“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Cori responded to my messages quickly and sent me several updates and pictures during my weekend away. My dogs had fun playing with hers, and they were nice and tired when I picked them up :)”
“Jenny was awesome! We are so happy she was able to help us out last minute. Piper absolutely loved the long walks and great care Jenny provided. We received updates and pictures throughout her stay. We highly recommend!! Thank you Jenny!”
“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!
“Our puppy Onyx always has the best time with Meghan and her family! Meghan is kind and patient with our young pup and shares all the love and snuggles with him while we are away.”
“Chrissy did great with my Willow! I was at a loss with having people watch her due to her anxiety and rowdiness but while she was with Chrissy she seemed to get plenty of play time and I got photos while she was there! I’ll definitely be using her again! Highly recommend.”
“Dalton goes the extra mile in making you and your dog feel comfortable. Very pleased with our experience and will definitely be reaching out again! Very accommodating service and excellent with high energy dogs!”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“Michael was wonderful with Pep. Didn't know if she was aggressive/fearful of dogs (especially with me not being there) but Michael had a plan from day one and did things safely and professionally. Was well updated the entire time she was there, and she was certainly tired from all the playing she did while I was gone. Very easy recommendation from me, will use again.”
“Karen is amazing! My dog absolutely loves Karen and gets excited when we pull Down her street. Karen keeps me updated as to how Piper is doing and genuinely cares about her.”
“Gabrielle was wonderful to work with and despite this being the first time we used her, we felt comfortable with her right away. She clearly has experience and is loving and caring. I knew Max was in excellent hands. Max had a great time and made a new friend in Jetson. Gabrielle was great about sending pictures throughout our vacation and little updates. I now have a new back up sitter for Max.”
“Danielle was amazing and always was tentative to Ruger. She sent multiple pictures daily and always communicated throughout my trip. I will be using her from now on. Thanks Danielle!!!”
“Jessica and her family were absolutely wonderful! I was so happy to see that Moose took over the sofa with her husband, the evening of Day #1. Jessica gave daily updates, and was very attentive, especially since my guy started vomiting. She called and was very concerned of why/how to remedy the situation. Jessica quickly adapted his food intake and kept me posted of his improvements. I'm happy to report that he was simply having so much fun with their girls and drank all kinds of water from the hose and sprinkler, that he ran himself ragged. Amazing family...would definitely recommend! We hope that she is available next year as well.❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elsmere
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!
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 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.
