“Sharon was absolutely fantastic with our goldendoodle! This was our first time using Rover and the experience couldn't have gone any better. Sharon eased our worries with consistent communication, daily photos and videos. She promptly replied to our messages and questions. We were excited to receive daily photos and updates while on vacation. Most importantly, our fur baby was in a safe, calm and loving environment which enabled us to enjoy our vacation. Thank you Sharon for ensuring our baby was happy. We will definitely be boarding Beau with you in the future!”

“Angela and Stephen really came through for us! We had to take a trip with only about 15 hrs notice and they were able to take care Frankee so we could go pick up our sick girl from camp without worry. Definitely recommend and will use them again!”
“Lillian can be a bit shy initially but took to Jessica's family and home in a flash. Shortly after dropping her off her husband and son took her on a walk to keep her engaged. I ended up having flight issues on my return and Jessica + family were so understanding and flexible. Lillian was happy and incredibly well taken care of. I appreciate Jessica's entire family opening up their home and loving on my girl while I had to be gone.”
“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.”
“Shunita was so great with Dango! I'm so thankful to have found her on such short notice, I received updates and not only that but she was super patient when it came to him being nervous around other dogs. He ended up making a couple of friends during his stay! She also made sure he ate, he was being a little odd ball not eating his food but she went of her way giving him chicken everyday. I am so glad to have found her I really cannot thank you enough!💕”
“Jared and Waverly took great care of Wrigley and sent us updates and photos while we were away. She had a great time and is looking forward to her next stay.”
“I had such a great experience with this dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how sweet, kind, and genuinely caring they are—not just toward people, but especially toward animals. My dog felt comfortable right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. They were attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It’s obvious they truly love what they do, and it shows in the way they treat the dogs in their care. I could tell my dog was happy, well cared for, and even a little spoiled with attention! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”

“This was my second time booking with Lauran, and once again she was absolutely wonderful! Having someone I can trust with my two cats gives me so much peace of mind while we're away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, made sure my cats were well cared for, and even managed to earn the trust of my very shy cat, which says a lot! It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

He came right up to her, and all the other cats were comfortable, which says a lot! She took plenty of pictures, was on time with her appointments which we scheduled, was communicative, and especially played with the kitten while I was out of town! I have already booked her two additional times!”
“Heather was awesome to work with. She connected with my Floki right away. He loved spending time with her and she eased my mind with how awesome she was with him. Thank you again so much!”
“Rhonda is an absolute gem! She followed our care instructions to a T, and every visit came with thoughtful updates and sweet little descriptions of what my baby girl was up to.

I’d rebook with Rhonda in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation!”

