“Madison was amazing!!! Ranger is a very energetic pup and he had the best time with her and her dogs. She worked with all my requests and sent tons of pictures. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! I will definitely recommend her.”

“Butterscotch had a great vacation at Cheyenne’s! It was clear from the photos that she was very well taken care of and loved on lots! I super appreciated Cheyenne’s clear communication style and flexibility around my schedule.”

“We have used Kristin several times now and she is truly the best. Our most recent trip ended with an emergency and she was so helpful with our pups while I was handling family needs. I never have to worry about my pups when they are there.”

About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in dog sitting and walking, I bring a deep love for animals and a strong sense of responsibility to every pet I care for. I’ve been around animals my entire life—dogs, cats, and more—and currently have a sweet dog of my own who keeps me active and inspired every day. I’m currently studying to become a Veterinary Technician, and I’ve also volunteered at two local veterinary clinics here in Kentucky, gaining valuable experience in animal care and behavior. My background not only ensures your pet is in loving hands, but also that I can handle a variety of situations calmly and professionally. In addition to pet care, I have 2 years of experience babysitting children, which has helped me build strong communication skills and a reliable, nurturing presence that both pets and people can trust. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, one-on-one attention, or a safe place to stay, I’m here to provide compassionate, dependable care you can count on. i am a stay at home college student who does side jobs during the week to tend to all of my animals. there is nothing that makes me happier than caring for any fury little babies. i’m free just about any day. :) I live in a very safe and secure neighborhood. i have a fenced in yard. As well as a wooden fenced in cage area outside that is about 900 square feet for zoomies and training. There is no length i won’t go to keep your animals safe and happy:)

“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 dog, Clementine, had a great time with Erin and Anthony! I would trust them with her life. I can tell she got lots of attention/affection and was well cared for! 5 stars!”

“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!”


About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages. What sets me apart is that I provide a loving family environment where dogs are treated like members of the family. My home is full of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and we take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering most basic medications, caring for senior dogs, and helping reinforce routines and good behaviors. My two kids also love dogs and enjoy giving them extra attention and playtime, helping create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for every furry guest. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for in a safe, loving home where they will receive plenty of attention and affection. 🐾 I am currently in nursing school only 2 days a week and my husband works for a healthcare company from home so someone will always be there for your pup. I treat animals as if they are my own children. I will keep them safe and satisfied while you are away so you can have a peace of mind wherever you go.

“Crystal provides a wonderful service and our dogs enjoyed their Crystal and her family more than our’s. They Enjoyed your children and had the needed rest from hiking. Thank you so much. I would recommend you to all who have fur babies that need a day sitter.”

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: Hi, I’m Aidan! I’m a Lexington-based dog sitter and walker with hands-on experience caring for large, active dogs, especially Labradors. I currently have two labs of my own and have had dogs my entire life, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, patience, and affection. I specialize in dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your pet’s home, which helps dogs stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m especially great with: • Large and high-energy breeds • Dogs that need real exercise, not just a quick potty break • Puppies needing routine and consistency • Multi-dog households • Dogs that thrive on play, fetch, and mental stimulation I prioritize communication and always send photo updates so you know your dog is safe, happy, and getting the attention they deserve. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and strong availability for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. I live a highly active lifestyle and regularly take my own dogs on walks and runs, so I’m a great fit for pets that need real exercise, play, and attention. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable and safe in their own home environment by sticking closely to their normal routine, feeding schedule, and exercise needs. During walks and drop-ins, I’m very attentive with leash security, doors, gates, and surroundings to make sure your dog stays safe at all times. I’m experienced with large and high-energy dogs, so I’m confident handling strong pullers, excited dogs, and multi-dog households. I always follow any house rules, crate routines, medication instructions, or specific care requests exactly as provided. I also send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 108 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.
90% 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.
