About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8 years old. I’m comfortable with all breeds, including Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds. I was raised alongside a Pitbull Terrier mix, and later went on to adopt a full blooded Pitbull. Our family had a Boxer mix for 13 years until recently, and she was in very good shape up until the end. I would love to care for your pets as I have cared for mine! When I still had my dogs, I would feed them three times a day and give them medicine up to five times a day. If they had a little too much energy, I would play with them until they were tired out. I would let them outside as often as they needed, even if they just wanted to lay out there (when the weather is nice, of course). I cared for my dogs by paying attention to their body language and vocalizations. Often times, what they needed is something simple, like to go outside or when they were ready to eat, but on rare occasions they’d act a little unusual and that was when I’d take them into the vet’s office. I always made sure my dogs are in the best health possible.
About: I’ve been training my dogs as well as my friends dogs. I’m the type of person who goes to a gathering and if there is a dog I hang with the dog. I work 3-4 hours a day in the from 9-1 so I have plenty of availability. I am free most weekends as well as most evenings. I have two other dogs who have are great with other dogs and have helped me train other dogs as well. I have fostered for the local Humane Society in the past as well. I love playing with my dogs and taking them for walks.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for many years now. My parents are Rover sitters and we have taken care of several different dogs. I have been exposed to all different breeds and ages. I have also given animals their medication. I am always free during the summer. I can walk your dog, check on your cats or anything else that you need. Just let me know. I would go to your home as many times a day as needed and stay the night if preferred. I can put your dog in its crate or let them sleep in bed with me. I am very accommodating to the needs of your pet.
About: I have experience with cats of all ages (kittens to 21+), and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with service puppies in training, elderly cats with special diets and medication schedules, and raised several kittens. I have experience with dog-anxious dogs, older puppies, and senior dogs. I’m currently a full time MA student, and am happy to fit pet care around my teaching and class schedule! I am available on weekends and some weekdays. I have separation anxiety from my own babies, and I understand that you might as well! I provide in-home services only, so your dogs/cats are comfortably in their own space. I love to send picture updates, check in about any changes, and am used to carefully opening doors due to escape-artist cats. I am also comfortable crating dogs.
“Kim did an amazing job. I really appreciated that she visited my cats at the agreed upon time and sent me informative Rover Reports every time! The cats seemed to take well to her and there was little conflict. I have no criticisms, she was really great. I would definitely use her services again in the future!”

“Lindsey was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! She took such great care of Oscar and went above and beyond to make sure I felt at ease while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Natasha did a fantastic job pet sitting my dog and cat. She watched them for two weeks and made sure they had everything they needed to be happy. I look forward having her look after them again!”

“Layla was very reliable in taking care of my puppy! She responded promptly and helped ease my stress with pictures and a sweet note during her drop in visit. My booking was rather last minute so I appreciate her responding quickly and helping me make sure Juni was taken care of.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for years with different size dogs and multiple dogs at a time; I have loved dogs since a young age and carry it with me always! I love animals! I’m a huge dog and cat lover! I don’t have any dogs of my own, as I care for other’s animals as if they were my own! I can always come to your home and sit your dogs and cats! I want them to be as happy and comfortable as possible! I am always willing to plan my schedule around your fur babies!
About: As a Veterinary Nurse, Animal Obedience, Behavioral and Therapy Dog Trainer, and farm owner, I have enjoyed caring for a wide variety of animals. I would love to be able to help your pet feel safe, loved and happy while you are not able to be there by providing them expert care. As a self-employed consultant, I enjoy a very flexible schedule. This makes it possible for me to better accommodate the needs of my clients and their pets. I provide petsitting in your home as well as drop in visits, walks and even behavioral consultations/training upon request. When caring for your friend, I strive to keep their routine in tact while providing a fun and safe environment for then until their favorite person (you) returns. I am very experienced with variety of breeds, ages and environments and this confidence helps to put your companion at ease which creates a positive experience for everyone!
“Kayla was great!! We had piece of mind having her do daily check-ins with our kittens and elderly/special needs cat while we were on vacation for a week. We knew they were in good hands. We will use her services again!!we appreciate her pictures and communication!”


About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for many years. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I always try to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any instructions, whether it’s caring for energetic dogs, shy cats, or pets that just need extra love and attention. I work online a few hours a day with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and give them attention throughout the day. I can easily adjust my routine for walks, feeding times, playtime, or check-ins. I’m usually available on weekdays and I also have availability on weekends depending on the booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel relaxed and secure. I pay close attention to their behavior, making sure they have enough exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and make sure everything stays clean, safe, and calm for your pet.
“Mary did an incredible job watching our dogs through the holidays. We had multiple flight cancellations and Mary was so flexible and reliable, extending care until we made it home safely. She sent regular pictures which helped ease some of the anxiety I had missing the pups, and we came home to a clean home, happy and healthy dogs, and she even brought in the mail for us! We are so grateful we found her.”

Nicholasville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kayla was amazing! Extremely accommodating and friendly! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on everything going on with my pup and was easy to communicate with. Made my day away much less stressful knowing my Letty was so well cared for. Can’t recommend her enough! Thank you!

Megan was wonderful. We did a meet and great, and she has a genuine honesty about her, that I felt safe with her in my home to take care of my 3 basset hounds. She uploaded pictures of them drinking water and eating- so I knew they were taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Megan and use her services again.
