About: I have been around animals my whole life and am passionate about caring for pets of all kinds! I truly believe pets are family and I know how hard it can be to leave your babies home, that is why I am dedicated to providing quality, exceptional care and tons of loving to your furbabies to help you feel as at ease as possible. I promise to go above and beyond to ensue your pets are happy & content during their staycation! I have 5 furbabies of my own: 2 pups, 1 kitty, and 2 free roam bunnies! They are my whole world. I am also one of the founders of a 501c3 cat rescue and am passionate about saving the lives of animals in need! I can provide medication administration and am comfortable caring for pets with special needs as well as seniors and anxious/fearful babies. I will take my time earning their trust and love to build positive relationships with all of the animals I care for. I don't mind getting my hands dirty to clean up any accidents either. Your babies come first and I can't wait to get to meet them! I am currently working part time and will have lots of extra time to spend with your babies! My schedule does change each week so my availability will vary depending on the day. The safety and comfort of your furbabies is my number 1 priority! I will take as much time as they need getting to know them and earning their trust, so that they will be as happy as possible while you are away. My care will be tailored to your pets and their routines to help them feel as at ease as possible. I also love to keep parents updated and have a passion for photography, so I'll be sure to send you cute pics and videos of your babies!
“Natural animal person! Saved us on short notice. Flexible & understanding!”
About: I've been working with dogs since I was 9 years old. It started at a summer camp located at my local shelter and at home with our own dogs. At 18 I helped foster 2-week-old kittens that were born in our front yard and abandoned by their mom. I have worked with many different dogs and have been house sitting since I was 16 years old with different types of dogs and different care levels, from needing to give elderly dogs medication to hyper puppies who need lots of play time. I fit in Pet care into my daily routine by waking up at a specific time every morning to take care my own dog out for a morning potty break, then it is breakfast time, then an hour after is a morning walk, after I have lunch is a shorter afternoon walk and before dinner is an evening walk, with several potty breaks scattered reasonably every 3 hours to make sure. Sometimes I take my own dog on small hikes or to the dog park to get some more socialization in. Outside of my hobbies and schooling pet care is my life. This does depend on what I am hired for, if I am hired for potty breaks and play time then I do just that, I arrive at the home, let the dog out to go potty, take a walk play with some toys. If I am housesitting, then I follow the schedule the owners have their dogs on as to not disrupt the dog's stability.
“I'm about to ask for Victoria again!”
“Bekka was so helpful by taking on our pet sitting needs when we were under a tight deadline. She came early to take time to get to know the pets and was snuggling with them in no time. We highly recommend her.”
About: Got my first dog af age 10, an English Bulldog named Buster. Around 13 I got my second dog, a poodle mix named Tucker. Been employees to take care of several other breeds by family and friends! I do online school from home and work occasional 3 hour shifts! Will usually always be home with your pets and if not I have backup to take them potty while I’m gone! I have two very friendly dogs that love to play! I also have a private upstairs if your pet likes to be alone. I’m also willing to stay with them in the comfort of their own home!
About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and seasoned seniors. As a full-time sitter, your dog will get my full attention with frequent walks, fun adventures, and plenty of love and playtime in my yard. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and right at home—because when they’re with me, they’re part of the family. As someone who stays home full-time and only works a few days a week, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to give each pet personalized attention—whether that means morning walks, medication schedules, playtime in the yard, or just cozy companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone or on a tight schedule—they’ll be part of a calm, loving home where their needs come first. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your pet’s familiar environment to reduce stress. I stick to their usual schedule, including meals, medications, and playtime, while providing companionship and supervision. Whether at your home or mine, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.
About: As someone who has cherished animals my entire life, I know firsthand how much your furriest family member(s) mean to you—and how essential it is to find someone who will care for them with the same love and devotion you do. I also understand the stress that can come with entrusting their care to someone else. That’s why I’m committed to working closely with you to provide tailored care, companionship, and clear communication, ensuring both you and your pet feel safe, happy, and at peace. I bring experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful youngsters to wise seniors—along with expertise in administering medications and supporting animals with special needs. Whether I’m dropping in, house-sitting, taking your pup for a walk or checking in on another fur baby, I’ll treat your little one like family. You can count on me for regular updates and photos, while your pet enjoys playtime, gentle massages, and plenty of cuddles—everything I’d want for my own. Note: I’m no longer able to offer boarding services. One of my own sweet boys is getting up in years—he’s a little more fragile, and a little less patient than he once was, and I worry that boarding a stranger would cause him a lot of unnecessary stress. I work from home — this allows me some flexibility and the ability to customize my breaks and lunch based on the needs of my clients. When caring for pets in the home of my clients, it’s important to remember that the little one that I’m caring for is likely stressed because their mom and/or dad are gone, and there is a stranger (me) in their home. With that in mind, I typically spend more time with them than what is required by Rover because they need the extra time to feel comfortable with me. I take time to try to get to know them and help them feel more at ease. I treat them with the same amount of compassion I want for my own!
