About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old. I grew up in a neighborhood so it wasn’t hard to find people who needed pet care. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me for overnight, boarding, walking and feeding. I am not currently working full time so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. It will switch to evenings and weekends once I start work again. Neighbors have always trusted me to be in their homes and with their pets. I have watched them for weeks at a time so this required being unsupervised with access to the property
“Shayna did an incredible job checking on our two dogs over Christmas Eve. She calmed my nerves as well, sending me pictures and videos. Thank you for loving on our dogs”
“Crystal was AMAZING! This was our first big trip leaving our pup behind but luckily we found Crystal. Instead of moving our pup out of her familiar environment, Crystal stayed at our house and took care of business. Our pup was comfortable while bonding with Crystal and Jadon. She provided our pup toys (that she brought), treats (that she brought), and endless attention. Not to mention a ton of photos that helped me relax more on our vacation. Crystal is professional and does an excellent job at what she does. My family and I plan to hire her in the near future when we go on other vacations. You will not regret hiring Crystal!”
“Erin was fantastic with our 80 lb. ruffian rescue for a week. She took great care of him, played a lot and took him to a dog park for some running time. We would definitely have her take care of him again.”
About: New to the area and am a huge animal lover! Worked in a small town veterinarian office, so I was always surrounded by others’ pets. I have open availability and am more than able to find a time to work around both your schedule and mine to accommodate the proper care routine. Whether it be my own pet or someone else’s, giving them plenty of attention and time throughout the day allows for a proper care routine.
“Katie was absolutely amazing. Our retriever was quite anxious about us leaving, and she quickly calmed him. He was great with her. Both of the pups were happy and behaved as though we never left. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Clayton was fantastic and made me feel very comfortable leaving my home and animals in their care. I got great updates and pictures and will absolutely be hiring them again!”
“Jessica was amazing! Able to stay with our kids on short notice and did a wonderful job. Absolutely would use her again!”
About: growing up on a farm, I have been exposed to a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, from an extremely young age. Over quarantine I adopted my first cat and he has been my greatest companion ever since. Due to his chronic conjunctivitis, I have learned how to properly administer various medications, both orally and topically, in order to levitate his symptoms. I currently only taking morning classes at my university, so I am practically free all day and on weekends to tend to your pets needs! I have owned and looked after a variety of pets, all with drastically differing personalities and attitudes. I believe that despite the difficulty some pets may present, I am willing to be as patient as necessary in order to make sure a pet is safe and comfortable!
About: I work hard to make the sweet puppys ( or adult dog) have a happy time as possible. Also, I having experience with senior dog who needs understanding and patients and just as much love if not more. I am general manager at a pizza shop, I am single. I would have time to help a dog or cat get attention or other animals. I have had mice, rats and fresh water fish, dogs and cats. Dogs need time to burn off energy, so I would walk with them , play ball or frisbee, depending on what they prefer. Also, bigger dogs from my experience like to tug on ropes or stuff animals.
About: I’ve raised all my animals from babies. I’m a very caring animal lover and would do anything for them. I’m punctual and very honest. I will make sure I’m giving any and all pets the caring and love they need. I always make sure the animals are fed. Giving them all the love and attention they could ever want. And going that extra mile to make sure they’re happy. In clients homes I always make sure to keep the place clean. Clean up after the animals, take them out if they need to go. Feed them. Etc. I always try to make sure that everything is in the proper place.
“Took great care of my dogs when I was out of town and very responsive the entire time! Would recommend Alexandria to anyone!”
About: My name is Misty and I would love to help you care for your pets. I live in Maysville and will travel to surrounding areas. I grew up in a family that bred and trained Golden Retrievers and Chocolate Labrador Retrievers to duck hunt. I have also leash-broken hounds, German Shepherds, and Siberian Huskies. The leashes I use are gentle-leaders. I do not use any other form of leashes as I use the pack leader training method. I reward pets with positive reinforcement and do not punish animals. I’m a disabled veteran so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I do crate training at my home and I have a 1 acre yard with a creek. Your fur babies will be happy and protected with me.
“Darian was amazing! She house sat for our three cats, two dogs, and backyard chickens. She gave us peace of mind knowing she was responsible, caring, and professional.
