“Janet was SO accommodating and loving to my dogs when I drove to visit my son for his birthday. His roomie is allergic to dogs and I couldn't bring them into their house, but he wanted to see them. Janet kept my guys happy all day while I was spending time with my child. She even let me pick them up late after I was done with the birthday festivities. I highly recommend Janet to take care of your babies if you are in the Vine Grove area. She is super sweet and kind. A+++ sitter... really goes above and beyond. Thank you, again, Janet. I appreciate you.”
About: Growing up with dogs of all sizes taught me how to adapt to their unique needs, training styles, and energy levels. I currently care for two energetic, 45-pound dogs, which requires daily structured exercise, interactive mental stimulation, and consistent behavioral management. We all savor ending the night with cuddles and love. I currently work weekdays and get off around 2:30pm so I would be available after then and on some weekends. Due to my job, i'm often available when there are seasonal/holiday breaks. I also live on the base at fort knox! I have 2 dogs that are very shy around newcomers, but love to play when they are warmed up. Since I understand that going into someone's home it's scary for the new comer. I will be extra careful and make sure that they feel comfortable and safe. I do have a fenced yard. I am always around the dogs, so there are almost no times when they are left alone.
“Julie had our two girls for a week while we were on vacation and kept us updated the entire time! They had so much fun and came home exhausted from all the play time. We have both a big dog and little dog, and we were worried about our little one getting caught up in the mix of all the bigger dogs, but she did so well! We got lots of pictures and never had to worry about if they were doing well.”
“Kembra was very nice to work with. She made sure to keep me updated throughout my trip, and sent pictures to show that Duke was having a good time. Only thing to know going in, is that her house seems to show up incorrectly on Google maps. I suggest getting with her before drop off to make sure you reach the correct house.”
“Angela watched our cat. It was the first time we used a sitter and I was a little apprehensive about the experience as Missy is an older cat and is not used to 'strangers'. Angela kept us well informed on Missy's behavior and routine at her house and sent pictures regularly. We felt reassured and were confident that she was well taken care of. We will definitely ask Angela to keep Missy, if the need arises again.”
“The setup and care Thor received was outstanding! Will definitely use Susan again! She sent pictures and updates frequently. He looked happy in the pictures. No concerns or issues at all.”
“Dawn did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. We were gone for a week and she made sure to update me on how my baby was doing through texts and photos. She even cuddled her and bought treats when she wasn’t eating the ones I brought. She and her husband were amazing caregivers for my sweet fur baby. I never worried once about whether my baby was safe.”
“This was our second time using Megan. Jack and Lillie love Megan. We will book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitter.”
“Michele was an amazing sitter! I could tell my pup was very comfortable and loved being with her. Michele sent lots of photos and videos and always kept me filled in. I look forward to hiring Michele again!”
About: Having owned and cared for dogs and cats since I was little I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and safe. I love dogs and cats and will follow any routines they have. I can also provide as many updates and or photos as you may need. Available daily for petsitting and walking. I'm a student and setting up some new jobs and I'm currently with family who often goes on trips so availability may change occasionally. At my house pets are treated with lots of care I am not the type of person to punish and if needed I will provide any space needed
“Wendy and her family her very welcoming. They took pictures and provided me with them and updates about Freyja and how she was doing. They took amazing care of her. I will be using them every time I am needing someone to care for Freyja. I am so very thankful for Wendy and her family, they made my vacation better knowing that Freyja was being cared for so well!!!”
“Virginia was an excellent care taker for my dog. She was very accommodating with the times I needed to drop her off and pick her up. She sent me pictures during the week. I could see that my dog was enjoying herself. I highly recommend her!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elizabethtown is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elizabethtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Elizabethtown can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elizabethtown 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 Elizabethtown.
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 Elizabethtown 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.
