“Gabriella took great care of my older dog. Winnie seem d very hapoy (although tired) after her stay at Gabreilla’s. Her dog Yeti is really good with other dogs and became buddies with my dog that don’t used to being around other animals. Highly recommend Gabreilla for any pet sitting needs”
“Beth is excellent with my dog Deuce. So well cared for. He doesn't even act like he missed me. And her 4 year old son is a great help also! That is a total difference compared to leaving him at a high price dog hotel. Highly recommend her!”
“Heather is amazing! Lacey loves to stay with her and she always meets new friends. We can tell by Lacey’s demeanor when we get home that she feels comfortable and secure with Heather! We already have her booked for our next adventure.”
“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.”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“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!”
“Courtney is awesome- we feel so comfortable leaving Bella at her home, we always know she is well taken care of. We are so thankful to have found her! This is our third (or fourth?) time and we are already booking the next. Thank you!”
“My wife and I had a weekend trip planned and the person that was set to watch our dog had a last minute emergency. I sent a message to Elizabeth and Phillip and they responded within minutes. Our dog is 7 months old and it is only the second time we have left him. The first time was at a kennel and we really wanted a home environment for him. Elizabeth and Phillip provided great care. They sent daily pictures and updates. He must have had a great time because after picking him up he slept most of the day. We will definitely be calling them again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Oliver took great care of our 10-year-old and 5-month-old at the same time. He’s great at responding quickly and providing updates on their day. We’ll definitely have Jack and Mick stay with Oliver again!”
“Unlike boarding facilities or vets' offices where he has stayed in in the past, Sprite was happy and content while with Arla and her family. Being an "only" dog, Sprite really enjoyed his social time with Charlie and Winston. I don't know who had a better time on their vacation; us or our dog! We will definitely use Arla again.”
“I really Appreciate Amanda's help. I searched for boarding very last minute and I was about to cancel my trip. Not only did she respond quick and accepted my dog that very night, but she also took great care of Rocko. He really enjoyed his stay with her family. Top notch dog boarding and I would use her again.”
“AMANDA IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Amanda watched our Goldendoodle for 4 days and 3 nights! She sent so many pictures and kept us up-to-date on all the things he did. I was so impressed and I will use Amanda in the future to watch Oliver. I cannot say enough good things about Amanda and my dog is everything to me!!!! So it says a lot about Amanda and her professionalism. Thank you Amanda for allowing us to get away and have no worries.”
“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!!”
“Brooke took great care of my puppy for 4 days. She was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My puppy was happy and well taken care of when I returned. I would definitely trust Brooke again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Buckner
I highly recommend Sarah to board and care for your pet. She provided excellent care and follow up regarding our Corgi during our vacation away. She sent pictures and updates throughout our time away. She was flexible on pickup time. I felt so much at ease from the beginning! This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so happy to have found Sarah and her precious family! Thank you!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Buckner can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Buckner 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 Buckner.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buckner. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Buckner 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
