“Provided regular updates, always responded quickly whenever I messaged her, and took such great care of my fur baby. I picked my pup up happy, healthy, and in great condition.

About: I grew up always being with dogs, and many other animals. Along with walking, running, or just playing with your dog(s) I can also help with training. I have experience with administering medications and am comfortable doing so. As an animal care professional I have 15 years of experience with animals. Not only can I care for your dog, but I can also care for your cats, birds, & fish. I can help with house training and basic behavior training for your pup. All sorts of pets are fun to care for! I am usually available in the evenings and early mornings. I can also house-sit any night of the week. Let me help you keep your pup, or other pet, at its happiest! Have a good day! Pets are great companions for us all. I can't wait to see my dog everyday and make sure he's living his best life which is just how I'd care for your pet. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to play. Our own dog is friendly and loves to hang with other dogs too.
“When you return from your trip and Kate brings your pup back from boarding her and the dog spends the first 20 minutes crying by the front door, you know you chose the right sitter!”
“Amanda and Donnie seem like nice people and their dogs are well-cared for, which leads me to be pretty confident they treat your dogs with the same care. Stuart apparently had a great time and enjoyed playing with their dogs.”
“Mariah and her family took excellent care of Harper during her visit. Mariah was flexible, responsive and super friendly. Mariah made sure Harper felt at home and I am appreciative Harper had the opportunity to play with her furry friends there!”
“We needed to leave our dog for a week and were very happy with the care and attention he received at Savanah’s house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Savanah and would happily have our dog stay at her house again!”
“Haily was great and Arlo seemed to have a great time! I appreciate her taking Arlo on such short notice. I usually get pretty nervous taking Arlo to new sitters because he is so big and full of energy but she reassured me throughout his stay that everything was good and she provided pictures. Overall it was a great experience. Thank you!”
“Emma 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 when’s she’s with a sitter! So thankful Emma took such good care of our baby pup!”
About: Loving, Reliable Dog Care Since 1998 My passion for caring for dogs began in 1998 when I started walking dogs in Washington, DC. What began as a simple love for dogs quickly grew into a rewarding business built on trust, reliability, and genuine care. With decades of experience, I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I provide dependable, personalized care so pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, sitting, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra attention and companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of love. Over 25 years of experience. A lifelong love of dogs. Care you can trust. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie for your dog to play with. I am retired so I am home all day, every day. We love to go out and walk every day . I have a fenced in yard with wire all the way to the ground. My built in pool also has a safety fence. I have a 5 lb. Yorkie. My house is free for your dog to run around.
“Tyler is a great sitter! Our dog stayed with him for 5 days and he came home to us very happy. I really appreciate how he quickly replies to messages and sent photos and videos of my dog through out the stay.”
“Literally the best!!!! My dog never even missed me. She took care of him as if he were her own. Sent me multiple updates. Made me so happy and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing he was well taken care of and having a blast! THANK YOU”
“This was the first time I’ve ever used Rover and I feel so fortunate to have found Hannah through Rover. She took excellent care of my Buddy. The pictures she sent me showed that he was being well cared for and having his own little get away. I highly recommend Hannah. I’m sure Buddy will miss her and her pups, Ziggy and Aria. Thanks so much!!!”

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.
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.
97% of sitters in Ghent can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s 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 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 Ghent 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 Ghent.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ghent. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Ghent 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll 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.
