“Want to thank Abbie for watching our 2 dogs Winston and Jet for 4 days while we went on a short vacation. She was easy to work with and provkded text updates and pics of our dogs playing and relaxing at her home. Would recommend. Thanks again Abbie!!”
“This was our dog's second stay with Deana and Gerald. They again took wonderful care of Savannah. They go out of their way to make sure she feels comfortable and are willing to deal with her little quirks. It is obvious that they love dogs! We are grateful to have found Deana and Gerald and highly recommend them!”
“Sabrennah was an excellent sitter for my two dogs, Annie and Duke. Both have special needs: Annie is 15, and slowing down; Duke was rescued from a hoarding situation and has never been apart from me since his adoption 1.5 years ago. He is anxious and fearful, and my plan had been for him to be boarded at the vet’s with sedation, but my vet closed their boarding facility. I introduced Duke to Sabrennah a couple hours at a time, and after his second visit, it was clear that he would be happy with her. Sabrennah is a warm and gentle soul who loves animals. She communicates throughout your pet’s stay. You can trust her with your cherished pets!”
“Patricia was on top of communication and took great care of our boy while we were gone! She sent updates frequently and made us feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend her! Thank you so so much Patricia!”
“Leeann has cared for our girl, Cami, on two occasions, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She provides excellent care, keeping us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Her communication is outstanding—always clear, timely, and professional. What truly sets Leeann apart is her dedication. When a snowstorm disrupted our travel plans, she didn’t hesitate to extend Cami’s stay for two extra days, ensuring she was safe and well cared for. That level of flexibility and kindness means the world to us. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does, we wholeheartedly recommend Leeann. Your fur baby will be in the best hands!”
“We were really happy with the care Kodiak received during her stay. We loved the picture updates and hearing what she was up to while we were gone. Kodi came home much more relaxed than she ever has after staying at the kennel. Thanks for taking care of our girl! We will definitely look to book again for future care.”
“Tammi always does an excellent job with my dogs. My older dog takes a lot of medication and I never worry, bc she takes such great care of him. She sends updates and pics, which I love. Her home is clean and neat and the backyard is a dog oasis. Tammi is fabulous!”
“Jane is amazing! I'm so happy I found her to dog sit while me and my family were on vacation. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing every day. Couldn't be happier!”

“We really loved Mike and Amanda, they treated Rocky and Bella like they were their own and we loved the daily pictures.we will certainly use them again in the future!”
“Jane was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience!

She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day!

“Blake did a great job checking on our cats while we were away! He was even able to help with the inhaler for our cat with asthma and feed our bearded dragon. Would definitely recommend Blake!”
“I was in town for a funeral and needed a place to board my cat. Payton was available and was able to watch him for about 8 hours. She kept him in a comfortable space away from her pets and even sent me a photo to assure me that he was adjusting to the surroundings. I would highly recommend Payton to anyone wishing to board their pet in the Northern Kentucky area.”

We would definitely use Angel again if needed.”
About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding business in NKY, I’ve learned a lot from working there. My love for dogs has grown more than I could imagine. I’ve had many pets growing up and I now have two of my own. I have two dachshunds named Harmony and Hazel. My favorite pet I’ve ever owned was my chinchilla! Her name was Bella. A home is not the same without a pet. I currently work a part time job and know my schedule two weeks at a time. I also have a business and work from home for that. I know my schedule usually months ahead of time. With that being said, my schedule is flexible! I can work mornings, mid day and evenings. I have a large back yard and a cute neighborhood that I walk my two dogs around. I live close to a few parks. I also have a full finished basement so if you need your pet to be crated or would like for them have a large space to themselves I have plenty of room.
About: I am a very experienced pet owner and caretaker, I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cats. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to work with and give some love to each and every pet I meet. I hope to provide as much assistance to every animal lover who needs a little extra help. If you ever have any questions about myself, my pets or any other concerns you may have, don’t be shy to ask, I’m happy to answer all of your questions! It’s important to me that every pet is taken good care of and given every drop of attention I have to give, as well as their parents. I currently work from home, on my own time. which makes it incredibly easy for me to plan and schedule requests, just message me and lets talk dates and times! I have a fenced in yard for playtimes, as well as an isolated dog bedroom for crates, beds, toys, separated feedings, and any other needs your dog may have. I can always keep your pet separate from mine if you’d like. My home is set up to be accommodating for pets, we have 2 living rooms and a dog designated bedroom. The downstairs living room has a door for anyone who may need some time alone, and the dogs bedroom has my crates and extras for feeding times, sleeping, and for when we leave them alone. I like to keep things safe and not open the door for opportunities to flourish, that’s why all feedings are kept separate and done in their crates, and play times are closely monitored with full supervision.
About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.

