2. Magdalana M.
“Magdalana was everything I could have wished for in a petsitter: thorough, thoughtful, punctual, with excellent communication and — most of all — caring, loving visits with my buddy, documented with photos. Highly recommend!”
3. Tara S.
“Tara is awesome! She offered to do a meet and greet before our trip, provided detailed (and fun!) updates on our kitties, and was very communicative overall! We will definitely ask her to watch our girls again 😸”

6. Betty J.
About: Hi there! My name is Betty and I just moved to Louisville. I work in the film/entertainment industry as an actor, comedian, and crew worker. I work a lot from home. I have owned dogs for over 15 years. I have experience in owning dogs of many sizes from Pomeranians to pit bulls. I have always loved dogs and understand the importance of providing care for them while you work or are out of town. I currently have a 7.5 yr old neutered French Bulldog named Earl. He's a little goofy and loves other dogs. If your dog can handle my terrible jokes, we might just be a great fit. Care for the dogs will happen in my two bedroom town house. It faces a private grassy area but does not have a fence around it. The patio is gated, however. For this reason, large over active dogs may not be the best fit for drop offs, I'd hate for them to feel confined. I do plan to take the furry buddies on walks and have playtime. I own my own business as a photographer so I’m pretty flexible. Days at the dog park, walks in the neighborhood, an intense game of dog chess, (almost) whatever your dog needs, we can fit it in. Will return to answer this. Hey Rover! Your prompt block the question in the app so I can’t read what it says. I’m sorry! 🥲🥲🥲🥲
7. Jessica W.
About: I work from my Germantown home with my pittie and pittie mix, Fin and Baby Girl. I’m experienced handling dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. Looking forward to giving your dog(s) the same care, affection and attention I give my babies! **My 90-pound Pit has been through numerous training programs, even a boot camp. Despite all of my genuine effort, time and money, he is still a strong puller, chases squirrels with blood lust (he has caught and killed two in his 7 years), and will try to attack other dogs. All to say, your dogs’ leash aversion and triggers won’t bother me, and no judgement! I work a corporate schedule (M-F, 9-5) from home. Weekdays, I take breaks throughout the day and accommodate dog walks during breaks and after work. Walks in your neighborhood can be routed to any specifications you have. During inclement weather, quick potty breaks can be paired with inside play time.
8. Athena S.
“Athena was tremendous with my cat while I was gone for an extended trip. She took care of his needs and was very communicative. I would definitely book Athena for future cat-sitting needs.”
9. Breanna F.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Caboose! The pics were so cute and it looked like she had a great time :)”
10. Rhiannon H.
“Rhiannon is amazing! She has been so flexible, kind and easy to work with. We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. And our pups love her too!”
11. Kaitlyn C.
“Kaitlin is fantastic with my dogs. I always feel comfortable knowing that she is checking on them and caring for their needs when I am away. Thank You Kaitlin!! You are the best!!”
12. William W.
“William did a great job with my two cats! Communication was very good and easy, and my kitties seemed to really like him immediately! I will absolutely rebook.”
13. Sarah W.
“Sarah took care of my beagle Ruby, who got along well with her cats Clever and Hopper! I received plenty of pictures during my work trip, and always felt good knowing that Ruby was getting plenty of walks and playtime while I was away. Will definitely be repeating our visit!”
14. Jamianne P.
“Both of our cats love Jamianne, even our shy tiny cat. She was wonderful taking care of them and we will definitely be asking for her help in the future.”
15. Anna G.
“Superb.”
16. Becca R.
“Becca is very sweet , I have a shy separation anxiety girl named Lola and Becca works her butt off to make sure she feels better while I'm at work”
17. Emilia M.
“Best Sitter. I literally had to get her last minute and she was so quick to help. She treated my puppy so well and even cleaned up a mess we made. I recommend her to everyone as she goes above and beyond. Definitely will be reaching out to her again!”
18. Lara O.
About: I have been a dog mom for almost all of my life. I worked as a bather in grooming salons for a year and volunteered as a dogwalker for rescue shelters. I am currently working part-time as a freelance content writer. I have no pets at the moment so I have all the time in the world to care for your babies. I live in an apartment in the city where I can easily accommodate a small or medium-sized dog. I can care for your large dogs in your home.
19. Maddy R.
“Maddy was very attentive to Bobo - letting us know that he was not eating and drinking (anxiety most likely) - that way we could keep an eye out when we return. She communicated very well during the visits and was helpful when it came to Bobo.”
20. Valerie C.
“Valerie is an amazing pet sitter! She is responsible, accountable, and proactive! She has helped out on short notice and always reliable. She has been a huge asset over the years, but even more helpful recently as my pet has aged. She administers meds, takes pet out for regular bathroom breaks, gives lots of fur baby rubs, and even takes my dog on walks around the neighborhood! I would gladly recommend Valerie for any pet sitting needs. She loves animals and that is apparent in all of her interactions. My dog loves her dearly and wags her tail frantically as soon as she sees Valerie at the front door! Give Valerie a try! You will NOT be disappointed! Good Luck, Joy”
