About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“Stella looks forward to her stays with Andrew's family and Cosmo. I appreciate their time taking care of Stella when we can't. Peace of mind, for sure. Communication and feedback has been great! We are looking forward to our next stay!”
“Absolutely amazing. She kept me updated even when I couldn’t respond. She responds very quickly and she’s beyond nice and generous. 10/10 would recommend her. I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else with my dog after leaving him here. Thank you Natasha you’re amazing.”
“Emily and her husband were so nice and were perfect for my dog, Cassie. I got updates daily about her play and how she was doing along with pictures and videos. Their home is spacious, has a fenced in (good sized) backyard with lots of room for playtime! My girl did great with her dogs who were also very good hosts. I am already in talks with Emily about watching my girl again in a few months for our next trip. Highly recommend.”

Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated!

I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”

My pup had a great experience and we can’t wait to be return visitors. Two paws up and all of our thanks to Jennifer!”

Andrew sent us pictures throughout Bear’s visit and our boy looked very happy. I appreciate Andrew’s quick and thoughtful responses to my text messages. We’d definitely use him again for watching Bear.”
“I’m so grateful for Dina! She took in my two dogs while I was away for a week and they were comfortable and content when I picked them up. One of my dogs is reactive and Dina and her family handled her flawlessly. Dina’s knowledge of dogs and their body language was a blessing! Thank you!”

“Julie is very experienced with animal care, and she put me completely at ease during my first time using Rover. She was professional and friendly and answered all of my questions. The updates she provided for each drop-in visit were not only thorough about the tasks completed, but included commentary about my cat that reassured me kitty was in the hands of someone confident, patient, and appreciative of all animals in her care. Although my cat's needs were unremarkable, I would have trusted Julie to provide more complicated care, and would definitely book her again for any kind of petsitting. Thank you, Julie, you were wonderful!”
“Kelli was great! She cared for our cats for 8 days while we were out of town and the difference between this trip and others was astounding. Usually our cats are irritable and moody when we get back, but this time they were by far the calmest and happiest they've ever been after a trip. She sent us updates and pictures of them playing or eating everyday.”
“Cat was so great watching our cats for a few days on somewhat late notice. She was attentive to messages and gave frequent updates. When we came back our cats were completely unbothered by us being gone for the long weekend! Would recommend and use again.”

“Rhianna has been doing drop-in visits for our 3-month old puppy and it's been great! She always responds quickly, comes on time, and plays a lot with our energetic fur baby. From the pictures she sends us, it is clear that our puppy is having a great time and and loves to play with her. We appreciate her very much!”
“Bree did such a great job looking after my little Karma! She looked happier and more at ease than she ever has compared to when I’ve come back from other trips and I think that says a lot about how she was taken care of. I loved all the daily photos with each check in as well. Thank you, Bree!”
“Sarah was again amazing with our kitties! I loved how we could tell how more comfortable they were with having her around again which really helped set our minds at ease. She charmed and cared wonderfully for both of our sweet babies!!”
“Lindsey took good care of our cats with drop-in visits while we were away! I could see from photos that my rather skittish cats were comfortable around her, which set my mind at ease. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Mary was a wonderful sitter, she allowed us to have an stress-free vacation & we are truly thankful. She was communicative, friendly, and provided us nice updates on our kitties. Hope to use Mary again in the future for our vacation needs”
“Kara took wonderful care of my cat! This was my first time leaving my cat alone for more than a day so I was nervous. But Kara was very knowledgeable and took her time until my cat felt comfortable and safe and gave her a lot of pets and playtime. Will definitely be booking again for my next trip!”
“Angelee was super responsive and gave us lots of updates during our trip out of town this holiday season. We will definitely be requesting her help again! Thank you!”
“Alicia was great! Leche, our cat immediately took to her & it was very reassuring to leave our her & our home in Alicia’s hands. Alicia sent us messages with pictures of Leche & was very responsive to any communications. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”

“Ashtin & Jenison are awesome! This is my second time booking with them to watch my cat, Duchess. I always get lots of photos and Duchess looks very happy. They even brought in a laser toy for her! They helped me out with last minute requests and also with two extensions on my last visit. They are super friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat. i will definitely book with them again!”
About: My husband and I are experienced pet lovers who would be honored to care for your best friend! We are experienced with dogs, cats, senior dogs, and puppies. Our beloved beagle, Huckleberry, passed away earlier this year - and spent the final years of his life battling a variety of diseases, so we know how stressful it can be finding a sitter you feel confident leaving your fur baby with when their "instruction manual" has grown in size. We have experience with special needs, strict diets, oral medications, SQ fluids, and much more. We treat dogs like human members of the family here, and rest assured we will get them the absolute best care. They deserve it! I work from home, so I am home almost always. My husband is a nurse, and though humans are his expertise, those skills can come in handy! Our home has a fenced in yard for roaming, no kids and no other pets at this time. We have plenty of couches, beds, bean bags, etc. for your dog to relax and unwind. We prefer to take one dog at a time, unless they are from the same family/already know each other. We will follow your dog's instructions thoroughly and keep them on their regular routine. We will be sure to send updates and plenty of photos. Our goal is your peace of mind! I work from home, so rest assured I will be with your pet almost always. I have plenty of time for walks and breaks outside, and will have an eye on your dog all day while I work. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space in our home. Your pet will get all the attention - we do not have any other pets or children. We will follow your pet's routine - whether that's snuggling in bed with us every night or sleeping in their crate.

