“Emily and her husband were so nice and were perfect for my dog, Cassie. I got updates daily about her play and how she was doing along with pictures and videos. Their home is spacious, has a fenced in (good sized) backyard with lots of room for playtime! My girl did great with her dogs who were also very good hosts. I am already in talks with Emily about watching my girl again in a few months for our next trip. Highly recommend.”
“Brent took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation. He provided lots of photos, videos, and updates which were much appreciated. We would highly recommend him for boarding or any other offered services”
“Stella looks forward to her stays with Andrew's family and Cosmo. I appreciate their time taking care of Stella when we can't. Peace of mind, for sure. Communication and feedback has been great! We are looking forward to our next stay!”
“Valerie was excellent! She took great of our dog, sent regular updates, and managed his eye condition well. An added bonus is her sweet dog Ollie who was great company for our dog and kept him at ease.”
“Erin and her husband were amazing!! They took excellent care of our dog, Nash, while we were traveling. He got numerous walks while staying with them and came home ready to nap (which is always nice when we are also coming back from traveling)! Would highly recommend and Nash absolutely cannot wait to stay with his new friends again!”
“Ann, was awesome. She was able to accommodate my last minute request. She also met me and picked up Charly. She sent some regular updates and even took some great pictures of Charly.”
“My dog thoroughly enjoyed her time with Kristin and her family. I told Kristin that I was nervous about leaving my dog, so they sent me messages and pictures of my pup enjoying her day. I knew my dog was safe, well-cared for, and having fun! We were quite pleased with the care Kristin gave our girl.”
“Megan takes such good care of Sophie! Sophie is on more meds now that she’s older and Megan is so good about asking any questions and keeping up with the medication chart. We were unable to fly home after the Caribbean air space was shut down and Megan kept Sophie even longer until we returned. We appreciated it so much. We will definitely book with Megan again!”
“I can only really know how things went for my cat Teacup when she is boarded by how she behaves once she’s back home. After her 2 night stay with Natasha she seemed happy to be home, but otherwise very calm. Unlike other times when she meowed non-stop for 2 days as if she were trying to tell me all was not as it should have been. This time she hardly meowed at all. Natasha and her 2 daughters seem comfortable with both cats and dogs which of course reassures their guests that they are safe and loved. For Teacup that is everything. I think Teacup wouldn’t mind a return visit in the future. I can recommend Natasha for cat boarding.”
“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
“Gloria was amazing with my Riley! I contacted her super last minute due to an emergency and she was very willing to accommodate our needs- she even gave him a bath! I cannot recommend her enough. We’ll be booking again with Gloria!”
About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“Butterscotch had a great vacation at Cheyenne’s! It was clear from the photos that she was very well taken care of and loved on lots! I super appreciated Cheyenne’s clear communication style and flexibility around my schedule.”
“Ana was great with my Maltese/shih Tzu. This is the first time she’s stayed with anyone more than two days, so we (me & dog) were both a little nervous for this weeklong stay. But Ana sent me a picture and video so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I’ll definitely use her again. Very pleased!”
“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
“Brian clearly treated our beagle very well! He gave her plenty of exercise (which she needs), and kept us appraised on how she was doing. A very good caregiver, all in all!”
About: We came across the Cavapoo breed as our loving Rottweiler was on his journey to his “better place”. We chose the Cavapoo breed as our furry rainbow puppy to help us all with the tough loss.

We have also built a 200 square foot doggie palace on our property. Full electricity with heating/air and additional ceiling fan. Great for rainy days or dogs who are lone rangers and/or feisty.

