“This was our first time booking Zachary to come drop in on our cats while we were gone for a week, and we could not be more pleased with his services! Although our set up is very simple because we have automatic feeders and a water fountain, he went above and beyond by spending time and playing with our cats. He left detailed updates on how they were doing, and you could tell that he was very attuned to their personalities and quirks. We felt so at ease while we were away because we could tell the cats were getting alot of attention and care. We will definitely use Zachary in the future!!”

“On time, quality care, under budget - what's not to like? Jamie obviously liked the cats and the cats obviously liked her! This was one vacation where the well being of my pets was the least of my worries. Will definitely book with her again.”

“Beth was amazing! Her communication was great and she was very responsive. She made sure so send pictures everyday and communicate any issues with me. I highly recommend! My mind was definitely at ease knowing my cat’s care was in her hands! :)”

About: I love pets! I have had dogs and cats since I was little and have always enjoyed sitting for my family and friends. I know how hard it is to leave your pet and how important it is to know they’re in good hands! I currently have very open availability. I can come by for a quick visit and walk or stay overnight at your home to care for your pets. When caring for your pets I want to make sure I am giving them the best treatment, so I always like to know what the owner would prefer! I am quick to responding to messages and will send you photos of your pets as well. I love to snuggle and play with your furry ones!
About: I’ve been watching dogs since I was about 8, I’ve been responsible for bathing, giving medicine and making sure they are well loved while owners are away. I specifically love the ability to care for the furry ones you love when you cannot devote the time needed or wanted for them! I am currently a senior in high school as well as a soccer player, I can absolutely do anywhere from 1-6 pm and some early mornings I have a Malshi (Maltese shihtzu mix) he plays mostly In our backyard as well as with my neighbors German Shepard, we live on a 1 acre plot.
“Logan was great to work with, flexible and patient while listening to my complicated instructions! She was very responsive every time I sent a message. She walked, played with, and cuddled my cat, and kept all 31 houseplants looking great over my extended vacation. Will definitely call her again. Thanks, Logan!”

“Marissa did a good job :) she completed all tasks whilst we were on a long vacation. She really saved us when our other Rover sitter cancelled last minute. She’s friendly, professional, kind, and good with pets.”

About: I have taken care of all different types of animals since I was a kid. I have alot if experience from young to old animals. As a school bus driver, I have a lot of free time during the middle of the day, evenings, weekends, and even during school breaks. This flexible schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for pets — whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, overnight stays, or extended play sessions. My work routine helps me stay organized and punctual, which translates well into consistent feeding times, walks, and medication schedules for your pets. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals and giving them the attention they need when their owners are away. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved — whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. When pets are in my home, I provide a quiet, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and a consistent routine to match what they’re used to. I keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I make sure they always have clean water, proper meals, and a cozy space to relax. When caring for pets in the client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and do my best to keep the pet’s routine consistent — whether it’s feeding times, walks, potty breaks, or medications. I treat your home with the utmost respect, and I always communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Audrey was so helpful with our fur babies!! Very thorough, kind and communicative. We’ve got elderly pets, so there’s feeding and medication specifications and she handled them so well and gave us wonderful updates. Highly recommend!!”

“Tiffany did an outstanding job with our cats and house. She provided daily updates and pictures, and very provided very prompt responses whenever I texted or called. We would have her watch over our house and cats without any hesitation.”
About: I’ve had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, I became obsessed with reading about different dog breeds and their needs. My first job actually working with pets was a dog daycare. I loved building connections with the pups and their parents. At this job, I learned defensive handling skills (how to avoid or break up fights or attacks) and how to handle reactive, scared, and stubborn dogs. I work shorter hours on weekends so I’m able to make plenty of time for your baby, plus my wife is always home and will occasionally help care for your pet when I’m not around. I like to have group play or just time outside when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings. I have a fenced backyard that I check for holes daily and an open front yard (leashes at all times out front). I’m able to crate your dog at anytime they might need it and can even have them in a separate room if crates aren’t their thing. Another bonus is that my wife is home just about full time and is able to care for your pet when I’m not around. If I’m at your house, I will take your dog outside on a leash the first few times just to see how they are and to make sure they aren’t an escape artist once mom/dad is gone
“Haley did an awesome job with my two cats. She was prompt and went above and beyond with feeding and cleaning up after them while I was away. She was also able to accommodate a schedule change due to travel issues. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“He was absolutely great with butterscotch. It's the 1st time since adopting her that I've been away from her. But he was great with her and took great care of her. I recommend him sitting for your pet at any extended days . She was great with him got along great together.”
“Liz was an absolute pleasure!! Our fur babies had no problems with her at all and even got our dog to eat her food(she never eats while we are away). Thank you so much for an amazing experience Liz💜”

“Alyssa was amazing with my cats! They are usually super scared of others and they didn't run off and hide, so that is saying a lot! Very attentive and thorough, daily updates with photos and communication. Will hire again for sure!”

About: I have loved and cared for pets since I was a little girl. Growing up we had 2 dogs and 1 cat that I spent all my time with. I now have 2 dogs and 6 cats of my own that i love and care for everyday. I have good experience with senior dogs as one of mine is 12 years old. I treat every pet i meet as if they were my own and am a lover of all animals. I am currently working part time and take some classes for school through the week. my evenings are very open and most weekdays I have afternoons open as well. I always have time to love on as many fur babies as I can. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to the cats. They have some scratching posts, cat towers, and all their toys to play with, and we also have a catio connected to the window so they can hangout and play out there when they want to. I like to take the dogs on walks and play with them in our fenced in yard every day.
About: I grew up on a farm so I've always been around animals. At a very young age I started helping care for the animals which lead to me house sitting as well as walking them. I work 4 days a week and do this part time. I love spending time with my animals and love working taking care of them. We have a fenced in yard we have lots of toys for them to be entertained and well taken care of. And plenty treats for them to enjoy.
About: I have been a dog mom my whole life and many of my friends think I’m crazy for how much I love my pup. I think it’s just enough! I have a border collie/lab mix who is high energy. I have taught him many tricks and how to be the best boy! I have also pet sat for my friends for many years- dogs and cats. I love every animal like it’s my own and none of them are strangers to me. I throw my dog birthday parties, we’ve had professional pictures together, and you name it. I don’t have children, so my dog is my whole life. I will talk to your pet in an obnoxious baby voice and tell them I love them the second I meet them! :) I am a real estate agent- so time is definitely flexible! I will need a little bit of a heads up before to make sure I don’t have an appointment, but going into strangers houses is literally what I do for a job. AND the best part of being a real estate agent is when their pets are home for showings! I live in Frankfort, but work from Lafayette. My profile says Frankfort- but Lafayette is where I spend most of my time! I currently don’t have a fenced in yard for my dog- so we go on 2 walks a day and sometimes to the dog park. I am available for walks, dog park visits, just hanging out with your pet so they aren’t lonely, and anything else you need! I am also open to feeding/watering/crating
