“Carla is just the best. So accommodating, genuinely kind, welcoming...I feel SO good about leaving Ollie with her. He is clearly right at home and I love all of her daily pics/updates. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely loved Jared and Waverly!! I have never used anyone besides family to care for my dog and they outdid themselves. They arranged a meet and greet so I could see their home before dropping my girl off. They sent so many pictures in the short time they cared for her as well. Will definitely be using their services again.”
“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”
“Our 2 dogs had an amazing time with Megan, Axel and the family. We appreciated the attention to detail of what our dogs needed, and the pictures sent of them. They really enjoyed themselves and were wore out from playing with Axel and one another while we were away. Would highly recommend Meagan for your pet’s booking needs. We will book again forsure!”
“Our go to for our German shepherd dog. He's always happy and well cared for. Super flexible for pickup and dropoff, and always friendly and understand. Had a flight cancelled and he was more than willing to keep my doggo another night without question. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Sharon did an excellent job watching our senior dog! She and her dog Wesley were super friendly and extra accommodating. Sharon sent frequent updates & pics and even bathed him one day when he needed a refresh. Sharon’s yard is perfect for dogs, very safe & fun to explore or sunbathe. Sharon also plays relaxing music for your dogs. Talk about a dog-cation!! You will not be disappointed booking Sharon, she is a highly skilled Dog Sitter and great with humans too!”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”
“I am so glad I found Dan. She took amazing care of our dog in her home while we were on vacation. I was so relieved to know he was getting the same amount (if not more haha!) of attention, love, and activity as we give him. She took him on long walks, played with him at the park, gave him extra treats, and even bathed him when he got a little dirty playing outside. Dan sent us plenty of photos and videos while we were gone. I will use Dan any time we are out of town again and I couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Lauren was awesome with our Chloe Bear! She sent us regular updates and lots of pics while we were gone. She took excellent care of her. Chloe Bear loved playing with her 2 dogs! I will definitely use Lauren again. It’s nice not to worry about your baby when you are gone.”
“Ian was amazing! He stayed in contact with us so we knew our baby was comfortable and happy. She is older, deaf, and not used to being alone since I work from home. He dealt with her laundry list of specific needs and never missed a beat. She made a new friend and we will be using him again if we ever have another need for extended care.”
“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.”
“My wife and I had a weekend trip planned and the person that was set to watch our dog had a last minute emergency. I sent a message to Elizabeth and Phillip and they responded within minutes. Our dog is 7 months old and it is only the second time we have left him. The first time was at a kennel and we really wanted a home environment for him. Elizabeth and Phillip provided great care. They sent daily pictures and updates. He must have had a great time because after picking him up he slept most of the day. We will definitely be calling them again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Sarah sis really great with our dogs. They came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Sarah took they on walks and allowed them on couches and beds. We are so appreciate of her and the positive stay had by our pups! Would recommend and book again.”
“Li was very accommodating. It was our first time using Rover and our circumstances were less than ideal (she had not met our 9mo Australian Shepard, it was last minute and we found out day of that our pup needed to wear an E-collar for the 4 night stay). I was less than hopeful but Li pulled through for us and was nothing less than helpful. Would use her again any time”
“Collin is the best! Whenever I’m in KY he’s my go-to go for dog sitting. My Yorkie loves playing with his, he is very great at communicating and sending pics throughout the day. Highly recommend!”

“We’ve used Ashlea for our high energy puppy as well as our 2 cats and she did a great job! Even when the puppy has some excitement pee problems, no issues 😅 she’s very communicative, punctual, and even helped us out for extra house care duties because of an emergency. Completely dependable :)”
“Janet was great with my three cats while I was on vacation for 5 days. Aside from basic feeding and cleaning the boxes, she took time to hang out with the kitties and play with them during her visit. She’s very responsive and left detailed notes each time she checked on the cats. Janet also took a bunch of cute pictures for every visit. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dependable and sweet pet sitter!”
“Julia did great with our boys! Gave great notes at the end of each check in that let us know our boys were in good hands:) We really appreciate everything Julia did and highly recommend!”
