“Tesla did a fantastic job with my two kitties. She followed my directions, gave them lots of affection and sent me detailed notes and lots of pics after each visit. Highly recommend!”
“She was incredibly flexible as my roommate had a funeral and had to change her availability. I appreciate her professionalism, flexibility, and last-minute booking. Literally when she walked in the house, all three dogs and two cats were super affectionate with her. She kept me updated when she came and sent photos. I would highly recommend!”
“Rachelle was terrific with updates, photos, and communication! She took very good care of our kitty! We will definitely be contacting her the next time we go out of town.”
“This was my first time using Rover & so I really had no idea what to expect. Haley set up a time to meet me & my dogs before we left for vacation which worked out so well. My dogs were familiar with her when she came the first time, and by the end of the week they clearly loved her! My dogs had a couple issues during the week, and Haley was a trooper and not phased one bit. I would definitely recommend her for your pets!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. For two years I worked at a vet clinic while in high school. I currently am a volunteer at Lexington Humane Society while I’m a student at University of Kentucky. I’m currently available anytime during weekends and the summer. I do work other jobs and have school throughout the week. My schedule is pretty flexible overall though, and I have a dependable car. I walk my dogs at home and at the shelter, so they are all a variety of sizes. I can crate your dog if need be; or just be their support person while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of animal since I was a kid. I started bottle feeding strays kitten I had found at around the age of 8. Puppies are slightly different for me as I never raised them but still given the same care. I work full time for amazon, but want to devote more of my time to caring for animal so I do make sure I have a flexible schedule. I don’t have anything unsafe in my home for my own pets, so the same will go for someone else’s. They’re not limited to where they can spend their time. I do use precautions to keep away from the cat boxes for dogs.

Nick O.
“I can’t recommend Nick highly enough as a pet caregiver. He has a natural gift when it comes to animals, patient, attentive, and full of love. From the first time I saw him interact with a dog, it was clear how much he genuinely cares for their happiness and well-being. Whether it’s going on long walks, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs and snuggles, Nick truly goes above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. Nick is also incredibly responsible. He always shows up on time, follows instructions to the letter, and checks in with updates and photos to keep you in the loop. It gives such peace of mind knowing that your pet is not only being looked after, but is being treated like part of the family. He’s handled everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need medication and a gentler touch, always with compassion and professionalism. Beyond that, Nick is just a kind and trustworthy person. He creates a calm, positive environment that animals are naturally drawn to. My own dog absolutely lights up when Nick comes around, and that says everything. You won’t find someone more dedicated or more genuine. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pet like their own, Nick is your guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my fur baby in his care again, and I know they’d be wagging their tail the whole time.”
