About: I currently do not have a dog but my family do we have 3 dogs and just had puppies not too long ago that I potty trained. I have worked with the dogs in my house to make them calm. I do not work everyday and have alternative schedules, I go to the park daily and would love to have your dog come with me. I am very good with leash traing, and have taken the dogs or family members to parks many times I insure that no harm comes to dogs.
“Taylor and Joseph were so great with taking care of our dogs! They let me know when they arrived, how the dogs were doing, sent videos and pics, and were very flexible with their availability about when they could check on them! I highly recommend!”


About: Professional Care with a Nutritionist’s Touch Your Pet’s Wellness is My Business While many people on Rover are looking for a side gig, my entire professional life is built around the health and happiness of animals. As the owner and operator of Pet Wants Glasgow, I spend my days focusing on what makes pets thrive—from high-quality, slow-cooked nutrition to the importance of structured exercise. When I’m looking after your best friend, I’m bringing that same professional standard and specialized knowledge to your front door. Why I’m Different: Nutrition Expertise: I specialize in nutrient-dense diets and have a keen eye for dietary needs, allergies, and picky eater behaviors. Community Trusted: You may have seen me at Dennison’s Roadside Market or the Ace Hardware adoption events in Hart County, or at fundraisers in Bowling Green and Barren River State Park. I am a deeply rooted member of the community who believes in doing things right. Professional Reliability: Running a C-Corp means I value punctuality and communication. You’ll get consistent updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Hands-On Experience: I've been a dedicated pet parent to six dogs over my life and have worked with a variety of breeds and personalities from German Shepherds to Toy Poodles. The "Premium" Visit Experience: Tailored Approach: I adapt my pace to your pet’s specific energy level, whether they are a high-energy athlete or a senior who just wants a slow sniff around the yard. Wellness Focus: Every visit includes a quick check on behavior, energy, and coat health. A Special Perk: With your permission, I’m happy to include a sample of our premium, slow-cooked treats from Pet Wants for your pet to try! "I treat every visitor with the same focus on longevity and vitality that I give to my own. Your pet's health is my business—literally." Hello! I’m David. Friends and family know me as Dwain, and my life is dedicated to the health and happiness of animals. As the owner of Pet Wants Glasgow, I don't just "watch" pets—I advocate for their total wellness. Whether it’s a high-energy dog walk or a quiet cat check-in, I bring a level of professional oversight and nutritional expertise that most sitters can't offer. Professional Standards for Every Pet As the owner of a pet nutrition franchise and a C-Corporation, my approach to safety is built on professional accountability. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat my responsibility to them with the same level of care and organization I bring to my business operations. My Safety Protocols: Secure Transport: I use a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, which is well-equipped for safe pet transport in various weather conditions and terrain. Structured Interaction: I focus on "calm energy" and structured routines to ensure pets feel secure and unstressed, whether we are on a walk or a drop-in visit. Knowledgeable Oversight: My background in researching animal behavior, nutrition, and husbandry allows me to spot potential health or behavioral issues before they become problems. Community Accountability: Being a local business owner in Munfordville and Hart County means my reputation is my most valuable asset; you can trust that I will be there exactly when I say I will.
About: I provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications if needed, maintaining routines, and providing regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work PRN, which gives me flexibility to accept bookings when I’m available and devote quality time to the pets in my care. Since pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy, I view it as both a rewarding hobby and an opportunity to spend time with animals. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I make it a priority to keep pets comfortable and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. For active pets, I provide walks and enrichment activities. For senior pets or those who are more reserved, I’m happy to offer a calmer environment with extra patience and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect I would my own. I keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“Haley went above and beyond for us, she only stayed for 2 nights to house sit but she left the house absolutely spotless! She made sure to check in often to let us know everything was okay & followed all of the regular routine we gave her! I would absolutely recommend Haley to anyone needing a house sitter or just an intermittent pet sitter, our animals loved her. We will be hiring her again!”

About: I have worked and been around animals for a very long time. I have always owned animals and helped neighbors with their own animals. I have worked at 3 different animal shelters from Minnesota, Florida and here in Kentucky. I also worked in a pet store and was the animal care specialist. Also worked as a groomer for a short period of time. I have a home with multiple dogs and cats. In my current job I deal with dogs and cats from all sorts of breeds, sizes and temperaments. I currently work full time caring for animals and would be able to care for others animals before and after work. This would help fill is empty time throughout my day. I also work with my dogs every day on basic obedience skills. I do like to take my dogs on walks just for a change of scenery and take my dogs to certain stores that are pet friendly!
“I am a first time Rover user and was concerned about having a stranger in my home; but Taryn was spectacular! She did an amazing job with my fur baby! I received many pictures of Them on walks, enjoying play time, and snuggles! She was very professional and left my house better than she found it. I would highly recommend her to anyone, including those using Rover for the first time.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own young puppy. I enjoy taking him on walks and teaching him new tricks everyday, I already want another! But life circumstance won’t allow that right now, so I thought dog sitting would be perfect for me! I just would like to do something I love! My animals only need so much care and attention, so I thought being a pet sitter would be perfect. If it is a cat friendly and other dog friendly dog, I wouldn’t mind at all to pet sit at my house(my puppy loves playmates). Cat care and non-other animal friendly dogs would be at the clients home.

“Haley was great!! She kept us updated often and sent pics of our fur babies. Our diabetic little girl received her insulin dosages and was healthy and happy when we returned home. Our big shy boy has not been left alone since he came to live with us, but Haley knew how to let him come to her by sitting in the floor and waiting for him to come to her on his terms. We are very happy with the care in our absence, and would use Haley again when needed. 🐾”


“We always feel like our babies are in good hands when we leave them with Rhonda! And Rhonda is so good to work with. We always come back to a clean house and happy dogs. It's no wonder that she's booked up months in advance!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Horse Cave
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 56 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Horse Cave. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Horse Cave walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Horse Cave maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Horse Cave choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
