Emily and her husband were so nice and were perfect for my dog, Cassie. I got updates daily about her play and how she was doing along with pictures and videos. Their home is spacious, has a fenced in (good sized) backyard with lots of room for playtime! My girl did great with her dogs who were also very good hosts. I am already in talks with Emily about watching my girl again in a few months for our next trip. Highly recommend.

I am so thankful to have found Melody. My dog, Opal, took to her right away, and she LOVES being over there for daycare and overnight stays. The times are super flexible, and I’m thankful to have someone that loves my dog as much as I do! I get pictures and videos on how Opal is doing throughout the day. Definitely the best dog sitter in Lex!

Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate 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 have been caring for dogs most of my life and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I currently have a well-behaved two-year-old Shih Tzu, which has helped me stay consistent with routines, training, and daily care. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I treat every dog like my own. I work Monday through Friday during the day, but I am available in the evenings for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I have full availability on weekends for boarding and extended care, and I make sure every pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care around my work schedule. I can take your pets on walks, and all of the other essentials. I have two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. I can also crate train your pets if needed I do have crates if your pets need trained.

Ana was great with my Maltese/shih Tzu. This is the first time she’s stayed with anyone more than two days, so we (me & dog) were both a little nervous for this weeklong stay. But Ana sent me a picture and video so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I’ll definitely use her again. Very pleased!

We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!

Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!

We had a great experience with Kath and Jordan! They were able to accommodate our three dogs for almost a week, and our dogs got along wonderfully with their own beautiful pets. Kath and Jordan kept us updated with regular pictures, which really put our minds at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. They have a spacious yard for the dogs to run and play, making it a great environment for them. We highly recommend Kath and Jordan and will definitely book with them again!

About: I provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has unique needs and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I can provide dependable pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I am a part time server and only have my schedule open for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for my serving job but don’t always work all 3 days. I can make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention and care. I communicate regularly with owners and am committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I maintain a clean environment, provide plenty of supervision, and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!!

Addie is fantastic!! We met her twice before we left town just to be sure things were all set— and our dog loves her. We were flexible about where she stayed with our dog- her house or ours- because we were gone for 16 days. She did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable with her. She sent pictures, responded quickly to texts, and Levi’s know how everything was going. Additionally, Addie is a genuinely nice person who is driven in her work as a dancer. We were very impressed with her. We are looking forward to many more trips, knowing our dog is safe and well loved in our absence.

From the moment we met Tania, she was friendly and welcoming. She introduced Molly to her pets and the layout of her home and fenced-in yard. Molly had to learn to use the Dog Door and did so While away, Tania sent photos and videos of Molly enjoying herself. It is clear that Tania cares deeply for pets. Molly had a wonderful time, and we will look forward to using Tania again.

Ava did a phenomenal job caring for my two pups, Trooper & Shaiya. We scheduled a meet and greet the evening before boarding and Ava kindly came to my residence to meet the dogs and ensure everything would work well with her dog as well. My dogs are young (8 and 6 months), and have a lot of play energy. Ava did a great job caring for them and provided me with pictures/videos along the way. Given her success with this challenge, I'm highly confident she will take excellent care of your dog as well! 10/10 recommend!
