“Bill 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 wouldn’t have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!”
“Alycia took great care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. She was very responsive, sent photos and updates, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. We appreciated the communication and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Amy was amazing with our pup Nora! She was so easy to work with. She kept us up to date on all of Nora’s adventures while we were away! Her communication and pics put us at ease knowing Nora was in good hands and having the best time! We will definitely reach out to Amy again when we need someone to keep Nora!”
“Hazbleydy I. & her husband were great! My dog can be very anxious and is usually not fond of new people but she had a great time at their house. Hazbleydy kept me updated with pictures the entire time, and even went out to get supplies for my dog that had ran out of during the stay. I would highly recommend her!”
“Dana was easy to communicate with and she sent me pictures of my dog every day. I was happy with Pidge's stay, felt like she was in kind and safe hands during my trip. I recommend Dana!”
“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!”
“Paige and Steve and their family were wonderful in caring for Mango! They provided regular updates and quick responses. Mango had the best time running around and playing with the kids. I would highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to book again.”
“Jane was awesome! She gave us pictures and updates everyday. My boys acted like they could have cared less to be going home with us because they had such a good time at Jane’s house! I would highly recommend her. You can tell she really loves dogs even if they have health issues.”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Jane is amazing! I'm so happy I found her to dog sit while me and my family were on vacation. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing every day. Couldn't be happier!”
“Debbie was awesome! Our dogs are a little anxious but they warmed up to Debbie right away and had an awesome time staying with her! They definitely loved the big fenced in yard. Debbie was very responsive and a great communicator. Our dogs can't wait to go back!”
“Avery was AMAZING with our German Shepherd puppy Maverick! She kept us in the loop daily with pictures and texts. She took him on multiple walks a day, got him a pup cup, and even took him to PetSmart to pick out a new toy. If you’re looking for a sitter who will dedicate 100% of her time to your dog, Avery is the one!”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“This was my Cherrys very first time staying with a sitter, so naturally, we were a bit anxious about how things would go. But from the very beginning, Ryan was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. He took the time to make sure both my dog and I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I’m so grateful for how smoothly everything went. Highly recommend—especially if you’re a first-time dog parent looking for someone you can really trust!”
“We cannot say enough positive things about Krista and Brent! They took great care of Buddy and sent frequent updates and photos to us. We felt comfortable knowing that Buddy was in good hands while we were on vacation. They were flexible and easy to work with. Their dog, Stella, is very sweet and provided a nice companion for Buddy during his stay, too. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Krista and Brent for your dog boarding needs!”
“This 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.”
“We felt very confident having our 14 yr. old sheltie stay with Tasha and Joe. The day before we were to take her to their house, our dog developed bloody stools and required an emergency vet appt. Fortunately, she only required meds and Joe assured us he would give her the meds required and watch to see if any other issues appeared. They sent daily pics and updates. I was also gkad to know they had other dogs as I feel she enjoys the social interaction and helps her settle in better. She returns next week for another stay.”
“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!”
“Katie always does a great job with my dogs! She has watched them multiple times, and she takes great care of them. She is responsive to messages as well, and sends picture updates! I would definitely recommend her services.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Foster 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 Foster.
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 Foster 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.
