“Rhonda is wonderful! It's been nearly a year and a half since we've gone away for a vacation or long weekend. Our last pet sitter moved away, and we're kind of picky when it comes to someone watching our babies. We knew we had found a gem when our 2 girls who are shy and standoffish went right up to greet Rhonda when she came out to meet us and our dogs. She kept us updated while we were away, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves without worrying. We already have two more stays scheduled with Rhonda and hope to add more!”

About: Professional Care with a Nutritionist’s Touch Your Pet’s Wellness is My Business While many people on Rover are looking for a side gig, my entire professional life is built around the health and happiness of animals. As the owner and operator of Pet Wants Glasgow, I spend my days focusing on what makes pets thrive—from high-quality, slow-cooked nutrition to the importance of structured exercise. When I’m looking after your best friend, I’m bringing that same professional standard and specialized knowledge to your front door. Why I’m Different: Nutrition Expertise: I specialize in nutrient-dense diets and have a keen eye for dietary needs, allergies, and picky eater behaviors. Community Trusted: You may have seen me at Dennison’s Roadside Market or the Ace Hardware adoption events in Hart County, or at fundraisers in Bowling Green and Barren River State Park. I am a deeply rooted member of the community who believes in doing things right. Professional Reliability: Running a C-Corp means I value punctuality and communication. You’ll get consistent updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Hands-On Experience: I've been a dedicated pet parent to six dogs over my life and have worked with a variety of breeds and personalities from German Shepherds to Toy Poodles. The "Premium" Visit Experience: Tailored Approach: I adapt my pace to your pet’s specific energy level, whether they are a high-energy athlete or a senior who just wants a slow sniff around the yard. Wellness Focus: Every visit includes a quick check on behavior, energy, and coat health. A Special Perk: With your permission, I’m happy to include a sample of our premium, slow-cooked treats from Pet Wants for your pet to try! "I treat every visitor with the same focus on longevity and vitality that I give to my own. Your pet's health is my business—literally." Hello! I’m David. Friends and family know me as Dwain, and my life is dedicated to the health and happiness of animals. As the owner of Pet Wants Glasgow, I don't just "watch" pets—I advocate for their total wellness. Whether it’s a high-energy dog walk or a quiet cat check-in, I bring a level of professional oversight and nutritional expertise that most sitters can't offer. Professional Standards for Every Pet As the owner of a pet nutrition franchise and a C-Corporation, my approach to safety is built on professional accountability. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat my responsibility to them with the same level of care and organization I bring to my business operations. My Safety Protocols: Secure Transport: I use a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, which is well-equipped for safe pet transport in various weather conditions and terrain. Structured Interaction: I focus on "calm energy" and structured routines to ensure pets feel secure and unstressed, whether we are on a walk or a drop-in visit. Knowledgeable Oversight: My background in researching animal behavior, nutrition, and husbandry allows me to spot potential health or behavioral issues before they become problems. Community Accountability: Being a local business owner in Munfordville and Hart County means my reputation is my most valuable asset; you can trust that I will be there exactly when I say I will.

“Tanner is a total gem in the world of pet sitting. He was so caring, kind and nurturing to my animals. I was so impressed with his level of care and meticulous attention to details. He also left my house immaculately clean! Things that weren't clean when he came to stay, that I would never have expected him to do, he still cleaned. He was absolutely amazing and I look forward to him coming back as I know my dogs do too!”

“Taryn and her husband were amazing. It’s hard to find people you can trust and who really care about your pets. I was sent pictures and texts to keep me updated on how things were going and we were able to enjoy our getaway. Everything was neat and tidy upon our return home and Taryn even kept in contact to make sure we made it home. Thanks again Taryn and Ken we will be using your services in the near future. Susan and Dan”

About: I provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications if needed, maintaining routines, and providing regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work PRN, which gives me flexibility to accept bookings when I’m available and devote quality time to the pets in my care. Since pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy, I view it as both a rewarding hobby and an opportunity to spend time with animals. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I make it a priority to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. For active pets, I provide walks and enrichment activities. For senior pets or those who are more reserved, I’m happy to offer a calmer environment with extra patience and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect I would my own. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own young puppy. I enjoy taking him on walks and teaching him new tricks everyday, I already want another! But life circumstance won’t allow that right now, so I thought dog sitting would be perfect for me! I just would like to do something I love! My animals only need so much care and attention, so I thought being a pet sitter would be perfect. If it is a cat friendly and other dog friendly dog, I wouldn’t mind at all to pet sit at my house(my puppy loves playmates). Cat care and non-other animal friendly dogs would be at the clients home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dry Fork

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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dry Fork walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dry Fork maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dry Fork choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