“Andrew and family were great with Stella! She and Cosmo played together so much they just chilled out the rest of the afternoon. We are looking forward to our next stay!”
About: I’ve always had a love for all animals it doesn’t matter what animal they are. When I was 13 I was put in foster care and my first home was at a horse farm and I absolutely loved it grooming,feeding, and riding the horses. My chores were to walk the dogs, feed the dogs, bath the dogs, and also groom the dogs. I love and enjoy the company of my furry friends. All animals are welcome to stay with me and get the same love and care that they get at home. I’m also willing to travel however far away you are. I also really like it if I have a list of routines that your animal does so I can keep them on schedule. If you have one.

About: My name is Vivi (she/her)! I have been watching, sitting and walking dogs for over four years. I have a keen sense of animal personality and behaviour and have always enjoyed being around them. I've been known by many as *the* dog whisperer--you're in excellent hands here! I live with my friends downtown, but return to my parents house for dog care. Someone's always home for bookings. I work on my own projects between interacting with dogs, and I can take a break at any time. I have a karate class on Mondays and Thursdays, during which I hand off work to one of my parents for just a bit. Your pets are always in good hands here! I believe in being careful with pets and that they should be comfortable with their environment. The best interactions come from mutual trust between pet and caretaker.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.
About: I absolutely love dogs! Since I can’t have one while in college, pet sitting gives me the perfect opportunity to spend time with them. I have experience caring for my family’s dogs and would love to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care! I am a student at UK so I try to fit it into my schedule when I can! I dog sit on the side because I love it! I am open to caring for the dog however the owner needs me to! I am willing to take them to a park, give meds, go on walks, etc.

About: My family has had dogs since before I was born. We have had labs, mutts, pitbulls, and any other breed the humane society found for us. We are a family of foster fails, but have so much love for our furry found family. One of our pitbulls at home is a certified therapy dog thanks to countless hours my sister spent at trainings (and I happened to also attend because she needed a ride). I am also lucky enough to have a personal dog-trainer on call if needed, and I have had my fair share of experiences with giving dogs any medications they may need. I am excited to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you get the time off that you deserve. I have dog-sat for puppy and senior St. Bernard’s as well as sheep dogs, little dogs, and every dog in-between. I am unemployed, so I have plenty of hours in the day to care for your furry friend. I just graduated college with a bachelors in Biology, and am taking a gap year before starting up vet school. When I am not pet-sitting, I am volunteering at Lexington humane society. So my schedule is flexible and I am more than happy to work around what you and your pet need. I have a fenced back yard that I like to let the dogs play in. I’ll usually take the dogs on a walk in the morning and then the evening. In between, if the dog is up to it, we’ll spend some time outside maybe throwing a ball or favorite toy. I usually ask that the owner gets a list together for their dog’s daily schedule, so I can keep the dog’s life as normal and comfortable as possible. The list I ask for usually includes what time meals are, when the dogs go out, how often you want them exercising, what meds are needed, how long you’ll need me, etc. It all just depends on what you as the owner are looking for.

Here’s why she’s great: · Dependable: She is on time and reliable. · Caring & Attentive: She genuinely loves my dogs and pays close attention to their needs and behavior. · Excellent Communication: After every walk, she takes the time to tell me how they did and shares any details. · Handles Large Breeds: She is confident and wonderful with my big, sometimes stubborn, bloodhound and energetic lab. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a first-rate dog walker!”
“Taylor has been taking care of our brand new Coonhound, and she has been so patient and easygoing with our sweet pup who's kinda anxious and settling in. She came over every day this week and we booked her again for the upcoming week! And as a new dog owner, I especially appreciate that she texts me regularly and keeps me updated about how Buster Posey is when she gets there and how did he on his walks.”
About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I'm a recent UofL grad and love meeting new furry friends! I’ve been around animals my whole life, as I grew up with both cats and dogs, and began caring for neighbors’ pets at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve had years of experience with house sitting, daily walks, and drop-in visits for neighbors and family friends, often working through word of mouth and personal recommendations. I’ve worked as both a stay-in pet sitter and a weekly dog walker, and I love making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, high-energy animals, and senior pets with special needs, and am comfortable adapting to a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and attention to care when it comes to treating animals with the patience, love, and respect they need.🩷 I am currently on my gap year between undergraduate and medical school, so pet care will be my full time job! I am able to stay the majority of the day at client's homes if needed, but may need to step out for an hour or two to get food and/or groceries for my stay. Feel free to discuss your pet's schedule with me, and we can figure out a plan that works for everyone! I always try to meet with the family before sitting or dropping-in so that I understand how any pets are used to their home feeling. I will follow all instructions left by the owners, and try to keep a loving and clean environment for the animals. I also try to be very communicative with owners about any questions or concerns, and will gladly provide daily pictures/videos of animals to the owners. I also love playing with animals and making sure they get enough activity so they can get some fresh air and love! Additionally, I am a pre-medical student and have many hours of emergency experience with basic life support (BLS) and have taken a veterinary BLS course. I know how to administer CPR and perform the Heimlich maneuver on cats and dogs. I also have experience administering injected medication and subcutaneous fluids to cats and dogs. (I do not have experience administering care to additional animals at this time.) I also look up the closest veterinary ER prior to a stay, and am prepared to drive any animals in case of an emergency.

Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
“Brian clearly treated our beagle very well! He gave her plenty of exercise (which she needs), and kept us appraised on how she was doing. A very good caregiver, all in all!”
“Jennifer is a true gem. Being new to the area, my dogs stay with her was the first with a new Rover and it couldn’t have gone better. Jennifer is kind, attentive and communicative. My pup had a great experience and we can’t wait to be return visitors. Two paws up and all of our thanks to Jennifer!”
About: As a dog owner and foster, I have experience caring for senior dogs, nervous rescues, and multiple dogs at once. I prioritize individualized care, patience, and creating a stress-free environment. I work from home full-time, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship so pets feel safe and comfortable. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I follow their established routine for meals, walks, exercise, and rest. I provide attentive care, patience, and an stress-free environment while making sure owners stay updated. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and two senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.
“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
“Nathan is great! He kelp my Pitt Krystee for seven days. Each day he sent videos and pictures of how she was doing! He treated Krystee as if she was his own! I highly recommend Nathan for pet sitting, and will use Nathan again next month when I go out of town again! Thank you Nathan for taking such good care of Krystee!!!”
About: I have always had dogs and loved them! I have pet sat anything from dogs to donkeys. I am ok with potty training, as I taught my own puppy!! short drop ins, long hours, overnight, I’ll do it all. I would love to help out your family💙 I have a very flexible schedule with class, and am available during the workday (and overnight)!! I can drop in to let the pooch out, or stay and let them get some energy out:) I am a great rule follower! If you have special instructions I will be sure to follow them closely. With having years and years of experience not only pet sitting, but fostering, and even owning my own dog, I can problem solve lots of the time aswell!!
“My dog, Bowser had a great stay with Kath & Jordan! They were very communicative throughout the stay and I was confident he was in good hands, giving me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend them and would love to board with them again in the future!”
About: When I was around four, I started to go across the street and cat-sit for this empty-nest couple. They were older, and so they wanted to travel more. The lady owned two cats, a Birman and an Oriental Shorthair. The lady used to take them to cat shows, and they were her most prized possession. They had grandkids to see and wanted to explore as many different countries as they could. They used to say, "Maggie, you are so convenient, and I am glad that you are here so we can leave and do things that we love more often." My mom never once told me to go and do my job. I woke up and was ready to go see Bootsy and Bella. They moved when I was 16, and I was their sitter until the day they left. I realized that for people to do the things they loved, they needed an easy, stress-free, and affordable sitter for their animals. Anyway, I started a show kennel for my Italian Greyhounds because of her, and now this is my full-time gig. I run a full-time boarding and daycare facility at my house. I am open for boarding and daycare 7 days a week. I own show dogs, and so I am home training and working on my websites while the dogs have multiple areas and an outdoor fenced area to play. I work on my computer for 3-5 hours a day and play with and walk the dogs while I rotate in between that. I take lots of pictures during the day and have an instagram that I post them on. The dogs rotate among the kitchen, the basement, and the outdoor enclosure. All dogs have access to water 24/7. The outdoor enclosure has a roof, and I run a fan when it is hot, in accordance with USDA guidelines. If the weather is bad, I walk the dogs or just let them play together in the basement or kitchen.
“Laura was really great and he was super happy when I picked him up. She consistently sent me status and photos of him. She also really enjoyed having him there and that means the world to me. I will always want him to be there first.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my childhood I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, parrots and fish in all stages of life. I’ve learned to cater to every need because of this, as every pet needs something specific to their age, size and personality. I can handle pets of all sizes and energy levels, and will treat each just as I would one of my own. I’m a full-time college student home for Summer break, and I have a very open schedule that I would love to fill surrounded by fur babies. I’d like to make pet sitting my full-time job for the season, so I have lots of flexibility and availability. I have a large fully fenced in back yard and live in close proximity to a dog park. I currently have one of my own super friendly dogs at home, and I have plenty of space to welcome yours, and/or separate them comfortably if needed for whatever reason.
“Audrey and Samuel did a great job caring for my puppy! She was exhausted when we picked her up so I think she had a lot of fun! They also offered to do a meet-and-great which is great.”
