House Sitting Valley Station

About: I have always had dogs inside my household growing up so I am knowledgeable in taking care of pets. I currently take care of my parents dog and even have a few other friends I dog sit for on occasion. I regularly take care of my parents dog and I regularly take him for walks, feed him on a regular schedule and ensure his water bowl is full. I love the company of any dog as I live alone and have no children. I have a clean home where a dog cannot easily access things that they should not be. I love getting out for exercise so they will have walks and play time. I also work from home and can work from any home if need be. This makes it very easy to let dogs out for potty breaks and make sure they are fed and have water.

“Dawn was amazing! This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and I was a little anxious, I was worried my dogs might not behave perfectly and I was generally nervous about someone coming and staying at my house while I was not there. Dawn is an exceptional person and when we met up for a meet and greet, I told her about my fears and she was very understanding. She helped to settle my concerns and she even came over to my home a little early to meet with my animals and to allow them to acclimate to her presence. THEN, she proceeded to send me pictures and updates on my babies while I was away. 10/10. Absolutely adore her. My babies loved her and I will be using her services in the future, if I have to go somewhere and I can’t take my animals.”

“Everything went very well! Aiden kept in touch with me, sending pictures of the boys, which helped me feel better about leaving them. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and would be honored to care for your furry family members. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large and small dogs, as well as indoor and feral cats, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, needs, and energy levels. My professional background is in senior care, where I coordinated care across West Louisville and served as an Activities Director in several local senior living communities. Those roles taught me the importance of patience, reliability, communication, and treating every individual with kindness and respect. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, a calm presence, or just someone dependable to keep their routine on track, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My 2-year-old loves dogs, and caring for pets is a sweet way for our family to spend time with animals while providing them with a loving, comfortable home environment. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but my kids and I are very active and love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention and playtime. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family with a safe, comfortable space to relax, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, meals and medications given exactly as instructed, and lots of love and supervision. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and can accommodate crate-trained pets if needed. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable in their familiar environment while providing reliable walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, litter box or potty cleanup, and any medication or special care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Jon was awesome with our pups! From setting up a meet-and-greet to the day we returned, he was super communicative, punctual, and beyond accommodating with our schedule. Not to mention, an A++ house guest. We would definitely have him as a sitter again!”

“She absolutely wonderful with My fur Baby Anthony.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life, I’ve taken care of them as I can remember. I started watching family members animals in 2015 and for some of their friends since 2016. I’m experienced with all kinds of dogs and cats. I am also experienced with watching multiple dogs and cats at once. I am currently available to take your pets on walks or do check ins any time before 2pm everyday, except Tuesdays. I’m available any time on Tuesdays! I also am available to stay overnight and pet sit whenever is needed! I am used to taking care of dogs that need special attention, so I understand any request that you would have! I 2 cats of my own and have had dogs pretty much my whole life, so I’ll take care of your animals like my own. I’m sure an animal lover that I would love to take care of any pets :)

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature. I’ve pet sat for friends and family, including caring for my friend’s dog during trips and helping care for my partner’s dogs while she’s in nursing school. I’ve also looked after a kitten. I make sure every pet is fed, gets plenty of exercise and potty breaks, stays clean if bathing is requested, and receives lots of love, attention, and patience.

“Penny was excellent with the full day care of our two dogs, one being blind. She sent numerous pics throughout the day . Carried our blind dog out to go and walk outside a bit, played with our GSD. We will definitely use her again, she is a professional and very caring.”

“We didn’t get to use Diane this time. Our 14 year old Border Collie, Mouse, passed right before Diane was supposed to sit. My husband ended up canceling his trip and stayed home with our cats. However, Diane was very professional and friendly during our meet and greet and extremely empathetic upon finding out about Mouse.”

About: I’ve always been known to have a dog by my side. They were my family and they came first. I cared for them through every stage of life - some adopted as puppies and others rescued in old age. I've trained puppies and administered medications. After loving and losing many dogs, I made a thoughtful decision not to adopt again. Now I devote my time, experience, and full-hearted attention to the daily care of other people’s dogs as I've always done for my own. My goal is to host one dog a day, maybe 2...(if the first parents agree and they enjoy each others' company). I am only available to house-sit (in your home) in special circumstances and if/when I have no daily doggies who require my attention. Advanced notice is required. I operate as a fully insured limited liability company and provide care in a calm, secure, and attentive home environment. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives my full focus, patience, and respect. My yard is fenced and I have no pets or children living here — just quiet space for your dog. I offer a "day camp," not a kennel. Dogs enjoy a fenced front porch and back yard with full furniture privileges. Dog TV and "Calming Music for Dogs" via Alexa are available throughout the stay.

About: Hello! I love looking after family and friend’s pets and would love the chance to do it more often. I’m responsible and caring and I will take very good care of your pets. Hi! I’m a flight attendant on reserve, which basically means I’m on call. So I’ll know a head of time the days I’m off for the following month. The days I’m call, I’ll usually be at home waiting around, so I’ll still be free to do pop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. I will walk them frequently. I will also make sure they are well taken care of and loved until they are back with you.

“Kristin was awesome with our dogs. When she came for the first meeting our dogs had no issues with her so we knew it was going to be a great fit for them. She was communicative during her stay while sitting at our home. She sent pictures and was all around a great sitter. We will definitely use Kristin again in the future!”

About: For me, pet sitting on Rover is so much more than a job—it is a true passion rooted in 30 years of dedicated animal care experience. Over the decades, I have had the absolute joy of looking after all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats and small animals. I know firsthand that every single pet is a cherished family member with their own unique personality and routine. Because of this lifelong background, I am incredibly adaptable; I know exactly how to keep up with a high-energy puppy, gently comfort a shy senior cat, or carefully manage specialized feeding schedules for your pets. I treat every animal in my care exactly how I would want my own pets to be treated: with endless patience, safety, and deep affection. Leaving a pet can be stressful for owners, so I always leverage my decades of experience to prioritize clear communication, reliability, and daily updates that give families complete peace of mind. I am fully confident in my ability to connect with and care for any type of pet, and I am dedicated to making sure both you and your companion feel completely safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work as a handy-man so my hours are flexible enough to need your pets every needs from stopping by and playing multiple times a day to sitting with them all day and night. I also have an animal friend home with pleanty of play area and 1 acre of fenced in yard for them to play. My 3 dogs and 3 cats welcome any animal into the household with open paws. My gentle giant st. Bernard and German shepherd are rough enough to play tug of war with the biggest of dogs but gentle enough to cuddle and protect a 5lb teacup Yorkie.

“Haley did amazing! Very responsive and was great with communication! Will definitely be booking her again. She made me feel at ease leaving my dog with her!”

“Brynne was so great! She worked with our other Rover sitter to make sure my pets had care while we were gone and she noticed when my dog started itching and let me know so I could order him meds. I really appreciate her picking them up for me and getting him started on them! I would 100% recommend Brynne!”

“Destiny was incredible with my 5 month old puppy. She took care of her like she was her own and I did not have to worry for one minute! She sent plenty of pictures and spoiled my baby rotten. I will definitely use her again!”
