“Nick is the best! Molly has never been left with a sitter, always boarded at kennels. This personal care was so reassuring. He sent pictures of Molly. She loved being there. Would give 10 stars if possible”
“We had a great experience with Nathalie! She was available on very short notice, which helped us out a lot. She took great care of our dog and kept everything smooth and stress-free while we were away. Nathalie also kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We’re looking forward to using her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Ryan and his family took such amazing care of my puppy! I knew that she was being loved on and treated like a part of the family. I couldn’t ask for a better experience for her or more piece of my mind knowing that my little girl was so well taken care of.”
“Ruby had a great stay at Courtney’s house! I got updates and pictures throughout the week. Courtney’s kids helped take care of Ruby and enjoyed having a pup in the house. I’m grateful Courtney was able to keep Ruby for us!”
“My little dog loved Katie and her family! They took excellent care of him during the Kentucky Fried Pickin event at the Holiday Inn in Owensboro. We feel very happy now that we have such a high quality place to board our dog during music events in Owensboro. We will definitely be booking with this wonderful family again!”
About: We have been pet owners for most of our lives. We currently have 2 cavalier King Charles dogs. We have been dog sitting for many years now and we love it. My husband and I are both retired now and have moved to Kentucky and are just starting to use the Rover platform. We stay and play not just let them out and then leave. We believe dogs get lonely too and need some extra attention when their people are away. We have a flexible schedule so we can come over as many times as you like or even spend the night with them. We also can have them come stay with us! Just ask for what you need to make sure you are comfortable knowing your pets are in great care while you can’t be there! My husband and I are both retired and love meeting new pet friends. We have owned dogs all our lives and have owned kitties in the past as well. Our animals are family member and treated as such. We have years of experience pet sitting and would love a chance to meet your fur babies We have a fenced in back yard and 2 doggies who love to play! We also have a nice neighborhood to take walks in too!! Since we are both retired we are home during the day so your babies would get loads of attention and time
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember and have about 15 years of hands on pet care experience. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities and energy levels. I have fostered dogs through It Takes a Village, including puppies, senior dogs, small breeds and large breeds, so I am comfortable caring for dogs with very different needs. I currently have several dogs of my own and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved and included while they are in my care. I work from home, which allows me to be around throughout the day and give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, supervision and companionship. I am able to provide a home environment where your dog does not have to spend the day alone. I can keep your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, crate time and plenty of cuddles. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with different personalities, ages, sizes and needs through both my own pets and fostering. I understand that every dog is different and I am happy to follow your instructions and routine. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime and affection while making sure pets have a calm and comfortable place to relax. I am also comfortable with crate trained dogs and can accommodate individual feeding and care instructions.
About: I have had animals ever since I was born. My grandma had a ranch in Wyoming, and I have owned my own pet since I was 8. I am available for boarding on weekends after 3. During the week I work full time, but am available to sit or walk in the evenings. I have a fenced in yard and a golden doodle and retriever. I also have my own crates so if your dog needs kenneled you don’t have to bring your own. I am available for in house sitting as well. I will send a ton of pictures so you know your fur baby is getting taken care of.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, and always had pets in my home! I am a huge huge animal lover! We currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 bearded dragons, chickens, ducks and rabbits. We love all animals! I have been a Stay at Home Mom since my girls were born. Now that they are older, I’m looking for new things to do that I enjoy, and can still be around for my family when they need me. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs run and play in, a detached garage with an attachment. Inside the attachment there is a couch, TV, AC, and heat, with plenty of room to run around and play! It makes a nice little hang out spot. We come out here to play and run around at times. There is also a security camera in the attachment as well. Dog must be potty trained, and good with other dogs and cats. Please be honest, so it won’t cause conflict while taking care of your baby and others. If we take care of larger dogs, they will stay in the attachment and not in the house.
“Emily did a great job taking care of our dogs. This was our first time leaving them for more than 1 night and I felt confident she was taking good care of them. I think they loved her fenced in back yard.”

About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, etc. We currently have two cats and one wild Australian shepherd! I work remotely full time and can do my job from anywhere with WiFi. I can generally be available for drop in visits or walks any time during the day. At my house, dogs are welcome to hang out on the furniture and sleep in bed with us (if they want!). We have a very large, securely fenced yard for plenty of outdoor playtime. We never leave our dog unattended outside and wouldn’t leave others, either. In your home I would try to keep routine and rules as close to as when you’re home together.
About: Farm grown! I have had closer friendships with more animals than people! I enjoy all types of dogs with all types of needs. I like to play fetch, go for runs/walks, rough and tumble, training, petting, beach and just about any activity a dog likes. Whether you have a pup that needs more exercise or one that just needs some love. I am a veteran, a forever student and a dad. I exercise outside daily regardless of the weather. Might as well bring a friend and make it fun! I am flexible and will provide the type of environment the client requests! I never privoke or push a pet outside of their comfort zone. I see them as children, and will protect them like my own.
“Nathalie was amazing! She was so warm and kind and made my shy Frankie at ease. Great communication, and she took him on a walk which was super nice. Will definitely rebook with Nathalie if back in town!”

About: Our Household includes two dogs—a German Shepherd and a Border Collie—both of whom are fully crate trained and brushed once or twice daily. Each dog has completed manners and behavioral training through Liberty K9, demonstrating consistent obedience, stable temperament, and strong social skills. Both dogs are friendly, non‑aggressive, and interact exceptionally well with children. Experienced in administering oral medications, eye drops, and specialized meals for dogs with sensitive stomachs. Their daily care routine is structured, consistent, and tailored to support their health, comfort, and behavior. As a family with a two-year-old, my husband and I rotate our schedules so that one of us is home throughout the week. Our dogs accompany us whenever we go outside to play in the backyard, ensuring they receive regular exercise and supervised outdoor time. They are brushed once or twice daily during shedding periods, and we clean their paws each time they come back inside to maintain hygiene and comfort. We have two friendly, well‑behaved dogs and a child who is almost two years old in our home. Both dogs are fully crate trained and potty trained. Our fenced‑in backyard provides a safe, spacious area where animals can run and play freely without needing a leash. We have an extra crate available if you prefer your dog to be crated, and we are equally comfortable accommodating
