“Adam and family took great care of our pups! They sent pictures and updates every day and I felt like they genuinely cared for our precious dogs. One of our pups has a hard time getting along with other dogs at first, but they were patient, introduced her slowly to the others, and she eventually settled in. Thanks for all the doggie snuggles! We'll be back!”
“I give Stephen and Angela 5 stars. They were very accommodating and answered all my questions. Since I was new to Rover I was worried about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know but they made me feel comfortable. I would definitely use them again”
“Dan was amazing. She provided a lot of pictures and videos. My dog had a great time with her and her kids. We will definitely be booking with her for our future trips!”
“We found Sean to be very caring, professional and wonderful man. He took excellent care of our Silver lab, Boone. He took time to let us be a part of him introducing Boone to the other dog who was staying with him. He sent us photos and sent us updates. We will definitely be using Sean again when we travel. ❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience! Zeke is a Lab, and they have a Lab too, plus they were watching another younger dog during his stay. He had so much fun having canine companions to play with. Their home is spacious with plenty of room for the dogs, and with four kids plus mom and dad, Zeke received lots of love, attention, and belly rubs. It was obvious he felt right at home. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos, they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. You can genuinely tell this is a family that loves dogs and treats them like part of the family. They’re just kind, caring people. As much as I hate leaving my dog behind when I travel, knowing he’ll be staying with a family like this makes it so much easier. I’ll definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters.”
“Beth was amazing with my dog!!! She sent plenty of updates with photos so I knew my dog was happy and healthy. I really appreciate the time she took to ask questions about my dog’s preferences and behavior prior to agreeing to watch her! Beth is amazing and very kind”
“I was a nervous wreck leaving our puppy for the first time and she made this whole experience absolutely wonderful. Sent lots of pictures and videos. Will definitely try to book with her in the future if possible.”
“Angela made Sophie one of her family for over two weeks. She sent lots of pictures every day and it was obvious Sophie felt at home. We were afraid she might not want to come home.”
“I can’t say enough good things about these folks. To start, they spent an hour with me and Benny (my pup) in advance of my trip and introduced us to their place. Benny loved the big backyard and I could tell he immediately felt at home. During my trip, I received daily videos of Benny playing with other dogs or being loved on, which made me feel good knowing I was so far away from home. Benny is such a good dog and I am grateful to have connected with people as equally good and loving. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
“Alyssa was awesome! Her and her kiddos welcomed Zorro with open arms! She kept me posted on how he was doing and out my mind at ease during his stay. Thanks Alyssa, I will definitely be rebooking for any future needs!”
“Wow, I’m speechless just how amazing this experience was not only as a human, but my puppy was happy and clean when I came back. Heather is truly an angel and I can’t speak to what a blessing she was for us to leave our fur baby! 10 stars! Can’t thank her enough.”
“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.”
“Bill was amazing watching our hound, who can be anxious. He had great communication and sent plenty of pics throughout her stay. She seemed very relaxed when we picked her up! Will be using his services again.”
About: Welcome! We're the Phenix family—a family of six (plus our two sweet dogs!). We understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, and we strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun home away from home. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means visiting dogs are rarely left alone for more than a few hours and have plenty of opportunities to get outside. Safety is one of our top priorities. Our spacious backyard is fully fenced with a secure 4-foot wrought iron fence, giving dogs lots of room to run and play. We know some pups are talented escape artists, so our gates are secured with locks, and every guest wears an AirTag during their stay as an extra precaution—just in case we have a little Houdini on our hands! Our 2 resident pups are Athena (a Collie) and Lulu (a Beagle mix). Both are 10 years old, gentle, and experienced hosts. We've been dog sitting for over 9 years, so they're very comfortable welcoming new furry friends into our home. They're great at reading other dogs' body language and are happy to play or simply give visiting dogs their space if that's what they prefer. To keep everyone happy and healthy, all dogs are fed separately to prevent food-related conflicts, and we only give treats and food provided by each owner to help avoid upset stomachs or dietary issues. We look forward to welcoming your pup into our family and treating them like one of our own while you're away! Our day starts with dogs being let out to go to the bathroom at 6am then breakfast. We have had some late sleepers stay with us, so we do adjust for our sleepy friends. Dogs have access to the backyard whenever they would like and we have plenty of dog toys for them to enjoy. We are happy to accommodate any feeding schedule, so we can keep your pup as close to their normal routine as possible. We have a fully fenced in yard with locks on the gates. Since we know some dogs are great at escaping, we have an air tag just in case.
