About: I work from home (even pre-pandemic) with my terrier mix assistant, Mochi. I have many years of experience with dogs, as pets and as a volunteer at a local animal shelter. Mochi and I look forward to making new friends by having other dogs over to visit and hang out with us. We are available for daycare or overnight visits. *Available Mondays & Fridays after 9:30am* Why I love dog sitting I have had a dog since I was a child. I have always loved dogs, especially rescues. Having another dog or two around gives my dog a chance to socialize & play while I work. (Otherwise he just sits in my lap or at my feet) About my yard We have a large fenced backyard to play in, to chase squirrels, & for potty breaks, but also take walks around the neighborhood.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes. From french bulldog to mastiffs. I grew up with Golden Retrievers and Labs, but every dog is important. I enjoy playing with dogs (especially mine) and I will consistently update you on how your pet is doing and pay close attention to their needs. I work from home so I don't have to leave your pet for an extended period of time and can watch over your home as well as your pet! I have been working from home for the past 3 years so I get a lot of time to spend with my dog! I like to set the first hour after I get off work to play with my dog because I know how restless a pet can be if they have some pent up energy. Whether it it throwing a toy around or going on a walk, the let's I watch get the attention they deserve! I prefer to watch pets in their own home. I ask questions about "do's and dont's", feeding schedule, what vet you generally go to, contact info, pet allergies, what phrases your pet understands ( EX. potty v.s pee pee). And any other information that might be pertinent to your pets.
“Katherine dropped in on our 2 cats while we were away. She was a great sitter. We looked forward to her updates and photos.”
“Allison did a great job watching our cats while we were on vacation. She is dependable and I am so happy she took time to give our needy girl some lap time! I will definitely rebook her next time we travel. It takes such a stress off your trip to know your babies are in good hands! And she was so quick to reply with questions or concerns.”
About: I have been taking care of others dogs since I was twelve years old and would walk to the neighbors house to let their dogs out and occasionally walk them. I have cared for all ages of dogs and all breeds. I have house sat for up to a month at a time as well as walking dogs almost every day for years now. I am currently a student at University of Louisville and have class Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I can provide exact class times upon request. I am also a member of the equestrian team but only have one mandatory practice a week that can change day and time according to my availability. On top of that I am also in a sorority but my only weekly requirement for that is a 7pm meeting every Sunday. I have two dogs of my own back home and have been caring for others dogs for many years. I am able to crate a dog if needed or leave them out. I can have had to medicate dogs before and never have a problem with it. I have also delt with a variety of personalities in dogs, weather that's shy or over excited.
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8.

When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family.
