“Neige did a wonderful job checking in on my two cats while I was out of the country for a week. I appreciate her sending me pictures and making sure they were fed with their favorite food/treats which gave me peace of mind while being away. If I ever need a cat sitter again, I will definitely be using her services.”


“This is our second time using him and he is just as great! He gave detailed updates, provided pictures and was very quick to respond. He has become our regular and we plan to use him again! Thanks Luke!”


“We were very pleased with Kassidy and will certainly book with her again. We booked somewhat last minute and were very anxious as we had trip planned, etc. She accommodated and took very good care of our kitties. She even checked on and fed our birds, which we didn't count on her doing, as some people are not comfortable with large parrots. She did wonderful and we are very thankful for her.”


“Did a great job watching my two cats while I was away. I can leave town in peace knowing my pets are in good hands.”


About: Hi, I’m Anna, 19 years of age. I’m looking to fulfill my free time with dogs. I have previous dog sitting experience and if relevant I’ve been babysitting for the past four years and withhold caretaking traits, and understand the responsibilities that come with caring for another. I have a deep passion for all animals. I’m adaptive to knowing body language and catch signs of any disproportional behavior. Thank you! I’m currently available 24/7, which means I can easily accommodate same-day requests. I’m also more than happy to stop by as many times as needed throughout the day to make sure your pets are well taken care of. As previously mentioned I have an understanding of canine behavior and body language so I’m aware of their boundaries and trusts. I also have experience of dog sitting; the pup is still thriving today so that’s a good point :).

About: I have had pets for as long as I can remember. We had pets of all kinds growing up. I have a dog (border collie + blue heeler mix) and a cat (Maine coon). I have been pet sitting for four years and have experience with complex diets, nervous and excited animals, and administering medications orally and through injections. I pet sit in my free time. I usually have to ask off work to take care of animals, so two weeks notice is best. My schedule will be more open in August. I always double check locks on all doors to ensure safety for the animals and belongings in the house. I always clean messes made by animals while I am there.

About: From the time I was a baby, there has never been a moment where my family did not have any animals in the home, and my love for animals I inherited from my grandpa. I knew when I had my own home, I would also have pets. After adopting my sweet fur babies, finding a reliable and trusting pet sitter was the most important thing, and having the assurance that they were being loved on and taking care of the same way that I do was the utmost importance. After some time and consideration, I thought I could offer my services as a pet sitter and the same love and caring for other animals that I have for mine, as well as offering the peace of mind pet parents need when trusting another to watch their beloved pets. I have personal experience with different breeds of dogs from big to small as well as cats, and have had animals from puppy/kitten stage to old age. My Fila girl completed 4 levels of training at Tri-State K9 University as her background was unknown when I fostered (and later adopted her), but though her behavior it was clear she had been through a rough time and suffered from fear and anxiety. With patience, love, and training she blossomed out of her shell and out came the sweet, playful girl I knew she truly was. I know some animals need extra care and handling in order to trust someone, which is why I know having the best pet sitter is so important and want to bring my love, experience, and patience to you and your beloved pets. I am mostly available early mornings and evening, but I am willing to work with you to find the best schedule to care for your animal(s). My sweet Fila can be picky with her canine friends, so I will not be able to provide services in my home but I am happy to take your dog on walks around your neighborhood, a nearby park, and play a game of fetch (or whatever your animal prefers) in your yard. I also have a wonderful fiance and stepchildren who would also love to help provide extra love and hugs to your animal(s) if allowed.

“Amanda was great checking in on my cat! She sent pictures daily and communicated very effectively. I always felt like my and my cat's preferences were respected. She's great and I love the peace of mind of knowing someone knowledgeable about animals is checking up on him. I'll definitely use Amanda whenever I need a pet sitter.”


About: I've had pets of all kinds, the basic, cat or dog, and even fish. Also have had more exotic pets; rabbits, ducks, birds, ferret, etc! I've done years of research on pets and I'm very reliable when it comes to caring for pets, caring for your pet, I will consider and treat it as if it was my own! I adore animals with all my heart! I'm currently completely available until I get a second job, probably part time so I can help & keep your pets needs met & provide the care for your furry family member whenever it's needed! I do not live on my own currently so that’s something I can possibly offer in the future! However, I have 4 cats & a sweet little mutt dog aswell :) any pet will be cared & treated as my own!

