About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve cared for friends and families dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a female American bully but in the past I’ve had English mastiffs, pit bulls, and a border collie. I enjoy high energy dogs that love to run and play as well as older dogs that just want to play around and be loved on. I’m currently on summer break. I am an athlete at Eastern Kentucky University and have required practices every day but I’m gone no longer than 3 hours per day. I currently live in an apartment with a dog park on site I also have one friendly and very active pup to keep yours company. I will always be outside with the pups they are never out there alone.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—I’ve never known a home without a dog. Growing up, I had the opportunity to care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic Jack Russell Terriers to loyal Labrador Retrievers and loving Pitbulls. I was always involved in their daily care, whether it was taking them on walks, feeding them, or making sure they stayed up to date with vet visits. My love for animals has only grown over the years. Two years ago, I adopted my dog, Russell, from a shelter, and he has been my loyal companion ever since. I also have two cats, Chief and Reid, who keep life interesting and have taught me even more about pet care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I love making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a part-time Graduate Assistant, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for and play with your pups, especially on the weekends! As a dog owner myself, I know what it's like to worry about your pet while gone. I will ensure pets are fed, exercised, and groomed according to their needs. I provide loving companionship, and follow specific care instructions for each pet’s well being and comfort.

“Kailey has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sable. She’s dependable, punctual, and communicates clearly, which gives me real peace of mind while I’m at work. Sable took to her quickly, and it’s obvious Kailey genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s flexible with my rotating schedule and always professional. I truly appreciate her reliability and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with both cats and dogs in home settings. I currently care for neighborhood cats, including daily feeding and coordinating basic veterinary needs when necessary. I’m also experienced with caring for my own cats who have special medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and monitoring for changes in behavior or health. In addition, I’ve provided dog sitting and enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I approach every animal with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs. I'm currently working part time and have availability in the evenings and weekends; in June my schedule will open up significantly and I will have a lot more day time availability. I have two cats at home and take great care to ensure a safe, low-stress environment for all animals. I’m happy to welcome pets who are comfortable around cats, and I’m thoughtful about introductions and overall compatibility. I primarily offer care in pets’ own homes through drop-in visits and walks, which I’ve found helps many animals feel more relaxed and maintain their usual routines. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I approach every visit with reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also take care to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to keep things familiar and stress-free while you’re away.

About: I have been around animals my whole life and am passionate about caring for pets of all kinds!

I promise to go above and beyond to ensue your pets are happy & content during their staycation! I have 7 furbabies of my own: 3 pups, 2 kitties, and 2 free roam bunnies! They are my whole world. I am also one of the founders of a 501c3 cat rescue and am passionate about saving the lives of animals in need! I have previous professional experience working in a cat/dog boarding & daycare facility as well as currently as a dog bather in a salon. I can provide medication administration and am comfortable caring for pets with special needs as well as seniors and anxious/fearful babies. I will take my time earning their trust and love to build positive relationships with all of the animals I care for. I don't mind getting my hands dirty to clean up any accidents either. Your babies come first and I can't wait to get to meet them! I am currently working 8 hours Wednesday through Saturday so I’m available for morning/evening drop offs those days and am completely free Sunday through Tuesday to care for your furbabies! The safety and comfort of your furbabies is my number 1 priority! I will take as much time as they need getting to know them and earning their trust, so that they will be as happy as possible while you are away. My care will be tailored to your pets and their routines to help them feel as at ease as possible. I also love to keep parents updated and have a passion for photography, so I'll be sure to send you cute pics and videos of your babies!

“Thank you so much, I appreciated the photos!”

“Selah did a fantastic job. This was our first time using rover and she did not disappoint. She kept me well informed of messes, updates and earned our dogs trust. She even picked up our trash cans when the wind blew them over. Highly recommend using her to care for your fur baby.”

Kaitlyn W.

“Heather was absolutely amazing! She saved my holiday plans out of state by coming in fairly last minute when my previous sitter could not. She was absolutely wonderful and thorough. Her updates were so entertaining! She must be a professional writer! And the many photos to accompany the stories were much appreciated. It allowed me to enjoy my trip and not have to worry about my babies getting extra love while I was gone. She even visited with and snuggled them longer than the job required and that was very much appreciated! They can’t wait to see her again! I’m not even sure they missed me that much! Hah.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals of all personalities. I have two labs and two cats of my own, including a rescue we welcomed into our home, so I understand how important trust, routine, and a calm environment are for pets. I successfully introduced all of our animals and helped them learn to coexist comfortably, which gave me valuable experience with animal behavior, slow introductions, and reading body language. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic and anxious pets, and I take pride in making animals feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I also genuinely enjoy the little things that make a difference — keeping spaces clean, deep-cleaning litter boxes, sticking to routines, and giving pets individualized attention based on their needs and personalities. 🐾 Pet care is already a huge part of my daily life, so caring for other animals fits naturally into my routine. Between my two labs and two cats, I’m used to managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, cleaning, and making sure each pet gets individual attention and affection every day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care never feels like a chore to me — it’s something that brings me peace and happiness. I’m someone who pays attention to the little details, whether that’s noticing changes in behavior, keeping litter boxes and living spaces clean, or helping pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. My schedule allows me to be dependable, communicative, and consistent with the care I provide, which I know is important when someone is trusting me with a beloved pet.

“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”

About: With your pets permission, they will be loved on. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life and have pet sat for over 5 years! The only days of the week where I’m out for more than 3 hours is Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am at home otherwise, the more time I have with your pet, the better! I do have two cats, so they will likely be separated from your pets in a boarding situation, but I live next to a dog park so it is easily accessible for pups. I have many cat toys and treat varieties as well.
