“Mary went above and beyond to care for our cat. Our cat is very skiddish around new people, but Mary took her time to be patient and let Callie warm up to her. We really appreciated her thoroughness and reliability. Followed all instructions to a tee and provided great daily updates. Highly recommend booking Mary!”

“Billy is great! Our cat Ted absolutely loves him. He was timely with his visits and was great with communication. We will definitely be booking him again!”

“Eleanor was great, reliable, and took very good care of our cat. She kept us informed every time and sent lots of photos. Eleanor went above and beyond! We are very grateful.”

“Mitzi was absolutely fabulous!! I always try to find a cat-sitter who has experience with cats and they were very very fast friends. Mitzi kept me updated frequently throughout the weekend and was so sweet!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, caring for all kinds of breeds from small lap dogs to larger, more energetic pups so I’m comfortable meeting the needs of dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also pay attention to subtle changes in behavior or mood so I can adjust my care to what your dog needs in the moment. My family and friends often ask me first to watch their dogs because they know I will take care of both their pets and their home as if they were my own. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, and providing attention and reassurance. I follow any instructions you provide to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a consistent weekday schedule (8am-5pm), but I make time for pet care before and after work, and can do a midday check-in during my lunch break with a little advance notice. Your pet will still get regular attention, care, and company throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I always make it a priority to respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I know how important consistency is and I do my best to keep things calm and familiar while you’re away. I’m very mindful about things like securely locking doors, keeping a clean environment, and making sure your pet stays safe and comfortable at all times. I’m very respectful of your home and will always leave things as I found them. I pay close attention to details and will follow any instructions you provide, whether that’s feeding routines, medications, or specific preferences your pet has. I will also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. At this time, I offer care in clients’ homes only, which allows pets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment.
“Missy was wonderful! This was my first Rover experience and I was very nervous with my cats needing medication twice daily but Missy was on time and great with communicating. I really appreciated the cute pictures she sent with each visit and I would definitely schedule with her again!”


About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and grew up at home with dogs and a cat, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. In high school I volunteered at a local animal shelter where I spent time socializing with both dogs and cats, helping them feel comfortable, playing with them, and giving them attention. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I enjoy making time to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m fully available on Tuesdays and have morning and evening availability on most weekdays. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays I’m generally available before 10 AM and after 4:30 PM. I’m typically unavailable on Saturdays, and on Sundays I’m available in the morning and later evening. I always do my best to be flexible when possible and communicate clearly with pet owners to make sure their pets receive consistent and reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs so pets can feel secure while their owner is away. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and companionship. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets love lots of play and activity, while others prefer quiet companionship, and I’m happy to adjust to what makes them feel most relaxed. I always aim to keep pets safe, happy, and well cared for, and I treat each home with respect and cleanliness. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.
About: I have personal and professional pet care experience. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home. I have worked with dogs for 7 years in daycare, boarding and grooming settings. I am currently a dog groomer out in goshen Kentucky and I get off work pretty early usually anywhere from 1-3 pm. I live out near the airport though so I drive all over Louisville everyday, perfect for making pit stops for your critters in need! I will make sure your pet(s) are well taken care of while respecting your home. Your fur baby's happiness and well being is my first priority!
“Very happy with Breanna's drop in visits! She sent lots of pictures and detailed updates. The house was very clean even where my cats eat and love making a mess. Will definitely request future visits with her!”

About: I’ve had animals in my home for over 20 years, and caring for them is something I truly love. Over the years I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family by pet sitting and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages—from young animals who are still learning routines to senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, or medication. My approach to pet care is ethical, intentional, and transparent. I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, respected, and loved. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing attentive, trustworthy care you can feel confident about. I work full time during the week, but I’m available for pet care after 5:30 PM on weekdays and throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. This allows me to dedicate focused, intentional time to each pet in my care. Whether your pet needs an evening walk, a drop-in visit, or weekend care, I’m happy to help make sure they stay comfortable, active, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed and believe in clear, transparent communication, including updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m always happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so both you and your pet feel completely comfortable.
“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”

“Nina was great with our two cats, giving us such peace of mind while we were out of town. Especially since our older one has special medical needs. And we got pictures every day!”
About: I dog-sat a lot in high school and am ready to do it again! I’d love to have an animal of my own but think this would be a great solution for right now. I’m loving, caring, kind, and ready to watch some beautiful doggies (or kitties!)!! I currently have a kitty named Vader. He is kind and great with other animal. Due to teaching full time, I will be available during the weekends for the most part. If needed during the week, we can talk and negotiate. I have a yard (not fenced) for walks around the block. I’m located near several dog parks to let your dogs run and play fetch. I have a cat that is friendly and up-to-date on all shots.