About: I have years of pet care experience. I’m great at walking dogs, playing with them, and giving them all the attention they need. I’m different from other sitters and walkers mainly because I have been around pets my whole life. I’ve even done volunteer work with both dogs and cats. I love going to the dog park when the weather is nice plus taking trips to petsmart and Petco to let my dog interact with new animals and people is fun for me. Seeing an animal grow by learning something new or just become more loving is a goal I present myself with every time I care for a dog. I’ve cared for animals so much that I even wanted to become a vet one day.

“Kerri was wonderful, I would definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your fur baby. Very patient, attentive, and all around genuine person. Got us out of a bind this holiday weekend with my Mikko. I can’t thank her enough.”
About: I’ve spent the past few years caring for dogs and cats, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic grooming. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in being reliable and kind with every animal I look after. Working from home with a 23-month-old means I already have a rhythm centered on care, attention, and being present. Pet care fits smoothly into this lifestyle — from morning walks (a great start to the day for both pets and toddlers!) to scheduled feeding times and regular play breaks. My flexible schedule lets me respond to pets' needs throughout the day, whether it's a cuddle, a potty break, or a bit of extra attention. With my child learning to be gentle and kind around animals, it's a home environment that’s calm, loving, and perfect for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a fenced balcony where your pet can safely relax and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Our complex also features a secure, fenced-in pet park that’s perfect for playtime and running off energy, plus plenty of open space for regular walks and exploring.

About: I'm getting back into pet sitting after taking a break for a few years - please forgive the lack of activity recently. I've been working as a Veterinary Assistant for the past 5+ years at a local vet clinic and I'm studying to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician at University of Cincinnati (Bearcats 2028, baby!)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, I’ve always had dogs growing up. Pets are my entire world, there’s nothing better than having a fur baby as family. I have a rescue dog myself. When I first saved her she had really bad seizures but I took care of her. I helped her, and gave her all the love and care she needed. There was a point in time the vet didn’t think she would make it. But she is now 12. She moved from Mississippi to Kentucky with me and living her best life in KY. I also have a Golden Doodle who I trained, I was able to teach him basic skills but also to be a calm dog overall. He doesn’t bite, hardly barks. He turned out to be such a good boy! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Kentucky! I am home for the summer so I have plenty of time to play with dogs anytime of the day! Caring for pets at the client’s home involves closely following their routine. This includes feeding them on time, providing fresh water, showering them with love and attention, playing with them, taking them for walks if necessary, and keeping their living space clean and safe. Additionally, I always monitor for any signs of discomfort or illness and maintain regular communication with the owner to keep them informed! By creating a calm and loving environment, I ensure that the pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away!
About: Hi, I’m a dedicated pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a full house—two dogs, five indoor cats, 18 outdoor cats, and two guinea pigs! I truly understand the love, patience, and attention pets need, because I live it every day. Whether you’ve got a playful pup, a picky kitty, or a small critter needing gentle care, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own—with reliability, kindness, and plenty of cuddles! As a part time employee, it allows plenty of time to care for your pets needs and wants. I only work about 5 hour shifts so I have plenty of time around that to be available. I am a happy and energized person and I can get along with all types of animals, young or old, calm or hyper. And I am a very patient person, acquiring that skill as I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and a whole barnyard of animals my whole life.
About: I love animals, and have always owned pets my whole life. I have a 5 year old Black Labrador Retriever who is very rambunctious and is addicted to catch so I have plenty of experience with hyper dogs! My dog is loving of all dogs & cats. Small and giant breeds welcome! I can’t wait to meet all of the cute & lovable pets out there! 🐾 I am home all week except for afternoons on Tuesday & Thursday, but I have help from my fiancé who is WFH, so the pups are never left unattended! I have a fenced yard with enough room for a nice game of catch, and live within 10 minutes of a dog park (barker ranch), if needed! I have dog-friendly cat, and a super friendly lab who is ready to play and of course a welcoming animal loving home!
About: After a break from pet sitting, I have decided to start taking bookings again for walking/drop-in visits. I am also open to overnight stays at your home depending on circumstances. I have always had a soft spot for animals. They bring me such happiness and I honestly feel like we are not deserving of the love that they give! I have great anxiety when I have to Board or find care for my own pets, and I strive to bring comfort and compassionate care to others who may feel the same way! I work from home which allows me to constantly be present for the needs of my own animals and the needs of pups that are visiting my home. I have a large fenced in yard in a safe community. Visiting pups will be treated like family and will be loved on and treated like one of our own.
“Tiffany is AMAZING!!!!!!!! My dog is very anxious so naturally I was very worried about leaving her. From the first time Tiffany came over to walk Brooklyn she was so sweet & caring for her & it really put my mind at ease. She took her time with Brooklyn & made her feel comfortable with her. When we had to adjust our plans, it was very easy to do & she was extremely accommodating. I will definitely be rebooking in the future when I need to go away without my pup.”

