Jenesis did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Millie. Jenesis was very prompt in responding to my texts and answered all my questions. I had no hesitations about leaving Millie in her care. Jenesis sent me really nice pictures of Millie several times during her stay, and honestly they are better pictures than the ones I take, lol. I would highly recommend Jenesis for any pet sitting that you need! She is thoughtful, caring and professional.

Jo is amazing!! She took both Hadley and CeeCee for the long weekend and they were very well taken care of. CeeCee is a little old lady who is very fearful and needy and she looked happy, well fed, well rested and loved in all of the pictures Jo sent! Hadley absolutely loves Jo and Cricket and he also came home happy!

Beth did a great job taking care of Remy while I was on vacation. She devotes her time (it seems) exclusively to the dog she's sitting for. I felt confident leaving Remy with her while gone.

During my trip, Bella kept me posted about Coffee’s walks and her integration with Bella’s family and the other dogs. Coffee looked very happy and clearly enjoyed spending time with her new buddies, walking and sniffing around the property. Thank you, Bella, for providing such excellent care for my Coffee!

Rebekah was so wonderful with our puppy. She asked us what we needed her to do with him in terms of feeding, sleeping, and potty breaks and then went above and beyond that by making sure he had more than enough outside time, playing with other dogs, and working on training him to sit, stay, lay etc. She also kept us very updated on how our puppy was doing. If we could give Rebekah more stars than five, we would!

My boy was well taken care of, he was happy and communication was consistent (something I highly appreciated) They took him on walks, played with him and gave him lots of love. We totally recommend her!

We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

I would 1000% recommend her to anyone in the area! She sent lots of update photos of Kai sleeping, playing and being goofy. Her dogs were so welcoming and Kai loved playing with her 1.5 year old pup. Kai was sad to leave! If you are nervous about leaving your pet with someone, trust Natasha! Thank you so much for a great boarding experience.

About: I have cared for many pets of friends and family members over the years. Sadly, I had to put my own dog down this fall (13yo Boxer named Neeco) and am looking to get my pup fix through volunteering at the SPCA and pet-sitting/walking, as I am not quite ready to take on another dog just yet. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, but I especially love senior doggos. I currently work part-time as an RN and make my own schedule, so am very flexible in that regard. Available for boarding most weekends Friday-Monday. My yard is unfenced but on a very private road with low traffic. Lots of trails and streams to explore if that is something your fur baby would enjoy! If not, we have a large deck and screened in porch for outdoor lounging, and big comfy couch by the fireplace for them to relax.

About: My name is Misty and I would love to help you care for your pets. I live in Maysville and will travel to surrounding areas. I grew up in a family that bred and trained Golden Retrievers and Chocolate Labrador Retrievers to duck hunt. I have also leash-broken hounds, German Shepherds, and Siberian Huskies. The leashes I use are gentle-leaders. I do not use any other form of leashes as I use the pack leader training method. I reward pets with positive reinforcement and do not punish animals. I’m a disabled veteran so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I do crate training at my home and I have a 1 acre yard with a creek. Your fur babies will be happy and protected with me.

About: I’ve taken care of every type of animal out there; cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, birds, etc. I also foster cats and have 11 of my own plus 5 dogs who all love cats. I’m a veterinary medicine student who is wanting to spend some time with some other pets out there! I’m currently a full time student, so I have no time restraints. I’m all for last minute arrangements, as my mother is a very last minute person haha. I’m always down to come hang out with some furry friends and keep them for a sleepover if needed! I have five dogs of my own, all of which do very well with cats and other dogs. I also have 11 cats who roam free in my house, but it’s just my mother and I living in a four story home, so I’m very fortunate to have the extra space! I also have a fenced in back yard and plenty of extra bedrooms to keep kitties if they may feel overwhelmed.

I highly recommend Darian to take care of your pets! I needed someone reliable, and on very short notice, to take care of my precious skittish cat for three weeks. Darian did a wonderful job tending to all my cat's needs, and she accomplished the amazing by quickly getting my suspicious, standoffish cat to allow her to pet her! Darian also went the extra mile of cleaning up the floor several times when my cat coughed up hairballs and had other tummy issues. Darian had not taken care of my pet before, but she stepped in like a pro and took care of her, and kept tabs on my house as well. As I said at first, I highly recommend Darian for your pet!

About: I’m a firm believer that the Egyptians got it right with cat royalty. I’ve grown up with cats all my life, and I currently own a black and orange duo Salem and Eddie (short for every famous ginger named Edward). I’m not shy to cleaning litter boxes or cats who barely tolerate people, like us, every pet has their own personality and I appreciate a good cattitude!

