House Sitting in Shelbyville

“Alex did a great job with Jax! She took great care of him. Our home was very neat and clean when we got home. We will definitely be repeat clients for her!”

Perry H.

“Brooke took great care of our high energy boys. We got regular updates and pictures and the house looked great when we got home. My daughter said it looked weird because it was cleaner than normal…so it had been noticeably cleaned up.”

Melissa H.

“Ross stayed with our 2 dogs for several hours one afternoon, including giving each of them a walk. He was prompt in arriving, sat on the floor to greet each one of them, and did exactly what I asked. I would definitely hire him again if the need arises.”

“What can I say about Preston. She’s a bright, charismatic young lady who my pups Stella & Duke had the pleasure of being cared for by Ms. Preston for the last 11 days while I was on the other side of the country. Preston was kind to my dogs and they both loved having a new face to get a vacation away from their dad. Preston was in contact with me at all times, she took frequent photos of my dogs daily. She was very neat and cleaned up after herself through the last 11 days when she would drop by to care for my pups. I would highly recommend Preston to care for your animals and will certainly use her services again in the future!”

“Kaitlyn was an excellent care giver and companion to my senior pup. Kaitlyn made wonderful suggestions and accommodations to Lacey’s diet. Lacey was well-loved. 🥰In addition, she was conscientious in ensuring the house stayed neat.”

“Mary was absolutely WONDERFUL cannot recommend her enough!! Left our house beautifully clean and the animals absolutely loved her! She even brought them some parting toys on her way out, so nice! Tons of updates and pictures, felt extremely safe with her on our home 🩷 even our super shy kitty loved her!!”

Claire O.

“Taylor was so incredibly wonderful!!! She took such great and attentive care with our two pups that we felt at ease while we were away (That can be very hard to do when you have to leave your fur babies behind!). We received consistent updates and plenty of funny pictures/videos to get us through our puppy withdraws, and that made all of the difference to us. Our home was left tidy, and I’d say probably even better than how we left it! We would 1000% book her again for any of our puppy needs. She’s one of a kind! :)”

Shelby C.

“There are not enough words to praise Emily for the care she gave our baby!! It was the first time we ever left our dog with someone, and we were very nervous. That all disappeared the moment we met Emily. She was so good with our baby (and with us), that we knew we chose the perfect person. While we were gone, we received numerous photos and videos of our baby that proved to us that not only was she doing well, but she was happy, content, and was getting all the attention she needed. Emily stayed in our home; and when we returned, it was just as neat and clean as when we left it. Emily is the number one choice ALWAYS!!”

About: Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love being around pets of all kinds. I have over two years of experience working as a kennel attendant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels. I also spent two years shadowing at a veterinary clinic, where I became comfortable administering medications as directed and recognizing signs of illness or distress. These experiences taught me how important patience, attention to detail, and gentle care are when it comes to working with pets. Although I’m new to the Rover community, I’m definitely not new to pet care! I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine and am passionate about providing animals with the love, comfort, and care they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m always happy to adapt to what makes them feel safest and happiest while you’re away. I have two dogs of my own — a yellow Labrador Retriever and a fawn Pug — who keep life fun and energetic! Being a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies, and I’ll always care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, trips to the dog park, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, patience, and attention. I’m currently home full-time from college, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I can often accommodate last-minute bookings as well. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I am currently a student at Michigan State University studying Animal Science, and I am passionate about gaining hands-on experience working with animals. Every opportunity to care for pets allows me to continue learning and growing in the field I hope to build my career in. When I care for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent so they feel secure. I follow your directions carefully, keep things clean, and make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they’re used to. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and pictures so you feel connected and reassured. I treat your home and your pets with a lot of respect.

“Dogs very happy and well taken care of. Would Reccomened and will use again. Great sitter.”

About: **I’m currently offering lower rates than I normally would in order to get my foot in the door with Rover! :) Thank you so much for supporting a Rover newbie! 💗** Hi! 🤗🐕🩷 I’m Alexus and I have been baby-sitting (pets & humans!) for over 9 years now for family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers who have simply heard good things about me from others! People have kept me as their sitter for years because they know they can count on me to be responsible, attentive, communicative, & honest with them while their babies are in my care! 🐶🐱🐰🐹 I’m down-to-earth, calm, and will always be patient & kind to animals of any kind and will respect your home with utmost care. 🏡💕 When you are missing your babies, don’t hesitate to ask for an extra picture or video of them if you want more! I love taking cute photos of every animal I meet and will spoil them with affection. 🌅💗🐩 I will also strictly adhere to any checklist or request that you have— my mission is to give your baby the stability, love, and care that they expect in their daily routine. Whether it is sitting, boarding, walking, or basic grooming, I will provide the home away from home for them by meticulously following directions for specific exercise regimens, dietary restrictions, training (e.g. taking a puppy out to potty every 30-45 min. & rewarding with praise & treat), medication administration, etc. 🍼🧴🧸🎾💊🦮 I will NEVER, under any circumstance, use punishment or fear-instilling tactics. I am a lifelong dog-lover and a dedicated advocate of humane training & treatment of animals. I am Pet First Aid Certified and dedicated to prioritizing pet safety & comfort in order for them and their parents (you!) to be stress-free. ❤️🐾🌎 I can’t wait to meet-and-greet with you & your fur baby! 🫶🐾 I am a full-time dedicated professional pet care provider for families local to the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. I understand what it’s like to need a last-minute booking, and I will happily take same-day requests! I am currently available 24/7 for all pet care needs. In my home, your babies will enjoy a squeaky clean, comfortable newly-remodeled living room and guest bedroom, as well as a .5-acre fenced-in backyard (will remain leashed while outside) with enriching landscape in a cozy, quiet tucked-away neighborhood. I allow doggies on the couches, but will gladly redirect any dogs away from furniture through positive reinforcement (NEVER PUNISHMENT) if you would like. In your home, I will meticulously adhere to every standard you request and proactively communicate with you regarding in-home checklists as needed.

