Dog Walkers in Sparta, KY

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for a multi-dog household of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From high-energy breeds that need structure and exercise to older dogs who just want a calm, predictable environment—I adjust my care to fit what your dog actually needs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, crate training, basic commands, and monitoring group dynamics to keep things safe and stress-free. I’m especially mindful when introducing dogs, supervising play, and making sure everyone gets attention without things becoming chaotic or overwhelming. I’m also used to keeping a close eye on behavior and health—changes in appetite, energy, or mood don’t go unnoticed. If something seems off, I catch it early and communicate right away. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own: safe, structured, and well cared for… with a little extra spoiling mixed in. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be known, understood, and genuinely cared about while they’re with me. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to build my day around the dogs in my care—not the other way around. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including specific feeding schedules, medication timing, crate needs, or just extra attention for dogs who need it. Structured potty breaks are offered at least every 2 hours, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent supervision, interaction, care and additional breaks if needed. Whether your dog thrives on structure or needs a little extra flexibility, I can adjust to what works best for them to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. All care is provided in my home, where I keep things calm, structured, and closely supervised. Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs are not left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to actively monitor behavior, play, and overall well-being. I’m very intentional about safety—introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully, and I pay close attention to each dog’s temperament to make sure everyone is a good fit. I don’t allow chaotic, unsupervised group play. Instead, I keep things controlled so dogs can feel comfortable, not overwhelmed. My home is dog-friendly and set up with both secure indoor space and safe outdoor access for potty breaks and fresh air. I also maintain clean routines for feeding, water, and rest areas to keep everything consistent and stress-free. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own—kept safe, well cared for, and genuinely looked after, not just “watched.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets regularly since 2017, but I’ve loved pets for much longer. Once I adopted my first dog Mia, my love for her grew into a love for every dog I lay eyes on, and I quickly became the designated sitter for all my friends’ pets. I’ve done it all from staying at their houses, taking their pets into my house, popping in for walks or play dates, and even taking in lost animals off the street to reunite them with their owners. Anything that gives me a chance to show an animal love and genuine care sets my heart aglow. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, and that’s why when I pet sit, I treat your pets like my own because I know that’s exactly what I would want for Mia. I know every animal is different and I work with pet owners to set a plan for their pet and I follow it to a tee to keep the pet’s routine as regular as possible while the owner is away. I have extensive experience working with senior pets and pets with health problems (Mia being one herself), and I know first hand how important it is to find someone you trust to leave your pet with, especially if there are health issues, while you are gone. I relish the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby(or plural!) and would love to chat about a sitting care plan with you! More of my story: It all started when we adopted my family’s first fur baby when I was 8. As an only child, I’d begged my parents for a pet for years and they finally gave in when I was in the third grade. We adopted the last kitten left of the litter at the local pound. She was a black kitten that I named Roxy. Roxy and I were inseparable during my childhood, and I can’t imagine what it would have been like growing up without her. In 2017 when I got a place of my own that allowed pets, I adopted my first dog. Found on the streets, malnourished, severely underweight and her hair lost to mites, she had just given birth to a litter. I was volunteering as a dog walker at the local shelter at the time, and when I met her, I knew from that moment that my volunteer gig had turned into something much greater. I adopted her, and 9 years later, Mia and I are one and the same. Pet sitting is my only job so I have extensive availability for you and your pet(s) and can focus solely on your pet’s needs while you are away. I will stay at your home to keep your pet in its trusted environment. We will meet before you leave to go over routines and other details for your home and your pet’s environment.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, a rabbit, turtles, snakes, and fish. I currently have two dogs, a cat, and a snake that I’ve raised and cared for daily—my snake has been with me for 15 years, my dogs for about 8 years, and my cat for the past year. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I meet. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior pets, or more unique companions, always providing patient, reliable, and loving care. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me lots of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust easily to your schedule. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just giving extra love and playtime. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and care I give my own.

About: I have had pets for my whole life. Most of my friends called my house a "zoo" growing up because of the wide range of animals we had around the house, from puppies to snakes to pigs- we had it all. When caring for another animal, I treat it like it were my own. I always saw my pets as an extension of my own family and want to treat all animals the same way. I am currently home from college right now, so I am flexible. I have 3 pets of my own who I take care of, other than that I am free. It depends on the pet and their individual needs. I have a dog, but he is extremely active and loves being outdoors, so letting him out every hour or couple minutes is important for him. Whereas, another dog may not enjoy. being outside as much or have certain medical needs that prevents them from running. I love cuddling up on the couch with my pets (dog and two cats), and giving them affection. I also enjoy spending time with them by getting them active and playing their favorite games/ toys.

About: Since about 12 years old my neighborhood friends would hire me to dogs sit while their family went out of town. I’ve always had a huge amount of love for animals so I never had any problem doing so. Fast forward 5 years later my parents began breeding French bulldogs. My siblings and I had a lot of responsibility on our hands are far as feeding them, bathing, keeping them groomed, making sure they’re up to date on shots and etc. I currently work from home so that’s enables me with plenty of free time to walk, play with/take to the park, and feed your lovely animals! In my home my dog is crate trained. I do have a crate for my puppy for if friends come over and are not comfortable with him I can put him away for a few hours. I prefer all animals be crate trained , but only go to the crate if they would like to do so. I do not mind dogs walking around my house. I have a puppy of my own so every morning I get up and take my puppy on a 30 minute walk as well as every evening once I get home from work. I have an animal friendly house so I usually let pups/kittys run around the house as long as they’ve been fed and taken out for a potty break.

About: I grew up helping my parents take care of 5 dogs at a time (9 dogs in total). I also took in a kitten 6 years ago. Together I am well rounded to help with most sizes and breeds of pets. I am a nurse so my work schedule is sometimes wonky. I only work 3 days a week though, so just message me and we can work out a schedule together! I am more than willing to take your fur baby on a walk, can come over and care for them per owner request, can bring back to my place and care for if needed. I live in OTR so I have plenty of places to walk and parks to go to.

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life such as many different breeds of dogs and cats. I live an animal friendly home and absolutely love helping out animals. I have rescued and fostered cats as well! I would love to help those who need assistance and give your animals extra love! I am always taking care of my animals at home so I continue my skills and experience always. I am a college student at UC, but I am only 20 minutes from home! I love to take walks and spend time with animals as much as I can so fitting animal care in my routine is very easy. I am very responsible and loving when it comes to animal care. I have taken care of large dogs as well as small so I am very educated when it comes to animal care without different breeds. I am interested in house sitting, dog walking, and even staying over night if needed!

“Misty was great with both of our dogs. Even our high-strung Collie/Shepherd mix warmed up to her. Happy she is available to take care of them. : )”
