“Another great experience using Leslie to sit with our fur baby. Leslie is very dependable. She sends daily pictures and keeps us updated. Would definitely recommend!”


“Katie was a great dog and house sitter for us for 15 days while we were out of the country. She has an innate way with animals and our Nova took to her right away. From the meet and greet until we were home, I never worried about Nova's wellbeing. I was able to leave everything in Katie's capable hands. She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out to her, both before and during our trip. I highly recommend her and will use her again myself.”


About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own pets and fostering both cats and dogs. I'm an avid walker with a super flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love while you're away. I treat every animal like family—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I have lots of availability and love being active, so I’m always ready for walks, playtime, and cuddles. My days are flexible, which means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency as often as they need. I care for pets with the same attention and love I give my own. I'm very detail-oriented, neat, and organized. I'll always follow your instructions exactly to keep your pet comfortable and your home just the way you left it. You can trust me to treat both with the utmost care and respect.

“Mary was great with both of our dogs over the weekend. She sent a ton of photo updates and seemed to enjoy spending time with them and playing with them. They’re both older and one needs medicine twice daily, which she was able to administer.”


“Kylie was absolutely wonderful with my dog and two feral cats that I care for. She’s kind, responsive, and kept me up to date on everything happening with my pup and home. She left my house clean and even washed and changed my sheets! I trust her completely with my babies.”


About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.

“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”


“Gabrielle was great! Very responsive, left the house clean and tidy. My dog looks well cared for and loved while I was away. Appreciate everything! Will use her help again!”


About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and over the years I’ve cared for pets of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior companions. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve helped family and friends with their furry loved ones, whether it was pet-sitting, walking, or giving them some extra love and attention while their humans were away. Right now, I help my roommate with her rescue pup whenever she needs an extra hand. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and silly voices included—unless they’re too cool for that. As a student with just one in-person class, Monday through Thursday from 12:30–2:10 PM, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I’m mostly available before and after class, as well as on weekends depending on the timing. I also like to stay active and make it a point to go on a 30-minute walk daily—having a furry companion to join me makes it even better! Whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or just keeping a pet company while you’re away, I love building that into my daily routine. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, cozy, and calm environment. I live in an apartment with a spacious layout, and I can comfortably host your dog either in my room or the shared living room—whatever works best for their comfort and routine. The neighborhood around my apartment is great for walks, with lots of green space and quiet streets. I also frequent a park just a 5-minute drive away for longer walks, playtime, or a change of scenery if your dog enjoys adventure. Whether we’re hanging out inside or getting those daily steps in, your pet will get lots of attention, love, and exercise.

About: Through my own dog, bear, I have developed a care and compassion for animals. Animals are my passion, and I plan to pursue this passion in marine biology after my undergraduate at JcTc to preserve the biodiversity of our planet. I am a graduate cum laude from high school, I have a total flexibility on weekdays, before 2:00pm on Fridays, and my weekends are open. I have a fenced in backyard, my pet has regular vet visits, I am responsible for insuring my dog the proper amount of nutrition each day. I understand the importance of daily walks, and use a leash at all times.

About: Some Senior Care Magic hands with dogs Feeding and Nutrition I have some experience with giving medications, but please tell me what works best for your pet. I currently am working part time for the summer so I will be able to check with your pets late at night and early morning. The most they'll be alone will probably be 5 hours. Most of time they won't be alone for Sundays. In your home, I'll make sure to walk them outside and if you have a backyard we'll play outside. We'll also play in any surrounded parks.

“Betsy is amazing, highly recommend! She took great care of our three dogs and several house-plants while we were traveling for 5 days over the holiday weekend. Our two smaller dogs can be a little feisty with new people but they instantly liked Betsy at our meet-and-greet (which is rare!) and bonded even more during her stay. Our 1 yr old Pitt is very high energy and can be a handful, but again, Betsy handled her like a pro. Even our friends at the local dog park commented on how great she was with all of them, taking them out for daily socializing and exercise, which is their favorite part of each day. Betsy was also a perfect house guest, leaving our place just as we'd left it and keeping us up to date with messages and photos throughout. Thank you Betsy, we look forward to having you stay again soon!”


About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I have had many animals of my own my whole life along with pet sitting for many family members, friends, and neighbors. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked in a vet office for over a year now and with my hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m trained to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy pups. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life — not just a job, but a commitment I truly enjoy. I build my schedule around my clients’ pets to ensure consistency, comfort, and reliability. Caring for pets in their own home keeps their environment consistent and stress-free. I follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and medication. I stick to your instructions for house rules, routines, and preferences. I tidy up after myself (and your pet), water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home secure. I provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Ana was fantastic! Very professional and took great care of my girls. She was also very accommodating when Mother Nature pushed our start time back by a few hours at the last minute. I highly recommend her services.”


“Rachel watched my dogs and house for a long weekend. I got frequent updates and good communication while away. The pups were happy and the house was in great shape when I returned. So relieved to have a great sitter when traveling.”


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.
