“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.”
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“Missy was excellent with my girls. She was patient and loving, even during a stressful time. She was very flexible and accommodating with my weird scheduling needs for drop off and pickup as well. I definitely recommend her dog sitting services!”
“Ryo was great with Piper. They provided updates and pictures throughout our trip. I could tell that Piper enjoyed himself as well, upon his return home. I will definitely refer Ryo to other friends and family looking for a sitter.”
“It was wonderful to have Lori watch our dog Zelda while we were away! She set up a meet beforehand to ensure our dogs got along. She was great at communicating, and easy to schedule the meet, drop-off, and pick-up. She took excellent care of Zelda! We would definitely recommend and use her services again.”
“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!🫶🏾”
“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”
“Bella Rose enjoyed her time with George and Erin, we truly appreciate you two for taking great care of her and making us comfortable about leaving her.”
“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.”
“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”
“My dog had a blast with Aspen and her family. She sent me a ton of pics and updates. It’s so relieving to not have to think about him at all while I’m out of town.”
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“Cody took excellent care of our dog Finn. He agreed to meet us beforehand so Finn could be introduced to him and his space before we totally dropped him off. Cody took daily pics and updates on how he was doing and made Finn feel right at home. Will definitely book with Cody again!”
“She did an amazing job looking after our girl over 4th of July weekend. Couldn't recommend Jen enough. Will definitely be requesting her again in the future.”
“Valerie was amazing with my dog. She gets extremely anxious and has bad separation anxiety and Valerie quickly made her feel right at home. When we came to pick her up, she didn’t get excited or pull on her leash to come to me, which is usually what she will do! I would definitely use Valerie again and so should you!!!”
“Brenda was great! She sent many pictures and videos of my dog during her stay which helped to ease my mind. My dog had a great time playing with the other doggies there and was honestly sad to come home! I would definitely book with Brenda again.”

“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 :)”
“Debbie did an amazing job cat sitting my two cats for a week! Everything was just the way we left it. She took plenty of pictures and followed directions with how to feed our cats. Definitely recommend her and scheduling her again in the future!”
“I was really nervous using a pet service. I met Brenda once early on for a introduction and felt at ease right away. Brenda also came a couple of days before I left to go over details. While I was away, I forgot a few things like my mail and she did what I had asked. She was very gracious with updates and lots of pictures and even videos. I came home to happy ? ?. Brenda did excellent caring and loving my babies while I was gone and now I know I can go and do things and not worry about my babies. Brenda thanks again for all you did.”

About: I've been surrounded by cats since I was a little girl. We had two cats, Sanchez and Diego, in my childhood home, and barn cats in the stable where I took lessons. When I turned nine, we adopted my kitty Sirius, and Macbeth came a few years later. I don't mind to get down with a litter box, and have administered flea medications in every form. I'm happy to play, snuggle, or sit in silence with your baby!
“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!!”

“Absolutely some of the best caretaking Charlie has had! Lori was great with Charlie. We met beforehand with her sweet pup to make sure the dogs would get along, and I really appreciated her thoroughness and quick communication. During his stay, Charlie got to run around and play with other dogs at her home and her family’s farm, but also had time to rest and relax. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up and slept the whole way home! 10/10 would recommend Lori!!”
“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: Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.
“Ami was so kind and trustworthy, she took amazing care of my dog and I would highly recommend her to anyone anytime. She sent plenty of pics and videos - your dog couldn’t be in safer hands.”
“Christina was incredibly accommodating, and took excellent care of Lillian, who was a little stressed over being someplace new for the first time. Wish I lived in the area so I could book her again; Christina was excellent and communicates well (and sent photos during the stay, which was a bonus!)”
“Kimba had a great time with Kaitlyn. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Kaitlyn is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Kaitlyn. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”
“Jeremy was amazing! We were traveling through Louisville for the first time and he was able to watch our dogs while we attended the event. Super good with the dogs, gave them plenty of attention and exercise, and even gave us parking and food tips for the night. Couldn’t recommend more!”

