“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.”

I give lots of quality time to the pets that are in my care.

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.

Give your pup a break from the crate and have me walk and get play with your dog.

“Yeti had THE BEST time during his stay with Meg & her family. I really appreciated the updates while I was away-the pictures and videos really made my day. Meg’s dog Bubba is also super playful so it truly was like he was away at day camp with his friends. Thank you a million for loving on my Yeti boy while I was out of town!”
About: We believe every dog deserves individualized care, which is why we only board one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows us to provide a calm, low-stress environment where your pup receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. Our family genuinely enjoys having dogs in our home. Our friendly Siberian Husky loves canine companionship, and our three children enjoy playing fetch, exploring the backyard, and giving our guests lots of love and attention. We tailor each stay to your dog’s personality and needs—whether that means long walks and outdoor adventures or a quiet day relaxing inside. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because we’ve boarded our own dog, too. That’s why communication is one of our priorities. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates along with messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pup is doing. Safety is equally important to us. We have a large, securely fenced backyard, require current vaccinations, and carefully introduce dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable. We also keep our schedule flexible so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods and receives the care and attention they deserve. Our goal is simple: to make your dog feel like part of our family while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. We work from home and have flexible schedules, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Because we only care for one family’s pet(s) at a time, we can tailor our routine to meet your dog’s individual needs and help them feel right at home. Our pets are part of the family! Our friendly Siberian Husky loves to play and enjoys the company of other dogs. We provide daily walks, playtime, plenty of outdoor time in our securely fenced yard, and lots of love and attention. We can accommodate crate-trained dogs and tailor each stay to your pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, so they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

“Shaine took care of a feral cat that I have been caring for over the last eight years. Feral cats choose people not the other way around. It was obvious from how close this cat came to Shaine that she is good people. I would recommend Shaine for simple or complicated pet sitting needs.”
“I liked Asher when I met her immediately! She was so positive and had a bright energy! She had a great connection with my kitten almost immediately. He came right up to her, and all the other cats were comfortable, which says a lot! She took plenty of pictures, was on time with her appointments which we scheduled, was communicative, and especially played with the kitten while I was out of town! I have already booked her two additional times!”

“This was my second time booking with Lauran, and once again she was absolutely wonderful! Having someone I can trust with my two cats gives me so much peace of mind while we're away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, made sure my cats were well cared for, and even managed to earn the trust of my very shy cat, which says a lot! It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Mary went above and beyond! She took such great care of my babies while I was away and kept me constantly updated throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in excellent hands.

I will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
“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!”

Able to give simple meds, provide all basic cat care needs and understand sometimes caring for a cat means imma have to bleed to make sure they get the care they need, and won’t hold a grudge against you nor the cat.
“Graycie, my CAT, seems to be more content after this trip away from her. She is usually very worked up when I come home. I am very pleased with her care by Annie. Good reports from her. Next trip, I will request Annie. Annie is the sweetest person. On the meet and greet, Graycie immediately took to Annie.”
“Penny did an exceptional job caring for our two cats during our 2.5‑week international trip. She was reliable, easy to reach, and provided daily messages with photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We had a minor hiccup with our automated litter box being unplugged before we left (100% our fault), and Penny helped us resolve it quickly and smoothly. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we returned, which speaks to the attentive care she provided. Thank you so much, Penny!”

“Stephen and Angela provided daycare for about 2 weeks for my pup. They took great care of him and were very understanding with schedule changes. I would recommend them!”
“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”
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 several years of working with, dogs, cats, as well as small animals such as hamsters, and bunnies. I am currently a veterinary student so I can also sit your animals like birds, reptiles, ect. I have a part time job that is extremely flexible and currently my classes are online with certain classes throughout the month where I have to physically be there. I will up date you with my schedule accordingly. Since I have this much flexibility I tend to say I’m free. :) I currently have a dog and two cats who are very friendly. My orange tabby is very shy so he runs and hides a lot but my other cat is very sweet and sociable. My dog is the same, he grew up around other smaller dogs and cats. He does have anxiety around bigger dogs so he’ll hide behind me when meeting one.
“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!”
“Chris and his family were so great to work with! He kept me updated on how well the dogs were playing and even sent pictures when my dog, Jasper, picked up his kids from school. So cute! I would highly recommend!”