“Incredible care for Oakley. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Phillip. They have Aussie experience and it made whole stay much easier. Oakley fit right in and I appreciated their flexibly on his food and exercises!”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”
“Megan took great care of my dog and was great about sharing pictures and letting me know he was doing good while I was out of town. Sounded like he got along great with her dog as well. Definitely recommend her if you need someone to look after your dog.”

“Shaine took care of a feral cat that I have been caring for over the last eight years. Feral cats choose people not the other way around. It was obvious from how close this cat came to Shaine that she is good people. I would recommend Shaine for simple or complicated pet sitting needs.”
About: I’m a dedicated animal lover who volunteers at a shelter cleaning cat kennels. With my experience in the shelter I’ve learned to prioritize calm, attentive, and reliable care for cats. I understand that every cat has their own personality some are social and cuddly, others are independent observers and I always adjust my care to match what makes your cat feel most comfortable. With my Dog Shelter Handling Certificate and RECOVER Pet CPR certification, I bring knowledge of safe animal handling, behavior awareness, and emergency preparedness. I’m comfortable caring for cats of all temperaments, including shy, anxious, or senior cats who need a gentle and patient approach. With me, your cat can expect: - Consistent feeding and litter care routines - Playtime tailored to their energy and personality - Calm companionship (or respectful space, if they prefer solitude) -Daily updates with photos and notes for peace of mind My goal is to keep your cat feeling safe, relaxed, and cared for in their own home while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I treat every visit with patience, respect, and attention to detail so both you and your cat feel at ease. I look forward to meeting you and your feline friend!
“Natalie was very nice and accommodated us very well. I made a mistake which she was happy to work around. She's the cat whisperer and was able to make friends with my very shy cat so I'm super grateful for it!”
“Wonderful! Julia provided great service and peace of mind. I was put at ease with her immediately and did not worry about my cats during our week away. The daily check-ins were admired by my children (who missed their pets tremendously) and I was impressed by the care displayed during an unexpected weather event. I will book with Julia again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities through my volunteer work at a local humane society. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, brushing, and giving lots of gentle reassurance to shy or anxious kitties. I understand that cats thrive on routine and calm energy. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs.
“Joanna had been so nice and loving to our kitties when we were away. She paid attention to every detail and took great care. She spent good time playing with my cats, petting them and giving them lots of love and attention. I was able to put my mind at peace, trusting Joanna with my fur babies. Totally recommend her. ❤️”
About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals and have extensive hands on experience with dogs, horses, and cats. I currently work professionally in animal care, managing the daily care and well being of retired Thoroughbred racehorses, so being responsible for animals is truly a part of my everyday life. I’m also a lifelong dog owner and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from small dogs to giant breeds. I’m comfortable with senior pets, administering medications, special routines, and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
“Mary was the absolute best!! I felt so relieved on my trip knowing that my baby was in good hands. She genuinely cared about my pet and was so thoughtful!! I loved how much time she spent with him and the pictures and updates that I got. She is fantastic!! 10/10 recommend! 💙”
About: I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits but have also cared for guinea pigs, turtles and fish. Caring for your pet the way you do is most important. I am available most days and times. My open availability leaves you with piece of mind knowing there's someone that can help any time of the day. I have a big yard and will be spending lots of time outside. Really big on taking hikes, and playing ball. Staying hydrated will also be priority.non smoker.
“Lauren & Joseph took great care of our GSD russ while we were out on vacation! Photos of every drop-in were provided and communication was excellent. They went above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog in his backyard area!! Would definitely suggest going with them if you’re looking for exceptional care and will definitely be using them in the future!!”
