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: I am an animal lover and have voluntarily trained animals while working in the ARMY. I establish a " sense of security" for the animals with training and intuition , that has developed over my life experiences handling animals. I enjoy seeing the happiness in my own pets; for instance, after a hike. I will treat your pets with compassion and as if they are a ' part ' of my family , while they are in my care. I love dogs and cats and am looking forward to walking, training and allowing my own dog, Precious , to have socialization with other animals. I trained Precious to co habitat with cats. She is well behaved around all types of others , people and animals.
“Michael and Elizabeth took amazing care of my baby girl, Freya! They were kind, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. Freya came home happy and well cared for.”
About: I have been raised with dogs my whole life. I've been taught to treat them like family. Animals are my weakness. I go out of my way to make them happy. I love playing with dogs. Walking them. Teaching them. Most importantly loving them. My house will be your dogs home away from home. They will get so much love here from me and my kids. If they are older my kids no how to be gentle or just stay away. I will make sure they are safe and happy at all times. I can do as many walks as needed. Potty breaks are no problem with my big fenced yard. I do not leave dogs out for too long especially in the heat. We will have play time daily. They will get to sleep in my daughters room with her even on the bed if they prefer. There will be someone here at all times to watch them. I would love to meet you and your babies and become apart of their family. I also watch any other fur babies you may have! With my part time job I have plenty of time to spend with your babies. When they are with me they are my priority. All other activities are put on hold. We do as little as possible to make sure we spend as much time with your babies while they are with us. I have a fenced in backyard and a home they are welcomed in as family. Nice comfy twin sized bed for sleep! They will be spoiled!! I am an early riser so your pups will get to get out and enjoy the weather early. We will have plenty of playtime throughout the day. And daily walks. The pups needs are always put first. I want to be their home away from home. My home is their home and my fenced back yard offers plenty of play time!
About: I have a lot of experience caring for animals! We have had animals my entire life, and I currently now have 5 of my own. Anyone who knows me knows I am an animal lover and your dogs will feel at home here. I do have children ages 6 and 3 and one cat. I currently only work 2 days a week and have 2 kids who love to go on walks! So I am home most of the day and I am also able to walk any time of day! In my home I have a privacy fenced in backyard for your dogs to play in! I also have a crate that they can go in if needed!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for my entire life, so I’m very comfortable with all breeds, sizes, ages, etc. We currently have two cats and one wild Australian shepherd! I work remotely full time and can do my job from anywhere with WiFi. I can generally be available for drop in visits or walks any time during the day. At my house, dogs are welcome to hang out on the furniture and sleep in bed with us (if they want!). We have a very large, securely fenced yard for plenty of outdoor playtime. We never leave our dog unattended outside and wouldn’t leave others, either. In your home I would try to keep routine and rules as close to as when you’re home together.
About: Hi! I’m Kembra, an active duty Army Logistics Officer based in Kentucky, a military professional, and a proud mom. My career has taught me the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, communication, and caring for others, qualities I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve always had a love for animals and understand that pets are family. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a visit, or caring for them while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in your absence. My dog, Milo, of 12 years ( shown in my profile) has just recently passed away due to old age, so having a reminder of being around a persons best friend, is also so very cherished, through the sharing of others fur babies . I know what it means to have a “Man’s best friend” in this case , a woman’s . I’m dependable, patient, and believe every pet deserves individualized care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, dietary needs, medications (if applicable), favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide the same level of care they’re used to at home. As someone who values structure and consistency, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest communication so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I enjoy staying active, so long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection come naturally. Whether your pet loves adventure or simply wants someone to relax beside them, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. I have a clean, safe environment and understand the trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. My priority is giving you peace of mind while making your pet’s experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was a kid. Specialize in cockers, Jack Russell, and Labrador retrievers. I have also done pet sitting for my entire community in the recent years since 2016. I am currently not working and am available full time for your animal/s. I can stay the night. Be there throughout the day. I normally wake up and let my pets out between 5-6am. I fill their water bowels. They nap, we play, give lots of cuddles. I have 2 of the friendliest fur babies in the world to keep your furry friend company. One is my rescue baby Bailey a Jack Russell terrier mix. She is the most docile dog ever. And then my gentle giant, my chocolate Labrador retriever. They play together all day long. We’ll go potty at 6am get fresh water after and it will stay maintained all day. Followed by lots of playing and cuddles with nap time. Dinner for my dogs is at 5pm but your pet will be fed according to your directions. I generally have typical running around to include but not limited to : driving children, quick shopping errands, doctor’s appointments, etc. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have 2 fur babies to keep your fur babies company or can be totally focused on your pet at your residence. You choose.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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.
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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
