House Sitting Murray

“Kristen did an amazing job watching our dog Gunner... and he very much enjoyed her being there! She sent plenty of pics so that we could see how he was doing. We 100% will use Kristen again whenever we need a sitter. Thank you so much Kristen! ❤️”

“Tara takes such good care of my Beau and my home. She goes above and beyond. When I come home he is chipper and happy and not sad and confused (like has happened with other sitters). She gives him everything he needs, especially the cuddles!”

About: Hi! My name is Cassi, and animals have been a huge part of my life for over 5 years. I have experience caring for animals in veterinary clinics, emergency medicine, and animal shelters, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities! I currently work at a veterinary clinic in Benton as a veterinary technician, and I have also worked in an emergency veterinary clinic as a technician and at an animal shelter where I cared for a wide variety of animals. Because of my veterinary experience, I’m comfortable recognizing when something seems “off” and know how to safely care for pets with medical or special needs. One of my biggest strengths is caring for pets who require medications or extra attention. I’m experienced with administering oral medications, injections, and insulin, and I’m comfortable following detailed medication schedules and special care instructions. I also have a soft spot for senior pets! I personally cared for my senior hound who was diabetic, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and extra care can be for older pets. I’m also very comfortable with anxious, shy, or more difficult pets. Working in veterinary medicine and animal shelters has taught me that every animal is different. Whether your pet is a happy-go-lucky dog who wants to play all day, a nervous pup who needs some time to warm up, or a shy kitty who prefers to hide and observe, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they’re comfortable with. I have plenty of experience with dogs as well! While working at the shelter, I regularly took dogs on walks and hikes, played with them, and worked with dogs with all kinds of temperaments. I love getting outside, going for walks, playing, and making sure pets get the exercise and enrichment they need. I also have a young Beagle puppy of my own, Maisie, who is very friendly and would love a playmate! If your dog enjoys other dogs and you’re comfortable with it, Maisie can tag along for walks or visits. Of course, this is completely optional and I’m happy to provide one-on-one care if your pet would prefer to have me all to themselves. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I also understand how reassuring it is to know how your pet is doing while you’re gone, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout my visits. Whether your pet needs a simple potty break and some playtime, a long walk, medication, senior care, or just someone to keep them company while you're away, I would love the opportunity to care for them! Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like my own. ❤️🐾 I am currently in school and work at a veterinary clinic part time but I am mostly free in the mornings and late afternoons. I am free most weekends. My schedule can vary so we can 100% work out times that work for you! I care for every pet according to their individual routine, personality, and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. This includes following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of attention and companionship. I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions and caring for pets with special needs, including senior pets and pets requiring medications or insulin injections. I also understand that some pets are nervous or anxious around new people, so I’m patient and allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I always prioritize safety and supervision, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just as they would be at home. ❤️🐾

About: I have taken care of my own dog since we have got her, aswell as dog sitting for others, or doing pop in checks since I have been able to drive! I have taken care of dogs all sizes and ages! I am currently enrolled in classes at Murray State, however I am not in classes for longer than 2 hours everyday, so I have plenty of time every morning, afternoon, and night to care for animals or homes! I live in dorms at Murray State, so I am unable to bring any animals into my dorm. However I am more than able to drive to your home to care for your animals, whether it is walking them, feeding them, bathing them, or simply putting them in a crate for you!

“Madison was great, we could tell that our dogs got plenty of love and attention while we were gone. She was very responsive and we would definitely use her in the future!”

“We can’t imagine leaving our three cats with anyone else when we travel! Amanda makes being out of town completely stress-free because we know they’re getting the best care possible. She always goes above and beyond and keeps us updated with plenty of pictures, which we love. One of our cats is usually very shy around people, but absolutely adores Amanda—which says everything you need to know about her. Not only is she the best cat sitter we could ask for, but she’s also an incredibly kind and thoughtful person. She even surprised our cats with a gift! 🥹❤️ We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I’m a third-year veterinary technology student at Murray State. I have 4 years of hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Indianapolis. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, gaining experience with feeding, exercise, playgroups, basic grooming, and safe handling. I currently work at the facility seasonally when I return home to Indianapolis. I also have experience caring for cats and horses. I have my own cat, live with a roommate who has a cat and two horses, and over the summer I gained hands-on experience interning with horse rehabilitation. Through my veterinary technology education and hands-on animal care experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and overall well-being. I truly love working with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and individualized care for every pet. My schedule as a student-athlete at Murray State is structured, which allows me to plan my pet-care responsibilities around my classes and track practices. I have morning practices and some afternoon practices throughout the week, with classes primarily in the middle of the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I don’t have classes on Tuesdays or Thursdays, giving me more flexibility to provide longer visits and more consistent care on those days. I’m very responsible with my time and would make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need while fitting their routine into my schedule. I take the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet very seriously. As a third-year veterinary technician student and someone with 4 years of experience working at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, I’m comfortable recognizing different behaviors, handling animals safely, and paying attention to changes in their health or routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are in a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while they’re in my care.

