Addy has been great with our dog. She comes on schedule and is very responsive. Our dog does not like to be put back into his crate and Addy says she takes great care to guide him back in which we are greatful for (esp when he is being stubborn). Thanks!

Jeff was seriously amazing with our dogs while we were away for 5 days. We have two big, energetic golden retrievers that can definitely be a lot sometimes, and he handled them really well. He came by three times a day, took them on great walks, gave them lots of attention, and just genuinely cared about them. He started out walking them one at a time, but once our pups became a bit more familiar he did both at once like a superstar! What we really appreciated was how communicative and flexible he was the whole time. He always kept us updated (with lots of photos!), was super easy to work with, and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were gone. Our dogs absolutely loved him, and we came home to two very happy dogs and everything in great shape. We’d 100% trust Jeff to watch them again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, honest, and really good with dogs.

About: I've been a lover of animals all my life and have worked with service dogs in training. I will treat animals as if they are my own! I am a arch college student with weekends and Tuesdays free. Depending on the intended times, I could be available on other days as well! I will not be able to care for pups in my home. I live in a dorm on campus and it would be very tricky to sit them while having classes.

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!).

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have experience with reactive dogs, administering medications (including insulin, flea/tick treatments, and other medications), and adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I’m currently home full-time with a flexible schedule, so I’m ready to give your pet plenty of attention, walks, playtime, or cuddles—whatever makes them happiest! Since I don’t currently have pets in my home, I can comfortably accommodate both energetic and relaxed animals. I’m also happy to follow special requests like dog park visits, special diets, medication schedules, or specific routines to help your pet feel safe and comfortable. I truly love doing this and can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently have full-time availability and a very flexible schedule to fit your pet’s needs! I’m happy to provide care in your home or board pets in mine, whichever works best for you and your furry friend. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, cuddles, walks, or simply some extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m reliable, flexible, and excited to meet both you and your pets! I have a yard with plenty of space to explore, along with easy access to dog parks and large green spaces for extra exercise and adventure. I’m happy to take your furry friends wherever they need to go — whether that’s walks, park trips, or just getting out for fresh air. I love incorporating pets into my daily life by bringing them along for errands, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel included and comfortable (if they enjoy that kind of thing, of course). I can easily crate your dog if needed, or they’re welcome to freely relax and explore in a safe, supervised environment. My goal is always to make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been pet sitting for 5 years and my friends, family and neighbors all have trusted me to take care of their pets for years. I have experience in basic obedience training with young dogs. I have trained my 2 dogs and have done some work with other puppies. I have experience with administrating medicine to senior animals. I also have experience with reptiles, I used to be a pet keeper at a pet store and picked up many useful skills during that time. I am currently working part time. Shifts are about 4 to 7 hours long but only 3 days a week. Daily walks are no problem, I can fit that into my daily schedule. I usually like to discuss with the clients that have booked with me about my schedule for that week. I usually do not house pets in my home due to the fact that we have many animals and things can get difficult. In a client's home I usually follow the instructions that I am provided for the pets diet and routine. I love playing and spending time with all my clients animals!

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve had a cat for the last 8 years and I have had a dog for almost 2 years. I have experience giving cats and dogs medication as well as cleaning up after them. I love using Rover and wanted to return the favor. I work full time but I work from home two days a week and I’m available most weekends. I also tend to be available during some holidays. I have a puppy who loves new friends and is good with every dog he has met so far. I have a park right behind my house so it is easy to give your dog some exercise. If I’m in your home I’ll be sure to stick to your rules.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have dogsit, catsit, and looked after rodents. I have worked with equines and other livestock since I was 10. I am comfortable around most animals, even those with quirks. I am familiar with distributing oral medications, portioning food, cleaning up after pets, and providing enrichment while owners are away. I am also familiar with the basics of training dogs. I am comfortable with, have experience with, and am willing to become familiar with any pets that may be aggressive or pushy, though I would require a few meetings before being left alone with them. Its important to me that owners are consistently in the loop regarding the care and attention their pets are recieving when they arent around. Im more than willing to answer any additional questions regarding my experience! Over the summer I am working part time as a waitress. My schedule is fairly flexible and Im willing to be accomodating as long as owners reciprocate. I have a valid drivers liscence and clean record however dont always have access to a car. I will be living at home during the summer and cannot board/bring animals back to my house as my Dad is severely allergic to all animals. Im always respectful of clients spaces and try my best to keep everything clean and orderly along with ensuring that the pets are comfortable with me being in their space. I am punctual and will give proper portions of foods/ medications, provide enrichment/play for the animals if they wish to engage, take them on walks, and reinforce any potential training needs.

About: I have grown up with dogs since I was a kid. I have watched other breeds and know all the important aspects of caring for a dog! My family loves to adopt rescues so I am equipped for whatever the dog needs! I work part time during the morning-afternoon of some days of the week. I am available in the evenings! I am also available in the morning-afternoon on the days I do not work! My schedule is very flexible, I update and confirm my calendar daily. I provide ultimate care and support whether in my home or the client’s home. I cater to the dog’s needs and make sure they have all of the resources they need. I have had dogs since I was a child so I have many years of experience.

About: Hi there! What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and hands-on training with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve been around dogs since I was one year old, so caring for them truly comes naturally to me. In college, I was a primary handler for 4 Paws for Ability, where I helped raise and train service dogs. That experience gave me strong skills in puppy training, consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding canine behavior. I’m comfortable working with young dogs who are still learning, as well as maintaining structure and routines that help them succeed. I also had a dog of my own during college, so I understand firsthand the responsibility, patience, and love that goes into daily care. Whether it’s energetic puppies who need guidance and exercise or older dogs who need a gentler pace and extra attention, I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time, with some mornings at my internship and some evenings as a bartender at the Bourbon Club. Because my schedule varies, I have a good amount of flexibility and can adjust my hours to accommodate pet care needs. This flexibility allows me to plan my days around walks, drop-ins, feedings, and quality time with pets. I’m committed to making sure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care, and I’m able to move my schedule around when needed to ensure they come first. I provide a calm, safe, and nurturing environment for every pet in my care—whether in my home or my client’s home. I am naturally calm and collected around animals, which helps them feel secure and comfortable. I use a gentle, soft-spoken tone to build trust and reassure pets, especially those who may be shy or anxious. I love staying active with dogs and enjoy long walks, often covering a few miles to help them burn off energy in a healthy and positive way. My goal is always to ensure pets feel loved, exercised, and well cared for while maintaining a safe and structured environment.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, which helped me develop my love and passion for caring for pets as an integral part of our family. Over the past few years, I have lived with my roommate’s pets while being away at college. I take on their daily responsibilities such as feeding, walking, and making sure they feel safe and cared for when my roommates need assistance on a daily basis. In addition, I have babysitting experience that has often included caring for pets alongside children, reinforcing my ability to multitask and create a nurturing environment. I’m currently a senior at the University of Kentucky and have plenty of time to care for your pets with my minimal course load. I am flexible with hours and can be on call week and weekends! I have a small yard and sidewalk to be able to take proper outdoor care of your pets. I will be able to crate your dog as needed and live with another small dog to keep your dog company!

We had a pet sitting emergency and needed someone to come by three times in one day. Joy was great with our pups. I was happy to see that her own dog, Copper, is an Australian Cattle Dog, so she understands demanding herding breeds like ours. Our guys were really well cared for and we returned home to find everything in order. Joy is easy to communicate with. She came to meet them in advance and was receptive to what we wanted.
