Derek has been fantastic. He utilizes the full 30-minutes and goes walking and incorporates play time in there as well. He provides daily report cards. I plan to keep on using him daily.

Rachel is the first dog walker I’ve ever hired, and my first experience with Rover. She has been exceptional. SO sweet, great at communicating, and timely. She also spent an extra 20-30 minutes walking my dog (after communicating to see if it was ok), trying to track down a bandana that had fallen off. She has been a huge help to my family, and I can’t recommend her enough.

Brooke has been so wonderful caring for my sweet Hank for his daily walks! She is always attentive to his needs and ensures he has the best day with her, and always provides me with pictures and a snapshot about their day. I know we are both going to miss having her around! She has been nothing short of amazing to my baby and I’m sure will do the same for yours!

About: I have over 13 years of experience as a dedicated cat owner, having cared for my own cat throughout its life. My love for animals started early, as I had a dog growing up, and as an adult, I cared for two beloved dogs who have since passed away. Additionally, my experience extends to a variety of other animals, including rats, guinea pigs, tortoises, and fish, and I also cared for dogs while working as a nanny. I am committed to your pets safety and wellbeing. My schedule is flexible which allows me the chance to acre for your pet and their unique needs. A morning or lunch walk would fit well into my schedule and caring for pets during the week or on the weekends is not a problem. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. This includes maintaining a clean space, providing regular feeding schedules with fresh water, and ensuring plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection to meet their physical and emotional needs. I also keep a close eye on their health, looking out for any changes in behavior or signs of illness, and address them promptly. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I adapt to the pet's established routine to minimize stress and ensure continuity of care. I follow specific instructions provided by the client, such as feeding schedules, medication needs, or special care requirements. I make sure to maintain a clean space, engage with the pet to build trust and comfort, and keep the client updated on their pet’s well-being. Whether in my home or a client's, my goal is to provide compassionate and reliable care tailored to each pet's unique needs.

Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).

About: I've been a lover of animals all my life and have worked with service dogs in training. I will treat animals as if they are my own! I am a arch college student with weekends and Tuesdays free. Depending on the intended times, I could be available on other days as well! I will not be able to care for pups in my home. I live in a dorm on campus and it would be very tricky to sit them while having classes.

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three labs and started dog sitting for neighbors and family as a kid, so caring for pups comes naturally to me. Today, I have my own rescue from the Lexington Humane Society, which has only deepened my love and understanding of dogs of all personalities and needs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. I work completely remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available for visits, walks, and overnight stays on weekdays (especially afternoons/evenings) and weekends. I’m happy to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, whether that’s regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, stress free environment. I always follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medications to routines and house rules. Safety is my top priority and I keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits, and I respect your home as if it were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. Lots of love and quality time!

About: I have always been a dog lover since I can remember. Growing up, my family used to raise dachshunds and I was always right there learning and ready to lend a helping hand. My friends with baby doggies have always called on me when they needed a sitter or just a friend for their furry family member to play with. I am patient and willing to learn any dog under any circumstance. I will truly enjoy spending my time with your pet. 🐶🐾 I work full time but, I am on night shift so I am available to play and care for your pup all morning! can work around schedules, just depends. I have a fenced in backyard. It is very roomy for multiple dogs, if play dates are your thing. there are plenty of dog parents in the area so taking walks will nothing new here. I have no animals of my own at the moment so, plenty of time and attention for your dog. I offer any type of accommodations. if crating is your thing, will do. if free range in the yard is for you, no problem. the rules are yours to set.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We grew up with dogs and added cats to the mix when I was in high school. I’ve had several cats and dogs since then. Presently I have a two week on, two week off schedule. During my two weeks off I need something to do and pet sitting would both give me something to do, and allow me to have some dogs around. I’m a fan of walking so don’t worry about your puppets getting exercise! Pet care in my home is dictated by you, and enhanced by me. I’ll feed on the schedule you’ve set, but I’ve been advised by vets to let dogs have as much water as they want. So I’m happy with frequent yard time, or even walks if that’s necessary. With a fenced in back yard this is not a problem. And while I’m a sucker for puppy eyes, I’ll treat how you want as well. You also don’t need to worry about strong discipline. I will never hit or kick your dog.

