“Paige is wonderful, and took excellent care of our dog while we traveled! As he is a rescue with some past trauma and special needs, we were a bit nervous to leave him, but Paige was so sweet and understanding with him. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that he was in great hands, and that our home was as well!”


“Ashley gave my dogs such great care! She went out of her way to spend extra time with them and walked them a lot. She was very respectful and easy to work with! I’d love to have her watch Remy and Peyton again ☺️”


“I cannot say enough good things about Daniel. We had hired another sitter who, in the middle of a 3 week stay abandoned our dog. I was able to reach Daniel on very short notice and he stepped in and saved the day. He stayed with Buddy and provided excellent care until we returned home. This is the second time we have used Daniel and both times he was great. Not only was the dog well cared for, the house was clean and tidy when we returned.”


“Mary was great with both of our dogs over the weekend. She sent a ton of photo updates and seemed to enjoy spending time with them and playing with them. They’re both older and one needs medicine twice daily, which she was able to administer.”


“Kylie was absolutely wonderful with my dog and two feral cats that I care for. She’s kind, responsive, and kept me up to date on everything happening with my pup and home. She left my house clean and even washed and changed my sheets! I trust her completely with my babies.”


“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”


“Sandra exceeded our expectations by a mile! We have two 6 month old Golden Retriever puppies who are a lot of work and Sandra handled their care with ease! We received morning and evening updates with plenty of pictures to relieve our anxiety from leaving them. One of our puppies needed two daily medications and Sandra was very prompt with their med schedule. She provided daily walks and was always there to let them outside to run around and play and give them plenty of love. When we returned from our trip we had daily notes on what the boys were up to, any new behaviors or just new funny quirks they developed. We also were able to see the spreadsheets she brought verifying the walks and meals they were given. Our house was left very clean and tidy and so were the puppies! It’s not even a question, we will most definitely be using Sandra in the future!!”


“Gabrielle was great! Very responsive, left the house clean and tidy. My dog looks well cared for and loved while I was away. Appreciate everything! Will use her help again!”


About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I have had many animals of my own my whole life along with pet sitting for many family members, friends, and neighbors. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked in a vet office for over a year now and with my hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m trained to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy pups. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life — not just a job, but a commitment I truly enjoy. I build my schedule around my clients’ pets to ensure consistency, comfort, and reliability. Caring for pets in their own home keeps their environment consistent and stress-free. I follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and medication. I stick to your instructions for house rules, routines, and preferences. I tidy up after myself (and your pet), water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home secure. I provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Anamaria was truly amazing staying over to watch our dog and cat! Very thorough up front to learn how we’d like for her to care for our pets. Then she was great at communicating updates and sending pics. Even helped clean up our house to spotless before she left! 10/10 will hire Anamaria again to watch our girls”


“Betsy did an amazing job with my pups! She is very reliable and will take great care of your home and fur babies. Great communicator and sends updates. :) I highly recommend Betsy to anyone, you won’t regret it!”


About: I’ve loved dogs (and cats) since I can remember! I’ve taken care of dogs for about 3 years now, whether that be family, friends, and/or neighbors pets. I am a full time student at the University of Louisville but will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available during the week and some weekends. I keep my eyes on your fur baby at all times to ensure they’re not getting into any trouble and are safe. Will follow all instructions regarding your fur baby.

“Reyna was wonderful to work with. She let us know her schedule prior to booking to make sure it would work with our dogs needs. She communicated on a regular basis on how our dog was doing. Our dog can be very anxious and difficult and Reyna handled her very well. We got lots of pictures while we were gone, which were great. Definitely will use Reyna again.”


“Rachel is a great house and dog sitter! My place was well taken care of, and even more importantly, I came home to a happy doggo. I could tell that my good boy had the attention and care that he needed while I was gone and it’s so nice to have that peace of mind while out of town. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone that loves their pet!”


“Aliyah is beyond amazing when it comes to house and dog sitting. She went above and beyond with taking him for walks, hiking playing fetch and even took him to breakfast. She is very highly recommended, I will definitely be rebooking her again! 5 stars all the way!!!”



“Christina is terrific! She spent the day with our 2 pups to get to know them before an upcoming week long house sitting stay. We will rest easy knowing our pups and house are in good hands.”


“Jake did such a great job with our two labs. He was on time and took care of our dogs like they were his own. We loved that he sent updates and pictures of them while we were gone. I usually board our dogs and were very happy that they were lessed stressed with him at home. We would highly recommend him and will be booking him from now on.”
