Catherine was SO lovely. This was my first time booking with her and will definitely again. I was able to be on my vacation with no worries at all. She took tons of pictures and videos and communicated so well.

Excellent communication regarding my elderly, disabled dog, so that I knew exactly how she was doing throughout the day. I felt Angelee genuinely cared about her, and erased all stress on both sides with her gentle, thoughtful care.

I cannot say enough get things about Kylie. She was prompt, great with communication, flexible, but most important my dog loves her. He was genuinely happier on days he saw Kylie and that is invaluable. Thank you so much Kylie! ❤️

Sara is the best!! I could not have asked for a better pet sitter while I was away for Thanksgiving. She was very polite and responsive throughout our experience which was very appreciated. She sent plenty of pictures of my Gino, and I know he greatly appreciated the playtime and socializing. She was wonderful overall and I will absolutely be booking with her next time I need a pet sitter. Thank you Sara :))

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, with experience ranging from dogs and cats to turtles and hermit crabs. I’m comfortable caring for pets in all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need patience, consistency, and basic training reinforcement to senior dogs who may require extra attention, slower walks, medication support, or mobility assistance. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I understand that each animal has a different personality and routine, and I work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they are my own. I am currently in grad school, so my daily schedule is a little wonky. My days usually start around 8 am and end at 4 pm. Besides that I am wide open to care for your pet and I will be able to stop by during breaks in my days! I am more than comfortable to crate animals if needed. I am attentive and caring, the same levels I would wish someone would give my own pet.

Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3

About: Hi, my name is John and I have loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was 15. I've had several rescue dogs, including a tri-paw Belgian Melanois, who passed away in 2019. I currently live with Max, a beagle rescue. I work five days a week from home, so will be with your dog all day. I'll take your dog and my dog Max on numerous walks throughout the day in downtown Lexington. I'll provide attention and care for your dog. There are are plenty of green space during our walks. Safety, wellness, and happiness for any dog under my care is priority. I would like to schedule a meet and greet, to gather as much information as possible about your dog. Thank you

Jeff was an awesome sitter for my cat, Dusty! He is a great communicator, and it was clear from the start of our interactions that he is a true cat lover! Dusty is an older cat with a history of diabetes, so the timing of her meals is important. Jeff came by for a “meet and greet” before I left and was so reliable while I was away, which allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my vacation. His pictures and updates always made me smile. Jeff did a great job of taking care of Dusty! It was clear from his pictures that he and Dusty made fast friends. Jeff also went out of his way to contact my neighbors and building maintenance when a leak appeared in my bathroom ceiling. I was on the plane flying home and unreachable, and Jeff handled the situation as a good friend would have, going above and beyond…. I am so grateful for Jeff’s care for Dusty and my place! I give him my highest recommendation. Thanks for your time and efforts, Jeff!! ?

About: I’ve always had animals whether it’s dogs, cats, horses, etc. I’m currently in school on the pre-vet track to take care of all the furry friends. I’ve worked in dog boarding for years, worked in animal clinics, horse stables, as well as pet sitting for friends and family. I attend classes at the University of Kentucky during the week, but I only have classes in the mornings, leaving me with the rest of the day to love on as many fur babies I can! I will be living in an apartment with a dog park and areas to have outdoor enrichment. I do have three roommates who all love animals like their own.

We had such a wonderful experience with Glenn and Terrill! They went above and beyond in caring for our furbaby, giving him plenty of attention, affection, and consistency while we were away. Their communication was excellent, and it gave us such comfort (and relief!) to know he was in capable, loving hands. Thank you so much!! We would happily trust them again with our precious baby.

Shannon was amazing with my 2 cats. One had been abused before we adopted her and is extremely non-social and very skittish. After a few days he was able to give her a little pet which is just a testament to the care he took with her.He sent great information and pics and I could not have asked for anyone better. Great communication, punctual, went above and beyond, highly recommend!

I valued Ariel responsiveness and conscientious care are for our two kitties. One of them is very skittish and the other one is pretty old. They both seemed comfortable with Ariel and came out of hiding to hang out with her--which is a big deal, and unusual! I am grateful that I didn't need to worry about our fur babies during our trip. If we have future trips, I hope Ariel will be available to watch them again.
