Olivia was tasked with visiting and walking our dog while we were on vacation. She was consistently on time, extremely good with communication and obviously has a lot of passion for animals and this shows in the care that she provided for our dog Raya. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Olivia was checking in on her. We will book her again for sure!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old! Between looking after my own dog and my family's, I have the experience and love to make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve! I'm a middle school teacher in the Louisville area, so weekends are the best for house sitting and longer watching periods! During the weekday afternoons, I would love to help check in, play with your pup, or give them a nice long walk! Communication is the most important thing. I will always follow the wishes of the owner to make sure your pets are cared for in the most consistent way possible. Your boundaries are mine, and I always act in the best interest of you and your pets!

Janelle was the kindest, sweetest walker! Although I wasn't home at the time, my mom said Janelle noticed Xylo had a lot of energy, and automatically started running with her!! I loved how in tune she was with her!! Highly recommended!!

About: My beloved family dog passed away right before COVID and left a animal shaped hole in my heart. I’ve been watching dogs ever since and love enjoying all their different personalities. If you’re looking for someone to absolutely love on your pet, I’m your gal. I’m extremely flexible and understand that everyone prefers to raise their pets differently and I will respect all those needs during my time with your pet. I am open to most any accommodations needed. I love going on walks, runs, and hikes with the active dogs but I also LOVE being cozy in the house with sleepier pets. At the end of the day I’m just a girl that wants to love on your pet as much as you do! I am a local graphic designer. I have the convenient ability to work from home when desired so my weekday and weekend schedule is flexible. I live in a home without a fenced in backyard but am in walking distance to a park. I do live with my boyfriend and he is always begging me to watch more dogs so he will provide extra EXTRA loving on top of my own. As for house sitting I always respect your space and always try to leave it better than when I came.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting dogs and cats since my early teens. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including diabetic dogs requiring insulin injections, blind dogs, pets with seizures, and dogs with mobility and potty issues. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra patience and attention to senior pets or those needing specialized care. I’ve also fostered dogs and cats through my local shelter, caring for everything from puppies and kittens learning the ropes to senior dogs needing diapers and additional support. My experience fostering has helped me become adaptable, calm, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, Murphy and Lucky, they are my whole heart and I love every pet I care as if they were part of my family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work overnight shifts from 9pm–5am, Monday-Friday, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule. I’m able to adjust my sleep schedule as needed, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care. In my home, I do my best to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, cared for, and entertained. I have a fully fenced-in yard that backs up to a park, which gives dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a separate guest room available if an owner prefers their pet to have their own quiet space during their stay with us. I understand that every pet has different routines and comfort levels, so I try to keep their schedule as consistent as possible with feeding times, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I’m happy to accommodate senior pets, puppies, and pets with medical or mobility needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping up with their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I always treat both pets and homes with respect and care, and I know how important communication and reliability are while you’re away from your pets. I love to send parent’s updates on their babies and we can work out details on how frequently you would like pictures sent!

I have an old and sensitive GSD that I am normally very protective over; I had to leave her for a week and the whole time I felt my dog was completely safe and attended to in Kathryn's hands. She provided meaningful updates and expressed genuine affection, support, and care for my animal. I would definitely have her care for my dog again.

