“Absolutely wonderful experience!! Panda was well taken care of and I received photos of her daily along with updates. Gabrielle was very understanding about panda being old and not using the potty pads like she does at home the first couple days while she was there. I’m so glad to have found Gabrielle and her family to watch panda for us when we are away. Thanks so much!!!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I give every pet the attention they deserve. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to treat every pet like they are my own and provide owners with peace of mind while they are away. I can work most of the time and have a very flexible schedule, especially during the weeks before I leave for college this fall. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, including feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I am reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and affection while they are with me. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special care requests. I maintain a clean and secure environment, monitor pets closely during walks and playtime, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners by providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care.
“We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She took great care of our dog for an entire week and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and quick responses whenever we had questions. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Miller had the best time! Highly recommend Sean and his services. He gives updates and a peace of mind while you’re away! He truly enjoys spending time with your furry friends!”
“Great experience with Daniel and his family. Leia, my dog, is extremely energetic, and she got along well with Diesel and was able to get plenty of play time outside. When I picked her up, she was well exercised, which is always a relief! I hope to leave Leia with Daniel again.”

“Lilli was great communicating with us regarding Penny.

About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life - from my own, family, friends, and new clients. I love getting to know eat cat I take care of and seeing different personalities among all of them. I can give medicine, deep-clean litter boxes, scoop out litter boxes, give wet and dry food, check in, stay overnight, et. cetera
About: I have been caring for animals for 8 years plus counting and it's by far my favorite kind of job. I'm very comfortable with reactive dogs and can use my training to help better understand their behaviors. I have experience with senior dogs and post surgery care. I am comfortable with pet medication and administering when needed for pets. I'm currently working part-time, so my time is very open. I'm available anytime after 1pm during the weekdays and anytime after 12pm during the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and live near a park with trails. I also have 2 crates, a small and large one, if your baby prefers to have their own space. Lots and lots of toys for heavy chewers.
About: “I understand that cats require a special kind of care, different from any other pet. It’s not just about feeding or cleaning the litter box, but about respecting their unique personality and helping them feel safe and comfortable in their own space. What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience and attention to detail: I pay close attention to their routines, signals, and preferences, offering companionship without intrusion and affection when they seek it. Every cat receives personalized care, full of respect and love — as if they were my own.”
About: i am a reliable and trustworthy individual who will provide exceptional care and attention to your pets when you’re away. i’ve taken care of dogs since i was little and have always loved them.

About: I grew up with dogs in my home for 24 years. Both puppies and seniors. I love all breeds and sizes. All dogs are adorable!

About: My name is Allie, and I’m a 28 year old ER nurse of 6 years who is also an RN (and may or may not have missed my calling as a vet haha). Don’t get me wrong, I love caring for humans, but my real passion lies in caring for animals. I’m taking a break in between travel nursing jobs, and decided what to devote my time than caring for and loving on your furry family member! I am offering all services from dog walking, house visits, house sitting at your house, and am even open to accepting cats! I have two mini golden doodles of my own that I care for, but no worries- they would not need to be brought over to your space for any reason. I have experience working in pet stores throughout college, and also grew up caring for our family’s dogs from a young age! I have experience administering medicine for epileptic animals as one of my dogs at home has seizures. Feel free to ask me for my phone number. I can’t wait to get the opportunity to help you out with your fur babies!! I am taking a couple months off of work so I have a very open schedule to fit all your animal needs! When I go back to work I only work 3 days a week, so I will still have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I respect your home environment and ensure that I leave your home in the exact condition I found it in. I will also ensure the safety of your home in terms of locking doors, enabling security cameras/alarms, etc.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, I worked as a veterinary receptionist, where I learned how to recognize signs of illness, communicate with pet owners, and help support pets with a variety of medical needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering many common medications, and providing updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide patient, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I would be willing to watch your dog in my home that I share with my wife, Mellisa and sons Nate, 14 and Nolan, 12 and our 10 year old cat, Mango. We have owned pups for most of our lives We live on an acre in a dog friendly neighborhood in La Grange. If you would like to discuss the possibility of you hosting your dog with our family... send me a message. Mellisa currently works from home and I have a very flexible schedule as well. Therefore, we will be able to tend to the needs of your fur baby. I have two children who love animals and will be right there playing and walking with your pet. We also have a crate available if needed.
“Sean took great care of our pup. The dog didn't go crazy when we came to pick him up which tells me he was very content. To the point he didn't want to stay in the car when we started to leave. lol. We will definitely return.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently care for a multi-dog household of my own, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From high-energy breeds that need structure and exercise to older dogs who just want a calm, predictable environment—I adjust my care to fit what your dog actually needs. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, crate training, basic commands, and monitoring group dynamics to keep things safe and stress-free. I’m especially mindful when introducing dogs, supervising play, and making sure everyone gets attention without things becoming chaotic or overwhelming. I’m also used to keeping a close eye on behavior and health—changes in appetite, energy, or mood don’t go unnoticed. If something seems off, I catch it early and communicate right away. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own: safe, structured, and well cared for… with a little extra spoiling mixed in. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be known, understood, and genuinely cared about while they’re with me. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to build my day around the dogs in my care—not the other way around. I’m able to accommodate a variety of routines, including specific feeding schedules, medication timing, crate needs, or just extra attention for dogs who need it. Structured potty breaks are offered at least every 2 hours, and I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent supervision, interaction, care and additional breaks if needed. Whether your dog thrives on structure or needs a little extra flexibility, I can adjust to what works best for them to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. All care is provided in my home, where I keep things calm, structured, and closely supervised. Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs are not left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to actively monitor behavior, play, and overall well-being. I’m very intentional about safety—introductions are done slowly and thoughtfully, and I pay close attention to each dog’s temperament to make sure everyone is a good fit. I don’t allow chaotic, unsupervised group play. Instead, I keep things controlled so dogs can feel comfortable, not overwhelmed. My home is dog-friendly and set up with both secure indoor space and safe outdoor access for potty breaks and fresh air. I also maintain clean routines for feeding, water, and rest areas to keep everything consistent and stress-free. Above all, I treat every dog like they’re my own—kept safe, well cared for, and genuinely looked after, not just “watched.”
About: I've cared for animals my entire life. Animals in my home are well loved; including baths if requested, exercise, and lots of play! I'm very accommodating. I work full-time from home, mostly on virtual meetings spread throughout the day. I'm up early each day and always ready for a nice walk! My yard is mostly fenced, but dogs would be kept on a leash for safety. Pets are welcome to sleep on any furniture. Food and water is available at all times in the kitchen.
About: I don’t currently have any pets, but I had a Yorkie for 15 years. We were the best of friends! Over the years I have pet sit for friends while they were on vacation. I am not working, so I have plenty of time to give to your pets. I have plenty of flexibility. I will take great care of them! I have a fenced in yard and a crate.

