“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!”
“Bret was amazing, took great care of my Velcro baby. I work nights & Bret was able to accommodate my last minute booking. He’s very thorough & kind. I know Dior had a great time spending the night with him & his family. We would definitely be booking again.”
“Haley made me feel so safe leaving my dog with a stranger. I was updated with pictures and activity through the day and it made it so relieving.”
“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
“Ana was wonderful! Very loving and caring. My furbaby became very attached to her husband as well. She also liked playing with Mia, Ana’s fur baby, which was awesome. She is usually indifferent to other animals. I would highly, highly recommend Ana. It was such a comfort knowing Ruby was being loved while we were away ❤️”
“Winnie was great watching my dog while I was out of town. He came home happy and relaxed. She sent pictures and was very communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off. The whole process was really easy and stress-free. Thank you so much.”
“Morgan is such a sweet person, she’s quick with her response, sends pictures for updates & I can tell my little one had an amazing time. I’ll definitely be using her again🤗”
“Kirsten was amazing! She offered a meet and greet before my dog’s boarding. A very sweet person. And I was able to tell my dog would be in great hands. Awesome communication and I received plenty of updates including pictures and videos. I have an Aussie, and he has a lot of energy and Kirsten matches it perfectly.”
“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!”
“Brian was amazingly patient with our rescue pup. This was her first time boarding since she left the shelter. He was super observant and patient with her. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!”
“It was such a great experience with Amber during the holidays! This was our first leaving our puppy and I'm glad it was a positive experience. Amber was very accommodating, and responsive and continued to give us updates as we requested. She made sure that all of my puppy needs were met and maintained the same schedule. Thank you Amber for taking care of Simba! 🐾”
“Martha was fantastic! This was my first time leaving my dogs over night and Martha made me feel at ease that they were having a great time. She sent me regular photos and videos and got back to me quickly every time I reached out. My dogs were at ease and happy to see me when I got there, but I could tell they felt at home with her and her husband!! Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve been around and cared for all different sorts of dogs since I can remember. I’ve owned a pit bull, Dalmatians, boxers, labs etc! I’m great at keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to each pet’s routine. I’m responsible and attentive to every animal I care for to make sure there as comfortable as can be while being away from their owners. I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and love I’d want for my own. Im currently only working part time hours so i have plenty of availability to spend quality time with any pet I will be boarding, sitting or walking! I currently live in an apartment not too far from shillito park so while I don’t have a backyard shillito park is a short walk away and one of my favorite places to go for walks.
About: I have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own right now and have always had fur families - small to medium dogs, cats, and hamsters, young and old and anywhere in between. I train my puppies/dogs and kittens/cats for basic safety and helping them get used to being handled for grooming. I also do pee pad and/or outside potty training and crate training for puppies/dogs. I’m experienced with giving medicine to both dogs and cats as well as using diapers on senior dogs. I’m able to check on or walk your fur family typically after 5:30 p.m. during the weekdays. I’m available for boarding after 5:30 p.m. on Friday and through the weekends. One of my dogs particularly loves playing with other dogs to keep your dog company! We have a long leash that can be used for the dogs to run around in our big backyard. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet overall. I can also crate your dog as needed or to provide a quiet environment inside the house. I will do my utmost best to respect your wishes and prioritize the safety and comfort of your fur family. I love taking and sending pictures and updates!
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!

“Sarah’s been amazing with Bill and Charlie — reliable, great updates and photos, total peace of mind. Highly recommend her for anyone’s cats!”
“My cat did great with Angelee for my latest trip. She kept him entertained and on his medications each day. I appreciate all her help with my old kitty!”
“So glad I found Bree! She was fantastic with my two kitties. Bree sent lots of updates and pictures, and it was so reassuring to know my girls were in good hands. One of my cats is a scaredy-cat with strangers, but she warmed up the Bree quickly. ☺️”
“Julie looked after our young cat for our second time, during our recent three week vacation. Everything went great! She left us detailed messages about his activities, moods and play sessions, along with some cute photos. Really took the time to get to know him and his likes/dislikes over this long vacation. Wonderful sitter, caring and communicative! We plan to employ her for any future trips.”
“Kara is amazing! I would highly recommend her to take care of anyone’s fur babies while they are out of town, at work, etc. Kara is communicative, caring, & dependable! I was always kept updated with how my cats were doing during my entire trip. I cannot recommend Kara enough, she does a wonderful job!”

