“Fantastic job making my pups feel comfortable and treated them like family. She had them for a week and sent me multiple pictures a day of my sweet babies. Super responsive to messages and I will be rebooking her! Thanks 😊”
“Katie was a perfect caretaker for our dogs while we were away getting married. She eased my worries about leaving the dogs alone for the first time with someone that wasn’t family. She gave us detailed updates every day. We will definitely use her services again and we highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Paige is wonderful, and took excellent care of our dog while we traveled! As he is a rescue with some past trauma and special needs, we were a bit nervous to leave him, but Paige was so sweet and understanding with him. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that he was in great hands, and that our home was as well!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for my own pets and fostering both cats and dogs. I'm an avid walker with a super flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and love while you're away. I treat every animal like family—because they deserve nothing less! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I have lots of availability and love being active, so I’m always ready for walks, playtime, and cuddles. My days are flexible, which means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency as often as they need. I care for pets with the same attention and love I give my own. I'm very detail-oriented, neat, and organized. I'll always follow your instructions exactly to keep your pet comfortable and your home just the way you left it. You can trust me to treat both with the utmost care and respect.
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Marigold!! They took such great care of my dog while I was out of the country for a week and I felt completely confident he was in excellent hands. I think he may have enjoyed his vacation just as much as I did! I received plenty of (super cute) photos and came home to find everything just as I left it. I would highly recommend Marigold and will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Kylie was absolutely wonderful with my dog and two feral cats that I care for. She’s kind, responsive, and kept me up to date on everything happening with my pup and home. She left my house clean and even washed and changed my sheets! I trust her completely with my babies.”
About: I have had my own dog for 14 years and walked neighbors dogs when I was growing up. Helped walk/watch friends dogs throughout college when they would be traveling. I work each week day but can watch/walk a dog morning, Lunch time, and post work. I also work close to home and can come let them out multiple times. I have a fenced in backyard with lots of grass that my dog loves playing fetch and taking a nap in the sun during the summer
“Gabrielle was great! Very responsive, left the house clean and tidy. My dog looks well cared for and loved while I was away. Appreciate everything! Will use her help again!”
About: I’ve loved dogs (and cats) since I can remember! I’ve taken care of dogs for about 3 years now, whether that be family, friends, and/or neighbors pets. I am a full time student at the University of Louisville but will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available during the week and some weekends. I keep my eyes on your fur baby at all times to ensure they’re not getting into any trouble and are safe. Will follow all instructions regarding your fur baby.
“Betsy was great!! She helped us with our unique situation of having our dog as our flower girl for our wedding ? Betsy watched after our dog while we took photos, people arrived, and during the ceremony. She also took our dog back to our house - 20 min drive and got her in the kennel with dinner fed! Seriously a huge help and she executed everything we needed flawlessly! Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter - thanks Betsy!”
About: Through my own dog, bear, I have developed a care and compassion for animals. Animals are my passion, and I plan to pursue this passion in marine biology after my undergraduate at JcTc to preserve the biodiversity of our planet. I am a graduate cum laude from high school, I have a total flexibility on weekdays, before 2:00pm on Fridays, and my weekends are open. I have a fenced in backyard, my pet has regular vet visits, I am responsible for insuring my dog the proper amount of nutrition each day. I understand the importance of daily walks, and use a leash at all times.
“Reyna was wonderful to work with. She let us know her schedule prior to booking to make sure it would work with our dogs needs. She communicated on a regular basis on how our dog was doing. Our dog can be very anxious and difficult and Reyna handled her very well. We got lots of pictures while we were gone, which were great. Definitely will use Reyna again.”
“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”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets I grew up with. This gave me the experience of taking care of puppies, that grew to be elderly dogs. I can take an energetic puppy for a tiring walk or be patient with the senior who needs extra breaks. I’m experienced in preparing different meals for dogs with dietary needs as well. I currently work part time leaving most my availability between 9a-2p. But I have specific days that I will have fully open for pet care. I am often the go-to pet sitter for my family/friends. I try to receive a routine that the pet is used to, so I can follow it to keep the animal(s) as comfortable as possible. I shower every animal with love, if it welcomes it and want to take the best care of anyone’s pet.
“Rachel watched my dogs and house for a long weekend. I got frequent updates and good communication while away. The pups were happy and the house was in great shape when I returned. So relieved to have a great sitter when traveling.”
“Becca was very sweet and attentive to our babies needs! She kept us updated with daily pictures and messages about how they were doing. Will definitely continue hiring her in the near future!”

“I have a Goldendoodle, a Pitbull, and multiple cats. Jen has dog (and cat) sat for me multiple times and always goes above and beyond. She treats all of our animals as if they were her own. She even went and bought an extra harness for my pittie after she chewed through her previous one! Jen has also came just to walk our dogs. We have a new baby so it’s hard to get out with them as much as we would like to in the heat lately but that didn’t deter Jen. She walks them 3+ miles! She is super respectful of my house. Never leaves any messes behind and even cleaned up a few hairballs on multiple occasions-sorry Jen! Our animals love her and we do too. She is really great and I definitely recommend her!”
