“We have a farm and Terry did a great job looking over all of our animals (chickens, pigs, cats, dogs, horses). He went above what we asked and even vacuumed and cleaned the litterboxes for our return. He successfully gave meds to our temperamental chihuahua as well and kept us thoroughly updated on how she was doing.”

“Tiffany did an amazing job taking care of our three girls for 9 days! She spent extra time with them during drop ins because it was a longer trip which was greatly appreciated by us and the dogs!”

“It was our first time using Rover. We are so happy that we chose Rachael to watch Bear and Zelda. She did an amazing job. She followed our directions for their feeding and took such good care of their needs. We definitely would use her again.”

“Reagan took great care of all FOUR of our dogs over the weekend and treated them they were her own. She communicated often so we knew they were having a great time. We can’t wait to have her come back!”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve cared for friends and families dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a female American bully but in the past I’ve had English mastiffs, pit bulls, and a border collie. I enjoy high energy dogs that love to run and play as well as older dogs that just want to play around and be loved on. I’m currently on summer break. I am an athlete at Eastern Kentucky University and have required practices every day but I’m gone no longer than 3 hours per day. I currently live in an apartment with a dog park on site I also have one friendly and very active pup to keep yours company. I will always be outside with the pups they are never out there alone.
About: I've been working with dogs since I was 9 years old. It started at a summer camp located at my local shelter and at home with our own dogs. At 18 I helped foster 2-week-old kittens that were born in our front yard and abandoned by their mom. I have worked with many different dogs and have been house sitting since I was 16 years old with different types of dogs and different care levels, from needing to give elderly dogs medication to hyper puppies who need lots of play time. I fit in Pet care into my daily routine by waking up at a specific time every morning to take care my own dog out for a morning potty break, then it is breakfast time, then an hour after is a morning walk, after I have lunch is a shorter afternoon walk and before dinner is an evening walk, with several potty breaks scattered reasonably every 3 hours to make sure. Sometimes I take my own dog on small hikes or to the dog park to get some more socialization in. Outside of my hobbies and schooling pet care is my life. This does depend on what I am hired for, if I am hired for potty breaks and play time then I do just that, I arrive at the home, let the dog out to go potty, take a walk play with some toys. If I am housesitting, then I follow the schedule the owners have their dogs on as to not disrupt the dog's stability.
About: I have had extensive experience with dogs, cats and exotic pets! Everything from personally caring for my own dog with allergies and anxiety to caring for medical fosters. I am experienced with high need pets and able to adapt my behavior to thier needs. I have a flexible schedule this summer and would love to help you out! Right now I am taking the summer to get ready for graduate school. This means I have a super open and flexible schedule. My day typically starts with exercise and ends with reading a book. This leaves plenty of time for me to meet and accommodate your needs. Care for pets is often determined but the pet themselves. Do you have a high energy working breed or an anxious low energy chihuahua? I am fully prepared to meet you and your pet where you are at!
“One of the best dog sitters we’ve had. Dogs were well taken care of. She took good care of our house and I am overall pleased with her services! She kept us well informed while we were gone. I would recommend Molly over and over again”


“We are beyond thankful for Emily, taking care of our cat and dog for an extended holiday weekend! She was great with communication, updates, and was flexible with some additional sudden needs when our dog was sick right before Emily was scheduled to take care of her. She was great with administering all medications. We will definitely being using her again soon!!”

Love al furbabies Currently coaching at EKU the cheer team and looking for some extra money! This is a dream job for me! Will watch at your house! I have 4 friendly dogs and they love other animals!

