“Stephen and Angela are absolutely great! Watched our pups during our wedding weekend and was at total ease. I was sent pictures of them everyday along with a reassuring message. Thank y’all so much!”
“Once again Carla was a FANTASTIC dog sitter! Stella was so happy staying at Carla's house and playing with Moncho. She was easy to contact and sent pictures throughout our weekend away. Stella had her own little bed to sleep in--safe and sound. We had such a wonderful weekend away knowing that Stella was well taken care of. I highly recommend Carla to you. She is responsible, reliable, and shares her love of dogs freely. ”
“We needed a boarding sitter for our sweet Minnie girl on pretty short notice, due to a death in the family. Stefan was absolutely fabulous and took such good care of her! He didn’t mind at all giving her eye drops and medications and changing her diapers frequently. You can tell he loves dogs and he was so happy to have our little 10lb Minnie for the three days we were gone. And Minnie was a happy girl while while she was there; she especially loved the ability to roam in his fenced in back yard, which we do not have!! I will definitely contact him first when we need boarding again!”
“Incredible experience with Jared and Waverly. Oakley got to meet new friends, all while I was constantly communicated with. These two are some amazing and nice folks, I couldn’t recommend them enough. I will be coming back for sure.”
“We were first time Rover users and Beth was super accommodating and patient with our many questions. Her little dog Tupac got along well with our dog, helping with the transition. Beth does a great job of communicating. She sent daily updates and photos so that we could see how Josie was doing. Beth is very good. Highly recommend.”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“Sofia was very easy to work with and helped provide all of the information that I needed to feel very comfortable about my dog’s stay. I can tell that he loved his walks and his cuddles. I will be hoping to book with her anytime we go out of town!”
“Ian was amazing! He stayed in contact with us so we knew our baby was comfortable and happy. She is older, deaf, and not used to being alone since I work from home. He dealt with her laundry list of specific needs and never missed a beat. She made a new friend and we will be using him again if we ever have another need for extended care.”
“Angela is the best of the best! Super easy to coordinate with, she took so many pictures of Yeti while I was out of town—it looked like he had an absolute blast. Cannot recommend Angela enough!”
“Li was fantastic! I actually think our puppers was sad to come home after being so spoiled by Li and her family. We got regular updates, photos and videos of how he was doing that put us at ease. We are so thankful our pup had a home while we were away that cared for him as much as we do.”
“I am so glad I found Dan. She took amazing care of our dog in her home while we were on vacation. I was so relieved to know he was getting the same amount (if not more haha!) of attention, love, and activity as we give him. She took him on long walks, played with him at the park, gave him extra treats, and even bathed him when he got a little dirty playing outside. Dan sent us plenty of photos and videos while we were gone. I will use Dan any time we are out of town again and I couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Gabriella took great care of my older dog. Winnie seem d very hapoy (although tired) after her stay at Gabreilla’s. Her dog Yeti is really good with other dogs and became buddies with my dog that don’t used to being around other animals. Highly recommend Gabreilla for any pet sitting needs”
“Heather is amazing! We went on a two week vacation and knowing our little bubby was having a great time and being well taken care of made it so much easier and removed the guilt of not being able to take him with us. Thanks so much Heather!”
“As always, our dog loves hanging out with Elizabeth and Phillip. I know he can be a handful but they don't seem to mind. Really appreciate their patience.”
“Ebony was wonderful with my big guy. It was his first time having a sleepover with a sitter and I am beyond grateful for her patience with him. As well as with me and I would recommend her every time.”
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life but have taken care of pets on and off for family and friends! I’m a full time nanny so care is my specialty! I’m available for boarding on weekends but on weekdays I work full time. Always reach out though, my schedule is ever changing and I am always down to make things work! I have a big unfenced yard with a creek for your fur baby to have some fun! There are parks near by for walking! When it comes to cats, I have my own room with a big window looking out at the creek to keep them away from my roommates two cats!
“Sarah sis really great with our dogs. They came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Sarah took they on walks and allowed them on couches and beds. We are so appreciate of her and the positive stay had by our pups! Would recommend and book again.”

