Personalized care for your dog or cat - Vertrees

“Mike and his family were very friendly. My pups had plenty of play area inside and out. They also kept me updated with photos, which was nice. Would refer you to others. Thank you, looking forward to our next meeting.”

“Our pup babies had a blast at Jodie's! Jodie was very responsive and sent me several photos and videos of our pups daily. Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up with dogs of all sizes taught me how to adapt to their unique needs, training styles, and energy levels. I currently care for two energetic, 45-pound dogs, which requires daily structured exercise, interactive mental stimulation, and consistent behavioral management. We all savor ending the night with cuddles and love. I currently work weekdays and get off around 2:30pm so I would be available after then and on some weekends. Due to my job, i'm often available when there are seasonal/holiday breaks. I also live on the base at fort knox! I have 2 dogs that are very shy around newcomers, but love to play when they are warmed up. Since I understand that going into someone's home it's scary for the new comer. I will be extra careful and make sure that they feel comfortable and safe. I do have a fenced yard. I am always around the dogs, so there are almost no times when they are left alone.

“My dog absolutely loves her! She was a rescue and is very timid around anyone but she adores Nicole and is excited when she stays. Will definitely book again.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I am completely comfortable around animals of all different shapes and sizes. I can leash train your dogs if you are having a hard time reeling them in. While I do work during the day, I have the ability to frequent the home and take pets out for walks, play pass, or even just spend time giving them some love. I am home every evening and night. I have a fenced in back yard for free running. I have a small dog that is super friendly to strangers. He walks with me with no leash, and won’t even chase a cat, because he is well trained.

“Dawn did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. We were gone for a week and she made sure to update me on how my baby was doing through texts and photos. She even cuddled her and bought treats when she wasn’t eating the ones I brought. She and her husband were amazing caregivers for my sweet fur baby. I never worried once about whether my baby was safe.”

“Nicole was very friendly and accommodating to Axel for the night of boarding. She was even able to pick him up and drop him back off. He got along with all of her other friendly pets and felt very comfortable during his stay. I would recommend Nicole to anybody else who needs an accommodating place for their fur babies ?”

“I wish I could give Jeannette more than 5 stars! Jeannette agreed to watch our indoor/outdoor cat and keep an eye on our chickens while we were away. I had no idea she had never been around chickens before—you would never have guessed! We had a hen sitting on a nest and had calculated that the eggs would hatch after we got home... we were wrong! While we were away, several chicks started hatching. Jeannette didn't panic—she jumped right in. She went out and bought supplies, made sure the chicks were cared for, and handled everything like a pro, even hatching 4 chicks at her house. She also completely won over our cat, who now seems to love her more than us! Jeannette went so far above and beyond anything we expected. She treated our pets as if they were her own, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were gone. I recommend her with my highest recommendation. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and will go the extra mile, Jeannette is the one!”

About: I’ve had cats all throughout childhood. Feeding schedules, playing with little toys and my favorite lasers lol. I have experience with cutting nails, brushing, cleaning etc. I have experience with cats that are young, old, sick and healthy. I had a cat growing up who was ill so I learned how to give medication and injections and I am comfortable doing so if need be. Overall I just wanna provide the best care for your family.

“Megan was amazing with our 2 cats (even though one is a little bit psycho 🤣). She gave them meds daily and was willing to work with us when our flight got delayed and we had to come the next morning.”

About: I have been raised with dogs my whole life. I've been taught to treat them like family. Animals are my weakness. I go out of my way to make them happy. I love playing with dogs. Walking them. Teaching them. Most importantly loving them. My house will be your dogs home away from home. They will get so much love here from me and my kids. If they are older my kids no how to be gentle or just stay away. I will make sure they are safe and happy at all times. I can do as many walks as needed. Potty breaks are no problem with my big fenced yard. I do not leave dogs out for too long especially in the heat. We will have play time daily. They will get to sleep in my daughters room with her even on the bed if they prefer. There will be someone here at all times to watch them. I would love to meet you and your babies and become apart of their family. I also watch any other fur babies you may have! With my part time job I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. When they are with me they are my priority. All other activities are put on hold. We do as little as possible to make sure we spend as much time with your babies while they are with us. I have a fenced in backyard and a home they are welcomed in as family. Nice comfy twin sized bed for sleep! They will be spoiled!! I am an early riser so your pups will get to get out and enjoy the weather early. We will have plenty of playtime throughout the day. And daily walks. The pups needs are always put first. I want to be their home away from home. My home is their home and my fenced back yard offers plenty of play time!

