“Heather and Chris have a pleasant and welcoming home and tended to my dogs needs appropriately. They are very friendly and professional. It shows that they are experienced.

I highly recommend Heather and Chris, and thank them for caring for my husky.”

“Bayley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town!

It was such a relief to know our fur babies were in good hands so we could enjoy our trip :)”

“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”

About: I've been in the house/pet sitting business for a couple years now. I've worked in houses with anywhere between one animal to seven animals! I also provide exotic pet care as I have a few of my own. Along with this, I worked in a zoo for 4 years so I've had many different experiences. I have been known to get along with cats that may be a bit standoffish, and don't mind if they want little to no interaction. It's a superpower of mine. I look forward to meeting your babies:)
“Brittney is my go-to cat sitter, my cats are so much calmer and happier when she has cared for them while I am away. She is trustworthy, reliable and easy to reach. One of my cats is very shy but comes out for Brittney. My other cat gets a medicated cream on her ear and Brittney has made sure she gets this medication. And she takes wonderful pictures! 😻😻”
About: I was raised in the country so there was always a cat around doing their job. I have had all sorts of cats-healthy, ill, chatty, silent, social, antisocial, anxious, adventurous. My last cat was a sweet prince with alot of health issues, so I am familiar with administering medication and detailed feeding instruction.

“Really grateful to Makenzie for stopping by to take care of my fur babies. She kept in contact with me to let me know what was going on, wrote notes on everything she did and gave my babies attention and fed them while I was out of town. She was nice enough to do a meet and greet before I left so I could make sure my big dog would be alright and he immediately wanted her attention when she walked in my door. Will 100% book with her again!”
“Stellar caretaking! Mallory was prompt and great at giving pictures, updates, etc. She is a true animal lover who wants to make sure both you and your pets are comfortable.

“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.”
“Eliane was so great! Bumi seemed like he had lots of fun and was well cared for. She was great at communicating and letting me know details of Bumi's stay when I picked him up. Would definitely have her watch him again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 16, I’ve worked in several animal hospitals. With the knowledge I’ve learned from working there, I am a great option from all other sitters. I’ve also worked at Chewy Pharmacy, a pet pharmacy. I learned a lot about pet medication of all kind. I currently dog walk as a side job. In the very near future, I want to make this a full time job. I am up before the sun rises and am not done until the moon has completely risen, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I take them out to potty at least four times a day. I feed them twice a day. With pets, I also work on weight management, weighing them once a week. I also walk them at least 3 times a day.