“Tyler did a great job taking care of our cat! He was reliable, communicative, and made sure she was well cared for. I really appreciated all the photo updates too. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We’ll definitely recommend him to others and have him come again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart from others sitters? Well I don’t always sit. I get up and move around making sure your favorite gets the exercise they need and deserve. It’s important to me that I give my clients value. While pet setting I can also help clean and organize for extra compensation. I want you to return to your home and pet satisfied and unburdened. I spend the time to build rapport with your pet so that they are happy and healthy. We can look at each other’s schedules and see if it works. If it does awesome!!! Yay for Us. If not we can figure something out. I even have some friends on this app that I can refer. I can accommodate your pet in just about anyway that you need. You just let me know of specifications and I can assist them. Within means that is.
About: I have taken care of cats all my life but I haven’t had my own until 5 years ago so I don’t count my childhood as actually caring for them. As an adult I absolutely love taking care of them and getting in as much cuddle time as possible.
About: I grew up with cats, and now have had cats my entire adulthood. I have 3 cats right now of varying ages, and they are all my babies. One has a life-long disease, so I know how stressful that can be to leave them with a stranger. I PROMISE I will give them the best care humanly possible!
About: As both a lifelong cat owner and someone with veterinary technician experience, I understand feline behavior, health, and the importance of keeping cats calm and comfortable in their own environment. I provide attentive care including feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and close monitoring for any health or behavioral changes. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and handling cats with patience and respect for their individual personalities. I truly love cats and treat every one in my care as if they were my own.

“Angela and Stephen are good dog sitters and even better people. Bella is always worn out with a smile on her face every time she gets to stay with them. 5/5 would recommend to anyone wanting great care for your beloved pet!”
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.
“Jared and Waverly were great with our dogs, and even managed to get my curmudgeon named skittles to positively interact with a couple older dogs! They were flexible and understanding of my changing schedule, as we were on a road trip and only needed help for a few hours. If I’m ever in Louisville with the doggos again I’d contact them straightaway”
About: “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk Peace of mind is everything while you are away. I will provide tons of updates and pictures for you to rest assured your baby is in good hands. Many of my clients return again and again, it’s the greatest compliment! I am a compassionate, flexible, reliable pet sitter that will treat your doggie like family. You can feel secure, knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands while you are away. If your pet requires any type of special needs or medication, you can rely on my experience. I have a house with a fully fenced in back yard. I keep my bookings very limited and only accept overlapping puppers when they’re a calm, proven fit. They will get the extra attention they deserve while also having a couple of canine playmates! I work from home so I am able to give your baby full attention, exercise and snuggles all day every day. They will have plenty of socialization and company. I have always loved animals of every kind. I have taken care of dogs for the past 20 years through myself or friends. I have raised & trained my sweet senior Doberman from 8 weeks old. I also have a rescue, a sweet senior Pomeranian that I have had for the past 11 years. In our free time we love going to the lake, camping, picnics in the parks, car rides, the dog park and the occasional pup cup! We would be thrilled for you to allow us to watch your sweet baby and go on adventures with us! I am always extremely flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs and schedule. I work from home so your fur baby will have constant companionship, mental, and physical exercise! I have a fully fenced in backyard and two very friendly dogs to keep them company and have fun-time playmates. We go out to potty at least every 1-2 hours. I also have a large and small crate for dogs that are crate trained unless you’d like to bring your own. I have a separate fully insured $1M policy for your peace of mind.
“From first hello, Sean was gentle with Winnie, who can be nervous around new men. He was so thorough and professional in communicating with us and was completely flexible with our return time, as we tooled around Louisville to see the sights. We could not have felt more secure knowing Sean was looking after our girl (and walking her down to the Ohio River was just icing on the cake). Recommend Sean highly!!!”
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.

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.
About: Growing up, my family would foster a lot of dogs so I have a lot of experience with different breeds and different ages and different backgrounds. Nowadays, I just have my dog Daisy and cat mango who are very friendly to other pets. I am available throughout the entire week. On Monday Wednesday and Friday I work but can work from home as needed. I am available to take care of your babies whenever they need. I have a fenced in yard and very safe and friendly neighborhood. I give lots of quality time to the pets that are in my care.
