About: Since I was 15, I have taken care of neighbors pets and my own! I have had chickens, fish, hamsters, dogs, and currently have a cat of my own! I am available this whole month! I do have another job so I will need to know in advanced when I’m needed! I should be available most days. I am very respectful towards homes and would never leave it without making sure it’s tidy and clean up any accidents that could happen, I also am very communicative!
“Kaitlin was awesome—she responded promptly to the initial booking request and was super communicative throughout her stay with my pup. She took great care of him while I was gone overnight (and sent lots of pictures and updates). I would definitely call on her again!”
“Katelyn did such a great job caring for our boy and our house! We’ve already booked for our next trip. She is loving with our boy and responsive to us. Loved the pics! Thank you Katelyn for peace of mind for us and happy for our boy.”
About: I grew up with pets but once I moved to college in 2016 I started pet sitting often as a side gig and now I pet sit and house sit almost every other weekend for my friends who go out of town. —I’ve sat up to 3 dogs before -from pop ins to 10 day long house/pet sittings -from rescued dogs to puppies -pet sat cats too I work for a ministry on UK’s campus so I have flexible hours. I do not have any set days or times but am willing to pick up help when needed with enough notice! I do whatever is most comfortable for the owners! I crate when needed or snuggle them when they need it! I’m ready to take them on walks or let them run around outside!
About: I have taken care of my own current dog, Mack, since I was 12. I've had several other family dogs in the past that I have helped raise and train as well, I've taken care of other people's animals before, and I have always truly loved all animals. ❤️ I love to walk dogs, or cats! I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet at any point this summer! I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby. I love him so much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me happy, and so I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too.
“Jordan is truly a hidden gem! We feel so lucky to have found her, as we are new to the area and didn’t have anyone that we trusted to watch our 2 dogs. She agreed to house sit despite us making a last minute request and was so accommodating. She loved on our dogs and they absolutely loved her (which is great since they are cautious small dogs who bark at everyone until they trust them). She left the house cleaner than we left it and communicated the entire stay. She sent us adorable pictures and made us feel comfortable during our time away, and we can’t wait to have her back! Thank you, Jordan!”
About: I have a senior chihuahua who has anxiety so I know that older pets need patience and kindness and I also been around many puppies and I understand zoomies are needed for a happy healthy pet. I currently on summer break. So I’m available to walk local pets in the northaven area. I’m also available when I’m not babysitting my niece to be a pet sitter. I always go out side with the pets even if the yards fenced in to make sure they are safe I also have experience with elderly and anxious pets and know that they need a bit more care and love then other animals.

“Jade is my GO TO petsitter! She is the friendliest person who greets my doggys with such care! My 2 miniature dachshunds LOVE Jade!!! Sometimes I wonder if they love her more than us. My dogs are NOT easy to take care of… high anxiety, many accidents, high care needs, need lots of affection and play, special diet, and loud barking… and she helps us so much! She takes instructions very well. She is trustworthy. While we were away, one of our dogs tore up their dog bed… she handled this with such care going above and beyond. She calmly called us immediately to let us know and cleaned up the mess. We love Jade so much!”
