Dog Sitting Nicholasville

About: I volunteer at both a dog and a cat shelter! In addition, I have pet sat for friends and family since I was young. I have animals of my own and understand the importance of our pets comfort and health. I’m currently working part-time and I’m out for summer break so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am available throughout the week besides Friday and Saturday from 3-10pm. I give attentive, personalized care in my clients' homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment! I ensure to follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, water, walks, playtime, exercise, medication administration (if needed), and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind if desired. My focus is on providing reliable, one on one care fit for each pet's needs.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been passionate about keeping them happy and healthy! I love any kind of animal in any shape or size and am not intimidated by big dogs! I have lots of experience with large dogs especially since my family has always owned black labs. I am a student at UK studying Forestry and Wildlife Biology! I attend classes full time but I have full availability on weekends. I can work around my class schedule for drop-in visits and walks. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to play! There are currently no other pets in my home, so no need to worry about antisocial animals feeling stressed or territorial.

About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats my entire life both personally and with family and friends! I love animals and know how stressful it can be finding pet care! Im on a travel contract in Lexington, KY from 11/12 to 2/14! I can provide over night care on Friday and Saturday nights if I know in advance and can do nightly walks or check ins after 6pm during the week! Currently can’t board pets at my place of residence right now but am open to check ins, walks, and staying at your place depending on needs!

About: I love all animals! I worked part-time for a locally owned dog/cat sitting service and gained lots of experience working with animals of all ages and sizes. I have somewhat of a busy schedule with both school and work, but I am very flexible for the most part and am willing to work with clients regarding scheduling. I have a cat of my own and love him to pieces! My dog lives in my hometown with my mom, but I love him to pieces as well and have done everything I can to make both my dog and cat happy, cared for, and loved!

About: I have grown up around dogs and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. Growing up, I worked for a dog breeder, which gave me experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I have also pet sat for multiple family friends over the years, providing reliable care while their owners were away. I have a dog of my own at home, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. As a UK nursing student, I am responsible, attentive, and compassionate, and I would love to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I am currently a nursing student, with classes on Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as clinical on Wednesdays. I am free Tuesday mornings before 10:45 am, and any time Thursdays and Fridays. Also can be available some Wednesday afternoons. Kind of just depends but am always willing to work something out when I do not have class or clincal. I will follow any guidelines you have for your pets. Whatever way you like for them to use the restroom (just in yard or from walks) or can also feed if needed. Will do tasks if instructions are given.

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.

About: - There has never been a point in my life where I did not have a dog and a cat as a pet, so I have been surrounded by them for as long as I can remember. - I moved out of my parents house and now I don’t have a dog of my own. I honestly just need to be around some dogs because they just make me so happy. So, that’s another reason I want to start pet sitting in Lexington! - I am obsessed with dogs and cats because they are so cute and lovable. - I've dog-sat and cat-sat before and loved it. I have work during the day, but am available after 5pm and all day on the weekends. I can stop by before work, during my lunch, and anytime after I get off. I can also work from home if needed if your pet requires more frequent walks / check ins. I am very flexible, so whenever I am needed, I can most likely be there. I am able to do whatever is needed. I am totally a dog and cat person so I will be very happy just being in the presence of either. I can take them on several walks, show them love, cuddle with them and play with them.

About: With 20+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide reliable, attentive pet care for friends, family, and clients. I offer in-home drop-in visits and overnight stays so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, medication, and giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits and overnight stays (in client’s home) throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can adjust to the times that work best for you and your pets. I care for pets with the same attention, gentleness, and love I would give my own. When I’m in your home I carefully follow all house rules, keep everything secure, and stay true to your pet’s normal routine so they feel calm and comfortable. I’m always mindful of doors, windows, and any potential hazards. Throughout the stay I’m happy to send photo updates and messages via text (with your permission).

