About: I have cared for cats my entire life - seniors, anxious cats, cuddly cats, aggressive cats, cats with medical issues & allergies. I understand each cat has a unique personality and quirks, with their own needs and wants. I am passionate about providing the best personalized care for each purr-fect kitty cat!

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, misting stations, and climate controlled spaces for them to take breaks from playing.

Catherine really is great at what she does and I would not hesitate to use her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Sam — a reliable pet caregiver with 116+ 5⭐ reviews, flexible scheduling, and a big heart for animals! I’ve been a dog walker + drop-in sitter for about 2 years, and pets bond to me quickly. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, affection, and lots of attention to safety. 🐾 What I offer: • Dog walking (short + long walks available) • Drop-in visits (feeding, potty breaks, playtime) • Medication given if needed • Puppy care + senior pet patience • Updates + photos every visit 📸 • Last-minute/same-day bookings welcome I love meet-and-greets, but I’m also happy to step in when you need help quickly. My goal is for you to travel or work stress-free, knowing your fur baby is safe, loved, and entertained. Experience: I’ve raised and owned 3 dogs over the years and currently share life with 3 hilarious cats who think they're dogs. Animals have been a major source of joy my whole life — caring for them feels natural, not like work. 💛 A typical visit/walk: We’ll get movement, sniff breaks, playtime, cuddles, fresh water, treats (if allowed!), and mental stimulation. I can reinforce training methods you’re working on too. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first — tell me their quirks, favorite toys, and any rules you’d like followed. I’m here to make your baby feel safe and happy while you’re away. 🐶 Let’s schedule a meet + greet — I’d love to care for your furry family member! I work from home, which lets me offer flexible visit times for walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care — and I do my best to accommodate same-day requests whenever possible. Safety and communication are top priorities for me. I love doing meet & greets so I can learn your pet’s routine, personality, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I follow your home guidelines, provide photo updates during visits, and ensure your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved every time.

“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.”
“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”
