“Got to meet Tabitha beforehand. She was awesome. Sent me a text when she arrived and a picture after. She even found some money that dropped out of my car in the garage. Definitely want to have her again.”

About: I've cared for animals my entire life. Animals in my home are well loved; including baths if requested, exercise, and lots of play! I'm very accommodating. I work full-time from home, mostly on virtual meetings spread throughout the day. I'm up early each day and always ready for a nice walk! My yard is mostly fenced, but dogs would be kept on a leash for safety. Pets are welcome to sleep on any furniture. Food and water is available at all times in the kitchen.

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family since I was a preteen! I am compassionate, reliable, and fun loving. As many of my closest pals have pups of their own, I would consider myself a professional pet-auntie! I look forward to becoming a trusted caretaker and friend of your beloved furry baby too! I am an English teacher, so I have a very flexible schedule during the day during the summer! I like to spend time outside, running, reading, watching movies, or getting coffee with friends. If your pet is down for an adventure, I will take them anywhere they want to go with me. I am available for whatever in home services you need- from dropping in for walks or visits, to staying to keep your fur baby company all night. For those looking for overnight services, I work as a waitress in the evenings (4 nights a week), so your pet(s) must be okay being alone 6-8 hours. However, nights that I do work, I prefer to chill at home during the morning/afternoon. So your baby won’t be missing any TLC<3 I have experience caring for dogs with special needs and anxiety. You can count on me that your pup will get the specialized care (and lots of love) they need while you’re away!

About: I’ve got experience with pups of all personalities! From chihuahuas to pitties, I love them all. I have seen every episode of de Dog Whisperer, however I’m aware it doesn’t necessarily make me an expert in animal psychology. I’m physically fit and would love to walk and run around with your doggy companions! I have degrees in music (cello) and would be delighted to entertain your pets while you’re away. I also do weddings and parties, if you have one of those coming up. I have loads of experience with cats, as well. I’ve cared for diabetic cats and am very comfortable with injections. My only pet right now is my cat, Bert, who has special needs. All of his needs are met happily by me! If any of this sounds good to you, please give me a ring. I’m completely open for scheduling, so message me and we can set up a meeting! A history of the Swanson Family pets: Dagney (Husky mix), Brit (Britney spaniel), Gus (Boston Terrier), Joey & Franklin (cavalier King Charles spaniel), Moeby (Yorkie/Maltese), Henry (chihuahua/jack Russell), Gracie (catahoula leopard hound/pitbull), and Norman (Irish setter/retriever/chow). I also had a bird, Harpo, a hamster, Paul Daniel, and a cat, Lucy. I'm a musician and private teacher by trade. Right now I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to take on more pet care. My main priority is to maintain the safety of your pet. I'm happy to follow any routines of your household to maintain the comfortability of your pet.

About: I have always loved dogs ever since I was a little girl. I dog sit for a family friend anytime they need me. They continue to ask me to dog sit, so I would say that is a success. I will love your dog like they are one of my own. We will enjoy walks, play time and lots of cuddles. Our best friend is a vet so if any emergency situation should happen, we have an immediate resource. I am currently a stay at home mom so your pet would have lots of attention of activity throughout their stay with us. We have plenty of time and energy for walks and playing outside. Pets that come to our home will be treated like our own. They will get daily activity, walks and outside play. They can easily be crated if that's what they are used to.

“We went to Florida for a 10-day vacation and had to leave our Golden Retriever at the house in Jeffersonville. Mackenzie would come every day for walks and eventual water/food replenish. And she was just awesome! She took really good care of our dog and of the house as an extension. Our dog is very shy and not used to be being around strangers. But she was very understanding when he didnt want to walk much, gave him cookies and all the care he needed. We were relieved to know our dog was in such good hands while we were hundreds of miles away. We will certainly be a repeat customer. Thank you so much!”

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!

“Jerome was so awesome! We had to reschedule a few times and he was very understanding and flexible. He kept us up to date with photos and texts during walks. I'd highly recommend him as a walker!!”

