“Words can not express how thankful I am for Amanda and the great care she took of my fur-baby. I was able to be at ease during my vacation knowing that Benny was in the best hands! She sent daily photos and updates, was super flexible and accommodating, and I could tell my playful pup was happy as can be!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I dog sit for my aunt all of the time and I care for my sisters dogs often. She has a full bred German Shepherd and an Australian Shepherd Mix. I am very dependable and will take great care of your pet! I’m not working anywhere at the moment, I am a full time nursing student. I have classes two times a week ( Mondays and Wednesdays) and I have clinical once a week currently. I live in a condominium community; there isn’t a yard per say however there is plenty of space to walk your dog outside in the fresh air!
“This is the 3rd time Deanna and her husband Gerald have watched our dog while we went out of town. As always, they took great care of Savannah and were very accommodating with her special needs due to a leg injury. It is obvious that they love dogs. We can't recommend them enough!”
“Our dog Max stayed with Danielle and her family and was treated like their own! She sent so many pictures and checked in to let us know how he was doing! Amazing! Best dog boarding we have ever had!”
“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”
“I got regular photos from her of my pup and he looked like he was just at home. I knew he had a good time when he hopped out of the backseat and went to her for goodbye pets.”
“Maddie was an incredible sitter. She was very knowledgable and provided pictures and updates throughout the day. There is a big backyard which was great for Chester to get some energy out. I would absolutely request to use her again!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog to go on vacation. I was so nervous about it and Jessica and her family calmed every anxiety I had. They were so flexible with our plans, sent photos of our dog, and provided updates on her. Thank you for everything!”

Erica went above and beyond to help keep my sweet boy comfy while I was out of town. She was very welcoming, sent daily updates and communicative. I felt very comfortable having him stay with her and would absolutely trust her to watch him again. I can’t recommend her enough!
I am so happy that we chose Danielle S. to watch Nala! Not only did she answer all of my questions before we boarded Nala, she had a way to watch Nala without crating her. We don't crate Nala. Danielle S.'s sweet dog actually slept with Nala to help her adjust to the new surroundings. Danielle S. also sent us a bunch of pics to show us how happy that Nala was during her stay. We will definitely be using Danielle S.'s services again in the future!
John was attentive and responsive when I had a last-minute sitting request due a flight change! He took great care of our shy cat, encouraging her to get out of her carrier and sending us multiple photos. He was considerate about other pets in his home and made sure to check in on our cat often. I highly recommend working with him!
Leeann was great for my 12 year old puppy who had never been away from immediate family, had just moved and lost her litter mate companion all at the same time! She was great with communication and Based on my dogs reaction to my return ( happy to see me but not pulling to get away) I know she was happy. I would definitely book Leeann again!
Just the absolute sweetest and wonderful pet sitter! My doggy was cared for and spoiled beyond belief! We would absolutely use Metrica again! She went above and beyond! Sent me tons up updates and pictures which Made everything so much more to see my boy looking so so happy! Thank you so much Metrica for the love and care you give all animals!
Amanda was great! Very communicative and flexible with timing for pickup and drop off. They were put in a tough spot with a large storm the night before our drop off, but were still willing to host our dog. She sent pictures and highlights each day, and welcomed him as one of their own. I definitely recommend, and will be looking to rebook next time we travel.
I had to find a sitter for my dog and cat at the last minute and PJ said she could take them! She was a life saver! She took such great care of my babies and even clipped my dogs nails! She went above and beyond to make my babies feel at home and loved! Thanks again, PJ! You are the best !
Our anxious doodle did wonderfully on a long stay with Ruth. She went above and beyond making sure our pup was comfortable and cared for, and was great on giving us updates. We also had the best transition back home we have ever had, so I know our pup truly felt at home with Ruth. Highly recommended, Ruth will be our first choice for future trips!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Elsmere on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 750 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elsmere. About 93% of Elsmere sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
