“Lauran was fantastic while I was visiting Louisville for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby weekend. Her communication was top notch, always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the two days. I especially appreciated her flexibility when I needed to add an extra walk at the last minute, she was incredibly accommodating and handled it without any issues. It’s a huge relief to find someone so reliable and easy to work with when you're visiting another city for an event. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and adaptable walker!”

“Sam was great! She was able to help me out in a pinch. She was prompt and informative. She requested instructions and followed them perfectly. And Korben obviously loved her too!”

“Casey did a great job watching my boy while I was out of town. She was punctual, easily reachable/quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. Great communication with plenty of pictures/updates. I will definitely be using her again for any future trips.”

“Lauren is amazing! I have two dogs, a senior and a puppy, that have different needs. She worked with me to plan their walks and communicated wonderfully. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Lauren to help take care of your fur babies!!!”
“Kat is amazing! She is prompt, responsible, communicates well, and is great with my dog. She consistently brings him back well exercised and happy! Highly recommend! I am grateful to have found her and feel pretty lucky—and my dog feels the same!”

“Taylor did amazing with our pets. Our pup is very dog reactive and Taylor used her extensive experience while navigating walks with her. She has quite a charm with animals. She even coaxed out our hermit cat. Taylor did a fabulous job communicating with us and keeping us updated. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced Rover.”

“Tara was wonderful!! I loved her updates while I was out of town for work. She was very communicative and quick to respond. I will certainly have her walk the pups again in the future!”

About: I am a doctoral candidate in Biology at UofL, so you know I'm good at organization and scheduling! I think my time as a graduate student has sharpened my reasoning and communication skills as well. It's also increased my animal handling experience (mice)! I've had pets my whole life, mostly cats and dogs. My most recent pet is an elderly shi tzu with a surprising amount of energy! Apollo is a very skiddish cat, but we've definitely earned each others' trust. I can drop by to check on your pet, take them out for a walk (if weekday, must be before 10am or after 5pm, can be flexible), check on them periodically to feed them, or house sit (weekends only). I am a grad student, so I'm usually busy during weekdays 10am-5pm. Most of my work now is away from the bench, so I can be a little flexible about those hours Weekends are generally open! I love in an apartment that doesn't allow animals so I can't keep any here. I can however watch your furry friend at your house or take them on walks around the neighborhood!
About: I’ve had animals all my life! From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. I've been pet sitting since I could drive, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or keeping up with special diets or meds, I treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior care. I'm reliable, attentive, and truly love what I do! Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that works great for pet care. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are my most available times, but I can also include pet care during breaks in my day if we schedule in advance. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around your routine to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your furry friend to relax and feel at home. I love taking pets to nearby parks and nature trails for safe, fun walks and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. I always follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, and safety guidelines to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and well looked after.
About: Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. Have owned as many as 5 at one time, as well as fostering dogs, cats and kittens, including a special needs beagle with degenerative myelopathy (he had a cool wheelchair :) . I love them all and will care for them like they are my own. I will scratch and play and provide belly rubs on command. If I sit for your dog in my home, my cat, Frankie, will just roll her eyes and move on :) I am happy to work with the schedule you prefer for your furry kids, even if it's not the same as mine. Please contact me with questions, I am happy to chat first so we are both comfortable. While I no longer work from home, I still have plenty of time to care for dogs in my home, as I have done for my own dogs 😊 I have a fenced yard and a special “dog room” with toys a few different sized crates for when they need some space from my cat 😊.

Lauran was understanding and affectionate with my granddogs , working very well both with the elderly dog and the younger strong-minded one. She was flexible to come when most needed. Lauran is mature, experienced, and able to handle the dogs easily, keeping them safe and happy. I look forward to having her care for the dogs again. She made it possible for me to care for the dogs and they love her.

Ryan is absolutely amazing! I honestly couldn't ask for better care for my dog. He is reliable, super communicative, and pays special attention to my dog’s needs. My baby girl gets so excited when Ryan arrives! I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker."
