About: With experience caring for pets of all ages, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. Whether your dog is big or small, shy or social, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I genuinely love helping out in any way I can, whether it’s a long walk, feeding time, or a quick potty break. I treat every pet like family, and I’m here to make your life easier! I’m currently only working part time with lenient hours so I’m capable of making any potty or walk schedule work for me. Im home for the summer from college and wanted to make extra cash doing something I enjoyed. I closely follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, or medical needs you provide, and I always keep a watchful eye to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and just the way you left it. I know how important trust is when someone’s caring for your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously.

About: Hi, I’m Anna, 19 years of age. I’m looking to fulfill my free time with dogs. I have previous dog sitting experience and if relevant I’ve been babysitting for the past four years and withhold caretaking traits, and understand the responsibilities that come with caring for another. I have a deep passion for all animals. I’m adaptive to knowing body language and catch signs of any disproportional behavior. Thank you! I’m currently available 24/7, which means I can easily accommodate same-day requests. I’m also more than happy to stop by as many times as needed throughout the day to make sure your pets are well taken care of. As previously mentioned I have an understanding of canine behavior and body language so I’m aware of their boundaries and trusts. I also have experience of dog sitting; the pup is still thriving today so that’s a good point :).

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. We had pets of all kinds growing up. I have a dog (border collie + blue heeler mix) and a cat (Maine coon). I have been pet sitting for four years and have experience with complex diets, nervous and excited animals, and administering medications orally and through injections. I pet sit in my free time. I usually have to ask off work to take care of animals, so two weeks notice is best. My schedule will be more open in August. I always double check locks on all doors to ensure safety for the animals and belongings in the house. I always clean messes made by animals while I am there.

About: With a 7 year old golden of my own, I love dogs at all their stages of life! Taking care of pets is something I have always loved to do. I am currently working remote 3-4 days a week, so I have some flexibility! I am also available most weekends for what you and your pet may need. When visiting a client’s home, I will ensure that I take care of everything as if it were my own. I also have a dog of my own who loves routine, so doing everything I can to ensure that your pet is comfortable and has the best experience with me as well!

About: Hi! I’m gracie, and I’m passionate about caring for dogs with patience and love. I have experience looking after all kinds of animals and always make sure to follow any special instructions or routines you provide to keep your pet happy and comfortable. I’m pretty flexible with scheduling, and truly enjoy spending time with furry friends. Please let me know any special needs or instructions for your pup. I’m here to help! This summer I am pretty free, I work at the hostipal but on my days off I am more than happy to take care of your fur babies! I am more than happy to provide care for your pets at your home as needed! I will do my best to keep your house cleanly and provide love to your pets!

About: From the time I was a baby, there has never been a moment where my family did not have any animals in the home, and my love for animals I inherited from my grandpa. I knew when I had my own home, I would also have pets. After adopting my sweet fur babies, finding a reliable and trusting pet sitter was the most important thing, and having the assurance that they were being loved on and taking care of the same way that I do was the utmost importance. After some time and consideration, I thought I could offer my services as a pet sitter and the same love and caring for other animals that I have for mine, as well as offering the peace of mind pet parents need when trusting another to watch their beloved pets. I have personal experience with different breeds of dogs from big to small as well as cats, and have had animals from puppy/kitten stage to old age. My Fila girl completed 4 levels of training at Tri-State K9 University as her background was unknown when I fostered (and later adopted her), but though her behavior it was clear she had been through a rough time and suffered from fear and anxiety. With patience, love, and training she blossomed out of her shell and out came the sweet, playful girl I knew she truly was. I know some animals need extra care and handling in order to trust someone, which is why I know having the best pet sitter is so important and want to bring my love, experience, and patience to you and your beloved pets. I am mostly available early mornings and evening, but I am willing to work with you to find the best schedule to care for your animal(s). My sweet Fila can be picky with her canine friends, so I will not be able to provide services in my home but I am happy to take your dog on walks around your neighborhood, a nearby park, and play a game of fetch (or whatever your animal prefers) in your yard. I also have a wonderful fiance and stepchildren who would also love to help provide extra love and hugs to your animal(s) if allowed.

About: I've been working in this field since 2013 and love caring for all animals! I graduated vet school in 2022 and with my Masters in Public Health in 2023. I travel a lot for work (mostly in the winter) but I work from home when I'm not traveling and am hoping to get out of the house more! I live in an apartment so I typically will not be able to bring other's pets there. I have years of experience pet sitting in my client's homes where most pets are happiest and most comfortable.


