Personalized care for your dog or cat - Judy
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Judy
“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.”
“My favorite sitter in Lexington! Couldn’t recommend her enough. She sent me videos and photos everyday, and my dog looked so happy! He got to play with other dogs, and in their fenced in yard. So so communicative and helpful. I will be using her every chance I get.”
“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.”
“Reached out to Lelainy on short notice to watch our buddy Boone for fall break. She was very responsive the entire stay and provided updates/pictures frequently. Her dogs and Boone got along great and I think he really enjoyed his stay. Would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog without hesitation.”
About: Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom of four and a proud dog mom to three wonderful pups. Our home is always full of love, play, and plenty of tail wags!

“Laura was so great. She took great care of my dog. She took her on walks, gave me updates on how she was doing, and even took her to get an ice cream cone. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Laura and will forsure use her again soon!”
“Amazing experience. Our dog had the best time. Julie is a true pro, making sure that all dogs boarded are pre-screened and likely to get along. It works! Our pup played all weekend long in the high backyard. Julie provided us with tons of pics, probably some of the best we have. Would highly, highly recommend.”
“It’s obvious that Kristin loves her 3 dogs, she took care of mine like it was one of her own. My dog has anxiety, Kristin sent me lots of updates and photos during the 2 day stay, and she takes wonderful pics! I wouldn’t hesitate to take my dog back to Kristin for a short visit or a longer stay.”
“Our pup appeared to be very content under Kirsten’s care where she had a 24 hour stay. Kirsten was a great communicator and provided pictures and texts that aided in easing the worry of leaving our sweet girl with a total stranger! Thanks for everything.”
“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.”

About: I’m an experienced pet and dog lover who has been actively involved in animal rescue for 25 years. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of every type and temperament—from high-energy pups and shy rescues to senior pets and those with special needs. I currently share my home with two dogs of my own and remain very active with local animal rescue efforts. I work from home, so I’m available for boarding, daytime care, last-minute requests, and nearby potty-break drop-ins in the community. Your pets will receive plenty of enrichment throughout the day, lots of outdoor time, and a calm, consistent routine. They’ll have access to comfortable furniture, socialization opportunities (when appropriate), and engaging activities so they feel secure and stimulated while in my care. I typically accept dogs up to 40 lbs and can make exceptions for larger, well-trained dogs. I’m happy to care for multiple dogs at once when schedules and temperaments allow. As a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely enjoy the time I spend with pets and am committed to giving them the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and providing a safe, enriching experience they (and you) can trust. I work from home, so I’m available for boarding, daytime care, last-minute requests, and nearby potty-break drop-ins in the community any day of the week. As a work-from-home pet sitter, I offer flexible availability for overnight boarding, daytime care, last-minute bookings, and local potty-break drop-ins. Your pet will enjoy a calm, consistent routine filled with plenty of outdoor time and daily enrichment. I provide a secure and stimulating environment complete with cozy furniture, interactive activities, and opportunities for safe socialization when appropriate.
About: About Me Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I do professionally. I own a pet-sitting business serving Central Kentucky. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable with multi-pet households, senior pets, animals with special routines, and pets who need a little extra patience to become comfortable with someone new. I’m also a lifelong animal owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pets. I pay attention to the little things—changes in appetite, behavior, bathroom habits, mobility, or anything else that seems unusual—and I believe in keeping owners updated so they can relax while they’re away. What You Can Expect I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care instructions, maintaining your pet’s normal routine, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially enjoy working with animals who may be shy, particular, anxious, or simply need time to decide that a new person is trustworthy. I don’t expect every pet to immediately love me—I’m happy to earn their trust at their pace. Safety & Communication Your pet’s safety comes first. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep a close eye on the animals in my care, and communicate promptly if I notice anything concerning. You’ll also receive updates so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s hands. My goal is for you to come home to happy animals who have been well cared for and whose normal routine has been disrupted as little as possible. Whether you have one spoiled house cat, an energetic dog, a senior who likes to take things slowly, or a whole household of four-legged family members, I’d be happy to care for them. Although I work as a substitute teacher, there are many days I am home part or all of the day. While I have a generic routine, I like to know the pets usual routine so I can cater to that as much as is possible. I have a small fenced yard, but most importantly, my apartment is set up with pet safety in mind. I have gates and latches to prevent accidental runners, my cat has her own space to keep away from other animals, I have the space and ability to separate dogs if needed. Ultimately I treat them like my own. They are welcome in my bed, have free run of the common areas, have lots of toys... I am always up for snuggles and fun!
“Communication and understanding and ability to accommodate on the fly was outstanding. Nova came back to me happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone and will definitely rebook.”
“Olivia went way beyond expectation! She took excellent care of our 70+ lb. golden doodle who needs lots of love and attention while we were out of town. This was the absolute best dog sitter experience we have had and we will definitely be using her again!!”
“Victoria did a fantastic job with my dog! She lives on a beautiful piece of land with hobby barn animals as well as cats and dogs. As a trainer she knew the best way to introduce my dog to them. She was extremely responsive to messages as well!”
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. Fast fwd 5 years, and WOW, still can’t believe the journey that was created for us. Dog breeding, training, boarding and grooming just the way I would want my pups taken care of…in a home. Our setup is ready for all stages of dogs and of course, personalities. This is a small family business and we make pet care fit seamlessly into our lives. We’re a party of 4 and all hands are always on deck. 4:00 am wake up call during the week and 6:00 am on weekends. Caring for pets in our home can consist of taking your pets normal routine that’s already established and following it. Help keep your animal on a schedule of food timing to crate or bedroom boarding. We live in a neighborhood with a 6 foot privacy fenced in back yard. A 3,000 gallon Koi pond surrounded by 800 square feet of deck. Nice plush outdoor furniture for the dogs to lounge next to the pond after a drink. 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.

