“Lauran was understanding and affectionate with my granddogs , working very well both with the elderly dog and the younger strong-minded one. She was flexible to come when most needed. Lauran is mature, experienced, and able to handle the dogs easily, keeping them safe and happy. I look forward to having her care for the dogs again. She made it possible for me to care for the dogs and they love her.”

“Sam is just an amazing person and she takes great care of my dog Bucky, when she walks him...he can be a challenge but she is so sweet and patient with him, and he loves her to bits. He gets so excited when she comes, and not only does she do a great job on the walks with him, but she goes the extra mile in other ways and is a kind and caring lady that just brings a bit of sunshine in when she comes. I do recommend her, she is wonderful.”

About: I have grown up around animals and have experience with elderly dogs and very anxious cats specifically. My two childhood puppies grew up and I helped assist with their needs, such as medicine and helping them walk around with patience. I also understand what it’s like to have a very anxious cat— mine is too. I have one cat, a fish, and a snail of my own now! I’m currently building my health coaching clientele working from home. I take frequent breaks to walk at the park and often spend the majority of the day working on various tasks at home. I’m very flexible with my schedule right now! Since I have an anxious and non-sociable cat of my own at home I will be more open to visits such as drop-in’s and taking fur babies out on walks at the park right now!

“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: What truly sets me apart is my nine years of comprehensive, hands-on experience caring for my family's pets, consistently since 2016. My reliable background is further proven by my time dog sitting and walking for several friends, demonstrating comfort and expertise with pets outside my own home. I'm proficient in managing both large and small breeds, having cared for a Pitbull and a Yorkie, giving me confidence with all energy and handling needs. My experience also extends to cats. I rescued a cat that I found on the street, which highlights my patience and skill in providing gentle care for nervous or shy animals. I am reliable, versatile, and deeply committed to recognizing and meeting the individual needs of both dogs and cats. Pet care fits easily into my current schedule, ensuring your pets receive focused attention without being rushed. I work part-time as a Paraoptometric Technician and dedicate other free time to volunteering, but I intentionally keep large, consistent blocks open for pet care. My reliable availability includes Tuesday afternoons, Thursday mornings and afternoons, and full availability on weekends. This structure guarantees I can provide reliable, high-quality care, whether your pet needs a mid-day walk, or regular drop-in visits. My main goal is to create a stress-free and loving experience for your pet right in their familiar environment. When I care for your dog or cat, I focus entirely on their comfort and routine. I'm meticulous about following your exact instructions for feeding, medication, and walks, making sure their schedule feels perfectly normal. I also know that security is important, so you can trust me to be mindful of your home while I provide care. I'm skilled at providing gentle companionship—like I do for my own rescue cat—which is especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. You can count on me for excellent care, a tidy pet area, and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how happy they are!

“Highly recommended! Always on schedule, great communication, sweet and gentle personality. Absolutely wonderful with dogs with high anxiety.”

About: I’ve owned a dog all of my adult life. I can’t imagine life without having to pick up dog poop daily. :) I was able to crate/potty train our puppy in less than a week! I’m also able to help train with basic commands. Your furry, cuddly love bug will be in good hands. I am a stay at home mom, so I am free anytime to let your fur babies out, take them for a walk, replenish their food and water and give extra cuddles while you’re away. I have a 5 and 3 year old who love our dog. They are very gentle with their furry sibling. Your pet will feel safe and have another furry playmate to play with. I can send pictures once a day so you don’t have to miss your baby too much.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and I have been pet/house sitting for about 10 years. I have always had pets and been around all different kinds of animals. I just graduated from law school, I started my new job post law school. I do work in an office, but I am able to stop in and make sure your animal is taken care of. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of a pet at your home. I am happy to walk a dog on a leash, let them out to play, play with them, take them to a dog park.

About: With 10+ years of hands-on dog sitting experience, I provide reliable in-home and overnight care. I’m experienced with administering medications, handling different energy levels, and maintaining structured routines. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and dogs a calm, comfortable experience. I work remotely, so I’m home during the day and able to supervise dogs closely. This makes me a great fit for puppies, seniors, or dogs who need extra attention. Weekend availability is wide open, and weekday bookings are accepted as my schedule allows. I provide a safe, structured home environment with a secure fenced yard. My two Golden Retrievers are extremely friendly, well-trained, and experienced around other dogs. I supervise all play, separate dogs when needed, and follow each owner’s feeding and safety guidelines closely. Clear communication and photo updates are always included.

About: I have experience with both young and older pets. With puppies and kittens, I stay consistent with routines and can help reinforce basic training like potty habits, feeding schedules, and positive behavior. For senior pets, I’m gentle and attentive to their needs, whether that means giving medication, moving at a slower pace, or just providing extra comfort and companionship. I also make sure pet owners feel at ease by keeping communication open—I can send updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, and I’m consistent with routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra visits, longer walks, or special care. I’m reliable and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and kept on their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions, give fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of exercise and attention. I also provide playtime, affection, and calm companionship so they feel at ease while you’re away. I keep the space clean and always respect the client’s home just like it’s my own.

About: Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded with pets and been given the opportunity to care for dogs numerous times. I am very patient with animals and genuinely find joy spending my time with them. After recently graduating from college and moving into a studio apartment, it has been an adjustment not being surrounded by pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to not only help others, but also to find fulfillment spending time with pets. Although I work a 9-5, I am willing to make plenty of time before or after work to accommodate your needs. I am a morning person, so I would be more than happy to take your dog on an early morning walk or be there to let them out. I also will be able to take care of them in the afternoon. My weekends are free to help at any time. You can trust me with your pet because I treat animals with the same amount of respect that I’d treat any person. It is my priority to ensure their safety while also having fun. I would love to take them on walks at the park and am open to having them at my apartment if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats as well as other animals since I was 5. As an animal lover, my family brought in many dogs and cats into our home and I was responsible for taking care and feeding them. I love all animals. I have taken care of a large sized husky/German Sheparad mix to a smaller Boston terrier. I love all dogs as well as cats!! I have 2 cats (Benji & Ash) that are spoiled with toys and love 24/7! I am always excited to meet new pets and would love to help you when you need it! I just moved to Louisville and I have a remote job where I work from home majority of the time! Rover will allow me to continue my savings for graduate school as well as getting myself outdoors and discovering more of the city! Overall, I wanted to be apart of a company that lets me be around animals and help pet parents around! I love to care for all animals and have flexibility to do so! I am very disciplined to instructions and can be flexible with any service requests! I will ask any questions I have after reading the instructions you provide. I have 2 cats at my house that can keep your pet company if they love cats! I can see your pet’s needs and be able to help in any way that I can!

“Winnie looked like she was loving her walk! Oliver responded really quickly to requests, was quite communicative and I loved the photos! (I hav a hard time getting good ones of her.) Thanks, Oliver!”

About: I have pet sat on and off for years with family, staying over and learning specific routines of each animal. Each animals expects different things! I'm also highly active and flexible so if you have an energetic furry friend, we'd get along great! I am part-time employed and a online college student. My availability will be extremely flexible due to that! My times will vary across every two weeks when I receive my work schedule. Pets in my clients home will be treated exactly as they are used to, if that means walks on a leash or letting them out to roam their fenced yard then that's exactly what we will do. My goal is to keep your loved ones comfortable and that means following their routines, not mine.
