“Dianna was amazing! We were worried about leaving Ellie with anyone other than family, but by the time we picked Ellie up we decided we would most likely use her again rather than family! Thanks Dianna for keeping our big baby and allowing us to have nice worry free time away!”
“Emily was great, sending pictures each day of my dogs stay and keeping me updated. She even shuffled her schedule around to accommodate the days I needed. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Very pleasant experience. You can tell Dana and Jason are dog lovers. Our dog had a good time and got on well with their dogs. We especially like that Dana works from home so someone is with dogs most all ofvthe time. Will definitely use again, in fact already booked another visit!”
“Matthew and Jill were AMAZING with our big guy, Gunner! They were welcoming to us during Gunner's drop off, and asked all the questions to make sure his stay was great and comfortable. They sent us daily updates, pictures included. For someone who stresses leaving their fur babies behind when traveling, I felt completely at ease with having Gunner in the hands of Mathew and Jill. Highly recommend, and will be contacting again in future travels.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Tammy!! Our furbaby Ruby was well loved and taken care of. From the moment I met Tammy I felt comfortable, her back yard was amazing for Ruby to have lots of room to play and run. It was a comfort knowing she would be able to play and run like she does at home! We will definitely utilize Tammy again!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Abbie did such an amazing job! Our dog means the world to us and she took great care of our boy! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for quality care for their fur kids.”
“Angel was wonderful! She updated and sent us pics of our little girl daily and her children loved on our fur baby all day long. They took walks and she got along very well with Angel's dog and cats. I will use her again! Thank you!!!”
“Henry loved every minute staying at their house!!! William and Haley sent us pictures and updates which helped to take the worry away and every picture showed Henry enjoying cuddles and fun! They were very flexible with arrival and departure, super accommodating (really only had to pack food), and the fenced in yard looked like a dream playground for any dog full of energy. I would not only highly recommend them, but we’ve found a dog sitter that we will FOR SURE use again!!!! This family is amazing and they had plenty of love to share with our pup Henry ❤️❤️”
“Patricia is a great sitter! I appreciate that she offered a meet and greet quickly and was very communicative throughout Annie Oakley's stay. We will definitely ask for her to sit Annie again.”
“We haven't left our dog very much so we were a little nervous about how he would do away from us for two days. Ruth was fantastic. She was flexible with our arrival time and very communicative, both before, answering all our questions, and during our dog's stay, sending pictures and a video of him. Our dog loved the backyard and seemed calm and content when we picked him up. We highly recommend Ruth and would definitely have her keep our dog again!”
“Jane was great Penny. We really appreciated her pictures and it looked like Penny really enjoyed her time with Jane. Would recommend and definitely will use her again!!”
“Leeann was absolutely wonderful with our little guy. She provided regular updates and even sent some pictures. We are so happy with the decision to book Leeann and will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“We had to leave our new puppy for a week and she is not house broken yet. We were so glad Deana was available and able to watch her. She is the best! She sent updates to us regularly. We know our puppy had a fantastic time and was well cared for. We will absolutely use Deana again and would recommend her to everyone. She has the most ideal setup for your dogs!!”
About: Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a college student and I don’t have many years of experience, but I’m looking to gain some. I’m probably the biggest pet person you’ll ever meet and I hope I can help you and your dog or cat. I currently am a college student and I don’t have a summer job or anything so I’m just looking for something to do on the side and keep me busy and something that will fit my schedule while also enjoying time with animals I have a fenced in yard with a boxer half lab who is very friendly with medium to small size dogs and does well with cats. I’m looking to make sure the owner is happy but even more to make sure their pet is happy.
“Eliza took such great care of our beagles!! She was more than happy to meet prior to us leaving our dogs with her just so we could know who was watching our pups and to ease some anxiety. My dogs loved her right from the start and had such a great time with her! Highly recommend and will definitely rebook!”
“Amanda and Mike are awesome!! They truly care about your fur babies when you are away and treat them as their own. I did not worry one bit while my girl was with them. I have found my new fur babysitter!”
“Jenny was phenomenal. She was very flexible with the times on drop off and pick up. Ember was happy with the long walks and nap time right next to Jenny. We were so glad our first time back on rover was made easy and delightful. Definitely going to be asking her again!”
“Kelly and her family were so friendly and accommodating. She sent pictures and updates through each day. Kiko got along great with her two larger dogs. We'll be using her again!”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”

