About: I've been around dogs and animals my entire life. My oldest dog has been with me since I was 17 so she's going on 13 years old. I have a 5 year old Great Dane and German Australian mix that I've had since puppies. I'm great at teaching puppies sit, lay down, and recalling. (I'm not a professional by no means) I raised an elder iguana for 6 years before she passed, I grew up with cats of all personalities, and rabbits. I'm not shy or jittery of reptiles, amphibians, spiders or other insects. I work a very flexible work from home job that allows me to step away any time that I need. I can guarantee that your pet will not be alone for more than 4 hours Mon to Fri and Saturday and Sunday I usually have open availability I'm calm, I know stress signals in dogs and cats, I will meet with your animals at their own pace. I will follow any care instructions you have left and I will clean up any found accidents (puppies and other non house broke animals or elderly) including if their crates need cleaned as long as the supplies are easily found without me needing to open cabinets (on a counter or table) I always avoid people and other animals on walks to minimize all risks. I'm very careful when opening door in case someone decides to run, and I don't mind getting during/slobbered on

“Raye is awesome. She took great care of the dogs and I could tell she really loves dogs. She made sure their needs were met and gave them some extra love and attention. I will definitely recommend and use her services again.”


“Faith has watched my cat a few times and done a wonderful job. The house and everything that went into caring for my cat was above and beyond. I didn’t have to do anything when we got home which is nice after being gone a week or two. I would highly recommend Faith and will definitely request her in the future.”


“Amanda has been a life saver for me and my special needs dog, Booker. Booker is extremely nervous and wary of strangers so finding a dog walker has always been a challenge. Amanda was willing to work with us and was patient and calm with Booker. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and was able to earn Booker’s trust within a week. Now she is able to come daily and walk him while I work 12 hr shifts. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone needing drop in visits or walks for their pets. Friendly and professional.”


About: Hey there! I am Kristin and after an extended time away from Rover I am back and ready to do the job I have always loved doing... taking care of animals! Just a little backstory on me: It has always been my dream to be able to love on animals so I made that happen. I worked at the Towne Square Pet Resort, which is a boarding facility for dogs and cats. I gained lots of experience caring for fur babies during my time there. After going off to college, I worked at the Western Kentucky University Horse Barn caring for quarter horses while pursuing my degree, a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with an emphasis in Animal Science. I have since graduated, and started my own family and hobby farm. We have had dogs, sheep, goats, turkeys, ducks, guineas and LOTS of chickens. When I say I love taking care of animals, I absolutely mean it! I have volunteered my time with several pet rescues in the area and did job shadows at local vet clinics. Animals are my passion in life, they always have been! I previously was a dog sitter offering boarding in my home and had lots of great reviews. I am looking to do mostly drop ins right now but will consider boarding on a case by case basis. I do work full time so I am hoping to be available to drop in/walk on my lunch or right after work. I know this will limit me but I have hopes that this can work for some so please don't hesitate to reach out to me and see if we can make a plan work! I work full time but do have plenty of time off. I am hoping to drop in on my lunch or after work. On my days off/weekends I am much more flexible. I know animals can struggle being away from the people they love so when I drop in I will play/walk/feed your pet and give lots of lovings and reassurance until their owner can be with them.

“I needed some last minute help with my Vinny. Hannah and Kayla messaged right back and were ready to help out. Came through. Took care of my pup. We’re in contact the whole time with texts and pics. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. Will be my first contact the next time I need someone to watch Vinny.”


“Returned communication quickly. Asked questions to get to know my pets. Updated me as the visit was happening.”


“Whitney did a wonderful job watching our 2 cats. It was so nice to come home knowing they had been well taken care of and their area completely cleaned. Thank you so much for caring for our cats, Whitney! We’ll be repeat customers!”


About: I have cared for our family dogs since I was a child. I currently have my own dog and love to spoil him by taking him on long hikes, giving him new treats, and taking him to our family's farm to run I’m currently working as a nurse so I have a few days off each week. I spend multiple days a week going on walks for hours and going to our family farm to exercise my dog. I have a fenced in back yard I have a friendly dog at home I have an extra kennel to crate your dog I have extra toys and treats for your dogs to share

“I really appreciate Savannah and have asked her to be my cat sitter in the future! Savannah is kind and considerate and did a great job watching my cats when I was away. She sent me pictures of my kitties, like I asked for, and she appraised me of their behavior when I was gone. I have confidence in her and I am happy that she is watching my babies when I am away. I have only positive things to say about her! ??⬛”


“Super sweet! Took GREAT care of my girls. 100% recommend!”


About: Hello, my name is Olivia and I love dogs! I have enjoyed taking care of dogs ever since I was little because they always put me in a good mood. I am a responsible college graduate who will primarily be home in Owensboro. I clean up after myself and am on time. I am also a very active person, so I can walk dogs multiple times every day. I've owned and taken care of 4 dogs with my family, and I have experience caring for multiple sizes, breeds, and personalities. My schedule is open and flexible mostly on weekends (some availability during the week), so I will be able to work or check in majority of the time during the coming months. I’m home most of the time on weekends and occasionally during the weekdays. I work a full time job during the week but I get breaks, so I have free time to check in on any dogs in my care! I stay with dogs most of the time I’m sitting them. I go on regular walks, so they’d get plenty of exercise. I make sure to make dogs as comfortable and happy as possible while their owners are away.

I have crates if your pet needs one. I have super friendly dogs myself. I rescued one from a puppy mill. My kids are also animal lovers like me. I have taught them all how to approach animals, how to be nice, not to be rough around them. I have a tie out, outside if needed as well!

I’m also familiar with caring for chickens, fish, and other small animals. I tailor each visit to your pet’s specific needs and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I take pride in creating a safe, clean, and stress-free environment for all pets in their own homes. I follow care routines closely, including administering meds or special diets when needed. I'm experienced with multi-pet households and have worked with dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and more.

About: Hi! My name is Taylor. I absolutely love dogs and I have been around dogs my entire life. I live in a 3 bedroom house with my husband and 3 children. We have a German Shepherd named Ace and a Great Dane named Samson; they are very friendly and would love to make new friends! I am a stay at home mom so I can stay at my home or travel to your home and take care of your dog. I am willing to walk your dog or do anything to make your dog's stay special! About this sitter: Hi!

I am available at all times and I have a very flexible schedule. I hope to have lots of fun with your dog! Why I love dog sitting I have been around dogs my entire life. I have had both large and small dogs. About my yard Our family owns 13 acres. We have a lake on our property. Our home is not close to the road and we live in the country so there’s not a lot of traffic on the road. Our yard is not fenced in but your dog will not be left alone if it is outside. I will keep your dog on a leash at all times if that is what you prefer. We just moved to this property and built our home a few months ago and putting up a fence is one of our plans in the future. My experience administering medication I, myself, have had to give medication to my dogs many times so I am very comfortable with administering medication.