About: I've been in the house/pet sitting business for a couple years now. I've worked in houses with anywhere between one animal to seven animals! I am absolutely open to exotic pets as well as I have a few of my own and would love to meet different species. I also worked in a zoo for 4 years, and currently work in a vets office, so I have plenty of different experiences. I look forward to meeting your babies:) I currently work at a vets office Thursday-Saturday from 9am-5:30pm (1pm on Saturdays), and volunteer Sunday nights, so I would unfortunately not be able to provide around the clock care. Otherwise, I am at the home all day! I am open to frequent walks, brushing, bathing, giving medication, and any other specific needs for your pet! I understand how tedious and picky some animals tend to be, so I'm open to any accommodations necessary.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old! Between looking after my own dog and my family's, I have the experience and love to make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve! I'm a middle school teacher in the Louisville area, so weekends are the best for house sitting and longer watching periods! During the weekday afternoons, I would love to help check in, play with your pup, or give them a nice long walk! Communication is the most important thing. I will always follow the wishes of the owner to make sure your pets are cared for in the most consistent way possible. Your boundaries are mine, and I always act in the best interest of you and your pets!
About: Been familiar with dogs and cats (and sometimes amphibians) most of my life, and currently sitting at 42 yrs young, that's quite the employment history! :) I am professional, punctual, effective, efficient, reasonable (willing and able) and exceptionally passionate about caring for and meeting the needs of your pets. Most importantly and luckily for you :), I am a certified pet service enthusiast and also specialize in pet behavioral training so that your furry companion(s) can truly give you joy! I am avaliable Mon-fryday anytime after 3pm and every other Saturday. I hibernate on Sunday:) But that doesn't mean we can't schedule something for next week! I will come to you. No need to transit to me. Keep that gas of yours in your tank:) Your pet will be fed, walked (or let out), loved on, learn new skills and be kept to your approval
About: I have had fur babies all my life. From puppy stage to senior care. They are truly part of the family. I look forwards to loving on yours I have the please of working from home, fitting your pet into my daily routine would be identical to how I am able to send time with my own. I have a huge fenced in yard. I have one fur baby he is a bernedoodle who is turning two at the end of this year. He gets along great with other dogs and enjoys the company. So I am able to provide each pet with the love they need I have very limited space on how many dogs I will keep at once. If your pet enjoys walks, we will go on walks, enjoy fetch in the backyard, we will play fetch in the back yard. Your pet is part of my family once you guys enter my home. I do have children who love to run around with animals also.
“Janelle was the kindest, sweetest walker! Although I wasn't home at the time, my mom said Janelle noticed Xylo had a lot of energy, and automatically started running with her!! I loved how in tune she was with her!! Highly recommended!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting dogs and cats since my early teens. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including diabetic dogs requiring insulin injections, blind dogs, pets with seizures, and dogs with mobility and potty issues. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra patience and attention to senior pets or those needing specialized care. I’ve also fostered dogs and cats through my local shelter, caring for everything from puppies and kittens learning the ropes to senior dogs needing diapers and additional support. My experience fostering has helped me become adaptable, calm, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, Murphy and Lucky, they are my whole heart and I love every pet I care as if they were part of my family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work overnight shifts from 9pm–5am, Monday-Friday, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule. I’m able to adjust my sleep schedule as needed, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care. In my home, I do my best to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, cared for, and entertained. I have a fully fenced-in yard that backs up to a park, which gives dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a separate guest room available if an owner prefers their pet to have their own quiet space during their stay with us. I understand that every pet has different routines and comfort levels, so I try to keep their schedule as consistent as possible with feeding times, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I’m happy to accommodate senior pets, puppies, and pets with medical or mobility needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping up with their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I always treat both pets and homes with respect and care, and I know how important communication and reliability are while you’re away from your pets. I love to send parent’s updates on their babies and we can work out details on how frequently you would like pictures sent!
About: My beloved family dog passed away right before COVID and left a animal shaped hole in my heart. I’ve been watching dogs ever since and love enjoying all their different personalities. If you’re looking for someone to absolutely love on your pet, I’m your gal. I’m extremely flexible and understand that everyone prefers to raise their pets differently and I will respect all those needs during my time with your pet. I am open to most any accommodations needed. I love going on walks, runs, and hikes with the active dogs but I also LOVE being cozy in the house with sleepier pets. At the end of the day I’m just a girl that wants to love on your pet as much as you do! I am a local graphic designer. I have the convenient ability to work from home when desired so my weekday and weekend schedule is flexible. I live in a home without a fenced in backyard but am in walking distance to a park. I do live with my boyfriend and he is always begging me to watch more dogs so he will provide extra EXTRA loving on top of my own. As for house sitting I always respect your space and always try to leave it better than when I came.
About: I have many years of experience caring for friendly dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m patient, loving and responsible, and I make sure each dog feels safe, calm and happy while their owners are away. I do walks, feeding, playtime and follow any routine you need. I also care for small pets in cages or terrariums, such as hamsters, rabbits, hedgehogs, geckos, small lizards and similar animals. Their care is simple but important, and I always keep their water, food and space clean and safe. I work part-time, so I have flexible availability during afternoons, evenings and weekends. Your pet will always receive attention, affection and the routine you request. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a lot of flexibility to take care of and play with your pets. I am available during the week in the afternoons and evenings, and on weekends I have more open hours for walks, visits or longer stays. I always make sure to organize my time so that your pets receive all the attention and affection they need. The safety and comfort of pets is my priority. In your home I always follow your instructions to maintain your routines, while in mine I offer a clean, safe and loving space. I make sure they have fresh water, regular walks and constant supervision. I can also administer food or medicines according to the indications. My goal is that your furry ones feel calm and happy, and that you have the confidence that they are in good hands
About: I have over 7 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from small breed seniors to high-energy breeds. Jinger (My own pup) is a 6-year-old Female Malinois-Lab mix, so I’m especially familiar with energetic dogs who need structure, attention, and enrichment to thrive. Over the years, I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, rescues, and dogs with unique needs—including leash reactivity, anxiety, and medical routines. The wonderful folks at Southside pet shop had taught me Animal Husbandry by the book (literally). During my time there I had taken care of a wide variety of pets in a professional setting. I comfortable caring cats, and exotic pets too- I am more than at home in a multi-pet household. I ALWAYS approach every pet with patience and empathy. I understand that every animal is different, so I change my care-style (never quality!) to match their needs—whether that’s a long walk, playtime, cuddles or medical needs. If you need drop-in visits, house sitting, or just someone to give your dog an afternoon potty break, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and loved. You can expect daily updates and plenty of photos, Rest assured! Pet sitting is my full-time profession and passion, alongside my work as a freelance artist. I have professional experience in animal husbandry; I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care. I enjoy doing both traditional and digital art; my favorite are pet portraits! If there is downtime while I am petsitting, I’m usually doing art! In both my own home and when caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the owners instructions, because I understand this routine is in place to keep them comfortable, and healthy. This includes using toys, treats and games to make their day rewarding and fun. Maintaining a clean environment is a top priority; food and water bowls are washed regularly and I always make sure each pet is fed according to their specified guidelines.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds ever since I was roughly 13 years old, and am also able to administer medications to animals. Family members, friends, and referrals/new friends have trusted me with their pets time and time again because I genuinely enjoy spending time with and taking care of their critters as if they’re my own! I also have experience with farm/unique animals like chickens, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, etc., and I have experience caring for epileptic dogs, as well as senior animals! I can ALWAYS promise to treat your babies like they’re my own, and to ensure they get the best of care. My availability is quite flexible, and I typically have the ability to run over and do house visits or walks as often as they are needed, and I’m able to provide housesitting services, too! I unfortunately am unable to host animals in my home due to rules against it (I’m a renter). I apologize in advance if this causes any kind of inconvenience. But I’m able to happily provide housesitting/petsitting services at my clients homes.
About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! Ever since I was a child, I've had a very strong connection with the furry friends around me! I always take the extra time to learn as much as I can about a pet's habits, likes/dislikes, etc. It's my personal goal to make the world a better place for every person (and pet) around me :) My schedule is currently wide open, so I can work with almost any time frame that works for you! I am looking to make animal care my full time career! At my own home, I have a fenced-in yard and a very loving and playful canine companion who is always ready to meet new friends! I have a wealth of experience when it comes to helping animals feel safe and secure.

