âBill and Haley are more than I could ask for in dog sitters⌠once after my fight got delayed, they were willing to bring my dog Sadie out to the car at 1 am, so I wouldnât have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!â
âVery pleasant experience. You can tell Dana and Jason are dog lovers. Our dog had a good time and got on well with their dogs. We especially like that Dana works from home so someone is with dogs most all ofvthe time. Will definitely use again, in fact already booked another visit!â
âThis was my third attempt to book with her and it finally worked out. I have a senior pup and she was accommodating and wonderful to work with. I would definitely book with her again.â
âTammi was absolutely amazing and we will definitely be using her again when we have to leave Knox!! She shared pictures throughout Knox's stay and kept us updated on his daily activities and play time with other pups. He had the BEST time and honestly was a little sad to come back home... LOL!â
âHayley 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!â
âAmy is the best and we are so grateful that she takes great care of Toby for us. If you are looking for someone to care for your dog the way that you do Amy and her family are the best option out there! Thanks again Amy!â
âThis 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!â
âJenny is great! She treated my pup very well. She took him on long walks (which he loves). She answered all of our questions. Whenever weâre back in town we will surely contact Jenny for our pup. Thanks for all youâve doneâ
âCori and family are AWESOME! We have repeatedly taken our two dogs to be cared for and loved on by her and highly recommend. We have a super chill Lab and an anxiety-ridden GSD. And she flexes to both of their needs and has the patience and understanding to handle our GSD. Both require some special meds/foods. I know it is always a tough decision to leave your furbabies in someone else's hands but Cori and her family can give you peace of mind that your pups are having a fun, attentive vacation of their own and most importantly of all - they are safe and expertly cared for.â
âErica 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 canât recommend her enough!â
âKaren was GREAT with our golden retriever Max and I would totally work with her again! Our family went were away for a week and wanted to leave Max at a house so heâd have 1:1 care instead of boarding, We hadnât met Karen previously but from the first minute we talked with her it was obvious she was a dog person and Max would be in great hands! Thanks Karen!!!â
âMelissa watched my Kramer who is 16yrs old and blind. She was very understanding of his condition and any issues that may have come with it. Iâm very grateful for Melissa and her kids understanding.â
âJessica and her family did a great job at watching our dog Dexsy. They gave her lots of love and responded to my messages in a timely manner. Will definitely consider booking with them again!â
âMadison was the best when sitting our dog Luna! She was able to take her on very short notice which we greatly appreciated. Madison was super responsive and treated Luna so well. She gave Luna all the cuddles and gave us plenty of fun and cute photo updates. We travel a lot so Luna will definitely stay with Madison again!â
About: Intrigued by âmanâs best friendâ since the tender age of 3; I engulfed my life with everlasting love and care for pets; for over 30 years! My experience includes: pet sitting for neighbors: cats and dogs; providing pet washing services; and volunteering at pet shelters. Playful pups are my specialty! Iâve previously sat with Yorkies, Dalmatians, German Shepards, French bulldogs, Goldendoodles, Pomeranians, and many more! I am currently available 24/7 for services. Feel free to contact me anytime with inquiries. Safety is my top priority! Pets are family! In my home, they are provided playful toys and loving interactions. Hourly walks with a harness collar; trailing into a field for wide range of motion; to soak in the sun are a must for my furry friends! For over night stays, they will be secured in an extra large crate starting at 11pm-5am with potty breaks and soothing music for pets.
âRachelle loved our dog like her very own while we were away on vacation! She cared for her so well, in fact, weâre going to have to step up our game now that we have our baby back home! đ Our dog also has a new best friend in Rachelleâs dog Sassy-a sweet, gentle, hospitable dog friend. Highly recommend Rachelle!â
âEmma was great with Poppy! Poppy has so much fun she did not want to come home and ate all her food which almost never happens whenâs sheâs with a sitter! So thankful Emma took such good care of our baby pup!â
âJill was a wonderful sitter for my dog while I was out of town. She was able to help out on short notice when my regular sitters were unavailable. She made sure my dog was well cared for, got plenty of attention, and took him for walks every day. She was also very communicative and provided me with picture and video updates every day. I would absolutely reccomend her!â

So long as you communicate well have a dog that needs a calm attentive caregiver or occasional zoomies when her kids can play outdoors too, the size dog that matches Angels â little guy, you will not be disappointed! Our second go around together and she has been terrific for our little pup!
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 of Dog Boarding in Florence is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $48 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 petâs 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 November 2026, there are 743 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Florence. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Florence can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Florence 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 Florence.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Florence. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Florence sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. Youâll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
