“One of the best dog sitters we’ve had. Dogs were well taken care of. She took good care of our house and I am overall pleased with her services! She kept us well informed while we were gone. I would recommend Molly over and over again”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve cared for friends and families dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently have a female American bully but in the past I’ve had English mastiffs, pit bulls, and a border collie. I enjoy high energy dogs that love to run and play as well as older dogs that just want to play around and be loved on. I’m currently on summer break. I am an athlete at Eastern Kentucky University and have required practices every day but I’m gone no longer than 3 hours per day. I currently live in an apartment with a dog park on site I also have one friendly and very active pup to keep yours company. I will always be outside with the pups they are never out there alone.

“Minnie took to Tiffany immediately, which is rare for Minnie. Tiffany provided the cuddling Minnie needs, and saw to her other needs as well. Overall, great job.”

About: One of the hardest things to do is trust someone to care for your pet, to make them feel safe, and treat them as family members while you’re away. That is the care I strive for with every visit! Because being away from your hoomans can feel uncertain, I provide extra play time and extra love. I also clean up their messes—if there are any, and I’m happy to help with the occasional chore when you have to be away for more than a couple of days! I am also committed to working closely with you to provide tailored care and companionship. I provide clear communication, pictures of your babies with each visit. I bring experience caring for pets of all ages—from playful youngsters to wise seniors—along with expertise in administering medications and supporting animals with special needs. Note: I’m no longer able to offer boarding services. One of my own sweet boys is getting up in years—he’s a little more fragile, and a little less patient than he once was, and I worry that boarding a stranger would cause him a lot of unnecessary stress. I work from home — this allows me some flexibility and the ability to customize my breaks and lunch based on the needs of my clients. When caring for pets in the home of my clients, it’s important to remember that the little one that I’m caring for is likely stressed because their mom and/or dad are gone, and there is a stranger (me) in their home. With that in mind, I typically spend more time with them than what is required by Rover because they need the extra time to feel comfortable with me. I take time to try to get to know them and help them feel more at ease. I treat them with the same amount of compassion I want for my own!

“Excellent! Terry was very considerate of our home and extremely accommodating with the small details and requests. Communicated regularly with text and photos. Most importantly our kids loved him. If you're looking for a house sitter you need look no further.”

“Grayson was very kind and kept me up to date on my boys while. I was gone. Highly recommend.”

“Reagan took great care of all FOUR of our dogs over the weekend and treated them they were her own. She communicated often so we knew they were having a great time. We can’t wait to have her come back!”

About: We work from home full-time, which means your pup will get lots of supervision, attention, companionship, and cuddles throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Dogs staying with us typically get up to two walks a day, usually 1–2.5 mile walks at nearby trails. If your pup enjoys walks and adventures, they’re welcome to join! We also make sure dogs have plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention depending on their personality and energy level. We genuinely love pets and try to make them feel like part of the family while they’re here. Whether your dog is playful, cuddly, shy, energetic, or prefers a calmer environment, we do our best to adapt to their needs and routine. We're also happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and we aim to create a safe, loving environment where both you and your pup feel comfortable. I have a flexible schedule to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I take my dog on walks twice a day for 1-2.5 miles in the park and typically spend the rest of the day at home, treating your babies like my own. I have a fenced yard and live walking distance from a park with wooded trails. I have a friendly pup in my home who loves having friends to play with. I will care for your pets like my own!

About: I've been working with dogs since I was 9 years old. It started at a summer camp located at my local shelter and at home with our own dogs. At 18 I helped foster 2-week-old kittens that were born in our front yard and abandoned by their mom. I have worked with many different dogs and have been house sitting since I was 16 years old with different types of dogs and different care levels, from needing to give elderly dogs medication to hyper puppies who need lots of play time. I fit in Pet care into my daily routine by waking up at a specific time every morning to take care my own dog out for a morning potty break, then it is breakfast time, then an hour after is a morning walk, after I have lunch is a shorter afternoon walk and before dinner is an evening walk, with several potty breaks scattered reasonably every 3 hours to make sure. Sometimes I take my own dog on small hikes or to the dog park to get some more socialization in. Outside of my hobbies and schooling pet care is my life. This does depend on what I am hired for, if I am hired for potty breaks and play time then I do just that, I arrive at the home, let the dog out to go potty, take a walk play with some toys. If I am housesitting, then I follow the schedule the owners have their dogs on as to not disrupt the dog's stability.

“Elena was wonderful to work with! My dog tends to be nervous around new people but Coraline warmed up to Elena immediately”

About: I have been pet sitting for two years now with the help of my mother's pet grooming/sitting business, and now I wish to start my own and provide quality pet care to dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages. Since I have graduated from highschool, and will be taking a gap year before going to college, I will have plenty of time to care for your doggos and cats, being available anytime you need me and on any day of the week! I am a very adaptive individual, and will follow any instructions you leave for me concerning your fur babies, and I will ensure your pets receive the utmost care and attention that my pets at home receive daily!

About: I have had extensive experience with dogs, cats and exotic pets! Everything from personally caring for my own dog with allergies and anxiety to caring for medical fosters. I am experienced with high need pets and able to adapt my behavior to thier needs. I have a flexible schedule this summer and would love to help you out! Right now I am taking the summer to get ready for graduate school. This means I have a super open and flexible schedule. My day typically starts with exercise and ends with reading a book. This leaves plenty of time for me to meet and accommodate your needs. Care for pets is often determined but the pet themselves. Do you have a high energy working breed or an anxious low energy chihuahua? I am fully prepared to meet you and your pet where you are at!

“Amy is amazing!!!! My pups were so happy when I got home and she cleaned my home!”

Laura A.

“The best babysitter for my pups! They absolutely loved her. This was my first time ever leaving them or using this app and she made it so easy and gave me peace of mind. She made sure to be extra cautious with my beagles outside so they didn’t escape. You'll get constant updates and cute pics of your pups. You won’t find a better baby sitter!”

Jasmine C.

“Kate is fantastic and we will use her again. She was on time, highly communicative, took great care of our three large dogs, and was responsible with the house.”

Scott P.

“I cannot say enough positive things about Mary Grace! She house sat/pet sat our cat Luna and was fantastic. She provided great updates and photos and was attentive to all details house/pet related. She left our place cleaner than when she came and was very flexible when we had a slight schedule change. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

Lisa K.

About: With your pets permission, they will be loved on. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life and have pet sat for over 5 years! The only days of the week where I’m out for more than 3 hours is Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am at home otherwise, the more time I have with your pet, the better! I do have two cats, so they will likely be separated from your pets in a boarding situation, but I live next to a dog park so it is easily accessible for pups. I have many cat toys and treat varieties as well.
