About: I've been caring for pets for over 8 years through family, friends, and by helping manage my sister's Rover clients. During that time, I've gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and care needs. One of my greatest strengths is working with senior pets. I helped care for and train my own dogs throughout their lives, including into their senior years at ages 15 and 17. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring health, and providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for pets that require intensive monitoring and strict medication schedules. I understand how important consistency is when a pet has medical, age-related, or special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications as directed, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I've assisted with dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, specialized care, or simply a calm and caring presence, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind during your time away. I am currently in graduate school, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I am only in class for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. In addition to my weekday availability, I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows me to take on weekend house sitting, extended stays, and more flexible scheduling needs without conflict. Overall, my routine makes it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to pets during both weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am experienced with house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I approach each service with the same level of responsibility and care. I make sure doors are secured, leashes are always used properly on walks, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice any changes or concerns. In addition, I respect my clients’ homes and treat them with care and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is to provide peace of mind by creating a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: With over 7 years of hands, on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a gentler touch. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, or administering medication, I prioritize safety, comfort, and communication. My goal is to ensure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me for reliable, professional, and compassionate care every time. I offer flexible availability throughout the week to meet you and your pet’s needs! Here’s a general outline of my schedule: • Weekdays (Mon–Fri): Available for drop ins, walks, and house sitting from 5 AM – 8 PM. Morning, midday, and evening visits can be arranged to suit your routine. • Weekends (Sat–Sun): Open availability, perfect for weekend getaways or last minute plans! I’m happy to accommodate longer stays and multiple visits. Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every pet I care for like one of my own, with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love. • Trust & Communication: I believe in open and clear communication. I’ll always keep you updated with messages, photos, and honest check-ins, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. • Safe & Calm Environment: Whether I’m walking your dog, stopping by for a visit, or house-sitting, I maintain a calm, positive environment tailored to your pet’s personality and needs. I follow all your care instructions carefully and ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and well-loved at all times. • Reliable & Responsible Care: I’m punctual, dependable, and respectful of your home and routines. I know how important it is to have someone you can count on when you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. Every pet is different and I’m here to provide personalized care that makes both you and your furry friend feel totally at ease.

About: I have grown up with dogs in the house my whole life. I am especially comfortable taking care of older and senior dogs and adapting to their needs (ex. blind/deaf) and have lived with small to medium breeds. However, I am also experienced with taking care of younger and larger breeds (ex. 1 year old English Labs). I have recently graduated from my undergraduate program, and have plenty of free time while looking for full-time employment. I do have a daughter, which may limit certain appointment times but should be flexible as I do have relatives to help, should I need to check on your pets. Experienced with young and elderly dogs, I am always sure to keep an eye on them when they are outside to prevent any escape or injury, regardless of a fence. If needed, I can also sit with special animals on a schedule, to ensure they go to sleep after meals or a walk.

“Sarah was great! She was prompt in her communication and got in a good distance for the walk. I’m sure Mo had a great time! Will be a repeat!”

“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”

“Morgan is absolutely the best pet sitter! I had my daughter’s wedding and was able to relax and focus on other things because she was so dependable, reliable, and so caring and genuine. Thank you again so much for loving Marley! He already misses you!”

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 currently an architecture college student studying at UK! I have busy schedule on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but I have a pretty open after 11am on Thursdays and before noon + after 6pm on Fridays. Additionally, I am free every week day after 6pm and all weekends! I will not be able to care for pups in my home. I live in an university dorm and currently training a service dog in training for 4Paws.

“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 did a great job walking our dog and provided ample updates—He also gave our cat some treats and provided a picture update of her as well! We will use Jeff again”

“Kara is a joy and a gift! She is reliable, coompetent, and confident with my quirky hounds and it’s obvious that she deeply respects the importance of communication and making sure I’m in the loop on all the details of the visit whether drop ins or walks!”

About: ‼️I TAKE VENMO/CASHAPP TO AVOID ROVER FEES‼️ I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments for many years, helping neighbors, friends, and family with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I am comfortable handling energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals that need extra patience and attention. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I plan my day around the pets I care for so they receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I am also able to accommodate early morning, evening, and last-minute requests when needed. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals are always supervised and treated like part of the family. I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines to keep pets comfortable. During walks and visits, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes, monitoring surroundings, and giving pets the patience and care they deserve.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.

“Arrived early for scheduled walk and walked Buddy for desired time and gave me a nice photo of him on his walk. Definitely recommend rebooking”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, and livestock. Before joining Rover, I personally cared for over 80 different pets, gaining experience with many personalities, routines, and care needs. As a certified veterinary assistant with over 400 hours of clinical experience, I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and caring for senior or special-needs animals. I’ve worked with young animals, seniors, anxious pets, and high-energy pets, and I always tailor my care to each animal. What sets me apart is my combination of real veterinary knowledge and proven, multi-species pet-sitting experience. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to give pet owners complete peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. As a freshman at the University of Kentucky studying Animal Science, I’m organized with my time and have my own transportation, allowing me to provide reliable and flexible care. I’m available for before-class visits, midday check-ins, and afternoon, evening, and bedtime care. I’m used to balancing school with animal care and make sure every pet receives attentive, dependable care at each visit. Keeping pets on their normal routine is a priority for me, and I always plan around feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and quality time so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets by focusing on their comfort, routine, and individual needs, whether they are in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to learn each animal’s preferences, energy level, and daily schedule so they feel safe and settled. In a client’s home, I maintain their normal routine, provide feeding, exercise, enrichment, and companionship, and keep the space clean and respected. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency, especially those who may be shy, anxious, or need extra reassurance. When pets are in my home, I provide a calm, supervised environment with structured routines, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one care. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort so pets feel relaxed and cared for, just like they would at home.

About: I have had a dog from the time I was 12 until I was 22! I know how to take care of all ages, from puppies to our beloved senior doggies. I’m in search for my new study buddy to keep me company while I do my flash cards! I am currently in medical school, and my class schedule is predictable but flexible. With a low amount of required activities, I am available to spend more time with your babies! I usually study from home, which means we can both keep each-other company :) I have experience in dog sitting and house sitting. I will be more than happy to spend as much time as possible in your home so that your pets stay on as normal of a routine as possible. I care for pets like I care for my patients- with love, responsibility, and devotion!

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when I’m around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we can’t be outside I’ll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course there’s snuggle time together until they’re ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.