About: Hello! You can call me Wendy. I’m a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently have three cats of my own and 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’m patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. For pets boarding in my home, I understand that some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. If you prefer, I can keep my three cats completely separate from your pet for the entire stay, so your pet can relax in a safe, quiet environment. 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.
“Alycia was amazing and Bosey loved her. She was wonderful and accommodating. She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Her home is perfect for dachshunds because steps aren't good for Bosey's back. I am so grateful for her.”
About: “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk Peace of mind is everything while you are away. I will provide tons of updates and pictures for you to rest assured your baby is in good hands. Many of my clients return again and again, it’s the greatest compliment! I am a compassionate, flexible, reliable pet sitter that will treat your doggie like family. You can feel secure, knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands while you are away. If your pet requires any type of special needs or medication, you can rely on my experience. I have a house with a fully fenced in back yard. I keep my bookings very limited and only accept overlapping puppers when they’re a calm, proven fit. They will get the extra attention they deserve while also having a couple of canine playmates! I work from home so I am able to give your baby full attention, exercise and snuggles all day every day. They will have plenty of socialization and company. I have always loved animals of every kind. I have taken care of dogs for the past 20 years through myself or friends. I have raised & trained my sweet senior Doberman from 8 weeks old. I also have a rescue, a sweet senior Pomeranian that I have had for the past 11 years. In our free time we love going to the lake, camping, picnics in the parks, car rides, the dog park and the occasional pup cup! We would be thrilled for you to allow us to watch your sweet baby and go on adventures with us! I am always extremely flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs and schedule. I work from home so your fur baby will have constant companionship, mental, and physical exercise! I have a fully fenced in backyard and two very friendly dogs to keep them company and have fun-time playmates. We go out to potty at least every 1-2 hours. I also have a large and small crate for dogs that are crate trained unless you’d like to bring your own. I have a separate fully insured $1M policy for your peace of mind.
“Gabriella is wonderful and took great care of our Husky, Moose. She sent tons of pictures of him and Yeti playing, running, and playing some more. Yeti was great with Moose, and he has another friend to play with!”
“Sean took great care of our pup. The dog didn't go crazy when we came to pick him up which tells me he was very content. To the point he didn't want to stay in the car when we started to leave. lol. We will definitely return.”
“Rachel is so good to our little girl. She loves going to doggie day care and we feel so good about her being there with other dogs and humans who love her as much as we do!”
“Kimba had a great time with Sarah. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Sarah is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Sarah. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for over 20 years, with much of that time spent walking and handling shelter dogs—especially those that are anxious or unsure. That experience taught me how important calm, structure, and consistency are in helping dogs feel more confident. I run Trail & Heel, a dog training and adventure-based care service in Louisville. I focus on practical, real-world training—whether that’s working with puppies, improving leash manners, or helping nervous dogs build confidence. Every walk and interaction is handled with intention. For me, care and training go hand in hand, with the goal of helping dogs become calmer, more reliable, and easier to live with. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so it fits naturally into my routine. I plan my schedule around the dogs I’m working with so I’m not rushing between visits. That means each dog gets calm, consistent attention and a much better experience overall. Care is always tailored to the dog and the service, but the approach stays consistent: calm, structured, and intentional. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine—feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific instructions—while also reinforcing good habits like leash manners, calm greetings, and settling. In my home, I keep the environment structured and low-stress. Dogs get supervised time, appropriate exercise (including trail walks when it’s a good fit), and clear boundaries so they can relax and succeed. I only take on a small number of dogs at a time to make sure each one gets the attention they need.
About: My family got our first dog when I was 6 years old so I’ve been around dogs most of my life. Having taken care of them for so long, I understand what it takes to keep them happy. I recently lost my childhood dog and I miss being around dogs so much. This is a great way for me to stay around them! I am a college baseball player and just got back for the rest of summer. I am not working and have nothing going on so I am free all the time. I have a large yard but I will keep your dog supervised the whole time or leashed if needed. If your dog is at my house, it will be treated with even better care than usual, my whole family loves dogs.

About: As someone who regularly helps care for a German Shepherd-Husky mix, I’m comfortable with large energetic dogs and the responsibility that comes with them. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine and preferences. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by treating every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and staying active. I make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention they need. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine so they can feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a clients home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also respect my clients’ home and make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and exactly as they left it.

About: Since graduating high school, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family.

About: I’ve worked in animal shelters for more than a decade! Experienced with difficult behaviors, including arousal, resource guarding, stranger issues, and more. I use positive reinforcement only.

I have a fully-fenced half acre yard and friendly animals. For drop ins and services in your home, I will follow your instructions to a tee!

“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!”
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.
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.

About: Growing up, my family would foster a lot of dogs so I have a lot of experience with different breeds and different ages and different backgrounds. Nowadays, I just have my dog Daisy and cat mango who are very friendly to other pets. I am available throughout the entire week. On Monday Wednesday and Friday I work but can work from home as needed. I am available to take care of your babies whenever they need. I have a fenced in yard and very safe and friendly neighborhood. I give lots of quality time to the pets that are in my care.
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. Fridays are dog park day! 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.
“My dog Oban came home after 7 days and was calm and happy, not clingy! He was treated as a member of Elizabeth and Philip’s family. I feel so fortunate to have found Elizabeth and Philip! Thank you both!”
“Yeti had THE BEST time during his stay with Meg & her family. I really appreciated the updates while I was away-the pictures and videos really made my day. Meg’s dog Bubba is also super playful so it truly was like he was away at day camp with his friends. Thank you a million for loving on my Yeti boy while I was out of town!”
About: We believe every dog deserves individualized care, which is why we only board one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows us to provide a calm, low-stress environment where your pup receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. Our family genuinely enjoys having dogs in our home. Our friendly Siberian Husky loves canine companionship, and our three children enjoy playing fetch, exploring the backyard, and giving our guests lots of love and attention. We tailor each stay to your dog’s personality and needs—whether that means long walks and outdoor adventures or a quiet day relaxing inside. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because we’ve boarded our own dog, too. That’s why communication is one of our priorities. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates along with messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pup is doing. Safety is equally important to us. We have a large, securely fenced backyard, require current vaccinations, and carefully introduce dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable. We also keep our schedule flexible so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods and receives the care and attention they deserve. Our goal is simple: to make your dog feel like part of our family while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. We work from home and have flexible schedules, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Because we only care for one family’s pet(s) at a time, we can tailor our routine to meet your dog’s individual needs and help them feel right at home. Our pets are part of the family! Our friendly Siberian Husky loves to play and enjoys the company of other dogs. We provide daily walks, playtime, plenty of outdoor time in our securely fenced yard, and lots of love and attention.

“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.”
“Lauren watched our dog for three week. Our guy was well taken care of, and it was apparent in the pictures she sent that he had a great time with the other dogs at her house. Will definitely use again in the future.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and love that our sweet baby girl (Sol) received during her stay! Ebony was incredibly attentive, giving Sol the space she needed and a slow, gentle introduction. She even set aside special one-on-one time, keeping Sol entertained while they watched movies. We felt completely at ease knowing our baby girl was in such kind, thoughtful hands. Highly recommend!””
“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.”
