“Incredible care for Oakley. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Phillip. They have Aussie experience and it made whole stay much easier. Oakley fit right in and I appreciated their flexibly on his food and exercises!”

“Grace was great. Having one dog with health issues we were comforted with her professional experience. We had some major personal complications (including the one dog having to be put to sleep) and she was willing to work through the issues that came up. Grace was very understanding of the situation, and had then had to deal with a now anxious dog who just lost her partner and had to go alone to someone she didn't know. Grace made her feel at home. We were very satisfied with Grace and her pet accommodations. We would definitely use her again.”

“Ebony was great with Eleanor and she seemed to have enjoyed the stay with how tired she was when she was picked up! Good with sending daily updates and would recommend Ebony and her family to all!”

“My senior dog was in such good hands. She gets anxious in new places, but she did so well the five days she stayed with Leah. And Leah sent me some of the cutest pictures I've ever seen of my dog, Apple. It warmed my heart to see Apple feeling so at home while we were out of the country. We don't have frequent dog sitting needs, but when we do, I'll definitely be asking Leah again!”

“Madison is wonderful and our girl had the best time from the pictures that were provided. Would happily (and plan to) have Madison watch our pup again.”

“Beth was so responsive and provided great detail into any message she sent regarding Ivan. I never once had to message her first to ask how he was doing. She made sure to send me lots of messages and lots of photos and I felt very comfortable leaving Ivan in her care. would highly recommend her I cannot say enough good things.”

“Stephanie was super responsive and sent me lots of pictures while I was gone over the holiday weekend. Piper was definitely so happy to be there and excited to meet all the other dogs. Stephanie even helped keep the other dogs away from her since she’s such a slow eater. We will definitely be back!!!”

“Ziggy seemed to have a great time with Jeremy & Laura! It was only a short stay, but Ziggy seemed happy in the pictures I received from them. I’ll look to use them again in the future to dogsit!”

About: I've had dogs (and cats) my whole life. I now have two dogs and just bought a house with a larger yard simply for them. If I could have even more dogs permanently, I would. Our dogs enjoy endless outdoor activity, freedom to move throughout the house, sleep in the same bed as us, and enjoy long walks thoughout the neighborhood. They're spoiled with new toys (for then to destroy) weekly, an abundance of treats and attention twenty four seven. Our dogs love other dogs and are intrigued but avoidant of cats. They love people. Love being outside. Love lounging on the couch or bed. They even have their own room to sleep in if they're not feeling like being in bed with us. Life if easy. I work full-time currently but with a lot of flexibility. My dogs are 12 and 9 and usually go out somewhere around 6:30am, 8:30am and then anytime they want after 5pm. I can make accommodations to have more outside time throughout the day if that is necessary for any potential sitters. Dogs have been my children for the last 15 years. I’ve had my dogs over a decade. They have control of the house, sleep on the bed, lounge on the couch, and have free range to snoop out the backyard. They go on daily walks around the neighborhood.
“Breanna is the best sitter! She always goes above and beyond for Bella. I can drop her off with Breanna know without a doubt that bella is not only in the best hands, but she is going to have a great vacation. If you are looking for a sitter that treats your fur baby like her own Breanna is the one!”

“Sharon is absolutely amazing! My boy is a very anxious boy and has severe separation anxiety. Sharon had him so comfortable and settled almost immediately. I am so grateful to her for the care and love she gave Salem while I was out of the country for two weeks. Sharon provided me multiple daily updates complete with adorable videos of Salem. Her dog, Wes, was the perfect buddy for Salem too! Her fenced-in yard is fantastic for doggies to sniff and play in. I was so nervous to leave my boy for so long, but having Sharon as his sitter truly made all my worries disappear. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when I had a flight delay. I cannot recommend Sharon (and Wesley!) enough!!”
“Josh ,again, did a wonderful job with our Tucker. He is very attentive to the dogs needs. Tucker wouldn’t eat( he has a no meat diet) & Josh let us know right away. We worked together to find a solution that worked. Tucker loves going to Josh’s while we are gone! That says a lot about the fun & card he gets!”

“Heather was the best! She sent me so many pictures and videos which made me feel assured that Charlie was well taken care of. And her dog, Remi, is so cute and sweet and playful.”

“Valerie was amazing with my dog. She gets extremely anxious and has bad separation anxiety and Valerie quickly made her feel right at home. When we came to pick her up, she didn’t get excited or pull on her leash to come to me, which is usually what she will do! I would definitely use Valerie again and so should you!!!”

“Peyton was so sweet and accommodating. I made a last minute reservation and she fit a drop off into her schedule. She sent several update photos and was very easy to communicate with.”

“Crystal is amazing! She made my family and our furry kid feel comfortable. She will provide lots of photos and her communication is top tier. She is now our go to sitter for Charlie. Thank you Crystal!!”

“My dog had such a great time at Kaitlin’s place, she was very welcoming and he loved his time there! Being new to Louisville, am super grateful to have found such a fantastic dog sitter here in Louisville!”
About: I've had my own dogs and a cat my whole life. Additionally I got my first horse at 12 and have been around large and unique animals forever (even pet deer and alpacas!) From my baby Miniature Pinscher to my Great Dane I am capable of providing individualized care. I am currently a student athlete at DSU. I ride on the equestrian team so after my one in person class I am typically in and out of the barn with lots of time to spare as everything else I do for school is online. Pet care fits into my routine as a priority. I recently moved to Dover for school, and miss my dog terribly. Prioritizing your dogs in my schedule is not just a job for me, but a source of happiness! We have a large backyard for fetch and a safe neighborhood for walks and adventures! One block over we have a small park area as well. We have no other animals in the house, just four college girls who are all missing our companions from home. In the house your dog can roam freely about and sleep in my room/bed with me, whatever they are comfortable with.
“Leslie took the best care of our pup, Rory. I was super nervous because she usually stays with family or friends, but after the initial meet up, I could tell that my dog would be in great company. While away, we received daily photos of her adventures and updates about how she was doing, so I know she had the best time and was well cared for. Leslie will be our first choice next time we need a pet sitter!”

Jaclyn was great with our dog. She was very kind to him and he warmed up to her right away. I felt comfortable leaving him in her care. Jaclyn also sent me several updates during his stay which I loved because I could tell he was at ease. I would definitely recommend her.

Breanna is the best sitter! She always goes above and beyond for Bella. I can drop her off with Breanna know without a doubt that bella is not only in the best hands, but she is going to have a great vacation. If you are looking for a sitter that treats your fur baby like her own Breanna is the one!

Max took absolutely wonderful care of Lizzy. We did a meet-and-greet before booking to ensure Lizzy would be comfortable with him and the other dog he regularly sits, which was great. He took great care of Lizzy - he loved her all week like she was his own. Would definitely recommend & will be keeping his info for booking in the future! Thanks again, Max!

It's difficult to leave your dogs for nearly two weeks, and with so many sitters to choose from it can be overwhelming trying to figure out the best person to leave them with. If that describes you, then look no farther. You will be hard pressed to find anyone who will love and care for your dogs more than William. Within minutes at our meet & greet, we knew that we wanted William to be our sitter. And our dogs and his dogs got along fabulously. We will definitely contact William the next time we need a sitter.

Myrna is the best. Let’s just go ahead and call her as Aunt Myrna. She definitely deserves 5🌟. She is so welcoming and made sure my pup was at home and comfortable and made sure Momma was comfortable. Sent all the updates without me ever having to ask. Wonderful experience for a super worried Momma.
