“She did great with our dogs. We have one very energetic dog that we always worry about cause he gets excited, and can be hard to handle sometimes, she did great with him. We have another dog that is very nervous around new people and she gave our dog time and understanding, by the end of the weekend our dog was going up to her with big smiles”

“Tavia was awesome to my pups, we started with her doing drop in visits and then doggy daycare the last few days. She was very flexible and moved her schedule around to meet my needs during the 18 days we had her . I will definitely be calling her again when I need a sitter.”

“Oo was fantastic with Livie and we returned to a pet who was well cared for and happy to see us. Oo was respectful and kind, and communicated so well after each visit. I knew without a doubt that Livie was receiving the best care and being loved on due to the level of communication from Oo. She sent multiple photos and described each visit in detail. Truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her!”

About: Loving and caring for pets has been a part of my entire life. At a young age I started caring for my neighbor's pets while they were gone, helping lost dogs find their way back home, and training my own dogs. I started volunteering at my local shelter with basic care and also taking dogs off site for some fun outside of the shelter setting- walking, rollerblading for more active dogs, or just hanging out in the yard and working on training commands. I do it all for the love of pets! I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. School drop off and pick up times are all I work around. I'm also available weekends and evenings. I have a fenced yard that is cemented and turf. I do have my own pets so their safety and your pup's safety is of the most importance to me. My pups do not have free range of my home. With a spare room and tall gates I am able to keep separation if needed. I am also able to crate your pup if needed.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own young puppy. I enjoy taking him on walks and teaching him new tricks everyday, I already want another! But life circumstance won’t allow that right now, so I thought dog sitting would be perfect for me! I just would like to do something I love! My animals only need so much care and attention, so I thought being a pet sitter would be perfect. If it is a cat friendly and other dog friendly dog, I wouldn’t mind at all to pet sit at my house(my puppy loves playmates). Cat care and non-other animal friendly dogs would be at the clients home.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and animals love me back. I have two dogs and three cats who I love! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have trained them along the way. I love pet sitting and spending time with all the animals I can. I’d love to take care of your pets and treat them like my own:) I recently graduated and will have the next month off before starting school again and then will be available in the afternoons & evenings to watch and care for any pets. When I come to your home I will greet your animals, I will check to make sure they have enough water, I can feed them or give them snacks if wanted. I can play with them and take them for walks and make sure they are happy when I leave.
About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. Currently the proud pup father to 4 sweet babies of all ages. I’m currently enrolled in professional dog training courses. Whether it’s a new puppy you’re adding to the family or your senior companion, their time spent with me will be rewarding for both you and the pup! I currently have plenty of time and can fit just about any situation into my schedule! I’m looking to be involved with dogs as a full time career! I have extra crates at home if you would like your pup to be crated. If not, your dog will roam inside my home along side my fur babies to keep them company! We are in the process now of fencing 3 acres to give the pups more space than they know what to do with!
About: Hi, all! My name is Sophie and I am a pre-veterinary student at the University of Kentucky. I have been working at an animal hospital for the past (almost) four years! I am more than comfortable to care for any domestic species of any age and/or size! The animal hospital I am employed at works with all animal, from dogs and cats to snakes and birds! I am responsible for medicating these animals, as well as making their unfortunate stay with us as comfortable as possible.

I am extremely flexible, so it would be easier to reach out to me with your schedule and I can see how it lines up! Being a college student is tough, haha! I have multiple years of service expanding outside of just my veterinary work. I offer pop-ins, walking services, as well as overnight stays. I am more than willing for your friends to stay with me, if needed. I also have done farm stays and tended to livestock animals. Again, if you would reach out with a service you might need, I am almost more than sure I can provide!

“Kayla has been amazing!! I’ve used her for the past 3 months since my puppy was 5 months and she always sent photo updates, was on time, and took great care of my baby. I would definitely recommend her to a friend!!”

I don’t have a fenced in yard but they would be able to run all day as they pleased and run inside as they please and go on fun trips and do all that kind of stuff while they’re with me my parents also have a big farm so there might be days where I decide to go out there and I could take your pups with me and they can run and run and play all day long on the farm.I also never mind to bath them if they get dirty!