“Grace was an excellent pet sitter for our three cats. She was professional, responsible, and communicated clearly throughout our time away. We always knew how our cats were doing, which gave us peace of mind. She followed instructions carefully, was dependable, and treated our cats with genuine care. We would not hesitate to trust Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter”
About: I’ve worked in the vet field for 5+ years and have taken care of many cats during that time. I don’t currently have any cats of my own, but I have lots of niece and nephew cats that I love and care for and would do the same for your babies.
“First time using Rover and Tabitha is amazing. We were gone 10 days, she communicated with us daily through the River card. My kitty is skittish but she found her every day and took care of her. Will definitely be using Rover and Tabitha again for our next trip!”
“Joanna takes good care of my kitty. She sent us some pictures during our travel. Thanks to her, our travel was with no worries. This is the first time I hire a pet sitter through Rover, and I am pretty satisfied.”
“McKenna was AMAZING! I had a horrible experience with Rover before and so I was worried to use it again. McKenna reassured me COMPLETELY! She followed everything we asked to make our time away from our babies smooth. Our cats adjusted great when we got back because of her interaction with them! If we ever go out of town again, McKenna will be the person I book!”
“Taylor has a genuine compassion for pets. Jolene was quick to make friends with her. I knew that Jolene was in good hands and Taylor went above and beyond to bring some packages in off my front porch. I’ve already booked Taylor again for the next time I’m out of town!”
“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
About: I’ve have had 3 cats, our last just recently passed at the age of 13 in may. He was also an epileptic so I had to constantly give him meds like keppra and phenobarbital and prepare them to where he could actually take them. But after his passing I am currently catless.
“Jane was a fantastic pet sitter for our two cats. She stayed at our house, fed, and kept our two lively young cats company. She sent us pictures during the stay so we could see that they were doing well. She made our vacation so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Catherine is absolutely fantastic! She takes the time to truly care for your dog and goes above and beyond. She really helped us out with handling our new puppy! She even was able to teach him a few basic commands during her drop in visits. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing. I was nervous about having a "stranger" be able to come and go as they please while I was gone, but I felt perfectly at ease with Carla. She did a great job taking care of our cat and made sure to send plenty of pictures showing the cats happiness having her. Around while we were gone. Already booked again!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Lauran made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond when any issues came up. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Nicole was absolutely outstanding. She checked on, fed, and loved on our two kitties while we were gone for 2 weeks. She took such good care of them! She went above and beyond - took in our packages, took up our trash, and even cleaned up kitty litter that the cats tracked through the house. Her communication was amazing and she sent regular updates and pictures. We felt so comfortable having Nicole at our home while we were gone. We will 1000% have Nicole take care of our animals again!”

“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!”
“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”
“This was our puppy's first experience with 'Doggy Day Care' and it could not have gone better. Jessica was easy to communicate with, friendly and flexible. She sent a pictures and video of Jasper's day and I could tell he had a blast playing with her dogs. I would recommend Jessica Rover services without any hesitation. We will definitely use her again soon.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Hello! I’m a tenured physics Professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently care for three cats of my own and have 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 am patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. 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.
“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 helped raise a bottle fed kitten and cared for a senior beagle in his last year. I care for and adopt mostly adult dogs, but I haven't met one I don't like! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible to fit in lots of home visits with overnight stay possible! I have my own dog that goes out 3 times a day already, so fitting in pet care is a breeze! I have an apartment with 2 bedrooms where dogs can sleep separate from my own dog. My complex is very dog friendly with all pets on leash, and large areas to sniff and poop as well as a park & track in walking distance.
About: We have owned dogs since we each were children. Our dogs have been from puppies until they moved across the rainbow bridge. Mostly small to mid size dogs. Misty is home almost all the time. Tom works and is home in the evening. Week days are available with Wednesday evening pick up by 5 PM. Saturday daytime is also fine. Over night stay is available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Special arrangements could be made for Wednesday or Sunday night. We have two dogs who are each 10 years old. They will need to adapt to having other dogs visit. They have crates, and baby gate to separate as needed until all dogs are comfortable. We will give all pets plenty of attention. We have an empty room where visiting pets can spend time. We have a rope tied from tree to tree with dog leashes attached for free exercise and potty time in the yard. This keeps them safe and prevents running away. For overnight care the spare room will be supplies with a soft blanket for a bed.
