Cat was fantastic! She was so good with my cats and it was a huge weight off my shoulders getting her dozen of pics everyday from her visit with them. My cats, while happy to see me home, will definitely be missing her daily visits. Highly recommend, will be rebooking with her in the future!

Angelee was great! She is very communicative, she sent us photos and videos of Savannah while we were away. Savannah is not the easiest cat to get along with, and she might be moody when she’s alone. But Angelee took her time to establish a connection with Savannah, play with her favorite toys, and make sure she was cared for. Thank you so much, Angelee! ✨

Brittany has been amazing. My dog is super stubborn and timid and he wouldn’t go out, and then the next day he finally warmed up to her and he let her take him out. She sends pics, and great updates. Very thankful for her! Highly recommend

Ashtin & Jenison are awesome! This is my second time booking with them to watch my cat, Duchess. I always get lots of photos and Duchess looks very happy. They even brought in a laser toy for her! They helped me out with last minute requests and also with two extensions on my last visit. They are super friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat. i will definitely book with them again!

About: I’ve had my cat, Hank (or my son, as I like to call him), for almost 6 years now. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and from a young age I was trusted with walking, feeding, and even administering medication to our senior dog. I’ve also cared for bunnies and other exotic animals—so if you have any special friends at home who need some extra love, I’m happy to help! I’m currently a student at UK and working a remote part-time internship on a campaign. I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays after 12pm, Wednesdays through Fridays before 3pm and after 5pm, and I’m very flexible on weekends. Let me know your pet’s routines or any special needs and I’m happy to adjust! This includes things like medications, reactivity on walks/with strangers, or anything else you think is important. I know how stressful it can be to be away from your pet, so I will be sure to treat your pet as if they’re my own! :)

About: I have had dogs in my household since I was 9 years old. I care for my current dog, Clyde. I have experience with all breeds including pit bulls. I have experience giving basic meds(oral pills, eye and ear drops). No animal is too big or small for me. I enjoy drop in visits to be your furry family member and long walks and playtime as needed! I am currently a full time sophomore at UK. My schedule is flexible whether it’s for a 30 minute drop in or 15 minute walk. I can easily care for your pets in your home for visits, walks or overnight stays. Unable to care for pets in my home due to renting.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 16 years old and have experience with all kinds of pups. From young puppies to small breeds, and even dogs much bigger than me! Family and friends have always trusted me to feed, walk, and bathe their dogs, and I truly enjoy making sure every pup feels loved, safe, and cared for. I am currently a senior at the University of Kentucky taking online courses, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am available most days of the week at various times and would love to spend my time caring for and playing with your pups! Your pups safety and comfort are always my top priority. I am very attentive, reliable, and am always respectful of your home, making sure your dog is supervised, safe on walks, and given plenty of love and attention. I carefully follow all instructions, and make sure they feel calm and secure in their environment. You can always trust me to care of your pup, as I treat every dog like my own while keeping you updated so you have a peace of mind while you're away.

She gave me updates as to eating, snacking, etc. Alexus agreed to be available for another visit should we not get home at the planned time. All was good when we arrived. ReeCee was very happy.
