About: I am a runner in my spare time and love dogs. Thought this would be a good way to get a little extra practice in. I walk/run with my Aussie all the time! My Aussie walks or runs with me most days. I also have had 4 other dogs in my life. All different breeds and sizes. I love being outside and having an excuse to exercise in a fun way. My current dog Heidi is leash trained and off leash trained. I take it very seriously and have put her through training as I have done with all of my dogs. The same skills will be used when your dogs are in my care.
About: I currently have a 9.5 year old Chihuahua rescue, Tito, who is a very high maintenance boy! I am experienced in giving your dogs ("babies") of all ages the absolute best! I am a CPA currently transitioning into a new full-time job, so I have a lot of free time to dive into my real passion, which is taking care of and working with dogs. I am available any hours of the day from 7am-9pm. I am available to come into your home and visit, play, and walk your dogs as needed and make sure they are entertained so you do not have to worry.
“Hannah did a great job and sent us some great photos of the pups on her visit! Gave us the ability to enjoy our day without worrying about the dogs!”
“Blake did a great job checking on our cats while we were away! He was even able to help with the inhaler for our cat with asthma and feed our bearded dragon. Would definitely recommend Blake!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Payton was amazing! She communicated well and was so sweet. Plus, my dogs absolutely loved her! 🩷 I will definitely be booking her again for future trips. 😊”
“Amelia is great!! She sent updates and pictures during my busy trip. I’m so glad I tried out Rover because my old anxious dog does better in the comfort of her own home than at a boarding facility.”
“Hailey always takes the best care of our dogs! She always follows instructions and my dogs adore her and come back happy and well cared for 🥰 she really loves animals and goes out of her way to make sure our pets receive top notch care”
About: As a pet sitter, my greatest joy comes from the wagging tails and purrs of contentment I receive from the animals in my care. Each pet is unique, and I take pride in understanding their individual needs and personalities. Whether it's a playful pup who loves fetch or a cuddly cat who enjoys a good nap, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. Knowing that I can provide peace of mind to pet parents and a comfortable environment for their furry friends is what makes pet sitting so rewarding for me. I am freshly graduated from empire beauty cosmetology school. I now work in a restaurant so I have mornings and early afternoons available and nights. I have 2 dogs at home and used to have a cat. Everyday it is my duty to feed, water, and play with my pups to keep them happy and healthy, and I can do the same for yours!
About: Hi, I’m Sarah, a lifelong animal lover and dependable pet sitter/walker who treats every pet like family. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers a quiet cuddle, I tailor my care to their unique needs and personality. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always focused on safety, comfort, and joy. From daily walks and playtime to medication and meal routines, I make sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. I also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you never have to wonder how your furry friend is doing. With experience in caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, I provide a calm, confident presence you (and your pet) can trust. My goal is to make every visit or walk feel like a little burst of happiness for your pet. Let’s make tails wag and hearts happy! 🐾 I’m currently a part-time student studying Logistics and Supply Chain Management, and I also work as a bartender. While I balance both school and work, I maintain a flexible schedule and am able to adjust my availability as needed. I’m highly organized and manage my time well, which allows me to stay committed and dependable in all my responsibilities. I always treat animals in my home with love, patience, and respect. Whether it’s my own pets or ones I’m caring for, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. With my experience at the shelter, working for a groomer, and raising my own pets, I’ve learned how to understand their needs and provide a calm, nurturing environment. Giving animals the attention, care, and affection they deserve is something I take to heart every day.
About: Hello There! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages - from playful puppies and kittens to wise and gentle seniors. Whether your fur baby is in need of lots of playtime, a gentle approach and/or a calm presence, I tailor my care to fit their unique needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and energy levels and I’ve cared for pets with special needs including administering oral and topical treatments (no injectable experience). I’m also obsessed with healthy and hygienic environments for pets, so light duty cleaning for pet related messes and pet areas is considered a standard and a must for pets in my care. I understand the importance of sticking to routines and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved and well cared for while you’re away! Your pets health and happiness are paramount to me and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’m the mom of zero human children, and have three adopted fur babies: Jax (18), Bean (4), and Peanut (1). I’d love to meet you and your pet! My current work schedule is 8AM-5PM Monday- Friday so I am NOT available during those hours. But free before and after those hours during the week and free all weekend. Free to drop in early mornings and evenings, can manage midday stops depending on pet needs and available to your furry friends on weekends. Open to all of your pet needs, but can spend time outdoors with pets, taking walks or to local parks, playing with pets, etc. can carry up to 45 pounds. Light duty cleaning for pet areas and pet related messes including vomit or “accidents” that can sometimes be associated with young and older pets, and for hygienic pet areas, like where they sleep and eat and use the restroom normally (litter box clean up, scoop poops in yard, etc.): cleaning and disinfecting area, sweeping and vacuuming, washing pet bowls and fountains, etc. Can provide own supplies for cleaning if needed. Cannot currently sit pets in my own home due to my senior pets advanced age (18), but willing to transport pets to dog parks, etc upon request.
About: I used to babysit all my friends dogs when they went out of town for weeks at a time and the dogs were always in good hands! Potty breaks, new toys, baths if needed! I treat them like my own! Im currently working full time, but im able to do walks or visits after work or full time on the weekends! I'm also in college, but I do it all online, so I have lots of free time on the weekends. I love going the extra mile for every dog as if they’re my own! I love tiring out dogs and ensuring they have the most fun possible because they definitely deserve it!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and I can’t imagine my life without them. I love dogs of all breeds and ages :) I work in the schools in the Northern Kentucky area so I will have some availability over the summer! I’m also typically available on weekends I can easily crate your dog. I can easily and safely take them for walks. I love playing with fur babies and keeping them entertained
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals for many years. I've gravitated towards animals as long as I can remember, and have always seeked experience wherever I can. I have walked, animal sat, full groomed, bathed, and more! Anything that I haven't done, I'm always willing to learn! I currently go to college and live on campus! During the summer months I am home and have lots of time to work with your pets! My schedule is relatively open through July and fairly flexible come August!

Hailey is the best! We always request her because she is so wonderful to our dogs and really takes care of them. She is very responsible too! Thanks Hailey!!
Courtney is awesome. She cared for our elderly fur baby while we were out of town. She was so caring and patience with Piper, it was amazing. She always provided us updates and pictures. Pipers health issues and age were definitely a challenge and Courtney stepped up and handled things wonderfully.