“Nathalie was great. She took great care of our baby and we loved the updates and photos.”


“Maddix did a great job with my dogs. Very reliable and dogs loved him. I was concerned because I have 3 lg dogs full of energy but he is a young man that has lg dogs himself so he is experienced and was very comfortable with mine. Just what I was looking for.”


About: I’ve grown up around pets and animals since I could first remember. My family mainly owned dogs, but I’ve been around animals of all kinds including cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, goats, cows, etc. I have been the one that family relies on when they need a pet sitter, and never say no to an opportunity to love on fur babies of any size and age. I also have experience working at an animal shelter with dog’s of many different backgrounds and needs. i am currently available full time for the summer. i can do drop ins, house sit, or even walk your pet for you. my availability might be limited after i figure out my work schedule. i live on campus where this is plenty of space for the dog to go out on walks or even run in the quad if properly trained. it is a very dog friendly environment.

About: I've always loved dogs and cats—they’ve been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around them, so being with animals just feels natural to me. Whether it’s a playful pup or a laid-back cat, I really enjoy their company and would love the chance to watch or walk them while I'm in nursing school. It’d be a great way to relax and spend time doing something I love Since I am in nursing school I mainly have time for little side jobs like animal walking and I love being outside and especially walking. I personally have a sweet cat named Oreo who I have had for 2 years & I love playing with her and keeping her feeling very loved in my house!

About: I’m a middle school teacher first, but I’ve had dogs all my life and have been dogsitting for the past five years through word of mouth and friend recommendations. I started then and loved it, so thought I would expand by joining Rover! We are a pet-loving family who loves having animals as “extra family” in our homes to give their own family peace of mind while they are at work or traveling. During the summer break, I’m available during the day, nights, and weekends. During the school year I am only available for overnight and weekend sitting. We have a large fenced in yard and a friend-loving golden retriever and a really big 2 year old helper. Pets kept in our home are treated just like our pets. Some of our clients even pile up in our bed! We want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible with us as it can already be stressful being separated from family.

“Mary Kate was awesome! She was there on time everyday, and if not she would text me to make sure a different time was okay. She sent pictures everyday of my kitties and made sure to let me know what went on! I will definitely be using her again!”


About: Grew up in a home of 6 dogs. Love caring and being around dogs. I enjoy going on long walks, and I’m sure your dog does too! I have a lot of patience, and love. Just can’t have my own dog. I don’t have a life after work so thought it would be a great idea to spend time with my neighbor dogs. A lot of my best traits are similar to a dogs: loyal, energetic, hungry, protector. During boarding your dog is welcome to sit on any of my furniture. During walks your dog is welcome to run as fast and far as they want. During potty breaks your dog is welcome to poop/pee anywhere in my yard. I’m free pretty much every night!

About: I’ve taken a year long course at Liberty K-9 in Hawsville, KY, learning how to teach and instruct dogs. I love them. Dogs are interesting and intelligent creatures. And each has their own personality. Let me care for your dog the way I would care for my own. I am currently a stay at home mother of two school aged children. And I have copious amounts of availability. And I am very flexible and willing to work around schedules. We have a two story home with a fenced in back yard. Lots of room to run around and play. I also have big couches for lazy dogs and warm beds with kiddos who love dogs. We also have a guest room for dogs that prefer not sharing a bed with a kiddo. We have a dachshund for a playmate. We have kennels for average and large size dogs. And I have a pass for the bathing station at pet supplies plus for all the bathing needs.

Katherine Z.
“Katherine has been passionate about animals ever since I have known her. She has dog sat for people when she was in college and had a proper business, and made enough to support her extracurriculars like painting and photography. I personally know that she has cared for horses, chickens, rabbits, dogs, cows, goats, and cats. She is a volunteer at the animal shelter and has managed the care of over 100 animals a day. She is a hard worker and enjoys training dogs and caring for them. A fun fact about her, she has trained a poodle to respond to hand commands and jump through a hula hoop. She is light hearted, responsible, respectful, dependable, creative, almost too honest, and funny. I will recommend her 100% to anyone with animals, especially dogs. And I’m not just saying because she’s my wife, she is honestly passionate, caring, and aware of animal needs and intuitively picks up on their behaviors and works with them to under them.”
