About: My husband and I have had dogs and cats our entire lives. We currently have a 5 year old Husky, 2 Cocker Spaniels, ages 2 & 3 and recently rescued a 2 year old English Setter. We love meeting new friends and treat them as our own. We also have 3 cats. We work full time but 3 days we work from home during the week. We are available on Saturday and Sundays and weekday evenings on case by case basis. We have a large fenced in back yard and very friendly dogs to keep your dogs company and can crate your dogs or cats if needed. Can abide by your regular home schedules with food, breaks and walks.

About: I am a RN and have been a foster fur mama for several years. I have 4 adopted fur babies, Tripp(Havanese)/Kashi(Coton)/Barkley(Lowchen)/Maggie(Maltese), that all came from horrible conditions. I have nurtured these kiddos back to health and watched them go from terrified & malnourished to thriving & living their best life! My fur kids get along great with other dogs! They love to run and play in our fenced back yard, and go on daily walks at the Riverfront. We no longer foster (too hard to not adopt more lol!) So we decided to start pet sitting/walking instead. I believe that our pets are family and they are treated as such with LOTS of love, cuddles and belly rubs! Im pretty flexible and available most always! I work from home so someone is always here with them. If I am gone its usually to do chores and right back. We have a large backyard that is fenced. I have 4 small dogs that love to play and cuddle on the couch! They have their own living room with couch and chairs to lounge on. We also have a spare bedroom that they love to hang out in! Crate available if desired. Mine don't stay in crates but I do have an occasional fur guest that loves their crate. That's totally up to you & your fur baby!

“Everything went great! She went above and beyond. Will go to her again!”



“This was our first time leaving the dogs with a sitter so we were really nervous. Lynana and her family took great care of them and made sure the dogs got settled in. Drop off and pick was extremely easy and she was very flexible. We definitely use her again.”


About: With over 10 years of dedicated pet care experience, I offer more than just a watchful eye – I provide genuine affection and specialized attention tailored to your furry family members. What sets me apart is my comprehensive approach to pet well-being, encompassing everything from playful puppy antics to the gentle needs of senior companions. I'm highly skilled in puppy training, focusing on positive reinforcement to help your new additions develop good manners and essential obedience skills. For our older, wiser friends, I offer compassionate senior pet care, including administering medications, assisting with mobility, and providing the extra comfort and patience they deserve. Whether your pet needs a lively playmate, a comforting presence, or specialized care, you can trust that they'll receive the highest standard of attention and love in my care. I'm committed to maintaining their routine, ensuring their safety, and providing you with peace of mind. I’m currently a student enrolled at the University of Kentucky. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m willing to work with you to make things work for your fur baby. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable experience during each visit. I meticulously follow established routines, ensuring consistent feeding schedules, exercise, and medication administration as needed. I maintain a clean and secure environment, providing regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for in their own space. My goal is to minimize stress and maintain their sense of normalcy by providing familiar comforts and surroundings. Building trust with your pet is paramount. I use positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and attentive observation to understand their individual needs and personalities, ensuring they feel secure and loved throughout my visits. You can rest assured that your pet is in caring and reliable hands.

“Oh my gosh! Rudy had the best time! Like a vacation for him, with so much love and attention! Went joy riding in a golf cart, shopping at Rural King, walks, and lots of cuddles!! Thank you Dana and JR!!!”


“Our pup was so well taken care of! We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands while we were out of town. Deb and family looked after our dog as if she was their own. Highly recommend!”



“Debbie and her furry family was wonderful with Max. Lucy, Zoie, and Harley were great companions during his visit. Debbie provided plenty of updates with pictures and a video of Max playing and simply chillin in the house. Debbie truly loves animals.”


“Samantha did a wonderful job with my husky. Will most definitely use again.”


About: I’m a stay-at-home mom, now that my kids are getting older I’m looking to make some extra income and I absolutely love animals (of all kinds)!!! Caring for animals isn’t a “job” for me, it’s privilege and I would love to be able to give them the love and attention they need in those times when life gets busy for you. My schedule is pretty open for walks, playtime, baths and just about anything else. I currently have a giant lovable Bernese Mountain Dog and 3 cats ranging from 13 years to 1, but I’ve had many other types of pets/family members in my life too, horses, snakes, chickens etc. and am experienced with them all. Also I want to mention that I’m available for check-ins and boarding in your home too. My schedule is pretty open also including weekends and holidays. Also I am flexible to whatever time works best for you and fits in your schedule. I love taking dogs on hikes and getting them out to be in nature but fun walks around the block work too. . . .

About: Animals bring joy and purpose to my life! I adore creatures of all kinds and will do my best to provide excellent care for them every visit! I would love a part time gig on the weekends or a few evenings through the week to care for your baby. Fur, scales, wings, I got you! If your animals come to me, I have a big yard and privacy fence and do not allow my own pets to interact in an inappropriate way.

About: I've had a dog since I was 2 years old and that's a long time! I am a retired RN who is wanting a little more relaxing job. My husband is a retired Air Force veteran who ran the Military dog school. Although I will add all of my pets were pretty spoiled but very loved. I have a 13 year old Chihuahua named KT. I boarded a friend's small dog for a month and KT and my 15 year old cat Frank did fine with her. I'm am so looking forward to loving your pet ! I do travel several times a year . I do some home health visits but not obligated so I can always work around your pets needs. I live in a fairly large condo with a fenced in patio off of a sunroof. I normally leash my dog in front yard for quick potties and walk her 1 or 2 times a day. I have a medium size wired crate that can fit a small dog bed food and water for your pets safety if needed. I know accidents happen once in awhile especially in New surroundings but would prefer dog be housebroken.