“Jane was a fantastic pet sitter for our two cats. She stayed at our house, fed, and kept our two lively young cats company. She sent us pictures during the stay so we could see that they were doing well. She made our vacation so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Will definitely use her again in the future.”

“We’ve used Ashlea for our high energy puppy as well as our 2 cats and she did a great job! Even when the puppy has some excitement pee problems, no issues 😅 she’s very communicative, punctual, and even helped us out for extra house care duties because of an emergency. Completely dependable :)”
“Janet was great with my three cats while I was on vacation for 5 days. Aside from basic feeding and cleaning the boxes, she took time to hang out with the kitties and play with them during her visit. She’s very responsive and left detailed notes each time she checked on the cats. Janet also took a bunch of cute pictures for every visit. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dependable and sweet pet sitter!”
“Grace was an excellent pet sitter for our three cats. She was professional, responsible, and communicated clearly throughout our time away. We always knew how our cats were doing, which gave us peace of mind. She followed instructions carefully, was dependable, and treated our cats with genuine care. We would not hesitate to trust Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter”
“Taylor was amazing!! We were referred to her by a coworker and she was awesome! When she first came into our home, our cats immediately approached her and wanted her attention. She took lots of photos of our cats and gave written updates everyday about what the cats were up to. Our cats can be very rambunctious and Taylor played with them and kept them entertained. We are so grateful for her service! :)”
“Joanna takes good care of my kitty. She sent us some pictures during our travel. Thanks to her, our travel was with no worries. This is the first time I hire a pet sitter through Rover, and I am pretty satisfied.”
“McKenna was AMAZING! I had a horrible experience with Rover before and so I was worried to use it again. McKenna reassured me COMPLETELY! She followed everything we asked to make our time away from our babies smooth. Our cats adjusted great when we got back because of her interaction with them! If we ever go out of town again, McKenna will be the person I book!”
“Literally the best, Annie took on my drop in last minute and my normally shy cat loved her!🫶🏼 Feel so blessed to have found her wasn’t able to meet her and she was so trustworthy and my stress levels went all the way down. the videos and pics put me at so much ease. will definitely book again and tell my mom about it her. My girl has a new best friend‼︎♡ thank you thank you!!!”
“Mary is amazing and I am so thankful for her care of my two kitties! She takes amazing care and is very thorough in her notes after doing a check in, and send lots of photos! 10/10 service.”
About: I’ve worked in the vet field for 5+ years and have taken care of many cats during that time. I don’t currently have any cats of my own, but I have lots of niece and nephew cats that I love and care for and would do the same for your babies.
About: While most of my experience has been with dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for cats and enjoy learning each cat's unique personality; whether they’re playful, shy, or the “I’ll observe you from a distance” type. I had a cat of my own and I loved her like she was my own daughter and I spoiled her. I will also spoil your fur babies! 🐾
“This was my first time using Rover, and Lauran made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond when any issues came up. I would absolutely book with her again!”

I try my best to give my animals lots of mental stimulations, either a puzzle to work with or a fun catch game to play, there's never a boring day in their life. I look forward to spare the fun and love to your beloved pets too. I'm currently searching for master degree, I have plenty of times in hand to take care of pets. I'm available for boarding anytime, I can do early morning or late night. In my home, there is a fenced backyard, where the dog could play.

“Nicole was absolutely outstanding. She checked on, fed, and loved on our two kitties while we were gone for 2 weeks. She took such good care of them! She went above and beyond - took in our packages, took up our trash, and even cleaned up kitty litter that the cats tracked through the house. Her communication was amazing and she sent regular updates and pictures. We felt so comfortable having Nicole at our home while we were gone. We will 1000% have Nicole take care of our animals again!”

“Angela and Stephen are so great! My two littermates had a great time playing with them today. They have a great backyard and live in a super cute quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood.”
“Jared and Waverly were great with our dogs, and even managed to get my curmudgeon named skittles to positively interact with a couple older dogs! They were flexible and understanding of my changing schedule, as we were on a road trip and only needed help for a few hours. If I’m ever in Louisville with the doggos again I’d contact them straightaway”
“We came from out of town looking for someone to take care of our Lab for the day while we visited the bourbon trail. We found Jessica. She was awesome and took great care of our dog. Our dog was completely comfortable and had a great time in her fenced yard. We highly recommend her ! We gave her 5 STARS! Thank you Jessica”
“I’m so happy Bear had a great time with this sitter, she was amazing at being available short notice and took very good care of my dog. I highly recommend this sitter!”
