About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who can’t wait to care for your pets like they’re my own. I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with their dogs, cats, and other small pets, including hamsters, birds, fish, and even chickens! I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits. Whether your pup needs a good walk or your cat just wants some company and playtime, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m always happy to follow any special instructions to keep them comfortable and happy. I also have one cat, Desi Jr., my little bestie of eight years. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet during the day, the evenings and over the weekends! I have a very flexible schedule, so I am happy to make time for what works best for your schedule. I can come to your home for drop-in visits, following any and all preferences your pet may have for meals and treats. I’m happy to take dogs on a walk on their preferred route, whether that’s around the block or to a park.
“Tara is wonderful! She has been weekly walking our giant goof of a dog, Jolene, for almost an entire year. Tara provides great updates, photos and always gives Jolene extra belly rubs.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so taking care of them truly feels second nature to me. I’m calm, and patient and I take the time to figure out what each dog needs to feel relaxed and happy. I treat every dog I watch like they’re mine, giving them the same care and attention I give my own. I can help puppies get settled and comfortable in a new environment, and I give senior dogs the extra care and love they need. I recently moved into a house with a secure yard, so dogs staying with me have access to a safe outdoor space. Pet care is already apart of my daily routine. I take care of my own dog by feeding her, taking her out for long walks, and giving her plenty of attention. I love spending time with animals and making sure they’re well cared for. I make sure every pet in my care feels safe and comfortable weather in my home or theirs. I pay attention to their personality and what they need and make a happy space for them while there owners are away.
“Eleanor continues to provide meaningful care on my Zeke dog’s weekly walks and seamless communication surrounding all walks. We are grateful and happy to have her in our lives - as will you!”
“Emily is my first dog walker and so good! She treats my dog with lots of attention and praise during her walk times. I LOVE the pics and videos, which make me feel like part of me is there”

“Magdalana took amazing care of my Chance! She was super responsive and helpful with accommodating my schedule. She is a great help if you are in town for a conference and need a hand with your pup! Chance loves her and would love to have her walk him again when we come back to Louisville!”

“Olivia is excellent! She had very thorough updates and communication each day with our pet. She took her time to care for him as if he were her own dog. She sent lots of pictures which we loved. Highly recommend!”

About: I have years of experience providing reliable and passionate pet care for all ages and sizes. I am also experienced in puppy training, senior care, and providing medication if needed. I take the utmost care to ensure that your pup's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I work from home so I am flexible in that regard. I can take my work around any space if needed and work around your schedule. I clean up after pets thoroughly as well as provide them with lots of potty breaks and exercise. I never have them meet new dogs for their safety.
About: Taking care of pets is not just a responsibility—it’s my passion! Whether it’s long walks, fun playtime, or lots of cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a hybrid work schedule that lets me work remotely half the week. On the days I go into the office, typically Monday through Wednesday, I can easily return home during lunch since my office is just a few minutes away. I have a cozy home with a fenced-in patio and it’s located just minutes away from several beautiful parks. At home, I share my space with my sweet cat, Nagini. If needed, I’m happy to keep your pet comfortably separate to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease.

I am available for check ins and walks at any time of the day. Due to restrictions on my lease, I cannot host at this time.

About: I have had fur babies all my life. From puppy stage to senior care. They are truly part of the family. I look forwards to loving on yours I have the please of working from home, fitting your pet into my daily routine would be identical to how I am able to send time with my own. I have a huge fenced in yard. I have one fur baby he is a bernedoodle who is turning two at the end of this year. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys the company. So I am able to provide each pet with the love they need I have very limited space on how many dogs I will keep at once. If your pet enjoys walks, we will go on walks, enjoy fetch in the backyard, we will play fetch in the back yard. Your pet is part of my family once you guys enter my home. I do have children who love to run around with animals also.
“Janelle was the kindest, sweetest walker! Although I wasn't home at the time, my mom said Janelle noticed Xylo had a lot of energy, and automatically started running with her!! I loved how in tune she was with her!! Highly recommended!!”

About: My beloved family dog passed away right before COVID and left a animal shaped hole in my heart. I’ve been watching dogs ever since and love enjoying all their different personalities. If you’re looking for someone to absolutely love on your pet, I’m your gal. I’m extremely flexible and understand that everyone prefers to raise their pets differently and I will respect all those needs during my time with your pet. I am open to most any accommodations needed. I love going on walks, runs, and hikes with the active dogs but I also LOVE being cozy in the house with sleepier pets. At the end of the day I’m just a girl that wants to love on your pet as much as you do! I am a local graphic designer. I have the convenient ability to work from home when desired so my weekday and weekend schedule is flexible. I live in a home without a fenced in backyard but am in walking distance to a park. I do live with my boyfriend and he is always begging me to watch more dogs so he will provide extra EXTRA loving on top of my own. As for house sitting I always respect your space and always try to leave it better than when I came.

About: I have an excellent, warm, and inviting home in which I would happily watch your dog while you travel. I'm a writer and vo artist who mostly works from home, so your dog won't be lonely; that's for sure. In addition, I take an hour long walk in Audubon Park every single day, so if your dog is up to it, he/she will get plenty of healthy exercise. And for those that aren't able to make the big walk, we do smaller little walks in the neighborhood plenty of times per day. I love dogs, and would care for yours as if it were my own, so please don't hesitate if you have any specific questions for me, and thank you for giving me a look! ~Matt *Please note that I have relocated to Kentucky from California so please enjoy these pics from my previous home, filled with my furry friends. I mostly work from home, so your pet will not be lonely. Spending a lot of time at home, I really enjoy the company of dogs. I go on walks throughout the day and try to keep a calm environment filled with routine. I follow what the pet needs at the direction of the owner.
Highland Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Bayley is a fantastic dog sitter! Honestly I cannot say enough great things about her! My pup loves her so much, she communicates and keeps you updated on pet, and she has really helped me out it moment when I really needed a sitter! HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!
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.
