“We could tell our girl felt right at home after dropping her off and Kristin sent pictures to keep us updated. Very smooth and easy drop off and pick up! Thank you again”
“Amber does a great job watching my dog when I'm away. She communicates well and sends updates with pictures, which I really appreciate. She has watched my dog other times as well and I will continue to ask for her help when needed. Thanks Amber!”
“Dina did an awesome job with my Lady. She kept me informed about what was going on with it. I will be recommending her to all my friends. Will definitely use her again.”
“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.”
“Rachel took very good care of our 2 dogs. One of our dogs tends to get very anxious when we leave and Rachel was able to give him the extra attention and love he needed. I could def tell the difference between bringing them to a boarding facility and then this time to Rachel. So happy we found her!”
“Nancy was great! Our trip plans were ever changing due to scheduling of my daughters cheer competition out of town. She went with the flow and was very flexible for our drop off and pick up times! She is very responsive and always answered quickly with any questions or just to check in on our pup! We will definitely use her for our future trips!”
“This was a last minute reservation and Lauren stepped up to the challenge. Her dog (Cletus) and ours were great together. Lauren took great care of our Jasper by providing him with walks, cuddles and some fun toys - sorry Cletus. We have already scheduled our next stay as we would not hesitate using Lauren again. Thanks Lauren.”
“I am so fortunate to have Lynn and her family to watch my 2 girls while I am out of town. She has a beautiful clean house with a large front and back yard for the pups to go in and out as they please. She even went out of her way to add toppings to the kibble when the girls were not eating well at first. I cannot recommend Lynn and her family enough. Will continue to be a repeat customer!”
“Amy is awesome!! Hazel had a great day playing with her and other new friends. Hiking, playing ball, chasing birds and running to get her zoomies out. This was a great experience. We recommend Amy very highly.”
“Excellent!! These are the NICEST people to take care of my dog!!! I will always check with them first! Polite, considerate, accommodating, reliable and professional.”
“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time staying with Ana and her dog, Mia. Ana was an excellent sitter very accommodating, communicative, and easy to work with. We felt completely at ease and would happily book with her again.”
“My dog really enjoyed his time and was well taken care of when I had to book a Rover on short notice. Received many photos and Maria was very good about reaching out in a timely manner with any questions or concerns!”
“Glenn was incredible. I dropped Ryder off for 5 nights over New Years and received multiple pics per day. Glenn took him walking in the freezing cold and Ryder came home tired and very happy. Will 100% use Glenn again in the future.”
“Hailey did a wonderful job, giving our Mini Schnauzer the opportunity to become acclimated to her and the surroundings. She asked about feedings and outside time. She provided us with updates and pics throughout the day. I would heartily recommend her to anyone, but she is especially convenient to those visiting the Ark Encounter!”
“Megan was great!! She sent regular updates and sent lots of pictures. Bella fit right in with her crew of dogs. I highly recommend if needed a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had my own dog for 9 years, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially patient with puppies and understand their energy, training needs, and routines. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and I can work around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to an on-site dog park, so your pup will still get plenty of exercise and outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also have two friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets. I can crate your dog if needed and will always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel at home.
“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.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for pets is second nature to me. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, a rabbit, turtles, snakes, and fish. I currently have two dogs, a cat, and a snake that I’ve raised and cared for daily—my snake has been with me for 15 years, my dogs for about 8 years, and my cat for the past year. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I meet. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior pets, or more unique companions, always providing patient, reliable, and loving care. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me lots of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can adjust easily to your schedule. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always follow your instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or just giving extra love and playtime. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience and care I give my own.
“Harley seemed to have a good visit with Hannah! It was a semi-long day for Harley in the crate, but he was still tired for bed which means he must of had a good energy release when Hannah visited.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats my whole life, including those that are divas and seniors that need more care. I have cat sat for my neighbors, friends, and family.
“Glenn and Terrill were great while watching my cat, Jasper! He stayed with them for 10 days, and I received many pictures and updates on how he was doing. I would highly recommend them to watch your furry friend, they are great!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was young, and I have over six years of hands-on experience. I have owned and worked with breeds ranging from Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to Great Danes and Mastiffs, so I am comfortable with both small and large dogs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, exercise, and provide overnight care for their pets. I am patient, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. As a full-time student at Murray State University, I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for pet care each day. I am available daily from 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM and can accommodate overnight stays on most days with advance notice. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I prioritize reliability, punctuality, and consistency so your pet receives dependable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and house rules. I remain attentive during walks and ensure pets are always securely leashed and supervised. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain a calm, clean environment. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.