“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”
“Evelyn did a great job with a not so easy Dog, or Katie. She was a great communicator, and I think Katie was happy with her visits. We will definitely ask Evelyn to sit with her again.”
About: I've been a cat mom for over 30 years, and I have extensive experience with all types of cats - including bottle feeding and raising an abandoned deaf kitten, taking care of a senior cat with several chronic illnesses requiring medications and sub-Q fluids.

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 three senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.
“Megan looked after my dog, Figgy, every day for two weeks during an especially busy time at work. I had never trusted anyone else to look after her before, so I was understandably nervous about how it would go. I honestly couldn’t recommend Megan enough! Figgy had such a wonderful time and was made to feel like part of the family. I never had to worry about her care or happiness, which was such a huge weight off my mind during an already busy period. Megan was incredibly welcoming, flexible, and caring, and it was clear how much she genuinely loved having Figgy around (and vice versa). I would absolutely trust Megan with Figgy again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Thank you, Megan and Parker!”
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: 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.

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. 🐾
About: I have been pet sitting since I was young and have also always had cats and dogs since I can remember. I am very experienced in pet sitting and you can trust me with your fur babies!! I’ve always loved taking care of animals. I have pet sit for many years and have always enjoyed it. I love being able to take dogs on walks and enjoy outside time and also just giving animals affection and love! I have no problem visiting clients home, I have done it many times before and it worked out fine! I don’t usually bring animals to my place just because I have animals myself.
“I was visiting family in the area, and I left my 40 lb female husky with Kimberly for the day. My husky gets anxious in new environments and loves to be outside. Kimberly helped her get acquainted with the new surroundings and took her for SO many walks! When I picked my husky up at the end of the day, she was very happy and very tired! I would definitely contact again and recommend Kimberly. I felt very comfortable, she was very communicative & clearly cared about my husky having a good day too!”

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.
“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.”
“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: 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!

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.

They’ll have access to comfortable furniture, socialization opportunities (when appropriate), and engaging activities so they feel secure and stimulated while in my care.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a small child, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, goats, sheep, and ducks. I currently share three rescue dogs with my partner, who all love meeting new dog friends! I was a small animal vet tech for several years, and am very comfortable administering medications, including insulin, as well as reading dog behavior and body language to ensure safety. I can confidently manage play time and I’m willing to step in if someone looks like they need a break. We have a fully-fenced, secure backyard, with 6-ft privacy fencing and plenty of room to run! My partner and I both work from home, so dogs are rarely left unattended. Two of our dogs are crate-trained (our senior boy does not get crated). My partner and I both work from home to accommodate our dogs. The dogs are rarely left unattended, unless we are going somewhere together. We set aside time to play with our dogs and take them for walks and hikes. I have a fully-fenced backyard secured with 6 ft privacy fencing. I am confident in reading dog body language and behavior and have no problem stepping in to allow breaks in play time. Our dogs are very friendly with others and are fully vaccinated, and we welcome other vaccinated dogs with regular disinfection between client pups.

