Dog Walkers in Pewee Valley, KY

About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m working with so I’m not rushing between visits. That means each dog gets calm, consistent attention and a much better experience overall. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.

About: Every week I take shelter dogs on enriching field trips, helping them burn energy, explore new places, and just be dogs. That same care and attention is what I bring to every client's pup. I hold a Dog Shelter Handling Certificate and have my RECOVER Pet CPR certification, and I've worked with all kinds of dogs: high energy wrestlers, anxious sweethearts, and everything in between. I have experience with puppies, adults and elderly dogs alike, big and small! With me, your dog gets: -Fun, enriching outings tailored to their personality -Plenty of affection and individual attention -Detailed updates with photos after every visit My goal is for every dog (and their humans!) to feel happy, safe, and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work pet care into my daily routine and plan my schedule around walks and drop in visits. I prioritize reliability and consistency so pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I enjoy being active and flexible, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care in consistently during the week. I focus on making pets feel engaged through exercise, play, enrichment toys/treats, and lots of attention. I always try to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide including crating and I’ll send detailed updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have pet sat for family and friends for 2 years now. I have watched everything from dogs and cats to pigs and lizards! I am able to give medications if need be. I am currently working during the day for 8 hours. I usually stop home and will return around 9 each day. On the weekends I tend to be home more. I always make sure the animals are too priority while I’m in your home. Whether it when I wake up, come back or before I go to sleep I make sure all their need are taken care of.

“Gabriella was wonderful! She made the whole process so easy and we loved the updates. Our pups loved her and the walks! 10/10 would recommend and use again!”

About: Hi! I’m Cait — lifelong animal lover, Mama of 1, and someone who will truly treat your pet like my own! I can’t remember a time in my life without at least one pet in the home. I grew up with dogs, cats, and birds! Over the years I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, ages, and personalities for friends, family, and clients. My current babes are: a Mini Aussiedoodle, Koda, and a Tabico cat, Josie! I approach pet care the same way I care for my own — with intention, patience, and safety as the top priority. I’m attentive to details, consistent with routines, and mindful of each pet’s unique temperament. You can expect clear communication, reliable care, and regular photo updates so you always feel at ease. I understand you’re not just hiring a sitter — you’re trusting someone with a member of your family! I work full time from home so my routine is flexible and pet care fits seamlessly into that. Working remotely allows me to plan my schedule intentionally and provide dependable, consistent care. When caring for a pet in my client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and additional instructions to ensure consistency. I make sure pets receive not only their basic care, but also attention, affection, and engagement based on their personality — whether that’s playtime for an energetic dog or calm companionship for a more reserved cat! I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping spaces tidy and secure. I double (sometimes triple!) check doors, gates, food storage, and anything safety related before leaving.

About: I have taken care of many types of dogs and been around dogs and cats my entire life, and I have 2 dogs. My neighbors and family members often entrust me to watch their dogs while they are gone, and I also have experience with house/dog sitting overnight. I also used to nanny for a family when they got a new puppy and she was also part of my responsibilities. I am working part time right now so I can easily fit in walks at different times of days! I am also available on different days and have a flexible schedule. At home, I take care of my golden doodle and walk her everyday! For my clients, I make sure to give each animal plenty of attention and care with walks, pets, and making sure they have water (and food if applicable).

“Grace works patiently to gain the dog’s trust. Her questions demonstrate true care and concern. She ensures she is walking at the dog’s pace. Grace is professional, kind and considerate. I feel honored to have met her and trust her completely with my dog.”

About: Every companion has their own individual personality, and I'm here to adapt to whatever your pet's wants and needs may be! Myself and my two dogs, Richardt and Darryl, live in a quiet, kid-free house on four acres of fenced in land. The property is also located near multiple parks for added exploration and walks, if desired. Both of my dogs love other dogs of all breeds and sizes. Richardt is an 11 year old senior Boston Terrier with an incredibly laidback personality, and Darryl is a 2 year old Boston Terrier pup with a playful, curious energy about him. I've been working professionally with animals for the past 12+ years, and have been a proud pet parent for even longer. My work history includes five plus years with the Animal Care Society, Treat's Pet Resort, and PetSuites Resort & Spa, as well as caring for my own personal clients' pets for the past 18 years. I’m also a Level 2 Reiki practitioner and would love to provide holistic energy work as an additional service for your companion, if desired. Feel free to ask any questions you might have! Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking as I'd be more than happy to accommodate! I work from home part-time, which allows for me to be readily available to cater to both you and your pet's needs - everything from regular potty breaks, to photo updates, to whatever special needs and/or desires your pet might have. I'm available all days of the week, at virtually any time you might need. The environment your pet will be cared for in is one that provides calmness, safety, and security. Whatever your pet's desires may be, you can expect for them to be met by my two dogs and myself. If they want to play, we can play! If they want to nap, we can nap! It's your dog's world, we will merely just be living in it. I have two additional crates your pet(s) can use, if needed. In addition to crating, I also have a baby gate if you think your pet might prefer some time away from others at any point during their stay. You can rest assured knowing that your dog will have the perfect balance of structure, play, and relaxation when staying with us.

“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog! She is always on time, gives us updates on the walks, and helps adjust to anything we might need for that particular day regarding the dog's needs. I would trust her with my dog any time!”