“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”
About: I have over four years of experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. I understand that cats thrive on routine and a calm environment, so I take extra care to keep feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, and daily habits consistent. I am comfortable administering medications when needed, cleaning litter boxes thoroughly, and spending quality time playing or simply keeping your cat company. My goal is to make sure every cat feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you are away.
“Kennedy was a perfect temporary cat mom for our little old cat. She always sent a photo and a detailed description of his food intake and whether he took his medicine well. I will definitely have Kennedy care for our cat again!”
About: Since about 12 years old my neighborhood friends would hire me to dogs sit while their family went out of town. I’ve always had a huge amount of love for animals so I never had any problem doing so. Fast forward 5 years later my parents began breeding French bulldogs. My siblings and I had a lot of responsibility on our hands are far as feeding them, bathing, keeping them groomed, making sure they’re up to date on shots and etc. I currently work from home so that’s enables me with plenty of free time to walk, play with/take to the park, and feed your lovely animals! In my home my dog is crate trained. I do have a crate for my puppy for if friends come over and are not comfortable with him I can put him away for a few hours. I prefer all animals be crate trained , but only go to the crate if they would like to do so. I do not mind dogs walking around my house. I have a puppy of my own so every morning I get up and take my puppy on a 30 minute walk as well as every evening once I get home from work. I have an animal friendly house so I usually let pups/kittys run around the house as long as they’ve been fed and taken out for a potty break.
About: I have years of experience caring for cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior companions. I’m skilled at administering medications, ensuring their health and comfort, and maintaining clean, stress-free spaces—including perfectly tended litter boxes. My attention to detail and genuine love for cats help me provide personalized care that keeps them happy and relaxed while you’re away.
About: I've had at least four dogs as long as I can remember. As a child, they were my first companions and my second caretakers. Even as I grew into an adult, they were always there to comfort me and to brighten the darkest of days. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I am eager to give back what they so willingly give; love, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and joy. In the last two years, I have gone from four dogs to one, due to Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure, and I must admit that their absence has affected me deeply. I miss them so so so much!! I'm one of those people that celebrated their dog's birthdays and bought them copious presents for Christmas. While my friends were pulling out their family pics, I was always pulling out my dog pics. I share this same sentiment towards birds, rabbits, and cats; all of which I had growing up. Being surrounded by animals as a child was a great experience. It even prompted me to volunteer at the ASPCA for almost a year. As I hope you can tell, I will not only provide what your pet needs to survive, but I will also provide him/her with special attention and love. I look forward to meeting with both you and your pet! Until then, take care! I will be able to fulfill any house/pet sitting duties without any issues, as I am able to balance my obligations responsibly and with respect to myself and those that hire me. While pet/house sitting, I will abide the rules given to me. This could include when they play, where they sleep, any medications needed, when to eat, etc.
About: As far as cats go, I have experience bathing, brushing, and trimming nails. As well as bathing and brushing for dogs. I also have experience administering liquid and pill medicine for both cats and dogs. :) I am the parent of a lazy domestic short hair cat named Eddie. I’ve had him for about three years and before Mr. Eddie, I’ve helped in providing care for many cats and dogs of all different breeds for family and friends. I feed Eddie twice a day (morning and night) and refill his water fountain every morning. Litter is changed every other day. He has two cat towers and more toys than I can count. He enjoys playing with other cats and has no problem sharing his space. As for pets in others homes I follow routines exactly as instructed.
“Yusef is so amazing! My babies felt so safe and secure with him. He made sure to send me pics and one of my skittish kitties took a liking to him which is a big deal! Yusef is a blessing and helped me tremendously during a trying time in my life and made sure my kitties was safe through it all”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.

“Anyone who loves their pet knows how hard it is to leave them with a stranger; in fact this is the very first time we left our Cookie with anyone other than family. But I have to say that her stay with Kristin was a success! We are very happy with our experience on Rover and with Kristin.”
