About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who can’t wait to care for your pets like they’re my own. I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with their dogs, cats, and other small pets, including hamsters, birds, fish, and even chickens! I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits. Whether your pup needs a good walk or your cat just wants some company and playtime, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m always happy to follow any special instructions to keep them comfortable and happy. I also have one cat, Desi Jr., my little bestie of eight years. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet during the day, the evenings and over the weekends! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am happy to make time for what works best for your schedule. I can come to your home for drop-in visits, following any and all preferences your pet may have for meals and treats. I’m happy to take dogs on a walk on their preferred route, whether that’s around the block or to a park.

“I have an old and sensitive GSD that I am normally very protective over; I had to leave her for a week and the whole time I felt my dog was completely safe and attended to in Kathryn's hands. She provided meaningful updates and expressed genuine affection, support, and care for my animal. I would definitely have her care for my dog again.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old! Between looking after my own dog and my family's, I have the experience and love to make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve! I'm a middle school teacher in the Louisville area, so weekends are the best for house sitting and longer watching periods! During the weekday afternoons, I would love to help check in, play with your pup, or give them a nice long walk! Communication is the most important thing. I will always follow the wishes of the owner to make sure your pets are cared for in the most consistent way possible. Your boundaries are mine, and I always act in the best interest of you and your pets!

Please reach out if there is a specific time frame that you are needing and we can collaborate. I am more than happy to accommodate your specialized instruction for your pet In your home.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting dogs and cats since my early teens. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including diabetic dogs requiring insulin injections, blind dogs, pets with seizures, and dogs with mobility and potty issues. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra patience and attention to senior pets or those needing specialized care. I’ve also fostered dogs and cats through my local shelter, caring for everything from puppies and kittens learning the ropes to senior dogs needing diapers and additional support. My experience fostering has helped me become adaptable, calm, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, Murphy and Lucky, they are my whole heart and I love every pet I care as if they were part of my family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work overnight shifts from 9pm–5am, Monday-Friday, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule. I’m able to adjust my sleep schedule as needed, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care. In my home, I do my best to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, cared for, and entertained. I have a fully fenced-in yard that backs up to a park, which gives dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a separate guest room available if an owner prefers their pet to have their own quiet space during their stay with us. I understand that every pet has different routines and comfort levels, so I try to keep their schedule as consistent as possible with feeding times, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I’m happy to accommodate senior pets, puppies, and pets with medical or mobility needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping up with their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I always treat both pets and homes with respect and care, and I know how important communication and reliability are while you’re away from your pets. I love to send parent’s updates on their babies and we can work out details on how frequently you would like pictures sent!

“Olivia was tasked with visiting and walking our dog while we were on vacation. She was consistently on time, extremely good with communication and obviously has a lot of passion for animals and this shows in the care that she provided for our dog Raya. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Olivia was checking in on her. We will book her again for sure!”

About: Taking care of pets is not just a responsibility—it’s my passion! Whether it’s long walks, fun playtime, or lots of cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a hybrid work schedule that lets me work remotely half the week. On the days I go into the office, typically Monday through Wednesday, I can easily return home during lunch since my office is just a few minutes away. I have a cozy home with a fenced-in patio and it’s located just minutes away from several beautiful parks. At home, I share my space with my sweet cat, Nagini. If needed, I’m happy to keep your pet comfortably separate to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease.

“Athena was absolutely wonderful with Juno! She is so friendly and professional, and goes above and beyond. I forgot to leave my key for her and she came by my work to pick it up! Juno looked so happy when I got home, I could tell she had had a good day thanks to her walk.”

“Sam was great! She was able to help me out in a pinch. She was prompt and informative. She requested instructions and followed them perfectly. And Korben obviously loved her too!”

About: I have had fur babies all my life. From puppy stage to senior care. They are truly part of the family. I look forwards to loving on yours I have the please of working from home, fitting your pet into my daily routine would be identical to how I am able to send time with my own. I have a huge fenced in yard. I have one fur baby he is a bernedoodle who is turning two at the end of this year. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys the company. So I am able to provide each pet with the love they need I have very limited space on how many dogs I will keep at once. If your pet enjoys walks, we will go on walks, enjoy fetch in the backyard, we will play fetch in the back yard. Your pet is part of my family once you guys enter my home. I do have children who love to run around with animals also.

“Jen is not only the best, most reliable dog walker we have ever used, but also the most trustworthy person we've ever employed to do any kind of work in our household. It helps immensely that she is both energetic and calming. Our rambunctious big boy retriever is always super mellow after each outing with Jen. I wish we'd known of her several dogs ago!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid! I grew up with them. This is something I would enjoy. New to the city I work full time but it’s something can do my off days the weekends or holidays I am working full time so anytime during the weekends or holidays I am available so let me know what works best. I’m still new here. I think it all depends from each pet. There is always different ways of taking care of a pet as well as the clients needs.
