“Ryan and his family were fantastic! Our four month old puppy, Murray, stayed with them for five nights and he had the time of his life! Ryan did a great job of keeping us updated and sent lots of pictures. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that Murray was in good, loving hands. I would definitely use Ryan again and recommend him highly!!”

“Katie and her family were amazing with Duke and truly came through for us at the last minute. We’re incredibly grateful for the care, attention, and love they showed him.”

About: Hi, I'm Madison! I offer a safe and loving home environment for pets through daycare and boarding, and I'm also excited to provide board-and-train services as I work toward my training certification. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I currently share my home with several of my own pets, have been dog sitting for many years, even as far back as elementary school! I also have experience training my own dogs, daycare dogs, as well as family and friends! I previously provided similar services in Wisconsin, and now that l've settled in Kentucky, I'm excited to be getting back into it here. After working at two dog daycares, l've seen firsthand that most dogs thrive so much better in a cozy home setting, and my goal is to create that comfortable space for them. Along with personalized care, I also provide enrichment activities, baths, and fun photo updates to keep you connected with your pet's stay. Since I'm getting back into offering these services locally, my pricing may be flexible-so feel free to reach out with questions. I'd love to meet your pup and welcome them into my home! I also accept other pets on a case-by-case bases! I have many pets of my own so care for them takes up most of the day & is something I am used to. I have physical health issues that makes it hard to work a full time job so spending time with your pup(s) is something I look forward to! :) -Will follow through with owners personal preferences and what is the safest/best for each dog . -Will give the pet the care they need, and send updates to the owner (if wanted)
“Shelby was an exceptional dog sitter! She is very loving to our pets and made me at ease right from the start. She was great at communicating with me and treated my fur babies just like they were her own. I know they had a great time. I will without hesitation use her again!”

“Abigail was an amazing sitter! She was so sweet to my very skittish pitty. It worked out perfectly because her amazing dogs helped mine come out of her shell. She is very professional and even went out of her way to drive to Evansville for a meet and greet. She sent updates along with pictures and videos the entire weekend which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old starting with caring for my grandmother's dog when she went out of town. I currently work full-time, but only work 3 shifts per week so I would be home to give your dog the best care and attention! I have a fenced in yard and room for your dog to run. I have an extra bedroom to crate your dog, if I have to leave for a short time.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and truly love pets of all kinds 🐾 Whether they’re big, small, fluffy, scaly, shy, or full of energy — I’m happy to care for them like they’re my own. I currently have two dogs and one cat, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your babies. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or not-so-furry!) family members 🤍 I have a very flexible schedule since I’m a full-time online college student. I’m available for drop-in visits mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m typically available 7 days a week and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Feel free to message me about specific times — I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Your pet’s happiness and safety will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and cuddles while you’re gone!
“Hannah and Brooke were much nicer than our cats, who thought getting their claws clipped was equal to having their toes ripped off. But H & B did their best and and clipped most of the claws before our baby cat turned into a tornado of fur and claws. One star for the cat - would not recommend - but five stars for Hannah and Brooke. :)”

About: Hi! My name is Taylor. I absolutely love dogs and I have been around dogs my entire life. I live in a 3 bedroom house with my husband and 3 children. We have a German Shepherd named Ace and a Great Dane named Samson; they are very friendly and would love to make new friends! I am a stay at home mom so I can stay at my home or travel to your home and take care of your dog. I am willing to walk your dog or do anything to make your dog's stay special! About this sitter: Hi! My name is Taylor. I am willing to travel to your home so you don't have to worry about your dog while you're away! I can walk your dog, bathe him/her, feed and water him/her, give him/her their medication, or anything else your dog needs! I absolutely love dogs and I have been around them all my life. I am available at all times and I have a very flexible schedule. I hope to have lots of fun with your dog! Why I love dog sitting I have been around dogs my entire life. I have had both large and small dogs. About my yard Our family owns 13 acres. We have a lake on our property. Our home is not close to the road and we live in the country so there’s not a lot of traffic on the road. Our yard is not fenced in but your dog will not be left alone if it is outside. I will keep your dog on a leash at all times if that is what you prefer. We just moved to this property and built our home a few months ago and putting up a fence is one of our plans in the future. My experience administering medication I, myself, have had to give medication to my dogs many times so I am very comfortable with administering medication.

About: I've been raised with cats and frequently cat sit for my best friend who has 3 cats of very different personalities and fur/size types. I've also fostered a number of cats but sadly my husband is allergic or I would have my own cat. Due to this I would love to spoil your fur baby!

