“We’ve only been working with Victoria for a week, but we already love her! She is kind and compassionate with our aging, high maintenance doggos and takes great care of them! Would highly recommend her!”


About: I have had experience with caring for animals my whole life. I have experience training puppies and older dogs as well. I am well experienced with senior dogs! I also have experience in grooming/bathing different breeds of dog, if that is something you would be interested in. I am experienced with cats, horses, guinea pigs and a variety of reptiles. I have volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for several cats and dogs. I have also completed veterinary science/ animal science classes to learn more about animals in general. Over time I notice that animals sense people, most animals love me and sense that I am a genuine, caring person right off the bat. I don’t have a very busy schedule. I am not employed, so I have a lot of time to care for your fur babies. I am an online student at NKU. So I do all of my school work at home! I have a large fenced in area in the back of my yard. I have large/medium/small kennels if needed for boarding. I will spend a lot of pictures too!

“My senior dog was very well taken care of during our absence. I loved receiving daily updates and pictures so I wouldn’t miss him so much! Thank you for taking care of him while we were gone.”


“Lucy does a great job!! She’s taken my dog for multiple walks. Always sends the cutest photos! Does a great job with communication and always remembers to lock up when she leaves. Highly recommend!”


“Amanda was great! We needed her to walk our dog while we were gone all day to visit family out of town on Christmas Day. We were first time Rover users and a little nervous, but Amanda graciously allowed us to do a “meet and greet” a few days before so Snickers was familiar with her. We only needed her to walk her so she could potty, but Amanda went above and beyond and stayed with her the whole 30 minutes she was booked with us. Amazing! And on Christmas Day too. 😊”


About: Over the last 15 years i have cared for a variety of dogs in many locations. Off leash camping and hiking, senior dog care, blindness, and insulin dependant diabetic dogs. My current 2 dogs were raised from puppies and trained by myself and my wife. My household has 2 dogs that i am responsible for. I feed, bathe, and exercise both. Occasionally i also sit for extended family's dogs, since they are less friendly and i do very well with them. My wife and i sont have children, so our dogs fill that role in our lives. In the past, i have cared for my elderly diabetic dog, including insulin injections, oral medication, and blindness support. I have also cared for and am experienced in dogs with epilepsy.


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've worked on horse farms since I was 16, earned my bachelors in equine science and have a masters of science degree. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I also have a strong understanding of animal behaviors and body language. I am also very passionate in dog training as well. I have experience in administering IM medications and oral medications. I have worked for WAG! which is another walking/boarding platform where I would walk clients dogs on demand and also provided in home boarding. I am currently not working so I am home most of the day. A typical day for me starts between 8-10 am where I immediately let the dogs out to use the bathroom and then back in for breakfast. I occasionally leave the house to run errands but usually not longer than 2 hours. Can tailor to your dogs need if they can't be left alone. Throughout the day I will let the dogs outside as they wish and always with supervision. I feed dinner around 6:30pm. For drop in visits I am able to tailor for whatever your animals needs are and typically available for multiple drop in visits during the day if needed. I have a large fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats. I have multiple rooms if your pet needs so quiet time or space from the other animals. I am equipped with multiple crates and baby gates as well if needed. I have a backseat dog hammock and and dog seat belts if needed as well.

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember and was in charge of their baths, I have trained my personal dog basic commands and how to walk on a leash. I will be taking a few classes at UK and have plenty of time MWF after them to spend with your pets, I am unavailable the other days due to work. I will not be offering in home boarding as I live in an apartment and we do not have a pet on our lease to be able to accommodate.

About: We are experienced in taking care of small and large breed dogs. We love to walk them and care for each client’s pet as our own. We have been a pet owners for over 20 yrs and also help take care or family and friends pets when they are gone. We love caring for dogs. My wife works weekends and I work through the week. Someone is home all day. We are gone for church and kids activities in the evenings and Sunday morning. We have 4 kids ages 7-17 that love helping with the dogs. Your dog will get plenty of attention while boarding here. We have a small puggle who is 5. My daily personal pet care routine consists of 2 meals and water daily. 1-2 mile walks. Toby gets a treat after he goes potty. We let him out in the fenced backyard every 3-4 hours or when he goes to the door. He also likes to lay on the deck and sunbath. We love and treat each client’s pet as it was our very own. We love to care for dogs and have a special connection with them. We are patient and kind and take time to learn each pets routine and behaviors. We can’t wait to get to know your dog and care for them!