About: About Me: Hi! I’m a caring, reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have more than 10 years of experience with cats and dogs. My husband, our 5-year-old son, 8-year-old daughter and I care for pets together, so your cutie gets lots of attention, companionship, and a warm home atmosphere. We genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—playing, relaxing, and giving them the affection they deserve. We love the outdoors, so if your pet enjoys it too, we’re happy to include fun adventures like neighborhood walks, gentle hikes, and fresh-air outings—always tailored to your pet’s age, energy level, and routine. If I’m staying in a city with a nearby beach, such as San Jose or San Francisco (where I sometimes visit family), we may also enjoy a beach outing, always with your permission and only if it’s a good fit for your pet. For pets who prefer a quieter pace, we’re just as happy to provide calm companionship, enrichment, and cozy cuddle time at home. Cleanliness and health are a big priority for me. I take pride in maintaining a clean, safe environment—deep-cleaning litter boxes, keeping feeding areas tidy, refreshing water bowls, and making sure pet spaces stay comfortable and sanitary. I believe the small details truly make a big difference for pets and their families. Most importantly, I care for every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to behavior cues, routines, and preferences—whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or senior. Daily Updates: I will send daily updates with photos and videos, so you can see how your pet is doing and feel relaxed while you’re away. I can also include notes on meals, walks/potty breaks, playtime, and overall mood if you’d like. What You Can Expect: Loving, family-style care and companionship Clean, healthy pet environment (litter box/feeding area hygiene) Routine-focused care (meals, meds if needed, walk schedules) Daily photo + video updates for peace of mind On a weekly basis, I set aside time for deeper tasks like thorough litter box cleaning, refreshing food and water stations, and ensuring medications or special diets are handled with care. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, these responsibilities don’t feel like chores — they’re a rewarding part of my everyday life. The boarding is available daily after around 3 p.m. When I board pets in my home, I treat them as part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. Pets stay on their normal routine as much as possible — including feeding times, walks, medications, and bedtime habits — so they feel comfortable and secure.
“I’m so happy Bear had a great time with this sitter, she was amazing at being available short notice and took very good care of my dog. I highly recommend this sitter!”
About: A trait that I believe I inherited is my connection with animals. They have a place in my heart that is indescribable! I'm a cardiac sonographer who is responsible, patient, and kind. I always treat animals the way I would want my pet treated if leaving them with someone else. I enjoy taking walks and the feeling of taking care of something/someone that can't take care of themselves so it's no wonder that this is a perfect side hustle for me! I have years of great experience with all different ages from puppies/kittens to seniors. I'm also experienced in administering medications when necessary. I hope to meet you and your furry one(s) soon! As a cardiac sonographer, I have a schedule that allows me to have a fulfilled side hustle. Please send me a message if you're interested and we will line up our calendars for your needs! I care for pets patiently and with genuine love.

About: Hello! You can call me Wendy. I’m a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently have three cats of my own and many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I’m patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. For pets boarding in my home, I understand that some pets may be more comfortable having their own space.

As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: Hello! You can call me Wendy. I’m a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently have three cats of my own and many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I’m patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. For pets boarding in my home, I understand that some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. If you prefer, I can keep my three cats completely separate from your pet for the entire stay, so your pet can relax in a safe, quiet environment. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 16 for neighbors and friends and I love it. I bathe, walk, and play with them and make sure all their needs are taken care of. I am currently a senior at the University of Louisville so I have plenty of time to take care and love your little ones. I love meeting new pups and cats! I have a nice backyard with no houses behind it and a friendly dog and cat who love a little company. Our dog is 2 and our cat is 3!
“Jenna fit our needs and our dogs needs beautifully and seamlessly. She's a great communicator. Thank You Jenna. We are looking forward to booking more walks with you.”

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.

“awhh!!! she eased me nerves so good! she spent the extra time with my baby letting her play and get to know her!! my dog has a ton of anxiety and they are besties now!! so pleased with this experience!”
