“Tara is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of our cats while we were out of town for the holidays. She is prompt, communicative, kind, and professional in all her interactions. This was our first time ever using Rover so we were a tad nervous to book, but as soon as we met Tara we knew it was a great fit! We will definitely be booking Tara to watch our cats on our future trips.”

“I didn’t worry about my cats at all, I knew that they were in very capable hands. Bree was able to get them to come out of hiding and interact with them. She’s wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: Been caring for dogs and cats all my life. Raised 5 dogs from puppy to advanced old age, so I’m especially in tune to the needs of senior dogs. You need a mature, responsible person who loves animals caring for your special pet in your home…I’m your man. I’m available 7 days a week from 6 am on. I can do overnight house/pet sitting with no time limit. Special advance arrangements can be made. I’ll treat your pet, and your home, like I would my own, with love, attention, and respect. Your pet’s safety and your property’s security are my top priority.
“Haley was amazing with our two kitties! We had some very detailed instructions and she followed everything to a T. She provided clear constant communication while we were away and we felt our kitties were in great hands. Would definitely book again, thank you Haley!”

About: I’ve had dogs of my own for 26 years, and I have raised one by myself for the last 6 years. I love fur babies and want them to all feel loved. I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to take on jobs pretty much daily. Sometimes I do travel home, but that is not often. I can / will do anything you need from easily crating your dog, to playing with them and providing care to them. Feeding them, playing with them, just giving them company are all things I can do.
About: We've always owned pets since I was a baby. When i moved out on my own, I brought my dog with me. She was elderly which means I had to administer medicine for her as the months went on. I am a huge dog lover (especially the big pups). It is rare for any dog to scare me even slightly. I am currently a stay at home mama for two beautiful kids. One kid is in school, the other is an infant that I would have no problem bringing with me when my husband isn't home. I can easily fit some pet care into my schedule. I have a fenced in backyard for our dog to run around freely. We keep fresh water outside for when he stays out a long time. We feed him around the same time every day. Our cats roam freely inside the home. They get lots of loves and cuddled.

I have a part time job as a lifeguard, so communication is all I need!! Overnight should never really be an issue and I can always stop in before and after shifts if needed. I would be able to accommodate to your home and adjust to anything your pet may need!! I have taken care of my own dog since a young age and understand the needs.
About: I’ve worked in a pet facility for 2 years, along with shadowing at Sky View Veterinary Clinic.

I go to college at Murray State, so I will only be available in the summer and winter break!! I have a fenced in backyard, along with 3 other dogs of my own! We have pet doors that allow the dogs to go out whenever they would like and play.

About: I lived on a farm as a child where we were responsible for dogs, cats, cows, horses, goats, etc. I currently have a labradoodle who has been with me for 5 years. I enjoy taking care of pets basic needs also with providing exercise for them such as long walks, runs or games of ball or frisbee. I work full time but am available until 7:30 AM, lunch time and evenings after 5:30. While I do have a busy schedule between work, church, and grandkids, I am a perfect solution for someone who needs a house sitter and can feed, water and exercise pets daily along with giving them attention. I am available to stay with your dog in the comfort of their own home. This seems to work especially well for pets with anxiety. I am physically able to help your pets get the exercise they need through walks and play time outside. I have a relaxed and quite demeanor and enjoy the companionship offered by pets.
About: I'm an Licensed Veterinary Technician, and I have been working with animals since I was 18. I've pet-sat for most of the doctors I've worked for, as well as some of the other technicians. I have a high love and respect for all animals and am always there to help out. I am currently a college student, and most of my time is spent at my apartment. I am available weekdays after 2pm and all day on the weekend. In my home I am often very interactive with my animals,and I keep a wide variety of treats and toys for entertainment. My apartment is spacious and has a private backyard. I always keep a neat and orderly home to prevent accidents. At a clients home I am always respectful and courteous, and always do my best to go above and beyond their expectations.
About: I have my own ESA cat and French Bulldog. I take very well care of my pets and assure you I will take the best care of yours! I love going on walks so adding an animal to that wouldn’t be so bad. I work part time and do this on the side for fun. I keep my space very clean and/or yours and feed and care for the dog or cat per the owners instructions. Every animal owner is different.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life. I own a farm and would love to watch after your farm while you are away! I have super flexible hours, so your pet will be cared for around the clock! Your pet is my top priority and will be well taken care of! I live on a farm with plenty of room for your pets to run and play while being supervised. Your dog will never be left alone.
“Olivia went above and beyond watching our two cats. She was very professional and thorough, and our boys absolutely loved her. She kept us updated while we were gone, and she even sent us pictures and videos of them. We will definitely be using her for all of our kitty needs in the future! :)”

About: While I do not currently own a dog, I have had dogs since I was 4, and been responsible for them since around 12. I know how to read their body language and engage with them in ways that respect their needs and boundaries! I have over 100 hours of vet internships! While it is now lapsed I also had an AVA designation, and it's only lapsed because I've been focused on a degree in wildlife biology at school. Around the age of 16 I took over complete care of my dogs, including my elderly dog. I brought them to their first vet appointments, payed their vet bills, made important decisions regarding surgery and care, and insured their food was good quality. I can give medication and take temperature on both dogs and cats. I have lots of experience In reading body language and know when to step away and when to engage. I also have extensive experience in reptile care! Overall I'm responsible, engaged, and respectful of both my pets and others pets. I take health very seriously and can follow instructions to a T. I am currently attending Murray State University and am looking to bolster my income while enjoying all the perks of caring for animals! It isn't all about the money. I do genuinely adore visiting and connecting to pets and I know the struggle it can be to find someone you trust to leave your pet to! I'm hear to be a trustworthy adult you can rely on. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your little one alone as a pet owner myself. I have to travel often for boat races as I'm on my schools rowing team, and I don't know what I would do without my closest friends! I'm here for you and your pet, always! Currently I have one pet, my cat bandit. He's my first pet as an adult and I did all the research, adopting processes, and recourse gathering myself! He's fed on a 3 meal cycle throughout the day and his food is based on extensive research into a cats dietary needs and restrictions. I am very strict about his treatment. His boundaries are to always be respected and he's always handled with care! Absolutely no throwing/tossing him, no hitting, no shoving. If he doesn't want to be held he doesn't get held, if he wants space he gets space. He's the king of our castle. Others pets are shown this same level of respect from me. I take feeding guidelines very seriously and understand the importance of play and stimulation In keeping a critter happy and healthy.