“Hailey was wonderful! We needed a short notice drop off for a few hours while we went to a museum, and she responded quickly, was so sweet with our dog and sent us photos even though it was only a few hours. She is great! Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! We are on vacation visiting the Ark Encounter. Loved all the pictures, the updates on what he did and knowing he got lots of love from the family was really nice. Would highly recommend them to anyone, they took extra special care of our pup!”
“Jax had a great day with Amy and fur buddies. The fenced-in area is very large with lush green grass. Jax also enjoyed the pool. Amy is a delight and has a great love for her pets and those she cares for. I thoroughly enjoyed the pictures and knew Jax was in good hands. If ever back in this area Amy would be my choice for doggie daycare!😍”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for over 50 years. I was so lucky to grow up in a home that was the local Noah’s Arc. This childhood formed my commitment and love to animals. About 20 years ago, I decided to enter the world of pure bred dogs and have been an avid exhibitor and breeder of Pointers and Ridgebacks focused always on good temperaments and health. I love dogs and really believe it’s important that each animal I care for, feels at home, comfortable, pampered, exercised and loved. I have 4 dogs that are super casual and it has been very easy to bring animals into my home. I will only take 1 or 2 dogs at a time, as I want to be able to provide the best care possible for them. Your animals are treated as though they are mine and the care and love they will experience can only be exceeded by you. It’s always stressful for animals to be away from their families, so the more I can do to relieve this stress, the better I feel. I always tease my clients that their dogs may come home a little spoiled. I’m very much available all day really to take care of the dogs as my schedule is very flexible. In addition my brother lives with me and he helps me take care of the dogs. There is always a person at our house while your dog will be visiting. I also offer a military discount for those that have or are serving our beautiful country. I do not work outside of the home, which provides me with a lot of flexibility to provide dedicated care to your pets all day. I think it's important dogs that stay at my house receive the same amount of attention as they would at home and as my dogs do. I also believe it's important not to disrupt their daily routine, so I work closely with owners to understand each Dog needs.
About: I grew up on a farm in NC surrounded by animals, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I recently moved to Lexington with my husband, who is a veterinarian, which has given me an even greater appreciation for pet health and well-being. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or somewhere in between, I'll provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply providing companionship, I follow each owner's instructions closely and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a pet owner myself to an 11½-year-old Maltipoo, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member.
“Guadalupe was great with our girls. So easy to communicate with, kept us updated with pics and videos and even provided a great restaurant recommendation. If we come back through Lexington, we will return to Guadalupe.”
“We've brought our pup to Laura multiple times and it's always been a stress-free experience. Laura is a great communicator and caregiver, and we love working with her!”
About: After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands. Available almost anytime in Lexington and surrounding areas contact in advance is recommended but we can take last-minute calls depending on the situation and what not. Also I work with you budget! I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!
“John was excellent! I ended up reaching out to him last minute due to a schedule change, and he was very kind and accommodating. Throughout the day, John sent multiple pictures and updates, and he even spoiled him with some homemade food! Our a little guy had such a great time. Will definitely be bringing him back!”
“You won’t find better daycare/boarding than with Nancy. My babies come for daycare and boarding weekly because of my job and they always get their share of snack, love, and play. Aside from the over-the-top experience they have, I’m able to have confidence that they are in the best hands! You won’t find a staff anywhere that combined has the experience and compassion that Nancy does. I wouldn’t trust my pets anywhere else and I’m so thankful to have been able to find her! You will be thankful you did too.”
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.

About: I have taken care of animals big and small for most of my life; goats, chickens, cats, dogs, geese, rabbits, fish, snakes, rats, geckos, tortoises, pigeons, and probably more. I have pet sit for many friends and family members, and now that I have a cat of my own, I know how much trust one must put in someone to watch their pet. I have also cared for animals in a professional setting at Madison Children's Museum (where I cared for chickens, pigeons, crested geckos, turtles, tortoises, and rats) and was trained in their care. I am used to feeding my cat and cleaning her litter box every morning. Along with this, I sweep because she is a menace who launches her litter across the room. I will treat your pet as if they are my own family, talking to them as if they can respond, and giving them all the love I have. I will also follow any special instructions you have for me, and try to keep your pet on their preferred schedule - I want you both to be as comfortable as possible.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life, my mom has tons of animals as well as family and friends and I am always more than willing to watch and care for them! I am working part-time and would love to have company on days that I don’t and what better way than to care for a pet? I live in a house with a fenced in backyard and know many other people who have dogs as well and always have play dates!
