“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!”
“Amazing experience! I was very nervous about leaving him but Cheyenne, her family, and her dogs were amazing and Koda had so so much fun! We will definitely be sending him again!”
“Selena was absolutely wonderful! So many pictures and updates. We were so happy with all the continuous communication throughout our dogs stay with her. She is so nice and the dogs had plenty of outdoor time and play with her friendly dog! Would definitely recommend!”
“Kathryn went above and beyond when watching Monte! We have never boarded Monte with someone we didn't know so we were a bit worried. However, he warmed right up to Kathryn during the meet and greet. The communication was great and she sent us pictures throughout his stay. We had some flight changes that resulted in us having to board Monte an additional night. Kathryn was more than happy and willing to keep Monte the additional night, which eased our worries. When we need to board Monte again, she will be our first choice!”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“We could tell our pup was in good hands with Kelsey. She sent me detailed updates daily and pictures too. Our dog is not the best eater and she worked with her to be sure she ate. She also took our pup for walks and played with her. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our pup while we were away!”
“Andrew made our Bear feel welcome right away by playing with him and introducing him to his small dog, Lucky Bear. He had lots of room to play inside and was given regular walks. Andrew sent us pictures throughout Bear’s visit and our boy looked very happy. I appreciate Andrew’s quick and thoughtful responses to my text messages. We’d definitely use him again for watching Bear.”
“Haley was great with our little nervous rescue pup! She sent updates and reassured us that our dog was in good hands. We’ll definitely use Haley again.”
“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!”
“Guadalupe took great care of my dog while he stayed with her! She provided excellent communication before and during his stay with plenty of pictures and videos. I felt completely comfortable that he was in good hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Madison was amazing!!! Ranger is a very energetic pup and he had the best time with her and her dogs. She worked with all my requests and sent tons of pictures. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! I will definitely recommend her.”
“Elena was amazing with Ollie. Very responsive and sent plenty of updates. She had Ollie for 9 days while we went on a family vacation and she did very well with our older graint Dane! I would highly recommend! Thank you for taking such good care of our oldest!”
“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!”
“Jennifer is a true gem. Being new to the area, my dogs stay with her was the first with a new Rover and it couldn’t have gone better. Jennifer is kind, attentive and communicative. My pup had a great experience and we can’t wait to be return visitors. Two paws up and all of our thanks to Jennifer!”
“Sandra took such great care of my boy, Cash. He was treated like one of her own. I could tell how much she loved him and he loved her. I loved getting daily pictures of him and how happy he was. I highly recommend her and will be using her in future. ?”
“Laura took great care of my dog, Winston! She sent updates and photos throughout the stay, and was very easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend!”

“Mindy did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away! She followed all feeding instructions perfectly and administered medication without any issues. Our cat was happy and healthy and it was clear they received lots of attention and care. We highly recommend Mindy for anyone in need of a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Tiffany took such good care of my kitty! (Katie) She followed the schedule we set and kept me updated with pictures every day. She’s very conscientious and caring and I enjoyed my vacation so much more knowing Katie was in good hands. I came home to a clean house and a happy kitty! 😸 I will definitely ask Tiffany to stay with Katie next time I travel. Thanks, Tiffany, for bringing in those large boxes!! 😳”
“Alicia is dependable, professional and my cats’ best friend. She has made it possible for us to leave home and know that our cats are going to receive the same attention as we give. They literally greet her as if she has never left!”
“Cindy was reliable, responsive and took good care of our house full of cats while we were away. She sent pics and updates and even did a few dishes that were in the sink. We would have her sit again. Thanks Cindy!”
“I would highly recommend Tyler to take care of your pets. He not only fed my cats but also put food out for deer and birds (which i do) while i was away and gave me twice daily updates. I live in a remote area as well. Your pets are in safe and reliable hands with Tyler, i highly recommend him.”
