“I used Rover for the first time this week! I had a dog sitter cancel (not on here) on me and I was already on my way out of town. Amanda took us on without any issues! I can’t give a rave enough review to how amazing she was. She thoroughly communicated, took pics and videos, and kept me updated! Jimmie was beyond happy with his care! I hope to use Amanda as much as possible in the future ❤️ I’ve never had such a stellar dog sitting experience!”


“Brittney took great care of my high energy Belgian malinois! She was very accepting and already knowledgeable on any instructions I had for her. I trust her completely with my dog and my home!”


“Andru, took really good care of my cat Ollie. He gets very upset when I leave and is not afraid to show it, but Andru was super patient with him and won him over as much as an angry cat can be lol. All of Ollie’s needs were taken care of and I came home to a happy, healthy cat. Will definitely book with Andru again.”


“I love the detailed daily notes Kelsey made. She showed up on time, followed all my requests and then went above & beyond to care for Tucker. I definitely plan on requesting her for future bookings. Thanks, Kelsey!”


“Thank you so much, Korithian for taking such excellent care of our fur babies last weekend. The pictures were so cute and my husband and I enjoyed seeing that they were happy to remain in their routines even in our absence. The care was just as good as we could provide, so thanks for treating our pups (and us) like family! I absolutely loved getting to meet Korinthian before we left and would be happy to act as a referral for her, should she ever need that in the future.”


“Being new to Kentucky - we didn't have our foundation of friends who could cat-sit for us whenever we needed. It was very daunting to try and find a completely new sitter who was kind and trustworthy. We nervously got on Rover and saw so many great profiles, but something about Madeline stuck with us. Since then - Madeline has watched our picky, stinky, and needy cat, Extra Gravy, twice now and we're pretty sure he likes Madeline more than us now! We feel so at ease knowing that Extra Gravy is in good hands and being taken care by the best possible! Whenever we take a trip or have something come up - we'll always book with Madeline! Rest assured, your furry family are safe, cared for, and getting love and attention when with this kind and calm sitter! 10/10!”


“Megan took care of our two cats and our fish while we were away for two weeks. She stayed in communication with us about anything that was happening at the house and even went out of her way to take care of a malfunctioning alarm at the house. I loved having her here to watch over things and will definitely choose her and her family again in the future!”


“Jorie was amazing!! She came over prior to sitting so that she could meet my dogs. She was always timely and treated my dogs so well!! They are German shepherds and she seemed so comfortable with them even though they are gigantic and high energy. Will definitely be using Jorie’s services again in the future!”


“Courtney is the absolute best! She took such great care of my pet. She spent so much time giving her cuddles and long walks and sent so many photos that helped ease my mind about being away. I am so happy I found Courtney and trust her completely with my dog.”


About: I grew up in an animal-friendly household among big dogs, small dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, lizards, ferrets, you name it! I have experience with animals of all ages, abilities, and temperaments and strive to do what I can to keep them happy and comfortable! I am a full time college student pursuing music, so I will have the occasional concert that makes me unavailable, but I often have the weekend free or evenings/nights/early mornings. I definitely strive to leave everything in a client’s home just as I left it, besides a happy and/or well-fed dog, cat, or other furry or scaly creature. As long as I know where to locate the food, bowls, leash/harness, and/or backyard I’m good!

“We had a wonderful experience with Isaac! He watched our three dogs—Cadance, Roman, and Roxi—and took excellent care of all of them. Cadance can be quite the handful (she’s our spoiled little diva), but Isaac was incredibly patient, kind, and professional the entire time. He dropped in twice a day to let them out and made sure they were fed breakfast and dinner. We also really appreciated the daily pictures he sent—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear he truly loves animals and knows how to handle different personalities. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such great hands. Highly recommend Isaac to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”


About: Ive taken car of, raised, and trained dogs my entire life. Ive always had a knack for it, and i love it. I’ve administered and given more medications than i can count. Ive dealt with dogs in heat, dogs after surgery. You name it, I've learned my way through it. Let me take care of and love on your babies. And of COURSE they can sleep with me 🫶🏼 Im working from home Monday-Friday 9-5 and can maximize time with your animals! I can do any weekend you may need, for check ins, walks, or consistent care. Nightly care is optional through the week, as are walks and check ins. I have a no fence yard. I would be walking them when they need to go potty. If you prefer crates, please bring one. Dogs are allowed to roam free in the home all day, and allowed on furniture. Will only keep dogs overnight in my home but can do check ins for yours!

“Jolianna took good care of my girls. They seemed very appreciative of the time and affection she showed them. I expected anarchy when I came back, but it wasn’t too bad. I would definitely hire her again.”


About: As a dog owner, I know how challenging it can be to find reliable, quality, trustworthy care, and I promise to be just that! I've had and loved dogs my entire life. In our house, our pups are like family and yours will be welcomed with open arms. In addition to my two, I also foster for The KY Humane Society which has given me plenty of experience with puppies, senior dogs, giving meds and tending to your pups every need. Your dog will be cared for like one of our own! I work from home so your pup will very rarely be alone. If your dog has separation anxiety, then I am the perfect sitter for you! Our current feeding schedule is 8:00 and 6, so please let me know if your pup needs a different schedule. Unfortunately, I am not able to accommodate free feeding, so your pup will be on a feeding schedule while they are in my care. I require meet and greets for any new clients. I want to meet you and your pup(s) and I want you to meet mine. Even if you have the friendliest dog, not all dogs will vibe, so this step is important. **Meet and greets can be waived for dogs under 6 months but am happy to have one if that is your preference. We have a large, fenced in back yard as well as live in a safe, quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood. In our house, there is no furniture off limits. Your pups will be welcome to sleep on the bed, on the couch, or on the floor. If you prefer your dog crated at night, we can do that too! My house is set up to host dogs in the safest way possible. This includes multiple safety gates for feeding times or some alone time for your pup to chew on bones or toys. I will accompany your dog(s) on any potty breaks outside that include my dogs. My dogs are also crated when I leave to ensure everyone's safety. Both of my girls are vaccinated to boarding standards and I would prefer yours be too! This helps to keep all our pups safe! **I am happy to provide their vaccination records upon request. If you have additional concerns, please let me know and we can discuss.

I have one cat at home whose litter box I regularly clean and who I regularly feed. I have my own car, so I am able to freely travel to and from your house, and I am able to stay at your house if necessary.
