“Brent took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation. He provided lots of photos, videos, and updates which were much appreciated. We would highly recommend him for boarding or any other offered services”
“Sandra is always a wonderful sitter for our German Shepherd, but this time she really went above and beyond. Due to complications with our daughter’s birth, we were at the hospital for quite some time. Sandra offered to keep our shepherd for an extended period of time without issue. I also cannot thank her and her family enough for the kindness they demonstrated during this incredibly stressful time. I recommend Sandra without reservation.”
“Emily took wonderful care of Mora, she has a great fenced backyard and sent us pictures, Mora had a great time, will definitely have her take care of our dog in the future, highly recommended”
“Kathy was amazing. Our two little monsters felt so loved and cared for when staying with her. She provided updates on how they were doing throughout the week and had a blast playing with her.”
“Erin and family took great care of our Lucy Lu. Our dog is old and takes a bit more care than most dogs, as she is deaf and on medications. Erin kept us up to date on Lucy’s weekend and share pictures. We will definitely be calling again when we need doggie care. Thanks Erin!!!”
“Ann was great with my little dog. She was easy to communicate with and answered my questions quickly. I was surprised to see Ann had 2 large dogs of her own. That’s on me, I should have asked if she had large dogs. I got really nervous about leaving Scruffy because his back has been injured a couple of times by larger dogs. Ann was very reassuring and took good care of Scruffy. She also sent lots of photos to help easy my mind. I will be using Ann again.”
“Nancy was amazing! My dog was really tired and happy when I picked him up, he definitely enjoyed the farm life :) Nancy sent me pictures and updates everyday. Would definitely recommend and will book with her in the future.”
“Baloo had a great few days spending time with Brooke and Jason and their family. She was well cared for and made herself comfortable. We loved hearing about her day with well informed messages along with adorable pictures. We would highly recommend them and we definitely keep them in mind when Baloo needs a home away from home in the future.”
“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”
“Maggie is sweet! Our dog seemed to have a great time with her, her dog, and cats. Her dog took a bit of time to warm up to our dog, but it seemed they became good friends shortly thereafter.”
“Audrey and Samuel did a great job caring for my puppy! She was exhausted when we picked her up so I think she had a lot of fun! They also offered to do a meet-and-great which is great.”
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 two senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.
“Great experience! They took wonderful care of Thor and sent updates, which I really appreciated. He’s an easy cat, but they still kept him in his own room so he felt safe and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”
“Martha did such a wonderful job looking after our little Gumbo! There was great communication and she clearly loves and has great experience with taking care of pups! Gumbo was extremely relaxed and happy when we picked him up after a long stay. We are so grateful to have found such a great boarding option!!”

