I am also open to discussion on how you prefer your pet cared for/played with in your home for a drop in. My goal is to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible with the pet care provided.

About: Hi I’m Brooke! I’ve been pet sitting for family and neighbors for over 10 years and have yet to receive a complaint. I have experience caring for animals of many sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medication, including insulin, as my own dog has diabetes. I currently work as a caregiver at a nursing home three days a week and have weekends off, which gives me flexibility and reliability in my schedule. Being a caregiver has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and sense of responsibility, qualities I bring to pet care as well. I have a 10 year old miniature schnauzer named Cooper and a 12 year old rescue cat named Whiskers who I absolutely adore. I truly love all animals, from dogs to snakes! I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors, but equally love snuggling up on the couch with pets. Your pets safety and comfort is my priority :) I work at a nursing home Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets on the weekend! I have a fenced in yard with a friendly pup. My cat prefers to be outdoors, so it won’t be an issue if your pet doesn’t get along with cats. I am completely dependable and will follow all instructions to a T.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was 10 and have continued to care for close friends and family’s pets for many years. My main goal is to always make any pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, and turtles. I’ll always have a soft spot for dogs, but I’m happy to care for any kind of pet from all walks of life! I’ve helped raise dogs from just being born - to sitting for some that were adopted or transitioned from previous owners that were no longer able to take care of them. No matter the situation, I’m always happy to adjust to their needs and take care of them as if they are my own!!! I work full time in a flexible hybrid position that allows me to provide care throughout the week. My work is local and only a 20-minute drive from Union, KY.

Our apartment is very safe and situated in close proximity to various areas (10 minutes from Florence, 15-20 minutes from Hebron). I care for every pet I meet by understanding their needs and ensuring they’re always in a safe, well-maintained environment.

About: After a break from pet sitting, I have decided to start taking bookings again for walking/drop-in visits. I am also open to overnight stays at your home depending on circumstances. I have always had a soft spot for animals. They bring me such happiness and I honestly feel like we are not deserving of the love that they give! I have great anxiety when I have to Board or find care for my own pets, and I strive to bring comfort and compassionate care to others who may feel the same way! I work from home which allows me to constantly be present for the needs of my own animals and the needs of pups that are visiting my home. I have a large fenced in yard in a safe community. Visiting pups will be treated like family and will be loved on and treated like one of our own.
About: I've cared and pet sit for family for years, I would watch over my Nana's ten pets for weeks at a time multiple times a year. I always look forward to when I get to sit and care for families pets and spend time with them one on one. I love the calm moments where they sleep next to you and the energy of running around in the backyard for hours and taking walks. I work a full time job in the evening, but I have two pets I care for at home before and after work. I would love to be able to help others know their animals are safe and taken care of while they're at work or out of town, especially if they're gone late at night when their pets need them most. I always make sure to approach an animal and not force myself on them until they feel comfortable around a new person. I make sure when taking them on a walk to always have them on a leash just in case and be cautious around other animals because you can't ever be too sure of other people's pets around your own. I would always check with the owner but I would love to bring approved treats for the animals as a fun surprise and maybe a new toy if it was okayed by the owner.
About: In my future, i plan to start a rescue for animals in need and are injured. Animals are my best friend and i couldn’t ever imagine being without them.
