“Annie comes back so very happy and calm and she is so well taken care of! She loved it at her home away from home! Thanks for being so loving and kind and for the pictures! We had a great time scrapbooking knowing Annie was in good hands.”
“Jen and Rob are the perfect pet sitters. We have total peace of mind that our pup is loved, cared for, and kept active while we are gone. They treat her like another member of their family. Thank you!!!”
“Cori took excellent care of Bonnie!! She sent updates, pictures, and videos throughout the whole stay. I would 100% have my dog stay with her and her family again!”
“She is amazing and I can’t thank her enough . My pup is always well taken care of , she works with your schedule and is very knowledgeable. Grateful for finding her through Rover!”
“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.”
“Tonia is the best. She took exceptional care of my anxious ittle diva. She loved on and cared for Eva like one of her own. I was a little nervous about leaving her but I was quickly put at ease by Tonias calm caring demeanor. Eva loved her time with Tonia and the fur gang. Tonia is patient and understanding. I would definitely use her again.”
“Jenny is great! My dog had a blast with her and her family over thanksgiving and I love all the adorable photo updates. She is knocked out asleep from all the fun she had. Will book again!”
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was about 8. I have worked with puppies from 2018-2020 I have fostered many dogs from Cincinnati Animal Care the past year. I currently am self employed and am home a lot for the time being. I am. really flexible with fitting pets into my daily/weekly routine currently. I have quick access to outside and there are dog friendly parks in my neighborhood that are only a 45 second walk. (usually never busy) I can crate the dog if needed or let them lounge if the owner approves! I can take dogs on short-long walks and can take them to any appointments if anything was planned ahead of time. Very flexible!
“Tricia was amazing! We booked last minute and she was super accommodating and flexible. She sent us cute updates and our pup clearly had a lovely time. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Kenneth did an amazing job caring for Ava while I was gone. This was my first time using Rover, so I was extremely nervous, but he made the entire experience very comfortable. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos, followed all of the care instructions I left, and clearly treated Ava like she was his own. It was a huge relief knowing she was in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Kenneth to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Would definitely book with him again!”
“It was my pups first time going to a sitter and Lisa made me feel stress free while on my vacation. She kept me thoroughly updated throughout each day. I also had to extend my vacation due to flight cancellations and Lisa was flexible and able to make sure I could keep my trip, and my Brody safe and well taken care of. Highly recommended and can only hope she's available when needed again!!”
“Amir took great care of our dog over the weekend! He was knowledgeable and thoughtful regarding the needs of our dog and made sure that he had the best care and experience. I would definitely recommend Amir to any other pet owners to care for their pets!”
“We booked a drop-off time at 6am. Due to travel need, we asked to drop off about one hour earlier and Jenna allowed without hesitate. That was an early morning right after a busy July-4 evening. I really appreciate Jenna’s excellent servicing and would not hesitate recommending her.”
“As puppy parents, we were nervous to leave Maisie, but Lauren eased all our worries. She went above and beyond with updates and adorable photos, so we always felt connected. Maisie loved her doggy friends, and Lauren’s care was top-notch. If you’re leaving a puppy for the first time, Lauren is the perfect sitter!”

Marlena was absolutely wonderful! She was responsive, caring, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog, Lillie, is blind and Marlena handled her with so much patience and compassion. It was clear she took the time to make Lillie feel comfortable and cared for, which meant so much to me. I truly appreciated the love and attention she gave my dog and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Marlena to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!
Kamilah was exceptional! She was very responsive, punctual, and most importantly she was very attentive to my cat. She reached out ASAP with possible concerns and we worked together to resolve. She was also very flexible when my return travel was impacted by weather. Would absolutely use her again.
Jessica was, once again, amazing and available on short notice!! Indy was clearly very comfortable and well-loved in her care. It was great to know he was in safe and familiar hands! Regular updates and easy coordination/flexibility with drop-off and pick-up. Attentive to behavioral quirks. Without hesitation, I continue to recommend Jessica to anyone looking for stellar animal care!
Tyler did an incredible job taking care of our cat, who has a rather challenging personality. He was incredibly caring, patient, and created a comfortable environment for our cat to thrive in. He kept us informed multiple times a day through messages and shared amazing photos and videos. We completely relied on him, and he exceeded our expectations. Now that we’re planning to leave the city again, we know exactly who to call to board our cat.
A+ experience! Raider had a wonderful time, and we loved receiving the daily photos and updates. It was clear he was happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself. Kiki was kind, gentle, and truly caring—exactly what you hope for when leaving your beloved pet with someone else. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked his next stay. Perfect for our spoiled fur baby! Highly recommend. 🐾💕
Madison and Adam are the best sitters ever! They send plenty of pictures and Minnie got plenty of walks. They were flexible when I had to drop her off and pick her up a little after the original scheduled time due to flights. Minnie came back, so happy and energized. She had a mini vacation herself! I definitely recommend them to anyone.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
