“It was a pleasure to work with Ryan. There was always great communication. He sent us photos and followed our care plan exactly as discussed. We appreciate Ryan and will definitely ask him to walk our dog again.”

About: Hi! I'm Kisha, and caring for animals has always been one of my greatest joys! 🐾 With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including 25 years of cat care and experience raising Persian cats, I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets, pets with special needs, and administering medications. I know how difficult it can be to leave your fur babies in someone else's care. That's why I go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible and provide plenty of photos and updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, belly rubs, cuddles, quiet window time, or simply having someone nearby, I adjust my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is simple: to treat your pets with the same patience, love, and attention I'd want for my own. ❤️ I work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care before work, during lunch, after work, in the evenings, and on weekends. I do my best to accommodate each pet's usual routine and my clients' scheduling needs. For pets staying in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax and feel like part of the family. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and rest while maintaining their normal feeding and care routines. I believe good communication is just as important as great pet care, so I always keep owners updated with photos and messages while they're away! 🐾❤️ Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾 I provide a clean, welcoming home where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My property has security cameras for added peace of mind, and because my yard is not fenced, dogs are always supervised and securely leashed whenever we're outside. Inside, pets have comfortable places to rest, play, and enjoy their surroundings. Cats especially love the sunny windows and peaceful spaces where they can relax and watch the world go by! I understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level. I take introductions slowly, provide separate spaces when needed, and do my best to maintain each pet's familiar routines. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat them and their surroundings with the same care, respect, and attention I'd want for my own. ❤️
About: I'll make sure your animal is well taken care of. I will treat them like my own. From a morning walk to a relaxing night, I'll be there for your animal. For me, fur baby care comes before myself. They get fed when it's time to eat, never late on that. Don't forget the morning treats for those teeth either. I always have an extra leash in my car. No fur baby ever leaves my eye site. I always walk the yard to make sure there is nothing that can harm them.
“Tiffany is fantastic! She arrived on time and took great care of my dogs. She provided photos and communicated during the visit. My dogs were well cared for, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time away.”
About: I’ve had at least one dog all my life. I’ve helped to train 3 puppies in the last year. I will love your dog like they’re part of my pack! I currently have a full-time job with flex scheduling. I work from home most days Monday through Friday 8-5pm. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I currently have one very friendly small dog that I can bring along to keep us company. We can play in your yard/home, walk around the neighborhood, or whatever else you would like.
About: Taking care of dogs is my passion in life. I currently own 2 dogs, an elderly hound and a young shepherd. My love for these two made me decide to have a career in working with and training working line dogs. This career path has given me a lot of experience with dogs of all types. Whether you dog is "hard to handle" or "easy going", I will be the perfect sitter for you. My entire world revolves around dogs. On days that I'm not working with my work dog or caring for someone else's pet, I am out training my own dogs. This is my passion and dream career, and nothing makes me happier. I like to care for pets at their own home. Being in their own home and following the same routines will make them feel safe while you are gone and will build a sense of trust with me. Your pet's safety and happiness is my number one priority.
“Liz helped me exercise Chief while my Mom did the overnight watch. I was informed even though Liz’s day job was extra stressful that week, Chief still received more time than I expected. AND Liz gave pointers/lessons to my Mom. I heard nothing but having a happy dog after Chief’s time with Liz. Thanks Liz!!”
About: I am a dog trainer at Feeders Supply Jeffersonville location. Everything I make from this site will go towards my career. I taught my own personal dog how to walk properly, sit, lay, stay, spin, to say his prayers, as well as many more when I had him! I enjoy any and every animal and breed I also have a few snakes. I request to meet the dog with the owner prior to any commitment to ensure they are comfortable with me. I took off house sitting temporarily due to past houses being unlivable. Anything else you would like to know, I am an open book, please feel free to ask! I currently work full time from home as well as dog training once a week as of now. My husband also works from home so someone is available to monitor at all times! My work schedule will be changing soon, however should have the time to do drop by visits if near by. I have two friendly and playful dogs that could be entertaining, but also know how to be patient when necessary. I also have a baby gate to separate pups, if need be. I also have two cats that joined our family that see dogs as other cats. They will end up playing with your dog by the end of their stay, guaranteed!

I enjoy going for walks and runs. Lots of play time and engagement
“Very sweet! Was able to accommodate me on very short notice, which I appreciated. She brought a treat for Biscuit, which he loves, and was understanding of his initial barking when she showed up. Sent me plenty of photos and texted to update me on how he behaved. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs since I was a child. I’ve been around all types of dogs big and small love them all. I have lots of experience with senior dogs (such as giving multiple types of medications) I am not currently working at the moment so I am free basically 24/7. I’m also available for any last minute bookings I do not mind short notice. I would care for your pet in anyway needed in your home whether that be letting them out in a fenced in back yard or taking them out on a leash.
About: With over 15 years of experience your dog will be well loved in my care. I am well versed with different breeds of dogs and provide attentive, compassionate, fun for your pup. I am a business owner so my schedule allows flexibility. I am able to accommodate your needs as far as how often your dog needs to be let out, taken on walks, etc. I am happy to come to your home and watch your dog in the comfort of your home so that they don’t need to get used to unfamiliar territory.
About: I’ve worked in animal shelters for more than a decade! Experienced with difficult behaviors, including arousal, resource guarding, stranger issues, and more. I use positive reinforcement only. Let me know what treats your pup prefers (or any allergies, special diets) so I can come equipped. I have dogs, cats, and exotic pets of my own. I love animals have dedicated my life to their wellbeing. I’m a skilled handler, my own dogs all present their own challenges (especially on walks). Experienced in administering medications, including injectables. I run with my dogs and would love to run with a client’s dog who is up for it! I’m also up for hikes, long walks, or just a slow stroll for my senior dog friends. Cannot accept client where I will need to use a shock collar, sorry. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility to be home or check in on animals. I love to walk and be outside, so if you pets enjoy sunbathing while I'm on zoom calls, they'll love my set up! I have a fully-fenced half acre yard and friendly animals. For drop ins and services in your home, I will follow your instructions to a tee!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail and the level of care and communication I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, or medication. I prioritize clear, ongoing communication by regularly checking in with owners, sending updates and photos, and making sure they feel confident about how their pets are doing. I’m also happy to help with small errands, such as picking up pet supplies or essentials, to make time away as stress-free as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. Not scared of dirty work, cleaning litter boxes, wiping paws and administering meds. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule. So I I have a lot of flexibility, for overnights and dropping by during the day. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary needs, exercise, and daily routines. Care includes providing fresh water, playtime, walks if needed, companionship, and administering medications as directed. I also maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, cages, and pet areas, and I ensure the home is left tidy and secure after each visit. I prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being while providing regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