About: (I Speak English & Spanish) I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have years of experience caring for pets belonging to friends and family as well. From walks, feeding, and bathing to bottle-feeding puppies, I truly love and care for pets of all ages. We have a fenced yard where your pup can safely run and play while always being supervised. I’d also love to take your fur baby on walks around our 20-acre property - we can walk down to the barn, explore the land, and enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise together. I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky, and I schedule all of my classes on just two days a week, so I’m home most of the time. My husband also works from home, which means your pet will always have company and will never be left alone. During your pet’s stay, I’ll send plenty of pictures and videos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I’ve also completed dog training classes and would be happy to practice basic commands or even teach your pup a few fun tricks! My schedule is very flexible, so whether you need care planned in advance or last-minute help, I’m here for you and your fur baby. 😃 I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky and attend classes only twice a week. My husband works from home, so there is always someone at home. Because of that, we’ll have plenty of time and attention to give your pups, making sure they’re well cared for, played with, and loved while they’re with us. I have a fenced in yard, and they will never be without supervision. I have a friendly Golden Retriever to keep you fur baby company as well. I also have crates, so if needed or if you would prefer, the crates are accessible. If you have a pet in heat, and you need to go out for a while, no worries just let me know and I can accommodate to make sure your fur baby has fun and is also kept safe.
About: One of the hardest things to do is trust someone to care for your pet, to make them feel safe, and treat them as family members while you’re away. That is the care I strive for with every visit! Because being away from your hoomans can feel uncertain, I provide extra play time and extra love. I also clean up their messes—if there are any, and I’m happy to help with the occasional chore when you have to be away for more than a couple of days! I am also committed to working closely with you to provide tailored care and companionship. I provide clear communication, pictures of your babies with each visit. I bring experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful youngsters to wise seniors—along with expertise in administering medications and supporting animals with special needs. Note: I’m no longer able to offer boarding services. One of my own sweet boys is getting up in years—he’s a little more fragile, and a little less patient than he once was, and I worry that boarding a stranger would cause him a lot of unnecessary stress. I work from home — this allows me some flexibility and the ability to customize my breaks and lunch based on the needs of my clients. When caring for pets in the home of my clients, it’s important to remember that the little one that I’m caring for is likely stressed because their mom and/or dad are gone, and there is a stranger (me) in their home. With that in mind, I typically spend more time with them than what is required by Rover because they need the extra time to feel comfortable with me. I take time to try to get to know them and help them feel more at ease. I treat them with the same amount of compassion I want for my own!
About: We work from home full-time, which means your pup will get lots of supervision, attention, companionship, and cuddles throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Dogs staying with us typically get up to two walks a day, usually 1–2.5 mile walks at nearby trails. If your pup enjoys walks and adventures, they’re welcome to join! We also make sure dogs have plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention depending on their personality and energy level. We genuinely love pets and try to make them feel like part of the family while they’re here. Whether your dog is playful, cuddly, shy, energetic, or prefers a calmer environment, we do our best to adapt to their needs and routine. We're also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and we aim to create a safe, loving environment where both you and your pup feel comfortable. I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I take my dog on walks twice a day for 1-2.5 miles in the park and typically spend the rest of the day at home, treating your babies like my own. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance from a park with wooded trails. I have a friendly pup in my home who loves having friends to play with. I will care for your pets like my own!
About: I have experience with puppy training basics, including house training reinforcement, crate training, leash manners, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m patient, calm, and positive, which helps young dogs learn while feeling safe and confident. For senior pets, I provide attentive, compassionate care, including administering medications, assisting with mobility, sticking to specialized diets, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I understand that older pets need extra patience and gentle handling, and I make their comfort a top priority. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and trustworthy care while keeping owners updated and worry-free. I am currently staying at home due to a lapse in full time work! Taking care of my pets is naturally in my daily routine as well as working on commission based art work. When it comes to taking care of pets in home, I am able to safely separate them from my other pets if need be. All of my pets are vaccinated! I do not have a fenced in yard, however I do have a gated porch! If your pups need walked they will be safely walked on a leash or they can be placed in my outside kennel if requested by you! :) pets are allowed on furniture!

About: With your pets permission, they will be loved on. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life and have pet sat for over 5 years! The only days of the week where I’m out for more than 3 hours is Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am at home otherwise, the more time I have with your pet, the better! I do have two cats, so they will likely be separated from your pets in a boarding situation, but I live next to a dog park so it is easily accessible for pups. I have many cat toys and treat varieties as well.
