“This was our second time leaving our dog with Beth, this time for a week, and it was so nice not having to worry while we were away. Beth sent frequent photos and updates and I knew our baby was in good hands. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup time. We will definitely be using Beth again!”
About: I don't remember life without dogs. They've been my companions and best friends since I was a kid. I love them so much that I can bark well enough to fool you into thinking I'm one of them! Over the years, I've been around all kinds of dogs, from Great Danes to mutts and Golden Retrievers. I've also rescued dogs from difficult situations. I've learned that every dog has its own personality. Some want to play all day, some want to cuddle, and others just want to do their own thing. If your dog is big, I'm strong enough to take them on a walk. If they're cuddly, I'll cuddle the crap out of them. If they need space or time to warm up, that's fine, too. I'm comfortable around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I don't get nervous or jumpy around them. I'm sure your dog will bring lots of joy to my home. I have a spacious house where dogs can relax wherever they feel comfortable, along with a fenced backyard where they can run and play. I'll make sure your dog gets the attention, care, and space they need to feel at home. When I'm out, it's never for more than four hours. If your dog stays with me, they would be alone for four hours at most. The rest of the time we'll be around to give them attention and affection. My house is spacious, so your dog can find a comfortable spot to hang out wherever they like. I also have a fenced-in backyard where they can run around and play. I'm happy to take them on walks or to a nearby park, too. Every dog is different, so just let me know the specifics: their routine, what they enjoy, what makes them nervous, and anything else I should know. I want them to feel at home here, not like they're stuck somewhere unfamiliar while you're away.
“Meela created a wonderful home away from home for Archer. She and her pups were welcoming and we got lots of updates and photos, which were wonderful because the kids wanted to know that he was having a good time and didn’t miss them. We are looking forward to having Meela pet sit again!”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“Sharon is absolutely amazing! My boy is a very anxious boy and has severe separation anxiety. Sharon had him so comfortable and settled almost immediately. I am so grateful to her for the care and love she gave Salem while I was out of the country for two weeks. Sharon provided me multiple daily updates complete with adorable videos of Salem. Her dog, Wes, was the perfect buddy for Salem too! Her fenced-in yard is fantastic for doggies to sniff and play in. I was so nervous to leave my boy for so long, but having Sharon as his sitter truly made all my worries disappear. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when I had a flight delay. I cannot recommend Sharon (and Wesley!) enough!!”
“Friendly, inviting, and always kept us updated. It was our first time ever boarding Kira and now we are looking forward to bringing her over for doggy day care every now and then for socialization.”
“This was the second time I left my do with Robin. When she opened her front door, Bobo was so happy to see her. And when I left, Bobo was already settled in & didn't follow me to the door when I left.😂. That's when I knew he was happy to be there.”
“Elizabeth and her husband, Josh were excellent caretakers for our pup, Huxley. He was so well cared for and ready to nap from all the fun he had once he returned home. We will reach out to them again when we need care.”
“My Wilson was wonderfully taken care of by Sarah and her family, and their two pups were great with him, as was Butcher the pig. I will ask Sarah if she’ll be able to board Wilson again next time I have to go out of town.”
“Tina was great with our dog! Sent pictures and updates of our pet every day. Super flexible with our times of drop off & pick up. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“Li was fantastic! I actually think our puppers was sad to come home after being so spoiled by Li and her family. We got regular updates, photos and videos of how he was doing that put us at ease. We are so thankful our pup had a home while we were away that cared for him as much as we do.”
“I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Amanda sent us pictures and videos every day, which made being away from our boys so much easier. It was obvious they were having the best time and I honestly think they had just as much fun at her house as we did on vacation! We’re so thankful for everything she did while we were gone, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dogs with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm so I've been around animals my whole life. I have plenty experience with kittens and puppies all the way up to our older babies. I have worked previously at the Pet Station Country Club and currently work at Petsmart so you know that your animals will be well taken care of. I have experience with medications and any special care that animals need. If you're looking for a good sitter that will treat your animals like my own, I'm your person I'm currently working part time and so I will have time for your fur babies from 6am- 9pm Thursday-Friday and 6am-1pm on Saturdays. I'm hoping to get more availability on here soon. I will treat your pet like they are my own family. With me, you can trust that your pet will be safe, Safety and Fun are always my top priorities.
