Dog Walkers in Prospect, KY

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".

“Lauran was fantastic while I was visiting Louisville for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby weekend. Her communication was top notch, always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the two days. I especially appreciated her flexibility when I needed to add an extra walk at the last minute, she was incredibly accommodating and handled it without any issues. It’s a huge relief to find someone so reliable and easy to work with when you're visiting another city for an event. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and adaptable walker!”

About: I have owned and cared for animals for 40 years. I have been responsible for the daily care of dogs, horses, cats, and exotic birds as a horse groom and petsitter. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 senior cats of my own. I am currently working as a part time contractor doing software consulting work. My schedule is flexible and able to work around any pet care work I do. I also have over 10 years of experience in dog showing and have cared for both dogs and cats with a wide range of special needs. From senior pets and special diets to medical routines and individualized care, I understand how important it is to maintain consistency, patience, and compassion. I currently care for a diabetic senior cat and previously cared for my senior Pointer who required lifelong dietary management for bladder stones. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires extra attention, I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care tailored to their needs.

About: As a proud owner of two energetic Australian Shepherds, I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and love in a pet’s daily routine. I have hands on experience with basic puppy training and enjoy staying active through regular walks. My pets are family to me, and I’ll treat yours with that same level of care, attention, and respect. I have a flexible, work from home schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent care and attention throughout the day! This includes regular walks and companionship! In my home, pets get a safe, loving environment with regular walks, playtime, and attention. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely and make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and well exercised.

“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.”

“Zane warmed up to Annie right away upon her visit. When we got home from being away all day, Zane was perfectly normal and he’s a dog who has had separation anxiety in the past. Great photos of Zane while she was walking him; he looked like he enjoyed the time.”

“Tabitha made for an excellent first time experience with Rover! She was exactly what we wanted for our puppy while we were away on vacation. She was timely, professional, and seemed to really enjoy what she does which makes a difference. Thank you so much for entertaining our wild child while we were gone!”

About: Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. Have owned as many as 5 at one time, as well as fostering dogs, cats and kittens, including a special needs beagle with degenerative myelopathy (he had a cool wheelchair :) . I love them all and will care for them like they are my own. I will scratch and play and provide belly rubs on command. If I sit for your dog in my home, my cat, Frankie, will just roll her eyes and move on :) I am happy to work with the schedule you prefer for your furry kids, even if it's not the same as mine. Please contact me with questions, I am happy to chat first so we are both comfortable. I am currently working from home and available to have a furry office mate all day, they can even join my Zoom calls if they are into that sort of thing I have a fenced yard and a special “dog room” with toys a few different sized crates for when they need some space from my cat 😊.

“she was great. went above and beyond for my dog. he loves her and will use her again in the future.”

About: To say I am an animal lover is an understatement. Not only have I always had dogs of my own who are cared for meticulously, but I've cared for others' dogs and animals many times over the years (from the largest breed to the smallest). I've also been known to pick up stray animals and make sure they are taken care of! I would love to help you with your best friend, whether large or small, canine or feline. I promise your pets will be safe and well-cared for under my supervision. My schedule is very flexible and I will make sure all of your pets needs are met. You won't be disappointed if you pick me to care for your pets!

“Alexis has been great with our Rosie! She has been on time, and left great feedback on the app to keep us informed! She even came over to do a meet and greet with us and our dog before walking her for the first time to make us all more comfortable.”

About: Ive grown up with dogs my entire life, so have much experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I’ve cared for big breeds like Labs and poodles as well as smaller pups like shih tzus and malshipoos. Over the years, I’ve dogsat for various families in my neighborhood, friends, & families from feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping their pets safe and happy while they were away. Whether it’s an energetic run around the yard or quiet time for an older dog, I know how to tailor care to every pup’s personality and routine. My schedule is completely open aside from one online class from 11am–1pm each day, so I have tons of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks both during the week and on weekends, and I’ll always make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention. When caring for your dog in your home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and comforting as possible—whether that’s maintaining feeding schedules, giving them space if they’re shy, or keeping them engaged if they’re high-energy. I don’t have a fenced yard, so I’m especially attentive on walks and outdoor time. I’m happy to follow any routine needed and always aim to keep your pet’s safety and happiness at the center of everything I do.

About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I have a bachelors degree in Animal Science and multiple years of experience working as a veterinary technician. I also volunteer for the KY Humane Society and frequently foster newborn kittens until they are big enough to be adopted. I have a senior pup of my own at home so I understand what it takes to care for pets who may need a little extra TLC. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care is currently my full time position, alongside planning my July wedding! This leaves my schedule very flexible and open, allowing me to provide quality care for your pets! I am well educated in animal training and behavior. I have worked with animals of all different sizes and personalities in the past, and will be able to accommodate my care according to the specific needs of your pet.

About: My name is Olivia and I am a registered nurse who loves hanging out with dogs on my days off! I currently work 3 shifts a week at the hospital so I have plenty of free time to devote to new fur friends! I have 2 Welsh Corgis named Lola and Walter who are my pride and joy and my best friends! I have been taking care of pets my whole life and I am very passionate about my love for fluffy friends! My friends would say I am very compassionate, responsible, and I have a great sense of humor. I am an excellent dog photographer and videographer so I am happy to send you pictures of your fur babies while you are away! I am also a big fan of fetch, long walks, and snuggles. It would be an honor and a privilege to give your dogs the love and attention that they deserve! I only work 3 days per week, so I am available for walks and check ins during the week and I can house sit on the weekends. I always work with the family to set up a schedule before each visit. I can adapt to any feeding, bathroom, and walk times that work best with the pet. I will always do whatever I can to make the pet and family feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

“Jerome was so awesome! We had to reschedule a few times and he was very understanding and flexible. He kept us up to date with photos and texts during walks. I'd highly recommend him as a walker!!”
