Personalized care for your dog or cat - Artemus

“Billie was well cared for and happy when I came to get her. I didn’t hear much about how it was going/went but I trusted she was in good hands. Katrina was flexible with pick up/drop off which I appreciated!”

“Amanda took really good care of our babies! Loved all the pictures that she sent of them. It was such a comfort knowing that they were in good hands! Sadie & Charlie loved meeting new friends! Will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Kathy was wonderful! She went the extra mile, sending me lots of pictures of my cat throughout my 10 day vacation. Her communication was always prompt and my cat so very well taken care of! I’m so grateful for Kathy and her husband and will always give her the first opportunity to watch Milo while I’m away. Do yourself a favor and book Kathy!”

“We were in town for a sporting event at the University of Cumberlands. Our Airbnb did not allow pets. Sarosh is conveniently located to the campus, so drop off and pick up were very easy. Sarosh was accommodating to our needs, took exceptional care of our Australian Shepherd (walks and picture updates), and is extremely responsive to texts. I highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. Not only did I take care of them, but I researched everything to make sure they had the best life imaginable. I've raised all kinds of dogs from small to large dog breeds, cats, and many other animals. Currently, I have my Rottweiler named Hemi, who is the biggest baby who loves giving hugs and tilting his head on command! As a teacher, my summer schedule is wide open! I'm willing to work every other week and even the weekends on those week. I'll be able to devote my entire day to your pet. In your home, you can expect an honest and trustworthy person to come in and follow any directions that you provide. You will also get updates unless requested otherwise.

“Thank you for taking care of the baby again”

About: I have experience working at a doggy daycare and boarding. There I have learned how to bathe, nail trim, read body language, and deeply care about these furry friends. I worked with all kinds of dogs, ranging in size/breed and age. I also have owned dogs my whole life, as have my friends, which I pet sit for frequently. I can pills dogs and disperse ear medication. My availability is fairly open. I can be more specific with the pet parents as we connect, in order to find something that works great for both of us. I do not offer services within my home, as I live in an apartment downtown. However I will follow any instructions given diligently. I have experience in reading dog's body language, which will give me insight into what I need to do and how to keep the pup safe.

“I booked a stay with Katrina in advance of an out of town event where I had my dog along on the trip. It worked out very well with no last minute changes. My dog tends to be anxious in new situations but she stayed with Katrina and some of her young assistants and I think it was a safe & great afternoon for my dog. Thank you Katrina”

“Kendra was amazing, and took wonderful care of our puppy. She has a beautiful, large fenced yard and it was great to see our pup playing with her dogs. Fantastic dog sitting - thank you!”

Rachel A.

“Amanda accommodated our last-minute request so we could take a tour at Cumberland Gap NHP. Her home, dog toy basket, and large yard were perfect for our standard poodle. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs and cats in my home, until I retired and moved here. I want to be able to nurture and care for your pet, as either a sitter, or for boarding in my home. They would have my full attention, and be spoiled. I’m retired, and home most days/nights. I can give your pet my full attention, either by sitting or boarding in my home. Usually available on short notice. I don’t have any animals in the home. I don’t have a fence, but have a large yard in a rural area, distant from any busy roads. Would always accompany them closely when outdoors. The animals would have free roam of my home, including furniture and beds.

About: I’ve never gone a day in my life without a dog, and they’ve always been family — never just animals in the house. That same love and respect is what I bring to every pet I care for. With two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and giving oral or topical medications. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, understood, and truly cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep routines consistent. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions to ensure safety at all times. I take time to make pets feel comfortable and calm in their own environment, keeping things clean and organized before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