We received pictures and videos of her playing and living her best life. We felt totally at ease and relaxed knowing our little Willi was in great hands.”

“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’ve taken care of animals my entire life! I have 2 cats of my own—both rescues! I love them with everything in me! I worked in animal hospitals as a vet tech for over 4 years as well as volunteering at Second Chances Wildlife Center. I’m very skilled at injections, administering medication, nail trims, giving fluids, whatever you need. I have exotic experience as well. I’ve worked with Avians, reptiles, rodents, all the above 💖 I currently work from home as a content creator designing clothes and editing videos for social media so I can work anywhere. I stay home with my pets all day everyday unless I’m at my part time gardening job :) Animals are always 100% my top priority. I strive to make sure they are always happy and healthy! I don’t want to disrupt their routine in any way. I want the pets I watch to be comfortable and stress free!
About: I've, truly, never met a dog that didn't love me, and vice versa. My first dog, Patty, was a stray my big brother brought home, and he, my sister, and I, hid her upstairs, afraid our parents wouldn't let us keep her. She was quickly discovered as she escaped and ran wildly through the house with the three of us chasing her. She was our puppy, and that was the beginning of my love affair with animals. A known pet whisperer and rescuer, strangers would knock on our door when I was growing up, ask if I was home, then hand me a kitty or puppy in need, saying that they had heard I would take care of it. And I always did. I was blessed with compassionate, pet loving parents who knew the value that animals can add to a family, in helping children learn responsibility, patience and empathy, and to know what it feels like to have unconditional love. I carried that tradition on when rearing my own children on five, wooded acres in Oldham County. At one glorious point in time, we had rescued 5 dogs, 5 cats and added 2 baby pygmy goats to our menagerie. We even added a 6th dog, when actress Jennifer Lawrence's mom, Karen, needed to rehome her son's large Dalmation Boxer mix, when he moved to Chicago. Karen said she had pondered over the best home for the pooch, and thought, "If I was a dog, who would I want to live with? Greylyn! She's the best pet mama in the world!" It won me over immediately. All of our extended fur family were always happy, healthy and loved completely. The vet would come to our home, lining up 10 or more sets of shots on the kitchen table when it was vaccination time. We, also, initiated a rotating reward system that we refered to as"Dog of the Day", so that each pup could get extra special treatment on at least one day of the week. Although they all may have some similar characteristics, every dog has its own unique personality. I've dealt with every imaginable idiosyncrasie, and I celebrate the differences. I'm firm enough to help train them, fun enough to play and romp, and free enough to cuddle with them on furniture. HOME ALL DAY! I create from home, so I'm available to accommodate any special needs your pup may have. 'Going to Greylyn's', will be like going to visit 'Nana: the Dog', from 'Peter Pan'--a lot of fun and love and magic and attention. Except, I'm not a dog. And I promise not to let them fly off to Neverland... at least not on the first visit. SCENE: YOU and YOUR DOG at home. YOU: (on your device, searching,discovering, and, reading aloud: YOU: "COZY APARTMENT INSIDE A SERENE, ENCLOSED, COURTYARD/BEAUTIFUL PARK OUT THE FRONT DOOR/OTHER FUZZY FRIENDS TO PLAY WITH/BE SURE TO LET US KNOW IF YOUR DOG HAS A BIRTHDAY! YOUR DOG: (panting, lots of tail wagging in excitement) "Ruff Woof! Ruff Woof!!! WOW!! Take me THERE, (YOUR name)!!!! Pa-leeeese!! Please please pleasepkeeezzzeee! Take me there, (YOUR name)!!! THAT'S where I want to go!!! I want to go to Auntie Greylyn's!!" (more panting & drooling. more excitement) (DISCLAIMER: No Dog Actors were used in this dialogue. Real Dogs were compensated with milk bones in exchange for their testimony)Your dog can feel free to make themselves at home inside, and, safely go through the private court yard for active walks in the park, when needed. If your pet is crate trained, and, prefers that, please bring one along. We will always be on leash outside for our walks. Your furry friend can look forward to being "Dog of the Day" every time they come to play or have a sleep over.
“Breanna is great! We left our pup for daycare, she played, relaxed, and went on a walk. Breanna was very responsive and provided great updates. We would absolutely leave our pup with her again.”
About: I’ve always been the one friends and family when they need someone to love and care for their pets—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Spending time with animals is something that genuinely makes me happy. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, which means I have plenty of extra love, attention, and energy to give to yours. Lots of Free Time, with a Flexible Schedule I work part-time, which gives me the best of both worlds—structure and plenty of free time. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for your pup throughout the day, during evenings, and even at those odd or last-minute hours. Whether you need regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I have the time and commitment to make sure your dog feels cared for and never rushed. My Care Style Your dog’s comfort and happiness always come first. When they’re with me, they’re treated like part of the family—lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention included. I’m happy to follow your routines and preferences so your pup feels right at home, no matter where they are. Special Requests Every dog has their own quirks, routines, and favorite things. Please share any special requests or details about your dog ahead of time—I love learning what makes each pet unique and will do my best to keep their days feeling familiar and full of love. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to care for your pup even at the odd hours. With my flexible schedule you can rely on me to be there even in the tight times. Your fur baby will get plenty of love in my home between me and my friendly cat, Ambrose. I will usually let them roam free around the apartment and on my furniture unless otherwise noted. Basically, you tell me what it is you need from me at my home or yours and I will make it happen.

