About: I am a big animal lover! I have helped care for family members pets my whole life. I am a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky. During college, I fostered dogs and volunteered through the Lexington Humane Society. This work was so fulfilling and allowed me to provide shelter dogs with socialization and get them adopted! I would love to hang out with your furry friend(s) while you are away! I just graduated from undergrad and willing be starting my Masters program in August. I am working at a kids summer camp for 4 hours/day M-F this summer, so I have lots of time to help fill in while you are at work, on vacation, or otherwise unavailable. Through my time with the Lexington Humane Society, I completed trainings that covered dog behavior, body language, socialization, basic training, and basic health info. This knowledge helps me provide the best support while I am working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and behaviors.
“Jamie was absolutely great! The pups loved her and her communication and post-visit notes and pictures were detailed and reassuring that my dogs were in good hands. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Emma is always so incredible with Apollo! I feel totally at ease and know I never have to worry about Apollo when Emma is taking care of him. I am always so grateful with her communication, pictures, and detailed updates. Apollo absolutely loves her visits and gets spoiled which we love. We have worked with Emma multiple and can’t recommend her enough Thank you Emma!”

“Avery loves when Savana visits!!! I get pics from Savana from her time with Avery. She’s great at communicating and giving our dog cuddles! She really seems to enjoy being part of Avery’s day.”

About: Hi, my name is Darian! I’m 31, and have been caring for dogs since my childhood. Most of my experience is with pit bulls and other large breeds, that may be considered “aggressive” breeds, though I don’t believe any dog should be considered aggressive based on their breed. I currently own a small dachshund with a big attitude and even bigger personality! He’s my little buddy, and I promise to treat your pet like they’re my own. I also offer nail grinding services, and bathing services! I’m available most evenings after 5pm, for those that need help while you’re running errands, working night shift, or just need an extra hand with evening pet care. I also have open availability on Sundays. My currently availability is: Evenings after 5 pm Open availability on Sundays I’m happy to take your dog on evening walks, or a Sunday stroll! You can also schedule a drop-in visit, where I’m happy to bathe or trim nails upon request. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, or walks in your neighborhood to keep your pet as relaxed and comfortable as possible! I prefer meet and greets or phone calls before providing care, to get to know your pet’s needs and personality.
“Jade did a great job checking in on Orca twice a day. She fed him and cleaned his litter box every time she went by. She also gave us several updates on him including multiple pictures each visit!”

“Amy took such great care of our senior cat! She handled his medication injections well and clearly cared about his well being, I felt so comfortable knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Would recommend her to anyone - we will definitely book again!!”


About: I have a lot of experience with animals of all kinds! I have worked at 2 shelters over the course of 5 years, walking dogs of all sizes and taking care of cats as well. I also learned basic medical care of animals, such as giving medications. I’m currently a PhD student on a brief leave, so I am free to walk or care for your pets during the day while you are away. Safety and comfortability of the animal is of the utmost importance to me. I love to get to know animals well, and learn how to cater to their needs!
About: I’ve always loved animals and have taken care of my friends cats dogs reptiles everything in between I’ve given medicine to cats as well in my previous cat sitting . I’m currently not working right now so I’m pretty free until I land a part-time job but I still want to be able to help and babysit some kitties and dogs! If I’m in a client’s home with their pet, I’m treating their home as if it was my home, their pet as if they were my pet. How I would want someone to take care of my animals. I am a cat parent of three.

“Ali is the best!!! We will absolutely have her watch our kitties again! We have a very shy and very anxious guy and she won him over, it was so great knowing he trusted her. She also kept our 7 week old kitten busy and entertained! She's so kind, reliable, and she gave such great updates and pictures. So thankful to have found her 💓”

Animals have always been my passion and I love caring for them. I have no problem cleaning up or giving medication if that is what is needed! I look forward to meeting your pets! My full time job allows me to create my own schedule so I can be flexible with timing to ensure your pet gets the best care while you are gone! My day job is a Realtor. This allows me to create my on schedule and work from just about anywhere. This gives me flexibility to ensure your pet receives the best care possible while you are away. Being able to stay in the clients home can help the pet feel more relaxed and comfortable while their owner is gone. Every pet is different along with their needs. Its important to me to get a good understanding of what your pet needs and providing that to the best of my ability!

Hannah has been an incredible help in settling in with my puppy. She has provided such good care and has been so communicative every step of the way. She even popped in last minute to help so that I could get a little extra time to enjoy a much needed day out. I highly recommend her!

We have a 5mo puppy at home, we have relied on friends up until this point to let him out. We were so nervous to move away from friends and hop on rover. The transition was flawless thanks to Taylor! She is diligent with routine instructions, engaged with our pup, and has even befriended our grumpiest cat. We saw her out in the neighborhood and our pup lost his mind when he saw her (the truest testament). We already recommend her to our close friends, couldn’t recommend her enough to you all! Thank you, Taylor!!!

Abbe is the best! My senior dogs love her. She follows all instructions well, goes the extra mile to make sure they pee and poop! Send lots of photos showing me the love she is giving them and you can see by the looks in their eyes that they love her right back. Highly recommend.

Tammie was the absolute best! Even with late notice booking, Tammie jumped in and took amazing care of my 2 senior cats over the holiday. She played with them, fed them on our discussed schedule and kept me perfectly updated. I felt at peace while on my trip and will definitely book again with her some day. Thanks so much Tammie!
