“Leslie was great with our dog and kept in contact with us the whole time we were out of town. Our dog takes daily medication and is stubborn in his old age. She was great with him and took care of everything he needed. We will definitely use her in the future!”

“My dog and cats loved Kalin! House was immaculate upon my return and she sent lots of pics. Thanks for taking such good care of my crew! I’ll definitely be using Kalin again!”

About: I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats, and with housesitting as well. I am able to help support animals who have health concerns, special needs, and anxiety. I can administer medication and give shots as well. I have a senior kitty and an adult age cat myself, so plenty of experience with senior care. And I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors. I am happy to work with any owner to accommodate their pets needs and make them feel comfortable while they are away. I am have nearly full availability the next couple of months, so please reach out and I should be able to accommodate any time frame. I will abide by all house and property rules for the animals safety which includes leashes, fences, walking paths. I am happy to work with owners on what they are most comfortable with. I do not bring pets inside my home as my cats are usually not friendly to that! But I am always happy to stay at others homes.
“Willow was great with our greyhounds. We booked Willow to watch our pets for the day while we were out for an extended period of time. He was flexible with arrival /departure times, attentive to instructions and his calm demeanor was exactly what our two needed. We will be calling on Willow in the future to watch them again when the need arises.”

“Amber is wonderful. She stayed at our house with our fur baby 24 hours for a week. Sent pictures and left the house nice and tighty. Will definitely use from now on. Highly recommend!!”

“Katie sent LOTS of updates and pictures. She was great with Willow and River, especially knowing River can be nervous with new people. She had him cuddling with her in no time. Would 100% recommend!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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've cared for many dogs! I love dogs of all ages! I am very active and love going on walks! I have experience with elderly dogs. As well as handing medications for them and helping them with their mobility around the house and to use the potty! No matter the age your pup will be loved and cared for by me! I work nights. Since my shifts are during the evening and overnight hours, I’m available during the day to care for pets, take them on walks, feed them, and spend quality time with them. My schedule is very flexible during the day. Which means I can give pets plenty of attention and maintain their routines. Working nights allows me to be available for early morning, afternoon, and evenings before work check ins! care for pets by closely following their owners’ instructions and maintaining the routines they’re used to. When staying overnight, I dedicate my full attention to the pet, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure while also keeping the home clean and tidy. For drop-in visits, I make sure to allow plenty of time for feeding, walks, play, and cuddles, so each pet gets the care and attention they deserve.
About: I have been taking care and sitting pets since I was 16. I was raised having both cats and dogs, I love animals and playing with them! I am currently a student at the University of Louisville! Therefore, I have the time to be able to be a sitter and be flexible to accommodate needs and wants. At my house I have a dog and cats, they are well fed according to their schedule. While at other people’s homes I accommodate to the wants and needs of the clients as well as what their fur babies may need. For example, longer more frequent walks, or more playtime and attention.
“Jenna was very attentive with my dog and with taking in all of my instructions and notes about him. She sent me pictures and kept me updated throughout the day. Highly recommend as a sitter and will definitely book with her again should an opportunity come up again!”


“Jon was an absolute pleasure to work with. My vacation was so much more relaxing knowing that my dogs were in great hands. Jon house sat for me for several days and sent me a photo updates and text messages about my dogs periodically which were very nice to see. I will certainly be using Jon in the future as my dedicated to house/dog sitter! He met up with my dogs and I prior to our vacation and hit it off with them immediately, He was also able to provide daily medication and care for my 14-year-old dog.”
“Claudia was absolutely wonderful. My dogs are a bit of a handful, and she was so gracious and kind with them. She visited when she said she would, kept me up to date regularly, and again was very patient with my dogs. Would definitely ask her again in the future!”

“Kaitlyn sends daily photos of my pup Betti lounging, cuddling, and sunning. In other words, content. I had a stressful time getting home with several delayed flights and missed connections. Kaitlyn was understanding and supportive and stayed beyond the original booking time to ensure Betti was okay.”

About: I’ve lived with pets all my life, and I’m pretty relaxed and patient with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in the middle, I try to match their vibe and keep things comfortable for them — just like I do with my students. I can handle walks, feeding, and giving nervous pets time to warm up. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets get the care and attention they’re used to at home. My schedule is pretty flexible. I only teach in the evenings twice a week, so I have plenty of time during the day and on weekends to give pets steady attention, walks, playtime, and care that matches their normal routine. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment building with strong security and controlled access. I keep a calm, organized environment and follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I always pay attention to details and make sure pets are never put in unsafe situations.
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 veterinary care after my undergraduate at JcTc to preserve the care of animals in 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.
“Emily was amazing. She watched our dogs all day while we were busy with holiday plans. She sent lots of pictures and was so intentional around care. My dogs are a bit reactive and she did great catering to their quirks. She's super friendly, great at communicating and overall and excellent pet sitter for anyone's pets.”

“Anamarie was very thorough in her meet and greet and genuinely wanted to know all pertinent details she would need for the stay with our dogs. We were flooded with photos and videos of the dogs while we were away, just the way we like it. She was very respectful of our home and the fur kids loved her!! Will definitely be using her again!”

Rachel was awesome! We contacted her with very short notice and she was so kind and accommodating to meet our schedule! She was also incredible with our big girl! She was extremely communicative and let us know when medicine was given and sent a lot of cute videos and pictures. Elwood felt comfortable with her instantly and it was such a piece of mind to have Rachel stay with us. It would be a pleasure to have Rachael dog sit for us again!