About: I've taken care of cats my whole life. I have a cat of my own named motzie! I do have 2 dogs as well in my home. They are cat lovers as well! I look forward to meeting and taking great care of your precious pet!
About: After having dogs, old and young, and helping my family birth and raise puppies, I began working with a shelter in college. Now, I'm ready to keep loving on pups in any way I can. I have recently moved to a full time position, which puts my availability as follows. Mon-Fri: 4:00pm-10:00pm Sat-Sun: 6:0am-10:00pm I can work with you for anything in those times! I have become familiar with dogs body language to know when they are comfortable or uncomfortable with what is happening around them, and when to leash/crate them (at owners preference) for the safety of your pet and the safety of others.
About: I am a dog mom of two! They are my world, but I have never met an animal I didn’t like!! Small or big they are all special and need love!! I work as a caregiver in the evenings Monday through Thursday 3:30-10 and Friday 3:30-8. So I am available all other hours of the day. I also have the flexibility if I must to make a quick stop by during working hours if I need. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs who love making new friends and having play dates! I believe that the house is there home and they are welcome to sleep and lay on the couches and beds!!
“She watched over our cat, Willow, while we were out of the country. Before leaving I had been so worried about her dealing with the stress of us being gone since she has a bad history with stress and not eating, but having Dyanne there immediately eased our minds. We got regular updates and tons of pictures of our sweet girl! We will definitely be reaching out to Dyanne for our future trips”
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life—both indoor and outdoor—so I know how to read their moods and keep them happy. I’ve also gained hands-on experience working at a humane society and a veterinarian’s office, giving me confidence in feeding, administering medication, and spotting health concerns. I love making sure every cat feels safe, loved, and well cared for—from playtime to keeping their litter box sparkling clean. Your furry family members will be in caring hands!
“Caitlin was great with our pup! She communicated ahead of time and made sure Shadow was taken care of. She was intentional with playing with him and providing us updates. Will be using her in the future!”
About: I have eight years of pet care experience ranging from dogs and cats to small rodents and reptiles. Not only have I been pet sitting since 2018, I’ve also been a frequent volunteer at my local animal shelter. I am the perfect sitter for your furry friend because I balance respect for a safety and appropriate guidance with a big heart and passion to make pets happy. I am familiar and comfortable with cleaning, vet visits, walking and providing medication as necessary. Additionally, I love to play, cuddle, and tend to the curiosity of my dogs, and I intend to do all the same for yours! My schedule is open during both weekdays and weekends, so I am both able to watch your pets when it’s convenient to you, and able to receive bookings and cancellations same-day. I have two big pups of my own at home, but as I live at home with my family, they will not need to travel with me to other places to care for your pets. That’s being said, I take great care of my dogs!
“Chelsea was amazing! She stayed in our home for 11 days and cared for our two kittens, and checked to ensure our snake had water. She went above and beyond taking care of our home and our fur babies. I received texts with pics and videos nearly everyday. She was very responsive to messages. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Katie is the best. Our cats are not real sociable but they seem to take to Katie right away. We will definitely continue using her. You won’t be disappointed should you decide to book Katie to care for your fur babies.”
“Tayler was incredible! She was so sweet and very caring to my two dogs and one cat. She was prompt and followed all the care instructions very well. Tayler also took and shared with us so amazing pictures! I loved seeing these updates and hearing how the animals were doing while we were away!”
About: I grew up with a family who always rescued cats or adopted. My sister has a cat & my parents have one while I have my own beautiful Julep. Julep showed me how to give any where from antibiotics to daily medication pills. Litter box wise, I am familiar with a standard box, to a robotic litter box. Taking care of cats is a second nature to me since I am constantly doing it for friends & family.
About: While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve spent plenty of time caring for the cats of friends and my girlfriend. I’m comfortable feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and giving them space when they want it. I also enjoy visiting cat cafés and spending time with cats whenever I get the chance, so I’m familiar with their different personalities and know that every cat has their own comfort level.
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.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.
About: I have taken care of pets for 10+ years and I absolutely love it. I am the go to person with my friends whenever they go out of town. I can’t wait to care for your pet as if they were my own! I am currently working a part time job so i am very flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet! Let me know with any questions you may have. I always make sure i ease into the animals space so that they are comfortable and geeked cared for. I am always cautious of other animals if we are on walks to protect the safety of your pet.

“Andrew and his family were amazing sitters. The responsiveness and communication was off the charts. My dog is typically afraid but with Andrew, she quickly became acclimated and comfortable. I was able to see my pet throughout her stay with Andrew in pictures and videos. She appeared to be so happy getting exercise and exploring with his daughter. Do not hesitate to book Andrew! He is such an outstanding sitter and I would recommend him to anyone in the area for their pet.”
“Ollie had a great time! Brent sent pics and was a great communicator! If we're back in Lexington, we will definitely have Ollie stay here again!”
“This was our first time using a sitter and we are so pleased with Audrey and Samuel. Communication was awesome. Received updates with pictures. Audrey is a very sweet person and you can tell she loves dogs. Do not hesitate to use them if you need a sitter.”
About: I was born into an animal-loving family and I have continued to instill this love for animals in my own children. I have had a menagerie of animals all of my life. At the young age of 12, I started walking the neighbors' dogs and going to their houses when they were out of town to feed, water, and walk their pets. In college, I worked part-time in several different veterinary clinics. I am still very well connected to the veterinary world so if I am unsure of something involving my pets, I am able to reach out to get an answer pretty quickly. Over my lifetime of 40 yrs. I have had at least 20 dogs, 10 cats, several rabbits, horses, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a few reptiles (but no snakes). In my full-time job, I have a hybrid work schedule. Some days I am in the office and some days I work from home. This allows some flexibility when caring for fur babies. My family also helps care for our "animal guests". It is a group effort! I have a 1/2 acre that is fenced. I have 3 dogs- a Newfoundland, Black Lab, and a Beagle. All of my dogs are rescues. I know that I rescued them but as cheesy as it sounds, most days I feel like they rescued me. Each of them has their own personality, which I love. My dogs are usually always by my side when I am home. My dogs love to jump on the bed or couch and get snuggles. I also have 3 cats. All of them found us. They were all dumped on us and of course, I couldn't turn them away. :) I would treat your animals the same way I treat mine- with love and snuggles.
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. I have experience dog walking, feeding, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I do my best to keep things consistent so they feel relaxed and happy. 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. 🐾
“Clarissa was great! She was so easy to work with and gave us several updates with photos throughout the day. She took wonderful care of our dog, including administering eye drops. We will definitely use her again as a pet sitter. Added bonus- she has a super sweet dog of her own that kept our dog great company 😁”