About: I have a lot of experience caring for animals! We have had animals my entire life, and I currently now have 5 of my own. Anyone who knows me knows I am an animal lover and your dogs will feel at home here. I do have children ages 6 and 3 and one cat. I currently only work 2 days a week and have 2 kids who love to go on walks! So I am home most of the day and I am also able to walk any time of day! In my home I have a privacy fenced in backyard for your dogs to play in! I also have a crate that they can go in if needed!

About: Hi! I’m Kembra, an active duty Army Logistics Officer based in Kentucky, a military professional, and a proud mom. My career has taught me the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, communication, and caring for others, qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve always had a love for animals and understand that pets are family. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a visit, or caring for them while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in your absence. My dog, Milo, of 12 years ( shown in my profile) has just recently passed away due to old age, so having a reminder of being around a persons best friend, is also so very cherished, through the sharing of others fur babies . I know what it means to have a “Man’s best friend” in this case , a woman’s . I’m dependable, patient, and believe every pet deserves individualized care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications (if applicable), favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide the same level of care they’re used to at home. As someone who values structure and consistency, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection come naturally. Whether your pet loves adventure or simply wants someone to relax beside them, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. I have a clean, safe environment and understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. My priority is giving you peace of mind while making your pet’s experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

“Amanda is wonderful. The photos are adorable, she’s prompt, she takes great care of the dogs, and I trust her. Only wish the app would let me tip her more!”

About: Hey there! I’ve had animals and pets all throughout my childhood. I have always been passionate about animals. Our fur baby’s really are a huge part of our family. We are an active family so being outside a lot is important and we love to share that with animals. We go on walks and hikes a lot we even bring them on lake day adventures and my favorite… camping trips! I can clip nails, give baths, brush coats throughou and I have experience with giving injections and medications. I love to play with pups fetch with a ball or tug of war with their favorite rope toy! I am very observant, organized, adaptive and willing to to learn anything about your furry friends! I’m currently a stay at home mom. I am the sole caretaker for your furry family members! My son is 2 years old and will be accompanying me with drop ins and dog walking, he will be under my supervision at all time while providing animal care. I take full responsibility for my son while we care for your furry friends. He is comfortable around animals, we’ve had dogs and cats in our family since he was born! We live a very active lifestyle where we are always on the go. We go for walks and hikes a lot. We also enjoy swimming, and we always bring our fur baby along for the adventure. Pet care would fit perfectly with our schedule and lifestyle, with the love of being outdoors it’s so nice to share that time with our 4 legged friends! I do not have a fenced yard at my house, I always stay with my puppy weather on leads or ecollar. We have an electric fence but I ensure nothing can come into our yard(other animals, people etc). If we do not use the electric fence we use a long lead. At a clients home if they have a fenced yard I would still never leave an animal unattended, that’s just me personally. I would love to spend time with your pets outside, maybe we can play a little or if your fur babies just wanna soak up some sun and relax, I’m here for it all! If the client does not have a fenced yard I would use a long lead or regular leash and never leave the pup pup unattended. For safety both in my own home or clients I utilize a crate if necessary, and positive reinforcement for good behavior! I also have experience with muzzles and other tools(collars, leads, head leads, etc) Its not only about protecting me and others but to ensure the safety of the animal as well. I want to do what you need me to do to ensure the safety of your pets. I want peace of mind and communication for everyone! Don’t be afraid to advocate for your pet, let’s talk!

“Nothing but wonderful things to say about Brooke! She is such a sweetheart, knowledgeable about animals, reliable, talented… all of the above and more. She is exactly the kind of person I want to leave my fur baby with - attentive and loves them like her own! I had no worries while I was away and I’m confident that I’ve got a safe place for my pup to go the next time I need to travel.”

“Kembra was very nice to work with. She made sure to keep me updated throughout my trip, and sent pictures to show that Duke was having a good time. Only thing to know going in, is that her house seems to show up incorrectly on Google maps. I suggest getting with her before drop off to make sure you reach the correct house.”

“Morgan was a great host! My puppy was happy and she sent pictures. I will be a repeat customer!”
