“Three sitters were all unavailable on the date/time I needed, so I tried Sofiya—she responded immediately (at 7am!) & on short notice agreed to walk Shelby that evening. She was prompt, followed directions, & did a great job. I’d book her again.”

About: I have always loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. I dog sit for a family friend anytime they need me. They continue to ask me to dog sit, so I would say that is a success. I will love your dog like they are one of my own. We will enjoy walks, play time and lots of cuddles. Our best friend is a vet so if any emergency situation should happen, we have an immediate resource. I am currently a stay at home mom so your pet would have lots of attention of activity throughout their stay with us. We have plenty of time and energy for walks and playing outside. Pets that come to our home will be treated like our own. They will get daily activity, walks and outside play. They can easily be crated if that's what they are used to.

About: I’ve got experience with pups of all personalities! From chihuahuas to pitties, I love them all. I have seen every episode of de Dog Whisperer, however I’m aware it doesn’t necessarily make me an expert in animal psychology. I’m physically fit and would love to walk and run around with your doggy companions! I have degrees in music (cello) and would be delighted to entertain your pets while you’re away. I also do weddings and parties, if you have one of those coming up. I have loads of experience with cats, as well. I’ve cared for diabetic cats and am very comfortable with injections. My only pet right now is my cat, Bert, who has special needs. All of his needs are met happily by me! If any of this sounds good to you, please give me a ring. I’m completely open for scheduling, so message me and we can set up a meeting! A history of the Swanson Family pets: Dagney (Husky mix), Brit (Britney spaniel), Gus (Boston Terrier), Joey & Franklin (cavalier King Charles spaniel), Moeby (Yorkie/Maltese), Henry (chihuahua/jack Russell), Gracie (catahoula leopard hound/pitbull), and Norman (Irish setter/retriever/chow). I also had a bird, Harpo, a hamster, Paul Daniel, and a cat, Lucy. I'm a musician and private teacher by trade. Right now I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to take on more pet care. My main priority is to maintain the safety of your pet. I'm happy to follow any routines of your household to maintain the comfortability of your pet.

“Janet came to the rescue on a very late request! Many TY's!!”


“Gabriella was wonderful! She made the whole process so easy and we loved the updates. Our pups loved her and the walks! 10/10 would recommend and use again!”


About: Our family currently has 8 pets ( 2 dogs, 4 cats, and 1 rabbits.) Inside our family unit pets are a responsibility of love we all take on. This has allowed my children to see the deeper side of what it takes to love an animal. Slowly gaining trust with each pet has become second nature to us. I Grew up my whole life with animals, but personally started caring for pets myself at 16 starting with a ferret. We have walked the road of behavioral issues to old aged pets as well. This year I started pet sitting and decided to continue that journey. Thanks for considering our family to care for your family while you're away. We are a homeschool family which allows our time to be extremely flexible. While we are busy, we are also the only ones dictating our time. So we manage time well and around the families we are helping. Obviously during summer school is out for us and the fun begins. At our home we have a fenced section and an electric fence for our pets that covers 4 acres. If your pet is trained on this type of fence he/she can run the whole yard. If they are not trained on electric fences they can run in our fenced in area attached to the back of our home. Inside that fenced in area is another fence around our unground pool. We are offering doggie swim & splash time in the inground pool. We will also have a baby pool they can jump in. We have 4 dog kennels in our air conditioned/ heated garage for boarding when they are not playing outside. Garage door will be kept shut and only a side locked door will be used to enter in and out of. I will also be getting dog first aid/CPR certified soon. Our vets office is 2 minutes down the road from us as well. I will also be cleaning the kennels between each dog with the same chemicals the vet uses to kill diseases and is safe for animals. Knowing your dogs temperament and personality will help us secure his/her safety and others. We have a questionnaire to help us get to know your pet and it’s needs.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was a kid. I have watched other breeds and know all the important aspects of caring for a dog! My family loves to adopt rescues so I am equipped for whatever the dog needs! I work part time during the morning-afternoon of some days of the week. I am available in the evenings! I am also available in the morning-afternoon on the days I do not work! My schedule is very flexible, I update and confirm my calendar daily. I provide ultimate care and support whether in my home or the client’s home. I cater to the dog’s needs and make sure they have all of the resources they need. I have had dogs since I was a child so I have many years of experience.

“We can not say enough good about Lindsey's care for our dogs while we were away. Loved the daily updates and pictures! We will be calling Lindsey for dog training in the near future. Thank you!!”


About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s basic puppy training or providing gentle support for older dogs, I focus on making every pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy! Pet care is a regular part of my life—I take care of my own 13-year-old dog every day, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and love. In addition to caring for my own dog, I often walk and look after other people’s dogs as well. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. With a flexible schedule this summer, I’m available and committed to giving every dog the attention and care they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always make sure their needs come first. I ensure they have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and get regular potty breaks. I love taking dogs on walks, spending time playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and happy in their environment. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving atmosphere so every pet feels right at home.