“Madison was kind, respectful, knowledgeable and respectful of our family and our sanctuary. Thank You for the peace of mind knowing our Kitty was in good hands while we were away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life. It’s one of my greatest passions and most of my life I would dogsit for anyone who would let me growing up. I would love to make sure all of the animals are safe and well cared for while their owners are gone. I currently go to school and work part time, but there is most certainly time for me to fit in helping these families with their animals when they need it. I do live in an apartment complex but I have many years of experience with walking dogs of all kinds so I could walk it when needed. As for as toys, a crate or bedding at my apartment, I don’t have much of that, but could get some if needed.
“Heather has taken care of my babies multiple times now and I cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to know that she is taking care of them while I’m gone. I love all the details and photos in the updates from her. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure my pets were cared for.”
About: I’ve had the responsibility of taking care of over 20 pets of my own since I was young. I have a deep love for animals and understand that each dog has its own unique pet care needs. I have the most experience with small dogs as I have one of my own. I am not afraid to work with dogs who pull on leashes. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I’m a college student but my schedule is very open and flexible. I come home often between class and don’t typically go more than 2hrs away from home. If you have questions you can message me directly I am always open to figuring something out! If a dog is boarding in my house he/she will get lots of loving attention and frequent walks :) I would like to meet the client and pet together for the first time before a service is provided. This way I can ensure the safety and familiarity of both parties, as well as learn about any important information about the dog I may need to know so everyone feels comfortable :)
“Rachael was great! She accommodated us last minute. She was friendly, responded promptly, followed instructions, and sent photos and updates daily. She even checked our mail for us because I forgot to put it on hold. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born, I love playing, walking and just handing out with them! Also i know the hardships it takes. I am a very available person, I do have a part time job but other than that I’m very free. I usually work a few hours every other day. I love going on runs which I enjoy very much to take a dog on, this could be a short walk or a hike! I’m very active but always love bringing animals with me even if it’s just to get a pup cup or play at a park!!! I currently have 3 dogs, and I watch my sister dog on occasion. My house has a fenced yard of an acre letting the 3 of them run freely. I’m very much for making an outside environment for dogs. But also believe in rest time. I usually spend time watching tv with my dogs or just laying with them
“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!”
“Thank you to Emily for taking care of my sweet girl and administering her twice a day insulin shots. Emily was amazingly patient with Puddin until she became comfortable to allow her to provide the shots. I am very appreciative for her help while I was away and will be using Emily again for my trip next month! :)”
“Thank you Glenn for taking such good care of our cat, Sunny! It is obvious how much Glenn loves and cares for cats and all animals. Everything was done exactly as we asked. I highly recommend him as a petsitter!”
“Caroline was awesome! She was punctual and friendly. My outdoor kitty had an injured paw that was on the mend, she checked on it to be sure it was still healing. My indoor kitty who is skittish around new faces even came out for some pets the second day! Thank you Caroline for taking good care of my fur babies and putting my mind at ease while we were out of town!”

“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“Cheyenne took wonderful care of our Jax. He had a blast playing with her dogs and made a new friend, Romero. Her kids took to him right away. As labs do, he got muddy and she went over and above by bathing him. She sent frequent pics and videos of him playing. We will definitely use her again if we are in the area again.”
About: Spent whole life with dogs and cats. Am owner of service dog and work consistently with him daily; therefore, I can participate in any training your pet may be involved in. I am confident with all pets of all ages and happy to take care of your dogs and cats. I am certified cat and dog CPR/First Aid. I am EKU student on summer break so my current schedule is wide open. I plan to continue offering pet care services when school starts up again in the Fall. I have a large, well-fenced yard for your dog to play in, with a few nice shade trees as well. Love taking dogs for walks and our neighborhood is perfect for walking dogs. Dogs can also come inside to enjoy AC if it’s too hot outside. My dog + I are happy to come to your home also, to care for your pets.
“She is fantastic. Bandit has never been around dogs and he is a ball of energy, but Madison knew exactly what to do. She sent us amazing videos and pictures. Our boy was so happy there and is completely exhausted. She is most definitely our go to from now!”
