“Tara always takes extra special care of our cat who is a bit needy! She always makes him feel so loved and we don’t have to worry about him one bit when we’re out of town and she’s taking care of him!”
“Kumiko was simply amazing! I never had to worry about the well-being of my Great Dane during my vacation. It was apparent from the beginning that she truly cares about the animal and is very knowledgeable about animals. Kumiko keeps in close touch with you throughout the time you are away and I was always excited to receive photos of my boy. I will most definitely be using her again when I need to leave town!”
“Ciara was wonderful! We had her cat-sit for us for a week. Prior to her sitting, she did an in-person visit with us, as well as a day before meet and greet with our cat, which we really appreciated! She checked in with us every day, while we were gone”
“She is the best! My dog was sick one day when she went to check on her and she cleaned her crate and even went to check on her again later in the day. So thoughtful and treats your dog like her own!”
“Erin did a great job, even picking up last minute with our 4 fur babies during Derby 🐎 week. Both dogs and cats were well taken care of, she even brought packages in for us. We received multiple daily photos along with the written updates and felt every thing was under control. Highly recommend, and hope to be able to use Erin again when the need arises.”
“Michael communicates well and takes great care of our oversized puppy :) He is very accommodating with scheduling and always gives nice feedback about walks. Thank you!”
“Great sitter! Took care of our cats really well! Would definitely book again!”
About: I treat my own two dogs like they are my children - I’m not even sure they realize they’re dogs anymore. I’ve traveled a lot for work and know how stressful it is to find a sitter when going out of town. I have four rescues and have fostered numerous others. I am currently a full-time graduate student in an online program, so looking to use my time to help others! I am currently an online graduate student who is not working, so I have open availability when I am not traveling. I am happy to help any time I am in Louisville! I know how important it is to follow a pet’s routine, and I have a great attention to detail, especially when it comes to safety of my pets. I will follow whatever rules/routines you already have in place for your pet.

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.
“Valerie was absolutely phenomenal. She helped out when I was in a last minute pitch, and couldn’t have been nicer and easier to communicate with even with my last minute request and with delayed responses on my end due to traveling. She also took the sweetest pictures of my two pups and took wonderful notes about what they did while she was with them. Couldn’t be happier, thank you Valerie! I would recommend this sitter to anyone :)”
“Best Sitter. I literally had to get her last minute and she was so quick to help. She treated my puppy so well and even cleaned up a mess we made. I recommend her to everyone as she goes above and beyond. Definitely will be reaching out to her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Owen and I have been taking care of animals for about 10 years now. I have three dogs that I am blessed to call mine. Recently, I have been taking pet sitting jobs from friends, family, and work acquaintances. In those two years, I have gained valuable practice and methods of caregiving for dogs and cats alike. I am currently employed full time, however, I can work remotely if given the proper heads-ups. Weekends generally are always open. If you have any concerns feel free to message me with any questions! As mentioned before, I am employed full time and that requires to go in the office on occasion. I will be able to walk a dog every 4-6 hours and feed them before and after my shift with no issue.

My cat can be extremely difficult at times and Owen is patient to give the cat his space but also care for him. 10/10 care and would highly recommend.”