“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”

About: About Me: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have more than 10 years of experience with cats and dogs. My husband, our 5-year-old son, and I care for pets together, so your cutie gets lots of attention, companionship, and a warm home atmosphere. We genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—playing, relaxing, and giving them the affection they deserve. We love the outdoors, so if your pet enjoys it too, we’re happy to include fun adventures like neighborhood walks, gentle hikes, and fresh-air outings—always tailored to your pet’s age, energy level, and routine. If I’m staying in a city with a nearby beach, such as San Jose or San Francisco (where I sometimes visit family), we may also enjoy a beach outing, always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your pet. For pets who prefer a quieter pace, we’re just as happy to provide calm companionship, enrichment, and cozy cuddle time at home. Cleanliness and health are a big priority for me. I take pride in maintaining a clean, safe environment—deep-cleaning litter boxes, keeping feeding areas tidy, refreshing water bowls, and making sure pet spaces stay comfortable and sanitary. I believe the small details truly make a big difference for pets and their families. Most importantly, I care for every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to behavior cues, routines, and preferences—whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or senior. Daily Updates: I will send daily updates with photos and videos, so you can see how your pet is doing and feel relaxed while you’re away. I can also include notes on meals, walks/potty breaks, playtime, and overall mood if you’d like. What You Can Expect: Loving, family-style care and companionship Clean, healthy pet environment (litter box/feeding area hygiene) Routine-focused care (meals, meds if needed, walk schedules) Daily photo + video updates for peace of mind On a weekly basis, I set aside time for deeper tasks like thorough litter box cleaning, refreshing food and water stations, and ensuring medications or special diets are handled with care. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, these responsibilities don’t feel like chores — they’re a rewarding part of my everyday life. The boarding is available daily after around 3 p.m. When I board pets in my home, I treat them as part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. Pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible — including feeding times, walks, medications, and bedtime habits — so they feel comfortable and secure.

About: My responsibilities encompass medication administration for geriatric canines, guaranteeing they receive thorough care under my direct supervision. This includes topical ophthalmic treatments and oral medication delivery. Prior to commencing work, I administered ophthalmic drops to my canine companion to alleviate her discomfort. She has a structured toileting schedule and receives comprehensive support. Pampered pooches rejoice! From bath time bliss to daily strolls, your furry friend will be living the good life. Medication management is a breeze, ensuring your pet's health is always top-notch. I take the worry out of pet care so you can relax and enjoy your companion. It's the ultimate in canine comfort and convenience.

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs. Every time I go and dog sit for a relative I always let them know they’re free to stay out longer because I’m probably already in love with your animal. I’ve always taken good care of my dogs and cats and other peoples dogs and cats. I treat dogs as family and just like they’re people. Whatever rules you will leave for me I will follow step by step and leave the dog just how it was before i arrived. Giving a dog company is a very important aspect because dogs need loving and attention just as much as we do. I feel that I am a great applicant for a dog sitting job because I am able to take care of the dog, feed the dog, and give the dog plenty of attention. However, after I leave, your dog will experience extreme sadness for the reason being he’s just had to part with his new best friend. I’m currently in college at JCTC part-time all online! Leaving my availability and attention wide open for your animal(s). I’m available all days of the week and all hours of the day. I’ve always found myself becoming a dog or cat’s best friend. That usually leads to me overcompensating for their needs. If an animal shows any sign of needing something I will literally always stop what I’m doing to make them happy. I just have that thing that animals love. My animals are always fed, always have a full water bowl, and always deserve treats for doing their duties. I’m also a people pleaser, so I’m understanding that different animals and families have different wants and needs and I’m always more than happy to meet those. At the end of the day I want to keep you and your family worry-free and feel 100% safe with me in your place of loving taking care of your alls pet(s).

About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on care for pets of all kinds. I offer pet sitting in my home or yours, boarding, and dog walking. We treat every animal like our own, and pets truly love their time here. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as cats and even reptiles of all types. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!! I am available for overnights on the weekends when I am not at work so I have more time to dedicate to your sweet pet. I care for pets in my home and in my clients’ homes by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I feed pets according to their usual schedule and diet, provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I carefully follow any instructions given by pet parents, including medications, special needs, or training preferences. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away.

About: I have pet sat for family and friends for 2 years now. I have watched everything from dogs and cats to pigs and lizards! I am able to give medications if need be. I am currently working during the day for 8 hours. I usually stop home and will return around 9 each day. On the weekends I tend to be home more. I always make sure the animals are too priority while I’m in your home. Whether it when I wake up, come back or before I go to sleep I make sure all their need are taken care of.
