“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.”
“Gabriella was very invested in our cat’s wellbeing while we were gone and went above and beyond. She made sure he had company and got everything he needed. I really appreciated her time investment and transparent, picture-laden updates at every check-in. Definitely recommended to book her!”
“We love Maria!!”
About: I've cared for animals my entire life. Animals in my home are well loved; including baths if requested, exercise, and lots of play! I'm very accommodating. I work full-time from home, mostly on virtual meetings spread throughout the day. I'm up early each day and always ready for a nice walk! My yard is mostly fenced, but dogs would be kept on a leash for safety. Pets are welcome to sleep on any furniture. Food and water is available at all times in the kitchen.
“Ashley is amazing!!! She took such great care of our kitties while when we gone! I never worried about our fur babies because I knew they were in great hands! We will definitely hire her again! She is just awesome. My husband calls her the cat whisperer. To our kitties, she is now Aunt Ashley.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid—everything from high-energy pups to shy seniors. I’m calm, patient, and totally in tune with animals’ needs. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime or chill time, I show up with care, consistency, and good vibes. I currently work full time as a nurse, however, I do have a schedule that allows me freedom, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-ins and walks during the day & evenings. If your pup needs a quick play break, I’ve got the time and energy to make sure they’re well cared for. I offer a calm, clean, and safe environment where your pet will feel at home. I can crate your dog if needed, follow any feeding/medication routines, and I’m always happy to send updates or photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jim was so easy to work with when we needed someone to come let Hershey out late at night with little notice. He arrived on time, sent us pictures, and was so sweet to our baby! I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely use him in the future!”
About: When I was a kid I had Golden Retriever and then a Black Lab. Throughout college and grad school I would dog sit / walk dogs (I'm also on Wag!) when I could to make a little extra money or help out my friends and family. Two years ago, I felt ready and decided to buy a pup of my own! I now have a mini-poodle who lives in my apartment with me. I can take care of any age dog and we go for walks every day! I work throughout the week 8am -4:30pm, there are occasional nights or weekends I have to work, but for the most part my afternoons and evenings are free to walk to sit your pup! My Calendar does change monthly due to out of town work events, but I try to keep it up to date for my availability. Send me a message, If I'm in town- I'd love to watch your furry friend. I love giving lots of hugs and cuddles during the afternoon. My own dog goes out around 6-7am, and then again at 4:45pm, and one more time in the evening. She is fed twice a day and walked 1-2x daily. I'd be happy to fit your pup into this schedule too!
“Lindsey did a great job of taking care of our kitties. Would recommend her and I would use her again.”
“Courtney was great for our drop in visits. Quick communication and very happy pets! She walked and played with our dog and was great knowing she was there to give them some company. Would def book again!”
About: I've been an animal lover and owner all my life (dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, horses, goats, pot-belly pigs, etc.) until a few years ago when I lost my last dog. I decided then that I wasn't going to get a new dog or cat, at least for now, and only love on others' pets. I've been pet and housesitting for the last five+ years, am extremely responsible, and have excellent local references. I'm a freelance book editor and formatter working from home (I also build websites), have a flexible schedule, and am able to work from anywhere with good wifi signal that I can have access to. I also work a part-time job in Oldham County that I go to several times a week so pets must be able to stay alone at least 7 hours at a time. Because I primarily work from wherever I'm staying, I cannot stay with high-maintenance pets who require a high amount of attention. I am living in the east end of Louisville (Prospect) area and would love to help you with your pet needs! Non-smoking homes only please! Rates for house and pet sitting are for a 24 hour period, so anything beyond that will be an additional $15.00/hour (or a full-day rate, whichever is less - NOT the extended care rates just added by Rover that they will not let me remove). Please let me know if you have any questions! Since I work a part-time job, the pets must be able to stay at home for at least 7 hours at a time. Other days I work from wherever I'm staying. Each pet and family have various needs so I will discuss particulars with you before the stay to make sure it's a good fit for everyone.