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. For my personal comfort and safety, I currently book pet care with female clients only. Thank you for understanding! 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!
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. 🐾
“Selena was awesome with our puppy! She took great care of him, walked him a lot and he got to socialize with her dogs. He was also introduced to chickens and goats, every pups dream! She sent me a lot of pics throughout the day also. I'd highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of pets (as a job) since I was only 10 years old. I grew up wanting to be a vet (until I realized I'd have to put animals down) and decided to just take care of them myself in my own home! :) In college, I actually specialized in canine genetics if that tells you anything about my obsession. I have one Great Dane, for now, who I spoil rotten. I have also had experience training, walking, and grooming pets as well. I don't think I've ever said "no" to taking care of an animal, and that's saying a lot. I'm that person that always gets random emails, calls, and texts asking to watch their pets because of what they've heard. Dogs are my passion, truly, they are my life and get all my love! I'd love to help you out! I will care for your pets as if they were mine, always given top priority and unconditional love! I will only accept the booking if it aligns with what you need specifically :) My favorite feeling and compliment is your pets trust in me. Those words, “he/she must like you” or “they usually don’t warm up to people this quick” is what I live for! I LOVE animals and they know it, so no need to worry about if they’ll feel safe, as I’ll do everything in my power to have them enjoy every minute we spend together!
“John was excellent! I ended up reaching out to him last minute due to a schedule change, and he was very kind and accommodating. Throughout the day, John sent multiple pictures and updates, and he even spoiled him with some homemade food! Our a little guy had such a great time. Will definitely be bringing him back!”
About: I grew up on a farm in NC surrounded by animals, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I recently moved to Lexington with my husband, who is a veterinarian, which has given me an even greater appreciation for pet health and well-being. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or somewhere in between, I'll provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply providing companionship, I follow each owner's instructions closely and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a pet owner myself to an 11½-year-old Maltipoo, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member.
“Andrew and family were great with Stella! She and Cosmo played together so much they just chilled out the rest of the afternoon. We are looking forward to our next stay!”
About: We've owned and cared for dogs for over 35 years. Our first dogs were a Lab and a Golden Retriever then a Pug and a Puggle and now the parents of a Lab/Husky mix. We provide loving care with plenty of exercise in our non-smoking, fenced home. We live one block from Jacobson Park and its wonderful dog parks so rest assured your fur baby will receive plenty of attention, exercise, fun and love during its stay. I work from home and my spouse is a stay at home spouse, so we are available to provide constant care, exercise, play time and supervision for your fur baby. Whether is romping in the fenced yard or walks to the dog park, your furry friend will enjoy being part of the pack with our dog. Our fenced yard and quiet cul de sac on a golf course and located a block from 2 dog parks is a great place for your dog to stretch its legs and play to its heart's desire. During warmer times, we'll also spend a lot of time relaxing with your pet in our screened in deck in the back yard with access to our fenced in yard.
About: I absolutely love dogs! Since I can’t have one while in college, pet sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to spend time with them. I have experience caring for my family’s dogs and would love to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care! I am a student at UK so I try to fit it into my schedule when I can! I dog sit on the side because I love it! I am open to caring for the dog however the owner needs me to! I am willing to take them to a park, give meds, go on walks, etc.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.
“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.”
About: My name is Vivi (she/her)! I have been watching, sitting and walking dogs for over four years. I have a keen sense of animal personality and behaviour and have always enjoyed being around them. I've been known by many as *the* dog whisperer--you're in excellent hands here! I live with my friends downtown, but return to my parents house for dog care. Someone's always home for bookings. I work on my own projects between interacting with dogs, and I can take a break at any time. I have a karate class on Mondays and Thursdays, during which I hand off work to one of my parents for just a bit. Your pets are always in good hands here! I believe in being careful with pets and that they should be comfortable with their environment. The best interactions come from mutual trust between pet and caretaker.
