1. Magdalana M.
“Maggie was a great sitter and took excellent care of my fur babies. She even managed to charm my dog who doesn't like or trust strangers. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my canine kids were being well taken care of. Would book again and highly recommend.”
2. Tara S.
“Tara was great at communicating and gave excellent updates on our cat while we were out of town, allowing us to feel confident he was well taken care of- definitely recommend and will use her again!”
3. Ciara W.
“Ciara was great and easy to work with. She was able to accomodate me on short notice and sent picks of my pup. I would love to use her again.”
4. Eleanor E.
“Eleanor was very communicative, warm, and took great care of my puppy! She was also very attentive to my puppy’s food needs and made sure she had everything she needed. I’m so lucky to have found such a great pet sitter!”
5. Betty J.
About: Hi there! My name is Betty and I just moved to Louisville. I work in the film/entertainment industry as an actor, comedian, and crew worker. I work a lot from home. I have owned dogs for over 15 years. I have experience in owning dogs of many sizes from Pomeranians to pit bulls. I have always loved dogs and understand the importance of providing care for them while you work or are out of town. I currently have a 7.5 yr old neutered French Bulldog named Earl. He's a little goofy and loves other dogs. If your dog can handle my terrible jokes, we might just be a great fit. Care for the dogs will happen in my two bedroom town house. It faces a private grassy area but does not have a fence around it. The patio is gated, however. For this reason, large over active dogs may not be the best fit for drop offs, I'd hate for them to feel confined. I do plan to take the furry buddies on walks and have playtime. I own my own business as a photographer so I’m pretty flexible. Days at the dog park, walks in the neighborhood, an intense game of dog chess, (almost) whatever your dog needs, we can fit it in. Will return to answer this. Hey Rover! Your prompt block the question in the app so I can’t read what it says. I’m sorry! 🥲🥲🥲🥲
6. William W.
“Billy was awesome. My cat was in good hands while I was away—never had to worry. Lots of updates. He stayed a little longer to make sure she was comfortable with him. I would book with him again in a heartbeat.”
7. Rhiannon H.
“Rhiannon is amazing! She has been so flexible, kind and easy to work with. We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. And our pups love her too!”
8. Jamianne P.
“Both of our cats love Jamianne, even our shy tiny cat. She was wonderful taking care of them and we will definitely be asking for her help in the future.”
9. Olivia B.
“Olivia is the best, do not hesitate to book her. This is a rebook for us and we will continue to book with her. She is so thorough and conscientious and gives wonderful and comforting updates while we’re away. She goes above and beyond and helps you feel safe leaving your babies in her care!”
10. Sarah W.
“I couldn’t recommend Sarah more for caring for your fur babies! Three times weekly walks with my dog have been amazing as he is so calm with her and clearly has the best time. And multiple times whilst I’ve been out of state Sarah has been there to help, and I always received pictures, videos and regular updates on how my dog and cat are doing which has made being away far easier than in the past with other sitters. And I know Alphie can’t wait to see you next time!”
11. Jami D.
“Jami is a great person and definitely loves dogs! She is great with my frenchies and they love her! She even cooks fresh food for her own dog!”
12. Anna G.
“Superb.”
13. Jill P.
“Jill was great with our pup Kiki. We left for 6 days and Jill was there the night before to make sure the trade off wasn’t tough on Kiki. It was our first time leaving her with a trusted friend and Jill followed our rules for her and the house (keeping doors shut, AC at our temp). She even made sure to play the soothing music for Kiki when she left the house which is how we like to keep her calm when she’s alone. Jill was great keeping our pup entertained and fed while keeping us in the loop. We will consider Jill the next time we go on a trip for sure!”
14. Emilia M.
“Emilia was a great sitter for Otto! She communicated well, sent great pics, and Otto was so relaxed when we got home. Couldn't have asked for a more reliable sitter!”
15. Tati D.
“The whole experience with Tati was excellent. Communication was amazing. My dog absolutely fell in love with her. I will be calling on her in the future.”
16. Angalina C.
“Great help no issues at all”
17. Apollo C.
About: I have had both and elderly dog and an elderly cat in my life. I am great at remembering to administer meds, and I can help them groom themselves if they no longer have the energy or flexibility to keep themselves clean. I also can take care of young animals, and I enjoy playing with them and helping them get all that energy out! I'm currently between jobs so I have a lot of free time. I have elderly relatives out of state that need care, so I will be gone occasionally, but when I'm in town it would be nice to have something to do! I am careful when opening doors so that a fur baby does not go running out. I am likewise careful to keep gates securely locked.
18. Brian R.
“Brian took great care of Jake with updates during every visit. Jake seemed like he had a great weekend while I was away. Definitely will be using Brian again in the future. Highly recommend!”
19. Brooklynn C.
“Brooklynn was lovely from start to finish! She kept us updated with photos and was very prompt and responsive with communication. We could tell she really takes the responsibility seriously and really loves animals :-) Definitely planning to rebook in the future!”
20. Ember F.
“I have known Ember for over 13 years and have always found her to be caring, kind and conscientious about pet care, as well as people care, too. She has always taken great care of my animals, not only in physical care, but emotional care. If my kitties could talk, they would tell me they would rather Ember come over to play with them, 'cause she does it better. I heartily recommend Ember for your pet care.”
