“We have been boarding our dogs with Colleen for a few years now, and our pups absolutely love going to "Aunt" Colleen and "Uncle" Scott's house! They are the nicest people and there is no one else I trust more with my babies. Both of our dogs have a lot of medical needs and she takes incredible care of them. She contacts me immediately if she has questions about their care while we're away. Finding Colleen has been a godsend!”

“This was my Cherrys very first time staying with a sitter, so naturally, we were a bit anxious about how things would go. But from the very beginning, Ryan was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. He took the time to make sure both my dog and I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I’m so grateful for how smoothly everything went. Highly recommend—especially if you’re a first-time dog parent looking for someone you can really trust!”

About: Hi! I don’t have any dogs currently- I put my last dog down about 1.5 years ago, but have been a dog lover all my life. I have experience with all ages and types of dogs but specialize in senior & reactive dogs. I do work full time- four days a week. I am off on Wednesdays and off on weekends. If I’m watching your pup, I’ll go home straight from work to get them out for a walk! I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home for your pets while you’re away! I love taking dogs on walks and, when appropriate, car rides for a little extra adventure. I’ll treat your pets like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while giving you peace of mind!

“We ADORE Tasha and Joseph for our beagles. They've stayed with them 5 times over the last year and always do great. We get frequent photo updates and I feel super comfortable knowing they are in good hands when we travel. Their dogs snuggle up to ours -- it's so cute, they are the extra helpers. :)”

She asked lots of questions and made sure she knew how Simba was and made sure I was comfortable with what she had planned while Simba was there. She sent pics throughout the day and treated him like her own! Simba will be going back next week for a longer stay as I know he will be happy at Kiersten’s!”

“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”

About: We're CJ and Michael, a couple of lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and have been pet-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family for years. CJ is a resident physician, so she's calm, responsible, and great at following your care instructions to the letter. Michael works from home in consulting, which means your dog will have company, attention, and plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, not just at drop-in times. We live an active lifestyle and love long walks, exploring parks, and spending time outside — so high-energy pups fit right in with us. Just as happily, we'll match a mellow dog's pace with couch cuddles and slow strolls. Your dog will be treated like family: exercised, loved, and safe. We'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. Michael works from home full-time, so your dog will have company and attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. Walks fit naturally into our daily routine: a morning walk, a midday break, and once CJ is home from work, we take a long evening walk that your dog is more than welcome to join. We're active on weekends too and love bringing a dog along to parks and around the neighborhood. Your dog will stay in our clean, dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots to relax. We keep a consistent routine — regular walks, fresh water, and lots of attention. All walks are leashed, and we're careful about doors, gates, and anything a curious pup might get into. If your dog is crate-trained, we're happy to keep that routine going. We treat every dog like our own and send regular photo updates so you always know how they're doing.

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.
