About: Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. Have owned as many as 5 at one time, as well as fostering dogs, cats and kittens, including a special needs beagle with degenerative myelopathy (he had a cool wheelchair :) . I love them all and will care for them like they are my own. I will scratch and play and provide belly rubs on command. If I sit for your dog in my home, my cat, Frankie, will just roll her eyes and move on :) I am happy to work with the schedule you prefer for your furry kids, even if it's not the same as mine. Please contact me with questions, I am happy to chat first so we are both comfortable. While I no longer work from home, I still have plenty of time to care for dogs in my home, as I have done for my own dogs 😊 I have a fenced yard and a special “dog room” with toys a few different sized crates for when they need some space from my cat 😊.
“Taylor did amazing with our pets. Our pup is very dog reactive and Taylor used her extensive experience while navigating walks with her. She has quite a charm with animals. She even coaxed out our hermit cat. Taylor did a fabulous job communicating with us and keeping us updated. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced Rover.”
“Annie is the best! She jumped in last minute to give our pup a much needed walk and potty break while we were out of town and updated us on all the things. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a while from family pets to neighbors, and friends. I think something that sets me apart from other sitters is that I treat each dog or cat like my own. I will send updates and pictures to the owner so they know there pet is in good hands. I handle daily feeding, walks, bathing, and of course playtime. I have experience with kittens and bottle feeding them. I also pet-sit for neighbors when they travel, and I make sure every pet gets lots of love and attention. I am overall a responsible and reliable pet sitter! I am currently studying to take my MCAT and that is my full time job so pet sitting fits in perfectly any day thats needed! In my clients home I will follow all instructions given, give the pet attention and care and love, and send updates to client like pictures!
About: I have a genuine love for animals and I have been pet/house sitting for about 10 years. I have always had pets and been around all different kinds of animals. I just graduated from law school, I started my new job post law school. I do work in an office, but I am able to stop in and make sure your animal is taken care of. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of a pet at your home. I am happy to walk a dog on a leash, let them out to play, play with them, take them to a dog park.
About: Hi! I’m Terri, and I’ve spent most of my life working with people, animals, and creating environments where others feel safe and cared for. I was a teacher for 20 years, so I’m extremely patient, responsible, and attentive to details—qualities that translate perfectly to caring for pets. I also have a strong background in customer service from my time at the Four Seasons, where I learned how important trust, communication, and reliability are. My schedule is very flexible right now, and I’m currently available most days from late morning through the evening. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to routines, surroundings, and each pet’s comfort level. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always follow any instructions you provide to keep your pet safe and happy.
About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. I'm a dog trainer, I fit in Rover appointments among by client work when it's possible to do so. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been caring for the animals of friends and family for many years. I have experience caring for puppies and older dogs. I understand how hard it is to leave the furry member of the family to someone else’s care so I am dedicated to treating them as my own. I am currently a PhD student so I have many flexible hours throughout the day. With access to a car, I can reliably drop in and walk animals several times a day if needed. I can come to the home to care for and walk pets as needed. I know how to walk dogs of many sizes safely and have even leash trained my cat. Pets have different care needs and I am well equipped to adapt to each pet.
About: I am a veterinary nurse, I am able to administer medications as prescribed. I am able to spot early issues during dog walking or pet sitting. I work strictly weekends, but I am here for you if you need to go out of town during the week or need someone to walk your pet during your work hours I feel like pets do better in their own home, I will lfollow feeding instructions, make sure they are played with and taken care of.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs with very different breeds, personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. I’ve grown up around pit bulls and retrievers and am currently a proud Chiweenie owner. One thing I’ve learned from caring for dogs is that understanding their behavior is just as important as feeding them and taking them for walks. I’ve had experience recognizing when a dog is frightened or overstimulated and giving them the space and reassurance they need. For example, when my childhood dog became overwhelmed after a stressful interaction, I took him somewhere quiet so he could calm down. During thunderstorms and fireworks, when he would tremble with fear, I would bring him somewhere comfortable and stay with him until he settled. I’m also the person at family gatherings who naturally ends up keeping an eye on the dogs—making sure they’re getting enough exercise and attention while also making sure younger kids give them appropriate space and treat them respectfully. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, bathing, and overnight care. I enjoy both tiring out an energetic dog and providing a calm presence for a nervous one. I’ve also cared for cats and generally find that they warm up to me pretty quickly. Most importantly, I will enjoy taking the time to learn your pet’s individual personality, routines, and boundaries. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I am available throughout the day. I wake up early and care for my own dog before 8 AM every day. I can come by whenever is needed or stick around if that is preferred! I start by taking any instruction from you to heart regarding your pet's personality and habits. Outside of that, I generally would like to start by having a joint meeting between me, your furry friend, and their best friend: you! That way, they can establish a level of trust for when I come by on my own. I follow the routine that you would like me to follow while remaining alert to your pet in the present, just like with my own pup.
About: Grew up with 2 dogs when I was kid. I can’t wait to take care of your dogs like they are my own family pet I’m currently active duty army. I am available all weekends. During weekday I can check on your fur baby after work around 5 o’clock. ❤️ I live in an apartment. I love going on walks and watching over pets. My home had nothing hazardous for them to get in to
“We consider her family now. You can tell how much she adores the dogs she takes care of, she's taking care of two of mine. Current dog that she takes care of when I have to go out of town adores her. She house sits for me while I'm gone, and is very respectful of my home.”