About: I had dogs and cats in my house my entire childhood. I helped feed them and walk them, gave them medications and played with them. I’ve even given a rowdy Doberman eye drops 😅 long story short, since moving away, I’m looking to have more pets in my life. As for cats, I also grew up cleaning litter boxes and dealing with diet changes. I’ve brushed cats on a very regular basis and love playing with them. I am also here to listen for any other requests or special needs that your pet may have! Whether that be for medications, treats, specifications for walking, training commands, etc. I’m here for you! I am currently working part time with an extremely flexible schedule. I am a stay at home mom expecting my first in August 2024 and spend time taking care of my own dog as well! I am an animal lover, so I am all about the pets, cuddles, and play time! I love to run around with them, play fetch, or just let them do their thing. All animals have different needs and I’m all about observing and listening to them in the moment.
About: I have helped raise a bottle fed kitten and cared for a senior beagle in his last year. I care for and adopt mostly adult dogs, but I haven't met one I don't like! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible to fit in lots of home visits with overnight stay possible! I have my own dog that goes out 3 times a day already, so fitting in pet care is a breeze! I have an apartment with 2 bedrooms where dogs can sleep separate from my own dog. My complex is very dog friendly with all pets on leash, and large areas to sniff and poop as well as a park & track in walking distance.
“Chris is as great as always. We’re always at peace when Summer is with him. For anyone who is looking for a reliable and knowledgeable sitter on Rover, look no further, Chris is your guy!!!”
“Colin was absolutely amazing! I found him on short notice and he was super accommodating. I have a yorkie puppy who seemed to play fabulously with his Yorkies. Pups came back super tired from all the play time all while Colin kept me up to date with photos throughout the day. Highly recommend and will use again!”
About: Hello! I’m a tenured physics Professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently care for three cats of my own and have many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I am patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.
“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.”
“My puppy Leroy had a blast with Racheal! She was very flexible with times and was great with communicating with us! This was his first time being out of the house and he loved it!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was about 10 years old, I’ve been trusted with families as well as family, friends, and family to watch dogs. Ever since I was born, I’ve grown up with a yellow lab, and a Labradoodle, who I currently have still I’ve cared for dogs, my whole life, and understand the importance of finding someone who is reliable and trustworthy to watch your dog. I am a sophomore at the University of Kentucky and home for the summer. I have a Summer job that I work three times a week but I do not work all day, so watching your dog would be a simple task. I understand the importance of making sure your dog is safe and with someone who is trusted, which is why I will ensure to send pictures and give my full attention to your dog whether it’s helping with medicine, which I have to do with my current dog understanding its behaviors.

“Courtney was very professional and had good communication. She invited us in and introduced her family. She has a fully fenced in back. She also provided a complete pee/poop/eat/nap report. Daisy seemed very happy. We'd definitely use Courtney's services again.”
About: We have owned dogs since we each were children. Our dogs have been from puppies until they moved across the rainbow bridge. Mostly small to mid size dogs. Misty is home almost all the time. Tom works and is home in the evening. Week days are available with Wednesday evening pick up by 5 PM. Saturday daytime is also fine. Over night stay is available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Special arrangements could be made for Wednesday or Sunday night. We have two dogs who are each 10 years old. They will need to adapt to having other dogs visit. They have crates, and baby gate to separate as needed until all dogs are comfortable. We will give all pets plenty of attention. We have an empty room where visiting pets can spend time. We have a rope tied from tree to tree with dog leashes attached for free exercise and potty time in the yard. This keeps them safe and prevents running away. For overnight care the spare room will be supplies with a soft blanket for a bed.
About: I have been caring for pets for the last eight years for colleagues. I am a history teacher at St. Margaret Mary and I have never met a dog that I did not get along with.

He is crate trained and we have different areas of the house in case you need to have your pet separate. I live in a culdesac so walking is very safe within my neighborhood.

