“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!”
“Saren is everything you would want in a dog sitter. She is responsible, good with dogs, good with communications, and very easy to work with. We could not have been happier with the week she spent with our dog.”
“Paige is wonderful, and took excellent care of our dog while we traveled! As he is a rescue with some past trauma and special needs, we were a bit nervous to leave him, but Paige was so sweet and understanding with him. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that he was in great hands, and that our home was as well!”
“Our 4 dogs had an amazing time with Makenzie! Lots of pictures and updates. Came home to a clean home and happy pets. Will 100% use again, and 100% would recommend!”
“Great job, won cats over quickly, even our scaredy cat. Stuck to the schedule given. Did overnights for us, I never doubted his integrity with our house or personal items, very trustworthy.”
“Jackie was truly helpful when I needed her at the last minute. She spent time with my pup and was super communicative throughout her time with him. Jackie also sent check-in photos. Jackie spent the night at my home and washed the bedding she used.”
About: I absolutely love spending time with animals! Whether it is a long walk, a run, or just giving them some attention, I always enjoy it. If your pet is up for it I am always down for a run instead of a walk! I have had experience with walking dogs but am not trained to handle dogs with more aggressive temperaments on walks. I have two beautiful cats right now and have much experience taking care of cats as well as dogs. I am comfortable administering shots and medicine as my previous cat had many health issues before she passed away. Current availability: Monday/Thursday: All day Wednesday: Early morning Friday: after 4:30 pm Saturday/Sunday: before 8 am + after 5:30 pm Please note: my availability is dependent on personal plans as well, please reach out for confirmation! I currently have two indoor cats that receive a lot of love, treats, and snuggles! I wake up every day to feed them at 6 am and play with them frequently. In the past, I have loved taking dogs on runs/walks, whatever the dog seems to be in the mood for. Cherokee Park is my go-to for dog walking because of its accessible water fountains for dogs. I also definitely enjoy playing fetch with dogs during walks.
“Sandra exceeded our expectations by a mile! We have two 6 month old Golden Retriever puppies who are a lot of work and Sandra handled their care with ease! We received morning and evening updates with plenty of pictures to relieve our anxiety from leaving them. One of our puppies needed two daily medications and Sandra was very prompt with their med schedule. She provided daily walks and was always there to let them outside to run around and play and give them plenty of love. When we returned from our trip we had daily notes on what the boys were up to, any new behaviors or just new funny quirks they developed. We also were able to see the spreadsheets she brought verifying the walks and meals they were given. Our house was left very clean and tidy and so were the puppies! It’s not even a question, we will most definitely be using Sandra in the future!!”
“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!”
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.
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.
“Ciera was amazing! She came and met our furbabies before we left. She was super flexible as our trip had to shift three days later due to weather. She was able to still come on that day. She brought in mail and packages, she stayed for multiple hours at a time to spend time with our babies and came multiple times a day. She gave great updates with pictures. I didn’t have to worry at all about my babies and knew they were not stressed being in a new place. In fact our one dog Pandora will be a picky eater even with us, but she ate every meal except the last day, which isn’t surprising. What was is that she was so comfortable she ate when we weren’t there. Even our cat Dani who usually hides from strangers came out day one and was very friendly. Ciera is amazing! Cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“This is the second time Christina has watched our dog. she is amazing. When we got home he was not stressed or anxious. She goes above and beyond. We already have her booked for next time as well. While I worry she will only get harder to book, you can't go wrong hiring her.”
About: I have cared for animals of all kinds—cats, dogs, and birds—since I was a kid. My experience includes caring for my own dogs, from newborn puppies to senior dogs with special needs like managing diabetes. I also volunteer at Jeffersonville Animal Shelter, where I walk puppies and help get them some fresh air and exercise. Additionally, I’ve had the opportunity to care for coworkers’ dogs, which has made me comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds—no dog is too small, big, young, or old for me. My own fur baby sadly passed away this past April due to cancer, and because of that, I’m passionate about spreading love and care to as many animals as possible. This work means as much to me as it does to those I’m helping! I work Wednesday through Saturday from 8 AM to 6:30 PM, so I’m happily available to care for your pets full days on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I’m also available to stay overnight during the week to keep your furry friends company and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just being there for snuggles, I treat every pet like my own and make their happiness my priority. :) When providing in-home boarding, my goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s daily routine as closely as possible—from feeding and medication to walk times and bedtime rituals! I treat your home with the utmost respect and care, keeping it clean, secure, and just as you left it. I maintain open communication throughout the stay, providing regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Hi, I currently am in school to become a vet technician! I have experience with difficult dogs and cats from my time working in the animal shelter, as well as dog and feline medications! I have 3 poodles of my own! and I have also owned rats and hamsters before. I would love to cater to your furry family! I currently work a 9-5 pm at a veterinary hospital. I have plenty time for your furry friends and their overall well being and task that may come with that. I am very flexible to fitting your normal schedule to keep your pets as comfortable as possible. I will make sure your pets are take out frequently and are able to get lots energy out and love.
About: Hi, my name is Faithe. I am 22 and am currently going to college for Phlebotomy. I have personally had three dogs in my lifetime, one a boxer and the other a border collie and I currently have a beautiful pitbull mix and 3 kittens/cats. My border collie died not long ago and I’ve been really missing my girl. I want to help others take care of their beautiful fluff babies and give them all the care and love they need. I pay attention to any eating habits or any specials steps your pet needs including medication handling. I'm currently only working two days a week so I have plenty of time to play around with pups and provide then anything they need. I have access to a dog park and have two water bowls that refill itself so no pup gets too thirsty and always keep a stock of treats 😊

Michaela R.
“Michaela has provided care for our pets on multiple occasions. We have 3 dogs, 2 very large. One of my dogs requires medication when it storms or there are fireworks in the area. Without this medication he has hurt himself due to anxiety. It was nice to have someone as knowledgeable as Michaela take care of him. I know my pets are safe and I trust that Michaela knows how to handle most situations regarding pets.”
