About: Hi! I’m Jenna. I'm going into my sophomore year in college at Morehead State. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds all of my life. I’m very patient, compassionate, and love dogs of all sizes. From small Shih Tzu’s and Yorkies to larger Hunting Dogs, Huskys, and even rambunctious Labs! I’m flexible with care guides and times because I understand all Dogs (AND cats!) have different needs. I was a cross country runner in high school so if your dog needs exercised, I’ll have them tuckered out! I am willing to walk your dog, drop by and play, and even give baths if needed. If you have more than one pet I’m more than happy and experienced in caring for multiple at a time. I can not WAIT to meet your adorable furry friend! I'm currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. Just schedule at least one day ahead, and I'll be there when you need me! For drop-by care and walking alike, I will be available to respond and be more than happy to send pictures of your fur-babies having fun!

About: I was born and raised in the country, my papaw gave me my first dog when I was 5 years old who I named Charlie and told me that I was responsible for taking care of him. That's when I learned the friendship, love, and compassion that pets can behold. He was the 1st of many pets that I had, he lived till I was 17 and will always have a special place in my heart. Throughout my childhood to my teens, I took care of many animals usually dogs but there were cats, ducks, chicken, rabbits, fish, lizards, hamsters, and even befriended a bear cub once thinking it was a dog until my papaw realized and ran it off to prevent momma bear from coming our way. I guess you could say I have always been drawn to animals and I'm so excited for the opportunity to care for your pet, giving you peace of mind that they are receiving quality care. I recently decided to work from home so I could have more time to contribute to things I'm passionate about and one of the things I'm the most passionate about is caring for animals of all varieties. Starting out, I will be available 3 days a week but if there is enough interest generated, I will open my schedule up more. I will follow any and all care instructions given by the pet parent especially if there are any specific care instructions such as administering medications, avoiding allergies, and assisting with physical limitations. I will provide a safe yet fun and happy environment for your pet, making sure they are fed and hydrated while having lots of human interaction. It will be the next best thing to having their pet parent there with them. I can also communicate frequently with messages, pictures, and videos also giving you the peace of mind that you deserve.

About: Treat pets like family!! I was a kennel manager at my local pet boarding facility for 4 years!! I Know how to give insulin and medications as needed!! I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is very open and available especially during the summer!! Mondays and Wednesdays in the winter/ spring I am free except for the hours from 5 PM to 9 PM (Dance Classes) I have 2 dogs of my own very friendly they can play with. My house is very quiet and clean so your fur babies will feel right at home!!

About: Over the years, I have built a reputation as a reliable and caring dog walker and pet sitter, looking after both small and big dogs for multiple friends and neighbors. My experience spans various breeds and temperaments, ensuring that each pet receives personalized attention and care. Whether it's a quick walk around the block or extended pet sitting services, I provide peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their furry friends are in good hands! As a nursing student and extern, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate any pet parent's needs with proper notice. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, and I take pride in being able to balance my responsibilities while providing exceptional care for your furry friends. My reliability and dedication ensure that your pets receive the attention and love they need, no matter how busy life gets! When taking care of a client's pet in their home, I make sure to follow their rules and wishes to the letter. I understand that every pet has its own routine and preferences, and I am committed to maintaining that consistency. From feeding schedules and walking routines to playtime and specific care instructions, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away. Your peace of mind is my top priority, knowing your furry friend is in familiar surroundings and well cared for.

About: I will give your pets attention, care and love. I have very little experience but I have 1 cat and a dog I take care of. I wake up and I feed my cat, and I play with her. I then feed my dog and play with him. And then later on I feed them dinner and play time. I will follow routine if there is one, do as I am told, protect your pets at all costs, pets are our world, and I will provide the care that it needs and deserves.

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

About: I grew up with cat and dogs; types of dogs labs, Saint bernards, and german shepherds! I also have two golden doodles who are theee most sweetest loving pups! They love to play, run, or even just stroll through the park. They love watching squirrels and birds 😂 and also love chasing other dogs around at the dog park! I am already walking / running in the morning, and evenings and I would love to walk your dog. I also have watched many family members animals. I would take care of them for a couple days to even a few weeks. I figured a dog needs their daily exercise as well, and if their owner is too busy I'd gladly take that off their plate! They don't need to worry about it! I always keep the owners updated and always inform them if anything has changes. I do walk alot and I will definitely keep anyone updated from arrival to park and to home.

Added bonus Molly left treats, a ball and nice note. Would definitely recommend Molly for you dog walking needs.”

Jeri Anna R.
“Jeri is very loving and kind to animals... she very much cares for the animal's well-being and was very dedicated to ensuring our dog was fed and watered to our requests. She also provided helpful suggestions on ways to improve our dog's health and vitality. Kaya always got extra doggie treats when Jeri was around. :) When our dog was hit by a car, she went above and beyond to ride with me to the vet and hospital while holding our Kaya lovingly as we drove from vet to hospital and back home. She also took special care of Kaya and assisted in many ways as we went through this traumatic experience... giving us encouragement through the whole process of surgery and recovery. Kaya is happy and healed... and in no small part because of Jeri's prayers and support. We highly recommend Jeri as pet sitter. She will care for your dog as if it is her own.”
