“Easy to get along. Great communication. Stella took right to them. Michael and Elizabeth treated her like one of their own pets. Thanks for making my first Rover experience one to be modeled after.”
“So glad we chose Brooke! Knowing she was knowledgeable of working dogs and their needs was so refreshing. She kept our pittie and heeler. She checked in and sent us pictures and updates. We’d love to use her again for any future boarding needs! ♥️”
“Lacy is great! She was tuned in to Bear’s needs and made accommodations to help him feel comfortable. I highly recommend recommend her to anyone who needs to board their pup in the E-town area!”
About: Hello, my name is Heather and I have worked with a large variety of animals my entire life. I worked for our vet when I got into high school and regularly pet sat throughout the years. Over the years ive pet sat for friends and friends of friends. I have great references and I am happy to share them. I can take up to 2 dogs in my home. I travel and do pet sit at a few local places regularly. All I ask for is directions if needed for specific animals(meds behavior etc) and emergency phone # for vet please! All necessary instructions etc will be discussed prior of coarse. I currently am enrolled in school online so I am as flexible as needed. Whatever schedule your pets are used to I can work with. I will care for your pet as you wish and keep as close to their schedule as possible! Traveling is stressful enough and I will do what I can to help lessen the stress of your animals care while away.
About: Growing up with dogs of all sizes taught me how to adapt to their unique needs, training styles, and energy levels. I currently care for two energetic, 45-pound dogs, which requires daily structured exercise, interactive mental stimulation, and consistent behavioral management. We all savor ending the night with cuddles and love. I currently work weekdays and get off around 2:30pm so I would be available after then and on some weekends. Due to my job, i'm often available when there are seasonal/holiday breaks. I also live on the base at fort knox! I have 2 dogs that are very shy around newcomers, but love to play when they are warmed up. Since I understand that going into someone's home it's scary for the new comer. I will be extra careful and make sure that they feel comfortable and safe. I do have a fenced yard. I am always around the dogs, so there are almost no times when they are left alone.
“Michele was an amazing sitter! I could tell my pup was very comfortable and loved being with her. Michele sent lots of photos and videos and always kept me filled in. I look forward to hiring Michele again!”
“Kembra was very nice to work with. She made sure to keep me updated throughout my trip, and sent pictures to show that Duke was having a good time. Only thing to know going in, is that her house seems to show up incorrectly on Google maps. I suggest getting with her before drop off to make sure you reach the correct house.”
About: The thing that sets me apart from most? I'm very active, so I can keep up with a lot. I've had dogs my entire life. From saint Bernard's and my current Newfoundland, to teacup chihuahuas. My animals get the best care, and so will yours if you give me the pleasure of taking care of them❤️ I work full time (Friday-Monday) at the kentucky truck plant in louisville but have the rest of the week off. Usually I'm really active on my days off. So my dogs always go on runs on my off days. Your animals will get the best care possible. Whatever special care your animal needs, I will go above and Beyond for your four legged kid.
“Ann had Daisy for 10 Days, she kept me updated with pictures and how Daisy was doing. I know Daisy had the best time with Ann and Riggins! If I could leave a 10 star review I would!”
“Angela and her family were wonderful with our fur babies. They were excited to see us arrive for pick up, though had to go back to get additional cuddles from them before leaving. ❤️”
About: Your pet’s second home away from home, with plenty of outdoor play time, my couch is your pet’s couch, and cuddles are a Plus—no female dogs. I’m available during the summer, most holidays, weekends, and four-day passes. During work hours, I can always take a lunch break. This is a family gig, so kids are also available and capable of taking care of the dogs. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly and energetic beagle (Milo). I do 20-minute walks twice a day, lot of play time too.
“Nicole was very friendly and accommodating to Axel for the night of boarding. She was even able to pick him up and drop him back off. He got along with all of her other friendly pets and felt very comfortable during his stay. I would recommend Nicole to anybody else who needs an accommodating place for their fur babies ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Garfield on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 45 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Garfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Garfield 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 Garfield.
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 Garfield 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.
