“Beth was so nice and absolutely wonderful! I love that she likes to meet the dogs ahead of time to make sure they are a right fit for her and her adorable sweet dog. She sent lots of pictures and updates and will definitely book again with her!”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“Sarah and Daniel were the best sitters for our dorgi! We received multiple pictures per day and saw how much love and affection he received. It made us feel so much better and allowed us to enjoy our trip! He had such a wonderful time staying with them and we will definitely request that he stay with them during our future trips. Completely recommend Sarah and Daniel to anyone that needs dog-sitting!”
“Sharon took very good care of my dog Bear for the week I was gone and Wesley was a great friend for her as well. She is very understanding and flexible when I got delayed due to a snowstorm. I can’t recommend her enough as someone who will take care of your fur babies as her own and leave you with no worries!”
“Amanda is great! My tiny and opinionated dog seems to get along with her dogs, and she's always very communicative and accomodating with drop-off/pick-up times. I know my dog will be well cared for and as unstressed as possible when I'm out of town. Very grateful for Amanda!”
“Broke was an excellent choice for our stay! She was incredibly communicative, sending us regular pictures and being flexible when we needed to extend our stay. We highly recommend her!”
“Rachel took great care of Cali and sent updates everyday while boarding. Responsiveness gets 5 stars also ! Felt good leaving her in Rachel’s hands. Will come back!”
“What a fantastic experience! Rocky was taken care of really well. He had tons of fun with Chris, his kids and his dog Luna. Rocky was so ha[[y there, now he is bored home :). Several times a day Chris was sending me pictures and videos of Rocky playing, eating, sleeping, swimming in the pool, etc. That was the first time I ever left Rocky with somebody else. I was nervous at first, but Chris made it very easy for us from the moment we met throughout the whole week. Highly recommend!”
“Ebony was wonderful!! She was very accommodating with our last minute plans and drop off times. She kept me updated and sent pictures/video every day and my babies had the best time with her. 10/10 recommend!! 💕🐾🐾”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
About: As a pet mom who's been using Rover since 2020, I've met all kinds of pet sitters and learned about their different pet care styles. Being on the other side of things, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with unfamiliar people. I want to help other pet families feel comfortable knowing their babies are in good hands! I grew up with dogs for most of my life and currently have a dog named Ivan and a cat of my own named Francis. I've always been a huge animal lover and a major empath, especially when it comes to animals. I'm even vegan, if that tells you anything! If I had it my way, I'd probably have a house full of animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know animals and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I promise to treat your babies with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own! I'm currently a college student with a pretty short work schedule from 2:45 PM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. I'm a major homebody who enjoys watching movies, playing board games, and reading books, so I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day without having to worry about them being alone for long periods of time. I'm a very routine based pet owner. I follow consistent feeding times, wash my pets' bowls twice a day, and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I'm more than happy to follow whatever routine your pets are used to! As someone who has used Rover for years, I personally love receiving lots of pictures and updates of what my dog, Ivan, is doing during his stay. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pets are happy, comfortable, and being well taken care of. I also understand how important it is to keep a safe environment, whether that's making sure food is put away, keeping things out of reach, or simply paying attention to what your pets are getting into. I promise to respect your home, follow your instructions, and care for your babies as if they were my own!
“Lynn was great! She was available last minute and made me feel so comfortable leaving tipper with her. She gave great updates and gave him lots of love! He had the best time!”
About: We believe every dog deserves individualized care, which is why we only board one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows us to provide a calm, low-stress environment where your pup receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. Our family genuinely enjoys having dogs in our home. Our friendly Siberian Husky loves canine companionship, and our three children enjoy playing fetch, exploring the backyard, and giving our guests lots of love and attention. We tailor each stay to your dog’s personality and needs—whether that means long walks and outdoor adventures or a quiet day relaxing inside. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because we’ve boarded our own dog, too. That’s why communication is one of our priorities. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates along with messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pup is doing. Safety is equally important to us. We have a large, securely fenced backyard, require current vaccinations, and carefully introduce dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable. We also keep our schedule flexible so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods and receives the care and attention they deserve. Our goal is simple: to make your dog feel like part of our family while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. We work from home and have flexible schedules, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Because we only care for one family’s pet(s) at a time, we can tailor our routine to meet your dog’s individual needs and help them feel right at home. Our pets are part of the family! Our friendly Siberian Husky loves to play and enjoys the company of other dogs. We provide daily walks, playtime, plenty of outdoor time in our securely fenced yard, and lots of love and attention. We can accommodate crate-trained dogs and tailor each stay to your pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, so they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Melody was very good with communication and quick replies. She sends multiple pics daily & even sends the pups home with goodie bags when it’s time to go home. I am already about to book Melody for my next dogcation!”
“Lynne made us very comfortable right from the start. She made sure to keep in contact, even before we had a meet and greet, and when we met her she made us and our baby girl, Izzy, feel completely at ease. When we were gone on our vacation for 12 day's, Lynne sent pictures and updates letting us know how things were going. She completely spoiled our girl and made her feel loved. We would go back to Lynne in a heartbeat!”
“Shane helped my wife and I tremendously by being our last minute sitter for our dog during our wedding weekend. He was very quick to respond and cooperative to make the process as easy as possible. My dog really enjoyed his home. I would highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hurstbourne Acres
Sharon took such great care of Sadie! Since we had already done a meet and greet prior to her stay, Sadie wasn’t stressed or scared to go, she happily went inside Sharon’s home! Sadie is a senior dog with some quirks and extra needs, but Sharon took care of everything! I really enjoyed getting the messages, photos, and videos while we were out of town. I know Sadie can be very needy, but hopefully her cute face and sweet personality make up for it. She is such a timid dog, but I think it really helped having Sharon’s little dog there so she had a little buddy with her. Sharon was quick to respond to any questions I had during Sadie’s stay. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Robin is the sweetest! Her space is very clean with a big fenced in backyard. My dog absolutely loved hanging out with her. She is very communicative and easy to talk to and has a ton of experience with dogs. I definitely plan on using her in the future, she took wonderful care of my baby.
We had such a great experience with Chris! Samson was well taken care of, and I’m convinced Chris has some kind of magic touch! Our boy normally barks at cars nonstop, but on the ride home, not ONE bark! Whatever Chris did, we need his secrets! 😂 10/10 would recommend and would happily book with him again!
It was my 14 month old Vizslas first time staying with a sitter (or anywhere but home) so I was a little nervous about leaving him for a week. Meg was super responsive and kept me updated on how he was doing with pictures and I felt so at ease knowing he was in great hands. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and will definitely be boarding with her again in the future! She made him feel at home and he had such a great time!
Brooke did a wonderful job with my two fur baby. She sent lots of pictures, keeping me up to date with their active. She was also very flexible when I needed to alter drop off or pick up. She was very fast replying to all communications. I will definitely be using her again.

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 Hurstbourne Acres 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 Hurstbourne Acres 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 Hurstbourne Acres.
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.

You and your Hurstbourne Acres 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.