About: I’ve had my own fur baby (profile picture) since I was 6 and have been the main one looking after her all these years. I love any kind of cats and even spent my 20th birthday at Pounce Cafe surrounded by all the adorable cats for adoption.
About: I have always loved animals, which was apparent pretty early on in my childhood. I was interested in learning everything I could about all different types of animals, and how to care for them. That passion has only grown over the years! I started as a volunteer at the local animal shelter when I was young, then in college I raised my own fur baby Mia. I took her to puppy obedience classes where they taught us how to train our own dogs. After she was grown, I started volunteering again at Gateway Area Humane Society. There, I was involved with daily animal care, spay & neuter clinics, news interviews, and social events! Once I stopped volunteering, I started Kal’s Critter Care- my pet sitting business. I have done this for two years now, and have worked with multiple different types of animals! I’m currently doing my pet-sitting business full time! I have plenty of availability for daily walks and check ins for multiple different types of animals. I am mobile and pet sit where the critters are most comfortable, in their home! I offer overnight sitting, as well as daily check ins.
About: I’ve been a cat lover my whole life—growing up with cats taught me early on how special (and particular!) our feline friends can be. From playful kittens to older, more independent cats, I understand their unique personalities and the gentle, attentive care they need. Whether it’s providing a calm, quiet space, keeping litter boxes fresh, sticking to feeding routines, or giving them the affection they want on their terms, I treat every cat with patience, love, and respect. I know how to read their signals and make them feel safe and at ease, whether they’re shy or social butterflies. If you're looking for someone who truly “gets” cats and will care for them like family, I’d be honored to be your go-to sitter!
“Casey was great watching my two cats while I was gone for over a week! Very easy communication and she sent me so many photos which was great for my peace of mind. My cats warmed up to her so quickly and the photos she was sending me cuddling with the boys made me know my cats were well taken care of while I was away. I’d recommend Casey to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet while they are away, thanks Casey!”
About: My names Jessica Knight. I’m 34. I have two daughters and a fur baby named Bentley I enjoy the outdoors and spending time with my family. My dog is friendly and loves making new friends. I am a stay at home mom so have plenty of time. I have plenty experience with pets and being a mom and pet owner myself I am reliable and someone who can be trusted with your pets. I will love them as my own and more than likely spoil them like I do my sweet Bentley.. I’m easy going and a family person all around. I enjoy hiking and the lake as well. Thank you, For considering me to take car and live on your fur babies. Have a great day. I am a stay at home mom. The routine with Bentley is feeding morning and night and of course treats in between. We go on a daily walk and potty breaks every 2 hours I have a fenced in yard. Will follow feeding and potty schedule. I keep an eye on all animals and play with them while they are in my care
“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!”
About: I've had at least four dogs as long as I can remember. As a child, they were my first companions and my second caretakers. Even as I grew into an adult, they were always there to comfort me and to brighten the darkest of days. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I am eager to give back what they so willingly give; love, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and joy. In the last two years, I have gone from four dogs to one, due to Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure, and I must admit that their absence has affected me deeply. I miss them so so so much!! I'm one of those people that celebrated their dog's birthdays and bought them copious presents for Christmas. While my friends were pulling out their family pics, I was always pulling out my dog pics. I share this same sentiment towards birds, rabbits, and cats; all of which I had growing up. Being surrounded by animals as a child was a great experience. It even prompted me to volunteer at the ASPCA for almost a year. As I hope you can tell, I will not only provide what your pet needs to survive, but I will also provide him/her with special attention and love. I look forward to meeting with both you and your pet! Until then, take care! I will be able to fulfill any house/pet sitting duties without any issues, as I am able to balance my obligations responsibly and with respect to myself and those that hire me. While pet/house sitting, I will abide the rules given to me. This could include when they play, where they sleep, any medications needed, when to eat, etc.
“Allysha gave detailed updates and sent adorable photos of our cat Harley while we were out of town. She was also super helpful in watering our plants and helping bring packages inside. She was also responsive to questions and follow ups.”
About: Something that sets me apart from other sitters is my experience in caring for cats and kittens. 10+ years ago, our dad found a litter of kittens in his boat, and since then, I’ve grown fond to nurturing kittens and all cats! We nursed them by hand and helped them grow into healthy kittens, before giving them to good homes, but we ended up keeping two. Through growing up along side time, I’ve learned everything that is involved in proving the best care to your cat!
About: I grew up on a farm around many different animals large and small so I know how to care for many different types! My very first job was working on a golden doodle breeding farm. My schedule is 8-4 in Lexington, Ky. I commute from Northern Ky so I am able to sit in both locations if needed. If your pet needs extra care I will be available 24 hours a day on the weekends. I care for my pets by giving them lots of love and attention. I am able to be flexible and pay attention to house rules. I really enjoy animals so pet sitting doesn’t feel like work!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Judy
“Jasper had a great time with Madison and her dogs. She texted me a picture of Jasper while she was watching him and let me know how he was doing. It was easy to communicate with her. I would leave Jasper in her care again.”
“Thank you very much Shawna for taking such great care of our girls . We had peace of mind that they were in experienced, trustworthy, caring and attentive care . We will def use again when we come back to Kentucky to visit family . We loved our videos and pictures of how their day was going .”

