“We had Hannah house-sit our 7 year old cattle dog mix for a couple nights while we were out of town, and Hannah was great! Hannah sent photos and videos throughout the weekend of walks and playtime. Our dog loooooved her when they first met. Hannah was completely comfortable with our dog's leash aggression and asked about her triggers to make sure she was prepared. Hannah knew exactly how to walk dogs that struggle with leash aggression, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her hands. Hoping to rebook with Hannah again soon!”

“Dave was absolutely great and totally crucial to my happiness during my 2 week vacation. Not only is he punctual, reliable, and communicative, he is an animal lover. He loves the animals and they love him too. I got home to happy and healthy animals which is one of the best gifts I could have received. He consistently sent me photo updates of all my animals. He developed personal relationships with each of my 3 animals and knew their personality traits within a couple days. I will definitely be using him again. I very much recommend using Dave!”


About: Looking for an excited pet sitter with experience living with and caring for fur babies? Look no further! I have lived with and taken care of dogs for much of my life, and I have plenty of experience dog sitting for friends and family. I am able to stay overnight and accommodate any requests you may have for your fur baby - keeping them happy and healthy is the priority! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets during the day! I am available to be present constantly on weekends and after 4:30pm on weekdays, as well. Whatever your schedule, I would be happy to accommodate! I live in an apartment, so I am only able to care for pets in my home for short periods of time (an afternoon or so!). If there are needs in-home while I am pet sitting (any cleaning or house care), I would be happy to take care of that as well!

About: Hello! I am Haleigh, I have always had a love for animals and grew up around plenty. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets plus caring for friends and families over the years. I love taking daily walks and my job allows me to have down time to do so. I am also wanting to try pet sitting as I have done so in the past. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I am open to help in anyway with your fur baby and am excited to meet them. I work from home with a flexible job allowing me to have plenty of time for your pets! I also have availability on the weekends. I live in an apartment but it does have plenty of trails to walk. It is a dog friendly place. I don’t have any pets in the home currently so that could be helpful to pups that aren’t pet friendly.

About: I grew up with pets but once I moved to college in 2016 I started pet sitting often as a side gig and now I pet sit and house sit almost every other weekend for my friends who go out of town. —I’ve sat up to 3 dogs before -from pop ins to 10 day long house/pet sittings -from rescued dogs to puppies -pet sat cats too I work for a ministry on UK’s campus so I have flexible hours. I do not have any set days or times but am willing to pick up help when needed with enough notice! I do whatever is most comfortable for the owners! I crate when needed or snuggle them when they need it! I’m ready to take them on walks or let them run around outside!

“Hallie was AMAZING!! She took care of my baby like it was her own. I got lots of updates and she even took my dog out for a nice long walk, with permission. She did great with my dog who is known to be a bit anxious. I will definitely be using Hallie again for future dog sitting!! I couldn't recommend her enough!”


“Megan was wonderful and took such good care of our pets and home! We appreciated the regular update and photos and would recommend 100% recommend Megan for pet care and house sitting needs!”


About: I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding. Here I have learned how to bathe, nail trim, read body language, and deeply care about these furry friends. I work with all kinds of dogs, ranging in size/breed and age. I also have owned dogs my whole life, as have my friends, which I pet sit for frequently. My availability is fairly open. I can be more specific with the pet parents as we connect, in order to find something that works great for both of us. I do not offer services within my home, as I live in an apartment downtown. However I will follow any instructions given diligently. I have experience in reading dog's body language, which will give me insight into what I need to do and how to keep the pup safe.

About: I have taken care of dogs of many different breeds and sizes for a couple of years now. Family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets as well as look after their house if needed! I am currently a student, so when I am not in school I have time to walk or take care of a dog during most of the week! I have lots of experience watching animals in their own home. I keep the house tidy and even cleaner than when I arrived. I make sure the animal always has plenty of food, fitness, and any other care requirements the dog may need!

About: I grew up with dogs in my home throughout childhood, and was always the first to jump in on care and training. When i moved to college i became part of a program for training service dogs for children, in my time of doing this i successfully trained and fostered 5 service dogs for children that are now USA wide. After moving away from the program i obtained my own forever puppy named Tofu, who is trained in service work, obedience, and sports. I am trained in animal CPR and have experience giving medication and shots to dogs. I am currently a student and I work part time as well, I wake up early in the morning and will take my personal dog on a 2 mile walk before returning home and providing enrichment toys. After classes are up M-F i will return home for a 1 mile walk before heading to work. The latest I get off work is 9pm putting me home around 9:30, it’s at this time I will go to a large fenced in field and throw the ball for about an hour plus. On days I am off or do not have School i prioritize training and outdoor time. I currently am living in a one bedroom apartment with my own 60lb golden retriever, he is everybody’s best friend and a great role model for puppies. I have indoor cameras that allow me to see every inch of my home that he has access to when i am not in the home as well as any of your fur babies that i will be caring for. I also have 2 kennels (wired) with attached fans and water bowls for any crating that is necessary during the day. I am excellent about communication and provide regular updates and photos.

“Jade is an incredible dog sitter. She has stayed at our home with our dog multiple times over the last few years. She constantly updates us with cute pictures. We've never had any issues. We always come back to a clean home and our dog (who is very high energy and prone to anxiety) is always so relaxed and sweet when we return. She's done everything to coming in and letting him out during the day, to staying at our house for a week. Couldn't recommend Jade enough!”

Brooklyn B.
“Brooklyn has a natural connection with dogs and thrives in their company. She lights up when dogs are around and is always eager to engage with them, whether on walks, at the park, or just passing by in public. What sets her apart is her deep interest in each dog’s individual personality, she takes the time to observe and understand their unique behaviors, quirks, and needs. This allows her to build trust and communicate with them in a calm, comforting, and respectful way. Acts quick when chaos may occur. approaches every animal with a loving heart and a gentle hand. She’s not just a dog lover, she’s incredibly responsible, patient, and attentive, always making sure the dogs she cares for feel safe, seen, and happy.”