About: I have experience with many different breeds and temperaments, ranging from puppies to senior dogs, friendly dogs and aggressive dogs. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I owned, cared for, and trained a German Shepherd. I currently own 2 Australian Shepherds, one whom I trained myself. I am very flexible this summer so I can take last minute bookings. I can do any time of day. My weekends are available also for walking, check-ins, or boarding! 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day. • 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. • My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles. I am able to take your dog on walks/runs or play with them inside the house. I can take them outside to the bathroom, feed them, whatever your dog needs!

“Thank you Tiffany! Not only did you accommodate our last minute request but you were so tolerant of our wary dog and all of his grumbles. I would 100% recommend Tiffany, she is extremely professional, responsive, and provided excellent care for and updates on our animals while we were gone.”
“Alicia is not just dog walker, she really put in the work to form a fast bond with my pup and is always looking for ways to make or keep her happy and feeling safe. I guarantee it's my pup's favorite time of day when Alicia stops by.”
“Mindy is a true blessing to our group of 3 pups. My rescue who is scared of everyone and everything looks for weds to her walks with Mindy. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I discovered pet sitting back in the early 90s (pre-internet); I ran across an ad in the newspaper for pet sitters needed for a great lady that had a Pet Nanny franchise. That was the most fun, and most rewarding job. The most amazing thing I did while in her employ was help a Basset Hound regain the use of his legs. One of my twice-weekly duties was to go over to "Kip's house," and perform physical therapy - which was simply moving all four legs in a prescribed way, for a prescribed period of time. I was so skeptical that it could work, but diligently performed the movements. I left for the birth of my oldest son before Kip's therapy concluded, but with all the people Kip's owner had hired to come in and do this consistently over several months, I was delighted to learn that he began walking again. I stopped pet sitting with the birth of my first son. Now that our sons are both grown and gone, and we work from home and my availability is flexible, it's time to jump back in! I grew up with cats, and Labs. And all the snakes, toads, and other things I could find outside. I also love and have owned (and miss) horses. I've also raised Leopard Geckos and had various other reptiles, and snakes. We currently have two dogs, two cats, and a crested gecko at home. I'm available for cat sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Not available for overnights/house sitting, as my babies (husband included) need me. Being a home and pet owner myself, security, attention, and comfort are a top priority. It's vital to me to care for others' pets (and homes) as I would my own. I'm older, and neurotic about proper care and attention. I would love to hear about your routines, so I can know what they expect, and try to replicate as best I can.
About: I’ve been an avid animal lover since I was a kid. I have worked with and been around a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, fish, ferrets and more. Not only do my own animals rely on me for quality care, I have had the pleasure of caring for other animals while friends and family are away. Currently I am the owner of 4 dogs, 26 chickens and 9 ducks. Every morning before work I make sure all of my animals have food and water, as well as making sure my dogs get all of their daily vitamins and dental sticks. Additionally my dogs get monthly flea/tick prevention and heart worm prevention. Right now this will just be a part time job but I am hoping to expand and make this my full time and only job. Currently I have open availability on weekends as well as morning and night availability throughout the week. Caring for pets is a big responsibility and I take pride in knowing animals will be safe with me. At the beginning of booking with me I would set up a meet and greet to make sure your pets are comfortable with me. After doing so, we would begin services. During services I will make sure to closely monitor your pets, keep them leashed while not in a fenced in area, keep away from road ways and other - potentially dangerous animals. I would also ensure timely medication, feeding, and watering schedules.
About: I have had animals since I was very young. We have had two dogs and many cats in that amount of time! I often watch animals for my friends or family when they are taking short trips or vacations. With over six years of experience in pet sitting and walking, I've cared for a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies to senior cats. My services ensure your furry friends receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you're away. Trustworthy and reliable, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing peace of mind and happy tails. 🐾❤️ I currently am a student with classes three days a week! I will use pet sitting and other services as a side hustle while I am in school. I can care for pets in either my home or yours, whichever you are most comfortable with! Cannot wait to hear from you guys soon!
