About: I have been working with dogs from a young age. I Worked in a kennel to help exercise and train animals for 3 years. After that, my family began fostering dogs to help train and nurse them in order to get them adopted. I also have two dogs of my own that I love to exercise, play and cuddle with. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I am a doctor of physical therapy that is currently pursuing K9 physical therapy. While doing so, I have the flexibility to care for your pet while away. Contact me for more details! I currently make my own schedule. My job requires me to make visits around town and can always swing by at any point of the day to check on the animals. I work from home 1 day a week and love to spend my weekends relaxing with your pups! I can easily care for your dog however you would like. Long walks, play time, whatever they need! I have experience with reactive dogs as well and I will always avoid triggers for them.

“Joanna was fantastic. She was punctual, and left pics/feedback after every walk. 10/10 recommend.”

“Thank you for walking my doggies today! And for cleaning up the toy ☺️”

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m 28, work remotely, and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup the time and attention they deserve. I’m a total dog lover and had my own fur baby for 15 amazing years. Through that experience and caring for other dogs, I’ve become very attentive to each dog’s unique personality, needs, and routine. My services include: Dog Walking I love being outdoors and taking advantage of all the great walking spots around Louisville. I’ll make sure your dog gets a safe, engaging, and energy burning walk every time. House Sitting I understand how tough it can be to leave your dog, especially if they have anxiety. I focus on keeping their routine consistent and creating a calm, comfortable environment while you’re away. I have experience caring for both multiple dogs and one on one, so I’m happy to accommodate whatever works best for your pup. I’d love to connect and care for your dog like they’re my own 🤍 I currently work remotely full-time and have lots of flexibility! I'm more than happy to stay in the home to provide company for them. I currently do not provide care in my home If I did, I would treat them as my own and provide a safe and calm atmosphere.

About: I’ve got experience with pups of all personalities! From chihuahuas to pitties, I love them all. I have seen every episode of de Dog Whisperer, however I’m aware it doesn’t necessarily make me an expert in animal psychology. I’m physically fit and would love to walk and run around with your doggy companions! I have degrees in music (cello) and would be delighted to entertain your pets while you’re away. I also do weddings and parties, if you have one of those coming up. I have loads of experience with cats, as well. I’ve cared for diabetic cats and am very comfortable with injections. My only pet right now is my cat, Bert, who has special needs. All of his needs are met happily by me! If any of this sounds good to you, please give me a ring. I’m completely open for scheduling, so message me and we can set up a meeting! A history of the Swanson Family pets: Dagney (Husky mix), Brit (Britney spaniel), Gus (Boston Terrier), Joey & Franklin (cavalier King Charles spaniel), Moeby (Yorkie/Maltese), Henry (chihuahua/jack Russell), Gracie (catahoula leopard hound/pitbull), and Norman (Irish setter/retriever/chow). I also had a bird, Harpo, a hamster, Paul Daniel, and a cat, Lucy. I'm a musician and private teacher by trade. Right now I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to take on more pet care. My main priority is to maintain the safety of your pet. I'm happy to follow any routines of your household to maintain the comfortability of your pet.

About: Myself & my wife, Madison, are both teachers with the entire days off at times. With that, we will be home with your dog most of the day (if not all day!). Your dog is welcome to roam the house and sleep on our furniture just as our own dog does if we are away - whatever you are comfortable with. We are currently a two dog home right now - we have a Kelpie-mix named Aero and mini-Daschaund named Winnie! They are both playful and loving dogs that will match your own's energy! In the past I have dealt with anything from puppies to rescue dogs (just like Aero). With Aero being a rescue dog, he did suffer from extreme separation anxiety at the beginning (no longer does) so I can accommodate your dog as needed if that is the case. Your dog will be taken care of just as well as Aero - like his short-term brother/sister - through plenty of playtime and treats (if they are allowed). They will also be allowed to sleep with us in bed, and on the furniture. We all can't wait to meet you and your pup! Myself & my wife, Madison, are both teachers. This means we have weekends, most holidays, and even the entire summer off. This allows us plenty of time to play with and cater to both our own dog and yours needs however is necessary! I currently have a full 7ft fence surrounding our yard with plenty of room for your dog to ZOOM! If we need more space, then I do have access to multiple dog parks, or can take them to my family farm to run around if okay with you. I will happily accommodate any rules and routines you have in place with your dog - from crating when leaving to not being allowed on the furniture to having to work on training by working for their food. I will always have open and honest communication with my clients, as well as provide constant updates on the well-being of your pup. We do also live within 5-10 minutes of multiple veterinarian facilities and emergency pet hospitals if anything were to ever happen.

