Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alcalde

“Our dogs were happy and received wonderful care with Katrina and her family. I truly believe Ava and Harlow were treated just like their own pets. They were especially fond of Katrina’s daughter! 🥰 Katrina kept us updated throughout their stay, regularly communicated with us, and sent pictures so we could see how they were doing. One of our dogs is elderly and has some special requirements, and Katrina followed all of our instructions and took great care of her needs. She was also very accommodating when we needed to schedule a later pickup, which we really appreciated. It means so much to be able to go away and not have to worry about your fur babies. Knowing they are happy, safe, and well cared for gives you such peace of mind. We would definitely trust Katrina and her family with our dogs again. Thank you so much, Katrina, for taking such great care of Ava and Harlow! ❤️🐾”

“We were in town for a special event where we required dog sitting service. Brandan is a polite and respectful individual with a calm demeanor. It was a great experience having Brandan take care of our dog and would recommend him highly. If we ever found ourselves in KY again we would definitely rely on his services. Thank you, Brandan truly appreciate you and your love for dogs shines through! Five stars!”

“Lensey always goes above and beyond to spoil my Sadie! When we arrive, Sadie can't wait to get out of the car to start playing which speaks volumes about how well she's cared for there. 🙂”

“My dog was in an awesome mood when I picked her up. Very responsive to inquiries. Sent photos of my pup playing. She was obviously very well cared for. Wonderful caring people.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a little girl, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for many different types of pets and have always taken the time to research their individual needs so I could give them the best life possible. I have over 30 years of experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from small breeds to large, powerful dogs. I’m comfortable following established routines, providing plenty of attention and playtime, and adapting my approach to each dog’s individual personality and needs. I also have experience with senior pets and understand that they may need extra patience, a slower pace, and closer attention to their comfort and behavior. My own dog is Hemi, my Rottweiler and resident “big baby.” He loves giving hugs and even knows how to tilt his head on command! Having a large dog of my own has given me plenty of hands-on experience with the strength, energy, and wonderfully goofy personalities that often come with bigger breeds. When I care for your dog, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine, spend quality time playing or relaxing with them, and I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how they’re doing. I treat every pet in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own. As a teacher, I have a consistent schedule that makes it easy to plan pet care around my workday. I’m available for house-sitting every other week and can provide care before and after school as well as more flexible care on weekends and school breaks. When I accept a booking, I make sure I have the time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve, not just rush in and out. I know it takes a lot of trust to welcome someone into your home and leave a beloved pet in their care. As a teacher and longtime pet owner, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to details. I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines, respect your home, and pay attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. I’ll also send pictures and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Things went smoothly. Good communication”

“Brandon did a great job with Dottie, our GSD. He sent pictures of every visit and treated her like a queen. We will be using Brandon again on several upcoming away from home trips. I highly recommend Brandon!”

“Being new to the area and needing care for our three cats we decided to give Rover a try. We chose three candidates to contact. Jennifer was the first to respond. She had listed her experience which was quite extensive and agreed to meet with us to get a better feel for what we expected. She came over and did a walk thru to make sure she fully understood what was needed. Her communication and attention to detail was excellent and gave us a comfort level that we could be gone and relax knowing everything was being taken care of. If you are in need of house sitting with pets I recommend putting Jennifer at the top of your list to contact.”

About: Throughout most of my life my family has had cats. For a long time when I moved to the country, we only had one cat that was outside most of the time, his name was Henry and he was so sweet. However, after he passed, we adopted two beautiful baby kittens a few months later, Teddy and June! Me and my siblings helped raise those tiny kittens to the big beautiful fur balls they are now and they are the most loving and sweetest cats we have ever had for our family. I also help take care of cats through the humane society at my job at Petsense, I do my best to visit the local humane societies as often as I can to love on all the kitty babies. Cats are beautiful creatures and I truly love every single one I meet, I want to take care of each of them as best I am able. ❤️ I am very clean and make sure that when I am cleaning their space (litter box, play toys, etc.) I do a good job so they can be comfortable. They deserve the best care!

“Brandan is the best! We cannot be more thankful for his care our pup! We had a different sitter from Rover cancel on us the morning of, so when Brandan responded to our request immediately with a yes, we were so impressed! He took our dog in with a half hour notice and did an amazing job! Many thanks to Brandan for helping us out when we thought we were screwed! He sent us many pictures of our dog playing outside and having fun at the dog park and on a walk. We absolutely recommend Brandan for his reliability and availability! He’s also a really nice guy.”

“Sarah did a great job watching our dog. She documented her visit very well, which I really appreciate. We’ll definitely consider her again when we are at the lake.”

“Katrina was accommodating with our last minute request and was very responsive throughout the entire process. Communication was excellent, and it was clear our puppy was well loved and well cared for while staying with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again if we are ever in the Corbin area again.”

Leah R.

“Lensey and her husband were amazing! She was very professional and knowledgeable about introducing her pack to my pack, and did so with no issues. She administered medications and food exactly as requested, and my babies came home happy and exhausted! This was a last minute booking as I was coming to the lake with friends and Lensey was so helpful deciding if doggie day care or drop ins would be the best fit. Next time I will definitely consider just booking her for dog sitting the entire weekend! (Oh, and bonus, she keeps her calendar on Rover up to date!)”

Michelle H.

“Olive loved her time playing at Kendra’s home. She enjoyed her big, fenced in back yard. I was very comfortable leaving Olive for the day. I would highly recommend her services! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Brandan was great at communicating with me and making sure Merle got the walk she needed! I cannot thank him enough!”

About: Started as veterinary assistant at 13 yrs old. Have had dogs, cats, chickens, goats, rabbits. ferrets, horses. Bred Dobbies. Animals have more heart than some humans. I am free to pet sit overnight in a safe environment after a meet n greet. And can check in twice a day within 10 miles. Xtra charge for further milage. My home is pet friendly, however I would prefer to go to the pets home for pet family care. Leaving your home same as when you left.

About: I have taken care of my own current dog, Mack, since I was 12. I've had several other family dogs in the past that I have helped raise and train as well, I've taken care of other people's animals before, and I have always truly loved all animals. ❤️ I love to walk dogs, or cats! I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet when I do have my days off, I will start substitute teaching soon so this could potentially affect my daytime availability. I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby because he's part of my family. I love him very much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me so happy, and I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too. They deserve it!

About: I love all animals. As you can see in my pictures I have been around many different animals. I have been around dogs, cats, Guinea pigs and hamsters, sharks, goats, birds, and horses. I believe that pets are part of the family and I believe all animals deserve to be well taken care of. While my apartment does not allow pets I am more than happy to pet sit at your place or just stop by for some attention, feeding, or walks. Pets are part of one’s family and I believe that should be treated as such. I am there to feed your pet and take it on walks as well as play with it and give it whatever kind of attention is needed.
