About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old! Between looking after my own dog and my family's, I have the experience and love to make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve! I'm a middle school teacher in the Louisville area, so weekends are the best for house sitting and longer watching periods! During the weekday afternoons, I would love to help check in, play with your pup, or give them a nice long walk! Communication is the most important thing. I will always follow the wishes of the owner to make sure your pets are cared for in the most consistent way possible. Your boundaries are mine, and I always act in the best interest of you and your pets!

About: Hello! I love looking after family and friend’s pets and would love the chance to do it more often. I’m responsible and caring and I will take very good care of your pets. Hi! I’m a flight attendant on reserve, which basically means I’m on call. So I’ll know a head of time the days I’m off for the following month. The days I’m call, I’ll usually be at home waiting around, so I’ll still be free to do pop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. I will walk them frequently. I will also make sure they are well taken care of and loved until they are back with you.

“Ciara is great with our 8 month old goldendoodle! She is always on time for his walks while we're at work and always gives us great feedback with the Rover cards. I would highly recommend her!”

“Maggie is the best person to care for your animals! She is dependable, flexible, and so good with them- I love that she spent dogsitting time playing “beauty shop” to groom my girls up a little. Would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet caretaker 😊😊”

About: I've been surrounded by critters since I was a little girl - from fish to foster puppies, reptiles, rats, bunnies, dogs, cats, and everything in between. Basically, you name it, I've hugged it. In the past year, I've started dog sitting regularly for several families in my hometown of Louisville, as well as in South Hadley, where I go to school. I love spending time with animals and look forward to getting to know yours! I'm a student in Richmond for the summer with a flexible schedule - I have plenty of free time all day, every day, and would love to spend my free time with your critters! I know all pets have unique needs, and am always willing to adhere to what you feel is best - whether that means six walks a day, regular litter box cleanings, or three-hour playtimes. I will always leave your house clean and make sure that your pet has all of their needs (and more) taken care of.

“Madi was able to meet our dog's needs for a very last minute situation. Our dog really enjoyed her walks! We appreciate Madi's kindness to work with our dog.”

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.

“Jen is not only the best, most reliable dog walker we have ever used, but also the most trustworthy person we've ever employed to do any kind of work in our household. It helps immensely that she is both energetic and calming. Our rambunctious big boy retriever is always super mellow after each outing with Jen. I wish we'd known of her several dogs ago!”

Mary W.

“Excellent. More pictures please 😊”

“Sam was great! She was able to help me out in a pinch. She was prompt and informative. She requested instructions and followed them perfectly. And Korben obviously loved her too!”

Kristen H.

“Very relaxed meet and greet that showed a lot of competence and skills to adapt. Glad she'll be our walker for a while :)”

About: I absolutely love animals and have my whole life. I just know my last words are going to be "pst pst...come here buddy" as I walk up to a big cat or something. I have had pets ever since I was little and have always considered them apart of my family. I have experience with the care of cats & dogs and I would be delighted to care for your fur baby! Currently this is my full time gig, so I am available for walks and check ins all through the day. I can also do overnight stays with your fur baby (in your home only). I am available to take walk doggos during the day/evening and even do some check ins to make sure they have all they need. Overnights will be in your home so your fur baby is in a familiar environment that they are comfy in.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 12 years old and have experience with a wide variety of pets. From raising and training two puppies alongside my sister when I was younger, to caring for horses, cats (both indoor and outdoor), a ferret, a turtle, and even nurturing a wild rabbit from infancy — animals have always been a meaningful part of my life. I’m a true animal lover and take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care. I am comfortable administering medications when needed and understand how important it is to follow routines and instructions closely. When your pets are with me, you can expect regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel confident they are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work part-time (typically 2–3 days per week), which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be readily available for pet care. Feel free to message me about availability — I’m happy to work with your needs whenever possible. My home environment is safe, clean, and pet-friendly, with no accessible hazards or toxic items. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with patience, affection, and dependable care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time, typically 2–3 days per week, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I plan my day around their needs — including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship — to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Because I have availability throughout the week, I’m able to accommodate a variety of care types and adjust my routine as needed to match each pet’s schedule. Providing attentive, reliable care is something I take seriously, and I make sure pets are never treated as an afterthought but as an important part of my day. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in theirs. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding schedules, exercise, and behavioral expectations to ensure consistency and comfort for the pet. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space free of accessible hazards or toxic materials. Pets are welcome on furniture as part of a relaxed and loving environment; however, if they are currently being trained not to use furniture, I will fully respect and continue reinforcing that training while they are in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain the pet’s established routine to minimize stress. I focus on attentive supervision, safe handling, and plenty of affection and engagement so pets feel secure and comfortable. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and videos for peace of mind throughout the stay.

About: My wife and I have been married over 20 years and 17 of those have been with multiple dogs in our house. We are dog-less at the moment, but would love to give your dog the love we have all of ours for so many years. I work full time from home and my wife is a professor, so we have a lot of time at home. Our son is 2, and absolutely adores dogs Whatever the owner needs us to do for the dog, we are happy to. Snuggles, walks, potty and regular feeding schedule is always on the docket

About: Taking care of pets is not just a responsibility—it’s my passion! Whether it’s long walks, fun playtime, or lots of cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a hybrid work schedule that lets me work remotely half the week. On the days I go into the office, typically Monday through Wednesday, I can easily return home during lunch since my office is just a few minutes away. I have a cozy home with a fenced-in patio and it’s located just minutes away from several beautiful parks. At home, I share my space with my sweet cat, Nagini. If needed, I’m happy to keep your pet comfortably separate to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease.