“First time pet owner here! My 9 month year old pup eased right in with Dierdre and Raymond. They are loving and kind. Their years of experience was evident. They will always be my go to sitters!”
“Ebony was wonderful. Responded very quickly and made sure I was updated about my dog throughout my trip. My dog was extremely comfortable with her the entire time.”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“5 stars is an understatement. I wish I can give more. She was great, with agreeing to a greet and meet. Sending daily pictures, and understanding his routine. This was the first time we left our Whiskey with anyone that was not a friend or family, and I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter then Val. I’m forever grateful for caring and spoiling my boy, Val. Fun fact: Val, was practicing her Spanish with Whiskey 🤭”
“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”
“Heather and Chris have a pleasant and welcoming home and tended to my dogs needs appropriately. They are very friendly and professional. It shows that they are experienced. They sent photos every day Walt stayed with them and it was apparent that he was well cared for. He did escape their back yard once, as a huskey would, but they were quick to recover him and keep me in the loop about it all. They offer full transparency and are wonderful people. I highly recommend Heather and Chris, and thank them for caring for my husky.”
“Dewey loved his stay with Elizabeth and Phillip. I am so thankful for the positive experience and prompt communication. I highly recommend their services.”
“Melody was great with Gus. He had a good time and she took great care of him. She sent pictures every day. She has an easy pickup and drop off system. We definitely recommend using Melody!”
“George and Erin took great care of my dog. They have an INCREDIBLE space for dogs to run and be free. I got regular updates, and their communication was always prompt. Thank you both!”
“Beth was so responsive and provided great detail into any message she sent regarding Ivan. I never once had to message her first to ask how he was doing. She made sure to send me lots of messages and lots of photos and I felt very comfortable leaving Ivan in her care. would highly recommend her I cannot say enough good things.”
“Ryo was fantastic with our Beagle, Maple. He was incredibly patient and kind and made our dog feel right at home. We would love to work with him again in the future!”
“Well wut can I say, besides these two were heaven sent, & we dnt play about heaven or Hershee!👀😂 But no seriously, Hershee (our black lab) had just turned 4 yrs old (Aug 21st) the day b4 we found the app & dropped him off to these beautiful folks, Jeremy & Laura (& their sweet sweet little bundle!).. Being that this was our 1st vacay away & Hershee's very 1st time w/out us in his 4 yrs of life, I think it's fair to say we were all a lil nervous at first (especially leaving him w/almost perfect strangers). Except Jeremy & Laura were no strangers at all, not to Hershee anyway! The way they opened their arms, home, & hearts to him, w/zero hesitation! This in fact, helped to lift our reluctant hearts as it pertained to leaving him ANYwhere (as 1st timers we didn't really kno wut to expect). But these two most def put to rest any apprehension we may have had due to our lack of experience w/any app regarding pup sitting. All in all, they kept us updated of his every like & dislike from the jump, only he didn't have any dislikes!😂 Hershee apparently felt right at home the moment the door was opened & he spotted their little one!🫶🏾 It was all giggles & plenty of kisses from that point!☺️ Laura & Jeremy's home was more than welcoming & inviting, which was great bcuz again, Hershee is known to b a bit anxious when it comes to unfamiliar surroundings/ ppl. However, these good ppl were very familiar to him, bcuz I think he seen just that (the good in them!) Thank u Laura & Jeremy for being everything we needed for Hershee over the weekend, & giving us the peace of mind to just BE & just enjoy ourselves while we were away!🫶🏾”
