About: I’ve been providing excellent dog walking/sitting services for 5 years with neighbors and friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, throughout all ages. I’ve had over 15 dogs throughout my lifetime and they hold a special place in my heart! I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky and have classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. I’m available all day Monday and Wednesday. I have a loving and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog living with me and a fenced in dog park with obstacles to play on. If your dog requires to be crated I can easily do that too!
“Sarah is wonderful with my furry girls! She is friendly, patient, kind, and caring. I'm happy she will be caring for my pups while I am away for two weeks!”

“Jessica has dropped in to take care of my big babies a few times and I havent had any issues. Shes always very communicative and sends me the cutest pics of my babies that always make me smile at work 😊”

“Rachel took great care of our cat! She was flexible with his needs, followed all care instructions perfectly, and provided lots of play time and pets at every drop-in. Communication with her was easy and prompt. She also was very respectful of our home and kept it tidy. Highly recommend!!”

“Kim was excellent! She stayed in communication and was prompt getting back to me. Most importantly, my two cats were well taken care of! Everything was in order when I got home and my cats are happy. I'll definitely use Kim again and would recommend her to others.”

“Kara's care for my dogs was exceptional - she was professional, flexible, quickly developed a trusting relationship with my dogs, and takes great pictures!”

“Brooke is just wonderful! So kind and professional. I had no doubt that my dog and cat were in the best hands while I was gone. She’s awesome!”

“Ashtin & Jenison are awesome! This is my second time booking with them to watch my cat, Duchess. I always get lots of photos and Duchess looks very happy. They even brought in a laser toy for her! They helped me out with last minute requests and also with two extensions on my last visit. They are super friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat. i will definitely book with them again!”

“Catherine was excellent in every way! Had scheduled with her a little over a week in advance and then had my older pet pass away right before the trip—she was incredibly helpful at helping me edit the number of pets scheduled for her to drop-in on via the Rover site and was very kind about my loss. Professional, sent lots of pics, and my slow-to-warm-up cat snuggled with her!”


“Margaret continues to be a reliable sitter for our fur babies. She plays with them and changed the litter box at the last drop-in. Margaret always sends thorough updates, pictures and videos during drop-ins. Additionally, she brought packages and mail in the house while we were traveling too! Will continue to book with her in the future.”

“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”

“Sara is the best!! I could not have asked for a better pet sitter while I was away for Thanksgiving. She was very polite and responsive throughout our experience which was very appreciated. She sent plenty of pictures of my Gino, and I know he greatly appreciated the playtime and socializing. She was wonderful overall and I will absolutely be booking with her next time I need a pet sitter. Thank you Sara :))”

“This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky that Morgan visited my puppy. She was very nice, on time, and took great care of my puppy. She also cleaned up his mess, which I really appreciated. Thank you for everything!”

Great communication, punctual, went above and beyond, highly recommend!”
