About: I am the proud grandchild of a certified crazy pet lady. My grandmother had five cats and two dogs for most of my childhood, so I am well-versed in the patience and love it takes to care for your pets. I work part-time and am fortunate to make my own schedule a lot of the time, giving me plenty of time for pet care! I also find myself out and about in the city all the time, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while exploring new neighborhoods. I know that your space is your own (and your pet’s, of course) and I will be sure to treat it with the care and respect that I would my own.

“Racheal does a great job caring for our fur babies! She is reliable and a great communicator. It is such a relief to know we can depend on her and I just can’t thank her enough!!”

About: I have always loved animals and been around them most of my life. I have taken a basic training course for dogs and previously owned them and currently own cats. I am well versed in giving oral medication to both dogs and cats. I love talking puppies of any age for a walk, long or short and know how to work on leash training. I've worked with senior dogs and know how to give meds. I would love to look after your sweet pet(s) when you are unable to. I work from home so I am able to work around your schedule to take care of your loved ones. I can do short distance travel as needed. I will follow all the clients directions on how they would like their pet cared for in their home. I am available for check-ins for any sort of animal you may have and dog walks. I love to spend time cuddling or giving scratches, playing fetch or chase, or just spending time so your fur baby isn't lonely.

“She done a great job with my dog and I loved the pictures. I was glad he got a nice, long walk while I had to work all day. Thanks for your help!”

“Magdalana took amazing care of my Chance! She was super responsive and helpful with accommodating my schedule. She is a great help if you are in town for a conference and need a hand with your pup! Chance loves her and would love to have her walk him again when we come back to Louisville!”

About: I have taken care of my families dogs and cat ever since I was 13. I have plenty of experience feeding, walking, and bathing pets! I am currently a student and work a part time job, so I am mainly available early in the morning or later in the evening. I have more availability on weekends! I currently live on an on campus apartment, but have plenty of outdoor space to take pets out. I can crate your pet if that's your preference and will give your pet plenty of love!

“Omg Mackenzie is a beautiful person. She loved on my baby Xylo like she was her own!! She is now family and I absolutely recommend her!”

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from small breed seniors to high-energy breeds. Jinger (My own pup) is a 6-year-old Female Malinois-Lab mix, so I’m especially familiar with energetic dogs who need structure, attention, and enrichment to thrive.  Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, rescues, and dogs with unique needs—including leash reactivity, anxiety, and medical routines. The wonderful folks at Southside pet shop had taught me Animal Husbandry by the book (literally). During my time there I had taken care of a wide variety of pets in a professional setting. I comfortable caring cats, and exotic pets too- I am more than at home in a multi-pet household.  I ALWAYS approach every pet with patience and empathy. I understand that every animal is different, so I change my care-style (never quality!) to match their needs—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles or medical needs.  If you need drop-in visits, house sitting, or just someone to give your dog an afternoon potty break, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and loved. You can expect daily updates and plenty of photos, Rest assured! Pet sitting is my full-time profession and passion, alongside my work as a freelance artist. I have professional experience in animal husbandry; I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy doing both traditional and digital art; my favorite are pet portraits! If there is downtime while I am petsitting, I’m usually doing art! In both my own home and when caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owners instructions, because I understand this routine is in place to keep them comfortable, and healthy. This includes using toys, treats and games to make their day rewarding and fun. Maintaining a clean environment is a top priority; food and water bowls are washed regularly and I always make sure each pet is fed according to their specified guidelines.

About: I grew up with both cats and a dog so I have experience caring for both! I also have cared for friend’s pets since high school so I have experience with pets that are not my own. Willing to work with both young and elderly animals of any kind! My current work schedule is on a week by week basis so I am available any time as long as it’s planned 3 days in advance. I will care for your pets the same way you do; send me any care instructions needed and I’ll make sure your fur babies are taken care of!

“Claire just starting walking my dog. He already loves her and for a dog that takes time to trust anyone, that says a lot. She sends updates of their walks and I trust her to take great care of him when I’m away.”

“Janelle was the kindest, sweetest walker! Although I wasn't home at the time, my mom said Janelle noticed Xylo had a lot of energy, and automatically started running with her!! I loved how in tune she was with her!! Highly recommended!!”

About: My beloved family dog passed away right before COVID and left a animal shaped hole in my heart. I’ve been watching dogs ever since and love enjoying all their different personalities. If you’re looking for someone to absolutely love on your pet, I’m your gal. I’m extremely flexible and understand that everyone prefers to raise their pets differently and I will respect all those needs during my time with your pet. I am open to most any accommodations needed. I love going on walks, runs, and hikes with the active dogs but I also LOVE being cozy in the house with sleepier pets. At the end of the day I’m just a girl that wants to love on your pet as much as you do! I am a local graphic designer. I have the convenient ability to work from home when desired so my weekday and weekend schedule is flexible. I live in a home without a fenced in backyard but am in walking distance to a park. I do live with my boyfriend and he is always begging me to watch more dogs so he will provide extra EXTRA loving on top of my own. As for house sitting I always respect your space and always try to leave it better than when I came.

“He’s awesome!! He’s the only person I’d let walk shi, she don’t like many people but absolutely loves him. His energy is great!”

About: I've been a foster and pet sitter for mostly greyhounds for the past 20 years. Before that I always had dogs of my own. I've gone through obedience classes and grooming, and am pretty good with most temperaments. I am very available and flexible, since I'm retired and work part time from home. Evenings, weekends, holidays, whatever works for you and your pet. I can come to your home and let your dog out, walk, sit, or feed. Safety is a big factor and I'll do my best!