“I was quickly at ease with Debbie taking care of my cat for an extended period of time. Her love for animals is evident, and I’m thankful that my cat received the love and attention he is used to while I was away.”
“We cannot recommend Laura enough! She took such wonderful care of our cat, Phineas, while we were away. Laura is incredibly kind, caring, and trustworthy, and it was obvious from the start that she truly loves the animals she cares for. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy, relaxed, well-loved cat, and that means everything to us. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: As a cat owner and animal lover, I understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers quiet companionship, I will respect their needs and provide care tailored to them. I can assist with feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, medication administration when needed, and plenty of affection on their terms. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable, stress-free, and cared for while you're away, while providing you with regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”
“I could tell how much Isabella loves animals and was completely confident that she would take the very best care of my baby girl. Willow was in good hands and I will definitely book Isabella again.”
“Joseph was wonderful and I highly recommend him! He took such great care of my cat and made sure that Kodak felt comfortable around him. He always included pictures with his check-ins which I really appreciated. I will definitely book him again if I get the chance!”
“Dina was incredibly thorough, professional, and helpful! She gave wonderfully detailed reports, sent us tons of pictures, and was clearly loved by our two cats! Cannot recommend her enough 🤍”
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. They take a special kind of person to understand them, and their love, once earned, is so sweet and rewarding. Whether your cat is anxious, outgoing, or requires daily medication or care, you can trust that I will get it done. I "fospiced" (foster-hospice) cats with both kidney disease and cancer, and have cared for dozens of cats with everything from thyroid disease to diabetes during my time in the vet clinic. I can administer any type of medication in the lowest stress way possible for both you and your beloved kitty.

I don’t offer boardings at the moment but I would love to housesit or do drop-in visits for you!
About: Growing up, we always had a couple of outdoor barn cats that loved to hang around. I wouldn’t say that I am specifically a cat person or a dog person, I’m a mixture of both. Since being on my own, I have adopted two lovely ladies being Bean and Peanut. Bean is a quarantine kitty and loves to cuddle, meanwhile Peanut is more standoffish and loves her personal space. Whatever personality your cat has I am prepared for both.
About: As a dedicated cat parent to 4 kitties (my oldest is 7!), I offer expert, loving care tailored to your cat's specific personality. I have years of experience managing feeding schedules, keeping litter boxes pristine, and providing the perfect balance of playtime and affection. Your cat will receive the exact same dedicated love and attention I give my own!
About: I am pretty flexible around my work schedule with caring for dogs, I can find a way to make sure your dogs are a top priority in my daily schedule. Since my work schedule does range, I will keep my availability updated. I have always taken care of my own dogs and other people’s almost my whole life since I was a preteen. I absolutely adore getting to know other dogs and giving/receiving love from them. I’ve been training with dogs since I was 11 years old in basic manners, tricks, and agility, so I am experienced in training puppies and younger dogs. I am always up for learning more about other dogs and their personalities as well. They are such intriguing and beautiful animals. I make sure to walk dogs before and after work. Dog park a few times a week. (If that’s in their routine) And lots of cuddle time! Brushing and brushing teeth are weekly tasks normally. I ask for the pets’ normal routine. This way, it is less stressful on them that their routine doesn’t change as much with their person/people gone.
“Kaylee was wonderful to work with! On time and quick to tell me if she wouldn’t be. Professional in her communication and took her time to get to know my dog. She walked my dog and then stayed with her the full 30 minutes. Your pet will love her!”
“Phillip was amazing with my kitty Scooter. He took care of her while I was away for a week and I was astonished at the magic that he worked on her. She is a sweet girl that can take some time to warm up to people, but he got her to play with him in no time. I will definitely be booking Phillip again the next time Scooter is in need of a sitter, and I highly recommend him for any other cat owners in the area.”

“Kayla has watched my senior dog several times now. My dog has massive separation anxiety, and Kayla is great with her. Harley seems relaxed when she gets home, which is usually a good indicator that she had a good day. Kayla is also an excellent communicator.”
“Ollie had a great time! Brent sent pics and was a great communicator! If we're back in Lexington, we will definitely have Ollie stay here again!”
“Casey was the best with our pup, we traveled from out of state and was in need of a sitter while we took care of business and attented a family graduation. Casey was so caring to our pup, gave me updates along with pics everyday. I highly recommend her for doggy day care.”
“Natasha was great! She was quick to communicate, open and easy to work with. She was very responsible and help put an anxious pet parent at ease!! We received updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
About: After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands. Available almost anytime in Lexington and surrounding areas contact in advance is recommended but we can take last-minute calls depending on the situation and what not. Also I work with you budget! I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!
“She did great with my pup. My pup took a surprise trip to her parents house and went on a walk with their pup! My pup was all worn out at the end of the day!”
“Emily was fantastic again taking care of my pup for daycare. She sent adorable pictures and videos throughout the day and did a report card. She is very reliable and communicative, and I know my pup is loved and safe with her. You can’t put a price on that!”
“Laura did a fantastic job watching my puppy Alma! She watched her for multiple days and each day Alma came home a happy pup. I got a detailed report on the day and felt very secure trusting Alma in her care.”

