Dog Walking Mount Vernon

“Sofie was very sweet with my dog and respectful of the house.”

About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a little girl, I’ve grown up multiple family pets and have watched dogs for family and friends when they are out of town. I am also a proud owner of an extremely playful miniature Bernedoodle. I love getting to meet and spend time with new furry friends and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working a part time job and caring for my own snuggle buddy, Therefore I will have flexible availability throughout the weekdays and the weekends. Holidays included. I have one friendly dog that would love to keep your fur baby company if wanted. As well as transportation and any needed doggy supplies!

“Lucas is really quite incredible. I have a hectic and demanding job that requires me to have a dog walker that is very dependable and good with my pups. I have two pitbull mixes who can be a handful when their energy is high, and one who is quite reactive to other dogs. Lucas showed my dogs nothing but kindness and patience and effectively got them exercised and got their energy out for me. He showed up on time each walk and followed my instructions perfectly. He also communicated with me consistently which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Overall I highly recommend choosing Lucas to watch or walk your dogs, he is sweet and patient with dogs, trustworthy and reliable. I will absolutely be using him in the future if he’s available.”

“Sahil was great and had good communication. He took Maple on a nice long walk to help us out while we’re sick. Maple was tired and happy when they got back! I would definitely recommend his services.”

“Morgan was great to with our dog. We were only able to use her a few times, but each time I felt safe knowing she was with him. She provided detailed reports, lots of pictures, showed up on time and actually did the entire 30 minute walk! I would, and hope to, hire her again. Thanks so much Morgan!!”

“Sarah was great! She was prompt in her communication and got in a good distance for the walk. I’m sure Mo had a great time! Will be a repeat!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. I also have experience caring for and walking friends’ dogs and am excited to expand that experience by helping more local dog owners! I’m active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a relaxed walk to a more active walk or run for dogs who need extra exercise. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, and I’ll make sure their time with me is safe, fun, and tailored to what they need. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I’m a full-time student and also work part-time, but my schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for pet care! I have availability on different mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the day. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both your schedule and your dog’s routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow all instructions and routines provided, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any specific household rules. For walks and runs, I’ll always prioritize your dog’s safety by keeping them securely leashed, paying attention to their surroundings, and adjusting the pace and distance based on their age, energy level, and needs. I’ll also provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have worked with over hundred dogs. I used to a be an animal tech at a daycare and boarding place. I have fed, medicated, and entertained all kinds of dogs. My daily routine consists of lots of exercise. I would add the dogs exercise into my routine. I would follow the parent’s instructions to the tee. I have one cat who likes dogs and other cats. She does not mind. I live in an apartment with access to walking trail. I plan to take the dog outside a lot.

“Misty was great with both of our dogs. Even our high-strung Collie/Shepherd mix warmed up to her. Happy she is available to take care of them. : )”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home since I was 9 years old, from 2 month old puppies to senior dogs, and taking care of them has been the best part of my day! I like to focus on mental stimulation as well as physical with dogs so they have a sound mind and body. I’m familiar with crate training, and puppy care, including a solid understanding of training the basics. I’m used to energetic and fast-paced dogs but I love my older and more mellow dogs as well! I’ve pet sat my fair share of cats and feel comfortable with them too. My Australian shepherd and I just moved out to Lexington recently, but I’m excited to offer my services now including recurring dog walking :) let me know if you have any questions for me! I am a flight student so that is my biggest time commitment which is 4 hours 3-4x a week. I know my schedule far out and can adjust my other responsibilities such as coursework and caring for my own dog and any other that may be in my care. I am never gone for too long and making sure the dogs are doing well is a priority that’s extremely important to me. If there is a yard, that will be utilized to the fullest, but I will take full advantage of what the neighborhood has to offer for fun walks/providing sufficient daily stimulation for the dog. I’m always respectful of the home and the routine the dog had prior to their person being gone. I’m super communicative, especially if things happen that are out of the ordinary, but also when things are normal so you’ll won’t have to wonder too much how your baby is doing!

“Griffen was wonderful with Teddy! First time using Rover, a great experience!”