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!
“Glenn did a great job taking care of our dog. He was prompt, respectful and able to accommodate us at the last minute. We highly recommend him for your dog walking needs”
About: I have been training dogs since I was 12 and sitting for 6 years now. I find the most joy in being with animals of all kinds. My experience doesn’t stop at dogs. I have cared for cats, horses, chickens, ducks, bunnies, fish, and so many more. I am currently waiting for my next training in May 2027. I am excited to fill my time this way in between home improvement projects. My home is not conducive to boarding other peoples animals but I will happily care for them in the comfort of their own home where they are comfortable and have everything they need, while I pour my time and energy into them!
About: I've taken care of/had the pleasure of sharing my time with the following: dogs, cats, farm animals (horses, cows, chickens, turkeys), snakes, tarantulas and turtles. I've also cared for ill pets/pets with very specific daily routines. My wife and I currently have two loving, energetic dogs (2, 7) and three clingy cats (11, 11, 10). I'm currently very flexible with scheduling as I mostly do contract and-or gig work online. I'm available every day of the week, and generally any time requested. I'll ask questions to determine the level/frequency/type of care your pet requires, and will ask that you're specific in your requests. A meet and greet will be required, barring emergency circumstances.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages. What sets me apart is that I provide a loving family environment where dogs are treated like members of the family. My home is full of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and we take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering most basic medications, caring for senior dogs, and helping reinforce routines and good behaviors. My two kids also love dogs and enjoy giving them extra attention and playtime, helping create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for every furry guest. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for in a safe, loving home where they will receive plenty of attention and affection. 🐾 I am currently in nursing school only 2 days a week and my husband works for a healthcare company from home so someone will always be there for your pup. I treat animals as if they are my own children. I will keep them safe and satisfied while you are away so you can have a peace of mind wherever you go.
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 taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I grew up with a Yorkie named Simon. Then I adopted my first dog, Sam. She gave me loads of experience in pet ownership and many life lessons. Sam had epilepsy, so I am very skilled in taking care of medically complicated pets. I currently have two dogs: Bella (6 year old hound mix) and Eloise (6 month old Golden Retriever). I am a teacher from August-May. I teach from 8am-3pm and I have no other obligations outside of that. I am of course willing to provide care before 8am and right when I leave school at 3pm. Both of my dogs are crate trained and friendly towards other dogs. For drop in care, I will follow all required and requested directions from the owner. This includes all feeding, potty, medication, grooming, and play needs!
About: I have always had dogs and cats in my life. I have cared for senior animals when it got more difficult and puppies that needed round-the-clock care. I’ve also been trusted by family, neighbors, and friends to care for their homes and pets while they were away. I’m a recent college grad and have not yet found employment, so my schedule is wide open! I will be available Monday through Sunday at all hours. I do not offer boarding in my home, however I can supervise multiple dogs at once, walk dogs, follow specific feeding instructions, and respect the boundaries of your cat. I can also work with security systems and keep your home safe and neat.
About: I have been caring of a variety fur babies since I was a kid. I have experience with working with both younger and older fur babies. I am currently working full time while coming my masters online in counseling so I do have flexibility with working overnights. If need more availability please contact me. 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.
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.

“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!”
“Amazing experience! I was very nervous about leaving him but Cheyenne, her family, and her dogs were amazing and Koda had so so much fun! We will definitely be sending him again!”

“Kathryn went above and beyond when watching Monte! We have never boarded Monte with someone we didn't know so we were a bit worried. However, he warmed right up to Kathryn during the meet and greet. The communication was great and she sent us pictures throughout his stay. We had some flight changes that resulted in us having to board Monte an additional night. Kathryn was more than happy and willing to keep Monte the additional night, which eased our worries. When we need to board Monte again, she will be our first choice!”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“We could tell our pup was in good hands with Kelsey. She sent me detailed updates daily and pictures too. Our dog is not the best eater and she worked with her to be sure she ate.
