1. Kim P.
“I'm felt very comfortable with Kim from the moment I met her at the Meet & Greet. I knew she would be perfect for the drop in visits. I had two scheduled on the same afternoon/evening. Kim was punctual, sent pictures of Charlie and let me know what they had been doing. Charlie looked active and happy in the pictures. Overall, a great experience and I will definitely schedule Kim again.”

“Maja is great with all dogs. She has a passion for all kinds of animals. She is very reliable. She will be there rain or shine. She has a dog of her own and two cats.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. However, I also worked in rescue for 4 years for a non profit organization in Lexington and fostered hundreds of dogs which gave me experience with different personalities and an opportunity to learn animal behavior. I worked as a vet tech for less than a year several years ago, but have some knowledge obtained from that as well. I do require your dog to be crate trained, as I keep my own dog in a crate for safety reasons when I leave the home. I have a degree in social work, but supervise a substance abuse program. With my job, I have 3-4 meetings lasting 1-3 hours each, weekly. Most of my work is done on my computer at home. Your pet would be in a crate for safety while I’m not at home (max 3-4 hour daily), as would my own dog. I have a 3 year old medium female goldendoodle (26lbs), who is very submissive. Her name is Sophie and I have 2 cats, Jasper and Alice. My cats stay off to themselves for the most part, but my dog would really enjoy someone to play or cuddle with occasionally. I have a fenced yard for safety and your dog would be welcome on my lap at any time, just as my own. I take my dog to the dog park a couple times a week, but wouldn’t take yours unless you asked me to due to not being able to ensure safety not knowing the personalities of other dogs at the park. My pets are vaccinated annually, have flea, tick and heart worm preventative monthly. My husband works out of town through the week most weeks and I have a 16 year old daughter who is also an animal lover. However, I would be the only caretaker of your pet(s). Your dog would be welcome to sleep in our bed with my dog or in their crate if they’re more comfortable there.

About: I’ve had all types animals my entire life, I’m very experienced with mainly cats,dogs, and reptiles. I love animals with everything in me and would do anything to protect them. I’m always free I currently don’t have any other job. I really wanted to find a job that I know I would love and I found this app! I have a fenced front and back yard and lot’s of toys, a few crates ( if needed) and other animal necessities. I have pets of my own that are friendly if they need company.

“Delanee was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!”
10. Greg H.
“Greg took great care of our pups. We were gone for a week and he sent us photos and updates twice a day. I could tell my boys were happy and comfortable while we were gone. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly.”
11. Madison T.
“Madison did a great job taking care of my dogs and updating me with photos and other information. She showed up on time and checked in every time to see if anything additional was needed. I plan to book with her again in the future.”
12. Rachel E.
About: I have cared for my own animals since my childhood, now that I’m grown I have 1 dog and 4 cats. I’ve been professionally pet sitting for several years. I’m a dog and cat lover and will treat yours like my own! I work from home, so I’ll be available to love on your pets as needed! My schedule is flexible. I am available most times throughout the week and weekend. I have a fenced in yard for my dog with plenty of space to play outback. I have lots of play space indoors for my cats including many toys and cat towers that allow them to people and bird watch!
13. Summer B.
“We can’t say enough good things about Summer! From the start, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring with our furry family members. We have two dogs and an elderly cat, all with their unique personalities and needs. Summer quickly built trust with each of them, which was incredible to see. Our dogs absolutely adored Summer – daily walks, playtime, and even the extra snuggles made them so happy. And for our elderly cat, who can be a bit finicky, Summer showed exceptional patience and attentiveness, ensuring they received the care and calm atmosphere they need. What truly stood out was the regular updates, pictures, and little stories that made us feel at ease while we were away. We returned to a clean house and happy pets, which speaks volumes about Summer’s dedication and attention to detail. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who will love your animals as their own and give you peace of mind, Summer is the perfect choice. Thank you for going above and beyond!”
14. Shaea S.
“Shea has taken care of Luna a few times now. She has been so great every time! She sends us pictures every time she watches her and Luna seems to really enjoy her! I would recommended Shea to everyone!”
15. Sara S.
“It was good having Sara be able to work with my schedule to watch my dog. She updated me on when she got there, while there and when she left. I will be using her again.”

About: Everything short of cutting claws and milking glands. We'll go out a lot together if that's what you’re after or stay in and play “hide the treats in blankets.” Skittish and vivacious canines welcome. I squeeze about thirty hours of my day job into odd slots around caring for my human and high needs dog. While taking two dogs on leashes to Vesuvius is probably a tall order, Central Bark or the Flatwoods dog park are no problem at all. There are so many rugs in this house that I don't care about that if your dog has an accident it is absolutely nothing to me. There is a 1/6 acre of about ten oak and maple trees directly next door for frolicking and my neighbor with her spayed female cat and fixed three year old Shepherd girl to walk over to. If your dog needs a little cooling off, most dogs like cooler conditions, and the five dollar coin op dog wash in Flatwoods
17. Courtney H.
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. For the past 6 and a half years, I have gained a wide base of experience working with dogs of all sizes and breeds. In 2019 I worked to train service dogs for those in need. From there, I went on to work at a local shelter where I maintained kennels, walked and played with the dogs, and even worked on training exercises with all of them. I successfully rehabilitated over a dozen dogs with major behavioral issues, including a rotty who went on to become a bomb detection dog! My love for dogs expanded to Vet-Med, where I have worked for over a year. I can perform CPR, properly and efficiently give medications, I can even bathe and do nail trims; but most importantly I can provide a fun and exciting environment for your pup - whether it’s dropping in to take them on an evening walk or keeping them while you enjoy your vacations! My main goal is to be flexible and convenient for YOU! I am between jobs at the moment, so my availability is open. I can board dogs week day or weekend, whichever you need. I can do house visits, drop-ins, and everything in between any day after 9am. If you need something earlier than that, message me and let’s work something out! I have a huge yard out in the country where your dog can get lots of exercise. I even have a long line in case your dog needs help staying close! I have a pup of my own, his name is Mr. Peanut and he’s a sweet, gentle old man. He loves other dogs, but doesn’t play much. He’d rather sit and watch his fellow friends play and he’ll be there to snuggle up with when it’s nap time. I also have 2 cats who are no stranger to dogs. They are a little shy at first, but when they come around they want all the puppy lovins!!
18. Jenna G.
“Jenna is an amazing pet sitter. I have had her pet sit my animals about 10 times and every time she does great. She actually trained one of my puppies. When I came home he was potty trained! I recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
19. Maya M.
About: I have had dogs all my life and am very good with animals. I have pet sit for my family members and friends as well. I am usually available anytime during the week unless something comes up, which i would talk about ahead of time if that would ever happen. i feed, bath, and brush, the pets in my home and would do the same for yours. as well as give them lots of love and my attention.
20. Darla H.
“Your pets will be left in the best possible care with Darla H. She is a trust-worthy animal lover and takes pride in a job well-done. She has taken in, rescued and loved many animals that others could not handle. I think she would be an asset to your company.”