About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals for many years. I've gravitated towards animals as long as I can remember, and have always seeked experience wherever I can. I have walked, animal sat, full groomed, bathed, and more! Anything that I haven't done, I'm always willing to learn! I currently go to college and live on campus! During the summer months I am home and have lots of time to work with your pets! My schedule is relatively open through July and fairly flexible come August! Feel free to send me a message for details!! I'm always willing to work with what your dog does best with! I'm able to crate when needed, use a long line, and have many tools and leashes if needed!
“We and our pets absolutely love Allison and her family. She has been amazing to work with. Our pets are happy and well taken care of and our dog Goose will want return visits.”
About: I have been a pet owner all my life and always have had a passion for animals growing up. I have been professionally pet sitting for many years now. I have 2 rescue dogs named Gemma and Ollie who I absolutely adore. I enjoy what I do and would be happy to watch your fur babies! I do accounting during the day but work from home so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pups! I have flexible drop off and pick up times too because of working remotely. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We also have a camera to keep an eye on your pups if we step out for a bit.

About: I have owned cats my whole life, I love them very much! I have cared for kittens and older cats. I care for your cat as my own! I pay attention to details and I notice things out of the ordinary. I do what it takes to keep your cat safe! I love to play with cats, too.
“Blake did a great job checking on our cats while we were away! He was even able to help with the inhaler for our cat with asthma and feed our bearded dragon. Would definitely recommend Blake!”
About: Caring for cats is a pleasure. I've learned that each feline has its own distinct personality, from the playful kitten to the dignified senior. Understanding their unique preferences, whether it's a gentle stroke behind the ears or a vigorous play session with a favorite toy, is key to building trust. I'm always mindful of their need for cleanliness, ensuring their litter box is spotless, and their diet is tailored to their specific needs. Seeing a cat purr contentedly in my care, knowing I've provided them with comfort and security, is incredibly rewarding.
“Andrea is great at communicating. Everything went smoothly. Loved that she sent pictures. I will definitely request her again and trust her completely. You can tell she loves her furry clients!”
“Rachel made me feel so at ease the whole time I was out of town! My cat looked so happy in the pictures she sent that I didn’t feel worried about her at all. I will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you Rachel!”

