“Ciara is so amazing!! She is there when she says she’ll be there and sends lots of pictures. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was taking care of our pups! Thank you!! We will definitively be booking with her again!”
About: I am the proud grandchild of a certified crazy pet lady. My grandmother had five cats and two dogs for most of my childhood, so I am well-versed in the patience and love it takes to care for your pets. I work part-time and am a full time student, but I have lots of availability on the weekends and during holidays to care for your pets. I also find myself out and about in the city all the time, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while exploring new neighborhoods. I know that your space is your own (and your pet’s, of course) and I will be sure to treat it with the care and respect that I would my own.
About: I have taken care of my families dogs and cat ever since I was 13. I have plenty of experience feeding, walking, and bathing pets! I am currently a student and work a part time job, so I am mainly available early in the morning or later in the evening. I have more availability on weekends! I currently live on an on campus apartment, but have plenty of outdoor space to take pets out. I can crate your pet if that's your preference and will give your pet plenty of love!

Big and small. I’m able to do the standard grooming for your animals and make sure they are clean. We have 4 animals here at the house and they all have their own uniqueness. With them you do so many diff things to make sure all animals feel included . Also with them being crazy always getting a mess it’s a lot of cleaning to do and looking out to make sure everyone is ok and healthy . Basically a lot of cleaning and looking out for them. They are pets but they are also like children We have a private wooden backyard fence for the animals to go out there and chill and play outisde without having to be on a leash. We also live next to parks and good walking places for if they want to go out walking and sniff around
About: I have always loved animals and been around them most of my life. I have taken a basic training course for dogs and previously owned them and currently own cats.

I've worked with senior dogs and know how to give meds. I would love to look after your sweet pet(s) when you are unable to. I work from home so I am able to work around your schedule to take care of your loved ones. I can do short distance travel as needed. I will follow all the clients directions on how they would like their pet cared for in their home. I am available for check-ins for any sort of animal you may have and dog walks. I love to spend time cuddling or giving scratches, playing fetch or chase, or just spending time so your fur baby isn't lonely.
“Athena was absolutely wonderful with Juno! She is so friendly and professional, and goes above and beyond. I forgot to leave my key for her and she came by my work to pick it up! Juno looked so happy when I got home, I could tell she had had a good day thanks to her walk.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. With my childhood dog I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the wildness of new pups as well as the medication/diapers/aftercare needed when they grow old. I’m a little newer to cats, but both of my mine have been raised from kittens. My oldest will be turning 3 this year! I will be taking classes and working part time in the afternoons. I think my schedule works well for Rover because I am free in the mornings (until 12:30pm), I can check in from 3-4 if needed, then I am free anytime after 5:30! My two cats are escape artists, so I have gotten pretty good at hiding the opening in the door when I enter a room! For me personally, this is always my biggest concern when having people watch over my animals, so I want you to know that I’m very spatially aware when it comes to animals.
“Jessica was great! She was so considerate of our first time using rover for dog walking and made sure we felt comfortable! Our pup was well taken care of in our absence”
About: I grew up on a farm and spent my summers living and caring for all types of animals from horses to chickens. I am working from home and looking to spend my lunch hour with animals and get some exercise walking neighborhood dogs! Ideally I would like to pet sit or dog walk during my lunch hour Monday - Friday but I am flexible as far as occasional weekend visits and different times of day. I care for every animal as my own and will spend time getting to know their individual personality. And my motto is to always leave someone’s home the same as or better than it was when I found it.
“I started using Maggie for weekly walks for my baby when I first moved here a couple years ago & she is the best. I normally get anxious when someone else is watching her but I don’t feel that way at all when she’s with her. Maggie is confident, knowledgeable, and accountable.”
“Chakra’s first week with Amber has been awesome. It’s been really great for him to have a midday pickup and walk. I can truly see a difference in his temperament.”
About: My wife and I have been married over 20 years and 17 of those have been with multiple dogs in our house. We are dog-less at the moment, but would love to give your dog the love we have all of ours for so many years. I work full time from home and my wife is a professor, so we have a lot of time at home. Our son is 2, and absolutely adores dogs Whatever the owner needs us to do for the dog, we are happy to. Snuggles, walks, potty and regular feeding schedule is always on the docket
About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.
About: I’ve always had an especially loving touch with animals, I’ve got 3 cute cats at home that I help care for and I’ve been professionally cat and dog sitting/walking for a while! Being an avid animal lover, I’ve worked with the Humane Society as a volunteer when I was younger and that’s given me foundational experience caring for all kinds of furry friends, mainly dogs and cats. Any pet of yours will be loved on, cuddled and cared for with me looking after them! In addition to my pet care, my main profession is as a freelance artist so I’m working from home or from coffee shops most days of the week, I’m available any weekday or weekend! *PLEASE NOTE* •Meet and greet fee: $30 (up to 1hr) •House sits 30+ mins out: +$5/day (For reference, I am based downtown Louisville) (Both rates accommodate time and gas rates) •Let me know if meet/greet fee is an issue, I can accommodate The safety and comfort of your fur baby is my number one priority, I will make sure to follow all special instructions you have regarding caretaking, feeding, and interactions with other pets!
“Christina was absolutely wonderful! I trusted her from the minute we met. She was so sweet and I could tell she loved animals. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our Fender! We hope to have you come again sometime!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I have 2 large super friendly dogs whom I’m obsessed with! It’s their world, I’m just living in it ;) I am a teacher no longer on summer break, so my availability is now mostly weekends. I work for JCPS, so have no issue traveling across the bridge. Available on the weekends, but can discuss week days. I have 2 very friendly dogs that will keep yours company. I will treat your baby like they are my own. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I never let mine out on their own. I have a rescue that I always take out on a leash, because I do not trust him to stay with me. I will also always keep yours on a leash. We go on a long walk in the mornings and evenings, with many potty breaks/short walks throughout the day.

“I’ve let Anamaria care for my pets a couple times and all I can say is I will be letting her care for them again! Her and my baby Gracie got along so well it was like they were true friends. Gracie can be very finicky with new people but she warmed right up. My other dog Benny was even wining when Ana left. She has a very gentle and calming touch with animals and is very trustworthy, if you’re looking for a new pet walker or overnight sitter, let her know! Thanks Ana for everything 🖤”
