13. Betty J.
About: Hi there! My name is Betty and I just moved to Louisville. I work in the film/entertainment industry as an actor, comedian, and crew worker. I work a lot from home. I have owned dogs for over 15 years. I have experience in owning dogs of many sizes from Pomeranians to pit bulls. I have always loved dogs and understand the importance of providing care for them while you work or are out of town. I currently have a 7.5 yr old neutered French Bulldog named Earl. He's a little goofy and loves other dogs. If your dog can handle my terrible jokes, we might just be a great fit. Care for the dogs will happen in my two bedroom town house. It faces a private grassy area but does not have a fence around it. The patio is gated, however. For this reason, large over active dogs may not be the best fit for drop offs, I'd hate for them to feel confined. I do plan to take the furry buddies on walks and have playtime.
14. Valorie R.
“Valorie is very good with all pets and very hands on when it comes to the safety and care of your fur babies! I have known Valorie for over 4 years now and seen how loving she is towards not only her pets, but everyone else that has pets around her or that she knows! Valorie is trustworthy and i highly recommend her!”
15. Kaitlyn C.
“Super sweet and happy she’s looking after my pup!”
16. Nathan F.
“Nate is a wonderful pet parent and caretaker! He grew up with dogs, currently has two cats, and is looking to add some puppy playtime back into his life. Nate is a dedicated medical school student, a rock climber, and an attentive caretaker. He is good at following specific instructions and always puts other's needs before his own. I am confident he would offer the best care for your pet. :)”
17. Anna G.
“Anna is a very kind, caring individual who grew up with dogs and treats them as part of the family. She goes out of her way to ensure the pups she cares for receive the proper exercise, love and attention they need to thrive.”
18. Greylyn G.
“Incredibly sweet with all animals and will try very hard to make them happy and loved. Worked well with my dog, a five year old blue heeler/collie mix that was about 50 lbs.”
19. Valerie C.
“Valerie is an amazing pet sitter! She is responsible, accountable, and proactive! She has helped out on short notice and always reliable. She has been a huge asset over the years, but even more helpful recently as my pet has aged. She administers meds, takes pet out for regular bathroom breaks, gives lots of fur baby rubs, and even takes my dog on walks around the neighborhood! I would gladly recommend Valerie for any pet sitting needs. She loves animals and that is apparent in all of her interactions. My dog loves her dearly and wags her tail frantically as soon as she sees Valerie at the front door! Give Valerie a try! You will NOT be disappointed! Good Luck, Joy”
20. makayla b.
“Makayla is the most responsible animal owner I have ever met. She pretty much babies all of her animals because she is terrified of one of them getting injured. She buys her dog outfits for every holiday and just recently bought her 2 cats and dog matching outfits.”
