“Emily did an amazing job with Otis. He’s pretty particular about getting his harness on, even with me and dad, but Emily was patient and helped him with his confidence to get it on. She did great with his high energy and we definitely be scheduling with her again!”

“Tara is wonderful! She has been weekly walking our giant goof of a dog, Jolene, for almost an entire year. Tara provides great updates, photos and always gives Jolene extra belly rubs.”

“Sarah has been with our Perry every day for 3 months now and we do not know what we would do without her. She goes above and beyond for him! You can really tell how much she loves dogs and how Perry has become special to her. She is extremely reliable, consistent, communicative. I wouldn’t trust anyone else for Perry’s daily walks and I’m so glad we found her!”

About: I’ve been a pet sitter since high school and love every minute of it! I have a cat named Stitch who’s my best friend, and I enjoy spending time outdoors—so walking your pet is the perfect way for us to both get some fresh air and fun. I treat every pet like my own, giving them love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, usually only two classes a day, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I always double check that every gate is closed and that your friend is in no danger. I am very vigilant and always make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave
“Jen is not only the best, most reliable dog walker we have ever used, but also the most trustworthy person we've ever employed to do any kind of work in our household. It helps immensely that she is both energetic and calming. Our rambunctious big boy retriever is always super mellow after each outing with Jen. I wish we'd known of her several dogs ago!”

“Eleanor did such an amazing job with my husky She was very punctual and handled Freya like a pro! It’s always a frustration of mine anytime I leave town and come back to a Wiley dog who has been allowed to pull on the leash and jump on people. Eleanor is the first dog walker I’ve had that has expertly kept Freya in line and I’m so appreciative! I will definitely be rebooking in the future.thanks so much!”

“Liz was excellent with Sophie. She took multiple pictures, was flexible, and gave relevant information in her notes. She was by far my favorite Rover person and I would strongly recommend her. My Sophie really like her a lot!”

“Athena was absolutely wonderful with Juno! She is so friendly and professional, and goes above and beyond. I forgot to leave my key for her and she came by my work to pick it up! Juno looked so happy when I got home, I could tell she had had a good day thanks to her walk.”

About: I love animals more than I like most people. I have taken care of cats most of my life; we had a minimum of 3 in our home at all times. They were all part of the family with their own personalities. Once I was out on my own l had cats, one blind, and a Siberian husky, (who was the light of my life). I live in a condo community and in my building we are all taking care of our fur babies while on vacations etc. I just love animals, not much more I can say. You have my word I will care for them like they’re my own. I work at a place where I can step away during the day to tend to your pets. We are usual up early and home by 5. My day is Flexible (within reason). I can handle whatever you need. Feedings, playtime, lap time, outside time, what ever you need to feel good about being away from your fur baby.
“Magdalana took amazing care of my Chance! She was super responsive and helpful with accommodating my schedule. She is a great help if you are in town for a conference and need a hand with your pup! Chance loves her and would love to have her walk him again when we come back to Louisville!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old and have experience with a wide variety of pets. From raising and training two puppies alongside my sister when I was younger, to caring for horses, cats (both indoor and outdoor), a ferret, a turtle, and even nurturing a wild rabbit from infancy — animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. I’m a true animal lover and take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and understand how important it is to follow routines and instructions closely. When your pets are with me, you can expect regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel confident they are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work part-time (typically 2–3 days per week), which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be readily available for pet care. Feel free to message me about availability — I’m happy to work with your needs whenever possible. My home environment is safe, clean, and pet-friendly, with no accessible hazards or toxic items. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with patience, affection, and dependable care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time, typically 2–3 days per week, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I plan my day around their needs — including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship — to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Because I have availability throughout the week, I’m able to accommodate a variety of care types and adjust my routine as needed to match each pet’s schedule. Providing attentive, reliable care is something I take seriously, and I make sure pets are never treated as an afterthought but as an important part of my day. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in theirs. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, exercise, and behavioral expectations to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space free of accessible hazards or toxic materials. Pets are welcome on furniture as part of a relaxed and loving environment; however, if they are currently being trained not to use furniture, I will fully respect and continue reinforcing that training while they are in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain the pet’s established routine to minimize stress. I focus on attentive supervision, safe handling, and plenty of affection and engagement so pets feel secure and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and videos for peace of mind throughout the stay.
About: Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. Have owned as many as 5 at one time, as well as fostering dogs, cats and kittens, including a special needs beagle with degenerative myelopathy (he had a cool wheelchair :) . I love them all and will care for them like they are my own. I will scratch and play and provide belly rubs on command. If I sit for your dog in my home, my cat, Frankie, will just roll her eyes and move on :) I am happy to work with the schedule you prefer for your furry kids, even if it's not the same as mine. Please contact me with questions, I am happy to chat first so we are both comfortable. I am currently working from home and available to have a furry office mate all day, they can even join my Zoom calls if they are into that sort of thing I have a fenced yard and a special “dog room” with toys a few different sized crates for when they need some space from my cat 😊.
