Dog Sitting Crestwood

About: I believe you can tell everything you need to know about a person by the way they treat animals. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life. After my 14 year old Labrador passed away, I became a foster home for needy dogs, through GRANND. I learned a lot about sick and abused dogs over those years. Most recently I have been house and dog sitting for a family in Louisville. I specialize in disabled and medical care your dog may need. I currently have an open schedule now that my teen is getting older. I look forward to spending my time with your dog, soon. I also have experience with care of birds and rabbits. Please no cats, due to allergies. I am currently a mother of one teenage girl. She needs me less so I have a very flexible schedule. I look forward to spending more time with animals. I will care for animals at your home. I am also happy to take your dog to the park, or wherever you prefer. My schedule is flexible.

About: Hi! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and animals have always been one of my biggest passions. I currently have two rescue dogs and a rescue kitten, so I am constantly surrounded by animals and am very familiar with the care, attention, and love they require. My dogs are apartment dogs with a small yard, so we average about 5–6 walks a day. Walking, playing with, and loving on animals are genuinely some of my favorite things to do. My mission is to provide the best care possible for your pet while also making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have plenty of experience caring for puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, administering medications, animal hygiene, and more. I am comfortable around animals of any size, color, or breed, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. When I come to walk, play with, visit, or take care of your animals, I will dedicate my time to making sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I love being able to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving other people peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for. A little about my own pets: I have my Pittie, Bandit, who is 6 years old and a rescue. I also have Koda, my 3 month old Pitbull/German Shepherd mix who is also a rescue. Lastly, I have Loki, my 4 month old rescue kitten. They are my world, and I would treat your pets with that same love and care! I am a full-time online student at ASU, which means I am home most of the time and have very open availability. I am also very flexible and can often accept last-minute bookings I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly dogs! I also walk my dogs very frequently and don’t mind to add more to our walks. I have a large 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of space and beds for playing, sleeping, and zoomies!

“I wish I could give Cassidy TEN stars! She was extremely attentive to every detail, sent video updates each time she visited, and the dogs LOVED her! I highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: I've always loved dogs! As a dog-owner myself, I know the stress of leaving a pet at home, both during the workday and when on vacation, but also what it's like to have the peace of mind that comes with a trustworthy pet sitter. I love giving pet parents that security of knowing their baby is happy and safe while they're away. I have cared for dogs ranging from the puppy stage to senior years. I have experience providing medical care to dogs ranging from post-surgical care such as monitoring for adverse reactions to anesthesia, to facilitating recovery from ACL repair surgery by providing heat/ice to the affected leg and following surgeon's orders for increasing walk length on a variety of terrains to help the dog regain muscle strength. Most recently, I have cared for a senior dog who was partially deaf and had arthritis. That experience taught me to intentionally stay in his eyesight, and to tailor the pace and length of walks and playtime to meet his gait and energy level. My full-time work allows me to be available on a variety of weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Depending on the day, I am either very flexible and can come whenever your pup needs me, or am more limited with evening-only availability. So just ask! I only walk dogs in an escape-proof device such as a Martindale or chain ("choke") collar. I will not walk a dog in a flat collar or harness, even if the device is advertised as 'escape proof' or the dog does not have a history of escaping. This is for my peace of mind as well as yours, and for the safety of your fur baby. In addition, when I am walking your dogs, they are my first priority. I am not on my phone so I can pay attention to my surroundings and the dogs in order to maximize safety for both of us. Finally, to make my time with your fur baby as positive as possible, I require a meet and greet with you and your pet before coming to care for them by myself.

About: Hi my name is Audrey, I am a current nursing student at the University of Louisville. I have experience taking care of people, dogs and cats; as I myself have an Australian shepherd, a bulldog and a calico. I enjoy taking care of all animals and treat them as they are my own, as pets have always been a part of my life growing up as well as currently. I’m currently a full-time student, I have availability in the afternoon/evening Mon-Thurs for walks and drop-ins and all day availability Fri-Sun for overnights, drop-ins and walks. During summer/school breaks my availability will be completely open for morning-evening bookings. I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet I care for. I am experienced with both crate-trained and non–crate-trained pets and can adapt to your pet’s routine/needs. If possible I would love to have a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure a good fit and a safe positive experience for you, your pet, and myself. During walks, pets will remain securely leashed at all times. I monitor behavior, surroundings, and any potential risks to keep your pet safe.

About: I have taken care of many animals my entire life. I have been pet sitting for my family for many years either for adult dogs or puppies, cats and kittens. I love all animals and throughly enjoy spending time with animals. I love playing fetch, going on walks and cuddle times. I am currently a stay at home mom. Both my children are in school now so I have time to spend loving on animals during the day. I am available on weekdays 7:30am-2pm and 6:30pm-9:30pm. On weekends I’m pretty much available all day. I have a large fenced in back yard, I have one dog and one cat. I can crate a dog if needed. I am happy to feed, water and walk your animals.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for more than 15 years and grew up with dogs, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I genuinely love dogs of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic medication, senior dogs, puppies, and of course plenty of attention and snuggles. I’m also comfortable getting to know each dog’s individual routine, personality, and quirks. I know how much I worry about my own dog when I’m away, so I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want someone to give mine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits in the evenings during the week and have more flexibility throughout the weekends. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some extra attention and company, I’m happy to work with their normal routine and make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I know every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours comfortable and happy. I’m also respectful of your home and will always make sure your pet is safe and everything is secure before I leave. And because I know how reassuring it is when someone else is caring for your dog, I’m happy to send photos and updates during every visit!

“Thanks Makylie for taking care of our crazy critters. Received pictures, everyone was happy. Pippy loved Makylie from the first “meet and greet”, Min was very excited to see her, Elvis loves attention from anyone, and Sassy stayed hidden as usual. Would recommend Rover service, and Makylie. Planning to use again.”