“Ebony was so great! She was responsive, kind and flexible! She took great care of our dog and he got so much great socialization and exercise. We really appreciated her especially the last minute changes!”
“We are so thankful for the outstanding care Julie and her son provided our dog Star! Julie kept us updated daily with fun texts and pictures and gave us such peace of mind that Star was having a great time without us! :) Julie's care is genuine and devoted. They went above and beyond to treat Star! I can't say enough good things about her care and communication.”
About: Hi! I am a dog lover and have had one since I was a kiddo. I have had small, medium and large breeds. I do not have any dogs that live with me in Louisville so all my attention and affection will be on your pup! My boyfriend and I have a Belgian Malinois and a German Shepard which I live with part time that I miss so much when I am in Louisville. Which is why I am doing Rover - to spend time with pups when I am not with mine. I work from home so your pup will get tons of time, walks, love and affection. Your pup will snuggle with me at night if they like as well. I have a fully fenced backyard but prefer not to leave dogs outside alone so they will always be supervised. I am very sensitive to dogs needs and will work to ensure that they feel safe and loved while they are with me. No crate training or crate needed - they are free to roam the house. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I work from home so am typically there almost all day. I run out occasionally on an errand but a normal includes me being with your pup 22/24 hours! I have a fully fenced yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. I have plenty of space in the house for your pup to explore and play.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Briarwood
This was the first time using Rover. Carla was wonderful! She sent me some updates and picture while we were on our trip. Vivian tends to not react as much when we are away, this didn’t happen at all… which cracked me up and loved because I knew she felt at home! 😂😊🫶
We had such a great experience with Chris! Samson was well taken care of, and I’m convinced Chris has some kind of magic touch! Our boy normally barks at cars nonstop, but on the ride home, not ONE bark! Whatever Chris did, we need his secrets! 😂 10/10 would recommend and would happily book with him again!
It was my 14 month old Vizslas first time staying with a sitter (or anywhere but home) so I was a little nervous about leaving him for a week. Meg was super responsive and kept me updated on how he was doing with pictures and I felt so at ease knowing he was in great hands. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and will definitely be boarding with her again in the future! She made him feel at home and he had such a great time!
Courtney took wonderful care of our sweet geriatric blind Miss Minnie while we were on vacation for over two weeks. Courtney needed to be out of town for a family obligation over one weekend, and she coordinated with the sitter I had arranged and she packed all the necessary items, delivering them and Minnie and then picking up as well when she got back. The rest of the time, Courtney stayed in our home allowing Minnie to be in her familiar territory. Minnie has an enlarged heart and pulmonary edema, requiring several medications to be mixed with food twice a day and she also gets two different eye drops each once a day. Courtney was not fazed by any of this! Courtney works from home which was also a big plus so that she was at our home most of the time with Minnie. She followed my directions and even gave Minnie two baths while we were gone, which we did not expect. Our home was in great shape when we returned and Courtney had brought in packages that arrived while we were gone. I cannot recommend Courtney highly enough should you have need for house sitting, dog walking, or boarding!!!
We’ll be using Breanna forever! I was nervous to leave my dog for 5 days but she sent so many pictures and updates throughout the week! She took excellent care of Luna, such good care that Luna didn't want to leave! Your fur baby will be in the best hands with Breanna!
Brooke did a wonderful job with my two fur baby. She sent lots of pictures, keeping me up to date with their active. She was also very flexible when I needed to alter drop off or pick up. She was very fast replying to all communications. I will definitely be using her again.

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 Briarwood home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Briarwood.
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 Briarwood 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
