Dog Walkers in Wilmore, KY

“My senior dog was very well taken care of during our absence. I loved receiving daily updates and pictures so I wouldn’t miss him so much! Thank you for taking care of him while we were gone.”

About: We are experienced in taking care of small and large breed dogs. We love to walk them and care for each client’s pet as our own. We have been a pet owners for over 20 yrs and also help take care or family and friends pets when they are gone. We love caring for dogs. My wife works weekends and I work through the week. Someone is home all day. We are gone for church and kids activities in the evenings and Sunday morning. We have 4 kids ages 7-17 that love helping with the dogs. Your dog will get plenty of attention while boarding here. We have a small puggle who is 5. My daily personal pet care routine consists of 2 meals and water daily. 1-2 mile walks. Toby gets a treat after he goes potty. We let him out in the fenced backyard every 3-4 hours or when he goes to the door. He also likes to lay on the deck and sunbath. We love and treat each client’s pet as it was our very own. We love to care for dogs and have a special connection with them. We are patient and kind and take time to learn each pets routine and behaviors. We can’t wait to get to know your dog and care for them!

“Kim is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Kim and asked if she could walk my two dogs for a couple of days. Kim kindly replied to me quickly and was very accommodating to my last minute request. She treated my dogs with so much love and care. She made sure to refill their water, give them a few treats and sent me some adorable pictures of them where they looked so happy! She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!”

About: Hi! I'm Audrey! I'm currently a stay at home mama, so my schedule is very flexible! I am happy to do a meet and greet with you & your fur baby before we get scheduled, please reach out if you have questions! I can't wait to talk to you! More about me: I grew up in a home with dogs from the time that I was a baby - I can't ever remember a time in my life where I didn't have a fur baby. I was first rescued by my dog, Kiah, when I was 13 years old. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 dog friendly cats (though these kitties stay in separate rooms away from the areas your animals would be). If you have an animal that needs shots, medications, or any special needs - I'm the girl for you; I have personal experience with my own animals that have needed shots, medicines, etc. For dog walking: I'm a stay at home mama so I have plenty of time during the day to stop in to see your baby! I can do anywhere between 15 minute walks to 60 minute walks. For doggy daycare or boarding: Still a stay at home mom - ha! This means I am home most of the day unless I am taking other pups on walks. My husband also works from home so there is someone here a majority of the time, unless we are going grocery shopping that weekend! We also have three dog loving teens! Our dogs spend a lot of time playing in the backyard and resting snuggled up on our couches. For dog walking: I love being outside - so spending quality time with your baby on a walk is important to me! I always make sure to have water accessible for your baby before/after a walk as well. On our walks, I'll make sure to have bags to pick up any bathroom needs as well! For doggy daycare & boarding: We are home a majority of the time, when we aren't home we always prefer to crate dogs that are crate trained that way they are able to stay safe! If they aren't, we are happy to work with you & see what you do with your baby when you're gone. We never leave two dogs that aren't familiar with each other alone in the same room either!

About: I've had at least four dogs as long as I can remember. As a child, they were my first companions and my second caretakers. Even as I grew into an adult, they were always there to comfort me and to brighten the darkest of days. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I am eager to give back what they so willingly give; love, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and joy. In the last two years, I have gone from four dogs to one, due to Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure, and I must admit that their absence has affected me deeply. I miss them so so so much!! I'm one of those people that celebrated their dog's birthdays and bought them copious presents for Christmas. While my friends were pulling out their family pics, I was always pulling out my dog pics. I share this same sentiment towards birds, rabbits, and cats; all of which I had growing up. Being surrounded by animals as a child was a great experience. It even prompted me to volunteer at the ASPCA for almost a year. As I hope you can tell, I will not only provide what your pet needs to survive, but I will also provide him/her with special attention and love. I look forward to meeting with both you and your pet! Until then, take care! I will be able to fulfill any house/pet sitting duties without any issues, as I am able to balance my obligations responsibly and with respect to myself and those that hire me. While pet/house sitting, I will abide the rules given to me. This could include when they play, where they sleep, any medications needed, when to eat, etc.

About: Apart from my good aura & energy, cats are drawn to my respectful boundaries & patience to let them come to me when they are ready. I have been cat sitting for so long that I am familiar with several types of litter boxes, toys, foods & signs. "My cat has never warmed up so fast to anyone" remains a common phrase throughout my entire life. I wake up and let my parents dog out, clean the litter box for their cats & then feed the fish in case my mother forgot. I also feed the dog in the afternoon (mom does morning) & the cats as well. Any help that is needed along with vet visits, fall on me since I am home more than anyone. I make sure that I am aware of any hiding spots in other peoples homes for cats so that I can check on them constantly even if it just means checking that they are still in the same spot. Cats, depending on playfulness, need attention & proper care. I make sure I set alarms or reminders if they need medication or special care from the owners. Watching tv, reading a book or cleaning are my favorite past times while I cat sit. If I need to be home all day with them, then I will entertain myself easily.

About: Hi, I’m Esther! I’m a college student who has been on Rover for over a year. Most of my experience is with younger dogs but I love taking care of seniors too. I currently don’t have any pups so I pet-sit to stay active and continue being around animals. I am a student with a lot of mid day and weekend availability. I’m very flexible, especially on holidays and during school breaks. I have a lot of experience house sitting as well and I love overnight visits. When leaving your pets with me, they’ll be treated as my own. I believe in open and transparent communication so I’ll provide lots of updates. I have skills in leash training, crate training, and grooming. I would love to keep your pet company! For safety on house sitting appointments, I plan on meeting clients and their pups before providing services to make sure we’re a good fit.