About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. For my personal comfort and safety, I currently book pet care with female clients only. Thank you for understanding! I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“Emily and her pups were great! She was very welcoming and flexible with her time. She has an amazing fenced in yard. I felt very comfortable with her, and she was very patient and worked with my dog to get her settled. My doggie was very anxious, and Emily was very patient! Already have another booking with her for boarding!”
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.

“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!”
“Nancy has a huge fenced in yard. Maverick enjoyed his stay and came home tired after playing with the several dogs in Nancy's care. We will book with Nancy again. Thank you!”
“Nathan did a great job! Great communication and I appreciate how he asked a few extra questions when I first dropped my pup off to make sure he took care of him well. Pup returned happy! Highly recommend!”
“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: 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: We would love to take care of your furry family member while you're away! We will make sure he has a marvelous time with all of us. My husband and I grew up on farms in Kentucky and have loved dogs all our lives. Our kids also love dogs! We have a large fenced yard, and there are lots of walking areas nearby. We would take your dog on a walk or let him romp around the yard. We do have a cat named Eleanor and kids, so it is important that your furry friend be comfortable around cats and children. Eleanor mostly keeps to herself, so as long as your dog doesn't chase or bark at her, things should go fine! Why I love dog sitting We've loved dogs our entire lives. We don’t have a dog at the moment so enjoy caring for pups when their owners are away. About my yard We do have a large fenced yard!

About: I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, and livestock—was part of everyday life. I have 5+ years of experience raising dogs and 3 years working in a dog boarding facility, caring for multiple dogs with different needs, routines, and temperaments. I also worked for a veterinarian, gaining experience with safe handling, health awareness, and attentive care. In addition, I have 3 years of experience training puppies starting as young as 3 days old, focusing on early socialization, routine building, and positive reinforcement. Whether I’m caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, cats, or farm animals, I provide dependable, loving, and detail-oriented care. I treat every animal like family and prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I am a full time chiropractic student, so I will have time in the early morning and late evening on weekdays. I will also be available all day during the weekends! I care for pets by following their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, medications, and preferences. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. Safety and comfort are always my priorities, and I closely monitor behavior and health. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, cats, and farm animals, and I adjust my care to fit each pet. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while away.
About: I’ve raised and trained working dog breeds, including cattle dogs, so I understand the importance of mental stimulation, exercise, and structure. My experience includes obedience training, handling high-energy dogs, and managing multiple pets.