“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.”

“While visiting town for a couple weeks for work, Lupe provided such excellent care and love for my pup Barley while I was at work. She gave great updates during the day and I felt super comfortable picking him up every day, because he was always super happy and clearly well cared for! Thank you, Lupe!”
“We've brought our pup to Laura multiple times and it's always been a stress-free experience. Laura is a great communicator and caregiver, and we love working with her!”
About: When I was around four, I started to go across the street and cat-sit for this empty-nest couple. They were older, and so they wanted to travel more. The lady owned two cats, a Birman and an Oriental Shorthair. The lady used to take them to cat shows, and they were her most prized possession. They had grandkids to see and wanted to explore as many different countries as they could. They used to say, "Maggie, you are so convenient, and I am glad that you are here so we can leave and do things that we love more often." My mom never once told me to go and do my job. I woke up and was ready to go see Bootsy and Bella. They moved when I was 16, and I was their sitter until the day they left. I realized that for people to do the things they loved, they needed an easy, stress-free, and affordable sitter for their animals. Anyway, I started a show kennel for my Italian Greyhounds because of her, and now this is my full-time gig. I run a full-time boarding and daycare facility at my house. I am open for boarding and daycare 7 days a week. I own show dogs, and so I am home training and working on my websites while the dogs have multiple areas and an outdoor fenced area to play. I work on my computer for 3-5 hours a day and play with and walk the dogs while I rotate in between that. I take lots of pictures during the day and have an instagram that I post them on. The dogs rotate among the kitchen, the basement, and the outdoor enclosure. All dogs have access to water 24/7. The outdoor enclosure has a roof, and I run a fan when it is hot, in accordance with USDA guidelines. If the weather is bad, I walk the dogs or just let them play together in the basement or kitchen.
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!
“They were wonderful! They took such good care of Maddie and welcomed her like one of their own. Loved getting the pictures and videos throughout the day. Will definitely ask them to spoil her again!”
“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: 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 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.

