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
“She watched our dogs for our wedding. Would use her again. Sent pics of the dogs and was the best.”
“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.”
“Maya was great! She kept me updated and my house was cleaner than when I left. My dogs seemed happy and relaxed the entire time we were gone. I highly recommend Maya!”
“Rallie and I are going to miss having Tori on a regular bases. She is truly an awesome person and great with Rallie. Great tail wags when he see's her...”
“Ashley was a great sitter! She followed all of our instructions and asked questions when other issues came up. Our boy can be a handful, but Ashley seemed to take his behavior in stride. We got daily updates with pictures of our dog looking happy and cared for.”
“Gabrielle is always great to have watch Rufus. Communicates well and I always come home to a clean house and a happy boy :) Thank you for everything, Gabrielle!”
“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!”
“Jenna watched our two giant dogs for a quick trip. She sent photo and video updates, letting us know how they were doing. It went great and I’ll definitely be rebooking next time!”
“Mattison was amazing! This was the first person we tried without a personal referral, and we couldn’t have been happier. She came before the requested dates to meet our dogs and understand their needs. With her being a Vet tech made us even more excited about using her. She will definitely be our first option for as long as she wants to sit for us.”
About: Some Senior Care Magic hands with dogs Feeding and Nutrition I have some experience with giving medications, but please tell me what works best for your pet. I currently am working part time for the summer so I will be able to check with your pets late at night and early morning. The most they'll be alone will probably be 5 hours. Most of time they won't be alone for Sundays. In your home, I'll make sure to walk them outside and if you have a backyard we'll play outside. We'll also play in any surrounded parks.
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.
“Emilia is our go-to dog sitter for our two Great Pyrenees! She sends pictures and updates multiple times each day, we know they’re in great hands. She always leaves our home very tidy and clean!!”
“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”
“Mario is fabulous! He went out of his way to make sure my fur kids were well taken care of while I was out of town. I never had any worries about him staying at my house. My dogs were well taken care of & happy when I got home. He really loves dogs & pays attention to detail. I will be using him regularly for their walks & any time I'm out of town.”
“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: Hi, I'm Tammy. I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a very young girl. While you're away, your fur babies will be treated as special as if they were my very own. I will walk, feed, bathe (if requested), and provide lots and lots of snuggles. I'm a retired state government employee, so I'm now able to devote my time, attention, and affection towards taking care of your precious pet. I absolutely love animals, but I don't have any pets of my own, so I look very forward to showering your pets with attention and affection. I am available to let the puppies out for pottie breaks as often as needed and to let them run in the yard. My time will be devoted to your precious baby, and I can't wait to meet you and them! I will send you photos and/or messages throughout the day to keep you updated and reassured as often as you prefer. I have a fenced yard to keep your fur babies safe, happy and active. If your fur babies aren't active that's perfectly ok, too...they can lounge around and relax, watch TV, or listen to music. At night, your doggies can sleep with me if that's what they're used to, they can be crated, or sleep on their doggie bed. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible while you're away.
