“Joanna did a great job!! She was very communicative. She sent pictures of the pets regularly, followed all directions left, reached out with any questions, and left the house tidy upon the end of the service. She even came over a week before to meet the pets and familiarize herself with the location of foods and treats! Very thankful for her work!”


“We had a last minute trip scheduled and was in need of assistance with our dog. Robin was very helpful, caring and delight to have helping with our dog. She kept us informed of how he was doing, eating, bathroom and behavior. Helped him out with some tummy troubles. We would definitely use Robin again. This was our first time using Rover. From this experience it won’t be our last. Thanks Robin for taking such good care of our dog”


“Jordan took fantastic care of our 2 pups! She sent a ton of pictures and updates and our dogs were very happy with her. She took great care of our house too! Will of course use her again in the future.”


“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!”


“Avery did such a wonderful job with my girl Zenna. Zenna likes at least one activity event per day and Avery kept her incredibly entertained. I now think my dog has experienced more of Louisville than I have! I will certainly use Avery again😊”


“Miranda was great. She was very timely and responsive. This was our first experience with Rover and Miranda and we could tell that our pup felt loved and comforted despite us being gone.”


“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!!”


About: I’m reliable, I only schedule what I’m available to do. I take care of all their needs. I communicate with the clients about their day. I’m currently available early mornings from 6am to 8am, afternoons from noon-2pm, and evenings 7pm to 8:30pm. I can also dog sit occasionally or cat sit. I don't have a fence, I live in a safe neighborhood with two dog parks near by. I would take them on walks, let them run around in a safe area only.


“Tabitha was wonderful with our pup, Mysa! The communication was great and we loved getting updates and photos throughout the sitting. Will definitely reach out for more sittings when we need!”


“It was a pleasure to have Mitzi pet sit at our house. It is obvious that she loves animals and they were very comfortable around her. Mitzi kept us updated with text and pictures all weekend. We would definitely ask her again in the future and trust her with our furry family!”


“Melinda was a life saver and was able to last minute accept taking care of our two dogs and cat when our other sitter had a family emergency to attend to. She asked all the right questions and kept me updated. I highly recommend Melinda as our babies were happy and well taken care of.”


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.

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: 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: 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.

About: I have had pets my entire life and absolutely love animals, worked at Feeders Supply for about a year. Looking for some extra work before I leave for college! I currently do not any other responsibilities to tend to. Open to almost any time, any day until I move to school in August. Thanks! Although I cannot keep your dog in my home, I can take great care of them in their home! I am comfortable crating if you need and anything else!
