“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful Care for Esther – Thank You, Jobe and Girlfriend! I had such a great experience with Jobe and his girlfriend on Rover! They took amazing care of my 8-month-old puppy, Esther, while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better pair to look after her. From the moment we met, they were warm, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. Esther can be a bit energetic and playful, but they handled her perfectly—keeping her active, loved, and entertained the whole time. I got regular updates with photos and videos, and it warmed my heart to see how happy she looked! When I picked her up, she was calm, healthy, and clearly had been treated like family. I’m so thankful for the love and attention they gave her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again. Thank you, Jobe and your amazing girlfriend, for taking such beautiful care of my baby girl, Esther! 🐾💛”


“Dobby had a great time when he stayed with Kelly! She gave frequent updates and I could tell she genuinely loved having him there, which made me very happy. Would definitely book again!”


“I was in town for a funeral and needed a place to board my cat. Payton was available and was able to watch him for about 8 hours. She kept him in a comfortable space away from her pets and even sent me a photo to assure me that he was adjusting to the surroundings. I would highly recommend Payton to anyone wishing to board their pet in the Northern Kentucky area.”


“Amanda was flexible by assisting us quickly after we had a sitter cancel. She was very communicative and I could see how happy and comfortable our dog was with her. We will definitely use her services again.”


“Absolutely the best dog sitter out there! She and her husband took wonderful care of our big boy and treated him like he was their own. They were very accommodating and easy to work with! Will 100% use them again for future travel!”


“My dog, Dante, had an absolute blast with Peter. He was excited to see us after vacation but was so torn about leaving and had to give Peter a final good bye. Peter gave us amazing updates and photos throughout Dante’s stay. It was our first time leaving Dante since moving to a new state but thanks to Peter, any worries were quickly done away with. If needed, we will definitely use Peter again!”


“Samantha and her family, including the furry members, are amazing and accomodating. Deja was very happy when we picked her up. Samantha sent us pictures and updates which was very nice. We will be back the next time we have to go out of town! I highly recommend her for anyone, she goes above and beyond to make sure your dog is comfortable and happy during their stay.”


About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs, and it’s something I truly enjoy. From energetic puppies to quiet senior dogs, I love getting to know each one’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or simply helping them feel safe and at home, your pup will always be treated like family with me. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and can start caring for pets as early as 7:00 am, or earlier if needed. Just let me know what time works best for you, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! Inn my cozy 2-bedroom condo, your dog will have plenty of space to relax, daily walks around my quiet, pet friendly neighborhood, and lots of cuddle time to feel loved and secure. I keep a consistent routine with fresh food and water to help your pup feel right at home

“If you want your dog to stay with a really nice family, choose Danielle! Great communication, nice fenced in yard, and lots of attention for your dog!! I will book again!!”


“Glad we met Johangely! Highly recommend. We were provided regular updates and photo's each day, including videos. It soon became clear our pet was in a safe and comfortable place. Regular walks, feeding, and playtime! Our minds were at ease knowing all was ok while we were away. Thank you!”



“Finn’s second time with Holly and he ran right inside when we dropped him off like it was his own house! He was so excited to be there and hang with Millie which makes us feel so good leaving him. Thanks again, Holly!”


“Melissa watched my Kramer who is 16yrs old and blind. She was very understanding of his condition and any issues that may have come with it. I’m very grateful for Melissa and her kids understanding.”


“Jessica and her family did a great job at watching our dog Dexsy. They gave her lots of love and responded to my messages in a timely manner. Will definitely consider booking with them again!”


“Cathy was the best choice for our 4-year old pup! She sent daily pictures and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and loved while we were away. We will definitely be using Cathy’s services again in the future! We are so thankful for her incredible care for our pup!”



“Pamela was such a great sitter for Bailey! She was flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and sent us a few photos every day she was taking care of Bailey. Bailey seemed so happy in Pamela's care, and got all of the love and attention she needed. We will definitely be using Pamela again!”