About: I've personally had dogs for over 20+ years. My pack has been as small as 1, but as large as 5. I've been active in rescue groups and truly feel like dogs are the answer for any sadness. I've recently lost my soul dog after a 2 year struggle with cancer. My heart isn't ready for another dog, so I am hoping I can still get my cuddles in and help people out in the meantime. I've become a pro at giving medicine, so if you need a midday dose giver, Im your gal! I'm a realtor, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can make most days or evenings work. Whatever your pup needs, I can make it happen! I follow orders, so I won't put your dog into a situation they aren't familiar with. I totally get all animals are different and respect how people work with their own.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for years and take pride in providing solid, reliable care. I started in kennels, went through a professional dog training school, and later worked at a protection dog company. I’ve also trained both pet dogs and police K9s down in Texas, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds and behaviors. I’ve even dabbled in dock diving and agility. Whether it’s structured walks or managing high-drive dogs, I’m confident handling just about anything. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, so your dog will have my full attention and flexibility. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-ins, and I treat each booking like a top priority. Since I’m not juggling another job, I can adjust to your schedule and make sure your dog gets consistent, dependable care every time. When caring for pets in someone’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I stick to your routine—feeding, potty breaks, meds, or reinforcing training cues—and make sure your dog feels safe and well cared for during each visit. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and you’ll always get a reliable update so you know how your pup is doing.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I have also volunteered with local shelters for many years. I am always thrilled when friends and family ask me to help out with their pets because dogs are the real happiness in the world. I have a very flexible schedule so I can offer my services at pretty much any point during the day. I have open availability throughout the week. I have a black lab/Great Pyrenees mix so I definitely love big dogs. My girl loves other dogs and we typically do walks around town at least 3 times per day. I try to keep both myself and my dog in decent shape so we can do as long a walk as she wants to do.

About: I have taken care and had animals in my home for around 19 years now. I absolutely love animals, I love taking care of them and playing with them on a daily basis. I am willing to take care of your pet in every single way possible.:) I work at target part time, so my schedule ranges from 7:30 AM in the morning to around three or four in the afternoon. I’m a big morning person, so I am able to get up earlier than my scheduled shift time and take care of animals. As well, I am able to take care of them after my shifts and even dedicate more of my time to them on my off days. unfortunately, my yard does not have a fence, however, we do have a pretty spacious backyard and I am able to keep an eye on them and play with them all throughout their outside experience.

“Elizabeth is very caring, tries really hard to get my shy, refused pitties approval. She communicates effectively and was very good about my extra needs as my boy is so reserved and Leary of new people. Will definitely use her again!”


About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire life both big and small. We currently have a medium dog who is a dream to walk, and a large dog who walks us but we love both just the same! We would love to host your fur baby at our house or drop in just to give them some love! We have 2 kids who have been raised around animals. Our normal attire is dog hair so we’re not afraid of some shedding. We haven’t been able to stretch our legs out in our bed in 10 years because no matter how comfy our dogs bed is they always end up on ours so we don’t mind if they are on our furniture or bed!

Kayla S.

“Kayla and I have been friends for about 6 years and neighbors for 1.5. When my husband and I adopted our dog, Luna, from Derby City Dog Rescue, most of our friends didnt have experience being around pitbulls and some were hesitant or curious about her. Kayla (and her husband Tyler) were so gentle and loving to her right off the bat and helped her feel safe and secure in our home. Whenever they come over, Kayla always makes a point to greet Luna on her level and give her lots of pets! She and Tyler have been the BEST dog-loving neighbors by feeding and/or letting our girl out if my husband and I are at work for several hours at a time. I believe dogs can read people and Luna (with plenty of reasons not to trust humans) trusts them. We take our dogs on walks together often - especially during the warmer months. I cannot recommend Kayla enough to be a fantastic dog sitter/walker for your furry family member. ”


Cecelia S.
“Cecelia was my main cat sitter for two years, and she was phenomenal! She seemed to nurture a relationship with my cat, Lainey. And Lainey really enjoyed their time together. Cecelia sent daily pictures and sometime videos to show that Lainey was having a good time and was well taken care of, which I really appreciated. If we still lived in the same area, I would have continued with Cecelia as Lainey's caretaker. She was so kind and loving with her, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their fur baby.”

She is not only reliable and responsible when it comes to leaving pups in her care, but she truly enjoys the time spent caring for them. I could not recommend her enough to care for your 4 legged family members!”


Morgan H.
“"We’ve used Morgan multiple times, and every experience has been wonderful! She’s incredibly caring, friendly, and consistent, always following any directions we give her. Whether your dogs are large or small, she handles them with ease and love. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter or dog walker, and she will always be our first choice when we need someone. You can trust that your pets are in great hands with her!"”

No matter how busy she is, she always takes the time to interact with the dogs she comes in contact with and make them feel special. Mindy takes amazing care of the dogs she is responsible for and would be a wonderful addition to Rover!”
