“This was my second time using Heather’s boarding service and as Always, it was a great time to know my boy is safe and having fun with her and her dog Remi! I’ll continue to use her services anytime I’m traveling out here! She is a wonderful woman who is for sure an animal lover and a great caretaker. She sends updates and pictures of how they are all doing! If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further. She is the one to use”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little girl!!! You were so very attentive and never left me wondering how she was doing!! Loved all the pictures and updates!! Will definitely be booking again!!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I am completely comfortable around animals of all different shapes and sizes. I can leash train your dogs if you are having a hard time reeling them in. While I do work during the day, I have the ability to frequent the home and take pets out for walks, play pass, or even just spend time giving them some love. I am home every evening and night. I have a fenced in back yard for free running. I have a small dog that is super friendly to strangers. He walks with me with no leash, and won’t even chase a cat, because he is well trained.
“5 STARS!!! Lynne was wonderful. My two small dogs, Lily and Leo enjoyed their stay and she gave them great care and love. I really liked that Lynne would contact me daily through texts with updates and pictures. She even took the time to brush them. I intend to contact her again when I need a pet sitter.”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“Melody was wonderful with my baby. This was brownies first time away from home and she welcomed her into hers as she was her own. Will definitely trust her again with my dog.”
“I had such a great experience with this dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how sweet, kind, and genuinely caring they are—not just toward people, but especially toward animals. My dog felt comfortable right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. They were attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It’s obvious they truly love what they do, and it shows in the way they treat the dogs in their care. I could tell my dog was happy, well cared for, and even a little spoiled with attention! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”
“Shunita boarded my puppy and helped nurse him back to health in a time where he needed extra loving, and care just like he was her own! Takes great care and pride in the babies she keeps.”
“Dawn did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. We were gone for a week and she made sure to update me on how my baby was doing through texts and photos. She even cuddled her and bought treats when she wasn’t eating the ones I brought. She and her husband were amazing caregivers for my sweet fur baby. I never worried once about whether my baby was safe.”
“Daphne was wonderful! She took Lola as a last minute booking and we couldn't be happier! We received daily picture updates. Lola was treated like a little princess with lots of love! 🩷 Highly recommend Daphne!”
“Amanda and Amy took incredible care of my dog Oslo. When I dropped him off, she made sure to ask lots of questions about his care and during his stay I received all kinds of cute pictures! When our plans changed, she was super flexible and accommodating. Totally recommend!”
“we were gone for three days to a family reunion. My lab Zion had never stayed with anyone other than my niece. I was really worried about using Rover, however, Mariah was absolutely excellent! She took great care of Zion and gave me regular updates! I will use Rover again!!”
“Kembra was very nice to work with. She made sure to keep me updated throughout my trip, and sent pictures to show that Duke was having a good time. Only thing to know going in, is that her house seems to show up incorrectly on Google maps. I suggest getting with her before drop off to make sure you reach the correct house.”
“She was absolutely perfect!!!! She gave me updates and pictures of my dog, she celebrated his birthday with him in my place, she was amazing!! Everything was such a convenience!!! My dog loves her and I will definitely book again and again!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, kept both of our dogs! They were out all weekend to the lakes! Kept me updated with pics and videos and anytime I checked in on them she made sure to update me!! We will definitely be using her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Boston home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Boston.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Boston sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