About: I have always been a dog owner having owned all sizes from German Shepherds to Chihuahuas. I have taken care of senior dogs, blind dogs, and those terminally ill. Currently I recently lost my doodle and just can’t bring myself to get e new dog yet. I know when a perfect rescue comes along, I will make that choice. For now, I can get me “puppy fix” through taking care of others. To me, animals are not just pets, they are family. And I love nd. Are for them as such. I am an avid walker, hikers and kayaker. If you would like your dog to take an hour long hike, I would love it. When I had a dog of my own, we hiked twice a day, sometimes for hours at a time. A hike is so much better seen through the eyes af a dog. I often go to Hisle Farm off Brian Station Road, Veterans Park, Jacobson Park, and the Pinaclea in Berea. If your dog likes dog parks, we have a great one at Veterans. I am retired, active in hiking and kayaking. I am very flexible, just needing to watch family members play soccer. 😂😂. I do travel a bit because I have family in Washington DC, the Outer Banks, and Florida. But when I’m not traveling, I am very flexible and will put your animals first on my daily schedule. I am old enough to have had many years of experience with animals. I have lived on a farm and had four dogs at a time. I have rescued animals from severe situations and found placement for them or kept them as my own. I have had military trained German shepherds and tiny 5 pound Chihuahuas. I’ve actually had those together and they learned to be great friends. I have nurtured 15 year-old dogs of my own through cancer and euthanasia. I have also lived in a subdivision with one single 110 pound doodle, which I kept entertained by taking numerous hikes each day. If I’m making visits to your home for dog walking, I can easily adapt to your schedule. If you need me to stay at your home, I would need to leave during the day to come back to my home to take care of my cats. I would not need to be away more than a couple hours at a time, so you would not have to worry about lengthy time between potty breaks..

About: Growing up, I have always had two to five dogs in my house! I love pets & feel confident & responsible taking care of them! I have been using Rover for awhile now & this past year, I actually dog walked for a company in Charleston, SC (DogStar Petcare) averaging about 20 hours a week for a 6 month period. I’ve walked & taken care of just about any dog you could imagine! I am a graduate student at the University of Kentucky! I have one class Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday afternoons & two classes mid-morning/day on Tues/Thursdays this Spring 24 semester, Other than that, I am mostly free if I have enough advance time! I cannot have pets at my home, but will be sure to follow any instructions at the client's home to ensure that the pet is safe. When walking the animal(s), I will take them on any preferred route as well!

“Delaney is responsible, always on time, and does a very good job! My dogs love her and get so excited every time she comes over. She does an amazing job! You can count on her to take care of your dogs without any concerns!”


About: I’ve had my own dogs since I was a kid. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family since I was in high school. I volunteer with a dog rescue so I have experience with dogs of all kinds from puppies to seniors. I work full-time at a wealth management company. I have plenty of time after work and on weekends to give dogs potty breaks or go for walks or car rides. If pet sitting, I prefer weekends, but would consider weekdays depending on the situation. My dogs are my world and I will take care of your pets like my own. They are allowed on furniture and in all rooms. They always have access to fresh water and can go outside to the fenced yard as needed.

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: Hi! I'm Audrey! I'm currently a stay at home mama, so my schedule is very flexible! I am happy to do a meet and greet with you & your fur baby before we get scheduled, please reach out if you have questions! I can't wait to talk to you! More about me: I grew up in a home with dogs from the time that I was a baby - I can't ever remember a time in my life where I didn't have a fur baby. I was first rescued by my dog, Kiah, when I was 13 years old. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 dog friendly cats (though these kitties stay in separate rooms away from the areas your animals would be). If you have an animal that needs shots, medications, or any special needs - I'm the girl for you; I have personal experience with my own animals that have needed shots, medicines, etc. For dog walking: I'm a stay at home mama so I have plenty of time during the day to stop in to see your baby! I can do anywhere between 15 minute walks to 60 minute walks. For doggy daycare or boarding: Still a stay at home mom - ha! This means I am home most of the day unless I am taking other pups on walks. My husband also works from home so there is someone here a majority of the time, unless we are going grocery shopping that weekend! We also have three dog loving kids! Our dogs spend a lot of time playing in the backyard and resting snuggled up on our couches. For dog walking: I love being outside - so spending quality time with your baby on a walk is important to me! I always make sure to have water accessible for your baby before/after a walk as well. On our walks, I'll make sure to have bags to pick up any bathroom needs as well! For doggy daycare & boarding: We are home a majority of the time, when we aren't home we always prefer to crate dogs that are crate trained that way they are able to stay safe! If they aren't, we are happy to work with you & see what you do with your baby when you're gone. We never leave two dogs that aren't familiar with each other alone in the same room either!
