Pet care experience

East end house for your fur babies!

I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. My partner Jacob and I have 3 yorkies, a cat, a mini pig, and hedgehogs. We have experience with reptiles and arachnids as well. We love all critters, no matter the species! Our home is quite large, with space to give shy animals some quiet time if need be, but we also have no qualms with sharing our beds or couches if your pets want to snuggle up. Our yard is fully fenced, and our animals are always monitored when outdoors. Rest assured, we will treat your babies like our own!

Collin is great. His three Yorkies Peanut, Butter and Reeses were terrific with my 14 year Boston Terrier. Highly recommend Collin.

Collin is amazing and I am so blessed that my kitty, Penny, was able to board with such a loving family. Much to my surprise, Penny and Collin's kitty, Nala, became BFFs and played together! Collin kept me updated on Penny and her stay with him and his family. Truly, there is no better sitter in Louisville for fur babies!

Collin was fantastic, sent lots of photos and took wonderful care of our puppy. I think he was sad to come home!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!😊 For years, we used large pet boarding facilities whenever we traveled. But after leaving our Bernedoodle there last year, she came back with separation anxiety and stopped enjoying car rides. We knew something had to change. That’s when we turned to Rover. We found several qualified sitters, but ultimately chose Collin because of his easygoing nature and the warm, family environment he offered. Nala immediately seemed comfortable with him, and we loved that he had smaller dogs and other animals around—it felt like a great fit. And wow, are we glad we chose him! Collin was accommodating, thoughtful, responsive, and sent us tons of updates and photos. When Nala came home, she was bouncy and happy—no signs of stress at all. She’s currently napping peacefully at my feet, and didn’t need any time to decompress. We couldn’t be more grateful.

Schedule

I work from home, and have the luxury of creating my own schedule on a daily basis. As such, I’m able to spend as much time as I need to with your babies.

Safety, trust & environment

My large backyard is fully fenced. Outdoor time is always monitored personally, even if it’s raining. We have three yorkies in our home, and a mini pig who stays outside (except during the winter). We allow animals on our furniture, if they want to join us, or they can lounge where they’re comfortable. We have enough space to keep animals separated in different rooms if the client requests it.

Pets

A typical day

Lots of outdoor play time in the back yard. There is also a beautiful park down the street where I love taking pups for a stroll on a nice day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Collin can host up to 3 pets per night
Dogs need to be friendly with other dogs and cats, and small children. If the males like to hike their legs inside, please provide belly band(s) at drop-off. Cats need to be comfortable with other cats, and somewhat tolerate dogs. Puppies require a lot of care, which is why my rates for puppies are higher. I will decrease the nightly rate for puppies based on their potty training!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
