Top rated Louisville house sitters

“Christie was amazing! We have never had a stranger watch our pets before, so we were pretty nervous. Christie was very patient and understanding and came to do a meet/greet prior to the weekend. We immediately felt at ease after meeting her. She played with our Australian Shepherds in our yard multiple times each day. Our one very particular pup warmed up to her, which rarely happens. And our one cat that hides anytime people are in the house snuggled in bed with her both nights! She brought a trustworthy and pet loving energy to the house and we will definitely be booking her again in the future!”


“Tamara was great! Very clean, communicative, and punctual. She sent regular pictures and info on how my pet was doing throughout her visit and went above and beyond. Would recommend!”


“Our dogs were so happy the first time Melanie came to watch them that we invited her back. When she arrived, both dogs were over-the-top excited to see her. We are rural and Melanie was happy to drive a great distance to help us out. And again, we were so happy with the care and attention she gave both Toby and Misty. She doted on them, walked them and generally showered them with love while we were away. With her great rates and exceptional care, I can't recommend Melanie enough. We will have her back again, for sure.”



“Caitlin is perfection! My dogs love her and she has always done a fantastic job taking care of them when I'm out of town. She sends pictures and updates everyday and is very responsive to texts. Best sitter I've ever had.”


“Sabrina was a WONDERFUL sitter for Naiya. I was camping without cell service and she sent frequent updates to my emergency contact. I was really anxious about being disconnected and I am put at total ease knowing Sabrina went above and beyond for Naiya. She catered to Naiyas (sometimes ridiculous) needs and requests which warms my heart so much. I cannot wait to welcome Sabrina back again.”


“Abigail was a great pet sitter for our fur babies. Kept us updated with messages and pics while we were away which alleviated any concerns we had about our dogs. Our flight was delayed a few days and Abigail kindly accommodated our request for an extension and the transfer of our dogs to a family member. Left our house spotless. We will definitely be calling on her again.”


“Vanessa was excellent! She took great care in making sure she knew what my pup needed while I was away. Her text and video updates were super appreciated as well and I could tell she was having a good time watching my pup. If you want someone attentive and caring, book Vanessa!”


“Crystal was absolutely amazing and our Reese, Rubi, and River were in wonderful hands! Crystal is communicative, asks questions and sends numerous updates and photos/videos. She made us feel 100% secure leaving our three dogs, and was completely understanding and tuned into each of their individual and unique needs. She was wonderful with our senior chihuahua mix with some special health needs, our feisty three-year old German Shepard mix, and our very very anxious senior Olde English mix. She made the time to come out and meet them before booking and make sure we were all comfortable. She is super flexible and left our home immaculate. We hope to have her watch our furbabies again soon! Thanks Crystal 🙂”


“I cannot recommend Bethany highly enough! She recently stayed at my home to care for my senior small dog, and she was absolutely amazing. From the start, Bethany was warm, professional, and incredibly caring. She took the time to understand my dog’s needs and routines, and it showed in how comfortable and happy she was in her care. Throughout her stay, Bethany kept in touch just as I had requested—sending thoughtful updates and sweet pictures that truly put my mind at ease. It was clear from every message that she treated my pup with so much love and attention. It’s such a relief to have found someone so reliable and compassionate. I’ll definitely be contacting Bethany again for future dates. Thank you, Bethany, for your caring personality and for taking such wonderful care of little dog!”


“Kayla had excellent communication from start to finish even letting me know that she would be arriving a little early which for me is much appreciated. While I was away she sent pictures and answered my questions right away, again which is what I had requested. I arrived home to find my pets happy and content and my home in perfect condition, even cleaner than when I left. Thank you Kayla!!”


About: I offer house sitting anywhere between Ottawa, Montreal, Pembroke or Kingston as well as West Ottawa drop in services. I have travelled as a pet sitter in Ontario, Alberta, BC and Colorado. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, chickens, crabs, fish, and frogs. House plants are great too I live in Stittsville, West Ottawa. I work 9-5 remotely so I love to travel within Canada. My work is flexible so I am able to walk your dogs around their own schedules I am reliable, confident and precise about pet care. Leave detailed instructions and everything else will be taken care of :) I look forward to falling in love with your fur baby!

