“Sarah went above and beyond to take care of our 3 cats while we were out. She also possesses a magical quality that brought one of our VERY shy cats out of hiding! I am extremely thankful that someone as caring and reliable as Sarah was able to look after our cats.”
“We have used Kumiko on a couple occasions to drop in our Boston Terrier crew. Kumiko is quick to respond, very friendly, and great with communication. She makes sure to address any of our concerns and sends lots of photos of the pups when she stops by. Most recently she was great with our 10wk old puppy who we had only had a few days. Always great to have someone close by who can take good care of our pack---definitely recommend Kumiko.”
“Allison has watched our cats twice now while we are out of town and has been wonderful each time. She keeps everything tidy, makes sure they’re fed and have fresh water, and always sends updates and photos after each visit. It’s such a comfort knowing our cats are in good hands while we’re away!”
“Tara is awesome! She offered to do a meet and greet before our trip, provided detailed (and fun!) updates on our kitties, and was very communicative overall! We will definitely ask her to watch our girls again 😸”

“Best Sitter. I literally had to get her last minute and she was so quick to help. She treated my puppy so well and even cleaned up a mess we made. I recommend her to everyone as she goes above and beyond. Definitely will be reaching out to her again!”

About: I have been taking care of others dogs since I was twelve years old and would walk to the neighbors house to let their dogs out and occasionally walk them. I have cared for all ages of dogs and all breeds. I have house sat for up to a month at a time as well as walking dogs almost every day for years now. I am currently a student at University of Louisville and have class Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I can provide exact class times upon request. I am also a member of the equestrian team but only have one mandatory practice a week that can change day and time according to my availability. On top of that I am also in a sorority but my only weekly requirement for that is a 7pm meeting every Sunday. I have two dogs of my own back home and have been caring for others dogs for many years. I am able to crate a dog if needed or leave them out. I can have had to medicate dogs before and never have a problem with it. I have also delt with a variety of personalities in dogs, weather that's shy or over excited.
“This was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous, but Rhiannon was super helpful and did everything I asked (and more)!!! I can tell Max absolutely loved her. Will definitely rebook her in the future!!”
“Katherine dropped in on our 2 cats while we were away. She was a great sitter. We looked forward to her updates and photos.”
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
