About: I’ve took care of animals for as long as I can remember. I grown up around many different animals. I have two dogs and two cats of my own. They are my world. I am currently in college at Lindsey Wilson to accomplish my dreams of being a veterinarian!! I currently free and available whenever you need me. My schedule is flexible. I am currently employed doing DoorDash and Spark delivery. I do little side jobs as well. I show my babies and my clients babies the love I have to offer. I provide them with the care they need.

About: I have taken care of my own current dog, Mack, since I was 12. I've had several other family dogs in the past that I have helped raise and train as well, I've taken care of other people's animals before, and I have always truly loved all animals. ❤️ I love to walk dogs, or cats! I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet at any point this summer! I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby. I love him so much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me happy, and so I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too.

About: I have been caring for pets of my friends and family for years. I would love to provide care for your pets while you are away. Medication administration is ok. I am flexible and ready to accommodate your pets at any time. Providing care and attention to pets while their parents are away is my main goal. In my home dogs are welcome to enjoy a large back yard to play in while inside they will have free reign of the residence. I can provide walking if yards are not fenced and can stick to any boundaries a client has.
About: I began walking and offering dog washing services in my neighborhood at 10 years old. Since then, I have many years of experience walking, sitting, and boarding pets for clients in Maine. I have raised two cats of my own and childhood dogs. I am training to be a physician at LCRH in Somerset, KY. I am in my fourth year of medical school and training to be a physician and have ample time available to care and walk your pets. I can take social dogs on hikes and walks in the area, or keep more solo dogs on quiet walks around the neighborhood. I can board pets in my house and I have the basic necessities to care for your pets. I do not have a kennel.

About: I had many cats & dogs growing up as well as worked in doggy daycares so you can rest assured they are loved & cared for by me! I’m currently working part time which leaves me with a great amount of availability for your pets! I can do short notice runs as well. My husband and I can care for both pups and kitties in my home since we have no animals of our own at the time :)
About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!
About: I provide personalized, full-time all day care from home, offering a loving, familiar environment where your dog gets individual attention, like they're part of my family. Pet care is my priority, seamlessly fitting into my work-from-home routine, allowing me to provide constant attention, walks, playtime, and love throughout the day for your fur baby. I care for pets by providing a safe, comfortable space where they enjoy daily walks, playtime, personalized feeding, and plenty of affection. I ensure their routines are followed, creating a home-away-from-home experience with constant supervision and love.
About: I grew up with, and have spent my entire life with various pets and livestock, worked on horse farms, and provided house sitting services for individuals with multiple dogs, cats, and fish tanks. I also have experience farm sitting and providing care for horses. I currently work part time on a flexible schedule. With advance notice, I can easily work you into my calendar so that I'll be able to spend quality time with your pets, getting to know them and tending to their needs. I like to learn about pets' personalities and favorite activities and enjoy engaging in play to keep them entertained while their family is away. The life of a pet requires more than simply feeding, although I do respect those individual animals who prefer to be more solitary and quiet. I don't offer pet care or boarding on my property—I have 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 horses at home that my husband and I care for.