About: Hey there! I am Kristin and after an extended time away from Rover I am back and ready to do the job I have always loved doing... taking care of animals! Just a little backstory on me: It has always been my dream to be able to love on animals so I made that happen. I worked at the Towne Square Pet Resort, which is a boarding facility for dogs and cats. I gained lots of experience caring for fur babies during my time there. After going off to college, I worked at the Western Kentucky University Horse Barn caring for quarter horses while pursuing my degree, a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with an emphasis in Animal Science. I have since graduated, and started my own family and hobby farm. We have had dogs, sheep, goats, turkeys, ducks, guineas and LOTS of chickens. When I say I love taking care of animals, I absolutely mean it! I have volunteered my time with several pet rescues in the area and did job shadows at local vet clinics. Animals are my passion in life, they always have been! I previously was a dog sitter offering boarding in my home and had lots of great reviews. I am looking to do mostly drop ins right now but will consider boarding on a case by case basis. I do work full time so I am hoping to be available to drop in/walk on my lunch or right after work. I know this will limit me but I have hopes that this can work for some so please don't hesitate to reach out to me and see if we can make a plan work! I work full time but do have plenty of time off. I am hoping to drop in on my lunch or after work. On my days off/weekends I am much more flexible. I know animals can struggle being away from the people they love so when I drop in I will play/walk/feed your pet and give lots of lovings and reassurance until their owner can be with them.

“Returned communication quickly. Asked questions to get to know my pets. Updated me as the visit was happening.”


“Nathalie is great. 5 stars. Highly recommend.”


“Whitney did a wonderful job watching our 2 cats. It was so nice to come home knowing they had been well taken care of and their area completely cleaned. Thank you so much for caring for our cats, Whitney! We’ll be repeat customers!”


About: I have cared for our family dogs since I was a child. I currently have my own dog and love to spoil him by taking him on long hikes, giving him new treats, and taking him to our family's farm to run I’m currently working as a nurse so I have a few days off each week. I spend multiple days a week going on walks for hours and going to our family farm to exercise my dog. I have a fenced in back yard I have a friendly dog at home I have an extra kennel to crate your dog I have extra toys and treats for your dogs to share

About: I am a natural at caring for and nurturing dogs which I have had since I was 3. Caring for them is a joy and a blessing. They will be pampered as if they were mine. I've taken care of puppies as well as elderly including those who need medication and special needs. I stay at home full time so there is no worry about separation anxiety or on time potty breaks. They also get plenty of exercise as needed as well as affection. I have 2 nearby dog parks, one within walking distance that I use. I have 2 yorkies that love other dogs and my home is theirs. They are welcome anywhere in my home. I do go by my middle name which is GAIL. Thank you!

“I really appreciate Savannah and have asked her to be my cat sitter in the future! Savannah is kind and considerate and did a great job watching my cats when I was away. She sent me pictures of my kitties, like I asked for, and she appraised me of their behavior when I was gone. I have confidence in her and I am happy that she is watching my babies when I am away. I have only positive things to say about her! ??⬛”


About: Hello, my name is Olivia and I love dogs! I have enjoyed taking care of dogs ever since I was little because they always put me in a good mood. I am a responsible college graduate who will primarily be home in Owensboro. I clean up after myself and am on time. I am also a very active person, so I can walk dogs multiple times every day. I've owned and taken care of 4 dogs with my family, and I have experience caring for multiple sizes, breeds, and personalities. My schedule is open and flexible mostly on weekends (some availability during the week), so I will be able to work or check in majority of the time during the coming months. I’m home most of the time on weekends and occasionally during the weekdays. I work a full time job during the week but I get breaks, so I have free time to check in on any dogs in my care! I stay with dogs most of the time I’m sitting them. I go on regular walks, so they’d get plenty of exercise. I make sure to make dogs as comfortable and happy as possible while their owners are away.

About: My partner and I have had dogs and cats our whole lives so we have lots of experience between the two of us to provide your pet with the best care. We both work 7:30am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday. We are available every evening after work. We have a little bit of room for flexibility if you need a midday check in. We have a large fenced in yard with a park directly behind us. We also have a cat and two friendly energetic female golden retrievers to keep your dog company. I work in office 3 days a week and from home 2 days a week but my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate your pets needs through the day. We have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around in and as well as a park within walking distance if they want to do some exploring.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10. That includes outside and inside pets. I can train dogs on basic commands using positive reinforcement. I also ensure all dogs will get a nice walk and frequent bathroom breaks outside. I'm home full time taking care of a 2 year old girl. I also teach private music lessons through the week in the afternoons and tutor in mathematics at our residence. I'm always at home doing house chores and taking care of my health by daily exercising and healthy eating. I love getting the opportunity to take care of pets and always treat them like my own; they never cease to put a smile on my face! We no longer offer boarding and daycare services at our home. However we still offer drop in visits, walks, and house sitting. We make sure to clean up after ourselves and any mess with toys, laundry, trash, dishes we may make at your residence. As for your fur babies, we will give them lots of love, attention and fun in the sun! We enjoy getting to learn each and every dog’s personality quirks, they never cease to put a smile on our faces!
