About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.
“I am so thankful to have found Melody. My dog, Opal, took to her right away, and she LOVES being over there for daycare and overnight stays. The times are super flexible, and I’m thankful to have someone that loves my dog as much as I do! I get pictures and videos on how Opal is doing throughout the day. Definitely the best dog sitter in Lex!”

“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”

“Stella looks forward to her stays with Andrew's family and Cosmo. I appreciate their time taking care of Stella when we can't. Peace of mind, for sure. Communication and feedback has been great! We are looking forward to our next stay!”

“Our puppy had a wonderful time staying with Ana and her dog, Mia. Ana was an excellent sitter very accommodating, communicative, and easy to work with. We felt completely at ease and would happily book with her again.”

“Jennifer was very responsive to all my communications and a pleasure to deal with. My dog seemed well cared for, but isn't talking. Apparently, what happens at Jennifer's stays at Jennifer's”

“Valerie was excellent! She took great of our dog, sent regular updates, and managed his eye condition well. An added bonus is her sweet dog Ollie who was great company for our dog and kept him at ease.”

“I cannot say enough kind things about John and how he treated Oreo while we were out of the country the past ten days. John communicated thoroughly throughout our trip and sent pictures of Oreo several times a day, he also took her out several times a day on walks or going to do fun things like visit the park, car rides, etc. She received many healthy treats and he even was kind enough to send some home with us today. I recommend using his services and will be using John from here on out in the future. 10/10 experience leaving my dog with him. We feel very lucky to have found John and Max! :)”
About: I have been caring for dogs most of my life and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I currently have a well-behaved two-year-old Shih Tzu, which has helped me stay consistent with routines, training, and daily care. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I treat every dog like my own. I work Monday through Friday during the day, but I am available in the evenings for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I have full availability on weekends for boarding and extended care, and I make sure every pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care around my work schedule. I can take your pets on walks, and all of the other essentials. I have two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. I can also crate train your pets if needed I do have crates if your pets need trained.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.
“This was my fourth time taking Duncan to Kath & Jordan and as always, they took great care of him! He always looks so happy in the pictures they send me :)”

“Drop off and pick up was so nice and easy. Most of all I appreciated picking up my gal and seeing how relaxed and loved on she'd been. My girl will be anxious for hours if she's been alone or stressed, but she was perfectly relaxed and happy! So thankful!”

“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”

“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! Aubrey took amazing care of our dogs and really went above and beyond. Our pups got plenty of walks, even special treats like pup cups, and we loved getting all the pictures and updates! It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely care about our dogs, and their setup is fantastic. Safe, comfortable, and perfect for keeping the dogs happy and active. We came home to very happy pups and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

“Accommodated me on short notice. Nathan has strong attentiveness. Inquired about my preferences and if I had specific requests like wanting photos / my pups schedule in order to provide optimal care to him during their time together.”

Central Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kirsten was fantastic! She took great care of my high-energy dog, and I couldn't be happier with her service. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time, sending me pictures and videos every day. I had an excellent experience and would highly recommend her to anyone!

From the moment we met Tania, she was friendly and welcoming. She introduced Molly to her pets and the layout of her home and fenced-in yard. Molly had to learn to use the Dog Door and did so While away, Tania sent photos and videos of Molly enjoying herself. It is clear that Tania cares deeply for pets. Molly had a wonderful time, and we will look forward to using Tania again.

Mingo had a great stay! She took wonderful care of him, and it was clear he was happy and well looked after the entire time. Even though we didn’t have phone service and couldn’t communicate during the stay, everything went smoothly and we felt confident he was in good hands. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave him. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Brittany is the literal best. We have a senior dog who requires some delicate attention as well as a heeler who is just chaos. We’ve taken several international trips and every time Brittany not only takes great care of our pups, but also keeps us updated so we can relax and enjoy our trip. 20/10 stars!!

Ava did a phenomenal job caring for my two pups, Trooper & Shaiya. We scheduled a meet and greet the evening before boarding and Ava kindly came to my residence to meet the dogs and ensure everything would work well with her dog as well. My dogs are young (8 and 6 months), and have a lot of play energy. Ava did a great job caring for them and provided me with pictures/videos along the way. Given her success with this challenge, I'm highly confident she will take excellent care of your dog as well! 10/10 recommend!
