About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own pets and fostering both cats and dogs. I'm an avid walker with a super flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love while you're away. I treat every animal like family—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I have lots of availability and love being active, so I’m always ready for walks, playtime, and cuddles. My days are flexible, which means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency as often as they need. I care for pets with the same attention and love I give my own. I'm very detail-oriented, neat, and organized. I'll always follow your instructions exactly to keep your pet comfortable and your home just the way you left it. You can trust me to treat both with the utmost care and respect.
About: I am the proud grandchild of a certified crazy pet lady. My grandmother had five cats and two dogs for most of my childhood, so I am well-versed in the patience and love it takes to care for your pets. I work part-time and am a full time student, but I have lots of availability on the weekends and during holidays to care for your pets. I also find myself out and about in the city all the time, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while exploring new neighborhoods. I know that your space is your own (and your pet’s, of course) and I will be sure to treat it with the care and respect that I would my own.
“Alice is the best. Outstanding dog walker! Always goes the extra mile to make sure my pet is happy and well cared for! Very knowledgeable, reliable and conscientious and instantly informs you should there be a problem that you might not have noticed before. Would definitely highly recommend!”
“Eleanor is a staple of my Zeke dog’s care team. She has been walking him every week for over a year (and clearly demonstrates patience with me). Eleanor is dedicated, reliable, communicative and repeatedly steps up to help as her schedule allows. Eleanor provides invaluable care and I’m happy for those reading this to have found her!”
“Athena was absolutely wonderful with Juno! She is so friendly and professional, and goes above and beyond. I forgot to leave my key for her and she came by my work to pick it up! Juno looked so happy when I got home, I could tell she had had a good day thanks to her walk.”
“Could not be happier with the attention and care Thomas gave my pup. It was great to come home and find the pup napping after mid-day human interaction and a great walk. Will use Thomas again when work makes a midday walk impossible or I go out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Magdalana has been great with my dog, Bella. She promptly responds to messages and is very flexible with scheduling. I feel comfortable with her in my house, walking my dog, and providing optimal care for my pup. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats in the house and have cared for several of both since. I’m especially experienced with senior dogs and skittish cats I recently left my job at an insurance company and have lots of time in my hands that I’d like to fill with caring for animals. My schedule is very flexible Caring starts with getting comfortable with one another and understanding any special needs the animal has. Recognizing signs and signals are very important. After that it’s just about showering love upon them.
About: I am currently a University student working part time at a vet clinic here in Louisville. I have a pet bunny who lives with me here, and back home my family has 3 dogs and 2 cats - all of our pets being rescues. I love working with animals of all shapes and sizes. Last summer I worked at a pet resort caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. At both this previous job and my current, I work closely with senior dogs to provide special and comfortable care. I have worked with dogs with dementia, arthritis, and varying diseases and disorders. I work well with aggressive and fearful pets, too. I have lots of experience with high energy puppies as well! I am currently taking classes through June and working a part-time job at a vet clinic. My classes start at 9 am, but I tend to be awake as early as 5:30 am and would love to take your pet on an early morning walk. Since the clinic closes at 6 pm, I am free in the evenings as well to walk, feed, and play with your pets, whatever the need may be! Going into July, I will be working more hours but will have more availability during the day, especially on Mondays. Each pet has their own unique needs, and I am willing to adapt to meet those needs. Whether your pet is a senior who needs shorter, slower, yet more frequent walks throughout the day, has health needs, or is a bouncy, playful puppy, I am willing to meet these needs, as each pet is different. My goal is to incorporate extra love into my care for your pet(s) so they feel fulfilled and happy at the end of the day. Animals are my passion, and caring for them makes me feel complete!
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for 6 years professionally. I love all animals and understand the importance of making sure your family members feel at home as well as making sure your trip is enjoyable and worry free. I'm friendly, hardworking, responsible and trustworthy. I work from home and currently have a 2-year-old friendly, male dog rescue named Bert who loves to play. My wife also works from home and we both are flexible with schedules and can give your pet all the attention they need and deserve. I have a fenced in backyard and have a 3 bedroom home. I can easily crate or give your pet their own space if that's what you/they prefer. We live in a safe walkable neighborhood with trail and park access.
About: I’ve cared for friends’ dogs and cats for free and for pay for the past ten years. I have yet to meet a furry friend I don’t love! I am a "hybrid" worker with a very flexible schedule. My most available time is early mornings, evenings, and weekends, but I'm also able to schedule daytime walks as needed. Please feel free to reach out about any of your pet care/pet sitting needs, for any time of day. I'm here to work with your schedule! I have the ability to care for your pet in my home or yours. I am happy to walk your pup(s) around your neighborhood or snuggle them in their favorite spots indoors. This includes your cats and other pets, too!

Gardiner Lane dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thomas is awesome with dogs, and we will definitely keep using him in the future. Our dog loves him, and we are very comfortable leaving him in Thomas's care. Thomas is very professional and clear on his plan of care and overall expectations from the beginning and sends confirmation messages/texts to make sure we are all on the same page before we leave for our trip. He does exactly what we want him to do and sends lots of pictures of our big guy while on walks and lounging around. It makes traveling so much easier when you know your pet is well taken care of while you are away.
Brittany is absolutely amazing! She is so sweet with my dogs and takes the best pictures! I have a dog who is really shy and she just spends time with him and is so patient with him. That really means the world to me because as a single person who works a ton, it breaks my heart that I can’t be with my dogs as much as I want to be but having someone to help love on my dogs and walk them really makes me feel a lot better!
Ashton was so great and super friendly. I was a little worried at first because our dog is still a puppy and jumps and gets excited on walks when she sees squirrels and birds. She sent updates and pictures. She was also okay with coming over the day before to do a meet and greet! Would recommend!
