I have 5 years experience working and volunteering in animal shelters, making me a great fit for anyone wanting a sitter who knows what they’re doing and is willing to go above and beyond.

I am also insured as a pet sitter, so you can have some additional peace of mind.
“This has got to be one of our best Rover experiences! Jessica and her wonderful family took great care of our extremely anxious dog and we can literally see a change in our dog since she's back. She's been so less anxious and i think its probably because of Jessica's little boys and her 2 adorable Corgis that made our dog feel safe and excited and calm at the same time. They took our dog on regular walks and were very considerate of her health issues the whole time. Jessica kept us constantly updated with pictures and daily activities. Her boys also packed us a little goodie bag as our dog left them that was so endearing. They had a great yard and beautiful neighborhood that seems to be a pup haven! I'd leave our dog with Jessica and her family anytime again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Jessica!!”

“I cant say enough good about Catherine. She is extremely professional and she has a true passion and love for dogs. And it shows. I had a vet appointment set for Willow that I needed to reschedule and Catherine offered to take her! That to me is just awesome. Catherine really is great at what she does and I would not hesitate to use her again.”

About: I have experience with both young and older pets. With puppies and kittens, I stay consistent with routines and can help reinforce basic training like potty habits, feeding schedules, and positive behavior. For senior pets, I’m gentle and attentive to their needs, whether that means giving medication, moving at a slower pace, or just providing extra comfort and companionship. I also make sure pet owners feel at ease by keeping communication open—I can send updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, and I’m consistent with routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra visits, longer walks, or special care. I’m reliable and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and kept on their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions, give fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of exercise and attention. I also provide playtime, affection, and calm companionship so they feel at ease while you’re away. I keep the space clean and always respect the client’s home just like it’s my own.
“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”
“Suki had a great time! Mariah was very sweet and texted immediately whenever I was being a nervous Nelly and checking in on my pup. Suki came home and went straight to sleep so I count that as a win!”
“Robin was great! Our Ani loved her. She was organized and ready for her and flexible with changing timing of drop-off and pick-up. Nice communication throughout with a picture update per day.”
“Kristina was great with our very active hound dog! She treated our dog like one of her own and my pup came home tired from daycare. Kristina sent lots of photos and was easy to work with on drop-off and pick-up times!!”
“Jessica was quick to respond and took amazing care of our dog on short notice on a holiday weekend. Nice family and neighborhood, would highly recommend and will definitely use her services again for our Kobe!”

“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!”
“Late yesterday evening, we decided to spend the day out of town. On very short notice they were able to take in Nyko. I think he had a blast. It gave us a lot of freedom on our day away as well.”
About: Reliable, friendly dog and cat lover who has taken care of and lived with both animals and looks forward to caring for your pet, too! I work an early morning schedule and have flexibility so I can feed, walk, and let out a pet when you prefer so we keep your pet's routine, even while you're away. I also have a very big yard, and with dogs of my own, I know where the dog parks are of you prefer I take your dog there. For cat owners, I have lived with and taken care of cats before. I know they don't require as much as a dog, but I am prompt with feedings and litter cleanings, and I also enjoy playtime, too! I have a large, fenced backyard with two dogs who are very friendly and LOVE other dogs so all three or more of them will have a blast playing around. I also have a medium-sized crate if you need your pet crated. We also have plenty or toys and treats to share!
“Colin was absolutely amazing! I found him on short notice and he was super accommodating. I have a yorkie puppy who seemed to play fabulously with his Yorkies. Pups came back super tired from all the play time all while Colin kept me up to date with photos throughout the day. Highly recommend and will use again!”
“Stephen and Angela provided daycare for about 2 weeks for my pup. They took great care of him and were very understanding with schedule changes. I would recommend them!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was 10. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and love on their animals. I have a very flexible full time job that allows me to come and go as needed. I always check my schedule to make sure I can. I like to meet the family and pets before I start so that they know who I am and am not a stranger to them. I currently have three family’s that rely on me when they go out of town.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life including small to large dogs. I am not a professional trainer but I have experience in training my own fur babies. My work is flexible where I can drop in for visits, take them out walking or just spend time playing with them. I can also board them, so that you can have a stress free vacation. They will have a fenced yard to play in and two buddies to play with. I will send lots of pictures and updates. To ensure safety, please have all vaccinations up to date and send me a copy, if possible. I also like to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure both parties are comfortable with the booking. It will also be an opportunity to address any concerns. I work full time but have the flexibility to work remotely. If your fur baby needs someone to be home all the time, I can accommodate that. I have a fenced yard. I have a 3 year old beagle mix and a 1 year old beagle. They are both very friendly and wants to make friends. I like to take them for walks and they get plenty of outdoor time and frequent potty breaks. We have a 4 month old baby, so I would prefer if your pets are good with kids.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Cambridge
“Justin was fantastic! He came to walk my Great Pyrenees, Boo, who can be reactive to other dogs on walks, and I immediately felt confident leaving him in Justin’s care. Before the walk, he took the time to ask questions. Justin was incredibly kind and patient with Boo, and it was obvious that Boo had a great time! He even came early in the morning to help us beat the summer heat, which I really appreciated. After their one hour walk, Boo came home happy, relaxed, and tired! I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Lauran was fantastic while I was visiting Louisville for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby weekend. Her communication was top notch, always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the two days. I especially appreciated her flexibility when I needed to add an extra walk at the last minute, she was incredibly accommodating and handled it without any issues. It’s a huge relief to find someone so reliable and easy to work with when you're visiting another city for an event. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and adaptable walker!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and I have been pet/house sitting for about 10 years. I have always had pets and been around all different kinds of animals. I just graduated from law school, I started my new job post law school. I do work in an office, but I am able to stop in and make sure your animal is taken care of. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of a pet at your home. I am happy to walk a dog on a leash, let them out to play, play with them, take them to a dog park.

“Booked Courtney at the very last minute for a 1 hr walk for the first time and she was able to accommodate and get my boys. They enjoyed their time and she cared enough to towel dry them after their walk as it was raining. Booked again for boarding and she was always informative, reached out with any questions to make sure she provided the best care and daily updates with pictures etc. she made sure they got comfortable being in a new space as well. Xoxo”
