About: I am a doctoral candidate in Biology at UofL, so you know I'm good at organization and scheduling! I think my time as a graduate student has sharpened my reasoning and communication skills as well. It's also increased my animal handling experience (mice)! I've had pets my whole life, mostly cats and dogs. My most recent pet is an elderly shi tzu with a surprising amount of energy! Apollo is a very skiddish cat, but we've definitely earned each others' trust. I can drop by to check on your pet, take them out for a walk (if weekday, must be before 10am or after 5pm, can be flexible), check on them periodically to feed them, or house sit (weekends only). I am a grad student, so I'm usually busy during weekdays 10am-5pm. Most of my work now is away from the bench, so I can be a little flexible about those hours Weekends are generally open! I love in an apartment that doesn't allow animals so I can't keep any here. I can however watch your furry friend at your house or take them on walks around the neighborhood!
“Winnie looked like she was loving her walk! Oliver responded really quickly to requests, was quite communicative and I loved the photos! (I hav a hard time getting good ones of her.) Thanks, Oliver!”
“Kat is amazing! She is prompt, responsible, communicates well, and is great with my dog. She consistently brings him back well exercised and happy! Highly recommend! I am grateful to have found her and feel pretty lucky—and my dog feels the same!”
“awhh!!! she eased me nerves so good! she spent the extra time with my baby letting her play and get to know her!! my dog has a ton of anxiety and they are besties now!! so pleased with this experience!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and I have been pet/house sitting for about 10 years. I have always had pets and been around all different kinds of animals. I just graduated from law school, I started my new job post law school. I do work in an office, but I am able to stop in and make sure your animal is taken care of. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of a pet at your home. I am happy to walk a dog on a leash, let them out to play, play with them, take them to a dog park.
“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog! She is always on time, gives us updates on the walks, and helps adjust to anything we might need for that particular day regarding the dog's needs. I would trust her with my dog any time!”
About: I’ve had over 20 pets growing up, from dogs, hamsters, ferrets, you name it. I have lots of experience working with animals, including lots of training caring for animals and building fast-strong bonds. Im an educator with early mornings that allow me ample time in the early afternoons and evenings to care for you pet. My schedule is pretty flexible and able to fit around your pet sitting needs when giving proper notice. I can also be available for quick dog walks and check ins everyday of the week. I have my own dog, Onyx who is able to roam free unless I leave the house and will offer the same freedom to your dog. We live in a great neighborhood with other friendly pet owners and provide a great route for nice long walks to enjoy the weather. I can also crate or fence in your pet if needed as well.
“Lauran was fantastic while I was visiting Louisville for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby weekend. Her communication was top notch, always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the two days. I especially appreciated her flexibility when I needed to add an extra walk at the last minute, she was incredibly accommodating and handled it without any issues. It’s a huge relief to find someone so reliable and easy to work with when you're visiting another city for an event. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and adaptable walker!”
About: I've had pets since I was a child: dogs, cats, birds, fish, all kinds of animals. I love animals. I've rescued many from homeless and abandoned homes. Now I want to take care of that loved one so you can rest easy while you work or vacation. I have a fenced yard and my neighborhood is quiet. I'm currently home all day, so I'll be able to devote a lot of time to the pets. I have a baby who will just turn one, so it's important that they be friendly and calm pets. I live in a house with a large, quiet yard. They can sunbathe and play. I can take care of oral medications. Nothing serious, please.
“Amanda was a God send! Even when my wrong address was in the system and she went to that house first, she went back to our ACTUAL house to take care of our girls. We were so thankful!”
About: Send me a message to walk and care for your dog. I have a Blue Heeler so I know about energetic dogs!!! I can take your dog in a walk or even help with potty breaks. I can do a regular weekly schedule or just as needed - let me know! I typically need at least 24 hours notice to schedule your service. Care in your home is preferred just let me know a little about your dog to tailor my visit to their need. Walks, fetch, treats…
About: I have grown up around dogs all my life and have had many experiences with them. I have raised rescued dogs and puppies and I have enjoyed every minute. I am an avid believer in making sure dogs get the proper understanding and care they deserve! I am loving and supportive, and I also enjoy training. I enjoy being outdoors and going for walks on trails and in the city. I also love just being inside on a lazy day to cuddle with my dogs. I have the most experience with small to medium sized dogs, but am willing to care for any dog that needs someone to look after them while you are working or away. I will love your dog like he/she is my own! I am currently in school and don’t have a set schedule. I can usually work something out to make sure we can meet your needs! I am reliable and will be happy to spend time which your dog while you’re away. I will always do my best to make sure you feel comfortable leaving your pup with me!
“Lauren is amazing! I have two dogs, a senior and a puppy, that have different needs. She worked with me to plan their walks and communicated wonderfully. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Lauren to help take care of your fur babies!!!”
About: I have owned dogs and cats for the past 14 years and every single one has been spoiled and shown unconditional love. If your fur baby has any medical conditions or is recovering from surgery, I’ll assist anyway I can to make sure they are comfortable. As my animals have aged, I’ve experienced my fare share of nonstop watching, carrying and cleaning so the task is not a negative. I will make sure you feel the least stress possible. Whether it’s long walks, runs, just playtime or cuddles - your fur baby will be taken care of with an extra eye. If there are any special requests regarding your dog/cat, don’t be afraid to ask! I am here to assist you in whatever way I can. Thank you! I have a flexible daily and weekly routine, which allows me to visit pets during mornings, afternoons or evenings. I can easily fit walks, playtime, feeding and cuddles around my schedule and I prioritize being consistent and attentive so pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and loved whether I’m visiting their home or caring for them at mine. I provide attention, playtime, walks, feeding and cuddles! I follow any special instructions the owner provides. I always keep a close eye on their needs and make sure they’re happy and stress-free while in my care.

Ryan is absolutely amazing! I honestly couldn't ask for better care for my dog. He is reliable, super communicative, and pays special attention to my dog’s needs. My baby girl gets so excited when Ryan arrives! I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker."
We could not have felt more at ease with Grace taking care of our pup! She was very conscious of our pups nervousness around strangers, and took great care to get to know her and make her feel comfortable! We are so happy to have found a reliable and kind new friend for our dog!
From the very beginning, Fatima went above and beyond with my dog. I’ve worked with other sitters before, but none came close to the level of care and attention she gave. My dog wasn’t feeling well while I was away, and she handled everything with such kindness and responsibility. Even though he’s usually shy with new people, she patiently earned his trust until he was completely comfortable by her side. She kept me reassured with constant updates, photos, and thoughtful messages. Fatima is the kind of sitter every pet owner hopes to find, and I’d recommend her in a heartbeat!