About: I have had my own animals and worked in vets offices my whole life. I have a variety of animals in my own home. I love all creatures big and small. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all the time! My kids are in school or daycare during the day so I am very free. I am home taking care of the home and my own animals and can be reached any day or time. I have 2 dogs. We have an acre fenced in yard so plenty of room to run out some energy! We are outside of the city and enjoy the privacy we have. We use leashes to walk from our front door to our fenced in yard and have plenty of space to accommodate crates if needed. We can do crates for dogs that need it but I pride myself on treating my boarders like my own. With free range of my home and multiple hours spent outside in the sun.
About: I have over 18 years of hands-on experience working with animals and take pride in providing safe, knowledgeable care for every pet I work with. I’ve trained multiple dogs in behavioral rehabilitation and personal protection, which has given me strong skills in reading body language and handling a wide range of temperaments. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable monitoring pets for health concerns and administering medications if needed. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience training and handling horses, which has helped me develop patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I truly care about the animals in my care and believe every pet deserves attentive, reliable, and compassionate treatment while their owners are away. I work from home so I have all the hours to dedicate to your pets and provide the best care possible. Book with me today! I have a full fenced in farm with the ability to keep your furbaby separate from other animals or the ability to let your fur babies play with others. Crates are available as well.

About: Hi there! My name is Morgan, and I’m a dedicated pet parent to two lovable doodles. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am! I understand how much your furry friends mean to you, and I’m here to provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they’re happy and safe, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, you can trust that your pets are in good hands. Let’s make their tails wag together! Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, especially since I work from home. My two doodles are my constant companions, and their needs naturally shape my day. From outdoor playtime to meal times, enrichment activities, and cuddle breaks, I’ve built a lifestyle that ensures they’re happy, active, and well-cared for. Working from home allows me to be attentive and consistent, providing plenty of time for fun and affection. Pet care isn’t just part of my schedule—it’s a fulfilling part of my everyday life! In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at ease and cared for like family. I ensure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and relaxation in a stress-free atmosphere. Whether it’s feeding, monitoring their behavior, or engaging in activities to keep them happy and healthy, I focus on their individual needs and routines.
About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m working with so I’m not rushing between visits. That means each dog gets calm, consistent attention and a much better experience overall. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.
“Kristen was awesome! So sweet and no worries at all about leaving my little guy with her. She took such great care of him! If I'm in the area and need a sitter again, I will definitely reach out to her!”
About: I began professionally caring for animals 10 years ago when I got a job at PetSmart as a Pet Care associate! From there, I became a kennel technician at one of the top rated veterinary clinics in Cincinnati, Animal Care Center, and after a year of working there as a kennel technician they trained me to be a veterinary technician. I then had my first son and stayed home with him and had a farm with pigs, chickens, and all kinds of wonderful animals! When I decided to rejoin the work force, of course I went back to what I love most, caring for animals. I worked at two different kennels full time and helped manage one of them. I am able to give medications to pets and I’m comfortable giving insulin shots. If you’re interested in drop-ins for medication only while you’re at work or out, I can do that! I’m available any time, just discuss with me what would work best for you. During overnight stays, I will fill out a report to return to you so you will have complete details of how your pet was while you’re away! I’m also willing to FaceTime and send pictures so you know that your pet is safe and sound. Housemates would be my loving and gentle 5 year old son and my fiancé. I have a small chihuahua myself who is very friendly with all other pets. Since I do have children, any pets staying at my home must be child friendly. I’m always available whenever you need me. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. Short notice or planning months in advance? I’m here! I have two children who love pets and give them plenty of friendly attention. I also have a chihuahua who gets along with other dogs but is convinced she’s truly a cat so she doesn’t play much! Pets remain leashed at all times during walks and get walked multiple times a day during pet-sitting.