“Courtney was very professional and had good communication. She invited us in and introduced her family. She has a fully fenced in back. She also provided a complete pee/poop/eat/nap report. Daisy seemed very happy. We'd definitely use Courtney's services again.”
“We were driving cross country and found Rachael so we could stop for dinner with family. Since we were not local we had no idea we crossed into a new time zone and we’re an hour late for drop off and pick up. I felt terrible but Rachael was wonderful with our pup and took great care of her. Would definitely recommend and send our pup to Rachael again. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was about 10 years old, I’ve been trusted with families as well as family, friends, and family to watch dogs. Ever since I was born, I’ve grown up with a yellow lab, and a Labradoodle, who I currently have still I’ve cared for dogs, my whole life, and understand the importance of finding someone who is reliable and trustworthy to watch your dog. I am a sophomore at the University of Kentucky and home for the summer. I have a Summer job that I work three times a week but I do not work all day, so watching your dog would be a simple task. I understand the importance of making sure your dog is safe and with someone who is trusted, which is why I will ensure to send pictures and give my full attention to your dog whether it’s helping with medicine, which I have to do with my current dog understanding its behaviors.
About: Hi! I'm Loura. I grew up with animals my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away! Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I love to be outside and being able to walk with dogs is just icing on the cake! Seeing happy furry faces and wagging tails! My dogs are a part of my family and any dog that steps paw in this home is family as well so feel at ease and know that your best bud is in the best hands! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them lots of love and attention.
About: I have experience fostering for the humane society. I have a German shepherd at home and used to own a Siberian husky. I have fostered both puppies and kittens I work from home full-time so I can give your pet plenty of potty breaks and give them a walk on my lunch if needed I have a fenced in yard that your dog can play in. I also live close to a park that we can go to. I have a friendly German shepherd who likes to play with other dogs. I will treat your pet like they are my own and let them make themselves at home.
About: I had dogs and cats in my house my entire childhood. I helped feed them and walk them, gave them medications and played with them. I’ve even given a rowdy Doberman eye drops 😅 long story short, since moving away, I’m looking to have more pets in my life. As for cats, I also grew up cleaning litter boxes and dealing with diet changes. I’ve brushed cats on a very regular basis and love playing with them. I am also here to listen for any other requests or special needs that your pet may have! Whether that be for medications, treats, specifications for walking, training commands, etc. I’m here for you! I am currently working part time with an extremely flexible schedule. I am a stay at home mom expecting my first in August 2024 and spend time taking care of my own dog as well! I am an animal lover, so I am all about the pets, cuddles, and play time! I love to run around with them, play fetch, or just let them do their thing. All animals have different needs and I’m all about observing and listening to them in the moment.
“Alycia was amazing and Bosey loved her. She was wonderful and accommodating. She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Her home is perfect for dachshunds because steps aren't good for Bosey's back. I am so grateful for her.”

“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’ve had dogs my whole life but within the last 2 years I worked at WMK9 out of Covington. Which is a dog training and boarding company. I’ve learned to properly train and take care of other peoples dogs. But my previous dog was a diabetic, so I constantly gave him vetsulin (dog insulin) twice a day. I work at Kroger and usually work 1-9, I do it about 5 days a week during the summer. I get my schedule for the next week Sunday-Saturday on the current weeks Friday. But with that said I don’t mind staying at someone else’s house. I am a very big believer in karma, so you don’t have to worry about not trusting me. I promise I will do my best to make sure your animal is comfortable with the circumstances given.
“Tabitha is wonderful and always offers lots of details about my dogs’ behavior, and anything she notices that may be a concern (for instance, she observed my boy shaking his head a lot and made sure I knew - sign of an ear infection!).”
“Taylor is awesome. He was so good to my dogs. He walked them & played with them. He is great with animals. He is reliable & dependable. He helped me with a lot of things like fresh water & feeding the dogs. I'm asking him to continue helping me.”