About: What sets me apart is the warm, lively family environment I provide. As a mom of two, my home is already focused on care, routine, and patience. I am a stay at home mom of 2 school aged children, so my availability is unlimited. I will be there for you and your pet whenever you need me. I approach pet care with a focus on safety, comfort, and meeting each pet’s specific needs, whether they are in my own home or a client’s. Daily Care & Routine Feeding & Hydration: I provide meals at the correct times and in the right portions, following the owner’s or pet’s dietary needs. Fresh water is always available. Exercise & Play: Dogs get regular walks and play sessions; cats and other pets receive interactive play, puzzle toys, and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Grooming: I brush fur, clean ears, and trim nails as needed to maintain hygiene and a healthy coat. Health Monitoring: I watch for changes in appetite, behavior, or physical condition and report any concerns to the owner or recommend a vet if necessary. Safe & Comfortable Environment I create a secure, hazard-free space with designated resting areas, pet gates, and soft bedding. I keep the living area clean, regularly cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and maintaining tidiness. For client homes, I check for safety hazards, secure gates, and ensure all pet access points are safe. Enrichment & Socialization I provide a variety of toys, scratching posts, and chew items to encourage natural behaviors. I spend quality time with pets through play, cuddling, and talking to build trust and reduce stress. I may reinforce basic training or good behavior during care. Communication & Consistency I follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to maintain routine and reduce anxiety. For client pets, I give regular updates via text, photos, or video to keep owners informed and reassured. I honor any specific instructions the owner has for care, feeding, or behavior. Special Considerations If I specialize in senior pet care, I provide gentle handling, extra attention, and a calm environment to support their comfort. For boarding or day care, I maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming space with plenty of social interaction. By combining consistent routines, attentive care, and a safe, pet-friendly environment, I ensure pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, whether they are in my home or a client’s.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I genuinely love being around pets and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, outdoor playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having calm companionship, I’m happy to match their needs and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention and affection they deserve. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel happy, relaxed, and cared for like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have a more flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship to the pets I care for. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and love making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m available throughout the day and always aim to provide pets with a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m very attentive when it comes to following feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, crate schedules, and any extra instructions or preferences owners may have outside of basic care needs. In my own home, I make sure pets have plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and opportunities to feel relaxed and comfortable. I also keep multiple leash sizes available to safely accommodate different dogs and walking needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines while making sure pets receive consistent care, affection, exercise, and companionship. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. There isn't a time I can remember not having dogs around my entire childhood. So, I went into a dog-centered field. I am certified as dog obedience trainer, and have worked with my parents senior Westie. I am currently staying at home, so I have a lot of time. My husband works five days a week, and I would love to have a job. Usually Monday through Thursday are good, nine to three. I am hoping to eventually be able to board dogs overnight. I love dogs. They are usually all so friendly once they know you, and I enjoy loving on them. You can rest assured I will do everything, within reason, that I can do to keep a dog safe and healthy.

I am a stay at home mom of 2 school aged children, so my availability is unlimited. I will be there for you and your pet whenever you need me. I approach pet care with a focus on safety, comfort, and meeting each pet’s specific needs, whether they are in my own home or a client’s. Daily Care & Routine Feeding & Hydration: I provide meals at the correct times and in the right portions, following the owner’s or pet’s dietary needs. Fresh water is always available. Exercise & Play: Dogs get regular walks and play sessions; cats and other pets receive interactive play, puzzle toys, and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Grooming: I brush fur, clean ears, and trim nails as needed to maintain hygiene and a healthy coat. Health Monitoring: I watch for changes in appetite, behavior, or physical condition and report any concerns to the owner or recommend a vet if necessary. Safe & Comfortable Environment I create a secure, hazard-free space with designated resting areas, pet gates, and soft bedding. I keep the living area clean, regularly cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste, and maintaining tidiness. For client homes, I check for safety hazards, secure gates, and ensure all pet access points are safe. Enrichment & Socialization I provide a variety of toys, scratching posts, and chew items to encourage natural behaviors. I spend quality time with pets through play, cuddling, and talking to build trust and reduce stress. I may reinforce basic training or good behavior during care. Communication & Consistency I follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to maintain routine and reduce anxiety. For client pets, I give regular updates via text, photos, or video to keep owners informed and reassured. I honor any specific instructions the owner has for care, feeding, or behavior. Special Considerations If I specialize in senior pet care, I provide gentle handling, extra attention, and a calm environment to support their comfort. For boarding or day care, I maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming space with plenty of social interaction. By combining consistent routines, attentive care, and a safe, pet-friendly environment, I ensure pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, whether they are in my home or a client’s.