About: Since graduating high school, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve pet‑sat on and off over the last few years and am hoping to take on more jobs this summer before starting my senior year of college in August. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I can’t wait for the opportunity to work with you and your pets! I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time each day to focus on caring for pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to give consistent attention and maintain a reliable routine for your pet. I always prioritize safety and comfort, whether that means supervised outdoor play, quiet indoor time, or crating if needed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean, and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi, I'm Jess, a lifelong animal advocate, former shelter director, ordained interspecies animal chaplain, and experienced caretaker based in Prospect, Kentucky. I've spent years working hands-on with animals of all sizes, species, temperaments, and health needs. As Operations Director at the Terre Haute Humane Society, I worked directly alongside veterinarians to implement shelter medicine protocols and quality of life standards, giving me informal vet tech experience that most pet sitters simply don't have. I'm comfortable medicating dogs and cats, administering treatments, bathing, trimming nails, and supporting animals through illness and recovery. I bring a broad working knowledge of both pharmaceutical and natural health interventions, and I'm deeply familiar with navigating complex health needs, from post-surgical recovery to chronic illness management. For over five years, I fostered dogs through the Terre Haute Humane Society, including puppies and adults with serious behavioral challenges, dogs who were facing euthanasia due to behavioral issues, and severely ill animals, including parvo puppies, which requires intensive, around-the-clock care and a steady nervous system. I also fostered adult dogs through For Paws Sake Canine Rescue and Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, and I've been an active exotic animal foster with the Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary since 2014, caring for rabbits and ferrets. I understand difficult dogs. Not in theory, but from real experience. I know how to read body language, set boundaries with compassion, and create safety for animals who don't trust easily. Every size, every temperament, every need. I've been there. I also bring a depth of care that goes beyond the physical. As an ordained interspecies animal chaplain, I hold deep reverence for the lives of animals and the people who love them, showing up from the joy of a new puppy to the grief of a final goodbye in a way that is interfaith, inclusive, and grounded in genuine care for the whole of a life. I am also a Level II Animal Reiki practitioner trained in the Let Animals Lead method, which means I offer animals choice, consent, and energetic support in a way that honors their autonomy and meets them exactly where they are. At home, I share my life with two dogs, Merlin, a GSD mix who is sensitive and intense and absolutely my heart, and Arthur, a small scrappy mixed breed who recently had a femoral head ostectomy and reminded me all over again what it means to care for an animal through something hard. They are my people. I am active, fit, and genuinely love a long walk or a full play session. Your dog will come home tired and happy. I promise. Your pet isn't a task on my list. They're the whole point. Pet care is not something I fit into my life. It is my life. I work fully from home, which means I am present, available, and attentive throughout the entire day. I am not leaving for an office or rushing between commitments. When your pet is in my care, someone who genuinely knows animals is home with them all day, every day. My routine is consistent and calm, which animals thrive on. I wake up early and go to bed early. Meals happen twice a day on a reliable schedule. Mornings are intentional and unhurried, which sets the tone for the whole day. I live in Norton Commons in Prospect, Kentucky, one of the most walkable and beautiful neighborhoods in the Louisville area. I have been known to walk nine miles a day with my dogs, and every dog in my care gets their own dedicated walk, at their own pace, on their own schedule. I walk dogs separately because each one deserves individual attention, their own rhythm, and their own time with me. That is not an inconvenience. That is just how I do it. For dogs staying in my home, we have a generous space, a calm environment, and two resident dogs who are well-socialized and accustomed to sharing their space with visitors. For cats, I have a dedicated room that belongs entirely to them, completely separate from the dogs. Their day includes multiple play sessions, consistent feeding times, and unhurried morning time with me, typically two hours, where I am simply present with them in their space. No rushing, no chaos, just quiet companionship and genuine attention. Whether you need me in my home or yours, the consistency, presence, and care remain exactly the same. Safety and trust are not afterthoughts in how I care for animals. They are the foundation. In my home, my environment is calm, intentional, and animal-centered. I live with two dogs of my own, which means visiting pets are welcomed into a space that already understands animal needs, respects boundaries, and moves at an animal's pace. I do not rush introductions. I allow animals to acclimate on their own terms, reading their body language carefully before asking anything of them. For animals who need separation, quiet, or their own space, I provide that without hesitation. In a client's home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would want someone to bring into mine. I follow established routines closely, because consistency is safety for animals. I pay attention to the details, what a pet eats, how they move, what makes them comfortable, and what signals that something is off. I notice things. It is both training and instinct at this point. With my background in shelter medicine, informal veterinary support, and years of caring for animals with complex health and behavioral needs, I am equipped to handle the unexpected calmly and competently. I know when something is routine and when something needs attention, and I will always communicate transparently with you about your pet's well-being. My goal in every setting is simple: your pet should feel safe, seen, and at ease. Whether I am in my home or yours, that standard does not change.