About: Since graduating high school, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve pet‑sat on and off over the last few years and am hoping to take on more jobs this summer before starting my senior year of college in August. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I can’t wait for the opportunity to work with you and your pets! I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time each day to focus on caring for pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to give consistent attention and maintain a reliable routine for your pet. I always prioritize safety and comfort, whether that means supervised outdoor play, quiet indoor time, or crating if needed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean, and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have pet sitting experience for more than 10+ years. I have fostered as well as owned a dog myself and implemented a training routine for them to follow commands as well as socialize with other dogs and people. I’m a huge animal lover and will take care of your pet like my own. I’m very active and able to handle any dog breed (Great Dane, pitbulls, etc.). I love being outside and I live close to a park so your dog will get plenty of exercise as well as lots of love! In my spare time you’ll find me on a volleyball court, at the gym, or at my church 😊
“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog! She is always on time, gives us updates on the walks, and helps adjust to anything we might need for that particular day regarding the dog's needs. I would trust her with my dog any time!”
About: Hi, I have been around animals of all different shapes and sizes my whole life. In addition to taking care of my own cat, I volunteer at the animal shelter to provide care and fostering. I would love to meet your furry friend! I recently completed my bachelor's degree at UCLA and relocated to Louisville to begin my professional career. Although I love pets, my lifestyle does not allow me to have a pet full-time. I will give the pets I care for maximal attention and energy. I think it is most important when a dog/cat is in a new environment or in one with new people is to make them feel comfortable and safe. In order to insure this I would spend time with the dog/cat and owner before I care for them on my own
“Winnie looked like she was loving her walk! Oliver responded really quickly to requests, was quite communicative and I loved the photos! (I hav a hard time getting good ones of her.) Thanks, Oliver!”
About: Hi, I'm Jess, a lifelong animal advocate, former shelter director, ordained interspecies animal chaplain, and experienced caretaker based in Prospect, Kentucky. I've spent years working hands-on with animals of all sizes, species, temperaments, and health needs. As Operations Director at the Terre Haute Humane Society, I worked directly alongside veterinarians to implement shelter medicine protocols and quality of life standards, giving me informal vet tech experience that most pet sitters simply don't have. I'm comfortable medicating dogs and cats, administering treatments, bathing, trimming nails, and supporting animals through illness and recovery. I bring a broad working knowledge of both pharmaceutical and natural health interventions, and I'm deeply familiar with navigating complex health needs, from post-surgical recovery to chronic illness management. For over five years, I fostered dogs through the Terre Haute Humane Society, including puppies and adults with serious behavioral challenges, dogs who were facing euthanasia due to behavioral issues, and severely ill animals, including parvo puppies, which requires intensive, around-the-clock care and a steady nervous system. I also fostered adult dogs through For Paws Sake Canine Rescue and Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, and I've been an active exotic animal foster with the Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary since 2014, caring for rabbits and ferrets. I understand difficult dogs. Not in theory, but from real experience. I know how to read body language, set boundaries with compassion, and create safety for animals who don't trust easily. Every size, every temperament, every need. I've been there. I also bring a depth of care that goes beyond the physical. As an ordained interspecies animal chaplain, I hold deep reverence for the lives of animals and the people who love them, showing up from the joy of a new puppy to the grief of a final goodbye in a way that is interfaith, inclusive, and grounded in genuine care for the whole of a life. I am also a Level II Animal Reiki practitioner trained in the Let Animals Lead method, which means I offer animals choice, consent, and energetic support in a way that honors their autonomy and meets them exactly where they are. At home, I share my life with two dogs, Merlin, a GSD mix who is sensitive and intense and absolutely my heart, and Arthur, a small scrappy mixed breed who recently had a femoral head ostectomy and reminded me all over again what it means to care for an animal through something hard. They are my people. I am active, fit, and genuinely love a long walk or a full play session. Your dog will come home tired and happy. I promise. Your pet isn't a task on my list. They're the whole point. Pet care is not something I fit into my life. It is my life. I work fully from home, which means I am present, available, and attentive throughout the entire day. I am not leaving for an office or rushing between commitments. When your pet is in my care, someone who genuinely knows animals is home with them all day, every day. My routine is consistent and calm, which animals thrive on. I wake up early and go to bed early. Meals happen twice a day on a reliable schedule. Mornings are intentional and unhurried, which sets the tone for the whole day. I live in Norton Commons in Prospect, Kentucky, one of the most walkable and beautiful neighborhoods in the Louisville area. I have been known to walk nine miles a day with my dogs, and every