About: I absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m especially interested in dog walking and enjoy getting dogs outside for exercise, fresh air, and plenty of sniffing! I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels and will follow your preferred walking routine closely. I am very active so have no issues with long walks! I’m also happy to provide drop-in visits or house sitting when needed. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages. I recently graduated with my master’s degree and am currently studying for my professional exam, so I have a flexible schedule and am able to fit dog walks and pet visits into my day. I’m particularly interested in weekday walks and enjoy getting outside and staying active. I’m also available for some house sitting depending on the dates. I’m reliable, communicative, and flexible, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need Safety is always my first priority when caring for a pet. For walks, I’ll follow your instructions regarding leashes, harnesses, routes, pace, and anything else that helps your dog feel comfortable. I’ll be mindful of weather conditions and your dog’s individual energy level and needs. For house sitting, I’ll respect your home, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and make sure doors, gates, and other potential escape points are secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and safe.
About: I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits but have also cared for guinea pigs, turtles and fish. Caring for your pet the way you do is most important. I am available most days and times. My open availability leaves you with piece of mind knowing there's someone that can help any time of the day. I have a big yard and will be spending lots of time outside. Really big on taking hikes, and playing ball. Staying hydrated will also be priority.non smoker.
About: I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of space outdoors, perfect for the frequent pit stop and play time. Just down the street from me is a beautiful dog park, with lots of space to run, play, and socialize with other dogs! I would be thrilled to provide a comfortable and safe environment for your loved ones, worry free for both you and them, while on vacation. I'm an animal lover and can promise you they'll receive lots of attention, play time, and affection, while you are off enjoying some time to yourself! My current schedule is flexible and allows me time for drop in visits, daily walks and overnight boarding for most of the day and evening. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I tailor my care to each individual animal. In a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that seems out of the ordinary, and I’ll always communicate with you if I have any concerns. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own.
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.
About: I ran my mother’s pet care business for 2 years and am now working independently. I can easily build rapport and trust with any pet, and can handle all sizes and temperaments. Currently working Monday through Saturday from 6am to 7pm. This is my only job at the moment so my availability is wide open and I will accept same day bookings. I build trust and respect with any pet I encounter. I’ll ensure everyone’s care needs are met, and give your pets plenty of love and attention to hold them over until they see you next.
About: What sets me apart is my dependability and communication. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while providing regular updates so you can enjoy your time away without worry. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention while making sure your pet stays comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow all instructions, maintain their normal routine, and ensure they always have fresh water, food, and a clean environment. I'll keep doors and gates secure, provide plenty of attention, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: Grew up with 2 dogs when I was kid. I can’t wait to take care of your dogs like they are my own family pet I’m currently active duty army. I am available all weekends. During weekday I can check on your fur baby after work around 5 o’clock. ❤️ I live in an apartment. I love going on walks and watching over pets. My home had nothing hazardous for them to get in to
About: I have owned dogs since I was little. Now I have my very own dog and hopefully will have another in a few years. I have watched my friend's dogs before and helped care for sick dogs. I have a very fun and young Lab named Pheona. She’s a good first dog to call my own but I have learned so much from her. It also made my love for dogs stronger. I do not mind coming in and checking on dogs or cats. I also love going on walks with dogs and definitely would love to take dogs for a walk. I can also help keep up training or help out with training. I am comfortable around pretty much all sizes of dogs. I myself have a larger-sized dog but I have lived with a variety of sizes of dogs. I’m a very friendly individual so don’t be afraid to reach out to communicate with me. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m currently in school, so I have a fairly flexible schedule and can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and care instructions. I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep an eye on their behavior and needs, and make sure they have plenty of attention, fresh water, food, and exercise. I also respect the owner’s home and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible.

“Adam and family took great care of our pups! They sent pictures and updates every day and I felt like they genuinely cared for our precious dogs. One of our pups has a hard time getting along with other dogs at first, but they were patient, introduced her slowly to the others, and she eventually settled in. Thanks for all the doggie snuggles! We'll be back!”
