“Tara always gives the best updates, lots of pictures, and takes such good care of my dog while I’m away. I never have to worry about him when she takes care of him.”


“I forgot to leave the key, so she came back later in the day to accommodate me. So awesome!”


“Booked Courtney at the very last minute for a 1 hr walk for the first time and she was able to accommodate and get my boys. They enjoyed their time and she cared enough to towel dry them after their walk as it was raining. Booked again for boarding and she was always informative, reached out with any questions to make sure she provided the best care and daily updates with pictures etc. she made sure they got comfortable being in a new space as well. Xoxo”

About: I know what it is like to worry about your pet while you are away so I treat every pet like my own and will update you with plenty of photos! I love dogs/cats and am very patient with them when they need it. I have had a dog for 9 years now and I occasionally pet sit for family/friends! I currently volunteer for Adopt Me Bluegrass and I participated in the “Check Me Out” Program several times at the Humane Society in Lexington (taking dogs out for the day to the park). I do work full time during the week but am available before work, for a mid-day check in, and after work as well! I also can take your dog for a walk at the park during the week after work or any time on the weekends! In your home, I will make sure to follow your pet’s routine with meals, walks, playtime, and anything else necessary. I will also keep your home clean!

About: I have experience fostering for the humane society. I have a German shepherd at home and used to own a Siberian husky. I have fostered both puppies and kittens I work from home full-time so I can give your pet plenty of potty breaks and give them a walk on my lunch if needed I have a fenced in yard that your dog can play in. I also live close to a park that we can go to. I have a friendly German shepherd who likes to play with other dogs. I will treat your pet like they are my own and let them make themselves at home.


“Alice is the best. Outstanding dog walker! Always goes the extra mile to make sure my pet is happy and well cared for! Very knowledgeable, reliable and conscientious and instantly informs you should there be a problem that you might not have noticed before. Would definitely highly recommend!”



“Annie was great with Chester. She was there and took great care of our little pup on his walking needs. We heartily recommend her if you’re looking for someone who loves pets and will keep you updated on their status. Can’t wait to use her again!”


About: Hi there! My name is Keri, and I'm excited to offer my services as a pet sitter through Rover. As someone with a passion for animal care, I'm thrilled to be able to use my skills and experience to help keep your furry friends happy and healthy while you're away. As a veterinary technician with experience working in spay and neuter clinics, I've gained a wealth of knowledge about animal health and behavior. I've worked with cats of every temperament and need level, I'm confident in my ability to care for your pets, no matter what their needs may be. I understand that medical care can be a source of stress for both pets and their owners, so I'll do everything I can to make the process as smooth and easy as possible. At home, I have four cats of my own who are my pride and joy. They're each unique and have their own personalities, so I know just how important it is to treat each animal as an individual. Whether your pet is shy and reserved or outgoing and energetic, I'll work to create a comfortable and safe environment that meets their needs. In my current role at the Kentucky Humane Society, I work to help the community with a variety of issues ranging from financial need for vet care or minor behavioral issues from their pets! Overall, I'm committed to providing the best possible care for your pets while you're away. I'll treat them as if they were my own and make sure they feel loved and cared for at all times. Thank you for considering me for your pet sitting needs, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends soon! My schedule is very flexible so I’m available nearly any day or time that is needed! I can make accommodations for any timed feedings/medications as well. For house sitting, I am unable to stay overnight but I am available for as long as you need during the daytime! My cats are indoor only, but because of this I emphasize that they get exercise through playtime everyday. We have special feeding mats to ensure they don’t eat too quickly or feel under stimulated, as well as low entry litter boxes throughout the apartment. Two of my cats are very anxious due to experience prior to adoption, so we try our very best to provide them with many hiding places and a calm environment. I would be more than willing to ensure the same level of care is provided for any of your animals, if not above and beyond this. I know the anxiety of leaving pets with someone, and would hope you could feel entirely secure in the experience with me!

About: My mom was a volunteer dog trainer with the humane society my entire childhood. As a result I’ve grown up around dogs and large dogs forever have my heart. I am very good at spotting body language and adapting to dogs as they need me too. I have also worked with quite a few senior dogs. I am currently back home after a congressionally funded fellowship in Germany. I am heading to law school in the fall and this job is my opportunity to spend time with dogs and make a bit of cash before I move to Chicago! I always aim to be as respectful and considerate of your dog and your space as possible. I treat your home as I would want mine to be treated as a guest. I try to leave no trace and make sure everything is as secure as it was when I got there!

“Morgan was phenomenal with Bubba and was so communicative! I can’t wait to use her again in the future!”

“Brittany is super flexible with my schedule and really tries to work with what I need. If something’s up with my pup, she makes sure to let me know immediately. My doggo loves walking with her! I highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Bethany, a fun, energetic 22-year-old dog lover from London. I’ve grown up with dogs, and my sweet Mowgli, a playful labradoodle, and I are always off on new adventures. I also have a family dog, Teddy, a miniature Australian labradoodle in London, and I’ve spent a lot of time helping him with his anxiety. I’m experienced in caring for anxious pups! Since moving to Louisville 4 years ago, I’ve been dog and cat sitting for friends and family. I’m attentive, follow detailed instructions, and ensure pets are well-fed, walked (if needed), and showered with attention. I also house-sit often and take pride in keeping everything just as the owners expect. I work full time but my schedule is super flexible. I typically work later 3pm- 8/10pm. But this can be changed based on the owners requirements. My dog is very food driven, can’t blame him, me too. But for this reason, I ensure that nothing edible is left out on counters etc. to make sure he doesn’t get into anything he’s not supposed to! We hang out all the time, go on leashed walks around the neighborhood, pup cup runs and he eats twice a day. I am an expert poop scooper.