dog in my care gets their own dedicated walk, at their own pace, on their own schedule. I walk dogs separately because each one deserves individual attention, their own rhythm, and their own time with me. That is not an inconvenience. That is just how I do it. For dogs staying in my home, we have a generous space, a calm environment, and two resident dogs who are well-socialized and accustomed to sharing their space with visitors. For cats, I have a dedicated room that belongs entirely to them, completely separate from the dogs. Their day includes multiple play sessions, consistent feeding times, and unhurried morning time with me, typically two hours, where I am simply present with them in their space. No rushing, no chaos, just quiet companionship and genuine attention. Whether you need me in my home or yours, the consistency, presence, and care remain exactly the same. Safety and trust are not afterthoughts in how I care for animals. They are the foundation. In my home, my environment is calm, intentional, and animal-centered. I live with two dogs of my own, which means visiting pets are welcomed into a space that already understands animal needs, respects boundaries, and moves at an animal's pace. I do not rush introductions. I allow animals to acclimate on their own terms, reading their body language carefully before asking anything of them. For animals who need separation, quiet, or their own space, I provide that without hesitation. In a client's home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would want someone to bring into mine. I follow established routines closely, because consistency is safety for animals. I pay attention to the details, what a pet eats, how they move, what makes them comfortable, and what signals that something is off. I notice things. It is both training and instinct at this point. With my background in shelter medicine, informal veterinary support, and years of caring for animals with complex health and behavioral needs, I am equipped to handle the unexpected calmly and competently. I know when something is routine and when something needs attention, and I will always communicate transparently with you about your pet's well-being. My goal in every setting is simple: your pet should feel safe, seen, and at ease. Whether I am in my home or yours, that standard does not change.
About: I have been working with dogs from a young age. I Worked in a kennel to help exercise and train animals for 3 years. After that, my family began fostering dogs to help train and nurse them in order to get them adopted. I also have two dogs of my own that I love to exercise, play and cuddle with. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I am a doctor of physical therapy that is currently pursuing K9 physical therapy. While doing so, I have the flexibility to care for your pet while away. Contact me for more details! I currently make my own schedule. My job requires me to make visits around town and can always swing by at any point of the day to check on the animals. I work from home 1 day a week and love to spend my weekends relaxing with your pups! I can easily care for your dog however you would like. Long walks, play time, whatever they need! I have experience with reactive dogs as well and I will always avoid triggers for them.
“Alycia is the best!! She was very accommodating to the schedule when I needed her and she took the best care of my pup. I loved getting pictures and updates.. I could tell my dog loved spending time with her. She went above and beyond giving him extra cuddles and play time 😊 can’t recommend enough!!”
“Carolyne was absolutely wonderful. We did not worry for a single moment that our dig Charley was being very well taken care of. Carolyne sent lots of pictures and newsy updates on how Charley was doing. we would feel lucky to have Carolyne come watch Charley again.”

About: Hi, I’m Nicole! Over the past five years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. I believe pets are family, and finding the right person to look after them while you’re away is crucial. I take this responsibility seriously and approach every pet with the same love and care I give to my own. After graduating from college and moving back home to focus on my education and career, I’ve integrated pet care deeply into my daily and weekly routine. My days start with caring for my own pets, ensuring they receive their morning walks and playtime. I’ve made it a priority to be punctual and attentive, which translates into consistent and reliable care for every pet I look after. Throughout the week, I schedule dedicated times for pet sitting and dog walking, seamlessly fitting these activities around my studies and other commitments. I genuinely enjoy meeting new pets and forming bonds with them, which adds a rewarding dimension to my routine. This balance allows me to maintain a high level of care and attention, while also staying engaged with the community of pet owners and their beloved companions. Whether caring for pets in my own home or yours, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each pet and their owner. Having navigated different living situations—from sharing space with roommates to renting on my own—I understand the importance of respecting each individual’s specific needs and preferences. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment with ample space for play and relaxation. My own pets are accustomed to a structured routine, which helps me provide a consistent experience for any visiting pets. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, ensuring that every pet feels at ease. In your home, I focus on maintaining the familiar routines and surroundings that keep your pets comfortable. I follow any specific instructions you provide and adapt to your pet's habits and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and loved. My experience has equipped me with the skills to accommodate a variety of needs, whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing extra attention and care.

