“Tara was very knowledgeable and helpful with our first time using Rover and as first time new cat owners! She sent lots of pictures, was quick to communicate needs and updates, and was always available to respond when we had questions or other small requests. She made this process easy and gave us peace of mind. We will be booking with her in the future!”
“Erin did a great job, even picking up last minute with our 4 fur babies during Derby 🐎 week. Both dogs and cats were well taken care of, she even brought packages in for us. We received multiple daily photos along with the written updates and felt every thing was under control. Highly recommend, and hope to be able to use Erin again when the need arises.”
“Kumiko was the perfect sitter for my high-energy big dogs. They loved her! She took tons of photos and responded immediately to any of my messages. We will be looking for her again!”
“Racheal was great with our Sally and working with our changing needs. She made sure Sally was cared for and got her exercise. Will definitely call her when needed in the future.”
“Thank you for taking such thorough care of my two kitties! I appreciate the thorough visit summaries and pictures especially since one of my boys is diabetic. You made our trip worry free!”
“Really grateful to Makenzie for stopping by to take care of my fur babies. She kept in contact with me to let me know what was going on, wrote notes on everything she did and gave my babies attention and fed them while I was out of town. She was nice enough to do a meet and greet before I left so I could make sure my big dog would be alright and he immediately wanted her attention when she walked in my door. Will 100% book with her again!”
“I’ve been having Meilin do drop ins with my old puppet, Zoe, for 3 ish now and Meilin has been such a pleasure to work with! They communicate any issues or concerns about Zoe with me quickly and the couple times they were running later or earlier they let me know. I know Zoe can be a lot sometimes and I appreciate that I never had to worry about her when Meilin was watching her. I highly recommend booking Meilin for all your pet sitting needs especially if you have a senior doggo!! 💚”
“Olivia took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town! She was professional, prompt in communication, always on time, and a pleasure to interact with! We will book again and we highly recommend her!!”
About: Hi! I have one really sweet golden retriever, she is almost three! We love too take long walks and find different parks too play! I would love to get the opportunity to meet your fur baby/babies! Feel free to reach out with any questions 😊 I’m working part time currently! So I have tons of free time to provide the best pet care! I’m free a lot of weekends and every morning and afternoon throughout the week! I take safety and trust in the clients home as my number one! I want nothing more than to get too know and take care of your fur babies in the safest and happiest way possible!
About: I grew up on a farm and spent my summers living and caring for all types of animals from horses to chickens. I am working from home and looking to spend my lunch hour with animals and get some exercise walking neighborhood dogs! Ideally I would like to pet sit or dog walk during my lunch hour Monday - Friday but I am flexible as far as occasional weekend visits and different times of day. I care for every animal as my own and will spend time getting to know their individual personality. And my motto is to always leave someone’s home the same as or better than it was when I found it.
“Jessica has been wonderful! She has had many drop in visits with my puppy and is always on time/communicative. She does a great job with my puppy and is always professional. Highly reccomend.”
About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.
“We appreciate you so much! Emily genuinely cares about our dog’s welfare and health and will go out of her way to help and make him more comfortable. He is not the easiest pet, but despite his sometimes confusing behavior, Emily goes above and beyond to provide the highest level of care.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. With my childhood dog I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the wildness of new pups as well as the medication/diapers/aftercare needed when they grow old. I’m a little newer to cats, but both of my mine have been raised from kittens. My oldest will be turning 3 this year! I will be taking classes and working part time in the afternoons. I think my schedule works well for Rover because I am free in the mornings (until 12:30pm), I can check in from 3-4 if needed, then I am free anytime after 5:30! My two cats are escape artists, so I have gotten pretty good at hiding the opening in the door when I enter a room! For me personally, this is always my biggest concern when having people watch over my animals, so I want you to know that I’m very spatially aware when it comes to animals.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life. Our “kids” are spoiled rotten and we’d have it no other way. I’d love the opportunity to help take care of your babies. I’m available 7 days a week. I’m available seven days a week to help with your pets’ needs. Whether that’s a walk, a meal, or just some attention! Louisville, KY, area. I can provide whatever your pets need. Food, medicine, walk, etc. I’m available for check ins or walks. Please reach out any time to schedule!
About: I’ve loved dogs (and cats) since I can remember! I’ve taken care of dogs for about 3 years now, whether that be family, friends, and/or neighbors pets. I am a full time student at the University of Louisville but will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available during the week and some weekends. I keep my eyes on your fur baby at all times to ensure they’re not getting into any trouble and are safe. Will follow all instructions regarding your fur baby.