About: Hi! I’m someone who truly treats every pet like family. What sets me apart is how much I focus on each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have hands-on experience with both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I can help reinforce potty training, crate training, leash skills, and good habits using positive reinforcement. For senior pets, I’m very patient and attentive—I’m comfortable giving medications, following specific care routines, and making sure they get gentle exercise and lots of comfort. I’m also big on communication. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, or needs a little extra TLC, I adjust my care style to fit them. Reliability, safety, and genuine care are my top priorities—and I always aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so your pet will get consistent attention and care throughout the day. I plan my schedule to make sure I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins—nothing is rushed. On a typical day, I’m able to provide morning, midday, and evening care, which works well for maintaining a pet’s normal routine. Whether that means early walks, regular potty breaks, or sticking to a specific feeding schedule, I make sure their needs come first. During the week and weekends, I keep my schedule flexible so I can adapt to each pet’s routine—especially for things like puppy potty breaks, exercise needs, or senior pets who may need more frequent attention. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medications—while keeping your space clean and sending regular updates. In my home, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision, structure, and attention so pets feel relaxed and at home. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, consistency, and personalized care to match each pet’s needs and personality.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life, and have been a proud dog mama for the last 16 years. My first love was Shorty - a lab/border collie with Addison’s Disease requiring daily medication and who lived the last two years of her life blind. I can keep your dog's feeding and medication schedule, and have a soft spot in my heart for older and special-needs pups. When Shorty crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I was able to rescue Hattie - my sweet-as-pie, now 4-year-old and 40-pound Australian Shepherd mix. I have a nice fenced-in yard (6-foot privacy fence), and I work from home, so I am never far from your pooch. My priority is that your pup feels loved and cared for like my own. I work part-time from home, so I am almost always available for your pup! When I am not home (rarely more than a few hours), I crate our dog Hattie, who loves her "room". Hattie is exercised in my 6-foot privacy-fenced backyard every day unless the weather does not cooperate. I can follow any food and medication schedule your dog has. My yard features a 6-foot privacy fence, and we have a playful 40-pound Australian Shepherd mix. I make sure that the dogs get exercised in the yard every day that the weather permits, and I live in the perfect neighborhood for walks! My dog Hattie is crated when we are not home.

About: I have been pet sitting for 5 years and my friends, family and neighbors all have trusted me to take care of their pets for years. I have experience in basic obedience training with young dogs. I have trained my 2 dogs and have done some work with other puppies. I have experience with administrating medicine to senior animals. I also have experience with reptiles, I used to be a pet keeper at a pet store and picked up many useful skills during that time. I am currently working part time. Shifts are about 4 to 7 hours long but only 3 days a week. Daily walks are no problem, I can fit that into my daily schedule. I usually like to discuss with the clients that have booked with me about my schedule for that week. I usually do not house pets in my home due to the fact that we have many animals and things can get difficult. In a client's home I usually follow the instructions that I am provided for the pets diet and routine. I love playing and spending time with all my clients animals!

About: I have previously worked for a professional pet care service for 2 years, am certified in both dog and cat first aid, and am trained on how to administer medication. I’ve personally had a wide variety of pets throughout my life time and feel comfortable with almost every animal! I'm currently a full time graduate student at the university of Kentucky perusing my MFA! My life mostly circles around school and getting home to spend time with my lovely cat. Since the semester is out for the summer I have ample time to be able to spend with your animals! I cannot offer daycare amenities in my own home but will fully utilize those available to me! I currently have a chow-border collie mix who is incredibly well behaved and loved, I also have one cat who is 7 years old and slightly special needs as she was born with herpes, recently my 16 year old best friend just passed over the rainbow bridge. I can’t wait to give your animal that same love and attention I give my very own!

I cannot say enough good things about Brooke! From the first week I got my crazy cattle dog puppy she has been instrumental in helping me exercise and care for my new bestie. Her prompt communication and willingness to help out despite my repeated last minute bookings is so helpful for my erratic work schedule. Whether it’s 10 degrees and there’s 8 inches of ice on the ground or it’s raining Brooke has showed up for me and been so loving and patient with my spicy pup. 10/10 no notes pls never leave us lol