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, from playful puppies to chill senior dogs and independent cats. I make sure they’re happy, safe, and loved, follow their routines, and don’t mind giving meds or keeping things clean. Every pet gets attention, playtime, and lots of love while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, I already spend a lot of time walking, playing with, and caring for my own pets. I enjoy starting and ending my day with animals, whether it’s morning feedings, playtime, or evening walks. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I make sure they’re well fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or quiet company.

“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog! She is always on time, gives us updates on the walks, and helps adjust to anything we might need for that particular day regarding the dog's needs. I would trust her with my dog any time!”

Michelle K.

“We consider her family now. You can tell how much she adores the dogs she takes care of, she's taking care of two of mine. Current dog that she takes care of when I have to go out of town adores her. She house sits for me while I'm gone, and is very respectful of my home.”

About: I am a doctoral candidate in Biology at UofL, so you know I'm good at organization and scheduling! I think my time as a graduate student has sharpened my reasoning and communication skills as well. It's also increased my animal handling experience (mice)! I've had pets my whole life, mostly cats and dogs. My most recent pet is an elderly shi tzu with a surprising amount of energy! Apollo is a very skiddish cat, but we've definitely earned each others' trust. I can drop by to check on your pet, take them out for a walk (if weekday, must be before 10am or after 5pm, can be flexible), check on them periodically to feed them, or house sit (weekends only). I am a grad student, so I'm usually busy during weekdays 10am-5pm. Most of my work now is away from the bench, so I can be a little flexible about those hours Weekends are generally open! I love in an apartment that doesn't allow animals so I can't keep any here. I can however watch your furry friend at your house or take them on walks around the neighborhood!

“Natalie was wonderful once again with Mac and Oliver. She always goes above and beyond and I can be at work without worrying about the boys. Very appreciative of her help!”

About: I recently finished my Master’s Degree and am a mom to an almost 2 year old. I love animals. I have 4 of my own, and I have experience fostering. I am able to administer oral medications when needed and have experience syringe feeding kittens. I am currently stepping away from full time employment to spend more time with my kiddo, leaving me with more availability. i’m looking to step away from full time employment to spend more time with my kiddo, leaving me with more availability than normal. I care for my own cats multiple times a day. Pets in my home are spoiled rotten. They know when it’s night time and time to take care of their needs they get treats. They also get free roam of my house and all the attention they could possibly want (or not want). I can stay at your home or pop in for visits whatever you’re most comfortable with.

About: Hello! I’m a tenured physics Professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently care for three cats of my own and have many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I am patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: Hi, I have been around animals of all different shapes and sizes my whole life. In addition to taking care of my own cat, I volunteer at the animal shelter to provide care and fostering. I would love to meet your furry friend! I recently completed my bachelor's degree at UCLA and relocated to Louisville to begin my professional career. Although I love pets, my lifestyle does not allow me to have a pet full-time. I will give the pets I care for maximal attention and energy. I think it is most important when a dog/cat is in a new environment or in one with new people is to make them feel comfortable and safe. In order to insure this I would spend time with the dog/cat and owner before I care for them on my own

About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m working with so I’m not rushing between visits. That means each dog gets calm, consistent attention and a much better experience overall. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.