“I give Stephen and Angela 5 stars. They were very accommodating and answered all my questions. Since I was new to Rover I was worried about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know but they made me feel comfortable. I would definitely use them again”
“Dan was amazing. She provided a lot of pictures and videos. My dog had a great time with her and her kids. We will definitely be booking with her for our future trips!”
“We found Sean to be very caring, professional and wonderful man. He took excellent care of our Silver lab, Boone. He took time to let us be a part of him introducing Boone to the other dog who was staying with him. He sent us photos and sent us updates. We will definitely be using Sean again when we travel. ❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience! Zeke is a Lab, and they have a Lab too, plus they were watching another younger dog during his stay. He had so much fun having canine companions to play with. Their home is spacious with plenty of room for the dogs, and with four kids plus mom and dad, Zeke received lots of love, attention, and belly rubs. It was obvious he felt right at home. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos, they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. You can genuinely tell this is a family that loves dogs and treats them like part of the family. They’re just kind, caring people. As much as I hate leaving my dog behind when I travel, knowing he’ll be staying with a family like this makes it so much easier. I’ll definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters.”
“Beth was amazing with my dog!!! She sent plenty of updates with photos so I knew my dog was happy and healthy. I really appreciate the time she took to ask questions about my dog’s preferences and behavior prior to agreeing to watch her! Beth is amazing and very kind”
“I was a nervous wreck leaving our puppy for the first time and she made this whole experience absolutely wonderful. Sent lots of pictures and videos. Will definitely try to book with her in the future if possible.”
“Angela made Sophie one of her family for over two weeks. She sent lots of pictures every day and it was obvious Sophie felt at home. We were afraid she might not want to come home.”
“Alyssa was awesome! Her and her kiddos welcomed Zorro with open arms! She kept me posted on how he was doing and out my mind at ease during his stay. Thanks Alyssa, I will definitely be rebooking for any future needs!”
“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.”
“Bill was amazing watching our hound, who can be anxious. He had great communication and sent plenty of pics throughout her stay. She seemed very relaxed when we picked her up! Will be using his services again.”
About: Welcome! We're the Phenix family—a family of six (plus our two sweet dogs!). We understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, and we strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun home away from home. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means visiting dogs are rarely left alone for more than a few hours and have plenty of opportunities to get outside. Safety is one of our top priorities. Our spacious backyard is fully fenced with a secure 4-foot wrought iron fence, giving dogs lots of room to run and play. We know some pups are talented escape artists, so our gates are secured with locks, and every guest wears an AirTag during their stay as an extra precaution—just in case we have a little Houdini on our hands! Our 2 resident pups are Athena (a Collie) and Lulu (a Beagle mix). Both are 10 years old, gentle, and experienced hosts. We've been dog sitting for over 9 years, so they're very comfortable welcoming new furry friends into our home. They're great at reading other dogs' body language and are happy to play or simply give visiting dogs their space if that's what they prefer. To keep everyone happy and healthy, all dogs are fed separately to prevent food-related conflicts, and we only give treats and food provided by each owner to help avoid upset stomachs or dietary issues. We look forward to welcoming your pup into our family and treating them like one of our own while you're away! Our day starts with dogs being let out to go to the bathroom at 6am then breakfast. We have had some late sleepers stay with us, so we do adjust for our sleepy friends. Dogs have access to the backyard whenever they would like and we have plenty of dog toys for them to enjoy. We are happy to accommodate any feeding schedule, so we can keep your pup as close to their normal routine as possible. We have a fully fenced in yard with locks on the gates. Since we know some dogs are great at escaping, we have an air tag just in case.
“Incredible care for Oakley. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Phillip. They have Aussie experience and it made whole stay much easier. Oakley fit right in and I appreciated their flexibly on his food and exercises!”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”
“Megan took great care of my dog and was great about sharing pictures and letting me know he was doing good while I was out of town. Sounded like he got along great with her dog as well. Definitely recommend her if you need someone to look after your dog.”
“Jared and Waverly were absolutely incredible with our dog! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They gave us regular updates and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious how much love and attention they gave her-she was relaxed and happy when we got home, which says it all. We couldn’t recommend them more highly! If you’re looking for trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring sitters, Jared and Waverly are the best.”
