“I can’t say enough good things about Tammi. She took such loving care of our three dogs, Daisy, Stella, and our sweet senior girl, Sable. We were especially nervous about leaving Sable since she’s older and has some mobility issues, but Tammi kindly offered to do a meet and greet beforehand, which made such a difference. It immediately put our minds at ease and helped us feel confident that all three girls would be in the very best hands. While we were away, Tammi sent us pictures every day and kept us updated on how everyone was doing. She always responded quickly whenever we had a question, and knowing our girls were happy, comfortable, and surrounded by so much love made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our vacation. When we picked them up, all three dogs looked happy, healthy, and so well cared for. It meant so much to know that Sable was getting the extra patience and gentle attention she needed. Finding someone you can truly trust with your dogs, especially a senior dog who needs a little extra care, is priceless, and we’re so grateful we found Tammi. We will absolutely be booking with her again and couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Rachel is so amazing with our little guy. When we can’t take him along on adventures, we never have to worry about him missing out on any fun when he’s with Rachel. After lots of playtime and love he comes home needing an extra day of relaxation from his vacation 🙂.”
“Thank you Jane for taking such good care of Snowflake and sending us updates everyday. She looked happy with you and your 2 dogs. I’m glad she adjusted so well in your house. She will come back again. Thank you for everything.”
“Patricia watched our 2 cattle dog mixes for a week. She sent us daily updates with photos and was highly communicative and professional. Our pups loved Patricia (as well as her backyard lol) and she reported they were well behaved for her which is a sign of attentive care. We will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Haile takes such amazing care of our pup! He is on medication and she made sure he got all his medications on time. Rex loves Hailey and loves when he gets to go to her house and play! Definitely a repeat customer (already am) and highly recommend her!!!”
“Hailey took great care of Izzy! She was available on a short notice and made arrangements to pick Izzy up and drop her off. The communication was great and she sent us several pictures. We really appreciate it and completely recommend Hailey to watch your pet!”
“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!”
“Eliza was great! Home was well equipped, she did great to introduce our pups with hers, was great with timely communication, and our pups left well cared for and happy!”
“Erica 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 can’t recommend her enough!”
“Madison took great care of my girl! She sent me daily updates and photos and responded promptly whenever I reached out. She treated her as if she were her own and I would definitely trust her to watch my baby again!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’ve been around and caring for dogs since I was a child, and I currently have a 2-year-old Black Lab/German Shepherd mix of my own. I’ve cared for many breeds including Great Dane, chihuahua, basset hound, dachshund, German shepherd, boxer, labs, pit bulls, beagle, Australian shepherd, Doodles, mixed breeds and am very familiar with navigating group dynamics within packs. My current schedule allows me to be flexible and dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I can build my daily routine around each dog’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship. My goal is to make your dog feel right at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I treat every dog like they’re part of my family!
About: Hi! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾❤️ I’ve been pet sitting for over 14 years, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love! I know pets are family, and finding someone you trust to care for them is so important. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I offer boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and occasional house-sitting stays. Our home has a fenced-in yard, and I love giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and opportunities to play, relax, and feel at home. I have three dogs of my own—a Lab mix, a Husky mix, and a Shih Tzu—as well as two cats, so animals are a big part of our family! I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable in my care. I’m also a mom of three little ones, so we have a busy, loving household. I always want to make sure every pet is a good fit for our home and feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I’m a big believer in meet-and-greets before booking! I love giving everyone a chance to meet, get comfortable with one another, and make sure it’s a good fit for both your pet and my family. I want you to feel confident and at ease knowing who will be caring for your fur baby. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, and I want you to feel confident that they’re in caring hands. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your babies are doing while you’re away! Whether your pet needs a cozy place to stay, a friendly face to check in on them during the day, or someone to keep them company while you’re out of town, I’d love to help. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. ❤️ Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐱💕
About: I have had dogs for all 22 years of my life and would love to help take care of yours! I have experience and am more than comfortable taking care of large dogs, puppies, older dogs and every kind in between. I know how important pets are to us and I would love your furry friend like my own! When with your pet I would love to take them on walks, to dog parks, play fetch, or just hang out on the couch. Anything you already do with them to make them (and you) feel most comfortable. I am a flexible college student who is available for drop-ins to walk your dog, can accept last minute bookings, and anything else you may need. Being a flexible college student, I only have classes 2 days a week and am home or in the area 24/7. I love going on long walks and would love for your pet to join. Where I live also has a small dog park if your animal gets along well with others. I love watching TV/movies at home and your pet to be snuggled up with me. I am also always down for a tug of war, fetch, session, or walk!
“Mary did an amazing job with Penny. Penny got carrot, watermelon, or ice cube treats everyday. Sent lot's of pictures. Penny is a little bit of a peculiar dog and doesn't always get along with other dogs but Mary still handled her with love and care. I would definitely use Mary as a sitter again.”
“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!”

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.
96% of sitters in Goforth 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 Goforth 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 Goforth.
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 Goforth. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 Goforth 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.
