“Lane is great with our dogs and so sweet to accommodate a last minute booking when we unexpectedly couldn’t take our dogs with us on a short trip. Our dogs love running and playing with his dogs in their large fenced shady back yard and I love that they are treated like one of the family at Lanes. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hello! My name is Heather. I'm a 28 year old Boone local. I have 10 years of paid experience as a pet sitter. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, rabbits, hedgehogs, turtles, horses, cattle, chickens, and ducks through ownership over the years. I have professional experience working at a dog kennel for 5 years. I have worked with special needs animals including diabetic, handicapped and elderly as well as newborn animals. I have a home with 40 acres of land so I can offer boarding services for most animals and provide plenty of interesting hiking if your pet stays with me. I'm home three times during the day (morning, lunch and evening). That gives me plenty of time to provide potty breaks often during the week. I offer in home pet care and boarding. For clients wanting in home care, I can stop by up to three times a day and I can occasionally offer overnight care. For those wanting to board, I provide a safe environment with lots of room. I have house with a large amount of land and safe places to walk and play. I have room and experience with safely isolating your pet if there are issues with aggression or if you aren't comfortable with your pet being around other pets. Potty breaks are provided every 3-4 hours for dogs and longer walks or play at least once a day

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years. I grew up with a family dog from the time I was nine, and now that I’m in college, I have a fur baby of my own who I’m currently training. She loves people and enjoys playing with other dogs, so your pup will have a friendly buddy around! In addition to personal experience, I’ve also worked at the Boys & Girls Club of America, where I would bring in dogs for the kids to read to. Watching the joy it brought both the children and the dogs was truly unforgettable. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t wait to give your pet the same love and attention. I attend classes through the week, They are only a hour and half long and I have breaks in between. If I have to run an errand my furry friends are more than welcome to go ride along Making sure your pet feels loved and safe — whether in my home or yours — is always my top priority. I’m happy to let pets roam freely around the house and follow their normal routine, since I know from experience with my own fur baby how important consistency is. I want your pet to feel completely comfortable, so if they have a favorite spot to nap or prefer sleeping wherever they choose, that’s perfectly fine with me.

About: I have owned dogs from a very young age on and I worked at a dog kennel for 5 years! I have experience in potty training, training puppies, oral medication, and more! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and have owned both small and large dogs. I currently work from home M-F 9:30-5:30 pm (as well as most Saturday’s)! I am able to give your pet the attention required so we can have the best stay together! Your pet does not need to be crate trained, but I do ask that they are okay in a home for max of 2-3 hours if I need to leave in the evening for errands. If you have a puppy or special requirements, just let me know ahead of time!🩷 I live in a townhome directly next to our dog park! I am able to take your pet on daily walks as well as play with them to get out any energy. I can exercise your dog as much or as little as requested! I do have one dog in the home, Haven, who does amazing with all dogs. If you have a dog with aggressive tendencies, I do ask we discuss it before booking! I want to ensure my dog’s safety as well as yours!

“Emma is very kind and was accommodating to my two senior dogs. I felt like they were in safe hands for the day which allowed me to enjoy my visit. I hope to use her again. Thank you Emma!”

“Our dog Champ had a blast playing with Cricket! Hunter was so sweet and sent pics and communication was perfect. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I have always had a dog since the age of 5. I have trained and taken care of dogs basically my whole life! However, I don’t train, just have done the basics with mine :) I’m here to take care of your pet, and provide ease of mind so you can enjoy whatever you may be doing! I am currently a stay at home mom! I have a small, Maltese, male dog myself, so taking care of a pet is part of our routine! We go on walks and can allow for your pet to lounge and be lazy if needed too! My schedule is flexible, however there may be times I am gone for 2-4 hours at a time. My dog is very easy and flexible, so if yours is too, this is the perfect place! We do not have a fence, but we have a place where we can go on walks in our neighborhood. It’s very dog friendly! If your dog needs to be crated, they can be crated here. My dog is crated at times, but can also stay out, so if yours is trained, I am happy to let them stay out in the house. I can feed your pet at anytime, and provide multiple walks during the day depending on the need. I have a lazy dog, who enjoys sleeping most of the day, so I am able to meet your dogs varied needs!

About: I love animals! I was raised around animals all of my life. My parents had a hobby farm, complete with dogs, cats, chickens, goats, cows, emu's, sheep, ducks, pigs, etc. We bred and raised dogs of all kinds: huskies, dalmatians, chihuahuas, beagles, labs, golden retrievers, pugs, and so on. Since my childhood, I've helped feed, care for, and even administer medicine to our animals. I moved to Lexington KY in the Fall of 2010 and decided to take care of others' furry friends while they're away. I started and ran my own dog walking and pet sitting business for 7 years. I ended up closing down to do some traveling. But I sure miss getting out and spending time with my furry friends. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or just out for the day, it will be my Joy to take care of your pets. From midday walks and home visits, to puppy breaks and house sittings, I'll treat your pet as my own, and make sure they get plenty of lovin'. “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.” That’s what I try to live by. And I’ll bring that ethos with me everyday to Caring for your seeet fur baby or babies.

About: Hi! My name is Chesnut. I’m kind and compassionate and will love caring for your furry buddy. I have grown up taking care of my family’s dogs and have two of my own for the last five years. P.s. If you have a really active dog, I love taking dogs on runs or hikes or long walks. I work from home so available all week long. On weekends my husband and I tend to go hiking, so if the dogs enjoy hikes we will take them, but if not then we can adjust our schedules. We have an unfenced yard for potty breaks (leashed), but will take the dogs to the local dog park for exercise or on leashed walks/hikes.

About: I currently do not have any pets, but have had multiple throughout the years. I am excited to gain more experience and to take care of pups or cats. I currently work as a remote event planning intern, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with pups! I have free time throughout the day and evenings, while being home for work! I can do whatever you feel comfortable with when caring for your pet. I have a fenced yard and can take them on walks or can crate, if needed.

About: I love dogs and am unique because I provide not only a safe and comfortable environment for my clients' fur babies, but also personalized attention and care. My compassionate approach ensures that your dog(s) feel loved and cared for while you are away, and my years of experience give my clients peace of mind knowing their babies are in good hands. At this time I am only watching dogs that do not shed. I work from home so I am always available to attend to your pet’s needs and play with them as much as they want to! I enjoy going on multiple walks a day and cuddling up on the couch in the evenings. I live in a safe and clean location with lots of grass surrounding our cabin. I can personalize my care routine based on your needs and love pampering dogs.

About: I understand the stress of leaving your beloved pets at home for vacations, or just hours alone without you is not easy on your pet. I'm here to help make things easier for you and your furry friend. I have 15 years of experience in the precious pet industry where I groomed dogs and ran a hotel where I was state licensed for 40 pets per day. I know the importance of keeping your pet on their schedule and providing love and hugs to avoid anxiety while you are away. Special diets or medications are not a problem. I am a professional / trusted real estate agent looking to enjoy caring for pets again on a smaller scale than running a pet salon and boarding facility. I have a flexible Real Estate Career so caring for your pet in your home or mine is an easy an rewarding experience for all! I have one fat cat who is a cuddle bug and gets along great with dogs. I only care for one pet in my personal home. Pets are allowed on furniture and bed keeping them feeling accepted and happy. Dogs are walked on a leash on a pictorial lake view lot with lots of nature trails.
