Dog Walking In Southland-Deerfield-Open Gates

“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”

“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”

About: We have had pets and been around animals our whole lives. We have years of professional pet sitting experience, and have worked for and volunteered with animal welfare, wildlife rescue, and farm animal rescue organizations. This has included fostering over 100 animals. We lost a beloved 15 year old pup last year who gave us plenty of senior care experience. We have flexible work from home jobs, so we have Monday-Friday availability for pet care services. We have regular evening commitments out of the house, but only for an hour or 2. Our weekends are usually flexible and open as well! We have a secure fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy time outside! We also have a crate available for high-anxiety dogs if needed. Cats staying with us will have their own room. We have two cats in our home that are dog friendly.

“Brooke has been so wonderful caring for my sweet Hank for his daily walks! She is always attentive to his needs and ensures he has the best day with her, and always provides me with pictures and a snapshot about their day. I know we are both going to miss having her around! She has been nothing short of amazing to my baby and I’m sure will do the same for yours!”

“Aubrey was great! She took great care of my dog! She is very nice, friendly, and kind! She was great at communicating and always left a detailed description of the walk with lots of pictures!”

“Kim is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Kim and asked if she could walk my two dogs for a couple of days. Kim kindly replied to me quickly and was very accommodating to my last minute request. She treated my dogs with so much love and care. She made sure to refill their water, give them a few treats and sent me some adorable pictures of them where they looked so happy! She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!”

“Very happy pup upon my return. Great communication and photos!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.

“Erin does wonderful. She has been taking my little pup out during the day for walks and spends her time productively with a good walk. She is very prompt with communication and shows up on time. She sends updates with pictures and a summary of her bathroom breaks. I will continue to use Erin.”

About: I’ve been providing excellent dog walking/sitting services for 5 years with neighbors and friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, throughout all ages. I’ve had over 15 dogs throughout my lifetime and they hold a special place in my heart! I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky and have classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. I’m available all day Monday and Wednesday. I have a loving and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog living with me and a fenced in dog park with obstacles to play on. If your dog requires to be crated I can easily do that too!

“Ariel did a great job with my pets... And was very flexible for my last minute change... Would definitely use her again and highly recommend her”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.

“Madison was wonderful with Thor! Love her!!”

“Bree is amazing ! My crazy Sadie loves her 💕 She is great about checking in with you and sending pictures.”

About: I've been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities since I was around 13 years old. Over the years, I've pet-sat for neighbors, friends, and family members who trusted me to provide attentive, reliable care for their beloved pets. In addition to pet sitting, I often volunteer through the Check Me Out program with the Lexington Humane Society, where I take shelter dogs out for fun day trips to give them a break from the kennel environment and provide them with enrichment and socialization. I genuinely enjoy spending time with all animals and understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether you need drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, medication assistance (if applicable), or simply someone to keep your pet company while you're away, I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I recently graduated from the University of Kentucky, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I am also happy to provide photo and video updates for every visit and maintain clear communication so you will always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're at work, traveling, or on vacation by ensuring your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm currently working part-time, mostly on the weekends. I am available most days during the week. My work schedule can fluctuate; however, any changes will be communicated promptly. I live in a pet friendly apartment with plenty of space for walks or playing. I do not currently have any other animals in my apartment. To ensure your pet's safety, they will be on a leash while outside.

About: I have lots of experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I was a farm kid, so I love all kinds of animals! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby - you can rest assured they will be in good hands! I am currently interning part time during the summer, so I have plenty of time to stop by or take your buddy for walks! I am completely free Thursday-Saturday for whatever time you need! During my visits I am determined to give your pets the care and attention they need, whether that’s making sure their living space is clean, playing with them until they’re tuckered out, or taking them on a fulfilling walk!

“Julie is the best. She took very good care of our senior dogs, particularly when one was very ill. She understands dog behavior and how to deal with various dog personalities, which is comforting when you are leaving your loved ones with others. My dog gets very excited when she arrives. She had a big heart, and I could not recommend her more.”

“Jordan is absolutely wonderful! She responds quickly and is great at communicating with me. She is reliable and great to work with. My dog adores her”

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve had a cat for the last 8 years and I have had a dog for almost 2 years. I have experience giving cats and dogs medication as well as cleaning up after them. I love using Rover and wanted to return the favor. I work full time but I work from home two days a week and I’m available most weekends. I also tend to be available during some holidays. I have a puppy who loves new friends and is good with every dog he has met so far. I have a park right behind my house so it is easy to give your dog some exercise. If I’m in your home I’ll be sure to stick to your rules.
