“I highly recommend Emmelea! This was our first time using her for an overnight stay, and she exceeded all expectations. Her communication was top-notch; we received regular updates and so many cute pictures that showed how happy and well-cared-for our pup was. She truly treated him like her own. We feel so lucky to have found her and will 100% book with her again!”

“Lauran is an absolute dream of a companion, house sitter, fur baby manager and lover, and just overall great human. Lauran was thoughtful, responsive and responsible in every way. From sharing pics of our Simon and Molly with us, to asking questions of us as needed, to her bubbly and positive personality, to her attention to detail, she will be our go to person every time we need someone who we trust to spend time at our home and with our pups. We came home to a house nice Ethan we left it a two dogs that were clearly well taken care of while we weee away. Thank you Lauran for being such a great Rover sitter! Thank you Lauran for giving us such peace found and comfort as we traveled.”

“Katie is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of my cat Boots, was responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, and left my apartment in great condition. I would absolutely have her watch Boots again!”

“Amber was a great sitter for our dog. She showed up early which was great. She sent pictures and communicated great. She left our house neat and clean while we were gone for the weekend. We will definitely hire her again.”

“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I was surrounded by horses, chickens, numerous dogs and cats. My family has owned all different types of dogs, ranging from new born puppies to senior dogs. I have also owned cats so am super familiar with those also. I am a college student and have my car on campus, so I am available to drive at least 10 miles. I would love to help out with your fur friends :) I am currently a full time college student, and have classes on Monday’s, Tuesday’s, and Wednesday’s. These days I am unfortunately unavailable, unless you are In need of a late night walk or anima check in. Any other day I am usually available whenever! I am currently living on campus, so I do not have a yard or a room for animals. Fortunately, I have my car, so I am available to drive to you! I will take the dogs on long walks, I will even take them to a park to walk trails if you want. I will house sit also if needed, and more than happy to bathe the dogs. I am very open to any service that is needed!
“Joanna is the best! She stayed with our dog for just under a week in our home and took the best care of her. Our pup has pretty severe separation anxiety and requires medication and Joanna made sure she was comfortable and cared for. Sent lots of pictures and daily updates. When we got home, our house was spotless and just as we left it. We will definitely be using her services again!”


About: I want to point out first, I do work a full time job Monday-Friday and the hours are 7:30-4, so this is my side hustle! I wanted to be open and transparent before you book with me! I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I currently have a white lab/golden retriever mix that is just under a year old, her name is Maggie! I’ve taken care of friends and families pets since I was about 17. The animals I’ve watched have included dogs, cats, and guinea pigs! My favorites are my senior animals who just want to lounge but I love taking my younger ones to the park to play as well! I’m currently working full time during the week but available to pet sit or take care of them after work. I build in time to my daily schedule to accommodate walks, feeding time, and play time! I am more than happy to provide references from my other clients to help ease your mind. I also have experience in having to crate animals and keeping them separate if needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life including small to large dogs. I am not a professional trainer but I have experience in training my own fur babies. My work is flexible where I can drop in for visits, take them out walking or just spend time playing with them. I can also board them, so that you can have a stress free vacation. They will have a fenced yard to play in and a buddy to play with. I will send lots of pictures and updates. To ensure safety, please have all vaccinations up to date and send me a copy, if possible. I also like to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure both parties are comfortable with the booking. It will also be an opportunity to address any concerns. I work full time but have the flexibility to work remotely. If your fur baby needs someone to be home all the time, I can accommodate that. I have a fenced yard. I have a 3 year old beagle mix and a 1 year old beagle. They are both very friendly and wants to make friends. I like to take them for walks and they get plenty of outdoor time and frequent potty breaks. We have a 4 month old baby, so I would prefer if your pets are good with kids.
About: I've had cats and/or dogs all my life! I love all animals! I'm one who will get out of my car to help a turtle cross the road. I'm a retired teacher so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. This would be such an enjoyable way to spend my days! I can care for your dog(s) in my home or yours! I can care for your cat(s) in your home, as I already have 4. I'm willing to play, go on walks, car rides, or the park with your dog.
“Emily did a great job. She was communicative, professional, and my animals loved her. It was evident that she loves animals. She was really helpful in not just one, but two last minute situations where I needed help. I highly recommend her and will certainly be looking to use her in the future.”


“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”

“Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.”

We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.

Kai did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. They are a bit needy and love to bark, but she kept me updated for the duration of her stay, and sent lots for photos to me. She left the house spotless, and nothing was out of place when I returned home. I will definitely be booking with her again. 5/5 stars!!