About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.
“My dog had a fabulous time with Amy and her other dogs. I was from out of State and was nervous to leave my girl with a stranger, but she showed me around and explained her setup and system of care. It put me at ease. My dog went off wagging her tail with Amy without even looking back at me. Amy texted me updates and pictures of my dog during the day. I would recommend Amy to everyone who loves their dog.”
“Ruth and her husband took excellent care of Murphy (my dog) they made their home, his home, and their fenced in back yard was wonderful for potty breaks! Thank you both so very much! You helped both Murphy and I feel right at home and so comfortable! We both enjoyed our vacation time!!! It was a real pleasure meeting you both!”
“Sadie and Lola had the BEST day playing with their new friends! I’ve had a lot of experience with Rover and could easily see that my girls felt welcomed and cared for throughout their stay! Jamie was quick and efficient in responding to all my questions. I received updates and pictures throughout the day and could see my girls were in the best of hands! Sadie and Lola will be back soon! I highly recommend Jamie!”
About: I’m currently a veterinary student set to graduate in less than 2 years! I am home for the summer and would love to help take care of any and all lovely pets! I am able to completely revolve my schedule around your pet if needed. I am happy to walk, train, or just love on your pet. It will bring me the greatest joy! As a veterinary student, I am CPR-certified and well-educated in animal needs. I will be sure to keep the health of your pet my primary job, as well as making sure they get loads of love!!!
About: I have years of pet care experience. I’m great at walking dogs, playing with them, and giving them all the attention they need. I’m different from other sitters and walkers mainly because I have been around pets my whole life. I’ve even done volunteer work with both dogs and cats. I love going to the dog park when the weather is nice plus taking trips to petsmart and Petco to let my dog interact with new animals and people is fun for me. Seeing an animal grow by learning something new or just become more loving is a goal I present myself with every time I care for a dog. I’ve cared for animals so much that I even wanted to become a vet one day.
“Hailey was great with our toy poodle Josie! She was also very accommodating with a very short notice so we could get to see the Ark Experience! Thank you very much Hailey! 😁”
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. We groom our cocker spaniels. If you want your dog bathed or groomed we can provide the service for an additional fee. Your dog will be loved and have playmates while you are away. My husband Marcus and I will feed and walk your pet. Walking is usually 1 time a day unless other instructions are given. We crate our dogs at night. I work weekends in a hospital. Marcus and our children are home on the weekends. Weekdays we are both home. We provide care and love around the clock. Marcus and/or I will always be there for your loved one. We have a fenced yard and 10 dogs to play with your dog. We will feed, walk and play with your fur baby. If you’re fur baby needs a bath or a groom we could possibly provide that service. We bathe, dry and groom our 7 cocker spaniels, yorkpompoo, and cavalier King Charles spaniel at home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs a few years now, and also have a history of nursing school which helps in my caring of animals. I really spend quality time with the pets and make sure to give them rewards :) I am currently unemployed until I start a new job in August which gives me a lot of quality time to spend with the doggies! I can easily crate your dog if needed to, and also provide a safe environment at your house to where the dog still feels protected with a new person at their home.
About: I’ve spent the past few years caring for dogs and cats, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic grooming. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in being reliable and kind with every animal I look after. Working from home with a 23-month-old means I already have a rhythm centered on care, attention, and being present. Pet care fits smoothly into this lifestyle — from morning walks (a great start to the day for both pets and toddlers!) to scheduled feeding times and regular play breaks. My flexible schedule lets me respond to pets' needs throughout the day, whether it's a cuddle, a potty break, or a bit of extra attention. With my child learning to be gentle and kind around animals, it's a home environment that’s calm, loving, and perfect for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a fenced balcony where your pet can safely relax and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Our complex also features a secure, fenced-in pet park that’s perfect for playtime and running off energy, plus plenty of open space for regular walks and exploring.
“Great sitter! Jobe was very communicative and flexible since we were using Rover to care for our pup while attending a friend’s wedding out of state. It worked out great because while we were able to have fun and relax with friends on a special day, Kouvr was having the time of her life with Jobe and his girlfriend and his other Rover pets! Bonus of her being exhausted and ready for bed after a day and a half trapped in a car/hotel room. 10/10!”
“We appreciate Amanda and Mike watching our Golden for a couple of days while we visited the Ark and the Creation Museum. They were very friendly, and Daisy was happy to return the second day. They have a great backyard too.”
“My puppy enjoyed the day playing with Brandon and his friendly pets. Brandon was reliable, responsive, worked well with my puppy’s energy level, and sent me a lot of updates during the day. We will be back.”
“My puppy has so much fun with Lisa that sometimes it’s hard to get him to come back home lol, I def recommend choosing Lisa if you need doggy day care!!”

About: I started babysitting at around 13, from then on through high school and into college, I found a love for caring for both animals and children. As I got older I began routinely house/pet sitting for my aunt who had 4 cats and my grandma who had 3 dogs. Most recently I house sat for a MSgt in Abilene Texas who had 2 cats and 2 dogs for a little over a week. Being recently separated from the Air Force, my schedule is flexible as I am seeking to ease back into work- while also maintaining flexibility, as I intend on being a full time student in the fall. If secured prior to July 1, I intend on curating my schedule to long term clients. I have an open schedule for now- but again fully intend on tending to future clients needs. I treat every pet as my own. that means with respect, patience, guidance as needed, and above all else - love and protection. I will tend to everyday tasks of living with the best quality of life in mind for each fur baby in my care.

