She is so sweet and will go above and beyond to take care of both you and your pet.”

I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments and treat every pet like my own. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to a 16-year-old son, and as his needs have become more independent, I am looking for part-time work to stay engaged, productive, and contribute my skills in a meaningful way.

About: As a dedicated cat parent to 4 kitties (my oldest is 7!), I offer expert, loving care tailored to your cat's specific personality. I have years of experience managing feeding schedules, keeping litter boxes pristine, and providing the perfect balance of playtime and affection. Your cat will receive the exact same dedicated love and attention I give my own!
About: I've been caring for pets for over 8 years through family, friends, and by helping manage my sister's Rover clients. During that time, I've gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and care needs. One of my greatest strengths is working with senior pets. I helped care for and train my own dogs throughout their lives, including into their senior years at ages 15 and 17. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring health, and providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for pets that require intensive monitoring and strict medication schedules. I understand how important consistency is when a pet has medical, age-related, or special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications as directed, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I've assisted with dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, specialized care, or simply a calm and caring presence, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind during your time away. I am currently in graduate school, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I am only in class for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. In addition to my weekday availability, I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows me to take on weekend house sitting, extended stays, and more flexible scheduling needs without conflict. Overall, my routine makes it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to pets during both weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am experienced with house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I approach each service with the same level of responsibility and care. I make sure doors are secured, leashes are always used properly on walks, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice any changes or concerns. In addition, I respect my clients’ homes and treat them with care and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is to provide peace of mind by creating a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

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.
“John was excellent! I ended up reaching out to him last minute due to a schedule change, and he was very kind and accommodating. Throughout the day, John sent multiple pictures and updates, and he even spoiled him with some homemade food! Our a little guy had such a great time. Will definitely be bringing him back!”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years. I was so lucky to grow up in a home that was the local Noah’s Arc. This childhood formed my commitment and love to animals. About 20 years ago, I decided to enter the world of pure bred dogs and have been an avid exhibitor and breeder of Pointers and Ridgebacks focused always on good temperaments and health. I love dogs and really believe it’s important that each animal I care for, feels at home, comfortable, pampered, exercised and loved. I have 4 dogs that are super casual and it has been very easy to bring animals into my home. I will only take 1 or 2 dogs at a time, as I want to be able to provide the best care possible for them. Your animals are treated as though they are mine and the care and love they will experience can only be exceeded by you. It’s always stressful for animals to be away from their families, so the more I can do to relieve this stress, the better I feel. I always tease my clients that their dogs may come home a little spoiled. I’m very much available all day really to take care of the dogs as my schedule is very flexible. In addition my brother lives with me and he helps me take care of the dogs. There is always a person at our house while your dog will be visiting. I also offer a military discount for those that have or are serving our beautiful country. I do not work outside of the home, which provides me with a lot of flexibility to provide dedicated care to your pets all day. I think it's important dogs that stay at my house receive the same amount of attention as they would at home and as my dogs do. I also believe it's important not to disrupt their daily routine, so I work closely with owners to understand each Dog needs.
“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.”
“Would definitely recommend Nancy. She watches our dog Charlie once a week and is flexible and understanding when our schedule changes on short notice. We also like getting the pictures Nancy sends at the end of the day. Charlie loves her days with Nancy and always comes home happy and exhausted.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.
About: I truly love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're my own. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and needs.

We have one dog at our house who is smaller, but gets along and plays with other dogs very well. My dog gets excited and barks when he sees other dogs, but will calm down after a couple of minutes. My family and I are all pet lovers and they have had a lot of experience with pets as well. I also go on run and walks daily and would be happy to take your dog or pet along with me!
About: My name is Vivi (she/her)! I have been watching, sitting and walking dogs for over four years. I have a keen sense of animal personality and behaviour and have always enjoyed being around them. I've been known by many as *the* dog whisperer--you're in excellent hands here! I live with my friends downtown, but return to my parents house for dog care. Someone's always home for bookings. I work on my own projects between interacting with dogs, and I can take a break at any time. I have a karate class on Mondays and Thursdays, during which I hand off work to one of my parents for just a bit. Your pets are always in good hands here! I believe in being careful with pets and that they should be comfortable with their environment. The best interactions come from mutual trust between pet and caretaker.

About: I have grown up with dogs in the house my whole life. I am especially comfortable taking care of older and senior dogs and adapting to their needs (ex. blind/deaf) and have lived with small to medium breeds. However, I am also experienced with taking care of younger and larger breeds (ex. 1 year old English Labs). I have recently graduated from my undergraduate program, and have plenty of free time while looking for full-time employment. I do have a daughter, which may limit certain appointment times but should be flexible as I do have relatives to help, should I need to check on your pets. Experienced with young and elderly dogs, I am always sure to keep an eye on them when they are outside to prevent any escape or injury, regardless of a fence. If needed, I can also sit with special animals on a schedule, to ensure they go to sleep after meals or a walk.
About: I grew up with dogs. As an adult rescued a dog, worked w rescues for over 10 yrs. Fostered rescues, worked at animal shelter. My own dogs I show and personal service train for me. I work full time at night and have time days and evenings for your fur babies. Work anytime around both yours and my schedule too. Because I live in apartment, I have fenced park to play. Play with my dogs too. Can be crated for safety too while I work. I have cameras on my dogs at all times for safety.
“Savannah accepted my last minute request to walk my doggo. She came to the house to meet us and I knew immediately that she would take great care of him. She arrived promptly at my requested time, walked him and gave him fresh water before she left. I highly recommend Savannah!”
“Mackenzie is absolutely the best! This is my second time booking with her (and Rover). She took care of Maverick during 4th of July weekend and she even took Maverick for the whole day without extra charge. She sent me pictures of Maverick during the day and he looked so happy. I would totally recommend booking her.”

We got lots of updates including photos and could tell Lucy settled right in with their family for the week having so much fun.

“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”

She also took our pup for walks and played with her. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our pup while we were away!”

Ollie gets so excited to go to Ms. Sandra’s house. Sandra is flexible, kind, and so great with animals. We will continue to visit her!!”

“Great experience! I was recommended by a friend and I will say I am so glad I trusted her to leave my baby with her! She sent so many pictures and gave me updates while I was traveling! Definitely helped ease my nerves. I’ve never left my girl behind. I know my baby had a great time and the fact that she got to socialize and meet other dogs was even better! Thank you so much Ann!”

“Alex and Martha have a clean home, a gorgeous backyard and multiple sweet, furry friends that Calliope LOVED to play with. They were communicative and very accommodating - I got picture/video updates every day, and I could tell Calliope was having a BLAST. Will absolutely reach out when I need someone to watch my Gremlin Princess again :)”
“I can’t explain how much of a relief it was to find Allison before a long trip out of state! I was nervous about sending our 2 dogs to someone new, but Allison went above and beyond for everything. We did a meet and greet at her house and she took detailed notes of any info I gave her. She sent daily pictures & sometimes video updates of our boys playing and snuggling with her, her husband and their dog, and taking them to the dog park. When we got home later than expected they were super kind and understanding. Our dogs clearly had a BLAST and came home very happy and healthy! I’m so happy to have doggie sitter friends nearby that I trust now!!”
“Kristin and her family are the best!! Henri is always happy when we go visit. Henri gets lots exercise and always looks happy in the photos that Kristin sends. We love”