About: I have over 10 years of experience of caring for dogs. I have 2 of my own and they love making new friends! I am a stay at home mom of 2 children so your fur baby will always have someone with them. I have a spacious backyard and a large deck so your pet will have lots of room to roam around safely.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets and those of friends and family, I worked as a veterinary receptionist, where I learned how to recognize signs of illness, communicate with pet owners, and help support pets with a variety of medical needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering many common medications, and providing updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands while you're away. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide patient, dependable care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable care, whether that's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I work to keep pets on their normal routine and provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household preferences. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Safety is always my top priority. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I monitor pets for any signs of illness, injury, or unusual behavior. With my background working in a veterinary office, I understand the importance of attention to detail and prompt communication if concerns arise. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and receiving the care they deserve.
About: More than just pet sitting, I provide loving companionship. I care for every dog as if they were my own — with patience, responsibility, and lots of affection. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give: I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and needs, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet cuddles, your furry friend will always receive warmth and genuine care, not just supervision. With me, your pet isn’t just looked after — they’re treated like family.” I incorporate cat care into my daily routine with set times for feeding, play, and litter maintenance, ensuring each pet receives consistent and personalized attention. Every day, I monitor their habits, check their wellbeing, and spend quality time interacting based on their personality. Weekly, I conduct more thorough checks, deep clean their space, and plan activities to keep them active and happy. With me, your cat receives regular, consistent, and loving care.” “I provide dog care both at my home and at the client’s, adapting to each dog’s needs and routines. At my home, I offer a safe, fun, and loving environment with walks, playtime, and rest tailored to each dog. At the client’s home, I strictly follow instructions, respecting their routine, feeding, and spaces so they feel comfortable and secure. In both cases, your dog receives responsible, loving, and personalized care, as if they were my own.”
About: My name is Allie, and I’m a 28 year old ER nurse of 6 years who is also an RN (and may or may not have missed my calling as a vet haha). Don’t get me wrong, I love caring for humans, but my real passion lies in caring for animals. I’m taking a break in between travel nursing jobs, and decided what to devote my time than caring for and loving on your furry family member! I am offering all services from dog walking, house visits, house sitting at your house, and am even open to accepting cats! I have two mini golden doodles of my own that I care for, but no worries- they would not need to be brought over to your space for any reason. I have experience working in pet stores throughout college, and also grew up caring for our family’s dogs from a young age! I have experience administering medicine for epileptic animals as one of my dogs at home has seizures. Feel free to ask me for my phone number. I can’t wait to get the opportunity to help you out with your fur babies!! I am taking a couple months off of work so I have a very open schedule to fit all your animal needs! When I go back to work I only work 3 days a week, so I will still have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I respect your home environment and ensure that I leave your home in the exact condition I found it in. I will also ensure the safety of your home in terms of locking doors, enabling security cameras/alarms, etc.

“Absolutely wonderful experience!! Panda was well taken care of and I received photos of her daily along with updates. Gabrielle was very understanding about panda being old and not using the potty pads like she does at home the first couple days while she was there. I’m so glad to have found Gabrielle and her family to watch panda for us when we are away. Thanks so much!!!”

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I give every pet the attention they deserve. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs.

“We had a wonderful experience with Christina! She took great care of our dog for an entire week and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and quick responses whenever we had questions. It was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Miller had the best time! Highly recommend Sean and his services. He gives updates and a peace of mind while you’re away! He truly enjoys spending time with your furry friends!”
“Great experience with Daniel and his family. Leia, my dog, is extremely energetic, and she got along well with Diesel and was able to get plenty of play time outside. When I picked her up, she was well exercised, which is always a relief! I hope to leave Leia with Daniel again.”

“Lilli was great communicating with us regarding Penny.

“This is my first time having Stephanie taking care of my dog while I'm out of town for 3 weeks and I'm very glad I did it. Before I commit anything Stephanie is very considering and patient to set up a meet & greet to ensure it will work out. Stephanie also sent me updates and pictures so I can see my dog is doing great without issues. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to my friends or anyone looking for dog boarding.”

This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so happy to have found Sarah and her precious family! Thank you!”

And I really appreciated the pictures, they were the right amount and gave me a good feel as to what was going on with him. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m working with so I’m not rushing between visits. That means each dog gets calm, consistent attention and a much better experience overall. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.

I carefully follow any instructions given by pet parents, including medications, special needs, or training preferences. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away.
