“Kelsey arrived promptly and stayed the full time. Kelsey did exactly what we discussed for Luca's care (feeding, taking him out and playing with him). Kelsey sent us timely updates on Luca. I would highly recommend her to any one.”
“Lauren & Joseph took great care of our GSD russ while we were out on vacation! Photos of every drop-in were provided and communication was excellent. They went above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog in his backyard area!! Would definitely suggest going with them if you’re looking for exceptional care and will definitely be using them in the future!!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for over 2 years. I love all pets no matter what type! I understand that pets are family and require the best care! My current work schedule allows for me to be off in the summer! I want to use that time to take care of pets! I love my dogs like family and I will yours too! I can take care of your pet the way you need me to. I have experience with walking, crating, or letting dogs out in the yard. Whatever your needs are, I can deliver.
About: I grew up with 2 cats and 3 dogs, and have 3 cats as an adult! I have always been caring for animals, so you can trust me with yours! I also have a cat with a life long disease, so I understand the fear of leaving them with a stranger and hoping they’re okay. I PROMISE they will be in the best possible care! I am a full time elementary music teacher, so I work from 7-3 M-F. I do not work on the weekends, and can do any time on weekends and afternoons on weekdays! I give them the best pets and loving possible, and give my kitties little kisses on the head whenever they come to get them. I make sure they are consistently well fed and their litter is always perfect.
“Jim was so easy to work with when we needed someone to come let Hershey out late at night with little notice. He arrived on time, sent us pictures, and was so sweet to our baby! I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely use him in the future!”
“Courtney was great for our drop in visits. Quick communication and very happy pets! She walked and played with our dog and was great knowing she was there to give them some company. Would def book again!”
About: I've been an animal lover and owner all my life (dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, horses, goats, pot-belly pigs, etc.) until a few years ago when I lost my last dog. I decided then that I wasn't going to get a new dog or cat, at least for now, and only love on others' pets. I've been pet and housesitting for the last five+ years, am extremely responsible, and have excellent local references. I'm a freelance book editor and formatter working from home (I also build websites), have a flexible schedule, and am able to work from anywhere with good wifi signal that I can have access to. I also work a part-time job in Oldham County that I go to several times a week so pets must be able to stay alone at least 7 hours at a time. Because I primarily work from wherever I'm staying, I cannot stay with high-maintenance pets who require a high amount of attention. I am living in the east end of Louisville (Prospect) area and would love to help you with your pet needs! Non-smoking homes only please! Rates for house and pet sitting are for a 24 hour period, so anything beyond that will be an additional $15.00/hour (or a full-day rate, whichever is less - NOT the extended care rates just added by Rover that they will not let me remove). Please let me know if you have any questions! Since I work a part-time job, the pets must be able to stay at home for at least 7 hours at a time. Other days I work from wherever I'm staying. Each pet and family have various needs so I will discuss particulars with you before the stay to make sure it's a good fit for everyone.
About: Hello! I am a positive-reinforcement based dog trainer and lover who has experience with a plethora of dog breeds, ages, temperaments, and medical issues. I have an extensive history with caring for and training dogs, with a specialization in the training of fearful or reactive dogs. I believe that the responsibility of caring for another’s pet goes beyond the necessities: it is ensuring that the dog is comforted during an often difficult time, and the owner is reassured that their pet is in the best hands. Further, it is necessary to be sure that the animals physical, emotional, and needs are fully met. I hope to establish a relationship with the pet(s) and their owners. I genuinely care about the wellbeing of animals and make a great effort to ensure that the pet is comfortable and well taken care of. I am currently working in other animal care positions and am able to adjust my schedule to your pet’s care needs. My schedule is relatively flexible, and can be adjusted. I have a sweet Shetland Sheepdog who lives with me, as well as cats. I am very cautious about keeping doors (and inside gates) firmly closed to ensure safety,
About: I've had dogs my whole life from small yorkies to big farm dogs. I also, have experience taking care of ailing 13 and 14 year old dogs that need special care. I love any and all dogs!! I'm currently talking summer online college courses, so I have very flexible hours and can work weekdays and weekends. I can do early mornings or evenings. I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own, with care and love. I can also, send you updates about your dog or dogs.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and have treated each one like my own children. I believe a dog’s care is a vital responsibility, as they are a cherished part of the family. Be it to check on your dog while you're away, make sure they get the love and play they need, or to make sure they enjoy a good trip outdoors, you can vacation or leave town knowing when you return, one of the most important things in your life was safe, respected, and loved. I have a full time job, so mid-day weekday visits are a challenge, but am fully free on weekends, mornings, and evenings. Mainly weekends, but can walk and check-in most evenings. I can house sit during the week and weekends whenever I am in town for it. Each home/apartment owner has their own rules and needs. My goal is to follow them to the letter. From feeding and care instructions, to activities allowed, I'll invest in the structure familiar to the pet while offering all the affection the dog is comfortable with receiving.
