About: I've been around dogs and animals my entire life. My oldest dog has been with me since I was 17 so she's going on 13 years old. I have a 5 year old Great Dane and German Australian mix that I've had since puppies. I'm great at teaching puppies sit, lay down, and recalling. (I'm not a professional by no means) I raised an elder iguana for 6 years before she passed, I grew up with cats of all personalities, and rabbits. I'm not shy or jittery of reptiles, amphibians, spiders or other insects. I work a very flexible work from home job that allows me to step away any time that I need. I can guarantee that your pet will not be alone for more than 4 hours Mon to Fri and Saturday and Sunday I usually have open availability I'm calm, I know stress signals in dogs and cats, I will meet with your animals at their own pace. I will follow any care instructions you have left and I will clean up any found accidents (puppies and other non house broke animals or elderly) including if their crates need cleaned as long as the supplies are easily found without me needing to open cabinets (on a counter or table) I always avoid people and other animals on walks to minimize all risks. I'm very careful when opening door in case someone decides to run, and I don't mind getting during/slobbered on
About: As a child I knew I was ready to take care of pets. Along with my career, pets are my passion. I have 3 of my own and no children. My pets are my children! From dog strollers to cat towers, we have it all! Taking a weekend trip? Perfect! I work a full time job M-F and have the weekends to myself. Most weekends are spent finding ways for my pups to enjoy and adventure. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I follow feeding schedules, give medication if needed, and keep the home tidy. I treat every pet like my own and always send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. 🐶 Although I don’t like it, we do have kennels for every size if your pet prefers a kennel at night or is kennel trained. Our dogs are friendly with other humans, dogs, and cats.
About: My Yorkie, Mocha, was my baby and love of my life for 16 years. He recently left this life leaving a hole in my heart. He was special needs and required medication and a lot of specialized care. I will treat yours just as I did Mocha. I have a big yard, plenty of good toys, and a nice neighborhood for walks. I can even make homemade meals if your fur babies would like! I have experience with puppies who need lots of attention on up to senior dogs who like a quiet, relaxing atmosphere, as well as special needs animals who need medicine or special care. I also have experience with cats and birds. I am an active bird foster but recently my last foster was adopted, so I don't have any birds in my care at the moment. I took a Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) master class which gave expert advice on handling aggressive or no so well behaved animals. I agree that most people need training, along with animals lol I am currently a stay at home mom. My 15 year old son is at school during the day. We also just had grandma move in with us so there is someone home at all times. So I am available 24/7. I have a unfenced yard but it is big and abilities to crate if necessary. Smoke free home and I don't drink. Other than that, I will give your fur baby free rein of the house. I'm not picky about sharing couches or cuddles! I understand pets are more comfortable at their own home, so I am open to coming to you.
“Raye is awesome. She took great care of the dogs and I could tell she really loves dogs. She made sure their needs were met and gave them some extra love and attention. I will definitely recommend and use her services again.”