About: I’ve had at least 1 dog living with me and my family since I was born, so I grew up helping take care of all our dogs throughout the years. Our current dog is a Pomeranian that acts more human than dog sometimes. I’m a current student at SCAD so classes take up most of my time, but on weekends and nights I am way more available to help out. I love animals so much, whether they be small fluffy little puppies, old yet dignified cats, or even reptilians just vibing in their own little spaces, I never want any animals to be upset or get hurt, so I’ll do whatever I can to make sure your pet receives the best care I can offer.

I took her to puppy obedience classes where they taught us how to train our own dogs. After she was grown, I started volunteering again at Gateway Area Humane Society. There, I was involved with daily animal care, spay & neuter clinics, news interviews, and social events! Once I stopped volunteering, I started Kal’s Critter Care- my pet sitting business. I have done this for two years now, and have worked with multiple different types of animals! I’m currently doing my pet-sitting business full time! I have plenty of availability for daily walks and check ins for multiple different types of animals. I am mobile and pet sit where the critters are most comfortable, in their home! I offer overnight sitting, as well as daily check ins.
“Shawna was amazing with communication and Honey absolutely loved her! She took into consideration the heat and what would be safer for Honey’s paws and left me know how the walks were everyday and made me feel really at ease knowing Honey was safe while I was at work. Would definitely book with her again”

In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and fresh water. I also like to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Greetings, valued customers, my name is Jordan. I appreciate you viewing my profile to get to know me a little better. I kindly ask that you read my profile in ENTIRETY so you have a better understanding to determine if we are a great fit and for detailed scheduling information down below. I look forward to hearing from you and I'm delighted to be here for all your animal care needs. I have cared for fish, dogs, cats, parrots and other birds, bearded dragons, snakes, chickens, goats, bunnies, doves, mini horses, pigs, other farm animals, and other reptiles, amphibians and exotic animals. I have been offering animal care services for eight years, and I completely love and enjoy doing it. The love that animals have for humans is an incredible thing to experience. Caring for animals makes my life so much more meaningful, and I love doing it for people who need my services. Also, knowing that people need my animal care services, fulfills my passion for helping others in life. I love and enjoy being of service to others, and it makes me so happy to be able to do so. I'm currently working as an RBT (Registered Behavioral Technician) (I work with people with autism and help them better adapt to everyday life), and I work with Rover as a petsitter as well. If you contact me for a lenghty petsit, I am able to ask off work with no complications (with more than a 2 week notice), however if you are in need of a speedy petsit, I can work with your schedule (but I may have to work a few hours during the day on week days, with no complications). My Rover calender will reflect my availability will continually be updated. Please check the calender before reaching out. Thank you for your understanding. I prefer going to a client's house to take care of their animals in a familiar environment, along with a detailed list of instructions of do's and dont's for their pet. Instructions on animal care are to ensure the animal's safety when they are with me, without me needing to unnecessarily contact and bother the owner while they are away. Also, a general list of outdoor activities I can do with the pet is welcome. For example, if I can take the pet hiking, to the park, for walks, etc. Also, does your pet get along with other animals, children, or people well, and does your pet get car sick? These variables are essential information for me to know to ensure the best care while you are away. My passion is pets, and I want to ensure your pets are comfortable and safe with me, so I highly encourage more than enough information on caring for your babies. Please note if your location is 40 miles, plus, in distance from my Rover given location, I charge for milage, for the traveling/distance in the initial reservation contact message for meet and greets. I will send you a new quote to your initial request for these changes in price due to milage charges. Thank you for understanding this policy.

