Kathy
Pet Sitter / Dog Walker
Hi! I’m Kathy and I am happy & excited to be a part of Waggs 2 Whiskers. I retired from teaching not long ago and was looking for something to do in my “spare” time and was fortunate to discover this opportunity to work with Kelly. I have always loved having pets and have long considered them part of the family!!!
Rachel
Pet Sitter / Resident Cat Whisperer
Hi Pet Parents!
I started out as a client of Waggs 2 Whiskers myself several years ago, and I’m so excited to now be a part of the Waggs 2 Whiskers team! Getting to work with animals is truly my dream job. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, and now have a furry cat family of 5. Ensuring animals are comfortable and well cared for is very important to me, and gaining a shy pet’s trust is hugely rewarding for me. In addition to their standard care and needs I also make sure to keep your pet’s emotional wellbeing in mind during visits.
Becky
Pet Sitter
​Hi! I am Becky and I feel like I have found my dream jobs working with animals. One year ago I left the healthcare industry (over 26 years in Lexington), got married and moved to Bagdad on a 5 acre farm and started rescuing animals. I was blessed to find a part-time job as a mobile veterinary assistant with Pawfessional mobile vet. I also do seasonal work at Gallrein farm.
Tiffany
Office Assistant & Pet Sitter
Hi there! My name is Tiffany and I am an Office Assistant and Pet Sitter for Waggs 2 Whiskers. I grew up in Michigan, which is where I met my husband, Devin. We moved to Kentucky in 2017 and have loved it here since. I started working for W2W in 2018 while also working for Ford. I took a break from pet sitting for a while, because life got crazy busy. But, after having my sweet baby boy, Dawson, I decided to slow down, and take the opportunity to stay at home with him. It was so scary to leave my job at Ford, so I reached out to Kelly to see if she had anything I could do. Thankfully, she did!
Tara
Overnight Sitter
My name is Tara, I grew up in Michigan and moved to Kentucky in 2003. I live in Simpsonville with my husband and two children. Throughout my childhood my family always had a dog(s) around. Now that I have my own family I wanted to make sure that my kids experienced the joy and responsibility of having a pet(s) around.
Katie
Pet Sitter / Overnight Sitter
Hello! I am Katie. I am so excited to be a part of the Waggs team. I also started as a client. I loved how my Eddie was treated, but the messages and pictures made it so much better. After he passed I knew I wanted to do something with animals but wasn’t ready for one of our own. I drive a school bus during the day and between routes get to love on some furry friends.
Mattie
Pet Sitter / Farm Sitter / Overnight Sitter
Hi! My name is Mattie, and I am so excited to be part of the Waggs 2 Whiskers team! I have been an animal lover since birth! I grew up being taught to respect nature and all animals by both my parents. I am experienced with everything from reptiles, fish, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and more!

Hope
Pet Sitter / Overnight Sitter
Hi, my name is Hope and I’m so grateful to be joining the Waggs 2 Whiskers Team. I retired from a career with the Commonwealth of Kentucky and starting a new chapter with what I’m most passionate about, animals. I grew up on different farms in Kentucky and I’m truly happiest when with dogs, cats, goats, ferrets, rabbits, horses (you get the picture).
Kate
Pet Sitter / Overnight Sitter
Hi! I'm Kate! I have a big place in my heart for all living things, and that means plants as well as animals! I spend much of my free time gardening, tending to my house plants, and exploring the many hiking trails across our beautiful state. It is a life goal of mine to visit every national park. I'm currently at 21!
Pet Sitter / Overnight Sitter
Hi! I'm Kayla. My love for animals started at a young age. When I was born my parents had a cocker spaniel named Little Buddy that became just that, my buddy. I am an only child so after he passed when I was 6, my home felt so lonely. A couple months later I went to a family reunion in Glasgow Kentucky where I met my soul dog, Chocolate.
Lissa
Overnight Sitter / Pet Sitter
Hi! I am Lissa and I’m very excited to join the Waggs 2 Whiskers team! I have been an animal lover my entire life and currently have a husky named Hopper and 7 cats. As a pet owner I understand how important it is to have a pet sitter who cares as much about your pet as you do. I find taking care of animals to be rewarding and I always enjoy making new fur friends!
Caitlyn
Overnight Sitter
Hi! My name is Caitlyn and I am so excited to be apart of the Waggs 2 Whiskers team!
I am a Louisville native and recently graduated college from Asbury University in May 2022. Along with my love for animals I have a love for helping others and work as a physical therapy technician for people with spinal cord injuries! My dream job is to work in healthcare as a physical therapist and work with animals on the side. I have loved animals ever since I can remember and grew up having a variety of different fur babies. Growing up in a family of avid animal lovers has taught me the belief that animals are not just pets but family and I can’t wait to show your fur babies that same type of love.
Kristin
Pet Sitter / Farm Sitter
Hi my name is Kristin and I am so excited to take care of all your animal needs!
I have a large collection of my own animals including ducks, geese, dogs, cats, pigs, llamas, goats and horses! Despite the hard work it takes to care for and love animals I am happiest surrounded by furry and feathered creatures. Being around animals gives me a sense of peace and calm and I am looking forward to meeting and taking care of your crew through Waggs 2 Whiskers!