“Victoria presented w/ maturity, experience, sincere interest, and a high level of commitment to my animals and with the duties I had outlined. She remained very conscientious, thorough and responsible throughout her visits, always sending pics and updates (even though I could not sign in to my Rover account). I am so glad I waited to make my final decision w/ her!”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets with very different needs. I currently own a high energy, high maintenance three year old Labradoodle, a senior 16 year old Dachshund who requires gentle, attentive care, and two cats so I’m comfortable balancing play, structure, patience, and affection all at once. I also have experience pet-sitting for a police officer with six cats while he was on vacation, which taught me how to manage multiple pets, routines, medications, and individual personalities responsibly. I take pride in being dependable, observant, and treating every pet as if they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am working part time so it genuinely fits into my daily life just perfect! I help run a restaurant so my schedule can be altered as needed for days on Rover I may have scheduled. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, respectful environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and remain attentive to changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own—keeping things clean, organized, and secure while maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I do communicate consistently with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets and home are in good hands. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel complete peace of mind.
About: I have been around animals my entire life! I was veterinarian technician of 8 years. Nurturing and caring for any critter comes natural. From dispensing medications to going on scheduled walks… I have you covered! Care and comfort provided in sending daily pics and videos as well. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine 🖤🐾 Pet care is currently my primary focus, which allows me to give your pets consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I’m able to structure my schedule fully around their needs—whether that’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening routines. Because I’m available full-time, I can provide more flexibility, supervision, and one-on-one attention than someone balancing pet care around another job. I take pride in creating a calm, reliable environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m intentional about my schedule and only take on what I can handle responsibly, so every pet gets the time, patience, and attention they deserve. With my background in veterinary care and grooming, I’m able to provide not just supervision, but informed, attentive care tailored to each pet. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I make their comfort and safety my top priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. I give them plenty of love, attention, and enrichment, while keeping your home tidy and respecting your space. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, a game of fetch, or a quiet companion for a shy pet, I provide care tailored to their unique personality and needs.
About: Hi! My name is Taylor. I absolutely love dogs and I have been around dogs my entire life. I live in a 3 bedroom house with my husband and 3 children. We have a German Shepherd named Ace and a Great Dane named Samson; they are very friendly and would love to make new friends! I am a stay at home mom so I can stay at my home or travel to your home and take care of your dog. I am willing to walk your dog or do anything to make your dog's stay special! About this sitter: Hi! My name is Taylor. I am willing to travel to your home so you don't have to worry about your dog while you're away! I can walk your dog, bathe him/her, feed and water him/her, give him/her their medication, or anything else your dog needs! I absolutely love dogs and I have been around them all my life. I am available at all times and I have a very flexible schedule. I hope to have lots of fun with your dog! Why I love dog sitting I have been around dogs my entire life. I have had both large and small dogs. About my yard Our family owns 13 acres. We have a lake on our property. Our home is not close to the road and we live in the country so there’s not a lot of traffic on the road. Our yard is not fenced in but your dog will not be left alone if it is outside. I will keep your dog on a leash at all times if that is what you prefer. We just moved to this property and built our home a few months ago and putting up a fence is one of our plans in the future. My experience administering medication I, myself, have had to give medication to my dogs many times so I am very comfortable with administering medication.
About: I grew up on a farm for most of my life so I have taken care of my share of all different kinds of animals. I’m currently a full time worker but I get off in the early afternoon so I am free during the week for the most part! I have a partial fence outside and cages if need be but normally I don’t put my animals or any others in the cage unless I absolutely have to. They will be let out more than a couple times a day and will be taken on walks if need be.
“5 stars again! Easter Weekend and Kayla didn’t skip a beat. The pictures of Stan-Lee say it all. Very Happy Kitty 😸 Rover is still limiting tips. Maybe they can up it a little, if I mention it enough. Thank You Kayla!”

“Amanda was on vacation several weeks ago, my babies would not eat anything. They were not happy at all. Her temporary replacement in no way could compare to Amanda. She is awesome!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“Faith has watched my cat a few times and done a wonderful job. The house and everything that went into caring for my cat was above and beyond. I didn’t have to do anything when we got home which is nice after being gone a week or two. I would highly recommend Faith and will definitely request her in the future.”
About: Hello, my name is Olivia and I love dogs! I have enjoyed taking care of dogs ever since I was little because they always put me in a good mood. I am a responsible college graduate who will primarily be home in Owensboro. I clean up after myself and am on time. I am also a very active person, so I can walk dogs multiple times every day. I've owned and taken care of 4 dogs with my family, and I have experience caring for multiple sizes, breeds, and personalities. My schedule is open and flexible mostly on weekends (some availability during the week), so I will be able to work or check in majority of the time during the coming months. I’m home most of the time on weekends and occasionally during the weekdays. I work a full time job during the week but I get breaks, so I have free time to check in on any dogs in my care! I stay with dogs most of the time I’m sitting them. I go on regular walks, so they’d get plenty of exercise. I make sure to make dogs as comfortable and happy as possible while their owners are away.
About: I have over three years of experience working in a veterinary clinic and dog shelter. I have three dogs of my own named Toast, CJ and Cooper. In addition to my boys I have one girl cat named Argent (Argie). I have had experience with medically complex dogs that have seizures, autoimmune disorders, complex eye issues and more. Owning exotic animals and horses has also been a passion of mine for over six years. If you can keep it as a pet, I have experience with it! I am available for select holidays, weekends, and overnight stays (subject to change). I have a part time job during the week which leaves my availability to only on weekends. Animals thrive on routine so I like to keep your pet(s) routine as close to normal as possible. I will send routine pictures and check ins while I am with your pet.
“She did a late night and short notice drop in for my boy who was barking and having anxiety and our friend was unreachable. She helped him even tho he was scared since he hadn’t meet her, but she took time and he went to her so well and calmed him down. Even tho I wasn’t there, I saw how sweet and patient she was with him on the camera and I just knew she was great with our boy and pets in general! She saved us a ton of stress! ❤️ definitely will ask her to help in the future and recommend to others.”

About: Experience with dogs and cats. Dog sitter with many years experience with multiple breeds of dogs. Can also do drop by service for feeding and potty breaks I Work full time so I am mainly available for weekends only services. Home most evenings so I am able to spend time with your pet.
