House Sitting Nicholasville

“Second time using Mary for house sitting. She is amazing and we will be booking again with here for another trip in the future. She communicates, follows all instructions to the letter, and leaves the house as if no one was even there. She even noticed one of our pups had an ear infection so we could get her scheduled at the vet. We would definitely recommend her.”

“Sahil was absolutely amazing! He was great to work with, very communicative, and quickly established a great bond with our pup. He stayed in our home and was very respectful and cared for it and our pup very well!”

About: I grew up riding horses and having small dogs around the house, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've been dog and cat sitting off and on for the past 8 years, and I've been working in barns and caring for horses for 12. Today, I'm lucky enough to have a dog and cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets while you're away. I have a bachelor's degree in Equine Science, with Animal Science as one of my three minors. Through my education and years of hands-on experience, I've developed a strong understanding of animal care, behavior, health, and daily management across a variety of animals. I have experience caring for senior pets, anxious and reactive animals, and animals with additional medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure each pet receives the care they need. Whether your pet wants to go on a long walk or hike, play their favorite games, or simply curl up on the couch, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I care about getting to know each pet’s personality and routine, so they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Their well-being is always my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated along the way so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I genuinely love animals and feel incredibly lucky to spend my time caring for them. I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and your pets and make your time away a little easier! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, so I can be with your pets whenever is needed. Just let me know when you would prefer me there, and I can make it work! I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while they're in my care. I take the time to learn their routines and personalities, follow your instructions closely, and give them the individual attention they need. I treat every animal as if they were my own, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your time away.

“Morgan was AWESOME! She did everything perfectly, including spending quality time with my sweet kittens! They adore her. Morgan is responsible and friendly, and a true lover of all pets! Would hire again!”

About: Observing and addressing subtle changes in a dog's behavior. Providing mentally stimulating activities like playtime, puzzle feeders, and appropriate socialization opportunities. Being flexible with scheduling and accommodating special requests. Promptly responding to inquiries, addressing concerns, and building a positive relationship with clients. Creating individual routines for each dog based on their dietary needs, exercise requirements. Regularly sending updates, photos, and videos to owners to keep them informed about their dog's well-being. I've done it all! Animals are a passion of mine! I'm a mama to 2 dogs and 1 cat! Their spoiled at their core! Let me spoil your pet too! Tuesdays are my only day of the week im not available. The rest of the week is open to work around my routine. Thank you I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play and run. I have two pups to keep your pup company. I have a safety fence in my house as well if your needing your pet separated from mine. Your pets safety is my upmost concern! I will keep your pet active by playing outside with them.

“Brian was great! He communicated well, took great care of both our dog and cat (and the dog involved giving pills regularly!) - it was great to be able to away for a weekend and trust that everything was in good hands at home!”

About: I have dog sat for both family and friends and have been referred to others who were in need of pet care. I love pet-sitting and will ensure your animal will be cared for like it was my own. I have a wide range of experience from different ages to different breeds. I am currently a full-time civil engineering student but I am usually free outside of class time. Most weekends my availability is extremely open. I care for any dog like it is my own. Ideally, before agreeing to a job I would like to be introduced to the animal and learn everything I can about its routine.

About: I have been passionately caring for dogs for 15 years. As a lifelong animal lover, I have always had pups in my own home, giving me a deep understanding of their needs. Over the years, I've been the go-to pet sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, or overnight house sitting, my loved ones have always relied on me to treat their fur babies like my own. I am also able to take care of senior dogs if needed, I am very skilled in that by giving medication on time and making sure they are well taken care of since they do need a little more love because of their age. I'm excited to bring that same dedicated, high-quality care to your pup! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be home and present throughout the day. I am fully available Monday through Friday to provide frequent potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I also have open weekend availability, ensuring your pup receives consistent care, structured routines, and extra love seven days a week! Whether I am house sitting in your home or hosting your fur baby in mine, your pet's safety and happiness comes first. My home features a secure, fenced backyard and a fun pool for outdoor play. I have friendly dogs who make excellent playmates, but I am also fully prepared to crate separate pups as needed to ensure everyone feels secure and stress-free. I am highly adaptable and happy to stick strictly to your routine!

“Ella helped us out in a pinch and was extremely responsive for the duration of her stay! She was very friendly and was flexible when unexpected surprises popped up (like our doorknob falling off our main entry door 🫠). Would definitely recommend her for dog sitting needs!”

