About: Hi there, I'm Robin! I love animals, and recently lost my dog to old age. I'm not quite ready to find myself another furbaby, but I have so much love to give, that I thought I'd fill the void with pet sitting. I still have an older cat at home, which is why at this time, I'm not boarding in my home. I've owned several cats and dogs over the past 30 some odd years. During that time, I've dealt with their health issues like kidney disease and diabetes. Because of the care I've given my own pets, I am well versed in giving oral medications, eye drops, special diets, and injections (both subcutaneous and muscular). I'm lucky enough to have a pretty open schedule, only working one or two days a week, so I will be available most of the time to keep your pets company, take them for walks, and give them their meals on their schedule, not mine. I can also do drop ins pretty freely, if that's what you prefer. I am retired, although I took a job that gets me out of the house and talking to people one or two days a week, because I needed the interactions. I'll be able to spend most, if not all, days and nights caring for your pets. I know how important our fur babies are! I will care for and love on yours just as if they were mine. I'll follow your guidelines and schedules, so your pets will be as comfortable as they can be until your return.
“Nicole was absolutely outstanding. She checked on, fed, and loved on our two kitties while we were gone for 2 weeks. She took such good care of them! She went above and beyond - took in our packages, took up our trash, and even cleaned up kitty litter that the cats tracked through the house. Her communication was amazing and she sent regular updates and pictures. We felt so comfortable having Nicole at our home while we were gone. We will 1000% have Nicole take care of our animals again!”
“Marissa has become our “go to” pet sitter. You won’t find another pet sitter who is more conscientious and reliable. We have a cat who can be extremely temperamental, but Marissa has her eating out of her hands. We received the most adorable photos with each visit along with a short summary of our fur baby’s well being. Marissa truly understands how precious pets are.”
About: I've always had pets of all kinds and it is such a joy to care for them! I grew up with a dog, bird, lizards, rats, and hamsters, and now have a Pyrenees and two bunnies. I have also fostered puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience with all walks of life I work full time, but in a flexible job where it's easy for me to come visit your pets multiple times a day. I love to run and walk, so taking your pups for any type of exercise is the best part of my day! I always treat my pets like another member of the family and will treat your babies with the same love, care, and respect. It's hard to be away from them and you need to feel secure that they are well cared for.
“Nicole was fantastic! She went above and beyond with both myself and my cat. She scheduled a Meet & Greet before I left to get the lay of the land and meet my kitty. She truly has a heart for animals and so much knowledge. It takes a special person to “know cats” and Nicole gets it. She spent so much time during her visits to spend time with my cat, she didn’t just stop in and feed him and leave. Also, it’s worth noting that we had a major snowstorm here (more than we have had in YEARS) and she still found a way to get here twice a day in the weather to make sure my cat was cared for. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone and will tell all my friends to use her as well. She’s a gem!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. Families and friends have trusted me over and over to feed, walk, and care for their pets. Currently completing my undergraduate degree online at the U of L, which provides me with a very flexible schedule. Available for pet sitting services weekdays and weekends. I offer overnight pet sitting services in your home. While I'm unable to provide overnight boarding at my location, I'm happy to stay at your home to care for your pets in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have a huge love for them! Many friends and family have relied on me to care for their dogs ranging from any type and age! I also love to walk and am great taking dogs with me! I am currently working part time which makes me very flexible and easily available to get anywhere in a short time! I am able to let your dog out as many times as it needs and dedicate playtime! My yard is fully fenced and I have a very friendly golden retriever! I am able to take your dog anywhere, give it the medicine it needs, and take your dog on long or short walks!
About: I have had a dog and taken care of them since I was little. I have attended all training classes from puppy 1 to right below service animal and my corgi is officially a certified good citizen. I have lots of experience pet sitting different ages of dogs. I have a full-time job so I am mostly available early mornings, evenings and weekends. If your dog is staying at my place, please know I have a corgi but we can accommodate any crate/trained dog any days that can stay in for at least 6 hours. We live in an apartment with ample space for long walks and a dog park. I have a corgi to keep your fur baby company and can accommodate most needs.
“We reached out to Grace with a last-minute request to watch our pup for a few days and she happily accepted. She kept us informed and at ease while we were out of town. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Normally when we have to go away, we take our girl to a sitter's home (board her). Since she is now a senior and doesn't hear or see very well anymore, we thought it would be best for her if we had a sitter come to our house. We had Victoria visit our little girl several times a day and it went very well! We highly recommend Victoria if you are considering drop-in visits. She was always prompt and followed all our instructions perfectly. Our little girl seemed to be calm and stress free when we came home and we could tell she was definitely very well cared for by Victoria. We will surely call her again when we need drop in visits. Thank you so much Victoria.....you are the best!”

Robin A.
“My dog is my fur baby and I really hate having to leave her. My dog is also a one person dog so it's really hard to find someone that my dog likes. Robin is that person. Robin gave me updates multiple times throughout the day as well as pictures. She asked plenty of questions beforehand and by the second day my dog was completely happy and cuddling with Robin. I will definitely use Robin anytime I have to travel. She treated my dog like she was her own. Can't say enough good things about my experience.”

Sydney C.
“Sydney has been caring for our family pets for five years, starting when our golden doodle was just a puppy. She handles our diverse group beautifully - from our energetic golden doodle to our tiny chihuahua, plus our two cats. Sydney has provided overnight stays, daily walks, feeding, and even medication administration when needed. She's reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. Our pets are always happy and well-cared for when we return, and it's obvious they genuinely love her too. She sends updates and photos if requested while we're away, giving us complete peace of mind. After five years of consistent, excellent service, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sydney to other pet owners looking for someone who truly cares about their furry family members.”
Hayden N.
“Hayden was a blessing to find! She is such a caring, sweet girl and was absolutely wonderful with our Frenchie. My pup has anxiety when we’re gone so I was nervous to leave his care to someone else but he did great!! Hayden sent us multiple updates and photos and I could just tell he was calm and at peace. Can’t recommend Hayden enough!”