She is extremely responsive to booking requests and very communicative when I need to move things around or she needs to adjust the schedule. Louie loves her and it's clear she loves him, too.

“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.”

When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“Missy was excellent with my girls. She was patient and loving, even during a stressful time. She was very flexible and accommodating with my weird scheduling needs for drop off and pickup as well. I definitely recommend her dog sitting services!”
“Ryo was great with Piper. They provided updates and pictures throughout our trip. I could tell that Piper enjoyed himself as well, upon his return home. I will definitely refer Ryo to other friends and family looking for a sitter.”
“It was wonderful to have Lori watch our dog Zelda while we were away! She set up a meet beforehand to ensure our dogs got along. She was great at communicating, and easy to schedule the meet, drop-off, and pick-up. She took excellent care of Zelda! We would definitely recommend and use her services again.”
“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!🫶🏾”
“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”
“Bella Rose enjoyed her time with George and Erin, we truly appreciate you two for taking great care of her and making us comfortable about leaving her.”
“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”
“My dog had a blast with Aspen and her family. She sent me a ton of pics and updates. It’s so relieving to not have to think about him at all while I’m out of town.”
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“Cody took excellent care of our dog Finn. He agreed to meet us beforehand so Finn could be introduced to him and his space before we totally dropped him off. Cody took daily pics and updates on how he was doing and made Finn feel right at home. Will definitely book with Cody again!”
“She did an amazing job looking after our girl over 4th of July weekend. Couldn't recommend Jen enough. Will definitely be requesting her again in the future.”
“Valerie was amazing with my dog. She gets extremely anxious and has bad separation anxiety and Valerie quickly made her feel right at home. When we came to pick her up, she didn’t get excited or pull on her leash to come to me, which is usually what she will do! I would definitely use Valerie again and so should you!!!”

I’m happy to follow any rules you may need to keep your dogs routine as consistent as possible! I work full-time and am home by 2:30 on days I’m not off. Once I’m home boarding is my focus, I always look forward to playing and giving dogs I’m boarding plenty of attention. I’m able to be with your dog while using the bathroom, I have a yard but it’s not fenced so I walk them around the yard on the leash while going potty. My dog loves having friends around so your dog will feel comfortable during their stay!
“Carol was great! Can't thank her enough. Knew my pup was in good hands after receiving pictures everyday with my dog having a big smile on her face! Definitely recommend and will be reaching out again for any future sitting!”
