“Jubilee was very responsive and did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. Would definitely recommend her for pet care in the Lexington area.”

“Cat was fantastic! She was so good with my cats and it was a huge weight off my shoulders getting her dozen of pics everyday from her visit with them. My cats, while happy to see me home, will definitely be missing her daily visits. Highly recommend, will be rebooking with her in the future!”

“Angelee was great! She is very communicative, she sent us photos and videos of Savannah while we were away. Savannah is not the easiest cat to get along with, and she might be moody when she’s alone. But Angelee took her time to establish a connection with Savannah, play with her favorite toys, and make sure she was cared for. Thank you so much, Angelee! ✨”

“We have worked with Kara a few times already, and it has always been a great experience! Kara is very attentive to our cat Savannah and sends plenty of pictures, so that we don’t need to worry. 😄 Thank you so much, Kara!”

“Brittany has been amazing. My dog is super stubborn and timid and he wouldn’t go out, and then the next day he finally warmed up to her and he let her take him out. She sends pics, and great updates. Very thankful for her! Highly recommend”

“Tiffany was great! This was our first time using rover and everything went so smoothly! Tiffanys communication was great and we would love to utilize her in the future!”

“Ashtin & Jenison are awesome! This is my second time booking with them to watch my cat, Duchess. I always get lots of photos and Duchess looks very happy. They even brought in a laser toy for her! They helped me out with last minute requests and also with two extensions on my last visit. They are super friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat. i will definitely book with them again!”

About: I have always had dogs and loved them! I have pet sat anything from dogs to donkeys. I am ok with potty training, as I taught my own puppy!! short drop ins, long hours, overnight, I’ll do it all. I would love to help out your family💙 I have a very flexible schedule with class, and am available during the workday (and overnight)!! I can drop in to let the pooch out, or stay and let them get some energy out:) I am a great rule follower! If you have special instructions I will be sure to follow them closely. With having years and years of experience not only pet sitting, but fostering, and even owning my own dog, I can problem solve lots of the time aswell!!
“Jessica took such great care of my 12 week old puppy and followed all of our instructions. I will definitely choose Jessica if we need another drop in!!”

“Kelsey did a great job dropping in on my skittish little cat! She was very thorough and took a lot of care in tending to my cat. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had my cat, Hank (or my son, as I like to call him), for almost 6 years now. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and from a young age I was trusted with walking, feeding, and even administering medication to our senior dog. I’ve also cared for bunnies and other exotic animals—so if you have any special friends at home who need some extra love, I’m happy to help! I’m currently a student at UK and working a remote part-time internship on a campaign. I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays after 12pm, Wednesdays through Fridays before 3pm and after 5pm, and I’m very flexible on weekends. Let me know your pet’s routines or any special needs and I’m happy to adjust! This includes things like medications, reactivity on walks/with strangers, or anything else you think is important. I know how stressful it can be to be away from your pet, so I will be sure to treat your pet as if they’re my own! :)
About: I have had dogs in my household since I was 9 years old. I care for my current dog, Clyde. I have experience with all breeds including pit bulls. I have experience giving basic meds(oral pills, eye and ear drops). No animal is too big or small for me. I enjoy drop in visits to be your furry family member and long walks and playtime as needed! I am currently a full time sophomore at UK. My schedule is flexible whether it’s for a 30 minute drop in or 15 minute walk. I can easily care for your pets in your home for visits, walks or overnight stays. Unable to care for pets in my home due to renting.
“Addie was prompt, professional, and spent extra time with our dogs. We loved the pictures and could tell they were well taken care of while we were gone.”

“Rachel took great care of our cat! She was flexible with his needs, followed all care instructions perfectly, and provided lots of play time and pets at every drop-in. Communication with her was easy and prompt. She also was very respectful of our home and kept it tidy. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 16 years old and have experience with all kinds of pups. From young puppies to small breeds, and even dogs much bigger than me! Family and friends have always trusted me to feed, walk, and bathe their dogs, and I truly enjoy making sure every pup feels loved, safe, and cared for. I am currently a senior at the University of Kentucky taking online courses, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am available most days of the week at various times and would love to spend my time caring for and playing with your pups! Your pups safety and comfort are always my top priority. I am very attentive, reliable, and am always respectful of your home, making sure your dog is supervised, safe on walks, and given plenty of love and attention. I carefully follow all instructions, and make sure they feel calm and secure in their environment. You can always trust me to care of your pup, as I treat every dog like my own while keeping you updated so you have a peace of mind while you're away.
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Rosco! He always barks after you leave so i know he likes your company! And i know he’s in great care when he’s with you!”

Rachel took great care of our cat! She was flexible with his needs, followed all care instructions perfectly, and provided lots of play time and pets at every drop-in. Communication with her was easy and prompt. She also was very respectful of our home and kept it tidy. Highly recommend!!

Tracy was awesome! We were anxious leaving our little guy for the week, but she helped alleviate those worries by sending pic and video updates. She stayed in touch and even sang to him! We definitely will be using her services again whenever we need them.

Kate was awesome with our sweet little senior kitty Chai! Chai needs a lot of special care right now and Kate skillfully managed everything. Chai is usually not happy to meet new people, but she liked Kate right away! I’m so glad to have someone to call on when Chai needs care in the future.

Kimee is amazing. I knew I would love her the first time I talked to her about meeting and taking care of Roo. She was great at communicating and always made me feel reassured Roo was taken care of. She would send lots of pictures and updates when she took care of her. I would recommend her to anyone. She is great.

ReeCee immediately felt comfortable with Alexus. Alexus came as agreed. She provided pictures of her walking and playing with my pup. She gave me updates as to eating, snacking, etc. Alexus agreed to be available for another visit should we not get home at the planned time. All was good when we arrived. ReeCee was very happy. Thank you, Alexus.