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from small breed seniors to high-energy breeds. Jinger (My own pup) is a 6-year-old Female Malinois-Lab mix, so I’m especially familiar with energetic dogs who need structure, attention, and enrichment to thrive.  Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, rescues, and dogs with unique needs—including leash reactivity, anxiety, and medical routines. The wonderful folks at Southside pet shop had taught me Animal Husbandry by the book (literally). During my time there I had taken care of a wide variety of pets in a professional setting. I comfortable caring cats, and exotic pets too- I am more than at home in a multi-pet household.  I ALWAYS approach every pet with patience and empathy. I understand that every animal is different, so I change my care-style (never quality!) to match their needs—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles or medical needs.  If you need drop-in visits, house sitting, or just someone to give your dog an afternoon potty break, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and loved. You can expect daily updates and plenty of photos, Rest assured! Pet sitting is my full-time profession and passion, alongside my work as a freelance artist. I have professional experience in animal husbandry; I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy doing both traditional and digital art; my favorite are pet portraits! If there is downtime while I am petsitting, I’m usually doing art! In both my own home and when caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owners instructions, because I understand this routine is in place to keep them comfortable, and healthy. This includes using toys, treats and games to make their day rewarding and fun. Maintaining a clean environment is a top priority; food and water bowls are washed regularly and I always make sure each pet is fed according to their specified guidelines.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid! I grew up with them. This is something I would enjoy. New to the city I work full time but it’s something can do my off days the weekends or holidays I am working full time so anytime during the weekends or holidays I am available so let me know what works best. I’m still new here. I think it all depends from each pet. There is always different ways of taking care of a pet as well as the clients needs.

About: Hi! I’m Raven, a reliable, caring pet sitter who treats every dog and cat like family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously every single visit. In my care, your pet will receive: 🐾 Personalized attention based on their personality and routine 🐾 Safe, supervised playtime and regular potty breaks (for dogs) 🐾 Calm, stress-free care for cats with respect for their space 🐾 Walks, enrichment, and gentle interaction 🐾 Plenty of love, comfort, and rest time 🐾 Frequent photo and message updates for peace of mind I maintain a clean, comfortable, and pet-safe environment where animals can relax and feel at home.

I’d love to meet you and your furry family member and become your trusted sitter! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in between other commitments. I structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure each dog receives consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. On a typical day, dogs in my care receive: 🐾 Regular potty breaks and outdoor time 🐾 Morning and evening walks (as needed) 🐾 Supervised playtime and enrichment 🐾 Feeding based on their normal routine 🐾 Quiet rest time and comfort breaks 🐾 One-on-one attention throughout the day I plan my days to be flexible so I can adjust to each dog’s needs, whether that means extra walks, medication schedules, senior care, or additional cuddle time. I keep my calendar updated and limit the number of pets I take at one time so every dog receives safe, reliable, and personalized care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I follow consistent routines and safety practices to ensure a secure, stress-free experience. In my home, I provide: 🐾 A clean, pet-safe environment with secure doors and gates 🐾 Supervised indoor and outdoor time 🐾 Separate spaces when needed for comfort or feeding 🐾 Regular sanitation of bowls, bedding, and play areas 🐾 Careful monitoring of behavior, appetite, and health In clients’ homes, I: 🐾 Follow all instructions and routines exactly as provided 🐾 Respect your home and privacy 🐾 Double-check doors, gates, and locks 🐾 Keep detailed visit notes and updates For all services, I: 🐾 Use leashes and safety equipment properly 🐾 Never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations 🐾 Administer medications as directed 🐾 Watch closely for signs of stress or illness 🐾 Communicate immediately if any concerns arise Building trust with both pets and their owners is extremely important to me. I treat every home and every animal with the same care and respect I would expect for my own family.

About: Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I’m 29 years old. I’ve always been an animal lover, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’d love to spend some quality time with your furry friends sometime this weekend, whether it’s in the mornings or the evenings. Unfortunately, I had to give up my Siberian husky when my family had to move. It’s been a tough time, and I miss the companionship of dogs dearly. I genuinely hope to find a way to make the dogs and their owners happy. I’ve also had experience watching dogs for people, and I’m quite comfortable with cats as well. My family has an outdoor cat that loves to hunt and be around people. I’ve done dog and cat sitting multiple times in my life, and I’m confident that I can provide the care and attention that these animals need. However, I need to be mindful of my living situation. I live in a house with roommates, and we’d prefer that I don’t bring an animal into the house. I understand that this might be a concern, but I assure you that I’m committed to finding a solution that works for everyone involved. I’m currently available to walk and hang out with your dog as long as you’d like. I don’t have a job but will still be looking for one. I can’t have a pet at home, but if a guest has a fence, I can let the dog out when I’m at the house.
