“Leslie was great with our dog and kept in contact with us the whole time we were out of town. Our dog takes daily medication and is stubborn in his old age. She was great with him and took care of everything he needed. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Paige is wonderful, and took excellent care of our dog while we traveled! As he is a rescue with some past trauma and special needs, we were a bit nervous to leave him, but Paige was so sweet and understanding with him. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that he was in great hands, and that our home was as well!”
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Marigold!! They took such great care of my dog while I was out of the country for a week and I felt completely confident he was in excellent hands. I think he may have enjoyed his vacation just as much as I did! I received plenty of (super cute) photos and came home to find everything just as I left it. I would highly recommend Marigold and will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Katie was wonderful! She was very communicative and sent lots of pics and even tidied up before we got home. Our pets are spoiled with me working from home with them all day typically and Katie was able to spend so much time with them that I felt very reassured leaving them. Will be booking her again!”
“She watched our dogs for our wedding. Would use her again. Sent pics of the dogs and was the best.”
“Kylie was absolutely wonderful with my dog and two feral cats that I care for. She’s kind, responsive, and kept me up to date on everything happening with my pup and home. She left my house clean and even washed and changed my sheets! I trust her completely with my babies.”
“Ashley was a great sitter! She followed all of our instructions and asked questions when other issues came up. Our boy can be a handful, but Ashley seemed to take his behavior in stride. We got daily updates with pictures of our dog looking happy and cared for.”
About: I have had my own dog for 14 years and walked neighbors dogs when I was growing up. Helped walk/watch friends dogs throughout college when they would be traveling. I work each week day but can watch/walk a dog morning, Lunch time, and post work. I also work close to home and can come let them out multiple times. I have a fenced in backyard with lots of grass that my dog loves playing fetch and taking a nap in the sun during the summer

“Reyna was wonderful to work with. She let us know her schedule prior to booking to make sure it would work with our dogs needs. She communicated on a regular basis on how our dog was doing. Our dog can be very anxious and difficult and Reyna handled her very well. We got lots of pictures while we were gone, which were great. Definitely will use Reyna again.”
About: I’ve loved dogs (and cats) since I can remember! I’ve taken care of dogs for about 3 years now, whether that be family, friends, and/or neighbors pets. I am a full time student at the University of Louisville but will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available during the week and some weekends. I keep my eyes on your fur baby at all times to ensure they’re not getting into any trouble and are safe. Will follow all instructions regarding your fur baby.
“Mattison was amazing! This was the first person we tried without a personal referral, and we couldn’t have been happier. She came before the requested dates to meet our dogs and understand their needs. With her being a Vet tech made us even more excited about using her. She will definitely be our first option for as long as she wants to sit for us.”
“Gabrielle is always great to have watch Rufus. Communicates well and I always come home to a clean house and a happy boy :) Thank you for everything, Gabrielle!”
“Anamarie was very thorough in her meet and greet and genuinely wanted to know all pertinent details she would need for the stay with our dogs. We were flooded with photos and videos of the dogs while we were away, just the way we like it. She was very respectful of our home and the fur kids loved her!! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Rallie and I are going to miss having Tori on a regular bases. She is truly an awesome person and great with Rallie. Great tail wags when he see's her...”
About: Some Senior Care Magic hands with dogs Feeding and Nutrition I have some experience with giving medications, but please tell me what works best for your pet. I currently am working part time for the summer so I will be able to check with your pets late at night and early morning. The most they'll be alone will probably be 5 hours. Most of time they won't be alone for Sundays. In your home, I'll make sure to walk them outside and if you have a backyard we'll play outside. We'll also play in any surrounded parks.
“Alexandra was a SAINT! I have a Pom puppy with bad separation anxiety but Alexandra took spectacular care of her and Margot had a great time. She took great care of her, left the apartment as she found it, and even changed the sheets on the bed since I was getting home late. My neighbors texted me to let me know she was doing a great job and thought she was super nice. I’ll 100% be rebooking the next time I have to go out of town— thank you so much for loving my baby like one of your own!”
“Emilia was so attentive, flexible and made me feel very confident that my dogs were I. Good hands while I was away. She left the house neat as a pin. Will definitely book her again!”
“Christina was so great with copper!! He was so happy and I could tell he was in good hands with her!! She stayed with him and all his puppy needs were met!!”