About: I have had pets all my life. When I moved out I adopted a dog with reactivity and separation anxiety. I know first hand how scary it can be to leave your pet with someone not knowing if they can provide special care for your baby. Thankfully I am able to provide excellent care for all your pets needs (yes this can even include medication administration!). Other experience I have is volunteer work at the Lexington Humane Society, Fostering kittens with Lexington Humane Society, and having my own pets! I currently am in the process of becoming a dog trainer and I also am attending college for social work but my classes are online so I have a lot of free time! I offer things that other people can’t. I am experienced with special circumstances like diabetes care or reactivity. I have a calm but loving approach to my care that makes your pets feel safe and comfortable! I believe in positive reinforcement and science based training and care!

About: I’ve loved caring for my friends and family’s pets for many years, so now I would love to love and care for your pets as extra income I work full time M-F, often weekends I am available for overnight stays, or throughout the week on my lunch for a 30 minute walk I take care or your pets and your home like they are my own. I love animals but don’t have any of my own due to living in a small apartment so I would love to come visit yours!

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over a decade. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can administer medication, as needed. Comfortable walking a variety of sizes and ages with a collar or harness. Most of my dogsitting experience has been with senior dogs so I am happy to accommodate their special needs. I work full time but have a remote position, allowing for dog and cat sitting at guest’s house - and I’ll be home all day! I am also available for walks and drop ins. I will follow all instructions, as presented. Whatever your pet’s personal quirks may be, I’m ready to meet their needs. I am happy to maintain their normal routine.

About: I grew up with three dogs, so taking care of pets has always been a part of my life. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether it’s spending time with dogs, visiting cat cafés, or stopping by the humane society to hang out with the animals there. I’m patient, dependable, and I’ll make sure your pets get the attention, care, and love they deserve while you’re away. Have also house and plant sat for people over the years and always enjoyed helping out. I work full time, so I have a consistent routine and know how to manage my time well. I’m available before and after work, on my days off, and can work with pet owners to make sure their pets stay on their normal schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and fresh water. I also like to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I am a prevet student and have been taking care of animals of all forms since I was roughly 9 years old. I have a dog of my own, her name is Ellie, and she is very playful and loving with other animals including cats and people. I trained her myself and am able to work with younger pups as well as elder. I currently do not have a job and am trying to find small ways to make myself some money that is a little bit easier on myself. So any time can work for me as of now. I am very big on safety when it comes to my animals and will be with yours too. All animals have a special place in my heart whether UT be mine or not.

About: After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands. Available almost anytime in Lexington and surrounding areas contact in advance is recommended but we can take last-minute calls depending on the situation and what not. Also I work with you budget! I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!

“Glenn & Terrill always send lots of pictures to keep us up to date and take great care of our pets! Would happily recommend them to any friend 😊”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born, I love playing, walking and just handing out with them! Also i know the hardships it takes. I am a very available person, I do have a part time job but other than that I’m very free. I usually work a few hours every other day. I love going on runs which I enjoy very much to take a dog on, this could be a short walk or a hike! I’m very active but always love bringing animals with me even if it’s just to get a pup cup or play at a park!!! I currently have 3 dogs, and I watch my sister dog on occasion. My house has a fenced yard of an acre letting the 3 of them run freely. I’m very much for making an outside environment for dogs. But also believe in rest time. I usually spend time watching tv with my dogs or just laying with them

About: I treat all animals like my own. I’ve pet sit/house sit for many people. My family and friends like to joke that I like animals more than humans sometimes. My favorite thing is when I see positive; happy behaviors from animals that I take care of, including my own. I have a border collie mix that is full of energy and I love it so much. I would love to make your life easier while caring for and helping your pets also have enjoyment in the small things like walks or playing with toys, whatever makes them happy :) I work full time. I work 3rd shift (overnight). I normally have a few hours of down time between work and sleeping. I’m either relaxing or walking my dog. I would love to help someone out and hopefully make their life a little easier with that extra time When I am welcomed into other peoples homes I am always respectful and ask questions about how they like things done. When I’m taking care of their pets, I always ask clarifying questions to make sure I’m not messing up anyone else’s environment and/or routine.
