“Rhonda was great! This was the first time I had used the services of Rover.com, and I was incredibly pleased. Rhonda stayed at my place with two dogs for a 4 day period, and I came home to two happy pups instead of two dogs that were visibly stressed. Great experience!”
“Sara is awesome! I have booked her twice now - she’s communicative, kind, and great with my boys. She sent lots of pictures and left my house clean. I hope to use her again.”
About: I've owned and cared for small to large cats/dogs for 7+ years, doing the necessary research to provide them with the best care I can offer to maximize their environment! If things turn out well, I dream of opening a doggy daycare one day! I also service Scottsville, KY!!! I currently work part-time, so I have time to care for your babies! I'm mostly available after 4 pm on weekdays, but can provide 30-minute drop-in visits before 9 AM and during lunch hours. Weekends are open unless I have plans, which I will keep updated as best as I can! Wednesdays and Sundays are my most limited days. I live in an apartment with an open yard for my dog to use while leashed. I feed her 2-3 times a day, depending on her mood - she's not an overcomsumer, so some days she just isn't hungry until evening! It's her preferences unless I notice a concern :) Caring for other animals in my home won't be a service I offer, because my pup has attachment/anxiety issues and I wouldn't want to create an unhealthy environment for her or yours!
“Helen was wonderful with my 2 dogs in my home. Dogs seemed happy, healthy & well cared for upon my return. Home was well taken care of too! Looking forward to having Helen in my home again soon!!”
About: I have over 18 years of personal experience and am so happy to have made a career helping dogs and owners. I am home full time and have the help of my kids, as well as our two dogs.

“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”

Sara S.
“If you're looking for someone to care for your dog, there is no better option than Sara! On top of being a dog-lover through and through, she is absolutely fantastic at incorporating training into her caretaking time. She has studied hours of dog training courses, as well as put it into practice in real life. Sara is adamant about providing appropriate amounts of exercise and entertainment, allowing the dog to freely choose the activity and supplying the toys/tools/physical energy required to support them as they play. In addition to these dog-specific attributes, Sara is a very attentive and observant person in general. Whether in the car, walking on the street, or running around inside the house, Sara will be paying close attention to the dog and will quickly step in as soon as any problem arises. Loving, intelligent, and adept, Sara will calm the fears of anyone hesitant to leave their dog to a stranger--you can rest easily knowing that she will provide the absolute best care while you're away!”

Linda G.Star Sitter
“Anyone who has a pet would be fortunate to have Linda care for them. We have had four cats over the last 40 years and she was a consummate care giver to them. She was always loving and incredibly aware of their needs and health issues, much more than I was; at least one time in particular, she saved one of our cats from a premature death. For this I will always be very grateful. She truly loves dogs and cats and gives them affection, kindness, and is very patient with them - the last point is very important when looking for a caregiver for a beloved pet. If you want to leave your pet in very capable hands, you will never regret hiring Linda.”
Ray S.