“This is my 5th or 6th time using Liz. Every time she sends good pictures and her communication is great! Fast responses, clear pictures and happy dogs every time. I don’t recommend giving short notices if you don’t have to but my job is last minute demanding and she’s been the best at responding last minute.”
About: I've shared a home with cats for most of my life. At work I was affectionately known as the "Crazy Cat Lady", which I considered a compliment. As an experienced Licensed Veterinary Technician with more than 30 years in veterinary medicine, I'm comfortable caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats with medical needs. I can administer oral and injectable medications, including insulin, monitor your cat's health and behavior, keep litter boxes clean, and provide plenty of calm companionship while you're away. I understand that many cats prefer a quiet, patient approach, so I let them set the pace and work to make each visit as stress-free as possible. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, or simply have a reassuring presence nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for until you return.
“One of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. Always very responsive, works well with our cats, and helps clean up if the cats makes a mess. We recommend Sam to anyone who has a pet.”
About: I have a cat of my own who is 5 years old and has intense anxiety. I have become accustomed to helping her during travel, change, and when guests come over to better accompany her needs. She is very sensitive to sudden movements and loud noises, so I’ve become skilled in being aware of how to keep her calm & happy!
“We appreciate Rachael helping watch the cats while we're out of town. The cats enjoy the company. I also appreciated her suggestion of trying allergies meds for our one cat. We like to know that the cats are well cared for while we're gone.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own and other’s pets my entire life — and I know most people want this kind of experience for their pets. With a small sanctuary of my own, I know exactly what your sweet pets need while you’re away! Whether at my home or yours, they’ll be just like family to me. 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 have 4 cats of my own, and even more love to give surprisingly! My experience taking care of kitties will be exactly what you need while you’re away.
“I am Very pleased with the care Kristen provided my cats. In addition to feeding and attending litter box needs, she also took the time to sit with my cats and provide them with some love and attention. The pictures received after each visit were greatly appreciated and helped me not worry about as much about them.”
About: Growing up, outside of school I spent a good portion of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter and actively challenging kids around me to help provide care to pets in most need. Over the years, these experiences have translated into a unique skill set of tricks and techniques to provide your pet with the utmost attention and care they deserve. My goal is to offer any pet (cat, dog, any other small animal) under my supervision unparalleled quality of care and a loving home environment. My home is on a 4 Acre plot of land with a fenced yard. The fenced yard allows for free play at least once every 1-2 hours with my supervision. When on leash we can explore the other unfenced portion of the yard or neighborhood. Inside my home my wife and I have partitioned pet safe areas where they can freely roam. I have tons of toys for all sizes and want their stay to be a vacation for them. :) I have two small corgis that are extremely friendly and love to play with new friends. If bringing your animal to my residence is not convenient, I offer a pick up and drop off service for a round trip fee. My goal is to simplify your pet care needs, by providing unparalleled quality care, a loving home environment, and peace of mind that your family member is being taken care of by a loving family I work at home as a front-end software developer, my work schedule is flexible meaning I can provide as much attention as your pet deserves I have a climate controlled room that has doggy doors that allows them to free roam inside and in the yard (with supervision). Most services needed or requested can be accommodated. Pets are allowed to roam inside my home or in my yard with my supervision. I take dogs on at least 3 walks a day if weather permits. I can accommodate most requests I currently work a part-time job from home that allows for a ton of flexibility. That being said I have a ton of time to play with your pups and give them the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible and I seek to make things as convenient as possible for you. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that are always looking to make new friends. When boarding I make sure to keep a close eye on any pet in my supervision. I have spare crates, bowls, blankets, and a mountain of toys to play with. In the summertime I have dog pools, sprinklers, and lots of fun

“As always, our little Bailey had a wonderful time at doggie day care with Rachel and her furry friends. She always comes home tired but we know that's because she has enjoyed running and playing with her "pack". She knows when we turn onto Rachel's street that she is going to a place she loves.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“Tina was great! This was our first time with a new rover in a new city. She was very communicative, sent great photos, and flexible on a last minute booking. Her home has a great yard for a pup to roam. I would definitely book with her again. Felt very safe leaving our dog with her and her family :)”
About: Hi! My name is Logan and I reside in St Matthew’s. I’ve worked in pet care since age 12 with my childhood dog Lady. I now have only 1 pet (a cat named Big G) and have previously owned an Australian Shepard , exotic fish, and geckos . I love pets of all shapes and sizes and animals more broadly. What differentiates me from other pet sitters is my experience with high maintenance fish in addition to the usual suspects of dogs and cats . I am a substitute teacher with JCPS and have an afternoons and early mornings free for care. I have a flexible schedule and can make things work for your convenience. I typically visit clients home rather than host at my own residence . I am clean, prompt , and responsive when dealing with pets and their owners .
“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!”
“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!”
“Jewels was amazing with Mya and this was our first time getting a sitter and she eased my mind with leaving her. Mya had the best time and came home so happy!”
About: I have several years of working with, dogs, cats, as well as small animals such as hamsters, and bunnies. I am currently a veterinary student so I can also sit your animals like birds, reptiles, ect. I have a part time job that is extremely flexible and currently my classes are online with certain classes throughout the month where I have to physically be there. I will up date you with my schedule accordingly. Since I have this much flexibility I tend to say I’m free. :) I currently have a dog and two cats who are very friendly. My orange tabby is very shy so he runs and hides a lot but my other cat is very sweet and sociable. My dog is the same, he grew up around other smaller dogs and cats. He does have anxiety around bigger dogs so he’ll hide behind me when meeting one.
“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!”
“Meg took care of our 16 weeks pup, Sumo without any trouble. Not only that, I think Sumo had a great day at her place running around, and playing with Meg's dog. Communication with Meg was perfectly smooth. Very fast respond and flexible. We are glad we leave Sumo with her.”
“Max is awesome. Kept me informed daily of Etta’s day. He clearly loves dogs!! He is gentle and kind to my baby. She liked him right away. He even wrote a poem about her!! Just loved everything about this experience 💕”