About: Apart from my good aura & energy, cats are drawn to my respectful boundaries & patience to let them come to me when they are ready. I have been cat sitting for so long that I am familiar with several types of litter boxes, toys, foods & signs. "My cat has never warmed up so fast to anyone" remains a common phrase throughout my entire life. I wake up and let my parents dog out, clean the litter box for their cats & then feed the fish in case my mother forgot. I also feed the dog in the afternoon (mom does morning) & the cats as well. Any help that is needed along with vet visits, fall on me since I am home more than anyone. I make sure that I am aware of any hiding spots in other peoples homes for cats so that I can check on them constantly even if it just means checking that they are still in the same spot. Cats, depending on playfulness, need attention & proper care. I make sure I set alarms or reminders if they need medication or special care from the owners. Watching tv, reading a book or cleaning are my favorite past times while I cat sit. If I need to be home all day with them, then I will entertain myself easily.
“Sloane is an absolute gem. She is conscientious, dedicated, and thorough. She takes care of our basket-case of a rescue dog several times per week and has been our savior from the ridiculousness of his unending energy and anxiety while we’re away. Her report cards are filled with humor and have us laughing out loud every time. Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I have been raised around animals and pets(livestock, dogs, cats, birds, etc.) ever since I could remember. I lived in a farm town with a wide variety of animals. My mother also owned a boarding and grooming facility that I was raised at feeding, watering, and walking the animals. I’m a senior at Lindsey Wilson University, I graduate in December ‘26. During the summer, May 19th through August 25th I’ll be available! After August 25th, I will still be available. However, I do need to be on campus in Columbia, KY every Tuesday & Thursday from 8am-12:30pm Central Time. I would love to come spend some time with your pet! Please reach out with any questions! I have had two dogs in my lifetime that were my sole responsibility. I have had one cat that I shared with my mother. I love to play fetch with my own pup and go on hikes with him as well. I had a lop-eared bunny I rescued as well, during my move to Kentucky I had to give him to my best friend.

Not only have I been pet sitting since 2018, I’ve also been a frequent volunteer at my local animal shelter.

That’s being said, I take great care of my dogs!
“Rachel is the first dog walker I’ve ever hired, and my first experience with Rover. She has been exceptional. SO sweet, great at communicating, and timely. She also spent an extra 20-30 minutes walking my dog (after communicating to see if it was ok), trying to track down a bandana that had fallen off. She has been a huge help to my family, and I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for about 2 years now. So I have experience with all breeds and I know how to handle them. I’ve volunteered multiple times at my local animal shelter along with giving dogs medicine including insulin shots! Other than that I’ve grown up with many dogs and cats. So I love animals. I’m currently in college with a major in agriculture hoping to be a vet in the future! I’m currently on summer break so I have a lot of free time at the moment! I can house sit, drop in visits, and do walks in the evening or at whatever time on my days off! I can only care for your pets in your home since I live in a dorm! I will follow all rules given to me to take care of your fur baby!
About: I have cared for animals of all kinds ranging from ferrets and bunnies to horses and large dogs, several of which had various medical needs and requirements. I also have experience in basic training for dogs if a training regimen is required. I am currently waiting for the fall semester for college to start so I have lots of free time to devote to the care and safety of your animals. While I cannot care for other dogs or cats in my home, small pets like ferrets and chinchillas are welcome if they travel with an enclosure.
About: Ive always been surrounded by animals my whole life. They are a strong passion of mine. I have a sweet playful pup of my own right now. Ill happily enjoy watching your pets and treat them as well as I treat my own! I do work full time. I work the same hours weekly Monday - Friday 8:30-4:30 ( can take lunch break for pet check in ) I live in a large neighborhood. Very friendly. Great streets for walking. My family is a huge pet friendly family!! A dog park is about 5 minutes away!
About: I was born into an animal-loving family and I have continued to instill this love for animals in my own children. I have had a menagerie of animals all of my life. At the young age of 12, I started walking the neighbors' dogs and going to their houses when they were out of town to feed, water, and walk their pets. In college, I worked part-time in several different veterinary clinics. I am still very well connected to the veterinary world so if I am unsure of something involving my pets, I am able to reach out to get an answer pretty quickly. Over my lifetime of 40 yrs. I have had at least 20 dogs, 10 cats, several rabbits, horses, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a few reptiles (but no snakes). In my full-time job, I have a hybrid work schedule. Some days I am in the office and some days I work from home. This allows some flexibility when caring for fur babies. My family also helps care for our "animal guests". It is a group effort! I have a 1/2 acre that is fenced. I have 3 dogs- a Newfoundland, Black Lab, and a Beagle. All of my dogs are rescues. I know that I rescued them but as cheesy as it sounds, most days I feel like they rescued me. Each of them has their own personality, which I love. My dogs are usually always by my side when I am home. My dogs love to jump on the bed or couch and get snuggles. I also have 3 cats. All of them found us. They were all dumped on us and of course, I couldn't turn them away. :) I would treat your animals the same way I treat mine- with love and snuggles.
About: As an experienced pet and house sitter, I strive to take the best care of all your animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals throughout their whole lifespan. I promise to care for your animals like I would care for my own, pampering them and giving them the best care whether it be during a walk or a drop-in visit. While in high school, I worked as a vet tech at a local clinic and was trained to give medication, clip nails, & give baths. Personally, I have cared for animals with complex medical needs and am a nurse, which allows me to recognize acute changes in your babies.My goal is always to make sure your pets are cared for the way you would care for them, so that you don’t have to worry while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets & I cannot wait to love on them like you would. I have taken some time off for my full-time job, allowing me to care for your pets all hours of the day through July 14. After July 14, I will be available to love on your babies in the evenings and the weekends. When I am in your home, you can expect me to be respectful of your space and your animals. I always ensure that I leave a space better than I found it, accounting for safety of your pets and your home.
About: I have been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when I’m around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we can’t be outside I’ll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course there’s snuggle time together until they’re ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.
About: I have taken care of pets for 10+ years and I absolutely love it. I am the go to person with my friends whenever they go out of town. I can’t wait to care for your pet as if they were my own! I am currently working a part time job so i am very flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet! Let me know with any questions you may have. I always make sure i ease into the animals space so that they are comfortable and geeked cared for. I am always cautious of other animals if we are on walks to protect the safety of your pet.