About: For future reference; will not be accepting non neutered or spayed cats/dogs unless accompanied by a crate, especially if their not trained please. I do have one myself, so not that you need to have one per se but allow use if necessary! This is partially for Henrys experience too, so please keep that in mind when reading this; its not to be snarky. I have trained two dogs growing up who have above average listening and response times. Positive reinforcement was key to my success, psychology paid off. One was a rescue dog; she was such a sweet heart but it took some time getting her to open up based off her traumatic experiences prior to entering the adoption location she luckily found her way too. Henry on the other hand, was purchased from a breeder, so fortunately for him less baggage, and unfortunately for her given the circumstances. I've done dog sitting/pet care for family dogs when family members would go on vacation for anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Medication administration is a non issue, as well as grooming is another area I take great pride in doing myself, as it's a good trait to have being a pet owner. Have cared for puppies, adult or senior dogs; we were a dog first family growing up so I've grown to love them more than you can realize just through descriptions; with my active daily lifestyle it allows for the animals to gain as much out of exercise as I do and working from home helps as well. I treat animals as if their my family or children, so they'd receive the same treatment one would expect from a friend baby sitting their children. Seamlessly; he wakes up when I do and is let out accordingly at 4 AM we go for multiple walks a day most notably 430 AM and 530 PM. I work from home so it makes it very manageable to get him outside for bathroom breaks within 2-2.5 hour interval periods. I'd like to think we both operate at a high level through one another. We feed off one another, so when he's upbeat I am too, but when I'm down he has his tricks that ensure a great therapeutic touch. I treat them as if their my children; I speak to them in a way they understand with words or phrases we've practiced or has practiced to ensure optimal success in regards to understanding one another. Henry and I like to play often with his toys or just horsing around with Belly rubs and chasing him around the house. He sleeps with me too, so no furniture is off limits as I usually have blankets or other covers in place to manage hair loss.

“Dekoda was very kind and pleasant to work with. She went above and beyond spending time with our animals. Our vacation was much more enjoyable knowing they were well taken care of. Will definitely be booking with her again.”


About: I love dogs! I have experience taking care of big and small, well and not so well behaved dogs : ). I have a private property for ball throwing and running around. I work at home so I have the time to care for your dog. My main reason to do this is because I love pets but I am not ready for my own again just yet. I work from home full time! I would be able to give your dog walks before work, lunch, and after work. I’m open to special needs. I have 10 acres. It’s not fenced but has a treed border. I would have your pet at my home. I don’t have any other pets or children in the home.

“Kayla took such great care of our three pups over a long weekend away! She updated us all the time and was so patient with our crazy crew. I had such comfort knowing she was there and that means everything while we’re away. Thank you Kayla!”

I am very flexible with whatever needs you and your dogs may have, i can do last minute calls and more than happy to be with your animal.I hope to meet you and your little one soon ! ! Thanks. I currently walk dogs everyday with a company that I absolutely love! But i’m very flexible with times and can always make time for your pets. i pay very much attention to pet care instructions and i always make sure your animals are happy. they will be in good hands!! :)

About: I am a super active person! I love to go to the near by park but will do anything to accommodate your dogs’ needs. I have had my own dogs my whole life, including rescues that had a lot of behavioural issues. I know how to deal with a dog of any type no matter how easy or difficult they may be in the most loving manner. I work shift work that consists of 4 days working in a row and then 4 days off in a row. I have two cats at home that I love so much. They typically mind their own business when dogs are around! I am very much for open communication between us on anything and am looking to develop awesome relationships with you and your fur babies! I work full time, 4 days in a row and then have 4 days off in a row! I like to spend my spare time with my own pets, taking care of others’, being active, playing sports etc!

When we left, our large senior dog was getting along great with her, and when we returned the house was clean and tidy, pets were fed, and waters were filled.

Thanks Alyshia Janet”