About: My name is Olivia and I am a registered nurse who loves hanging out with dogs on my days off! I currently work 3 shifts a week at the hospital so I have plenty of free time to devote to new fur friends! I have 2 Welsh Corgis named Lola and Walter who are my pride and joy and my best friends! I have been taking care of pets my whole life and I am very passionate about my love for fluffy friends! My friends would say I am very compassionate, responsible, and I have a great sense of humor. I am an excellent dog photographer and videographer so I am happy to send you pictures of your fur babies while you are away! I am also a big fan of fetch, long walks, and snuggles. It would be an honor and a privilege to give your dogs the love and attention that they deserve! I only work 3 days per week, so I am available for walks and check ins during the week and I can house sit on the weekends. I always work with the family to set up a schedule before each visit. I can adapt to any feeding, bathroom, and walk times that work best with the pet. I will always do whatever I can to make the pet and family feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

About: I treat pets as family, ever since I was a little kid I didn’t care of my pets myself, and I’m the first one my family and friends called to watch their pets when they’re out of town. I believe that pets deserve our love and attention because the happiness that they give us is immeasurable. Our best friends. What would we do without them?? I work Monday through Thursday and get off at 4:30 Mom- Thursday will be challenging for anything but playtime and potty breaks. But Friday Saturday Sunday I’m open to everything at any time to make sure your pets are attended to. I have two large dogs on my own with my wife. So I would be more than happy to come to your residence to care for your dogs as they need.

About: We love our fur baby and understand how important it is to make sure he’s cared for when we can’t take him with us on a trip or aren’t able to work from home and spend the day with him. My wife and I have been married for four years and we were thrilled when our living situation finally allowed us to welcome our pupper, Oliver into our home. He’s a sweet three year old hound mix that loves the companionship of other dogs. Our pet experience goes far beyond the past couple years because both of us grew up with family dogs. My family had several larger breeds while my wife’s family had smaller breeds. Since adopting Oliver we’ve realized how difficult it can be to find the kind of care we are comfortable with. Kennels can be pricey and the scheduled outdoor time and seemingly impersonal care made it hard to leave him. We love that Rover helps us find a good fit for our fluffy love. We want to be able to provide that for you and your doggo. I work from home and my wife is a stay at home mom, making it easy for us to provide your pup with the time and attention they need. We’d be happy to provide photo updates on how he or she is doing to help set your mind at ease during your dogs time with us.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for small dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know their unique personalities and quirks. Each dog is a little bundle of joy, whether they’re a spirited Chihuahua, a playful Pomeranian, or a heart-melting Maltese. Working with small dogs of all temperaments has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and adaptability in providing the best care possible. For small dog owners, I take pride in not just being a caregiver, but a partner in promoting a healthy, happy life for their furry family members. Every wag of the tail or playful bark serves as a reminder of the bond we cultivate together. Whether it’s through fostering their individual needs or simply providing comforting companionship, I find joy in every moment spent with these delicate little souls. In the world of small dogs, every paw print speaks love, and I’m honored to be a part of their journey. I work part-time with animals, and they are my passion so I make all the time I can for them! I can provide quick bathroom breaks, or long enriching walks. Small dogs often benefit from personalized care. I take pride in being a dedicated walker or sitter that can cater to their specific needs and preferences during each visit. I have experience with senior dogs, feeding schedules, and basic enrichment needs as well.

“Grace did an amazing job with my pup! She was patient to deal with his quirks and made sure he had a smile on his face the whole time! We will definitely use her again!”

About: I have owned/helped taken care of many different types of dogs ranging from toy poodles to huskies, and even saint Bernards. I understand that each dog varies from need to need and am more than willing to help meet the needs of each individual need of the dogs I am caring for. I am a recent college graduate and am currently looking for a full time job. Because of this, my hours are very open and flexible and can allow for client to have better access to me in case of emergency sittings. Some things that set me apart from some others are that if your dog needs more exercise than just a walk, I am more than willing to go on long or short runs with depending on the type of exercise that is needed.

About: I’ve had at least one dog all my life. I’ve helped to train 3 puppies in the last year. I will love your dog like they’re part of my pack! I currently have a full-time job with flex scheduling. I work from home most days Monday through Friday 8-5pm. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I currently have one very friendly small dog that I can bring along to keep us company. We can play in your yard/home, walk around the neighborhood, or whatever else you would like.

About: Neighbors and family have trusted me to care for their animals while they are away on vacation/work trips. I pride myself on loving all animals as if they are my own. If someone trusts me to care for their pets, I will make sure they feel 100% comfortable with my care! I am currently working part time, and I am at home every night. I am readily available for walks and visits at almost all times throughout the day. I am very respectful of others’ homes.
