Tara is wonderful! She has been weekly walking our giant goof of a dog, Jolene, for almost an entire year. Tara provides great updates, photos and always gives Jolene extra belly rubs.

About: I've been in the house/pet sitting business for a couple years now. I've worked in houses with anywhere between one animal to seven animals! I am absolutely open to exotic pets as well as I have a few of my own and would love to meet different species. I also worked in a zoo for 4 years, and currently work in a vets office, so I have plenty of different experiences. I look forward to meeting your babies:) I currently work at a vets office Thursday-Saturday from 9am-5:30pm (1pm on Saturdays), and volunteer Sunday nights, so I would unfortunately not be able to provide around the clock care. Otherwise, I am at the home all day! I am open to frequent walks, brushing, bathing, giving medication, and any other specific needs for your pet! I understand how tedious and picky some animals tend to be, so I'm open to any accommodations necessary.

About: I have had fur babies all my life. From puppy stage to senior care. They are truly part of the family. I look forwards to loving on yours I have the please of working from home, fitting your pet into my daily routine would be identical to how I am able to send time with my own. I have a huge fenced in yard. I have one fur baby he is a bernedoodle who is turning two at the end of this year. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys the company. So I am able to provide each pet with the love they need I have very limited space on how many dogs I will keep at once. If your pet enjoys walks, we will go on walks, enjoy fetch in the backyard, we will play fetch in the back yard. Your pet is part of my family once you guys enter my home. I do have children who love to run around with animals also.

About: I have been an animal lover, animal rescuer and pet care taker all my life. I have walked dogs, and cared for cats since I was a child. I currently have a special needs cat, plus two others high needs(spoiled) kitties. I have a good deal of experience medicating and caring for cats and dogs. I walk my parents’ dog for them daily. I took care of a neighbors cats for her while she was traveling for almost a year. Your animal babies will always be safe and cared for with me. I am currently an online ESL instructor for JCPS. I work from home part-time. I also need to be able to medicate my own epileptic kitty at 9 am and 9 pm every day. My schedule is very flexible around these reaponsibilities. I am an experienced, responsible and caring dog walker. I can provide pets with care and company in their homes in whatever way is the least disruptive and the most comforting to them.

I have an old and sensitive GSD that I am normally very protective over; I had to leave her for a week and the whole time I felt my dog was completely safe and attended to in Kathryn's hands. She provided meaningful updates and expressed genuine affection, support, and care for my animal. I would definitely have her care for my dog again.

About: LGBTQ+ and all inclusive! I’ve been around and caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me early on how to understand their behavior, respect their space, and build trust with them. I’ve always felt a natural connection with animals, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or somewhere in between. I’ve also handled daily care routines like feeding, potty breaks, administering oral medications, and basic grooming. Whether your dog wants to play, explore, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the whole time. My goal is simple: happy dogs, wagging tails, and peace of mind for you. I work part-time early mornings (1 AM – 5 AM, Monday through Friday), so my main availability is typically from 2 PM to 1 AM. I’m a great fit for afternoon, evening, and late-night care. I can also do early morning visits right after my shift if needed. I keep a consistent schedule and do my best to stay flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs! I take a lot of pride in caring for my own pets and making sure they’re always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I stay consistent with feeding, playtime, and giving them attention, while also paying close attention to their behavior and needs. I treat every animal with patience and care, and I bring that same mindset into how I care for others’ pets.

Lauran was fantastic while I was visiting Louisville for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby weekend. Her communication was top notch, always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the two days. I especially appreciated her flexibility when I needed to add an extra walk at the last minute, she was incredibly accommodating and handled it without any issues. It’s a huge relief to find someone so reliable and easy to work with when you're visiting another city for an event. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and adaptable walker!

About: Taking care of pets is not just a responsibility—it’s my passion! Whether it’s long walks, fun playtime, or lots of cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a hybrid work schedule that lets me work remotely half the week. On the days I go into the office, typically Monday through Wednesday, I can easily return home during lunch since my office is just a few minutes away. I have a cozy home with a fenced-in patio and it’s located just minutes away from several beautiful parks. At home, I share my space with my sweet cat, Nagini. If needed, I’m happy to keep your pet comfortably separate to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old! Between looking after my own dog and my family's, I have the experience and love to make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve! I'm a middle school teacher in the Louisville area, so weekends are the best for house sitting and longer watching periods! During the weekday afternoons, I would love to help check in, play with your pup, or give them a nice long walk! Communication is the most important thing. I will always follow the wishes of the owner to make sure your pets are cared for in the most consistent way possible. Your boundaries are mine, and I always act in the best interest of you and your pets!

Very sweet! Was able to accommodate me on very short notice, which I appreciated. She brought a treat for Biscuit, which he loves, and was understanding of his initial barking when she showed up. Sent me plenty of photos and texted to update me on how he behaved. Thank you!