“Ashtin & Jenison have completely won me over as a helicopter parent. I truly feel like my dog is safe and cared for with them. They are very trustworthy and knowledgeable. I cannot recommend them highly enough!”
About: My family has had dogs since before I was born. We have had labs, mutts, pitbulls, and any other breed the humane society found for us. We are a family of foster fails, but have so much love for our furry found family. One of our pitbulls at home is a certified therapy dog thanks to countless hours my sister spent at trainings (and I happened to also attend because she needed a ride). I am also lucky enough to have a personal dog-trainer on call if needed, and I have had my fair share of experiences with giving dogs any medications they may need. I am excited to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you get the time off that you deserve. I have dog-sat for puppy and senior St. Bernard’s as well as sheep dogs, little dogs, and every dog in-between. I am unemployed, so I have plenty of hours in the day to care for your furry friend. I just graduated college with a bachelors in Biology, and am taking a gap year before starting up vet school. When I am not pet-sitting, I am volunteering at Lexington humane society. So my schedule is flexible and I am more than happy to work around what you and your pet need. I have a fenced back yard that I like to let the dogs play in. I’ll usually take the dogs on a walk in the morning and then the evening. In between, if the dog is up to it, we’ll spend some time outside maybe throwing a ball or favorite toy. I usually ask that the owner gets a list together for their dog’s daily schedule, so I can keep the dog’s life as normal and comfortable as possible. The list I ask for usually includes what time meals are, when the dogs go out, how often you want them exercising, what meds are needed, how long you’ll need me, etc. It all just depends on what you as the owner are looking for.
About: I have genuine love for animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve always loved being around them and caring for them with patience and attention. I have experience dog walking, feeding, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I do my best to keep things consistent so they feel relaxed and happy. Im going to be a senior this year at Lexington Christian Academy and have a part time job at the Ymca. Im available during the week 4-10pm. I have a big fenced in yard with a small dog and cat. They are both very friendly towards people and pets. always put pets’ safety and comfort first. I carefully follow pet parents’ instructions and stick to each pet’s routine. Whether in my home or a client’s, I keep the environment calm, clean, and secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. 🐾

“Gunnar had the best time with Sonya and of course her Doodles. If we ever return to visit- I would use her again! Thank you so much for keeping my mind at ease so we could enjoy the parks!”
“Andrew has been absolutely wonderful with my little Charlie . Andrew is great at keeping open communication with pictures and updates on how the Charlie's daycare is going ..10 out of 10 would recommend.”
About: Hey there! I am a pet/animal lover and enthusiast. I would have all the animals in the world if I could. I currently have 1 dog, Kash, and 1 cat, Darla Jean. Animals and caring for them are my life! Here’s my why: My grandmother lost her husband at a young age. She never dated again. She took in dogs and taking care of those dogs became her life purpose. Growing up, I would always want to visit my grandmother so that I could stay up all night with her and take care of the dogs. It became our thing. I feel that I am now living out my grandmother’s purpose by fulfilling my own purpose in giving unconditional love and care to any animal that crosses my path, just as she would have done. I love animals, and quite honestly, more than people, haha! I look forward to meeting, loving on, and caring for your fur baby as if they are my own. ❤️🐾 I am a special education teacher full time, but my toddler and myself love to show unconditional love to animals by taking care of them like they are our own. I get to do what I love as a part time “side hustle” plus also show my little boy of my own how to treat and care for animals plus teaching some responsibility! I’m available evenings, most weekends, and most holidays/ school breaks. It says on my profile “no children in the home,” but since I started Rover, I have had a baby and there is a 2 year old in the home. I tried to edit that info but literally cannot find it anywhere. Just wanted to make sure that was said though. Anyway, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own child. I like to meet with my clients face to face first so that I can get to know not only their fur baby, but their expectations in caring for their pet. I’m a great listener and follower of directions, so if you tell me exactly what you need, I will do my very best to make that happen.

