“Sarah was absolutely amazing taking care of Penny for the day. Penny was so comfortable with her and Sarah was very calm and relaxed in her approach. Thank you so much Sarah”


About: Animals have always been the light of my life! I grew up with dogs as a kid, a Cairn Terrier and a giant baby Doberman. Caring for them has always felt second nature to me. My love for dogs grew even deeper when I moved to Maui and helped co-parent three-spirited French bulldogs. I took on everything—walks on the beach, feeding, bathing, playtime, extra cuddles and yes, even listening to their adorable snores at night! Beyond my own crew, I've cared for many friends' dogs while they traveled, handling everything from short daily visits to multi-week stays. I know how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, and in their routines while you’re away. Clients tell me their dogs warm up to me quickly, sensing my calm, affectionate approach. I treat every animal like family, because that’s what they are. If you want someone who genuinely loves caring for dogs, pays attention to their individual needs, and provides reliable, thoughtful service, I'm your person! I just recently moved to Louisville from Michigan. I’m still settling into my new home, which means my schedule is pretty open right now for dog walking and sitting. I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus on your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks or longer stays. I must say about my repeated clients as some may notice, I’ve had plenty ask me but unfortunately had already been moving to Kentucky or chose a longer term booking over a night booking from a repeated client. Your dog’s well-being is my absolute priority. I aim to create a fun, secure environment where your dog(s) feels at ease and cared for! I keep a close eye on them at all times and make sure they're safe, and comfortable whether we're relaxing at home or out for a walk. I’m committed to giving them the exercise and play time that they need —I'm always ready for a long game of fetch to tire them out! ( I have an A+ in throwing balls for dogs who are obsessed) I want every pet in my care to feel happy, loved, and completely at home.

“Erin was fantastic! She spent a lot of time playing and snuggling with my kitty. She communicated really well and managed his medicines like a pro. I'll definitely be booking with her the next time I'm out of town.”


“Ciara was awesome. I felt comfortable overseas knowing Freya was in good hands. Ciara took care of everything and even developed a bond with Freya. I'd be excited to use Ciara again in the future.”



“Michael was an excellent dog sitter. He was reliable and professional. He utilized the features of the app to keep us updated on our dog daily including photos. I would definitely recommend his services to others and look forward to using him again in the future.”


“Allison is top notch! I am not easily trusting with my girls and she blew it out of the park. She has great communication during her visit(s) and sends plenty of photos, alongside notes.”


“Maggie is very kind, knowledgeable, and respectful toward animals (and humans!) She gave excellent care to our two kitties and truly went above and beyond with their care. She checked in, sent updates. and pictures everyday, which were much appreciated. I felt very calm knowing she was there while we’ve been away. Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”


“It was wonderful to have Katelyn take care of our pups on the most anxiety provoking day of the year for dogs, 4th of July. Katelyn put us our worries at ease with her communication and photos. She clearly loves animals and has a gift for making them feel safe and loved.”


“Rachael was great with our dog Ruthie while we were away. We had a friend staying with her for the week but Rachael helped out with mid day breaks while he was at work. She sent pics every day which made us feel so much better. Would definitely recommend Rachael for your pet sitting needs!”


“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!! 💚”


“Keely was great and did amazing with Ruby. This was just a drop in for her to get to know her for future jobs. Keely was very thorough in asking what her needs are and making sure she was prepared. Looking forward to having her watch Ruby in the future.”


“Once again, Betsy took such wonderful care of our two cats for a week. It is so nice to see them enjoying her visits while we are away, and it's fantastic to trust them with a caring, responsible, dependable lover of animals when we can't be there ourselves. Thank you for giving our O Bros so much love, Betsy!”


“She was excellent. Needed her services due to another walker having to cancel during a current contract. She helped out immediately which was a huge relief. I would recommend her!”

“Sam was fantastic. She was able to capture a photo of my most skittish kitten eating which made my trip MUCH easier (she will often not eat when I’m away). The cats litter was well taken care of.”


About: I have personally owned dogs for almost my entire life, and have been caring for other people's animals by myself since I was in middle school. I love dogs (and cats!) but being in newer teacher and my future uncertain, I cannot get a dog myself yet. I joined Rover to help people look after their pups, and get some time to hang out with dogs myself! I am professional, timely, and care a lot about the comfort and happiness of your pets! I am young and active, so I am happy to run/walk with dogs, but also enjoy down time on the couch with them. I have cared for a range of ages, from elderly to puppy, and a range of breeds. Most importantly, I have never met a dog I didn't like! Please note, I work from 7-3 on weekdays during the school year while I am completely available over the weekends and over most holidays and summer time! For pups who need more frequent potty breaks on weekday, I am unfortunately not your girl I am very kind and easy-going with pets. I also will treat your home as if it was my own and leave it clean if not cleaner than when you left. Available for light cleaning services, if wanted