About: Very attentive, love dogs of all sizes, shapes and forms! Being outdoors is my favorite and would love to enjoy your pup with some outdoor time or a little adventure. Very gentle and oh so loving. Enjoying cuddles and puppy/dog kisses. Great at belly rubs! Love to walk for days and keep your dog healthy like me! Would love to keep your pet and spoil them rotten and give them extra love and anything they need and require! Up for jogs, long walks and park time! Play fetch, tug of war, and occasional dips in a kiddie pool. I can give you dog or puppy everything they need and more! I’m a big softie for animals and love them with a huge passion! Pick me I’m currently unemployed so I can help a lot if need be. I love each dog big or small and all the critters that need watched. I have a fenced in yard. I can crate, leave in the kitchen, or let roam when I care for your pet. I don’t board or do puppy daycare at this time.
“I was visiting family in the area, and I left my 40 lb female husky with Kimberly for the day. My husky gets anxious in new environments and loves to be outside. Kimberly helped her get acquainted with the new surroundings and took her for SO many walks! When I picked my husky up at the end of the day, she was very happy and very tired! I would definitely contact again and recommend Kimberly. I felt very comfortable, she was very communicative & clearly cared about my husky having a good day too!”

About: I have always had dogs and cats in my life. I have cared for senior animals when it got more difficult and puppies that needed round-the-clock care. I’ve also been trusted by family, neighbors, and friends to care for their homes and pets while they were away. I’m a recent college grad and have not yet found employment, so my schedule is wide open! I will be available Monday through Sunday at all hours. I do not offer boarding in my home, however I can supervise multiple dogs at once, walk dogs, follow specific feeding instructions, and respect the boundaries of your cat. I can also work with security systems and keep your home safe and neat.
About: I have been caring of a variety fur babies since I was a kid. I have experience with working with both younger and older fur babies. I am currently working full time while coming my masters online in counseling so I do have flexibility with working overnights. If need more availability please contact me. I have a fenced area at my apartment complex for dogs if needed. I have a variety of teats and toys for cats if needed.

About: I grew up with three dogs, so taking care of pets has always been a part of my life. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether it’s spending time with dogs, visiting cat cafés, or stopping by the humane society to hang out with the animals there. I’m patient, dependable, and I’ll make sure your pets get the attention, care, and love they deserve while you’re away. Have also house and plant sat for people over the years and always enjoyed helping out. I work full time, so I have a consistent routine and know how to manage my time well. I’m available before and after work, on my days off, and can work with pet owners to make sure their pets stay on their normal schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to giving every pet the care and attention they deserve. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and fresh water. I also like to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. From fun-filled walks and playtime to administering medications and providing attentive senior care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. I’m also skilled in basic training and maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. My passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy ensures they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Daily Routine: 1. Morning Care: • Start the day with a morning potty break for Tootsie, followed by her breakfast. Puppies often have high energy in the morning, so I set aside 15-20 minutes for a walk or playtime to help her burn off energy. • This ensures she’s settled while I begin my workday. 2. Midday Break: • Working from home allows me to schedule a midday potty break and a short walk. This keeps Tootsie active and gives me a mental break from work. 3. Afternoon Engagement: • I incorporate short play sessions between tasks to provide Toots with mental stimulation, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, or a puzzle toy. • These breaks are timed to coincide with natural pauses in my workflow, helping me stay refreshed and productive. 4. Evening Care: • I dedicate time for a longer walk or play session to meet her exercise needs. • Dinner and another potty break follow, ensuring she’s relaxed for the evening. 