“Desiree was available for a last-minute booking and was able to accommodate my work schedule. I look forward to working with Desiree into the future! I have a high energy pup and I was nervous about him being with a new walker, but it seems like they got along really well.”
“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.
About: I have been an animal lover, animal rescuer and pet care taker all my life. I have walked dogs, and cared for cats since I was a child. I currently have a special needs cat, plus two others high needs(spoiled) kitties. I have a good deal of experience medicating and caring for cats and dogs. I walk my parents’ dog for them daily. I took care of a neighbors cats for her while she was traveling for almost a year. Your animal babies will always be safe and cared for with me. I am currently an online ESL instructor for JCPS. I work from home part-time. I also need to be able to medicate my own epileptic kitty at 9 am and 9 pm every day. My schedule is very flexible around these reaponsibilities. I am an experienced, responsible and caring dog walker. I can provide pets with care and company in their homes in whatever way is the least disruptive and the most comforting to them.
“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.”
“Lauren is amazing! I have two dogs, a senior and a puppy, that have different needs. She worked with me to plan their walks and communicated wonderfully. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Lauren to help take care of your fur babies!!!”
About: I have been a kennel attendant since February of 2025 but I have been around animals my whole life I love creating a positive experience for your furry friend. I treat every pet as my own, keeping a safe and consistent routine. I can maintain high-energy pets with active play time enrichment along with maintaining a clean secure environment. I am vigilant in observing pets for any signs of distress. I follow pre-discussed plans, and immediately communicate any issues. I’m currently working a few days a week so I can stop in anytime after 6:30 everyday or we can set specific times on Tuesday Wednesday/Friday Saturday! I’m only available to clients homes. I constantly give owners updates as needed any laundry or extra task they ask to be completed gets done!
About: I have grown up around animals and have experience with elderly dogs and very anxious cats specifically. My two childhood puppies grew up and I helped assist with their needs, such as medicine and helping them walk around with patience. I also understand what it’s like to have a very anxious cat— mine is too. I have one cat, a fish, and a snail of my own now! I’m currently building my health coaching clientele working from home. I take frequent breaks to walk at the park and often spend the majority of the day working on various tasks at home. I’m very flexible with my schedule right now! Since I have an anxious and non-sociable cat of my own at home I will be more open to visits such as drop-in’s and taking fur babies out on walks at the park right now!
“Sam is always such a delight to work with. She’s flexible, communicative and so sweet. Scooter always seems to have such a good time with her!! She’s present and trustworthy as well.”
About: As a previously Licensed Veterinary Technician with more than 30 years of experience in veterinary medicine, I've cared for dogs of every breed, size, age, and personality—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special medical needs. I'm comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, and I am familiar with post-operative care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply spending time with a caring companion, I can match each visit to their individual needs and routine. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your best friend is in experienced hands. I am retired, so my scheule is very flexible for late morning, afternoon, and evening visits and walks. I can also do weekends and most holidays. I am unable to care for pets in my own home with 3 cats that are very content with the current housing situation and few guests.
About: I’ve owned a dog all of my adult life. I can’t imagine life without having to pick up dog poop daily. :) I was able to crate/potty train our puppy in less than a week! I’m also able to help train with basic commands. Your furry, cuddly love bug will be in good hands. I am a stay at home mom, so I am free anytime to let your fur babies out, take them for a walk, replenish their food and water and give extra cuddles while you’re away. I have a 5 and 3 year old who love our dog. They are very gentle with their furry sibling. Your pet will feel safe and have another furry playmate to play with. I can send pictures once a day so you don’t have to miss your baby too much.
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.
About: With 10+ years of hands-on dog sitting experience, I provide reliable in-home and overnight care. I’m experienced with administering medications, handling different energy levels, and maintaining structured routines. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and dogs a calm, comfortable experience. I work remotely, so I’m home during the day and able to supervise dogs closely. This makes me a great fit for puppies, seniors, or dogs who need extra attention. Weekend availability is wide open, and weekday bookings are accepted as my schedule allows. I provide a safe, structured home environment with a secure fenced yard. My two Golden Retrievers are extremely friendly, well-trained, and experienced around other dogs. I supervise all play, separate dogs when needed, and follow each owner’s feeding and safety guidelines closely. Clear communication and photo updates are always included.
“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!”
