“Kayla is the best! She continually goes above and beyond and absolutely cares about my puppy. She’s flexible, very easy to communicate with, and sends me better pictures than I can get myself! Highly recommend Kayla”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs! At home, I have a Beagle, a Great Dane, a puppy, and cats, so I'm very familiar with everything from energetic puppies and large breeds to older pets who prefer a slower pace. I also have experience caring for special-needs animals, including my own visually impaired cat who has had an eye removed. I understand how important patience, consistency, and individualized attention are when helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I'm also a registered nurse, so being attentive, dependable, and recognizing when something isn't quite right comes naturally to me. I treat animals like family and want every pet in my care to feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away! I work full-time as a school nurse with a regular Monday through Friday schedule, so I'm primarily available during evenings and weekends! One of the perks of working in a school is that I have increased availability during school holidays, breaks, and summer vacation! I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my availability and appreciate advance notice whenever possible. I understand that plans can change, though, so don't hesitate to reach out! I may also be available for later evening visits (after 8 PM), even if they aren't listed on my calendar. I love spending time with animals and am happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's needs! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities! I believe in following each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, medications, training methods, and household rules. I'm comfortable working with a variety of personalities, behaviors, dietary needs, and medical considerations. I have experience administering medications, including oral medications, eye ointments, ear drops, and subcutaneous injections. As a registered nurse and the owner of pets with special needs, I understand the importance of being attentive, patient, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. Communication is incredibly important to me! The more you can tell me about your pet's preferences, triggers, routines, and unique quirks, the better I can provide a safe and comfortable experience. I'll treat your home with respect and your pets like family!

I have a huge fenced in backyard, with two friendly golden retrievers who would love to play with your pet. Also I can crate if needed.

Creating a safe, cozy space with routine, exercise, and affection is key. Prioritize hygiene, follow training rules, and stay attentive to dogs’ needs and comfort.

About: I know it can be nerve racking to find someone you can trust to take care if your pet like you would. That’s why I started pet sitting! I want to provide peace of mind to owners by providing the same routine for your pet and updating you daily. I have experience caring for all types of animals; dogs, cats, chickens and reptiles. All sizes, special diets, oral medications, whatever care your pet’s need! If you have a dog or cat that doesn’t “like” people, I’m your girl!

About: I have dog sat my entire life, in home stays and daily visits. Cats have been my world recently and I have had several dogs since I was born including my soul dog. All animals are a friend of mine! I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and abilities. I had a senior cat for several years and am very comfortable with any additional medication or needs your pet may have! I am currently working from home, so I am able to accommodate most pet care requests! I do have my own dog I have to check in on once a weekday, usually around midday. I have cat and dog sat in home. Both as full time and drop-in. I am comfortable with whatever and happy to assist! My current house has a fenced in yard.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats and have volunteered at the animal shelter to walk, care for, play with both cats & dogs I am very flexible with my schedule and available most days, including holidays. I can do early mornings and mid-day and evenings. Late night depending on locations & individual needs. Not presently offered. Maybe once I have added a fenced in yard, I might consider boarding. I am not interested at this time to board at my home. I'm devoted to taking good care of your furbabies when I have a booking. Your animals are my #1 priority. I can do drop in visits or stay with them overnight depending on your needs. I have a fenced yard and supervise the furbabies while in my care. I have a friendly small dog who will play with yours. I also have 2 cats that are accustomed to being around dogs, but stay away for the most part.

About: I have dog sat since I was 15. It was my first job. I love taking care of animals in general and I thought why not get paid to do what I love. I’m available whenever, my schedule is very flexible. I could work 7 days a week or when every someone needs me. It all depends on the clients needs. I walk, I feed, I play, and I love for dogs. I have had my own dog that i personally have taken care of since I was 12 years old. Since then i have taken care of multiple dogs all by myself.

About: I’ve always had pets in my life, from dogs to cats, and they mean the world to me. With two pups of my own, I know how important it is to provide love, patience, and attentive care. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day to give pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll be there to keep them happy and cared for while you’re away.” When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them just as I would my own. I make sure to follow all routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I also give plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I keep the home environment tidy, respect the client’s space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure both the pets and their owners feel confident and cared for throughout the entire experience.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for as long as i can remember, i’ve had a cats, dogs, fish and turtles. I love animals wake up take the dog out feed him. feed kitty, clean her litter then do the same thing around lunch. Sense it’s summer, it’s different when I was in school I play with my pets and my sister pets. i’ve never had a client yet. i’ll make sure there comfortable with me in my home or theirs.