Jenesis did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Millie. Jenesis was very prompt in responding to my texts and answered all my questions. I had no hesitations about leaving Millie in her care. Jenesis sent me really nice pictures of Millie several times during her stay, and honestly they are better pictures than the ones I take, lol. I would highly recommend Jenesis for any pet sitting that you need! She is thoughtful, caring and professional.

Beth did a great job taking care of Remy while I was on vacation. She devotes her time (it seems) exclusively to the dog she's sitting for. I felt confident leaving Remy with her while gone.

Anatoliy took great care of my dog while I was out of town, and was willing to do so on very short know notice. I appreciated her flexibility. She a great fenced in yard with plenty of space for energetic dogs to burn their energy. Would recommend to anyone.

During my trip, Bella kept me posted about Coffee’s walks and her integration with Bella’s family and the other dogs. Coffee looked very happy and clearly enjoyed spending time with her new buddies, walking and sniffing around the property. Thank you, Bella, for providing such excellent care for my Coffee!

Rebekah was so wonderful with our puppy. She asked us what we needed her to do with him in terms of feeding, sleeping, and potty breaks and then went above and beyond that by making sure he had more than enough outside time, playing with other dogs, and working on training him to sit, stay, lay etc. She also kept us very updated on how our puppy was doing. If we could give Rebekah more stars than five, we would!

Miss Valley had an amazing time with Diane and her family. She enjoyed nice walks with her kids and seemed as though she really enjoyed her time with Diane. Diane communicated daily on how she was doing and sent photos as well. I will definitely be rebooking with Diane again!

Kara and her family were amazing with my husky! They had him for 5 days while we were out of town and I have nothing but great things to say about them. My boy was well taken care of, he was happy and communication was consistent (something I highly appreciated) They took him on walks, played with him and gave him lots of love. We totally recommend her!

Jonathan met me at the door right on time and Bronco was welcomed by his dogs and they took off to the fully fenced in back yard and he fit right in. He was well taken care of and right on time for pick up. Highly recommend.

We are extremely pleased with the care Hailey provided for my dog, Milo. She was attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cared about his well-being. Milo seemed happy and well-looked after when I picked him up. Hailey kept us updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. The place was clean, and Milo had plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend Hailey for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Natasha was absolutely amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my pup with anyone and she made everything from the initial messages to the pickup a dream experience! I would 1000% recommend her to anyone in the area! She sent lots of update photos of Kai sleeping, playing and being goofy. Her dogs were so welcoming and Kai loved playing with her 1.5 year old pup. Kai was sad to leave! If you are nervous about leaving your pet with someone, trust Natasha! Thank you so much for a great boarding experience.

About: I have cared for many pets of friends and family members over the years. Sadly, I had to put my own dog down this fall (13yo Boxer named Neeco) and am looking to get my pup fix through volunteering at the SPCA and pet-sitting/walking, as I am not quite ready to take on another dog just yet. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, but I especially love senior doggos. I currently work part-time as an RN and make my own schedule, so am very flexible in that regard. Available for boarding most weekends Friday-Monday. My yard is unfenced but on a very private road with low traffic. Lots of trails and streams to explore if that is something your fur baby would enjoy! If not, we have a large deck and screened in porch for outdoor lounging, and big comfy couch by the fireplace for them to relax.

About: My name is Misty and I would love to help you care for your pets. I live in Maysville and will travel to surrounding areas. I grew up in a family that bred and trained Golden Retrievers and Chocolate Labrador Retrievers to duck hunt. I have also leash-broken hounds, German Shepherds, and Siberian Huskies. The leashes I use are gentle-leaders. I do not use any other form of leashes as I use the pack leader training method. I reward pets with positive reinforcement and do not punish animals. I’m a disabled veteran so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. I love spending time with dogs and cats. I do crate training at my home and I have a 1 acre yard with a creek. Your fur babies will be happy and protected with me.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as dog sitting for family members. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’m available anytime on Fridays and weekends since I’m off work those days. Monday through Thursday, I’m available for evening visits and later times as needed. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In my home, dogs are always supervised. While my yard is not fenced, I take dogs out on a leash only to ensure their safety at all times. I never leave pets unattended outside. Inside, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I have a sweet, friendly golden retriever puppy who is well-socialized and gentle. All interactions are closely monitored to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. If a dog prefers space or separate time, I fully respect that. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully. I make sure pets are secure, doors and gates are checked, and I provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
