“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”


“Kayla handled our crew of three perfectly and provided a plethora of pics and information. One of our three dogs only has three legs and uses a ramp to go in and out and we appreciated the extra care given to meet his special needs.”


About: I believe our animals do more for us than we ever realize.❤️ And I love to help them feel special and loved in return. ✨ A few years ago, I unexpectedly become the happy human to a crazy Aussie, and while I’ve always been a cat person, I have thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the dog community! 🥰🐾 I am responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness are my top priority while I am with them. I go out of my way to make sure they feel loved and well cared-for while you are away. 💛 I am available to care for your pets mid-mornings through early evenings. I can do multiple visits or walks a day, depending on your pet’s needs 🌼 When I arrive at your home, first is a greet and a cuddle if your pet is open to it. After that, it’s outside for some fresh air, walk and playtime with the dogs. 🐶 Or for kitties, washing and refilling water and food bowls, tidying litter box and settling in for some quality time. 🩷


“Bailey was the best! I have 3 crazy dogs who are a handful and Bailey handles them like a champ. I always get worried when I have to leave my babies in somebody else’s hands, but now that I’ve found Bailey I know when I have to leave they are in the best of hands. The pups love her and so do I! Will be booking her for all future pupper needs!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We grew up with dogs and added cats to the mix when I was in high school. I’ve had several cats and dogs since then. Presently I have a two week on, two week off schedule. During my two weeks off I need something to do and pet sitting would both give me something to do, and allow me to have some dogs around. I’m a fan of walking so don’t worry about your puppets getting exercise! Pet care in my home is dictated by you, and enhanced by me. I’ll feed on the schedule you’ve set, but I’ve been advised by vets to let dogs have as much water as they want. So I’m happy with frequent yard time, or even walks if that’s necessary. With a fenced in back yard this is not a problem. And while I’m a sucker for puppy eyes, I’ll treat how you want as well. You also don’t need to worry about strong discipline. I will never hit or kick your dog.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and was in charge of their baths, I have trained my personal dog basic commands and how to walk on a leash. I will be taking a few classes at UK and have plenty of time MWF after them to spend with your pets, I am unavailable the other days due to work. I will not be offering in home boarding as I live in an apartment and we do not have a pet on our lease to be able to accommodate.

“Communicated with us daily regarding the health and activity of our aging pets. Engaged them in cuddles and play. Very sweet young lady and very responsible.”



About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've worked on horse farms since I was 16, earned my bachelors in equine science and have a masters of science degree. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I also have a strong understanding of animal behaviors and body language. I am also very passionate in dog training as well. I have experience in administering IM medications and oral medications. I have worked for WAG! which is another walking/boarding platform where I would walk clients dogs on demand and also provided in home boarding. I am currently not working so I am home most of the day. A typical day for me starts between 8-10 am where I immediately let the dogs out to use the bathroom and then back in for breakfast. I occasionally leave the house to run errands but usually not longer than 2 hours. Can tailor to your dogs need if they can't be left alone. Throughout the day I will let the dogs outside as they wish and always with supervision. I feed dinner around 6:30pm. For drop in visits I am able to tailor for whatever your animals needs are and typically available for multiple drop in visits during the day if needed. I have a large fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats. I have multiple rooms if your pet needs so quiet time or space from the other animals. I am equipped with multiple crates and baby gates as well if needed. I have a backseat dog hammock and and dog seat belts if needed as well.

“Emily took great care of our two house rabbits while we were away. Being exotic animals, they're a little different than dogs/cats, but Emily followed all the directions to a T. Would highly recommend Emily!”


“Emily is so patient and kind!! We have a big scardy cat mastiff who is afraid of everyone and she was not scared of her at all and is willing to take the time to get to know our girl!! Cannot recommend enough :)”


About: I love all dogs of all shapes and sizes and they always love me because I’m super attentive and loving! I also have 7 years of senior citizen care so I’m versatile to animals and humans! I work full time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and every other Saturday, till 7pm if I go in later, but I can go in earlier to get off earlier, if need be. I spend a quarter of my day at church in Lexington. I love on them, play with them, make sure their water and food bowl is always full when obviously needed. I make sure they are taken outside as often as they need it.

About: I love both dogs and cats. I've been caring for dogs for most of my adult life. I have pet sitting/walking experience with small, medium, and large dogs. Over the years I have also cared for both indoor and outdoor cats. I am a fulltime remote worker. So I can watch dogs/cats in my home during the day and in the evenings. I can also check in on your fur baby in the morning between 7 & 9 am EDT and take them for a walk in the evening after 6pm EDT. Saturday mornings I am available to take your good boy/precious girl for a walk/run or to spend some chill time at the local dog park. I can walk your fur baby on my quiet street, space for their comfy bed/blanket, and can crate your dog if that's what they are used as needed. My home is pet friendly. I also have space for a litter box and bed for your feline friend. In your home/neighborhood, I can walk your goodest girl/bestest boy, monitor them while they explore their own fenced in yard. And for your purrfect kitty, I'll follow their lead to make sure they're comfortable with snuggles or space and ensure they're litter box is fresh and clean. I'll follow your instructions for food, water, and activity.


“Devon was great! came in ran, fed, and gave medication to the dogs as discussed - this involved a little more work because we feed a raw meat diet. She sent us pictures of her adventure with our two huskies. not once did she bat an eye about harnessing up and heading out with two Siberians. The pictures from her run showed clearly that the harness were on just so, and that she was clipped in to one of our hands free running belts. both dogs had perked up ears and I know that means they were happy :) We will book again.”