“Katey took great care of Sam on his afternoon walk—he was exhausted! Tired pup=happy pup and we’re looking forward to more walks with Katey. Thanks!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years now. My parents are Rover sitters and we have taken care of several different dogs. I have been exposed to all different breeds and ages. I have also given animals their medication. I am always free during the summer. I can walk your dog, check on your cats or anything else that you need. Just let me know. I would go to your home as many times a day as needed and stay the night if preferred. I can put your dog in its crate or let them sleep in bed with me. I am very accommodating to the needs of your pet.

About: I am a dog mom of two! They are my world, but I have never met an animal I didn’t like!! Small or big they are all special and need love!! I work as a caregiver in the evenings Monday through Thursday 3:30-10 and Friday 3:30-8. So I am available all other hours of the day. I also have the flexibility if I must to make a quick stop by during working hours if I need. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs who love making new friends and having play dates! I believe that the house is there home and they are welcome to sleep and lay on the couches and beds!!

About: I am a pet owner myself . Also,I have taken care of other family members and friends’ animals . I enjoy the interaction between myself and them. I am a stay at home mother of two who has extra time to spare for pet sitting and I love helping owners in their time of need by taking care of their animals. I live in a house with a fence in yard . As a pet owner myself, I know the responsibilities of taking care of animals and I know they’re not just a pet, they are apart of our family.

About: Observing and addressing subtle changes in a dog's behavior. Providing mentally stimulating activities like playtime, puzzle feeders, and appropriate socialization opportunities. Being flexible with scheduling and accommodating special requests. Promptly responding to inquiries, addressing concerns, and building a positive relationship with clients. Creating individual routines for each dog based on their dietary needs, exercise requirements. Regularly sending updates, photos, and videos to owners to keep them informed about their dog's well-being. I've done it all! Animals are a passion of mine! I'm a mama to 2 dogs and 1 cat! Their spoiled at their core! Let me spoil your pet too! Tuesdays are my only day of the week im not available. The rest of the week is open to work around my routine. Thank you I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play and run. I have two pups to keep your pup company. I have a safety fence in my house as well if your needing your pet separated from mine. Your pets safety is my upmost concern! I will keep your pet active by playing outside with them.

About: I’ve been training my dogs as well as my friends dogs. I’m the type of person who goes to a gathering and if there is a dog I hang with the dog. I work 3-4 hours a day in the from 9-1 so I have plenty of availability. I am free most weekends as well as most evenings. I have two other dogs who have are great with other dogs and have helped me train other dogs as well. I have fostered for the local Humane Society in the past as well. I love playing with my dogs and taking them for walks.

About: I’ve taken care of the pets practically my whole life. I’ve dog-sat for family and friends overnight and walked animals on a regular basis. I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats at home that I loved taking care of! I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats! I have pretty open availability, please reach out for specific days and times. I can check in on them, and I’m open to staying overnight for pets that need a little more care, so you can enjoy a trip stress free :) I have two cats, so it’s usually best for me to go to you. If you would like them to be fed at specific times, or have access to food their entire stay then I am more than happy to accommodate that. Additionally, if your pet needs to use the bathroom more often than every 4 hours just let me know. Any specific instructions to keep your pet safe, like opening the door cautiously or putting on their leash a certain way, I will complete to the best of my ability! Also, if they require medication that is something we can discuss :)

“Hannah does an outstanding job! Will definitely use her again!”

About: I was born into an animal-loving family and I have continued to instill this love for animals in my own children. I have had a menagerie of animals all of my life. At the young age of 12, I started walking the neighbors' dogs and going to their houses when they were out of town to feed, water, and walk their pets. In college, I worked part-time in several different veterinary clinics. I am still very well connected to the veterinary world so if I am unsure of something involving my pets, I am able to reach out to get an answer pretty quickly. Over my lifetime of 40 yrs. I have had at least 20 dogs, 10 cats, several rabbits, horses, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a few reptiles (but no snakes). In my full-time job, I have a hybrid work schedule. Some days I am in the office and some days I work from home. This allows some flexibility when caring for fur babies. My family also helps care for our "animal guests". It is a group effort! I have a 1/2 acre that is fenced. I have 3 dogs- a Newfoundland, Black Lab, and a Beagle. All of my dogs are rescues. I know that I rescued them but as cheesy as it sounds, most days I feel like they rescued me. Each of them has their own personality, which I love. My dogs are usually always by my side when I am home. My dogs love to jump on the bed or couch and get snuggles. I also have 3 cats. All of them found us. They were all dumped on us and of course, I couldn't turn them away. :) I would treat your animals the same way I treat mine- with love and snuggles.

“Mikayla has been/is exactly what we needed for our furkids! She obviously cares about what she does and takes her job seriously, in the same way I would. We have a large Newfoundland and she handles her perfectly! Moreover, she handles the environment perfectly, too. Since our dog is a big, furry Newfoundland, many people want to let her, interact with her, etc. However, since she is still a puppy, and a 100 lb puppy, she still can excited and occasionally jump, etc. While these are getting far less frequent, it still is a possibility and one I'm very aware of when it comes to other people. Twice now, Mikayla has told me about strangers approaching her wanting to pet our Newfoundland and Mikayla handled it perfectly. Right now, for several reasons, I prefer strange people, particularly, strange children, not interact with her on a walk. (Not only for obvious reasons, but I want to get her CGC and we want her to ignore things like that.). Dealing with people, I think, requires as much, if not more, ability when caring for pets as does the pet care itself. Mikayla has both skills in abundance and we couldn't be happier!”