Early mornings, lunch breaks, evenings, nighttime checks, and weekends are all available options. If taking your pet out of the house, I like to have a fit check of your leash/harness or collar setup first. If your pet is known to be a "houdini" who can escape their gear, I may recommend alternatives and can help you with fitting your pet appropriately and/or bring a second form of containment with me (such as a slip leash used at vet offices) to ensure your pet's safety.
About: Growing up, I took the most responsibility for caring for our family German Shepherd. Her name was Daisy and I was responsible for teaching her how to sit and stay, we went on daily walks when the weather was nice and even though she was considered a family pet she was mine. I do not have training skills past basic household tricks but I have plenty of love to give. I don’t have much of a set routine at work. I am technically full-time, but my schedule varies drastically from week to week. This is why I have my booking two weeks in advance so I can plan accordingly. Other than my job, I am a homebody. I do love being outside and going for walks/hikes when the weather is nicer. I’m very courteous and if you leave specific instructions for your home, I will follow them to a T. As for my own home, I have two cats that have free range over every room. I have no plants at all (let alone anything that would be dangerous for animals), a water fountain that’s plugged up for continuous running water, and three litter boxes throughout the home. I am more equipped for cats when it comes to toys, scratching post/cat trees and treats.
About: Ever since I was a baby I have had a dog in my household. As soon as I could get a dog of my own I got Bentley, my German Shepherd/Coon Hound mix. I adopted him at only 6 weeks old back in 2020. Growing up neighbors would ask me to cat sit when they were on vacation which included changing litter, feeding, and playing with the cat daily. Additionally, I have been asked to help walk dogs and to house sit in the past! I live in the Hamburg area and work full time at the University of Kentucky. My traditional work hours are 8am-5pm M-F with an hour lunch break. I would be willing to carve out time in my lunch to walk or care for pets. I do not work weekends, and have the most availability to care for pets during that time! I am extremely trustworthy and will abide by any rules you have for your fur baby. I am experienced with crating, and have no concerns with helping to put your animal back in a crate after caring for it. My fur baby, Bentley, is also extremely dog friendly so if your animal needs socialization with another, I could provide that! Unfortunately, due to the nature of my living environment I cannot board myself as I live in an apartment.
About: Families book with me for loving, family-style care, frequent photo updates (if desired), and the peace of mind that comes from working with a sitter trusted by repeat clients since 2021. 🐶 I simply love dogs. They are truly my passion. 🐾 Caring for them isn’t just something I do, it’s something that fills my heart. 💚 I have a special love and deep experience with breeds such as English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Lhasa Apsos, Shih Tzus, Shorkies, Greyhounds, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and Bernedoodles, but I genuinely enjoy caring for all breeds and personalities. Every pup deserves to feel safe, adored, and understood. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While I can’t be a full-time fur mama to them all, dog sitting allows me to pour love into as many pups as possible and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. It has been such a blessing to learn and care for new breeds through my bookings. Each dog I welcome into my home deepens my knowledge, strengthens my skills, and grows my love for dogs even more. What truly sets me apart is the family experience I provide. When your dog stays with me, they aren’t just “watched”—they become part of our home. While your family is away, your fur baby enjoys a warm, loving, family-style environment filled with cuddles, attention, and genuine connection. I happily send plenty of photo updates (if desired) so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well-loved. My family loves dogs too, and on occasion, trusted family members may stop by simply to meet my furry clients and share a few extra cuddles (not to assist with care), but purely because they enjoy loving on dogs. 🐶 Some of my favorite repeat clients even get to travel with me, including family visits and store outings (photos available!). Your dog gets real-life experiences, companionship, and enrichment—not just a place to stay. Over the years, I have lovingly been a full-time fur mom to up to three dogs at the same time, gaining daily, hands-on experience managing multiple dogs under one roof. Currently, my home includes Khaleesi, my sweet English Bulldog girl. I also carry deep love for my Lhasa Apso, who crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2023 🌈. My Shorkie was lovingly rehomed with an older family member to provide emotional support, and while she no longer lives in my home, she remains part of my extended family story. I’m also what I proudly call a “Mid-Woof” 🐶—I have independently and successfully delivered 4 litters of puppies in my home and have personally whelped, nursed, and raised two litters until 4–8 weeks of age before helping them find their forever homes. I understand canine behavior, comfort, and care on a deeper level than most. I will love on your fur baby as if they were my own. Bulldogs, in particular, require a special level of patience, knowledge, and care and if you’re a bulldog parent, I’m absolutely your girl. (Bulldog hugs are always welcome 😉) I’m proud to share that I have 10+ repeat clients, including several families who have trusted me with their fur babies consistently since 2021—relationships built on love, reliability, and peace of mind. I look forward to being your dog’s Bonus Mom while you’re away. Let’s get your pup booked, loved, and spoiled! 🐾💕 I work in an office Monday–Friday but return home on lunch breaks for potty breaks and check-ins. After working from home for seven years, I’ve adjusted my availability while remaining intentional and reliable. I’m a mom to young children under 10 who are gentle, respectful, and great with dogs 🥰. I’m available for daytime drop-in visits, and on weekends (when in town) I’m fully available for dog sitting in your home, my home, or for additional check-ins. I have plenty of grassy space where I live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I also have a fur baby to keep your dogs company if needed for service in my home. I have a dog area set up in my home. We also travel to dog parks when weather permits, if your dog needs activities, we will go on walks and even to our favorite dog park!

