“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”
“Julie is the best. She took very good care of our senior dogs, particularly when one was very ill. She understands dog behavior and how to deal with various dog personalities, which is comforting when you are leaving your loved ones with others. My dog gets very excited when she arrives. She had a big heart, and I could not recommend her more.”
About: I love caring for people and pets of all kinds. My favorite jobs have been as a nanny, babysitter, senior caregiver, disability caregiver, pet sitter, and dog walker. I will care for your fur babies as if they were mine. I currently work part-time as an in-home senior caregiver, so I have lots of time to pick up extra pet jobs. My hours vary from week to week, but i know my schedule availability two weeks in advance. I am responsible, conscientious, and detail-oriented. Friends, family, and clients trust me to joyfully care for their loved ones, both animal and human. I look forward to caring for your pet!
“Lucy does a great job!! She’s taken my dog for multiple walks. Always sends the cutest photos! Does a great job with communication and always remembers to lock up when she leaves. Highly recommend!”
“Erin does wonderful. She has been taking my little pup out during the day for walks and spends her time productively with a good walk. She is very prompt with communication and shows up on time. She sends updates with pictures and a summary of her bathroom breaks. I will continue to use Erin.”
“Jordan was great. She was also EXTREMELY accommodating. My other dog walker fell through, so it was very last minute. But she was able to help me out. I will definitely use her again.”
“Haley really did me a solid when she let me know that Ryleigh wasn't feeling good. She took the time to find her meds and give them to her. Truly appreciated that.”
About: I’ve been taking care of peoples pets and my own since 17 yrs old. I work hard to make sure all their needs are met. My own dog is a senior with additional special needs, and I have had other pets like lizards, cats, and hamsters. All the people I love in my life have pets, so it’s not surprising I grew up to love and want to care for them as well. I am a full time student, but I study from home majority of the day. I am super flexible, and I ensure communication when there is a stricter day in my schedule. I respond in a timely fashion. I usually am more available on weekdays but I can take on weekends as well depending on what my week looks like. Boarding: With your suggestions for your pet, I can crate them or let them roam free during boarding. They will already have their own food and water bowl. Please bring food/treats and comfort supplies for them as they will miss you. I am able to take them on walks twice a day and potty/pee brakes 4x a day. House sitting: I will make sure to follow your instructions and keep everything organized for you and your fur baby :)
“Amanda is extremely prompt and ALWAYS reliable. She’s great to work with and apparently gives great belly rubs because our Snicky absolutely loves her. I know I can always count on Amanda to love on our baby.”
About: I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PETS; CURRENTLY I HAVE 3 RESCUE CATS. FURTHER, FOR LAST 4 YEARS, I HAVE DONE MANY IN-HOME SITS FOR DOGS, CATS AND CHICKENS OF DIFFERING AGES AND SIZES. WITH IN-HOME SITS, I WILL USUALLY STAY TIL MID-MORNING THEN HANG AT MY HOUSE OR ERRANDS FOR A FEW HOURS. I THEN WILL RETURN IN AFTERNOON, DEPENDING ON PETS' NEEDS, AND THEN RETURN EARLY EVE FOR ALL NIGHT. FOR IN-HOME AND DROP INS I AM VERY FLEXIBLE IN SCHEDULING. I WILL TAKE GREAT CARE OF YOUR PETS; I KNOW HOW PRECIOUS THEY ARE. MY 3 CATS RULE AND EACH HAS A UNIQUE PERSONALITY. YOUR PET WILL, OF COURSE, MISS YOU BUT I WILL MAKE TRANSITION EASIER BY GIVING LOTS OF LOVE AND ATTENTION. I WILL BRING IN MAIL, TOO.
“I set up a meet and greet with Kim and my puppers, Brin. She was returning from a trip and she was probably jet-lagged, but I would have never known. She was nice and we had a great walk together, as I filled her in on Brin and took her to our local park to show her the trails. Kim's schedule is flexible and that is a good fit for us. I will be using Kim's services in the future.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all ages and sizes. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have dog-sat for many years. I bring patience, love, and reliability to every visit. Whether your dog is big or small, shy or social, I adapt to their unique personality and needs. I genuinely love helping out in any way I can, whether it’s a long walk, feeding time, or a quick potty break. I treat every pet like family, and I’m here to make your life easier! I’m a college student with a set class schedule, but I’m available outside of those hours to help care for your pup. I’m reliable, communicative, and always do my best to respond quickly. I closely follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, or medical needs you provide, and I always keep a watchful eye to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy.
About: I grew up with pets but once I moved to college in 2016 I started pet sitting often as a side gig and now I pet sit and house sit almost every other weekend for my friends who go out of town. —I’ve sat up to 3 dogs before -from pop ins to 10 day long house/pet sittings -from rescued dogs to puppies -pet sat cats too I work for a ministry on UK’s campus so I have flexible hours. I do not have any set days or times but am willing to pick up help when needed with enough notice! I do whatever is most comfortable for the owners! I crate when needed or snuggle them when they need it! I’m ready to take them on walks or let them run around outside!
About: I am a dog lover! My 4 year old golden is my heart and I would love to help others out with their fur family. Caring for animals is a passion and enjoyable for me I work from home for my full time job and my schedule is incredibly flexible so could do those mid day walks that are tough to swing. Pets are family, so it’s important to treat them and provide top notch service! I treat any pet I care for as I would want my own dog treated
“Duchess had a great time walking with Jubilee. Jubilee stepped in and saved a friend of mine who was experiencing post surgical difficulty with professionalism and poise. Coordinating this from many states away proved entirely possible because of Jubilee's response and attention to detail as we navigated this tumultuous time. Couldn't be more grateful or satisfied with Jubilee or Roverdotcom. Without these two amazing two partners, I don't know what we'd have done.”
“Bailey was very accommodating, especially when it came to a last-minute request. We would trust her again to take care of Leo, our dog. She is easy to work with.”

“Marianne is wonderful! She's a natural with all pets - loving, nurturing, able to understand what they need and are communicating. She took wonderful care of my 3 year old boxer with daily walks while I was on vacation. It was a relief to know he was in great hands and getting the exercise he needs. She sent cute pics too, which were so good for this mama heart missing the pup. Thanks Marianne! :)”