5. Winding Down: • We end the day with cuddle time and one last potty break before bed, maintaining her routine and comfort. Weekly Routine: • Training Sessions: I include short, 5-10 minute training sessions daily to reinforce good behaviors and teach new commands. • Socialization: On weekends, I take my dog to a park or pet-friendly area to expose her to new environments, people, and other dogs. • Grooming and Maintenance: Weekly brushing keeps her long coat healthy, and I check her nails and ears regularly to prevent any issues. • House Cleaning: I allocate time to clean her bedding, toys, and the areas where she spends time to maintain hygiene. Working from home makes it easier to integrate these tasks naturally into my day. It ensures Tootsie’s needs are met while allowing me to balance work responsibilities effectively. When caring for pets in either my own home or a client's home, I prioritize safety by ensuring a secure environment, following their specific care instructions diligently, closely monitoring their behavior, and always keeping their well-being at the forefront, including providing proper food, water, exercise, and access to designated bathroom areas, while fostering a trusting relationship through consistent routines and gentle interactions. Key aspects of pet care, depending on the service offered: Basic Needs: Feeding: Providing the correct amount of their prescribed food at scheduled times, ensuring fresh water is always available. Waste Management: Regularly cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs outside for bathroom breaks, and proper disposal of waste. Exercise: Engaging in appropriate physical activity based on the pet's breed and needs, such as walks, playtime, or interactive toys. Safety Measures: Secure Environment: Checking for potential hazards like open doors, toxic substances, and securing areas that could be dangerous for the pet. Leash Supervision: Always using a leash when walking dogs outdoors in public areas. Medication Administration: Following strict instructions for administering any prescribed medications. Trust Building: Positive Reinforcement: Using positive training techniques and rewards to build a positive relationship. Gentle Handling: Respecting the pet's boundaries and comfort level, avoiding forceful actions. Communication: Maintaining open communication with the client regarding any concerns or changes in the pet's behavior.
About: Since about 12 years old my neighborhood friends would hire me to dogs sit while their family went out of town. I’ve always had a huge amount of love for animals so I never had any problem doing so. Fast forward 5 years later my parents began breeding French bulldogs. My siblings and I had a lot of responsibility on our hands are far as feeding them, bathing, keeping them groomed, making sure they’re up to date on shots and etc. I currently work from home so that’s enables me with plenty of free time to walk, play with/take to the park, and feed your lovely animals! In my home my dog is crate trained. I do have a crate for my puppy for if friends come over and are not comfortable with him I can put him away for a few hours. I prefer all animals be crate trained , but only go to the crate if they would like to do so. I do not mind dogs walking around my house. I have a puppy of my own so every morning I get up and take my puppy on a 30 minute walk as well as every evening once I get home from work. I have an animal friendly house so I usually let pups/kittys run around the house as long as they’ve been fed and taken out for a potty break.
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in dog sitting and walking, I bring a deep love for animals and a strong sense of responsibility to every pet I care for. I’ve been around animals my entire life—dogs, cats, and more—and currently have a sweet dog of my own who keeps me active and inspired every day. I’m currently studying to become a Veterinary Technician, and I’ve also volunteered at two local veterinary clinics here in Kentucky, gaining valuable experience in animal care and behavior. My background not only ensures your pet is in loving hands, but also that I can handle a variety of situations calmly and professionally. In addition to pet care, I have 2 years of experience babysitting children, which has helped me build strong communication skills and a reliable, nurturing presence that both pets and people can trust. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, one-on-one attention, or a safe place to stay, I’m here to provide compassionate, dependable care you can count on. i am a stay at home college student who does side jobs during the week to tend to all of my animals. there is nothing that makes me happier than caring for any fury little babies. i’m free just about any day. :) I live in a very safe and secure neighborhood. i have a fenced in yard. As well as a wooden fenced in cage area outside that is about 900 square feet for zoomies and training. There is no length i won’t go to keep your animals safe and happy:)
About: As far as cats go, I have experience bathing, brushing, and trimming nails. As well as bathing and brushing for dogs. I also have experience administering liquid and pill medicine for both cats and dogs. :) I am the parent of a lazy domestic short hair cat named Eddie. I’ve had him for about three years and before Mr. Eddie, I’ve helped in providing care for many cats and dogs of all different breeds for family and friends. I feed Eddie twice a day (morning and night) and refill his water fountain every morning. Litter is changed every other day. He has two cat towers and more toys than I can count. He enjoys playing with other cats and has no problem sharing his space. As for pets in others homes I follow routines exactly as instructed.