About: Hi! I’m Samantha. I'm an animal lover who grew up in a home that always had pets. I love all animals and will love on your furry friends while you are away! I am always the go-to house and pet sitter for all my friends and family because I’m reliable, caring, and treat every animal like my own. I work from home, so I’m often able to stay with your pets during the day if I can work from your house, giving them plenty of company and attention. I’d love to help care for your pets and give you peace of mind (and cute photos of your pet) while you’re away! Working from home gives me the perfect schedule to care of your pets and home while you are away! My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to be with your pet throughout the day giving them extra love and attention! I will make sure I understand the pet's routine and normal enviornment so that I can be sure that we are sticking to that. I will be sure I that if any pets are outside they are on leash or being monitored in a back yard. I stay midful of all entrances/exits/gates ensuring your sweet pup or cat are safe.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and have been a huge passion of mine growing up. I am caring, trusting, and dependable and will provide the best personal care to fit your dog, cats, or exotics needs. My experience with both dogs and cats has stemmed as a far back to pet sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood, to volunteering at the humane society through my teens. My work experience includes working at a humane society and county shelter. I also have years of experience working at dog boarding and daycare facilities. Along with some background working at an animal hospital. These all allowed me to get familiar with all sizes, personalities, and needs. I am comfortable and have been around puppies of all ages! I also am familiar with dogs with special needs and am able to administer medication. I also recently just became Pet CPR and first aid certified. Besides my experience in care for cats and dogs, I have some prior knowledge for caring with reptiles and ferrets. It’s always rewarding and important to provide the best care possible and most importantly make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. Currently I am a very open and flexible with my schedule to cater to different situations and provide the highest care possible for your individual pets needs. I do my best and strive to stick with your pets schedule and routine. I provide drop in visits that includes multiple times a day or staying in home to ensure the best care for your companion. *Special/specific needs may include an increase fee in service.

About: Pharmacy tech, very knowledgeable and familiar with administering medication to animals.* I’ve been rescuing animals since I was 8yrs old, I have a lot experience with young animals as well as senior care. I’ve never met an animal that I wasn’t able to make comfortable and build a bond with! I’m currently a stay at home mom, my baby would be next door at my parents during boarding. I’m excited to get the opportunity to enjoy your furbaby while being able to provide for my baby❤️ Depending on your preferences, I’d enjoy being hands on with your furbaby. I enjoy going for walks and runs. Lots of play time and engagement

About: I’ve taken care of, for one, my own dog since I was young and besides from that my neighbors, friends, and family always rely on me when they’re out of town to take care of their pets:) I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs! I’m currently enrolled at the University Of Louisville, and have some in person and also online classes so when I’m available could differ but I’m pretty flexible and I could bring my laptop anywhere! I love pets like they’re my own, I have a deep spot in my heart for them all🥹 I can crate any size dog if need be (I know some worry about that). More than happy to take them out wherever whenever, play/walk with them, or bathe them:)!

“Came through for me last minute!! Even though she had other dogs to walk during lunch she squeezed Lilly in and was able to give me updates the entire time. Would definitely book again!”

About: I've had cats and dogs throughout my life and have always loved caring for animals. Most of my experience comes from caring for my own pets and helping care for family members' pets. I've also cared for animals with special needs, including pets who need medications or special diets. I currently have a Pomeranian of my own, and I'm comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities (My parents have a large Rottweiler I care for when they are out). I’m happy to follow your pet's normal routine, whether they need a walk, feeding, medication, playtime, or simply some company while you're away. I work full-time during the week, so I offer morning and evening care on weekdays and have more flexibility on weekends. I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I'd want someone to give mine. I’m primarily available for longer visits and house sitting on weekends. For house sitting, I’m not able to stay at a client’s home continuously during weekday work hours, so I’m best suited for pets who are comfortable being alone for part of the day. I’m always upfront about my schedule so I can give every pet the attention and care they deserve. I work full time during the week, so my weekday availability is mainly early mornings and evenings. I’m also available for visits after work when they fit my commute. Weekends are when I have the most flexibility, so I can spend much more time with your pets and offer longer visits or more hands-on care. I also do school online, so I typically keep Sundays for schoolwork and planning, but im open to short check ins. I do have house sitting active because I can spend good time with your pets on the weekend when I have availability but I CAN NOT stay the night/full time at your home, I have my own pets I have to care for as well so it would be difficult. I have a fenced yard where dogs can get some supervised outdoor time, but the fence is not tall enough for me to consider it escape-proof for larger or athletic dogs. I will always supervise pets while they are outside. If you prefer your dog to stay on a leash, I’m also happy to take them for walks around my neighborhood. I’m careful about following each pet’s routine, instructions, and individual needs.

About: I've taken care of friends and families' dogs and cats since highschool. Including full house sitting as well as dropping in for quick walks, potty breaks and feeding times. I'm currently working 35-40 hours a week weekdays and I'm off work on weekends. I'll have plenty of time in the evenings and mornings to take care of your pets during the week and I'm very available for them during the weekend "I provide safe care in your home by sticking to your pet's regular schedule. I make sure doors are locked, clean up any messes, and send you daily updates and pictures."

“We were really happy with the care she gave our dog while we were away. At first our dog was a little shy and unsure, but she eventually warmed up to her and started getting excited for their walks and playtime. I was honestly nice seeing her look forward to the visits. She always made sure our dog was fed and had fresh clean water, and even with only 30-minute visits, she still took the time to walk and play with her. Our dog can pull a lot during walks, but she handled her really well and seemed patient with her. Overall we were satisfied with her care and appreciated the updates and time she spent with our dog while we were away. We’d definitely consider booking with her again. Thank you again!”
