“Saren was great with our pups, one of which is anxious and takes daily meds. She left our house even better than we left it too. Would absolutely use her again in a heartbeat!”


“Alyson was great with our 4 legged family member Rowdy. She gave him all the love he missed when we were gone. She took him for walks, sent pictures, sent videos and our house was left the way we left it. Definitely will book her again and would recommend her to anyone who asks.”


“Our 4 dogs had an amazing time with Makenzie! Lots of pictures and updates. Came home to a clean home and happy pets. Will 100% use again, and 100% would recommend!”


“Great job, won cats over quickly, even our scaredy cat. Stuck to the schedule given. Did overnights for us, I never doubted his integrity with our house or personal items, very trustworthy.”


About: I’ve had pets my whole life. With my childhood dog I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing the wildness of new pups as well as the medication/diapers/aftercare needed when they grow old. I’m a little newer to cats, but both of my mine have been raised from kittens. My oldest will be turning 3 this year! I will be taking classes and working part time in the afternoons. I think my schedule works well for Rover because I am free in the mornings (until 12:30pm), I can check in from 3-4 if needed, then I am free anytime after 5:30! My two cats are escape artists, so I have gotten pretty good at hiding the opening in the door when I enter a room! For me personally, this is always my biggest concern when having people watch over my animals, so I want you to know that I’m very spatially aware when it comes to animals.

“I don't have words to describe Amy! The warmth and attention she showed to our Mayse were incredible. She was very thoughtful from the beginning, even coming to our home before scheduling the Thanksgiving service so we could meet her. Amy considered our travel schedule and sent daily photos and videos. On the second-to-last day, she made sure to coordinate her arrival time to keep Mayse from being too lonely. Amazing!”


“She was able to help me out at the last minute with my pit Bull mix Dora when I had to work on the weekend, which was just a bad vacation. She sent me plenty of updates and photos, which was obviously very helpful. Dora was in good hands and she was able to also handle some things I had forgotten to do at home. She’s highly demanded on the app, so I can only hope that she will accept our request for help in the future! Thanks AnaMarie”


About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I have had many animals of my own my whole life along with pet sitting for many family members, friends, and neighbors. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked in a vet office for over a year now and with my hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m trained to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy pups. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life — not just a job, but a commitment I truly enjoy. I build my schedule around my clients’ pets to ensure consistency, comfort, and reliability. Caring for pets in their own home keeps their environment consistent and stress-free. I follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and medication. I stick to your instructions for house rules, routines, and preferences. I tidy up after myself (and your pet), water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home secure. I provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Jackie was truly helpful when I needed her at the last minute. She spent time with my pup and was super communicative throughout her time with him. Jackie also sent check-in photos. Jackie spent the night at my home and washed the bedding she used.”


About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds. One thing that separates myself from other dog walkers is that I treat each pet how I would treat my own and I treat my own like my kids. My goal is to provide the same care for your dogs as I expect for mine. Pet care is a major part of my daily and weekly routine since I own a dog walking/sitting business. I am almost always available to meet my clients needs for their furry companions. The only times when I am not available is when I am coaching basketball. Unfortunately, I do not care for pets at my home. However, when caring for pets in your home I will keep them on the exact routine as they are accustomed to to make them as comfortable as possible.

“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”


“Ciera was amazing! She came and met our furbabies before we left. She was super flexible as our trip had to shift three days later due to weather. She was able to still come on that day. She brought in mail and packages, she stayed for multiple hours at a time to spend time with our babies and came multiple times a day. She gave great updates with pictures. I didn’t have to worry at all about my babies and knew they were not stressed being in a new place. In fact our one dog Pandora will be a picky eater even with us, but she ate every meal except the last day, which isn’t surprising. What was is that she was so comfortable she ate when we weren’t there. Even our cat Dani who usually hides from strangers came out day one and was very friendly. Ciera is amazing! Cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be using her again in the future!”



“Christina is terrific! She spent the day with our 2 pups to get to know them before an upcoming week long house sitting stay. We will rest easy knowing our pups and house are in good hands.”


About: I have cared for animals of all kinds—cats, dogs, and birds—since I was a kid. My experience includes caring for my own dogs, from newborn puppies to senior dogs with special needs like managing diabetes. I also volunteer at Jeffersonville Animal Shelter, where I walk puppies and help get them some fresh air and exercise. Additionally, I’ve had the opportunity to care for coworkers’ dogs, which has made me comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds—no dog is too small, big, young, or old for me. My own fur baby sadly passed away this past April due to cancer, and because of that, I’m passionate about spreading love and care to as many animals as possible. This work means as much to me as it does to those I’m helping! I work Wednesday through Saturday from 8 AM to 6:30 PM, so I’m happily available to care for your pets full days on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I’m also available to stay overnight during the week to keep your furry friends company and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just being there for snuggles, I treat every pet like my own and make their happiness my priority. :) When providing in-home boarding, my goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s daily routine as closely as possible—from feeding and medication to walk times and bedtime rituals! I treat your home with the utmost respect and care, keeping it clean, secure, and just as you left it. I maintain open communication throughout the stay, providing regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
