About: I've always had a special connection with animals and genuinely enjoy being around them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs and cats for family and friends and have always enjoyed getting to know their unique personalities. One of my favorite things about working with dogs is teaching them fun tricks and basic commands. I've successfully taught dogs to sit, stay, roll over, and beg. Once, I even taught my dog to walk backwards on two legs 🤭 I love seeing them learn and gain confidence through patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I'm also someone who loves being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need is something I truly enjoy. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for a member of your family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure animals feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly home with family members who also love animals, along with a friendly Golden Retriever and my cat. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because every pet has a different personality and comfort level, I take the time to help them feel secure and adjust at their own pace. We have a spacious backyard and deck area, and I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks to make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I'll always follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care your pet may need so they receive the same love and attention they're used to at home.
“Jen was amazing!! I think our Stats is depressed that she is gone lol. I would love to have Jen back the next time we go out of town. She sent pictures and videos which were so much fun to see!! I soooo appreciate her!!!”

“Julie was so helpful to us! She took care of our elderly dog and skittish kitty with as much love as we would have. She provided regular updates and photos and even did light housekeeping for us-that we didn’t expect at all!! I highly recommend Julie for your pets and home.”

About: I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in the house since I was little. I love being around animals and dogs make me so happy. I have three of my own dogs and spend all my extra time walking dogs at my local shelter. I love being around animals and if I can make a little extra cash it’s a win win 🥰 I am off for the summer but even once school is back on I am off at an early time. My job is extremely flexible, which gives me plenty of time to help take care of extra pups I have a large fenced in yard and have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once. Safety is my top priority, your dog will be treated as if they are my own 😊
“Karley took such great care of our poodle mix! She communicated well and often. I wasn’t worried for one moment about Kiki while we were on a family vacation. Glad we found her and will use again!”

About: I am a Division 1 soccer player that manages time very well. With that, I am very active and responsible. I grew up with dogs my whole life and had to end up taking care of 2 of my senior dogs. They were a lot to take care of but, that didn’t matter to me as long as they were feeling loved. We have adopted 2 puppies within the past 3 years, so I do understand the commitment it takes to keep them in order. I have taught my puppies tricks, like sit, shake, spin and lay down! I do work part-time in the restaurant business so my shifts only last 4-5 hours max. I am very active, so I get my puppies walked usually 2-3 times a day. Whenever I am pet sitting, I make the pet my priority. I usually plan my schedule on what I have to do around the pet I am sitting. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. In clients’ homes, I keep their routine consistent with feeding, walks/litter care, and lots of attention, plus regular updates for peace of mind.
About: Life is better with dogs—and my English Bulldog, Dolly agrees! I'm a retired, lifelong dog lover and owner with 6 years of experience caring for dogs for family and friends. I offer boarding at your place (possibly with my dog, Dolly tagging along, if you are OK with it), dog walking, feeding visits, and playtime visits, all with lots of love and attention for you fur baby! I have always had dogs in my life, many reaching senior age and even a couple with medical issues, but all have been well cared for and loved beyond measure. As I said before, life truly is better with dogs! As a retired teacher and dog lover, caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to dedicate to dog sitting, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to be available most days and times, ensuring your pup receives the best attention and care possible. When caring for dogs at your location, I always provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel safe and receive plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and walks. It is my goal that your dog feels relaxed and happy under my care, and I will do my very best to make sure of that! Since I'm retired with a very flexible schedule, your dog will not be left alone for extended periods and we will enjoy plenty of companionship throughout the day. My English Bulldog, Dolly, is friendly, easygoing, well-behaved and gets along well with all other dogs. She enjoys having a playmate, is always happy to make a new friend, and she sleeps a lot! lol! If possible, I love to have her join us when I am sitting for other dogs. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and provide owners with peace of mind knowing their fur baby is in loving hands.
About: I have been helping to care for dogs since I was 10. I grew up with golden retrievers in the home and have been around dogs my entire life. Our Rottweiler recently passed away and my daughter and her were best friends! I am not ready to have a dog back in the house full time but have realized, after dog sitting for a friends puppy, this would be a great way to help care for others pets. I work from home so I am able to take frequent breaks for walks and potty breaks. I would not make myself available to care for anyone’s pets if I knew I was going to be out of the house for long periods of time. I also have a dog park in my neighborhood. I do not have a large yard, however; I do have a dog park in my neighborhood that is large and fenced in for great exercise. We would take frequent walks with my daughter around the neighborhood as well.
“Taylor took amazing care of Ranger! She even took him for walks! I felt 100% at ease leaving him in her care. She sent pictures regularly, played and snuggled with him! I certainly will book her again!”

“Eli was punctual, his communication is excellent! He watched over my dog like I would have and put my mind at ease. He sent pictures and was overall an A+++ sitter! Highly recommend!”

“Megan and Lee are awesome! It was so lovely getting to do a meet and greet before we left on our trip. They took wonderful care of the pets and I really enjoyed getting photos of the happy animals while we were away.”

About: I’ve been handling pets for many many years, have a lot of love to give, knowledge to share, and care to give to your pet, if you need someone reliable to handle your pet while your vacation, or away from home I’m your guy! I work full time, but in the weekends and I am on the weekends at any time and on weekdays I can be available after 7pm-8:30pm I have one small dog, and care for him day in and day out, making sure he always has toys, is entertained, and has a healthy feeding/bathroom schedule. Can provide the same loving care for You pet as well!
About: I have taken care of animals since I was twelve, I love spending time with furry friends! I can help train puppies as I have trained 2 of my own, I have helped geriatric and diabetic animals as well. I am a currently student at Ohio State and have free gaps during my day since I don’t have classes on Thursdays or Fridays. I am an active person and go on daily walks myself and so I would love to have a buddy! My apartment doesn’t have many stairs so it’s easy for dogs to come up, I have a huge park right near me where lots of dogs like to go and play.
“Bethany was freaking incredible. I gave her so many instructions to follow for my pets routine, and she followed them to the tee. My dog fell in love with her. She was able to administer medicine to my cat AND put a harness on him… if you know anything about cats, you will know how hard that is to do…. Amazing. Thank you so much Bethany for making my first experience on rover a seamless process. I can’t wait to book you again!”

Hopkinsville pet parents share their Rover experiences
Julie was an amazing sitter for our golden retriever, Murphy! She made an effort to meet him prior to booking. When we were out of town, she sent us several pictures of their adventures, communicated with us if she needed anything, and made sure our dog was well taken care of. I’d recommend Julie to anyone looking for an in house sitter!!