“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.”
“Reached out to Lelainy on short notice to watch our buddy Boone for fall break. She was very responsive the entire stay and provided updates/pictures frequently. Her dogs and Boone got along great and I think he really enjoyed his stay. Would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog without hesitation.”

“Laura was so great. She took great care of my dog. She took her on walks, gave me updates on how she was doing, and even took her to get an ice cream cone. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Laura and will forsure use her again soon!”
“Amazing experience. Our dog had the best time. Julie is a true pro, making sure that all dogs boarded are pre-screened and likely to get along. It works! Our pup played all weekend long in the high backyard. Julie provided us with tons of pics, probably some of the best we have. Would highly, highly recommend.”
“It’s obvious that Kristin loves her 3 dogs, she took care of mine like it was one of her own. My dog has anxiety, Kristin sent me lots of updates and photos during the 2 day stay, and she takes wonderful pics! I wouldn’t hesitate to take my dog back to Kristin for a short visit or a longer stay.”
“Our pup appeared to be very content under Kirsten’s care where she had a 24 hour stay. Kirsten was a great communicator and provided pictures and texts that aided in easing the worry of leaving our sweet girl with a total stranger! Thanks for everything.”
“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.”
“We have a very spoiled doxie with some extra needs. We have extremely high standards on leaving him with anyone. (we worry about him being trouble and being safe). Having used Shawna in the past, she was the only one I trusted to keep him when I needed a recent surgery. Would definitely recommend and use her again. Gave good safe care, love, communication and was accommodating to any and all our requests and needs.”

About: About Me Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I do professionally. I own a pet-sitting business serving Central Kentucky. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable with multi-pet households, senior pets, animals with special routines, and pets who need a little extra patience to become comfortable with someone new. I’m also a lifelong animal owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pets. I pay attention to the little things—changes in appetite, behavior, bathroom habits, mobility, or anything else that seems unusual—and I believe in keeping owners updated so they can relax while they’re away. What You Can Expect I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care instructions, maintaining your pet’s normal routine, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially enjoy working with animals who may be shy, particular, anxious, or simply need time to decide that a new person is trustworthy. I don’t expect every pet to immediately love me—I’m happy to earn their trust at their pace. Safety & Communication Your pet’s safety comes first. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep a close eye on the animals in my care, and communicate promptly if I notice anything concerning. You’ll also receive updates so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s hands. My goal is for you to come home to happy animals who have been well cared for and whose normal routine has been disrupted as little as possible. Whether you have one spoiled house cat, an energetic dog, a senior who likes to take things slowly, or a whole household of four-legged family members, I’d be happy to care for them. Although I work as a substitute teacher, there are many days I am home part or all of the day. While I have a generic routine, I like to know the pets usual routine so I can cater to that as much as is possible. I have a small fenced yard, but most importantly, my apartment is set up with pet safety in mind. I have gates and latches to prevent accidental runners, my cat has her own space to keep away from other animals, I have the space and ability to separate dogs if needed. Ultimately I treat them like my own. They are welcome in my bed, have free run of the common areas, have lots of toys... I am always up for snuggles and fun!
“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!”
“Communication and understanding and ability to accommodate on the fly was outstanding. Nova came back to me happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone and will definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. I also have experience caring for and walking friends’ dogs and am excited to expand that experience by helping more local dog owners! I’m active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a relaxed walk to a more active walk or run for dogs who need extra exercise. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, and I’ll make sure their time with me is safe, fun, and tailored to what they need. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I’m a full-time student and also work part-time, but my schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for pet care! I have availability on different mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the day. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both your schedule and your dog’s routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow all instructions and routines provided, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any specific household rules. For walks and runs, I’ll always prioritize your dog’s safety by keeping them securely leashed, paying attention to their surroundings, and adjusting the pace and distance based on their age, energy level, and needs. I’ll also provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Olivia went way beyond expectation! She took excellent care of our 70+ lb. golden doodle who needs lots of love and attention while we were out of town. This was the absolute best dog sitter experience we have had and we will definitely be using her again!!”
“Victoria did a fantastic job with my dog! She lives on a beautiful piece of land with hobby barn animals as well as cats and dogs. As a trainer she knew the best way to introduce my dog to them. She was extremely responsive to messages as well!”
