About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child from feeding to taking them for a walk. I love dogs! I miss my little Arnold (schnauzer) I can take care of them through the afternoon, when I get from work, until night. Also weekends any time as needed. I can arrange my schedule to make it work! I am offering care for pet in client home, so I can play with them in the back yard, walk them outside and give company. Also, I offer to feed them, give medicine or prepare special food if it is necesary to make them feel good. I can also give them a bath in an appropiate place and groom.

“Dina was a huge blessing to us and our dogs. Our dogs are seniors that have medicines, supplements and specific routines that I get nervous about when explaining to new sitters but she handled everything so well and graciously.

You can tell she is a true animal lover and it makes us feel more comfortable when traveling knowing someone we can trust is taking care of them and our house. She sent updates and pictures everyday. Thanks again!”

About: I started pet sitting while living in Germany, caring for my friend’s cat whenever she traveled—that’s where it all began. After moving to the U.S. a year ago, I began dog sitting and have truly enjoyed it. I love taking dogs for walks, running around with them, and giving them lots of care and treats. I’m especially comfortable with both playful puppies and older pets who need a little extra attention. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the care I give to make them feel safe and happy while you’re away I am currently work part-time. that makes my schedule quite fixable to arrange. I am available Wednesday afternoon till Sunday. On Friday i always gone for hour for horse riding I always make sure pets feel safe and at home, whether I’m in my place or yours. I follow their routine, keep things clean and comfy, and give them lots of love and attention. I make sure doors and spaces are secure, and I’ll send you updates so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Miranda has housesat for us multiple times now and watched our sweet dogs and cat. She is phenomenal!! We came back to a house cleaner than we left it, and she clearly took excellent care of our animals. She sent updates throughout the weekend and photos so that we could see how they were doing. She is very reliable, responsible, and we will definitely book her again!”
“Elijah was wonderful with our very big, somewhat high maintenance dog. This was our first time leaving our boy with a sitter and we were nervous but everything went very smoothly. Elijah was great with him and they clicked right away.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for two dachshunds—from their playful, mischievous puppy days to their calm, senior years. I’ve also raised a golden retriever puppy, so I understand what it takes to care for both high-energy pets and aging companions who need a gentler touch. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets because they know I treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable with everything from managing puppy routines to providing extra patience and support for senior pets. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I’m dedicated to giving your pet the attentive, compassionate care they deserve. I’m a dental student at the University of Kentucky with a consistent weekday class schedule, which allows me to plan pet care with reliability and structure. I’m available for early morning and late afternoon visits during the week, and I have more flexibility on weekends for longer stays, drop-ins, or extended walks. Whether your pet needs quick check-ins, evening care, or weekend companionship, I do my best to accommodate your schedule while providing attentive and loving care. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priorities during their stay in my home. I live in a spacious townhouse that offers plenty of room for pets to roam, play, and relax. Just a short walk away is a dog-friendly park, perfect for daily walks, outdoor time, and a bit of fun and fresh air. While I don’t have a fenced yard, all potty breaks are done safely on-leash, with regular outdoor time throughout the day. Pets typically sleep in their travel crates overnight to ensure a familiar and cozy environment, and I’m happy to accommodate any crate training or bedtime routines you already have in place. I follow your pet’s regular feeding schedule to maintain consistency and reduce stress while you're away. Whether your pet needs structured playtime, quiet companionship, or just a lap to nap on, I provide personalized care tailored to their needs. When caring for pets in your home, I make it my top priority to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and completely at ease. I follow their regular routines as closely as possible, including feeding times, walk schedules, playtime, and any medications or special needs. Whether it's cuddles on the couch, a game of fetch, or quiet companionship, I adapt to your pet's unique personality and preferences. I treat your home with the utmost respect and always leave it just as you left it—clean, secure, and cared for. I'm trustworthy, reliable, and communicative, keeping you updated with messages, photos, and notes during your time away. Services I provide include: - Daily feeding & fresh water - Dog walking & potty breaks - Administering medication (if needed) - Playtime and enrichment - Litter box or waste cleanup - Overnight stays or multiple daily visits - Basic home tasks (mail, plants, lights) Above all, I treat your pets like family—because that's exactly what they are.

Libby did a phenomenal job housesitting for us and our two elderly dogs. She was prompt, very dependable and kept us informed with notes and pictures of how our babies were doing. Our house was immaculate and the mail on the counter when we got back. We will definitely ask her to help us again.
Erin was great! She cared for our dog who is currently injured with knee surgery upcoming and also stayed in our home and watered the garden as well! She gave daily pics and updates and was absolutely wonderful in every way! We would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. Very sweet young lady!
Jordan was great, and we felt comfortable and relaxed knowing our dogs were in good hands! She sent pictures, kept us updated, and left the house in great shape. All our dogs are happy and were well cared for while we were gone! We’d definitely book her again if we go out of town.
Megan was absolutely AMAZING with my two Goldendoodles. My girl dog can be very skittish and Megan was very patient with her and even often went on two walks one right after the other b/c Bailey wouldn't come out from under the bed on the first walk lol. We really appreciate her and will definitely use her again.
You can't get better than Megan!!! She went above and beyond!!! So great to be able to leave our pets in such great care and not have any worries! She is great at communication, reliable, attentive, and thoughtful! I can't say enough great things - you are in luck if you to have her help!
Jessica was wonderful with our dogs. She managed our energetic, nearly two-year-old Sheepadoodle with ease and care. More impressively, she looked after our critically ill Havanese, administering his medication every six hours for ten days with great responsibility. While we were traveling abroad, her support gave us true peace of mind. We’ll definitely have her care for our boys again soon.
Madison took excellent care of my 2 babies, Sam and Bella, for a week. She did scheduled visits for feeding, potty breaks, play time and walks. But also made quick decision for an unplanned emergency vet trip, extra drop off/pickup at the overnight MedVet for 1 pup, and an overnight stay at my house with the other pup for extra caution observation. She made sure their health was priority while I was on a cruise with limited contact. ♥️
Shawn took care of our elderly dog with special needs, including dementia, as well as a small flock of chickens. He communicated regularly with texts and photos, so I was reassured our dog, who I was very worried about, was ok. He managed her medications, made sure she got exercise, and kept her safe. When our flight home was delayed by weather, he covered an extra night, which was a huge help. We've booked Shawn in the past and will definitely reach out again.
