“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 reliable and very professional. She provided a good summary of her walk and how Hurley did. We would definitely recommend Julie and plan to reach out to her again.”


“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!”


“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.”


About: I know how nerve-wracking it can be trusting a complete stranger with your babies. I will always treat your's as if they are my own. For the time that they are with me, I will give them my undivided attention and care. I am a special Education paraeducator for Fayette County. So since it's summer break, my schedule is open and flexible. I'm happy to help out and work with anyone's schedule. It can be stressful needing someone last minute and no one is available. I know how nerve-wracking it can be trusting a complete stranger with your babies. I will always treat your's as if they are my own. For the time that they are with me, I will give them my undivided attention and care.

“Flexible in schedule, dogs love her, highly recommend”


“Elli is great! Easy to coordinate with and very responsive. Moses gets a good walk every time she visits. 🙂”



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!

“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 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.

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

“Amanda was so great to have! Her communication was amazing and she assisted with making sure my dog had everything she needed while I was gone. I plan to rebook with her anytime I’m out of town again!”


About: I've been taking care of animals (both cats and dogs) since childhood! Family pets are near and dear to my heart. I can provide quality care for your furry friends and provide prompt updates and photos when you are away from them. I have experience working with both cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m currently working part-time before starting medical school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer dependable drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel cared for and comfortable while you're away. I care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I offer reliable transportation to reach your home and can transport pets if needed. During drop-in visits, I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, playtime, and prompt updates with photos to keep you at ease. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my priority.

“Really happy with how well the walks are going. Benjen is really happy!!”


“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 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!

“My dogs loved Hayden, and she knew exactly how to handle them! They looked so happy in the photos she sent. Definitely will be booking her again!”


“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.”


“We recently booked with Brooke for a recurring weekly walk with our dog, Willow. She has been so great and attentive to our suggestions and also Willow’s needs.”