About: I’ve taken care of two cats of my own for over seven years now. They run on a very tight schedule with eating wet food every morning at six A.M SHARP (they won’t let you miss it!) and we also keep a tight well-kept litter box around here so they are always taken care of! I’ve also pet sat for an officer who had six cats and I kept a well schedule, medications as needed, litter box was cleaned daily, and food & water twice a day.

“I really appreciate Savannah and have asked her to be my cat sitter in the future! Savannah is kind and considerate and did a great job watching my cats when I was away. She sent me pictures of my kitties, like I asked for, and she appraised me of their behavior when I was gone. I have confidence in her and I am happy that she is watching my babies when I am away. I have only positive things to say about her! ??⬛”

About: My Yorkie, Mocha, was my baby and love of my life for 16 years. He recently left this life leaving a hole in my heart. He was special needs and required medication and a lot of specialized care. I will treat yours just as I did Mocha. I have a big yard, plenty of good toys, and a nice neighborhood for walks. I can even make homemade meals if your fur babies would like! I have experience with puppies who need lots of attention on up to senior dogs who like a quiet, relaxing atmosphere, as well as special needs animals who need medicine or special care. I also have experience with cats and birds. I am an active bird foster but recently my last foster was adopted, so I don't have any birds in my care at the moment. I took a Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) master class which gave expert advice on handling aggressive or no so well behaved animals. I agree that most people need training, along with animals lol I am currently a stay at home mom. My 15 year old son is at school during the day. We also just had grandma move in with us so there is someone home at all times. So I am available 24/7. I have a unfenced yard but it is big and abilities to crate if necessary. Smoke free home and I don't drink. Other than that, I will give your fur baby free rein of the house. I'm not picky about sharing couches or cuddles! I understand pets are more comfortable at their own home, so I am open to coming to you.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since the age of 13. My aunt had 3 dogs so whenever I could I would watch them and stay there for a week at a time when she was out of town I fed them walked them even had to bathe them when they got into dirt. From then on my aunt gave other people my number and information and I started animal sitting all kinds of creatures ! It’s my favorite thing to do ! I’m currently working full time and I am having a Baby the end of November. I am extremely flexible and able to do any and all jobs ! So unfortunately have a German Shepard who isn’t around dogs all the time so I would have to work in my clients home. I am a very clean and neat person I never leave a mess. If I was to stay in your home I would clean all the dishes and wipe down counters and vacuum if you’d like all while talking care of your fur baby.
About: I have over three years of experience working in a veterinary clinic and dog shelter. I have three dogs of my own named Toast, CJ and Cooper. In addition to my boys I have one girl cat named Argent (Argie). I have had experience with medically complex dogs that have seizures, autoimmune disorders, complex eye issues and more. Owning exotic animals and horses has also been a passion of mine for over six years. If you can keep it as a pet, I have experience with it! I am available for select holidays, weekends, and overnight stays (subject to change). I have a part time job during the week which leaves my availability to only on weekends. Animals thrive on routine so I like to keep your pet(s) routine as close to normal as possible. I will send routine pictures and check ins while I am with your pet.

“Rhonda was excellent!! I was so nervous leaving my cats but I was able to relax knowing everything was taken care of. She did everything I asked her to do and even got my mail! She sent daily updates and pictures! I will definitely use her again!!!!”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring compassion, reliability, and deep understanding to every pet I care for. Previously, I've spent 6 years working with a Humane Society, gaining extensive experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. This role strengthened my skills in animal behavior, stress reduction, medication administration, special-needs care, and recognizing health concerns early. Through this work, I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets and animals recovering from illness or trauma. I’m especially comfortable with: Dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds, Shy, anxious or energetic pets. Senior pets and special-needs care Medication administration (oral & topical) Basic training reinforcement and enrichment. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment so pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on clear communication and dependable care. I'm a stay at home mom and I homeschool. I am flexible with my day to day life and ready to accommodate to the needs of your pet. I have 5 dogs, 2 cats, a parakeet and a small hobby of caring for 3 goats and 7 chickens daily. So animal care is not a issue with my household. I have a fenced in yard which we utilize everyday. I have 5 dogs with different needs. I have 2 senior chihuahuas and a toy poodle, they enjoy their time snuggled on the couch watching TV. Or playing with small toys around the house. I also have a German Shepherd and a Husky. Both are high energy dogs, so they love going for walks, having playtime in the yard or working their minds with different enrichment toys or basic training. They all love other dogs, and are accepting to sharing their home.
