Tia took such good care of our dog jojo when we were away on vacation. Our dog is shy by nature and takes a bit to warm up to new people/spaces, but Tia was so understanding and patient with our doggo! she sent us updates and pictures on how jojo was doing, and took her on walks around the neighborhood. We could tell when we picked jojo up that she was well taken care of and spoiled with pets! We will definitely be using Tia again in the future to watch our sweet little nervous nelly of a dog.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of watching all types of sweet pups from golden doodles to frenchies. I love showering them with love, cuddles, walks, and lots of treats. In my past, I’ve also taken care of a pup with seizure activity where I had to give oral medication daily and administer medication in case of emergency. I can’t wait to love on your furry friends as well! I have just recently graduated from the University of Kentucky and have plenty of time in my weekly schedule to help care for your pets! I do not have any pets in my college home, but I do have a yard for the pets to roam in! I love to watch/walk dogs! And I am happy to help let them out, give them love, and anything else they might need!

Alex and Martha have a clean home, a gorgeous backyard and multiple sweet, furry friends that Calliope LOVED to play with. They were communicative and very accommodating - I got picture/video updates every day, and I could tell Calliope was having a BLAST. Will absolutely reach out when I need someone to watch my Gremlin Princess again :)

About: Hello! Names Amaya, I’m a freshman in college looking for a side hustle! I love animals, but have most of my experience with dogs. I work at a doggie daycare and boarding facility here in Lex part-time, I’ve been there for a year. I also have a dog of my own that I’ve raised since a little pup! He’s extremely dog friendly and comes with me to daycare. I’m just looking for a side hustle to support me through college! Over the summer, I work part-time at a doggie daycare and boarding facility. My shifts are 8 hours long and I usually have 3 shifts a week. Aside from my job, I have full availability! I usually keep my dog in my room with the door closed because he’s really bad about getting into the trash. However I do keep a crate in my apartment if needed. Since I live on the third floor in an apartment, I do not have a back yard, but I have bells that he rings when he needs to potty. I believe that every household is different and has different resources, so I’m willing to be flexible for the dogs need!

Kathryn is a great sitter! Our pup gets lots of personal attention as she will only accept one family at a time and works from home. He loves having kids around during the day and playing ball in her fenced yard. Kathryn is easy to communicate with and we feel much better about leaving our pup in her care than boarding, especially when she sends pictures and updates, which we love. She is always out top choice when when our pup cannot travel with us!

This was a last minute reservation and Lauren stepped up to the challenge. Her dog (Cletus) and ours were great together. Lauren took great care of our Jasper by providing him with walks, cuddles and some fun toys - sorry Cletus. We have already scheduled our next stay as we would not hesitate using Lauren again. Thanks Lauren.

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.

This is the second time our cat Biscuit has stayed with Lei and it went just as well as the first time. He remembered Lei and was comfortable immediately again and was his playful needy self. Lei sent us pictures, videos, and updates everyday and ensured us that Biscuit was well taken care of while away. I will continue to use Lei’s services as necessary as she has been fantastic on communication and has done everything to make our car feel at home and at ease!

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!
