“Cathy was amazing. Helped me out in a pinch and accepted my last minute request when I was struggling to find a sitter. Great communication and lots of pics. Wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thanks again, Cathy!”
“Chrissy was really good to my puppy. We will use her services again. She is very professional and we appreciate her knowledgeable suggestions on things to do with our dog.”
“Michael is great to work with. He is extremely flexible with pick up/drop off. I have now taken my pup to Michael twice and each time he has given updates and sent pictures, which I really appreciate. I have a very high energy dog and he has come home tired and content both times. I cannot recommend booking with Michael enough!”
“Kerri is a wonderful sitter! Our dog Luna has stayed with her family several times. Kerri sends me tons of pictures and keeps me updated. Luna gets to play with her dog friends and with Kerri’s kids. Every time we bring her to Kerri’s house, Luna runs up to the door.”
“Cori and her family were great! Our dog loved them and had a really good time at the stay. When Delilah had a medical issue arise (no fault of Cori's), Cori was communicative and made sure she was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this Rover.”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of a puppy in her home while we were away on vacation. Her and her family showered my boy with lots of love and treats. Highly recommend benefits Jennifer to watch your furbabies!”
“Tammi was a wonderful host to our pups. She gave us such peace of mind that I was able to focus on the event and not worry if our girls were safe. My first time using Rover was a success, I will definitely return to Tammi again!”
“Michael and Anne are friendly, caring and reliable people who communicated daily (pictures, texts) while we were gone for 8 days. They did a fabulous job following and carrying out very specific instructions for our dog with newly diagnosed chronic medical needs. This was so reassuring and made our time away much less stressful, as it was the first time we have left her since the diagnosis.”
“This was our first time getting a babysitter and it went great. Michelle was responsive and let me know that my puppy was doing great. Will definitely take her again.”
“Sally was so kind and communicative while watching my dog while I was out of town for a few days. She took great care of him and sent photos and updates regularly so I knew how he was doing. I would highly recommend working with Sally to take care of your pet!”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“They were amazing! My pups did not go without love. They sent pictures to update us on eating habits, play time and behaviors. I appreciated the updates and loved the fact they were dog lovers. When I dropped off the pups, they made sure they would do well in a new environment before leaving. When we returned from out of town, they were understanding of our late arrival and had the pups fed before we came. Overall, I would choose them again.”
“Melissa and her family were absolutely wonderful. They watched our boy for 5 days when we had to travel for a wedding! Pickup and drop off was a breeze. Melissa was always prompt with her responses and kept us posted with pictures! We don't leave him very often so he is quite anxious with strangers but meeting Melissa and her girls made us feel comfortable to leave him. I would definitely drop him off with her anytime! Thanks Melissa!”
“This was our first time using Rover. I was so happy that we found Taylor to care for our goldendoodle, Rosie. Rosie was well cared for during her stay. Taylor was very responsive and gave us updates. We look forward to having Rosie stay with Taylor again.”
“Abbigail took great care of our Coda on a last minute request. She made her feel comfortable with lots of padded bedding options, and made us feel comfortable through receiving photographs throughout her stay. She was also able to drive Coda to her regular sitters home while I was still traveling. Really a stress free stay.”
“Our dog had great care with Caleigh! Great backyard for dogs, good communication, and she did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable while we were away.”
“John and wife were amazing, super friendly, responsive and LUNA cane home super happy as opposed as previous times we let her in the veterinary boarding. Thank you so much!”

Meet & greet was super informative and made me feel very comfortable. Abbie takes all the precautions to keep every dog safe and happy. She has a huge fenced in yard for the dogs to play. I received so many pictures and videos of my puppy at his stay which made a world of a difference since I hate leaving my baby behind. Highly recommend and will use Abbie 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!
My dogs are very particular with people and usually take time to get used to new people, but when I tell you, they both immediately took to Dani and her Husband as if they have known them for years! I was so relieved that I could enjoy my week long vacation knowing they were more than happy to be with Dani. Definitely will have Dani sit again!
Destiny did a great job with my kitty Lia, though on the third day it took an unexpected turn (not destiny’s fault in the slightest) my kitty is very skiddish even when I got her and that causes Lia to get into a hard to reach area where it took days for her to come out, thanks to destiny’s dedication and patience my kitty came out the day I was supposed to pick her up. She was well fed and got to socialize with other kitties, and I also got an update every morning and evening which was very nice, thank you destiny for such an amazing job with Lia.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Elsmere on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 757 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elsmere. About 91% 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.
