every 3 hours to make sure. Sometimes I take my own dog on small hikes or to the dog park to get some more socialization in. Outside of my hobbies and schooling pet care is my life. This does depend on what I am hired for, if I am hired for potty breaks and play time then I do just that, I arrive at the home, let the dog out to go potty, take a walk play with some toys. If I am housesitting, then I follow the schedule the owners have their dogs on as to not disrupt the dog's stability.

About: As someone who has cherished animals my entire life, I know firsthand how much your furriest family member(s) mean to you—and how essential it is to find someone who will care for them with the same love and devotion you do. I also understand the stress that can come with entrusting their care to someone else. That’s why I’m committed to working closely with you to provide tailored care, companionship, and clear communication, ensuring both you and your pet feel safe, happy, and at peace. I bring experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful youngsters to wise seniors—along with expertise in administering medications and supporting animals with special needs. Whether I’m dropping in, house-sitting, taking your pup for a walk or checking in on another fur baby, I’ll treat your little one like family. You can count on me for regular updates and photos, while your pet enjoys playtime, gentle massages, and plenty of cuddles—everything I’d want for my own. Note: I’m no longer able to offer boarding services. One of my own sweet boys is getting up in years—he’s a little more fragile, and a little less patient than he once was, and I worry that boarding a stranger would cause him a lot of unnecessary stress. I work from home — this allows me some flexibility and the ability to customize my breaks and lunch based on the needs of my clients. When caring for pets in the home of my clients, it’s important to remember that the little one that I’m caring for is likely stressed because their mom and/or dad are gone, and there is a stranger (me) in their home. With that in mind, I typically spend more time with them than what is required by Rover because they need the extra time to feel comfortable with me. I take time to try to get to know them and help them feel more at ease. I treat them with the same amount of compassion I want for my own!

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 at home for the summer. I have all the free time to love and take care of your pets when you are on vacation! if you need other dates before then just message me and I might be available! 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 never one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.

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.

Katelyn M.
“Katelyn recently watched our two golden retrievers, one of which is a senior. It’s so hard to find someone who is willing to stay the night in your home and doesn’t give off weird vibes. Our dogs are like our babies, and it can be nerve wracking to have someone come into your home like that. We couldn’t be more happy with the job Katelyn did. We were able to leave for over a week and not be nervous about if the pups were being taken care of. She sent the best photos and made us feel at ease. We felt bad because our pups are a bit emotionally needy, but we can just tell with their demeanor towards her that they were well loved. Communication was also great from her! Never left wondering if they’re actually being watched. Our home was also cleaner when we got back from our trip than when we first left! It was so nice coming home from vacation without a ton of dog hair to vacuum up. We are recommending Katelyn to everyone, best dog sitter we’ve had.”

Kailey B.
“Kailey's animals are truly her babies. She has fostered several dogs and treats each one with love and care as if they were her own. I know that Kailey would be excellent as a pet sitter and any pet owner would be lucky to have her caring for their pets.”


Keyara H.
“Keyara has been an incredible caregiver for my dog, Luna, and I can’t say enough about how thankful I am for her. From the moment they met, Luna took to her instantly — which says a lot, since she’s usually shy around new people. Keyara quickly learned Luna’s routine, from her favorite walking paths to how she likes her food prepared, and always made sure she felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She sent regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my furry family member!”


Victoria L.
“Victoria always does so well with Begonia. She's a bigger dog but that's never been an issue for Victoria. She knows just how to manage her and any other dogs that may be around that day. And as Begonia has come to show her age she's helped me to keep her active while managing those symptoms of age. A wonderful dog trainer and person. I absolutely recommend her services.”


Selah M.

“Selah did a great job with my dogs!”


Zoe B.
“Zoe is exceptionally kind and reliable. She always plays with our dogs and shows them lots of love. The thing I love most is Zoe sends us photos of our “kids” when she visits and cares for them. It helps alleviate any stress of us worrying how they are doing. Professional, reliable and kind!!!”