I have a fenced area at my apartment complex for dogs if needed. I have a variety of teats and toys for cats if needed.

“Brent took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation. He provided lots of photos, videos, and updates which were much appreciated. We would highly recommend him for boarding or any other offered services”
“Stella looks forward to her stays with Andrew's family and Cosmo. I appreciate their time taking care of Stella when we can't. Peace of mind, for sure. Communication and feedback has been great! We are looking forward to our next stay!”
“Erin and her husband were amazing!! They took excellent care of our dog, Nash, while we were traveling. He got numerous walks while staying with them and came home ready to nap (which is always nice when we are also coming back from traveling)! Would highly recommend and Nash absolutely cannot wait to stay with his new friends again!”
“Ann, was awesome. She was able to accommodate my last minute request. She also met me and picked up Charly. She sent some regular updates and even took some great pictures of Charly.”
“My dog thoroughly enjoyed her time with Kristin and her family. I told Kristin that I was nervous about leaving my dog, so they sent me messages and pictures of my pup enjoying her day. I knew my dog was safe, well-cared for, and having fun! We were quite pleased with the care Kristin gave our girl.”
“I can only really know how things went for my cat Teacup when she is boarded by how she behaves once she’s back home. After her 2 night stay with Natasha she seemed happy to be home, but otherwise very calm. Unlike other times when she meowed non-stop for 2 days as if she were trying to tell me all was not as it should have been. This time she hardly meowed at all. Natasha and her 2 daughters seem comfortable with both cats and dogs which of course reassures their guests that they are safe and loved. For Teacup that is everything. I think Teacup wouldn’t mind a return visit in the future. I can recommend Natasha for cat boarding.”
“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
“Gloria was amazing with my Riley! I contacted her super last minute due to an emergency and she was very willing to accommodate our needs- she even gave him a bath! I cannot recommend her enough. We’ll be booking again with Gloria!”
About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“Butterscotch had a great vacation at Cheyenne’s! It was clear from the photos that she was very well taken care of and loved on lots! I super appreciated Cheyenne’s clear communication style and flexibility around my schedule.”
“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
“Brian clearly treated our beagle very well! He gave her plenty of exercise (which she needs), and kept us appraised on how she was doing. A very good caregiver, all in all!”
“The pups seem to have had a great time getting spoiled! We got plenty of updates on how they were doing during the stay, which helped immensely! They commonly get upset/stressed with traditional boarding, so this was a great alternative. Would recommend!”
About: As a dog owner and foster, I have experience caring for senior dogs, nervous rescues, and multiple dogs at once. I prioritize individualized care, patience, and creating a stress-free environment. I work from home full-time, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship so pets feel safe and comfortable. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I follow their established routine for meals, walks, exercise, and rest. I provide attentive care, patience, and an stress-free environment while making sure owners stay updated. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and two senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my childhood I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, parrots and fish in all stages of life. I’ve learned to cater to every need because of this, as every pet needs something specific to their age, size and personality. I can handle pets of all sizes and energy levels, and will treat each just as I would one of my own. I’m a full-time college student home for Summer break, and I have a very open schedule that I would love to fill surrounded by fur babies. I’d like to make pet sitting my full-time job for the season, so I have lots of flexibility and availability. I have a large fully fenced in back yard and live in close proximity to a dog park. I currently have one of my own super friendly dogs at home, and I have plenty of space to welcome yours, and/or separate them comfortably if needed for whatever reason.
“Fantastic as always. Hardy comes home worn out every time lol and when I drop him off he doesn’t even tell me bye, just runs straight in to start playing. This is how I know he loves coming over :) Thanks for always taking such good care of my baby!”
