“Selena was absolutely wonderful! So many pictures and updates. We were so happy with all the continuous communication throughout our dogs stay with her. She is so nice and the dogs had plenty of outdoor time and play with her friendly dog! Would definitely recommend!”
“My pups were happy and exhausted when I picked them up from all the playing they did on the farm. Victoria was very sweet and knowledgeable. My 11 month old dachshund had really regressed in potty training and since Victoria is a certified trainer, she was able to give me some helpful tips on how to reverse that. I plan to keep in touch with her for private training sessions as well in the near future!”
“Gloria was amazing with my Riley! I contacted her super last minute due to an emergency and she was very willing to accommodate our needs- she even gave him a bath! I cannot recommend her enough. We’ll be booking again with Gloria!”
“I would like to thank Kimberly for taking such good care of our fur baby, Lucas. It’s stressful having to leave your pet with someone you don’t know but Kimberly made our trip Wonderful. She welcomed him to her home with open arms and showed him tons of love! She kept us up to date with how he was doing, If he was eating or not and sent us cute pictures through out the day. Thank you again Kimberly, I would trust you with Lucas again. ??”
“Emily is always fantastic with our two dogs! We have one senior dog and one really active pattie mix, and she loves them both! We have already booked her for our next trip...10 days away!!”
“It’s obvious that Kristin loves her 3 dogs, she took care of mine like it was one of her own. My dog has anxiety, Kristin sent me lots of updates and photos during the 2 day stay, and she takes wonderful pics! I wouldn’t hesitate to take my dog back to Kristin for a short visit or a longer stay.”
“Erin and Anthony did a great job with our boys over 4th of July. Our puppy and their blue heeler were best buddies all weekend, and our old guy got all the cuddles while being stressed from the fireworks. The photo updates were evidence that everyone was well cared for. We would happily take the boys back.”
“Desha took care of our 2 dogs for a couple of days while out of town and we are so thankful of the great care she provided! She was so communicative and sent photos of the happy pups at bedtime and morning. Her cute kids also gave the dogs a lot of affection and the dogs loved that! I hope to book with Desha again in the future!”
“I know that Louie will be cared for when I leave him with Amber. I can tell he feels at home with Amber by the way he warms up to her quickly and how happy he is when I pick him up :)”

“We have a very spoiled doxie with some extra needs. We have extremely high standards on leaving him with anyone. (we worry about him being trouble and being safe). Having used Shawna in the past, she was the only one I trusted to keep him when I needed a recent surgery. Would definitely recommend and use her again. Gave good safe care, love, communication and was accommodating to any and all our requests and needs.”
“Marlize has a great set up for dog boarding. The check in and check out process was super easy. She was very good with communication and we felt no stress leaving our dog with her for a week.”
About: With your pets permission, they will be loved on. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life and have pet sat for over 5 years! The only days of the week where I’m out for more than 3 hours is Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am at home otherwise, the more time I have with your pet, the better! I do have two cats, so they will likely be separated from your pets in a boarding situation, but I live next to a dog park so it is easily accessible for pups. I have many cat toys and treat varieties as well.
About: I’ve had animals of all sorts for most of my life! When I was younger, we had dogs, chickens, sheep, and an alligator. While I’m only interested in caring for doggies now, I think the other pets I’ve had are worth mentioning. :) While this is my first go at boarding other‘s pets in my home, I’m confident that I can provide exceptional services and accommodations. I am a stay-at-home mom currently. However, I do not have small children. My children are 13 and 14 years old and love dogs, so you can bet that your fur baby will get lots of love, cuddles, attention, and playtime! We have a friendly 5 year old male Aussiedoodle. He is neutered. He loves to play, but also likes to chill inside in the air conditioning. He may be a little spoiled. I have a fully fenced yard. There’s also a shaded walking trail behind our home that’s easily accessible. Your pet is able to roam freely through the downstairs of our home and have the same freedoms our own pet has. If your pet is more comfortable in a crate, I have that available as well.
About: Ive always had animals, cat, dogs, horses .! I lost my 20 yr old lab/spaniel last year and would love to give your pet undivided attention. I love all pets.. I work a part time flex schedule. So i can be available to take care of pet when needed. I am home most of time I care for the pet based on the needs of the pet and what the pet owners want. A routine is good for the animal.
About: I’m 21 years old and have grown up around animals my entire life. I have hands on experience caring for a wide range of pets, especially dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve had dogs my whole life from Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to Pit Bulls and Belgian Shepherds so I’m comfortable with everything from small, high energy pups to large, working breeds. I still care for my childhood Dachshund and currently have a Belgian Shepherd, which has given me strong experience with daily routines, training basics, exercise needs, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care is my full time job, so it’s fully built into my daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate my time and attention to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s walks, feedings, playtime, medications, or just extra companionship. Since this is what I do every day, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide reliable, consistent care and give your pets the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in both my home and my clients’ homes. I carefully follow all instructions, maintain clean environments, secure doors and gates, and closely monitor pets to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clay City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Clay City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Clay City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Clay City 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 Clay City.
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 Clay City 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.