“Julie is the best. She took very good care of our senior dogs, particularly when one was very ill. She understands dog behavior and how to deal with various dog personalities, which is comforting when you are leaving your loved ones with others. My dog gets very excited when she arrives. She had a big heart, and I could not recommend her more.”
“Exceptional Dog Walker Mary has been walking my two dogs (a chocolate lab and a bloodhound) every day and has been an absolute lifesaver. Here’s why she’s great: · Dependable: She is on time and reliable. · Caring & Attentive: She genuinely loves my dogs and pays close attention to their needs and behavior. · Excellent Communication: After every walk, she takes the time to tell me how they did and shares any details. · Handles Large Breeds: She is confident and wonderful with my big, sometimes stubborn, bloodhound and energetic lab. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a first-rate dog walker!”
“Dax was very detailed at all times with his responses and notes. I felt very comfortable letting him take care of my dogs especially seeing the many pictures he took while he was there. He does a great job!”
“Kim is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Kim and asked if she could walk my two dogs for a couple of days. Kim kindly replied to me quickly and was very accommodating to my last minute request. She treated my dogs with so much love and care. She made sure to refill their water, give them a few treats and sent me some adorable pictures of them where they looked so happy! She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!”
About: With a lifetime of experience living with dogs and cats and a year of consistent dogsitting, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages and energy levels. I provide in-home overnight stays, drop-ins, and dog walking to help keep your pet comfortable in their familiar space. As a paraeducator, I’m organized, calm under pressure, and attentive to individual needs. I understand how important routine, safety, and communication are, and I take pride in providing dependable care you can trust. I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week and on weekends. Because of this flexibility, I can provide reliable, attentive care and adjust to each pet’s unique routine and energy level. My approach to pet care is structured, attentive, and tailored to each individual pet. Before care begins, I like to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, triggers, and any medical or behavioral needs. • Overnight stays: Maintain normal schedule, walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. • Drop-ins: Bathroom breaks, feeding, fresh water, enrichment/play, and safety check of the home. • Walks: Safe leash handling, appropriate exercise, and attention to weather and surroundings. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos during each visit.
“Addelynn has been great with our new pup. We are gone most of the day for work and she comes on the days when we wont be home until late. She is responsive, walks him 20 minutes and sends pictures as well as how he did and if he went potty. Would recommend! Thanks!”
“Haley really did me a solid when she let me know that Ryleigh wasn't feeling good. She took the time to find her meds and give them to her. Truly appreciated that.”
“Sarah was great! She was prompt in her communication and got in a good distance for the walk. I’m sure Mo had a great time! Will be a repeat!”
About: I've had both dogs and cats. My dog was an 80 pound malamute (the runt of her litter) that I used to walk around my neighborhood--though most of the dogs I have cared for have been much smaller. In the past, I have adopted cats from my friends and taken in a neighbor's cat. I have cared for the pets of my friends and neighbors for work, travel, and illness. I'm retired. I enjoy reading and gardening. I occasionally go out some evenings but otherwise I have plenty of time flexibility for pet sitting. To care for pets in a client's home, I would want to meet with the client and their pet before an assignment. This would be helpful to know the client's expectations and to get acquainted with and build trust with the pet(s). I own a home where I have cared for my friend's pets during emergencies.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life, first with pets growing up, and now as a proud dog mom who works from home full time. That means I can give your pet real attention, not just a quick pop in. I have an anxious dog of my own, so I completely understand how much pets thrive on routine, familiar surroundings, and a calm presence. It’s why I believe in caring for pets in their own space and decided to join Rover. I’ll never rush your pet or force interaction and let them warm up at their own pace. I also have years of experience with the senior dogs in my family, so I’m comfortable with slower walks, medications, and the extra gentleness older pets deserve. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting. When I stay overnight, my own dog stays home with my partner so your pet gets my full, undivided attention. My flexible schedule means I can keep your pet’s routine exactly as they know it, with plenty of photo updates along the way! I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I can do morning, midday, or evening drop ins and walks, and I’m available for overnight house sitting with plenty of notice or even short notice when my calendar allows. Your pet’s routine stays exactly as they know it. I follow your instructions to the letter: feeding schedules, medications, walking routes, and household rules. I always keep dogs leashed outdoors unless you have a secure fenced yard, double check doors and gates, and send regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind while you’re away :)
About: Hi pet parents! I have had dogs in my home since I was 7 years old and have learned how to take care of them, train them, and love them! I have also been around cats and other animals and love them just as much! Needless to say, I have a lot of experience taking care of animals and can’t wait to meet your fur babies :) I currently own a pitbull mix and have experience with big & strong dogs, as well as training dogs. I also understand that each animal is unique and has unique requirements. PLEASE READ!! <3 Your pet is my number one priority at all times and I will spend all of my free time with them! I work Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm, so on those days, I am only available before 7:30am & after 5pm ish for drop ins and walks! I work in events, so sometimes this can differ. At a clients home, I will make sure to follow whatever rules and tasks are set up for me and make sure your fur baby gets a ton of love!
About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and some medical conditions. I have experience caring for animals with diabetes, as well as senior pets! For the last 3 years, I have been the sitter of choice for my friends and family looking for pet care while out of town. I specialize in basic dog care and training, but also love taking care of cats as well! I commit to giving my absolute best to ensure your pet is well cared for, and will do my best to bring joy and excitement while they are in my care. At home, I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I am currently a full time student at the University of Kentucky. I’m studying Flute Performance and Music Education, and am a member of the Wildcat Marching Band. You can expect early morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can come spend some time with your pup during other breaks in my class schedule. In your home, I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I will ensure they are fed on time and given plenty of time for social interactions and potty breaks/walks. I will do everything I can to ensure your instructions are followed as best as possible, and will keep you updated on how your pet is doing every step of the way!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover offering dedicated, highly reliable pet care, I bring a mature, calm, and deeply responsible approach to looking after your furry family members. As a dedicated "cat lady" with experience caring for both cats and dogs, I understand animal behavior. I understand that every pet has a unique personality—whether they are high-energy and need structured attention, or are shy and independent, and just need a gentle, patient presence. I work from home full-time as a freelancer, which means my schedule is exceptionally flexible. Your pets will never be a rushed afterthought. Because I am not bound to a rigid 9-to-5 office schedule, I can generally accommodate precise visit windows, providing consistent routines, timely feeding, and focused companionship when your pet needs it most. When you book a visit with me, you can expect absolute reliability, meticulous attention to your home's security, and clear, detailed updates on your fur babies (with pics of course!). I look forward to giving you total peace of mind while you are away!
About: I’ve been around and cared for all different sorts of dogs since I can remember. I’ve owned a pit bull, Dalmatians, boxers, labs etc! I’m great at keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to each pet’s routine. I’m responsible and attentive to every animal I care for to make sure there as comfortable as can be while being away from their owners. I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and love I’d want for my own. Im currently only working part time hours so i have plenty of availability to spend quality time with any pet I will be boarding, sitting or walking! I currently live in an apartment not too far from shillito park so while I don’t have a backyard shillito park is a short walk away and one of my favorite places to go for walks.
About: I have had a dog from the time I was 12 until I was 22! I know how to take care of all ages, from puppies to our beloved senior doggies. I’m in search for my new study buddy to keep me company while I do my flash cards! I am currently in medical school, and my class schedule is predictable but flexible. With a low amount of required activities, I am available to spend more time with your babies! I usually study from home, which means we can both keep each-other company :) I have experience in dog sitting and house sitting. I will be more than happy to spend as much time as possible in your home so that your pets stay on as normal of a routine as possible. I care for pets like I care for my patients- with love, responsibility, and devotion!
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: I’ve causally pet sit for my friends plenty of times and I am very comfortable taking care of dogs. I would love to be your pets bestie:) Right as of this moment I’m working part time so most of my shifts are 5hrs. Either 10-3 or 3-8pm. I will try to spend as much time as possible with your pet. I’m going to make sure they get some exercise in before I head off to work. I offer lots of cuddles and play ! I will make sure to keep your pet’s routine intact. I’m available to house sit if needed.