“Justin was fantastic! He came to walk my Great Pyrenees, Boo, who can be reactive to other dogs on walks, and I immediately felt confident leaving him in Justin’s care. Before the walk, he took the time to ask questions. Justin was incredibly kind and patient with Boo, and it was obvious that Boo had a great time! He even came early in the morning to help us beat the summer heat, which I really appreciated. After their one hour walk, Boo came home happy, relaxed, and tired! I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, from playful puppies to chill senior dogs and independent cats. I make sure they’re happy, safe, and loved, follow their routines, and don’t mind giving meds or keeping things clean. Every pet gets attention, playtime, and lots of love while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, I already spend a lot of time walking, playing with, and caring for my own pets. I enjoy starting and ending my day with animals, whether it’s morning feedings, playtime, or evening walks. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I make sure they’re well fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or quiet company.
“Annie is so sweet and so so so patient with my Pearl girl! My dog can be so finicky with who she walks with and Annie is always patient as she works through the process with her. She is also super flexible when coordinating schedules.”
“Alycia is the best!! She was very accommodating to the schedule when I needed her and she took the best care of my pup. I loved getting pictures and updates.. I could tell my dog loved spending time with her. She went above and beyond giving him extra cuddles and play time 😊 can’t recommend enough!!”
About: I am a doctoral candidate in Biology at UofL, so you know I'm good at organization and scheduling! I think my time as a graduate student has sharpened my reasoning and communication skills as well. It's also increased my animal handling experience (mice)! I've had pets my whole life, mostly cats and dogs. My most recent pet is an elderly shi tzu with a surprising amount of energy! Apollo is a very skiddish cat, but we've definitely earned each others' trust. I can drop by to check on your pet, take them out for a walk (if weekday, must be before 10am or after 5pm, can be flexible), check on them periodically to feed them, or house sit (weekends only). I am a grad student, so I'm usually busy during weekdays 10am-5pm. Most of my work now is away from the bench, so I can be a little flexible about those hours Weekends are generally open! I love in an apartment that doesn't allow animals so I can't keep any here. I can however watch your furry friend at your house or take them on walks around the neighborhood!
“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog! She is always on time, gives us updates on the walks, and helps adjust to anything we might need for that particular day regarding the dog's needs. I would trust her with my dog any time!”
“Kat is amazing! She is prompt, responsible, communicates well, and is great with my dog. She consistently brings him back well exercised and happy! Highly recommend! I am grateful to have found her and feel pretty lucky—and my dog feels the same!”
“Winnie looked like she was loving her walk! Oliver responded really quickly to requests, was quite communicative and I loved the photos! (I hav a hard time getting good ones of her.) Thanks, Oliver!”
About: I was a three times a day dog walker for an elderly neighbor. When she passed I took ownership of dog. Now I am looking for some new clients. I work from home and dog walk. I have the time to give to your pup tons of walks, play with them, and give lots of kisses. I can play with your dog in your home. Give your pup a break from the crate and have me walk and get play with your dog.
About: I have been working with dogs from a young age. I Worked in a kennel to help exercise and train animals for 3 years. After that, my family began fostering dogs to help train and nurse them in order to get them adopted. I also have two dogs of my own that I love to exercise, play and cuddle with. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I am a doctor of physical therapy that is currently pursuing K9 physical therapy. While doing so, I have the flexibility to care for your pet while away. Contact me for more details! I currently make my own schedule. My job requires me to make visits around town and can always swing by at any point of the day to check on the animals. I work from home 1 day a week and love to spend my weekends relaxing with your pups! I can easily care for your dog however you would like. Long walks, play time, whatever they need! I have experience with reactive dogs as well and I will always avoid triggers for them.