About: Greetings, valued customers, my name is Jordan. I appreciate you viewing my profile to get to know me a little better. I kindly ask that you read my profile in ENTIRETY so you have a better understanding to determine if we are a great fit and for detailed scheduling information down below. I look forward to hearing from you and I'm delighted to be here for all your animal care needs. I have cared for fish, dogs, cats, parrots and other birds, bearded dragons, snakes, chickens, goats, bunnies, doves, mini horses, pigs, other farm animals, and other reptiles, amphibians and exotic animals. I have been offering animal care services for eight years, and I completely love and enjoy doing it. The love that animals have for humans is an incredible thing to experience. Caring for animals makes my life so much more meaningful, and I love doing it for people who need my services. Also, knowing that people need my animal care services, fulfills my passion for helping others in life. I love and enjoy being of service to others, and it makes me so happy to be able to do so. I'm currently working as an RBT (Registered Behavioral Technician) (I work with people with autism and help them better adapt to everyday life), and I work with Rover as a petsitter as well. If you contact me for a lenghty petsit, I am able to ask off work with no complications (with more than a 2 week notice), however if you are in need of a speedy petsit, I can work with your schedule (but I may have to work a few hours during the day on week days, with no complications). My Rover calender will reflect my availability will continually be updated. Please check the calender before reaching out. Thank you for your understanding. I prefer going to a client's house to take care of their animals in a familiar environment, along with a detailed list of instructions of do's and dont's for their pet. Instructions on animal care are to ensure the animal's safety when they are with me, without me needing to unnecessarily contact and bother the owner while they are away. Also, a general list of outdoor activities I can do with the pet is welcome. For example, if I can take the pet hiking, to the park, for walks, etc. Also, does your pet get along with other animals, children, or people well, and does your pet get car sick? These variables are essential information for me to know to ensure the best care while you are away. My passion is pets, and I want to ensure your pets are comfortable and safe with me, so I highly encourage more than enough information on caring for your babies. Please note if your location is 40 miles, plus, in distance from my Rover given location, I charge for milage, for the traveling/distance in the initial reservation contact message for meet and greets. I will send you a new quote to your initial request for these changes in price due to milage charges. Thank you for understanding this policy.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.

“Rachel took very good care of our 2 dogs. One of our dogs tends to get very anxious when we leave and Rachel was able to give him the extra attention and love he needed. I could def tell the difference between bringing them to a boarding facility and then this time to Rachel. So happy we found her!”
“Nancy was great! Our trip plans were ever changing due to scheduling of my daughters cheer competition out of town. She went with the flow and was very flexible for our drop off and pick up times! She is very responsive and always answered quickly with any questions or just to check in on our pup! We will definitely use her for our future trips!”
“This was a last minute reservation and Lauren stepped up to the challenge. Her dog (Cletus) and ours were great together. Lauren took great care of our Jasper by providing him with walks, cuddles and some fun toys - sorry Cletus. We have already scheduled our next stay as we would not hesitate using Lauren again. Thanks Lauren.”
“I am so fortunate to have Lynn and her family to watch my 2 girls while I am out of town. She has a beautiful clean house with a large front and back yard for the pups to go in and out as they please. She even went out of her way to add toppings to the kibble when the girls were not eating well at first. I cannot recommend Lynn and her family enough. Will continue to be a repeat customer!”

She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”

“Glenn was incredible. I dropped Ryder off for 5 nights over New Years and received multiple pics per day. Glenn took him walking in the freezing cold and Ryder came home tired and very happy. Will 100% use Glenn again in the future.”
“Hailey did a wonderful job, giving our Mini Schnauzer the opportunity to become acclimated to her and the surroundings. She asked about feedings and outside time. She provided us with updates and pics throughout the day. I would heartily recommend her to anyone, but she is especially convenient to those visiting the Ark Encounter!”
About: I’ve had my own dog for 9 years, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need. I’m experienced with feeding routines, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially patient with puppies and understand their energy, training needs, and routines.

I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and I can work around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to an on-site dog park, so your pup will still get plenty of exercise and outdoor time.

I can crate your dog if needed and will always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel at home.

“AMAZING! Our pups really enjoyed their stay and they will be going back to you for more stays! Jordan is very communicative and she sends pictures during their stay. THEY WILL BE COMING BACK! 100% recommend!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience. She was communicative and kind, had no issue with Luna’s medication schedule and updated us throughout with pictures and videos. Luna was immediately comfortable in their home and I’m sure will be very excited to visit again.”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