“Ashlea was great with my introverted senior dog. It was a same day request, but she was very accommodating. My dog came home happy after her walk with Ashlea. So glad to have found her!”
“Annie is so sweet and so so so patient with my Pearl girl! My dog can be so finicky with who she walks with and Annie is always patient as she works through the process with her. She is also super flexible when coordinating schedules.”

“Absolutely loved Jared and Waverly!! I have never used anyone besides family to care for my dog and they outdid themselves. They arranged a meet and greet so I could see their home before dropping my girl off. They sent so many pictures in the short time they cared for her as well. Will definitely be using their services again.”
“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”
“Our 2 dogs had an amazing time with Megan, Axel and the family. We appreciated the attention to detail of what our dogs needed, and the pictures sent of them. They really enjoyed themselves and were wore out from playing with Axel and one another while we were away. Would highly recommend Meagan for your pet’s booking needs. We will book again forsure!”
“Our go to for our German shepherd dog. He's always happy and well cared for. Super flexible for pickup and dropoff, and always friendly and understand. Had a flight cancelled and he was more than willing to keep my doggo another night without question. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”
“I am so glad I found Dan. She took amazing care of our dog in her home while we were on vacation. I was so relieved to know he was getting the same amount (if not more haha!) of attention, love, and activity as we give him. She took him on long walks, played with him at the park, gave him extra treats, and even bathed him when he got a little dirty playing outside. Dan sent us plenty of photos and videos while we were gone. I will use Dan any time we are out of town again and I couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Lauren was awesome with our Chloe Bear! She sent us regular updates and lots of pics while we were gone. She took excellent care of her. Chloe Bear loved playing with her 2 dogs! I will definitely use Lauren again. It’s nice not to worry about your baby when you are gone.”
“Ian was amazing! He stayed in contact with us so we knew our baby was comfortable and happy. She is older, deaf, and not used to being alone since I work from home. He dealt with her laundry list of specific needs and never missed a beat. She made a new friend and we will be using him again if we ever have another need for extended care.”
“My wife and I had a weekend trip planned and the person that was set to watch our dog had a last minute emergency. I sent a message to Elizabeth and Phillip and they responded within minutes. Our dog is 7 months old and it is only the second time we have left him. The first time was at a kennel and we really wanted a home environment for him. Elizabeth and Phillip provided great care. They sent daily pictures and updates. He must have had a great time because after picking him up he slept most of the day. We will definitely be calling them again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Sarah sis really great with our dogs. They came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Sarah took they on walks and allowed them on couches and beds. We are so appreciate of her and the positive stay had by our pups! Would recommend and book again.”
“Collin is the best! Whenever I’m in KY he’s my go-to go for dog sitting. My Yorkie loves playing with his, he is very great at communicating and sending pics throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“we were gone for three days to a family reunion. My lab Zion had never stayed with anyone other than my niece. I was really worried about using Rover, however, Mariah was absolutely excellent! She took great care of Zion and gave me regular updates! I will use Rover again!!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was about 10 years old, I’ve been trusted with families as well as family, friends, and family to watch dogs. Ever since I was born, I’ve grown up with a yellow lab, and a Labradoodle, who I currently have still I’ve cared for dogs, my whole life, and understand the importance of finding someone who is reliable and trustworthy to watch your dog. I am a sophomore at the University of Kentucky and home for the summer. I have a Summer job that I work three times a week but I do not work all day, so watching your dog would be a simple task. I understand the importance of making sure your dog is safe and with someone who is trusted, which is why I will ensure to send pictures and give my full attention to your dog whether it’s helping with medicine, which I have to do with my current dog understanding its behaviors.
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life but have taken care of pets on and off for family and friends! I’m a full time nanny so care is my specialty! I’m available for boarding on weekends but on weekdays I work full time. Always reach out though, my schedule is ever changing and I am always down to make things work! I have a big unfenced yard with a creek for your fur baby to have some fun! There are parks near by for walking! When it comes to cats, I have my own room with a big window looking out at the creek to keep them away from my roommates two cats!
“Oliver loved his time with Julia and her family. She provided updates and pictures periodically. Easy to communicate. They offered to bath and clip his nails at the end of his stay. Will definitely book with Julia again.”