I have always had a soft spot for animals. They bring me such happiness and I honestly feel like we are not deserving of the love that they give! I have great anxiety when I have to Board or find care for my own pets, and I strive to bring comfort and compassionate care to others who may feel the same way!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since and have continued to care for close friends and family’s pets for many years. My main goal is to always make any pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, and turtles. I’ll always have a soft spot for dogs, but I’m happy to care for any kind of pet from all walks of life! I’ve helped raise dogs from just being born - to sitting for some that were adopted or transitioned from previous owners that were no longer able to take care of them. No matter the situation, I’m always happy to adjust to their needs and take care of them as if they are my own!!! I work full time in a flexible hybrid position that allows me to provide care throughout the week. My work is local and only a 20-minute drive from Union, KY. While I work full time, I’m able to take care of your pet during my lunch breaks and can care for them in my home on the days I work remote. Otherwise, I’m available anytime after 5pm on weekdays and have all-day availability on weekends. If needed, I’m more than happy to stay overnight weekdays and/or weekends! I live in an apartment complex that is very pet friendly, there’s open sidewalks to walk around as well as a newly opened dog park and dog spa. I’d be happy to watch your pet all day while I work from home or can care for them after I get off work. Our apartment is very safe and situated in close proximity to various areas (10 minutes from Florence, 15-20 minutes from Hebron). I care for every pet I meet by understanding their needs and ensuring they’re always in a safe, well-maintained environment.
About: Hi, I’m a dedicated pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a full house—two dogs, five indoor cats, 18 outdoor cats, and two guinea pigs! I truly understand the love, patience, and attention pets need, because I live it every day. Whether you’ve got a playful pup, a picky kitty, or a small critter needing gentle care, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own—with reliability, kindness, and plenty of cuddles! As a part time employee, it allows plenty of time to care for your pets needs and wants. I only work about 5 hour shifts so I have plenty of time around that to be available. I am a happy and energized person and I can get along with all types of animals, young or old, calm or hyper. And I am a very patient person, acquiring that skill as I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and a whole barnyard of animals my whole life.
About: I've cared and pet sit for family for years, I would watch over my Nana's ten pets for weeks at a time multiple times a year. I always look forward to when I get to sit and care for families pets and spend time with them one on one. I love the calm moments where they sleep next to you and the energy of running around in the backyard for hours and taking walks. I work a full time job in the evening, but I have two pets I care for at home before and after work. I would love to be able to help others know their animals are safe and taken care of while they're at work or out of town, especially if they're gone late at night when their pets need them most. I always make sure to approach an animal and not force myself on them until they feel comfortable around a new person. I make sure when taking them on a walk to always have them on a leash just in case and be cautious around other animals because you can't ever be too sure of other people's pets around your own. I would always check with the owner but I would love to bring approved treats for the animals as a fun surprise and maybe a new toy if it was okayed by the owner.
“Cathy is a wonderful dogwalker! She was conscientious and caring regarding my older dog's needs. She communicates well and provided photos daily. Cathy made me feel at ease in trusting her with my dog and in my home.”
About: In my future, i plan to start a rescue for animals in need and are injured. Animals are my best friend and i couldn’t ever imagine being without them.

They currently have 3 bunnies, guinea pigs, 10 cocker spaniels, 1 lab, and 2 cats.

I know how to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and personalities. I also am experienced in special needs dogs, my parents have a cocker spaniel who has special needs and he’s the sweetest dog i’ve ever met. Me and my girlfriend, jenica do this together. I just recently started a new job at the hospital 40 hours a week so it might mainly be her at drop off or pick up if that’s the case i will let you know! but she is so caring and loving to animals!! she’s cared for many animals like horses, dogs, cats, and fish. she’s like an animal whisperer.. she always knows what the animal wants/needs and always tends to them. she especially knows how to make dogs feel at home. This isn’t a business for us it’s a special place for dogs to be happy and loved while their parents are away. especially to make their owners feel comfortable that their pup is in good hands!! 💛🐶 I had a senior dog , izzy who had cancer and i did my best to make her feel cared for through the time she had left. I really take my time caring for dogs with special needs and who are older, they need fun and love. 🐾 What i offer : • Boarding (Overnight stays) • At your home doggie sitting • Day care • Walking • Drop in visits • Clean, and spacious home • Structured play time, nap time and lovin time • fenced in yard for supervised outdoor play and potty time • A calm living space where pups are free to play and relax • Lots of squeaky toys and stuffed animals 🦴🧸 • 2 walks a day 🐕 if they need more we are happy to provide more walks :) • no crated home (unless your dog is crate trained and their crate is their safe space which we abide by) I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why i am firm on communication. I’ll send you updates, videos and pictures so you can see how much fun their having and be comfortable having them in my hands :) I am home most of the day, there may be a time where i have to run to do an errand like grocery shopping etc. My girlfriend is home all the time so she will be home to take care of your pups. Their safety and well being always comes first 🐶 Im 18 and work from home with my girlfriend. We are available 7 days a week. I have a fully fenced in yard so your pup can play outside and be safe. My home is tidy, and very clean. We make sure everything is put away. We know how it is to have a pup that likes to put everything in their mouth so we make sure to vacuum and mop. I live in a quiet little neighborhood. My house is a very spacious 4,000 square foot home and it was a church before it was turned into a house so it’s very unique. I have a cocker spaniel and a brittany mix, they are both very sweet and love new company. My brittany is 15 so he kinda just lays around but my cocker spaniel is 3 so she loveeesss to play.