“Melissa helped us out last minute with house and dog sitting. She was responsive, communicative, and very reliable. She kept us updated throughout her stay with pictures and details. We came home to a happy dog and a watered garden. We really appreciated her services and highly recommend!”
“Isabella is a fantastic sitter! She loves the boys and they love her. She’s a great communicator and gives me updates, which I love! She will also go the extra mile when one doesn’t feel so great! So glad we found her!”
About: Hello, my name is Shannan. I have experience with caring for dogs in clients’ houses. For note, I am Deaf and I use my fluent language, American Sign Language, for communication writing the paper or texting the phone. Usually, when I dog sit I stay at the dog’s house when the dog’s parents go on vacation or are gone for long weekends. I care for the dog, make sure they get fed, and are loved. We go outside and play, relax and go for walks around the neighborhood or at a park. I love to go for walks and get fresh air. I will inform you, how your dog is to make sure okay and send the photos as you need. Text me only and I will look forward to talk to you. I am free for any day of the week. I currently working at Gabe’s in Lexington, for 6 hours a day and it has been different every week. I can come in Lexington, Richmond, and Berea. I will clean dishes, taking out the trash (if needed), and sweeping the floor before clients return home. Also, I always make sure to fill the water in the bowl for a dog before I leave.
About: I have 3 of my own dogs so I know how to bathe, walk and how much attention they require. I also work in the health care industry so I am very patient and caring for other. I will treat your Animals like I would want others to treat mine! I am in school but I would be able to go in between classes or any other activities I do during the day to insure the animals are taken care of. At home, I have a fenced yard but I also take them on walks around the neighborhood. I enjoy playing with them outside or inside and making sure they are feed and watered regularly.
“Elena was wonderful to work with! My dog tends to be nervous around new people but Coraline warmed up to Elena immediately”
About: I’m going into my 5th year in the pet caring field. I have been a reliable and trustworthy sitter for friends, family, and colleagues. I also have my own fur baby for over a year now! I’m currently working full time as I finish my last year at EKU! I have a flexible and open schedule that allows me to care for almost anyone’s pet needs! This is a side gig that allows me to broaden my experience as I anticipate to graduate. I live in a beautiful neighborhood that allows for long walks and multiple dog parks less than a mile away! I also have one furry friend to keep them company as well. Please let me know what I can do to make your pets feel at home!
About: I have cared for my own dogs and cats for over 40 years. I have not done this professionally, other than helping out friends and families while on vacation. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet and home is cared for while you are away. If there are gatherings I am usually the one hanging out with the dogs/cats and keeping them at ease when there are a bunch of people around. I am available early mornings and late afternoons and evenings and most weekends I am available any hours...but I have some flexibility to meet other needs. In our yard I try to train them to stay in the yard. I have done leash yard training but typically let them run around. When had a fence yard I typically left my dogs out as much as possible.

6. Amy R.
“Amy is an amazing pet sitter and I would trust her with my babies any time! When she watched my 3 dogs and 2 cats who all have different needs she carefully followed all of my instructions to care for them, asked questions to clarify things where needed, and learned all of their quirks. Each of my dogs responds better to different things: one is food motivated, one is praise motivated, and one is toy motivated and she remembered which was which and interacted with them accordingly. She even figured out how to coax my two anxious, picky eaters to eat their food while I was out of town!! It's evident in everything that she does that she cares so so much about all the fur babies and loves them quite thoroughly.”

“Kayden has watched my dog before and did a great job - she’s super caring, gentle, and a very responsible person. She loves animals and is a great candidate to be a caretaker.”
12. Keyara H.
“Keyara has been an incredible caregiver for my dog, Luna, and I can’t say enough about how thankful I am for her. From the moment they met, Luna took to her instantly — which says a lot, since she’s usually shy around new people. Keyara quickly learned Luna’s routine, from her favorite walking paths to how she likes her food prepared, and always made sure she felt comfortable, safe, and loved. She sent regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my furry family member!”