“Stephen and Angela are absolutely great! Watched our pups during our wedding weekend and was at total ease. I was sent pictures of them everyday along with a reassuring message. Thank y’all so much!”
“We needed a boarding sitter for our sweet Minnie girl on pretty short notice, due to a death in the family. Stefan was absolutely fabulous and took such good care of her! He didn’t mind at all giving her eye drops and medications and changing her diapers frequently. You can tell he loves dogs and he was so happy to have our little 10lb Minnie for the three days we were gone. And Minnie was a happy girl while while she was there; she especially loved the ability to roam in his fenced in back yard, which we do not have!! I will definitely contact him first when we need boarding again!”
“Incredible experience with Jared and Waverly. Oakley got to meet new friends, all while I was constantly communicated with. These two are some amazing and nice folks, I couldn’t recommend them enough. I will be coming back for sure.”
“We were first time Rover users and Beth was super accommodating and patient with our many questions. Her little dog Tupac got along well with our dog, helping with the transition. Beth does a great job of communicating. She sent daily updates and photos so that we could see how Josie was doing. Beth is very good. Highly recommend.”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“Ian was amazing! He stayed in contact with us so we knew our baby was comfortable and happy. She is older, deaf, and not used to being alone since I work from home. He dealt with her laundry list of specific needs and never missed a beat. She made a new friend and we will be using him again if we ever have another need for extended care.”
“Angela is the best of the best! Super easy to coordinate with, she took so many pictures of Yeti while I was out of town—it looked like he had an absolute blast. Cannot recommend Angela enough!”
“I am so glad I found Dan. She took amazing care of our dog in her home while we were on vacation. I was so relieved to know he was getting the same amount (if not more haha!) of attention, love, and activity as we give him. She took him on long walks, played with him at the park, gave him extra treats, and even bathed him when he got a little dirty playing outside. Dan sent us plenty of photos and videos while we were gone. I will use Dan any time we are out of town again and I couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Gabriella took great care of my older dog. Winnie seem d very hapoy (although tired) after her stay at Gabreilla’s. Her dog Yeti is really good with other dogs and became buddies with my dog that don’t used to being around other animals. Highly recommend Gabreilla for any pet sitting needs”
“As always, our dog loves hanging out with Elizabeth and Phillip. I know he can be a handful but they don't seem to mind. Really appreciate their patience.”
“Ebony was wonderful with my big guy. It was his first time having a sleepover with a sitter and I am beyond grateful for her patience with him. As well as with me and I would recommend her every time.”
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life but have taken care of pets on and off for family and friends! I’m a full time nanny so care is my specialty! I’m available for boarding on weekends but on weekdays I work full time. Always reach out though, my schedule is ever changing and I am always down to make things work! I have a big unfenced yard with a creek for your fur baby to have some fun! There are parks near by for walking! When it comes to cats, I have my own room with a big window looking out at the creek to keep them away from my roommates two cats!
“Sarah sis really great with our dogs. They came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Sarah took they on walks and allowed them on couches and beds. We are so appreciate of her and the positive stay had by our pups! Would recommend and book again.”
“Ryo took care of our sweet Maddy and worked with us on such short notice. We appreciated the communication and pictures and can tell she was well cared for. We will definitely be contacting him again for doggie sitting in the future. Thanks Ryo!!”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”
“Mariah and her family are truly the best! I’m so thankful to have someone local I trust to care for my pups while I’m away! She does an incredible job messaging daily updates (with pictures) and keeping me in the loop ♥️”
“Collin is the best! Whenever I’m in KY he’s my go-to go for dog sitting. My Yorkie loves playing with his, he is very great at communicating and sending pics throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Grace was great. Having one dog with health issues we were comforted with her professional experience. We had some major personal complications (including the one dog having to be put to sleep) and she was willing to work through the issues that came up. Grace was very understanding of the situation, and had then had to deal with a now anxious dog who just lost her partner and had to go alone to someone she didn't know. Grace made her feel at home. We were very satisfied with Grace and her pet accommodations. We would definitely use her again.”