I would love to keep your pets at their home in the environment they are familiar with. I do have a fenced in yard and a pup myself.
About: As a college student-athlete, I’m dependable, active, and flexible with my schedule. I have previous dog-sitting experience and genuinely enjoy caring for pets, keeping them active, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away I am a part time tennis pro at Five Seasons Sports Country Club as well as a student at Thomas More University. I have my summer schedule and I have lots of availability during the week to take care of families best friends. I currently live in an apartment and don’t have the availability to keep others pets in my residence. However, I will travel to many different areas making sure pets stay on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and attention, while also keeping the home clean, secure, and respected. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always provide updates and make sure owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: Hi I’m Brooke! I’ve been pet sitting for family and neighbors for over 10 years and have yet to receive a complaint. I have experience caring for animals of many sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medication, including insulin, as my own dog has diabetes. I currently work as a caregiver at a nursing home three days a week and have weekends off, which gives me flexibility and reliability in my schedule. Being a caregiver has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and sense of responsibility, qualities I bring to pet care as well. I have a 10 year old miniature schnauzer named Cooper and a 12 year old rescue cat named Whiskers who I absolutely adore. I truly love all animals, from dogs to snakes! I’m very active and enjoy spending time outdoors, but equally love snuggling up on the couch with pets. Your pets safety and comfort is my priority :) I work at a nursing home Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets on the weekend! I have a fenced in yard with a friendly pup. My cat prefers to be outdoors, so it won’t be an issue if your pet doesn’t get along with cats. I am completely dependable and will follow all instructions to a T.

“Dianna was amazing! We were worried about leaving Ellie with anyone other than family, but by the time we picked Ellie up we decided we would most likely use her again rather than family! Thanks Dianna for keeping our big baby and allowing us to have nice worry free time away!”
“Emily was great, sending pictures each day of my dogs stay and keeping me updated. She even shuffled her schedule around to accommodate the days I needed. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Matthew and Jill were AMAZING with our big guy, Gunner! They were welcoming to us during Gunner's drop off, and asked all the questions to make sure his stay was great and comfortable. They sent us daily updates, pictures included. For someone who stresses leaving their fur babies behind when traveling, I felt completely at ease with having Gunner in the hands of Mathew and Jill. Highly recommend, and will be contacting again in future travels.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Tammy!! Our furbaby Ruby was well loved and taken care of. From the moment I met Tammy I felt comfortable, her back yard was amazing for Ruby to have lots of room to play and run. It was a comfort knowing she would be able to play and run like she does at home! We will definitely utilize Tammy again!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Abbie did such an amazing job! Our dog means the world to us and she took great care of our boy! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for quality care for their fur kids.”
“Henry loved every minute staying at their house!!! William and Haley sent us pictures and updates which helped to take the worry away and every picture showed Henry enjoying cuddles and fun! They were very flexible with arrival and departure, super accommodating (really only had to pack food), and the fenced in yard looked like a dream playground for any dog full of energy. I would not only highly recommend them, but we’ve found a dog sitter that we will FOR SURE use again!!!! This family is amazing and they had plenty of love to share with our pup Henry ❤️❤️”
“Patricia is a great sitter! I appreciate that she offered a meet and greet quickly and was very communicative throughout Annie Oakley's stay. We will definitely ask for her to sit Annie again.”
“Amanda and Mike are awesome!! They truly care about your fur babies when you are away and treat them as their own. I did not worry one bit while my girl was with them. I have found my new fur babysitter!”
“Kelly and her family were so friendly and accommodating. She sent pictures and updates through each day. Kiko got along great with her two larger dogs. We'll be using her again!”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“We were visiting Kentucky on vacation and she took care of our puppy for two days. She was incredibly kind, responded quickly to our messages, and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. We highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time using a Rover and Kelti was absolutely amazing! Our pup Willow had such a good time and was well taken care of. We appreciated all the updates and photos Kelti provided. We would definitely rebook with her again!”
“Rachelle and her husband eased every anxiety I had about leaving our girl behind while we went on vacation! We received several daily updates, very quick responses, and so many pictures — we loved seeing her while we were gone. If there is ANYONE you should trust with your baby it’s them! They were truly so amazing that I would be willing to plan a vacation around their schedule just to ensure our baby will be in the best care.”
About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I currently own a dachshund and 2 cats. I work at night so always home during the day. genuine passion for making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and routines. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or keeping up with medications and schedules, I make sure your pet gets the same love and attention they would at home. I’m especially patient with puppies and dogs who need extra reassurance, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. I work night shift, and I’m off Friday and Saturday, so I’m home all day, and I wake up often to take my puppy to potty. I have a dachshund that is always willing to play with anyone. I am able to do what is needed to care for your fur baby. Am able to travel wherever is needed to walking
