“Alycia and Scott were great with our 2 dogs! The dogs seemed happy safe and comfortable in their home. We received pictures every day. Will definitely contact them in the future.”
“Tricia was amazing with my puppy. She provided updates with pictures and let me know each morning as to how my puppy was doing. I could tell my dog really enjoyed her time with Tricia. I plan on booking with Tricia again in the future!!”
“I am absolutely thrilled with the care and attention my dog received while staying with Jenny. The big yard was a dream come true for my dog! But what truly made the experience stand out was the personal attention and love my dog received from her. The homemade treats were a wonderful touch, and it's clear that Jenny went above and beyond to make my dog feel welcome and comfortable! What really says it all is that my dog didn't want to leave when it was time to go home - that's the highest praise I can think of! Jenny has a clear passion for pets and a gift for providing top-notch care! Thank you!!”
“We've been utilizing Haley's services for several years. I never worry about my furbaby when she's with her. Haley is very reliable and caring! I won't leave my dog with anyone else.”
“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”
“Tammi did an excellent job watching our dogs while we were out of town. One of our dogs is prone to having seizures when she is stressed out, and Tammi assured us that she had no problem taking on a dog with medical problems. Tammi sent us pictures and videos on a daily basis. I enjoyed watching my dogs having a blast at her house. I was afraid that they weren't going to want to come home since they were having such a good time! Overall, I would highly recommend Tammi and I can't say enough what a wonderful job she did. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Paige and Steve and their family were wonderful in caring for Mango! They provided regular updates and quick responses. Mango had the best time running around and playing with the kids. I would highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to book again.”
“Very nice and responded back very quickly to my text messages! Sent pictures of my fur baby to let me know she was ok. We would definitely use Diane again! Thank you”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
“Debbie was awesome! Our dogs are a little anxious but they warmed up to Debbie right away and had an awesome time staying with her! They definitely loved the big fenced in yard. Debbie was very responsive and a great communicator. Our dogs can't wait to go back!”
“Jane was wonderful with Penny. Our dog was feeling separation anxiety and she was so kind and patient. She sent lots of pictures and I felt very good about leaving her with Jane. This is our second time using Jane and I’d definitely use her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Ryan was very reassuring when I went to meet and greet him, and his dog, Ellie, with our two almost-1-year old Yorkies. He accommodated my concerns because of their small size and put mesh and draped, blankets on his balcony rails! I had never left the pups for more than three days so it was nice to get the photos and videos and messages Ryan sent that showed they were happy and well cared for. The puppies loved Ryan. (He said they played well with his dog, too)) I’m glad we can reach out again someday to see about the pups spending time again with their new friends, Ryan and Ellie!”
“Amazing family who took the best care of our 1.5yo dog! Felt so good about leaving our girl in their hands (and paws!) :) our Luna loved playing with sweet Murphy!”
“Cori and her family were a great experience for my little land shark puppy Riley-kept her busy and wore her out well! She slept all the way home and for hours that afternoon. Great to get her feedback during my retirement party so I didn’t have to worry about her. I will sure use her again as we need sitters.”
“Ainura was absolutely amazing! I had to find a sitter for my new puppy on very short notice and she responded super fast and accepted the job. It was my first time using the Rover app and I’m so grateful it worked out so well. She took incredible care of little Khaleesi and sent loads of photos showing her playing and having a great time for the week. I’m definitely reaching out to Ainura next time I need a sitter :)”
“We love sending our dog Bratwurst to stay with Amir! Amir is always kind and communicative and is very knowledgeable about exactly what our dog needs to have a safe and happy experience. Would highly recommend Amir and we will definitely plan to work with him 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 Carthage 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 Carthage.
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 Carthage 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.
