“April was great with our dogs! She communicated often, sent pictures, and treated our dogs with love. April was flexible and easy to work with. Booking with her was a great experience.”

About: I have taken care of our pets and family/ family friends pets. I also take care of my step sisters dogs and walk them. I’m experience with taking care of small and big dogs. I’m currently not working and with having one more extra class I decided to do something fun with my free time. I would love to spend my time with playing with your pets and taking care of them. I have time during Tuesday and Thursday after 2:30 pm and then Wednesday between 10:05am-12:45pm. On Friday I have time anytime after 11:00am and most weekends I’m free anytime except Sunday is anytime after 2:00 pm. With were I live right now since I do live in a college house I can’t take care of pets over there sadly but If I was at the client’s home I would make sure the pet eats and then go on a walk. After that just come back and let the pet play with the toys or just relax with the pet.
About: Hi, I'm Madison! I offer a safe and loving home environment for pets through daycare and boarding, and I'm also excited to provide board-and-train services as I work toward my training certification. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I currently share my home with several of my own pets, have been dog sitting for many years, even as far back as elementary school! I also have experience training my own dogs, daycare dogs, as well as family and friends! I previously provided similar services in Wisconsin, and now that l've settled in Kentucky, I'm excited to be getting back into it here. After working at two dog daycares, l've seen firsthand that most dogs thrive so much better in a cozy home setting, and my goal is to create that comfortable space for them. Along with personalized care, I also provide enrichment activities, baths, and fun photo updates to keep you connected with your pet's stay. Since I'm getting back into offering these services locally, my pricing may be flexible-so feel free to reach out with questions. I'd love to meet your pup and welcome them into my home! I also accept other pets on a case-by-case bases! I have many pets of my own so care for them takes up most of the day & is something I am used to. I have physical health issues that makes it hard to work a full time job so spending time with your pup(s) is something I look forward to! :) -Will follow through with owners personal preferences and what is the safest/best for each dog . -Will give the pet the care they need, and send updates to the owner (if wanted)
“Rehanna took great care of my Ella. She kelp me updated on how Ella was doing and sent me lots of pictures. I'm glad I found someone that I can trust to watch my furbaby when I go out of town.”

About: I was born loving dogs and cats! I am extremely attentive to their needs and always try to make them happy. I can assure you I will treat your dogs like my own and my dog is very spoiled. My home is one story and I live very close to a park. I would be happy to help you take care of your fur babies. I work Monday thru Friday and would love watching you fur baby on the weekends. I can walk dogs or visit cats after 5 pm cdt. I have a fenced on yard so dogs are free to run and sniff. I can also take them to the park where I love to walk.
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was 11. I was told I had to do all the puppy chores if I wanted a puppy so I’ve always walked, bathed, feed, and played with them as much as possible. I love all dogs no matter the shape or size. I also live on a big farm where they would be able to play and run all day long. I currently work a part time job. I work Monday, Wednesday, and half a day of Friday and I’m normally available every other weekend. I do go to college but I’m online this semester so I’ll be home the days I don’t work. I have 3 fur baby’s who would play with your fur baby all day. We have all kinds of toys and room for them to play. I live on a big farm so they would be able to play and run outside also. I also never mind to bath them if they get dirty!
“Kat, was awesome with our mini golden doodle ! She kept her 10 days. Always sent updates. Pictures of our baby Oakley. She showed Oakley her first cow! Oakley played with her other dogs and I know she was well taken care of. I will definitely be calling Kat again! I’d recommend you have Kat keep your fur babies while out of town or just for the day. 5 🌟 Kat is very good with taking care of her animals she keeps.”

About: I have taken care of pets since the age of 11, with experience of working at a spay and neuter clinic and a humane society. I am available almost any day of the week any time! I have two little kids, so any pets would need to be ok with kids. I have a nice big yard, and one medium sized dog. He is always happy to make new friends. He is fully vaccinated. I also have one cat who is friendly with dogs and other cats.
“Allie took great care of our pets and sent daily updates. I was initially worried about bringing our cat into a home with other cats and dogs, but she was able to keep them separated and comfortable. It’s also great that Allie is home with them most of the day.”

About: I have had and been around animals my whole life and the person to always call when you need a sitter. i love all babies. I am working part time jobs and have more than enough time to take care of your sweet babies and fulfill your babies needs 24/7. I care for the animals like they are my whole life. Animals are a man’s best friend and are basically humans with fur. I’m also going to school to work with animals the rest of my life
About: I have been rescuing and fostering dogs for over 10 years. I’ve been boarding over 2 years now, have 7 years experience in shelter medicine and 2 years in vet med. I am pet CPR certified and your doggos will be cared for like they are my own. My place is small and I do not take on more dogs than I can handle — not only for me, but also to keep stress levels low while your pup is away from home. I work part-time at the Leitchfield Animal Shelter, but my schedule is extremely flexible. My mom, Norma, also helps with cleaning and letting dogs out for potty time if I am not able to step away immediately. I have a fenced yard for your pups to run and play in. I provide an indoor temperature controlled space that is consistently monitored by a camera. The indoor area offers the pups a comfy couch, blankets, and other amenities to make them feel right at home.
