“Amanda was a the best! She was so sweet with my pup and is the best communicator! I was able to focus on my event and had no stress know that she was watching after my fur baby.”


“Alan was great. He was available when I needed to communicate with him when I was out of town. My pooch was calm and happy when I returned. Alan sent me pictures during their walks. It was a relief to not worry when I traveled.”


“Nicole was wonderful! She was happy to come by and meet the dogs (and me) in advance, and upon meeting her I had no reservations about having her watch our pets in our home. She sent photos while we were gone and was very communicative. Would highly recommend!”


“Amanda was simply amazing. We are navigating a new illness with one of the pups, and she didn’t hesitate to step in and be willing to help. She made sure Bella was well cared for, giving her medicine and adjusting to her new food routine. Amanda checked in several times a day to give updates. I greatly appreciate Amanda’s flexibility and ensuring that I was able to have a weekend away without worrying about the dogs.”


“Joanna did a great job!! She was very communicative. She sent pictures of the pets regularly, followed all directions left, reached out with any questions, and left the house tidy upon the end of the service. She even came over a week before to meet the pets and familiarize herself with the location of foods and treats! Very thankful for her work!”


“Paige was amazing with my 2 large high maintenance dogs. She took such good care of them that I didn’t worry at all while I was out of town. I highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the future. Thank you so much Paige!”


“Avery did such a wonderful job with my girl Zenna. Zenna likes at least one activity event per day and Avery kept her incredibly entertained. I now think my dog has experienced more of Louisville than I have! I will certainly use Avery again😊”


“Ciara was an outstanding sitter. She went above and beyond in several ways and my animals were so happy and healthy when we got home from our wedding. Ciara made us and our fur babies feel like family and checked in regularly, respected our home and cleaned up leaving a clean home for us to enjoy and relax in. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and we can’t thank her enough! We will definitely be having her back.”



“Tabitha was wonderful with our pup, Mysa! The communication was great and we loved getting updates and photos throughout the sitting. Will definitely reach out for more sittings when we need!”


“Jordan took fantastic care of our 2 pups! She sent a ton of pictures and updates and our dogs were very happy with her. She took great care of our house too! Will of course use her again in the future.”


“We had a last minute trip scheduled and was in need of assistance with our dog. Robin was very helpful, caring and delight to have helping with our dog. She kept us informed of how he was doing, eating, bathroom and behavior. Helped him out with some tummy troubles. We would definitely use Robin again. This was our first time using Rover. From this experience it won’t be our last. Thanks Robin for taking such good care of our dog”


“Owen was fantastic! He communicated well and took such great care of our sweet pup. He also took immaculate care of the house. We already have him booked for another trip. We are grateful to have found him - our pup loves him!”


“Miranda was great. She was very timely and responsive. This was our first experience with Rover and Miranda and we could tell that our pup felt loved and comforted despite us being gone.”


“Carla was so wonderful to work with! We had Carla watch our two dogs in our home over thanksgiving and she took such great care of both the dogs and our home. We came back and she had vacuumed and washed her bedding and everything! Truly went above and beyond! One of our dogs had been having some behavioral issues against the other and we were upfront with needing someone prepared to handle this should it occur. Fortunately they were on their best behavior and in the one instance of aggression she quickly jumped in, separated the dogs, and did exactly what I would have done. I cannot recommend Carla any higher for anyone looking for dog sitting services. I could even tell from the photos she shared how happy my dogs were the entire time meaning she was giving them plenty of love and attention. I will definitely be staying in touch and booking Carla again in the future.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have a huge love for them! Many friends and family have relied on me to care for their dogs ranging from any type and age! I also love to walk and am great taking dogs with me! I am currently working part time which makes me very flexible and easily available to get anywhere in a short time! I am able to let your dog out as many times as it needs and dedicate playtime! My yard is fully fenced and I have a very friendly golden retriever! I am able to take your dog anywhere, give it the medicine it needs, and take your dog on long or short walks!

About: I've always had pets of all kinds and it is such a joy to care for them! I grew up with a dog, bird, lizards, rats, and hamsters, and now have a Pyrenees and two bunnies. I have also fostered puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience with all walks of life I work full time, but in a flexible job where it's easy for me to come visit your pets multiple times a day. I love to run and walk, so taking your pups for any type of exercise is the best part of my day! I always treat my pets like another member of the family and will treat your babies with the same love, care, and respect. It's hard to be away from them and you need to feel secure that they are well cared for.

“It was a pleasure to have Mitzi pet sit at our house. It is obvious that she loves animals and they were very comfortable around her. Mitzi kept us updated with text and pictures all weekend. We would definitely ask her again in the future and trust her with our furry family!”


About: With years of hands-on experience caring for small dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know their unique personalities and quirks. Each dog is a little bundle of joy, whether they’re a spirited Chihuahua, a playful Pomeranian, or a heart-melting Maltese. Working with small dogs of all temperaments has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and adaptability in providing the best care possible. For small dog owners, I take pride in not just being a caregiver, but a partner in promoting a healthy, happy life for their furry family members. Every wag of the tail or playful bark serves as a reminder of the bond we cultivate together. Whether it’s through fostering their individual needs or simply providing comforting companionship, I find joy in every moment spent with these delicate little souls. In the world of small dogs, every paw print speaks love, and I’m honored to be a part of their journey. I work part-time with animals, and they are my passion so I make all the time I can for them! I can provide quick bathroom breaks, or long enriching walks. Small dogs often benefit from personalized care. I take pride in being a dedicated walker or sitter that can cater to their specific needs and preferences during each visit. I have experience with senior dogs, feeding schedules, and basic enrichment needs as well.