“Sandra is always a wonderful sitter for our German Shepherd, but this time she really went above and beyond. Due to complications with our daughter’s birth, we were at the hospital for quite some time. Sandra offered to keep our shepherd for an extended period of time without issue. I also cannot thank her and her family enough for the kindness they demonstrated during this incredibly stressful time. I recommend Sandra without reservation.”
“Kathy was amazing. Our two little monsters felt so loved and cared for when staying with her. She provided updates on how they were doing throughout the week and had a blast playing with her.”
“Erin and family took great care of our Lucy Lu. Our dog is old and takes a bit more care than most dogs, as she is deaf and on medications. Erin kept us up to date on Lucy’s weekend and share pictures. We will definitely be calling again when we need doggie care. Thanks Erin!!!”
“Ann was great with my little dog. She was easy to communicate with and answered my questions quickly. I was surprised to see Ann had 2 large dogs of her own. That’s on me, I should have asked if she had large dogs. I got really nervous about leaving Scruffy because his back has been injured a couple of times by larger dogs. Ann was very reassuring and took good care of Scruffy. She also sent lots of photos to help easy my mind. I will be using Ann again.”
“Nancy was amazing! My dog was really tired and happy when I picked him up, he definitely enjoyed the farm life :) Nancy sent me pictures and updates everyday. Would definitely recommend and will book with her in the future.”
“Baloo had a great few days spending time with Brooke and Jason and their family. She was well cared for and made herself comfortable. We loved hearing about her day with well informed messages along with adorable pictures. We would highly recommend them and we definitely keep them in mind when Baloo needs a home away from home in the future.”
“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”
“Audrey and Samuel did a great job caring for my puppy! She was exhausted when we picked her up so I think she had a lot of fun! They also offered to do a meet-and-great which is great.”
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 two senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.
“Great experience! They took wonderful care of Thor and sent updates, which I really appreciated. He’s an easy cat, but they still kept him in his own room so he felt safe and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”
“Thanks to Amber and crew for another great stay, always great to know that they care so much for the guests they keep. I have booked with Amber on several occasions and I highly recommend this sitter!”
“My dog really enjoyed his time and was well taken care of when I had to book a Rover on short notice. Received many photos and Maria was very good about reaching out in a timely manner with any questions or concerns!”
“Angela was SUPER responsive and sweet with my dog! I ended up needing help 2 days before I was supposed to to out of town for the weekend and Angela was very quick to respond and help! I felt 100% comfortable leaving Charli with her and will absolutely be trusting her to watch Charli again!”
About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. For my personal comfort and safety, I currently book pet care with female clients only. Thank you for understanding! I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“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.”