“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!”
“Bret was amazing, took great care of my Velcro baby. I work nights & Bret was able to accommodate my last minute booking. He’s very thorough & kind. I know Dior had a great time spending the night with him & his family. We would definitely be booking again.”
“Kathryn was a great fit for our high energy Boston Terrier. She demonstrated warmth and genuine affection for Jaxy. This is the longest we had been away from him and never worried at all that he was not in great hands. We very much recommend her care and will be calling on her again!”
“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.”
“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
“Winnie was great watching my dog while I was out of town. He came home happy and relaxed. She sent pictures and was very communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off. The whole process was really easy and stress-free. Thank you so much.”
“Tonisha is great. I boarded my two dogs at her house for two days and she was very responsive and flexible before and during their stay. When I met her in person she was very kind and professional, and my dogs liked her right away. She sent multiple picture updates of my dogs outside playing or on walks which helped put me at ease. She is clearly very experienced with dogs and had no trouble handling my powerful Cane Corso or keeping my sneaky French Bulldog in line. My dogs were absolutely exhausted when they came home which tells me that they had a great time. I recommend Tonisha!”
“Laura was amazing! She communicated so well and sent me photos while I was gone. My old girl can require extra TLC and Laura helped make her feel at home and get settled in. I felt completely at ease knowing my baby was in her care.”
“Dogs came home happy after a few days spent sleeping on Tania's couches with her dogs and getting some nice long walks. Tania sent photo updates which is always appreciated.”
“Kirsten was amazing! She offered a meet and greet before my dog’s boarding. A very sweet person. And I was able to tell my dog would be in great hands. Awesome communication and I received plenty of updates including pictures and videos. I have an Aussie, and he has a lot of energy and Kirsten matches it perfectly.”

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!
