“Really grateful to Makenzie for stopping by to take care of my fur babies. She kept in contact with me to let me know what was going on, wrote notes on everything she did and gave my babies attention and fed them while I was out of town. She was nice enough to do a meet and greet before I left so I could make sure my big dog would be alright and he immediately wanted her attention when she walked in my door. Will 100% book with her again!”


“Tracy helped us with a last minute out of town trip. She came to meet us and our two dogs the morning we left, and she took great care of our two dogs while we were gone. Tracy is trustworthy, responsive, and we will definitely be using her again soon!”

I came home to Piper being so happy, it’s like she didn’t miss us at all! I have great comfort in knowing I can give you a call next time I leave town.”


“Jessica has been wonderful! She has had many drop in visits with my puppy and is always on time/communicative. She does a great job with my puppy and is always professional. Highly reccomend.”


About: I’ve loved dogs (and cats) since I can remember! I’ve taken care of dogs for about 3 years now, whether that be family, friends, and/or neighbors pets. I am a full time student at the University of Louisville but will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available during the week and some weekends. I keep my eyes on your fur baby at all times to ensure they’re not getting into any trouble and are safe. Will follow all instructions regarding your fur baby.

“Valerie was absolutely phenomenal. She helped out when I was in a last minute pitch, and couldn’t have been nicer and easier to communicate with even with my last minute request and with delayed responses on my end due to traveling. She also took the sweetest pictures of my two pups and took wonderful notes about what they did while she was with them. Couldn’t be happier, thank you Valerie! I would recommend this sitter to anyone :)”


About: I've taken care of my neighbors' pets ever since I was 10 years old. I am trusted to feed, enrich, and walk pets without issues. I am available 7 days a week! Please rest assured that your furry friends and felines are well cared for while you're out and about! I walk, feed, play with, and otherwise engage your pet in activities that allow them to be healthy and happy. I can also stop by briefly if your pet just needs to be fed or watered.

About: I grew up in a house with a dog and cats. Since I was young, I have helped out family, friends, and neighbors with pet care. I have done everything from drop ins for socializing cats to watching 4 big dogs (and some birds) for a week! For many years, I had several families who counted on me to watch their animals while they were on vacations. I don’t have any pets of my own, so I would be so happy to give your animals some love and care! I can offer transparent and frequent communication, as desired, about how your pet is doing (+ pics of course!) I currently work standard 9-5 on weekday. I am happy to provide more attentive care evenings and weekends! Outside of work hours, I can commit to around the clock attention as needed :) My apartment is animal safe and provides plenty of space for cats and small/medium dogs. I have a courtyard area, but it is not fenced in. I also in a great area for walking and close to a park.

Peyton G.
“Peyton is an amazing pet caregiver. For years she has watched my family’s pets as we have travelled. This has included care of an elderly golden retriever with hip problems, and the addition of hyper puppies who require frequent bathroom breaks and attention. She has handled all of their needs wonderfully and gives them not only the pet care they need such as feeding, walking, giving medications and letting outside to go to the bathroom; but she also gives them affection and love during our times away. She is incredibly responsible in her personal life and as a pet owner and loves every animal like her own.”