About: Hello! I am a positive-reinforcement based dog trainer and lover who has experience with a plethora of dog breeds, ages, temperaments, and medical issues. I have an extensive history with caring for and training dogs, with a specialization in the training of fearful or reactive dogs. I believe that the responsibility of caring for another’s pet goes beyond the necessities: it is ensuring that the dog is comforted during an often difficult time, and the owner is reassured that their pet is in the best hands. Further, it is necessary to be sure that the animals physical, emotional, and needs are fully met. I hope to establish a relationship with the pet(s) and their owners. I genuinely care about the wellbeing of animals and make a great effort to ensure that the pet is comfortable and well taken care of. I am currently working in other animal care positions and am able to adjust my schedule to your pet’s care needs. My schedule is relatively flexible, and can be adjusted. I have a sweet Shetland Sheepdog who lives with me, as well as cats. I am very cautious about keeping doors (and inside gates) firmly closed to ensure safety,
“Lauren & Joseph took great care of our GSD russ while we were out on vacation! Photos of every drop-in were provided and communication was excellent. They went above and beyond by cleaning up after our dog in his backyard area!! Would definitely suggest going with them if you’re looking for exceptional care and will definitely be using them in the future!!”
About: I have never pet sat before however I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, and a rabbit I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours. I am 18 years old and a senior at New Albany High School. I work at Starbucks inside target however am looking to pick something up on the side I am very flexible and willing to work with you. As a young lady I am very safe meaning locking doors behind me and carrying pepper spray. I will make sure to protect the house and pets while sitting or going on a walk.
About: I’ve cared for my bulldog at home for many years now and make frequent visits to my grandmothers house to help her take care of her beagles. I have always had a passion to make animals specifically dogs time on earth the best it can be. I know they are incredibly misunderstood and no matter the animal, I have always found a way to get along with the fur baby. On days I don’t work, it would be amazing to get the opportunity to do this as to me it’s not considered a job Make them feel comfortable and let them know that you are there for them. Have patience as each animal is different and requires a unique but understanding approach.
About: I've had dogs my whole life from small yorkies to big farm dogs. I also, have experience taking care of ailing 13 and 14 year old dogs that need special care. I love any and all dogs!! I'm currently talking summer online college courses, so I have very flexible hours and can work weekdays and weekends. I can do early mornings or evenings. I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own, with care and love. I can also, send you updates about your dog or dogs.
About: I have always taken care of dogs from my families to my friends. About 4 years ago I got my first dog and have enjoyed the process of being a pet parent. I understand leaving your dog can be stressful but I check in frequently because I understand that stress myself! I am a college student!! I have decently free schedules with having classes on Mon/Wed 11-430pm and Tue/Thurs 2-430PM. Fridays and Weekends are completely open! With Cats, I always make sure to check around the house for accidents and then take the litter out at least once a day. I’ll feed your cat according to the instructions provided and make sure water bowls are filled. I also like to make sure that a cat has at least 30 minutes of time to play and receive love. With dogs, I make sure to take them out during each visit for a potty break. I make sure to feed them according to Instructions and make sure water is full. I also like to check the house for accidents if they are free roam. I make sure to play for at least 30 minutes each visit that way they feel relaxed and happy!
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and have treated each one like my own children. I believe a dog’s care is a vital responsibility, as they are a cherished part of the family. Be it to check on your dog while you're away, make sure they get the love and play they need, or to make sure they enjoy a good trip outdoors, you can vacation or leave town knowing when you return, one of the most important things in your life was safe, respected, and loved. I have a full time job, so mid-day weekday visits are a challenge, but am fully free on weekends, mornings, and evenings. Mainly weekends, but can walk and check-in most evenings. I can house sit during the week and weekends whenever I am in town for it. Each home/apartment owner has their own rules and needs. My goal is to follow them to the letter. From feeding and care instructions, to activities allowed, I'll invest in the structure familiar to the pet while offering all the affection the dog is comfortable with receiving.
“I’m so glad we found Katie to drop in on our pups while we were away! I knew after our first visit with her that they were in great hands and it was clear from the pictures she sent that the dogs loved having her around!”