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for both my own pets and other people’s animals, I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and temperaments! My experience extends beyond dogs and cats to include caring for a pony and goats. I’m comfortable adapting to different animals and their individual routines, personalities, and needs. One of my biggest strengths is working with dogs who need a little extra understanding. I have hands-on experience with reactive, fearful, anxious, and avoidant dogs, and I’ve personally rescued and rehabilitated two pit bulls. I currently own a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and continue to work with dogs of various breeds and temperaments. I understand that not every pet is immediately comfortable with a new person, and that’s okay! I believe in patience, respecting boundaries, and allowing animals to build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is outgoing and energetic or shy and cautious, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that meets them where they are. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life, so incorporating visits for other pets into my routine comes naturally! I offer flexible scheduling for drop in visits and walks, including recurring visits and vacation care. A few days’ notice is always appreciated, but I’m happy to consider same day requests when my schedule allows. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s established routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and any special needs before providing care. I’m especially attentive to body language and signs of stress, particularly with anxious, fearful, or reactive animals. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s comfort level, and never force interactions. I’m also mindful of secure doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings to help keep everyone safe. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are receiving patient, attentive care in their own familiar environment.

“Thank you for helping me with a last minute request!”

“WOW. Reliable, professional, friendly, and skilled, Taylor is extraordinary! Taylor has been taking our dog Gracie on daily walks while we are at work and even incorporating leash training into her sessions. In just one week, Taylor has bonded with Gracie and worked with us to significantly to improve her leash manners. We are astonished! Taylor has also been exceptional in her communication, sending us daily updates with photos, which are so cute and appreciated. Most importantly, Taylor is extremely thoughtful and caring, which comes through in her interactions with us and Gracie. We would recommend Taylor without hesitation to anyone!”

About: I was born with pets, cats and dogs. My best friend, a vet tech, has trusted me with her elderly husky and the 2 young ones. All adopted! I loved it so I adopted my own Husky, Kingston (that’s him in my photo). I know training is for the pet AND the human. Exercise, affection, and discipline are keys for a happy pet life, not aggression or cruelty. Pet health and grooming are second nature to me, and I have access to a licensed veterinary opinion in case of emergencies. Ask me anything if concerned, I want to be friends with your fur babies! I work 8 hour days during the week, off by 5. That leaves my availability at evenings and weekends for now. Pet has a LOT of energy? We’re gonna burn it! I go for walks 30 minutes twice daily, morning and evening. Feeding times are specific to the dog so I communicate with you on their routine so they can continue it and still fit in at puppy daycare! I have a two story duplex in Irvington, where I’m surrounded by parks and the Pleasant Run Trail. Pet has a LOT of energy? We’re gonna burn it! I go for walks since the husky boy needs it, and he is trained and friendly and likes to play with friends if allowed so he’s as excited as I am! We take 30 minute walks twice daily, morning and evening. We go to the the dog park (broad ripple or clay terrace) on Sundays. Feeding whenever convenient for the pet I’m watching, some dietetic pets need a strict timeline so we stick to that. Playtime when they are ready to play, but also an organized routine of games and training during that time. Whether I come to you or they come to me, the environment and schedule is pet friendly.

“Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were away. We highly recommend her!”

About: I've been working with animals since I was 12, from volunteering at shelters to learning how to groom from my sister! I currently work at the Hamilton County Humane Society as the Behavior Coordinator (and previously as a vet assistant), and also am earning my animal behavior degree. I have lots of animal experience with all different kinds of animals, including exotics! I have been working with and training animals with behavioral issues for 2 years now, and it's become my biggest passion. From resource guarding to stranger reactivity, I will always give any animal with any issue my love and support! I am currently working full time at HCHS. I have an hour and a half break during the day as well so I can visit and give potty & play breaks at least 3 times a day! I am more than willing to work with any rules you have for your animals and home! Your happiness and pet's safety is my number one priority. :)

“She did a great job. Will use her again.”
