“Tara was very knowledgeable and helpful with our first time using Rover and as first time new cat owners! She sent lots of pictures, was quick to communicate needs and updates, and was always available to respond when we had questions or other small requests. She made this process easy and gave us peace of mind. We will be booking with her in the future!”

“We highly recommend Olivia! She has taken care of our babies several times now. She is definitely our go-to when we need someone. Do not hesitate to hire her!”

“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”

“Really grateful to Makenzie for stopping by to take care of my fur babies. She kept in contact with me to let me know what was going on, wrote notes on everything she did and gave my babies attention and fed them while I was out of town. She was nice enough to do a meet and greet before I left so I could make sure my big dog would be alright and he immediately wanted her attention when she walked in my door. Will 100% book with her again!”

“I’ve been having Meilin do drop ins with my old puppet, Zoe, for 3 ish now and Meilin has been such a pleasure to work with! They communicate any issues or concerns about Zoe with me quickly and the couple times they were running later or earlier they let me know. I know Zoe can be a lot sometimes and I appreciate that I never had to worry about her when Meilin was watching her. I highly recommend booking Meilin for all your pet sitting needs especially if you have a senior doggo!! 💚”

“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.”

“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!”

“Jessica is absolutely amazing with my dog Louie. He seems to really like her a lot. She’s great at communicating and follows directions to a T. I would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone that is needing a sitter. You can tell that she really enjoys the animals that she’s taking care of and that the animals enjoy her as well.”

About: Looking to stay fit and active and help your pup stay that way too! I understand what it’s like to live a busy life and need to make sure your pets get the love and care they need too. I have taken care of my own dogs, as well as house and pet-sat for multiple friends and co-workers when they needed it. I have cared for one special pup, as well as up to four pups and three cats at once. Currently, I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule, which will allow me to give pups more potty breaks, more walks, more belly rubs and play plenty of fetch and tug-o-war. I would love to help your pup stay healthy and happy!
About: I have a senior kitty and an adult age cat. I have experience with dogs of all ages. Also have dealt with animals with special health concerns such as blindness or diabetes I’m available full time for the holiday session, part time after new years but willing to be flexible if needed. Please reach ou for more. I will abide by all house and property rules for the animals safety which includes leashes, fences, walking paths. My cats are pretty relaxed so we just play inside of our apartment.
“Eleanor was great with Zoe! She listened to my instructions closely and provided detailed updates each time she checked-in on her and was very responsive with her messages. Thanks for taking such good care of Zoe! Would definitely recommend.”

About: I've had dogs (and cats) my whole life. I now have two dogs and just bought a house with a larger yard simply for them. If I could have even more dogs permanently, I would. Our dogs enjoy endless outdoor activity, freedom to move throughout the house, sleep in the same bed as us, and enjoy long walks thoughout the neighborhood. They're spoiled with new toys (for then to destroy) weekly, an abundance of treats and attention twenty four seven. Our dogs love other dogs and are intrigued but avoidant of cats. They love people. Love being outside. Love lounging on the couch or bed. They even have their own room to sleep in if they're not feeling like being in bed with us. Life if easy. I work full-time currently but with a lot of flexibility. My dogs are 12 and 9 and usually go out somewhere around 6:30am, 8:30am and then anytime they want after 5pm. I can make accommodations to have more outside time throughout the day if that is necessary for any potential sitters. Dogs have been my children for the last 15 years. I’ve had my dogs over a decade. They have control of the house, sleep on the bed, lounge on the couch, and have free range to snoop out the backyard. They go on daily walks around the neighborhood.
“We appreciate you so much! Emily genuinely cares about our dog’s welfare and health and will go out of her way to help and make him more comfortable. He is not the easiest pet, but despite his sometimes confusing behavior, Emily goes above and beyond to provide the highest level of care.”
“Brandon did great with our dogs. They got to play and potty while we were away for the day. You can tell he really cares for animals. I highly recommend using him to care for your pets.”

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and medication instructions, making sure each pet feels comfortable and safe while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart: I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I pay attention to the small details that keep pets happy—whether that’s an extra walk for energy, quiet time for older pets, or updates and photos for peace of mind. My calm personality helps pets feel at ease, and I take pride in creating a stress-free experience for both the pet and their owner. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m a college student, and this is a side hustle I genuinely enjoy because I love being around animals. My class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility: I’m free after 4 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and after 12 PM on Tuesdays. These times make it easy for me to stop by for walks, drop-ins, or longer visits. I like ending my day with something relaxing and positive, and spending time with pets is exactly that. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, energy level, and personality so I can keep everything consistent. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they always have a clean space, fresh water, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and keep things exactly as I found them. I make sure doors and gates are secure, walks are supervised, and pets stay in familiar areas. My goal is always to build trust by giving your pet a calm, caring environment where they can relax, feel safe, and enjoy their time while you’re away.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life. Our “kids” are spoiled rotten and we’d have it no other way. I’d love the opportunity to help take care of your babies. I’m available 7 days a week. I’m available seven days a week to help with your pets’ needs. Whether that’s a walk, a meal, or just some attention! Louisville, KY, area. I can provide whatever your pets need. Food, medicine, walk, etc. I’m available for check ins or walks. Please reach out any time to schedule!
