“Chrissy and her family loved on our Mo so well while my husband and I were away on a vacation. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family, so we were nervous and she assured me with her experience and by sending us photos along the way he was in amazing hands. He also loved (maybe had a crush) on the other dog staying with her, so honestly, I think it was a vacation for my dog too! HA. Definitely will be coming back if we long term travel again!”
“Abbie was amazing! From the time we did our meet-and-greet, we knew her home would be a great fit for Kobe. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Kobe had a blast playing with her dogs! She was also very accommodating to a modified pickup time after we experienced flight delays. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Leeann has cared for our girl, Cami, on two occasions, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She provides excellent care, keeping us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Her communication is outstanding—always clear, timely, and professional. What truly sets Leeann apart is her dedication. When a snowstorm disrupted our travel plans, she didn’t hesitate to extend Cami’s stay for two extra days, ensuring she was safe and well cared for. That level of flexibility and kindness means the world to us. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does, we wholeheartedly recommend Leeann. Your fur baby will be in the best hands!”
“Jane was wonderful with Penny. Our dog was feeling separation anxiety and she was so kind and patient. She sent lots of pictures and I felt very good about leaving her with Jane. This is our second time using Jane and I’d definitely use her again. Thank you so much!!”
“As a first time customer with the rover app and being very untrustworthy of anyone watching my sweet baby boy and taking care of him for me while I’m gone, Cori watching him definitely changed that. She is very communicative and very personable, she is very honest about her pups, she sends daily photos and daily updates as requested. As an over protective dragon mother with my boy, I can definitely say my anxieties were at an all time low with Cori. I will be coming back to her most definitely and maybe even for simple daycare! I also wish to add that she’s very patient with my unfortunate last minute changes and I wish to publicly thank her for that.”
“Rachel was fantastic! I had multiple personal issues and had to book last minute and Rachel was prompt with responding and so accommodating. Sent pictures throughout so I knew my dog was having a wonderful time. Highly highly recommend!”
“Very nice and responded back very quickly to my text messages! Sent pictures of my fur baby to let me know she was ok. We would definitely use Diane again! Thank you”
“Jill was a wonderful sitter for my dog while I was out of town. She was able to help out on short notice when my regular sitters were unavailable. She made sure my dog was well cared for, got plenty of attention, and took him for walks every day. She was also very communicative and provided me with picture and video updates every day. I would absolutely reccomend her!”
“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!”
“Jamie was great! Very responsive at giving updates and videos while we were away. Each time both dogs seemed very happy and enjoying the extra space they had to run around in. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“I can’t recommend Kristen enough! She took amazing care of Kane while I was away. Communication was excellent — I received daily updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cares for the animals she welcomes into her home. When I returned, Kane was super happy, relaxed, and definitely well cared for. I will absolutely be booking with Kristen again — she’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly committed to providing a safe service/environment!”
“Jessica and her family were absolutely wonderful! I was so happy to see that Moose took over the sofa with her husband, the evening of Day #1. Jessica gave daily updates, and was very attentive, especially since my guy started vomiting. She called and was very concerned of why/how to remedy the situation. Jessica quickly adapted his food intake and kept me posted of his improvements. I'm happy to report that he was simply having so much fun with their girls and drank all kinds of water from the hose and sprinkler, that he ran himself ragged. Amazing family...would definitely recommend! We hope that she is available next year as well.❤️”
“This was our dog's second stay with Deana and Gerald. They again took wonderful care of Savannah. They go out of their way to make sure she feels comfortable and are willing to deal with her little quirks. It is obvious that they love dogs! We are grateful to have found Deana and Gerald and highly recommend them!”
“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!”

Jamie was amazing! Willow was worn out by the time she got back home and she’s a lab so I know she got to run to her hearts content. I got many updates and pictures/videos, it’s safe to say I felt as though she was in the best hands as possible. Definitely would recommend Jamie and I would love to use her again!!

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.
96% of sitters in Idlewild 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 Idlewild 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 Idlewild.
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 Idlewild. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Idlewild 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.