About: I bring a strong veterinary background to my pet-sitting services. I graduated from Murray State with a degree in Veterinary Technology and currently work as a technician at Westside Veterinary Clinic, where I’ve gained three years of hands-on experience in professional animal care. Because of my clinical training, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs—including puppies, seniors, and pets requiring medication or special monitoring. I also live just two minutes away from Westside Veterinary Clinic, allowing me quick access to medical attention if ever needed. Along with my medical skills, I have previous pet-sitting experience and a genuine love for making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own homes. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, both at home and at work. I work full-time at Westside Veterinary Clinic on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, with Thursdays off. Even on my workdays, I come home during my hour-long lunch break to check in, let pets outside, and make sure everyone is comfortable. Because I work in a veterinary environment, I also have the flexibility to bring animals with me to the clinic if needed, ensuring they are safe, supervised, and never left alone for long periods. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and week. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they are welcomed into a safe, calm, and well-supervised environment. I have two friendly, well-trained Australian Shepherds who enjoy meeting new animals. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my dogs are crated whenever I’m not home, ensuring that guest pets can relax without any stress or unsupervised interactions. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, including their feeding routine, exercise requirements, medication, and any special instructions from their owner. I introduce pets slowly and thoughtfully, monitor their comfort levels, and make sure they always have their own space, enrichment, and downtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routine and maintain a clean, secure environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering consistency, compassion, and attentive care. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

“Alyssen was great taking care of our dog. She was reliable and even took him for long walks a couple days. Stoppped in the day before to meet him and get the instructions for taking care of our pet.”

About: Hi everyone, I’m Bree! I provide reliable, fun, loving care for dogs/cats in a safe home environment in Murray. Pet care is my full-time job and focus, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including energetic puppies and sweet senior pups who may need a little extra patience and care. Whether your dog enjoys running around the yard, going on walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I adjust their routine to match what they’re used to at home so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I’m available throughout the week for my services and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus, so I am able to give dogs plenty of attention, outdoor time, and supervision throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. All potty breaks and playtime are supervised, and I carefully monitor interactions to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I always try to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and at home. My focus is on providing a calm, safe environment where every dog gets plenty of attention and care.

“Emma was the best! She loved on and cared for my dogs just as I would while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond if I needed help with my other animals as well. She sent pictures everyday and let me know anything that was going on. She was truly the best and I really relaxed on vacation instead of worrying about my pups. Thank you Emma!”

About: I've had pets since I was very young. I started taking care of friends pets and my own since I was 15. I currently have 5 dogs, 8 cats, multiple rats, and 2 ball pythons. I currently work full time but am able to care for your pets in the afternoon and on Fridays and Saturdays. I can also take time off to care for your fur babies if given ample time to ask off or find coverage for my job. I currently cannot do anything in the home I live in as it's not mine and there are too many animals living here, however I am able to care for your pets in your home as I would my own. I respect boundaries from pet parents and will always do things within the rules and boundaries told to me when caring for your fur babies.

“Whitney was extremely attentive and courteous. We trusted her in our home and she seemed to have care for our dogs as if they were her own. I learned that she grew up on a farm and has extensive experience caring for horses, chickens and other livestock. I most certainly will contact her for future house sitting needs as well as toncare for my farm's animals. It is difficult to find someone that possesses such a range of talent and experience with animals, who I can trust and depend on. Thank you!”

About: There has never been a time in my life when I didn't have pets. People say I spoil my pets but I call it unconditional love. It's a 24 hour job. My pets eat home cooked meals and filtered water. They go to the doctor before I do. I plan my days so they never have to be alone. They are my babies. I have a large fenced in backyard, tons of different toys, and healthy food. Is can't even spend a night away from my fur babies.

“Ayla was amazing with our boys. She accommodating all of our needs and made sure to keep us up to date every step of the way. We will definitely be using her again!”