About: I’ve grown up on a farm, caring for various types of animals including dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I have years of experience working at animal shelters and clinics which makes me prepared for any type of situation. I’m skilled in providing loving, reliable care for all animals, big and small. I’m currently a full time college student so I will have classes throughout the day but am available in the mornings and the afternoons. Weekends are usually free unless noted otherwise. Ensuring a safe, calm, and comfortable environment is my priority. I’ll make sure your pup feels secure and happy while under my care, providing them with all the attention and safety they deserve!

“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I’ve always loved animals, and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to earn a little extra while settling into my new full-time job. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members, and I’d love to be that person for you! Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or companionship, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve had experience caring for pets of different sizes and personalities, and I understand every animal has their own needs and routine. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your pet and provide the care they deserve! I work a full-time job at UK and im just settling in, so if you have a furbaby that's in need of caring for because of a busy summer schedule. Book with me and dont send them to a kennel or dog day care. I have a strict no dog policy at my house as I live at home rn and my parents have 3 huskies and its chaotic as is. Will up date if changes.

“Susanna is the absolute best!!! She is the sweetest, kindest, most gentle and loving human. There was an instant connection with her and I. And her and our pets. I felt safe and comfortable with her and my pets in a way I have never had. She gave updates. And I felt like i was talking with my friend. I never had to worry once with our precious cargo. I knew they were well loved, and well taken care of. She’s just the most magical human. Bringing a sense of calm to our entire household. ❤️”

“Emily is lovely and took great care of our dog Scout! She kept Scout so comfortable and gave her lots of love while we were away. She took the time to send us pictures and updates throughout our trip too! We came home to a very neat home and a very happy pup. We feel lucky to have found such a caring and dependable pet sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to house sit again the next time we go on a trip. Thanks Emily!”

About: I've lived in a cat household for 17 years and have loved every second of it! I also have experience doing drop-ins, walks, and overnights with dogs ranging from the puppy stage to senior dogs. I love the snuggles and play time, and would love to help take care of your fur babies whenever needed! I work from home and am flexible and very dependable when needed! I live in south-central Lexington and am 10-15 minutes away from just about everywhere in town. I understand how important it is to ensure the happiness of your fur babies. I will engage your dog or cat in fun playtime that lets them get their energy out, take them on walks (if applicable), and then top it all off with a good meal and plenty of belly rubs to make any furry friend happy!

About: I’ve been caring for pets from a very young age! I currently have 2 of my own. I adore animals and would love the chance to take care of yours! I go to school and work 3 days a week! However I will always be available fridays, Saturday, Sundays after 4:30, and most other days after 4:30! I can also do morning check ins before 9 typically! I will always introduce myself very calmly and extend my hand to say hello in a non threatening way! I always want your pets to be comfortable with me. I will also do anything extra the animal needs to make it feel safe and loved.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I have always owned at least one cat and one dog at the same time, and I currently have two dogs and one cat, including giving medicine. All of my animals have been rescue pets with different needs and challenges. I have also helped to raise a litter of puppies alongside my neighbor who fostered them, volunteered at BARCS and provided help to my neighbors, friends and family with their pets. I am currently interning part time, so I have a lot of flexibility and time to care for your pets on both weekdays and weekends. I have experience with walking dogs, playing with dogs in a fenced in area, as well as working with animals who are crated or have to follow specific routines.

About: Hello! I have lots of pet care experience. Throughout my life I’ve had many different types of animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, you name it. I think pets are such a sacred thing and are just as important as any other member of the family. I will go to great lengths to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of! I am currently in between jobs so I have all the time in the world to hang out with your pets! It would be just as beneficial to me to get some doggy cuddles. I am available day or night. For sitting in a clients home, I will do whatever is necessary to keep your pets on their comfortable schedule. Whether that’s the dog park, or couch cuddles. I currently live in an apartment but I have a dog park close by and an open court yard just outside my door for potty time if need be.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Esther! I’m a college student who has been on Rover for over two years. Most of my experience is with younger dogs but I love taking care of seniors too. I currently don’t have any pups so I pet-sit to stay active and continue being around animals. I am a student with a lot of mid day and weekend availability. I’m very flexible, especially on holidays and during school breaks. I have a lot of experience house sitting as well and I love overnight visits. When leaving your pets with me, they’ll be treated as my own. I believe in open and transparent communication so I’ll provide lots of updates. I have skills in leash training, crate training, and grooming. I would love to keep your pet company! For safety on house sitting appointments, I plan on meeting clients and their pups before providing services to make sure we’re a good fit.