“Want to thank Abbie for watching our 2 dogs Winston and Jet for 4 days while we went on a short vacation. She was easy to work with and provkded text updates and pics of our dogs playing and relaxing at her home. Would recommend. Thanks again Abbie!!”
“Sabrennah was an excellent sitter for my two dogs, Annie and Duke. Both have special needs: Annie is 15, and slowing down; Duke was rescued from a hoarding situation and has never been apart from me since his adoption 1.5 years ago. He is anxious and fearful, and my plan had been for him to be boarded at the vet’s with sedation, but my vet closed their boarding facility. I introduced Duke to Sabrennah a couple hours at a time, and after his second visit, it was clear that he would be happy with her. Sabrennah is a warm and gentle soul who loves animals. She communicates throughout your pet’s stay. You can trust her with your cherished pets!”
“Patricia was on top of communication and took great care of our boy while we were gone! She sent updates frequently and made us feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend her! Thank you so so much Patricia!”
“Tammi always does an excellent job with my dogs. My older dog takes a lot of medication and I never worry, bc she takes such great care of him. She sends updates and pics, which I love. Her home is clean and neat and the backyard is a dog oasis. Tammi is fabulous!”
About: Warning ⚠️! Your furry companion will be worn out with fun activities in my large fenced in backyard, with additional happy walks and hikes. When it's time to rest, they will enjoy relaxing in my spacious clean home with plenty of love and care. I am a stay-at-home mom with children who attend summer camps. Drop off can be as early as 7:00 a.m. and for overnight stays 6:00 p.m. Pick up times can be negotiated. Large safe neighborhood, in the heart of Independence. You can trust that I will be with your pet for most of the day and I always let the owners know if I have errands to run or appointments to attend. My children are 7 and 10 years old, they absolutely love animals. They have been educated on the proper way to approach and play with dogs and cats. At no time will the children be left with your pet alone. When my husband is in town, he arrives home around 5:45 every evening and is a big dog lover. He misses having a dog but travels too much for the military.
“We really loved Mike and Amanda, they treated Rocky and Bella like they were their own and we loved the daily pictures.we will certainly use them again in the future!”
“Kelti was awesome with my pup. I could tell she had a great time with their dogs and they even took her with them to a dog friendly brewery! The photo updates were perfect!”
About: I’ve had pets almost all of my life and dogs consistently for past 25 years. I have experience with senior care especially. We recently said goodbye to our loved one and our home is empty and needs some occasional love. I work from home full time Monday thru Friday. I can take breaks from work when necessary to provide any required support, such as play, potty and feedings. We have a fenced in yard. We have several dog beds, a raised feeding trough and a crate if necessary. While we don’t have any pets, neighbors on both sides have dogs.
About: Growing up, I was always the go-to dog sitter for family and friends. From playful puppies to senior pups, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities in my home and theirs. I learned early on how to give each dog the individual attention they need—whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, feeding schedules, or just cozy couch cuddles. Those experiences taught me how important it is to create a safe, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy while their families are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and would be thrilled to bring that same care and reliability to your furry family members. I have taken care of dogs with medical needs(diabetes) and other condition and know hiw to care for them. I work from home Monday- Friday so I have plenty of time to let them out and take care of them. I don’t go out too much on the weekends and if I do I’m usually at the golf course and then back home. My house is very pet friendly. My yard is completely fenced in. I do not mind that they go on the couch. I will love your pets as you love them.
“Such an amazing experience! Our dogs loved being there they got a spa day! And a nice hike in they were definitely worn out when they got home which I loved coming back from a trip! Drop off and pick up was very easy. We absolutely will book them again.”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets around, specifically dogs. Through my lifetime I’ve taken care of dogs with separation anxiety, older dogs, and very active dogs too. I believe that every dog has a special personality and they all deserve personalized care. So I will take in special care request that you know of, and also observe the dog so I care and play with it in the best way! I’m excited to work with you and your furry friends :) I have a pretty open schedule and availability! I can board on a Saturday night to Sunday morning, but I’m not available Sunday nights to Monday morning! I have a dog park in my apartment and share a dog with my sister so your furry friend will have some company. I also have some complement toys, treats, and a spare cage if needed!
“I am very fortunate to have found Laura! Based on her "About" info and all the great reviews, I felt my dog would be well cared for. We had a great first meeting with Laura which solidified my decision to hire her. Drop off was easy because of our first meeting. She had excellent communication! She sent pictures, messages and responded promptly to any messages I initiated. When I picked up my dog, she(my dog)was happy to see me and my husband but not eager to leave. That’s a good sign to me that she felt safe and was happy there! I 100% recommend Laura and hope she's available next time I need her.”
“Metricia & her family for a joy to work with! Minnie loved her time & got plenty of walks, cuddles & treats! Metricia was very flexible when I had to drop her off one hour later and pick her up one hour later! I would totally book her again!”
