“Emily did an amazing job with Otis. He’s pretty particular about getting his harness on, even with me and dad, but Emily was patient and helped him with his confidence to get it on. She did great with his high energy and we definitely be scheduling with her again!”

“Tara is wonderful! She has been weekly walking our giant goof of a dog, Jolene, for almost an entire year. Tara provides great updates, photos and always gives Jolene extra belly rubs.”

About: I’ve been a pet sitter since high school and love every minute of it! I have a cat named Stitch who’s my best friend, and I enjoy spending time outdoors—so walking your pet is the perfect way for us to both get some fresh air and fun. I treat every pet like my own, giving them love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, usually only two classes a day, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I always double check that every gate is closed and that your friend is in no danger. I am very vigilant and always make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave
“Olivia is excellent! She had very thorough updates and communication each day with our pet. She took her time to care for him as if he were her own dog. She sent lots of pictures which we loved. Highly recommend!”

“Ciara is great with our 8 month old goldendoodle! She is always on time for his walks while we're at work and always gives us great feedback with the Rover cards. I would highly recommend her!”
“Chakra’s first week with Amber has been awesome. It’s been really great for him to have a midday pickup and walk. I can truly see a difference in his temperament.”

“We were so happy with Maggie‘s dog walk. She left a lot of great information regarding the walk and was very professional. Overall would definitely recommend”

“Eleanor continues to provide meaningful care on my Zeke dog’s weekly walks and seamless communication surrounding all walks. We are grateful and happy to have her in our lives - as will you!”
About: I've, truly, never met a dog that didn't love me, and vice versa. My first dog, Patty, was a stray my big brother brought home, and he, my sister, and I, hid her upstairs, afraid our parents wouldn't let us keep her. She was quickly discovered as she escaped and ran wildly through the house with the three of us chasing her. She was our puppy, and that was the beginning of my love affair with animals. A known pet whisperer and rescuer, strangers would knock on our door when I was growing up, ask if I was home, then hand me a kitty or puppy in need, saying that they had heard I would take care of it. And I always did. I was blessed with compassionate, pet loving parents who knew the value that animals can add to a family, in helping children learn responsibility, patience and empathy, and to know what it feels like to have unconditional love. I carried that tradition on when rearing my own children on five, wooded acres in Oldham County. At one glorious point in time, we had rescued 5 dogs, 5 cats and added 2 baby pygmy goats to our menagerie. We even added a 6th dog, when actress Jennifer Lawrence's mom, Karen, needed to rehome her son's large Dalmation Boxer mix, when he moved to Chicago. Karen said she had pondered over the best home for the pooch, and thought, "If I was a dog, who would I want to live with? Greylyn! She's the best pet mama in the world!" It won me over immediately. All of our extended fur family were always happy, healthy and loved completely. The vet would come to our home, lining up 10 or more sets of shots on the kitchen table when it was vaccination time. We, also, initiated a rotating reward system that we refered to as"Dog of the Day", so that each pup could get extra special treatment on at least one day of the week. Although they all may have some similar characteristics, every dog has its own unique personality. I've dealt with every imaginable idiosyncrasie, and I celebrate the differences. I'm firm enough to help train them, fun enough to play and romp, and free enough to cuddle with them on furniture. HOME ALL DAY! I create from home, so I'm available to accommodate any special needs your pup may have. 'Going to Greylyn's', will be like going to visit 'Nana: the Dog', from 'Peter Pan'--a lot of fun and love and magic and attention. Except, I'm not a dog. And I promise not to let them fly off to Neverland... at least not on the first visit. SCENE: YOU and YOUR DOG at home. YOU: (on your device, searching,discovering, and, reading aloud: YOU: "COZY APARTMENT INSIDE A SERENE, ENCLOSED, COURTYARD/BEAUTIFUL PARK OUT THE FRONT DOOR/OTHER FUZZY FRIENDS TO PLAY WITH/BE SURE TO LET US KNOW IF YOUR DOG HAS A BIRTHDAY! YOUR DOG: (panting, lots of tail wagging in excitement) "Ruff Woof! Ruff Woof!!! WOW!! Take me THERE, (YOUR name)!!!! Pa-leeeese!! Please please pleasepkeeezzzeee! Take me there, (YOUR name)!!! THAT'S where I want to go!!! I want to go to Auntie Greylyn's!!" (more panting & drooling. more excitement) (DISCLAIMER: No Dog Actors were used in this dialogue. Real Dogs were compensated with milk bones in exchange for their testimony)Your dog can feel free to make themselves at home inside, and, safely go through the private court yard for active walks in the park, when needed. If your pet is crate trained, and, prefers that, please bring one along. We will always be on leash outside for our walks. Your furry friend can look forward to being "Dog of the Day" every time they come to play or have a sleep over.
“Reanna has been walking my dog twice a week for several months now and she is absolutely fantastic! She is extremely responsive to booking requests and very communicative when I need to move things around or she needs to adjust the schedule. Louie loves her and it's clear she loves him, too. It's great to have someone I can trust help my dog get some energy out while I'm at work. I highly recommend Reanna for dog walking and any other pet care needs!”

“Athena was absolutely wonderful with Juno! She is so friendly and professional, and goes above and beyond. I forgot to leave my key for her and she came by my work to pick it up! Juno looked so happy when I got home, I could tell she had had a good day thanks to her walk.”

“Liz was excellent with Sophie. She took multiple pictures, was flexible, and gave relevant information in her notes. She was by far my favorite Rover person and I would strongly recommend her. My Sophie really like her a lot!”

About: Whether it's going on a hike or to the dog park, or rather cuddling on the couch, I'm here for anything your pup might need. No request is too much, and I'm well experienced with dogs who have unique needs. From mobility issues to dietary restrictions, I'm happy to keep your baby safe while you are away. I work a low-stakes job from 9a-4:30pm close to home so I can make visits on break and if anything comes up I am able to check on the animals. Every day the dogs will get at least 4 walks and time to play in our fully fenced yard. 3+ times each week we also take them to the dog park or on a hike, with lots of space in the house to run and play as well. I have a fully fenced yard and 1 very friendly beagle who has been socialized all his life with other dogs and animals. The house is puppy-proofed to prevent chewers from getting into things they shouldn't be. I have reliable transportation and live in a central location so that I can get anywhere in the city quickly and frequently when needed.
