About: Dog walking, training, and feeding animals. I’m definitely an animal lover!! I’ve had dogs and cats in my life so I know their needs and wants. If you’re looking for someone to walk, feed and let your pets have a break during the day, I’m your person! Morning: A walk or playtime, followed by breakfast and a potty break. Midday: A potty break, especially important for puppies, and possibly a walk or play session. Evening: A walk, dinner, and more playtime or training. Bedtime: A final potty break before settling down for the night. I have a golden retriever, his name is Bernie. He is crate and potty trained. He gets bathed and groomed properly. We take daily walks and playtime.
“Brooke was amazing, I had some concerns with never leaving my babies with anyone other than a family member, she went above and beyond with easing my nerves. I never once had to reach out to get an update or pictures of them. She beat me to it every time. I believe my pets were treated as if they were her own. If ever needing boarding again, she will be my first choice. Highly recommend her.”

About: I have taken care have so many dogs and ages since I was 10. My parents have always had 2 or 3 dogs and neighbors and other family members as well. I would love to just walk them around for hours on end and play with them. I have a lot of flexibility in my day. I’m a part-time job That’s also very flexible towards the end of the week and weekends works best because it gives me even more time to play with your fur babies. I have a backyard and lots of different walking areas to take your fur babies. I also have one dog as well that loves others . But she isn’t home all the time some weekends she’s gone.
About: With a huge heart for animals, I provide personalized, attentive care for pets of all ages and needs. My focus is on creating a stress-free environment for pets while their owners are away, ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart is my dedication to understanding each pet’s unique personality and routine, so they feel secure and happy in their own space.

I stay home most days, so I have open availability and plenty of time to go above and beyond in helping you with your fur baby needs!

I also have no issue with coming to your home to care for your fur baby! We are also currently working on transforming one of our downstairs bedrooms in our home to a Rover Suite for our furry guests to have a cozy place to sleep where they’re safe and gated off at night, or if they need space from the dog pack while they’re here!

“She was great with my puppies and wore them out. We needed someone last minute and she was perfect for it. There was good communication beginning with seeing if she could board to pictures during the stay. Great sitter!”

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)