About: I have experience caring for many different types of animals, including dogs and horses. I grew up around horses and have my own Chihuahua. I’ve also cared for a litter of six French Bulldog/Chihuahua mixes and have dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I currently go to University of Kentucky and have classes every day from 9- 1 but could help with whatever your needs are before or after my classes ! Since I live in a dorm, I would provide pet care at the client’s home. I will follow the client’s instructions, keep their home clean and secure, and make sure their pets are safe, comfortable, fed, and given plenty of attention while they are away.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 8 years through family, friends, and by helping manage my sister's Rover clients. During that time, I've gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and care needs. One of my greatest strengths is working with senior pets. I helped care for and train my own dogs throughout their lives, including into their senior years at ages 15 and 17. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring health, and providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for pets that require intensive monitoring and strict medication schedules. I understand how important consistency is when a pet has medical, age-related, or special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications as directed, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I've assisted with dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, specialized care, or simply a calm and caring presence, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind during your time away. I am currently in graduate school, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I am only in class for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. In addition to my weekday availability, I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows me to take on weekend house sitting, extended stays, and more flexible scheduling needs without conflict. Overall, my routine makes it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to pets during both weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am experienced with house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I approach each service with the same level of responsibility and care. I make sure doors are secured, leashes are always used properly on walks, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice any changes or concerns. In addition, I respect my clients’ homes and treat them with care and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is to provide peace of mind by creating a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I am currently a small animal veterinarian licensed in both Kentucky and Georgia, but have been in the veterinary medical field since 2009, starting out as a vet assistant. While I have enjoyed helping animals throughout my veterinary career, I have decided to step away from the long, demanding hours of clinical medicine in order to have a better work-life balance so that I can spend more time with my family. Pet sitting allows me to continue doing what I love, which is caring for animals. As a veterinarian, I have worked with all ages and breeds of dogs and cats, and I am comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and supporting animals with special medical needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy or a senior with more in depth needs, my goal is to make every pet feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, providing regular updates, photos, and plenty of attention so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or help with a pet who needs a little extra time and attention, I'd love to meet you and your best friend! I look forward to helping your pet stay happy, healthy, and stress-free while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a veterinarian transitioning away from full-time clinical practice to create more time for my family, I now have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or medication administration, I can easily build my schedule around each pet's individual needs. Caring for animals has always been more than just my profession, it's something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also volunteered at animal shelters for several years. As a freshman at the University of Kentucky, I’m excited to continue spending time caring for and getting to know new pets! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care in between classes, after class, and on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m excited to make caring for animals a regular part of my week again! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ll follow clients’ instructions, maintain their pet’s normal routine, provide food and water, and make time for exercise, play, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences to make sure they feel happy and at ease!

About: I have been caring of a variety fur babies since I was a kid. I have experience with working with both younger and older fur babies. I am currently working full time while coming my masters online in counseling so I do have flexibility with working overnights. If need more availability please contact me. I have a fenced area at my apartment complex for dogs if needed. I have a variety of teats and toys for cats if needed.

“Kim is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Kim and asked if she could walk my two dogs for a couple of days. Kim kindly replied to me quickly and was very accommodating to my last minute request. She treated my dogs with so much love and care. She made sure to refill their water, give them a few treats and sent me some adorable pictures of them where they looked so happy! She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!”

About: I have a dog of my own. He’s a miniature poodle I learned how to potty train him in the home and also trained him to see his crate as a safe space. I’m currently a college student thats has a very flexible schedule and only have one class a day. I would love to put the rest of my time into watching your dog(s). I've watched dogs my whole life! I also have a dog of my own. I know the ins and outs! I will get them to their daily walks on time, I will feed them on time. I will treat your dog as my own. Dogs bring me joy and I would love this opportunity to build a relationship with yours!

About: I've been taking care of pets for about 5 years, and have cared for pets of my family, friends of my parents, and others who have reached out to me! My time in the summer is super flexible, and I'm willing to meet all of your pets' needs! Throughout the summer, I work a part-time job with a flexible schedule. I put my availability in two-weeks in advance, but only work about 5 to 6 hour shifts when I am scheduled. During the academic year, I take 3 classes on top of working part-time, so my schedule is more limited, but I am still able to take off if alerted two weeks in advance! In the past, I have only cared for pets in the clients' homes. I can assure you that as someone who loves my own family pets, very direction about your pet will be followed, as any rules you might have about your house, since I understand these two things are incredibly important to everyone.
