“I feel so grateful for Kim watching my dog, Ollie. She obviously loves dogs and takes wonderful care of them. Ollie likes socializing with the other dogs but he’s older and likes relaxing too. Kim’s house is a relaxing clean atmosphere for the dogs to play and can go outside when they need to. Love how she has gated the front door so no little one escapes. She sent photos and texts showing me he is content. Hopefully Kim will be available again when we go on a trip.”
“Jessica is great! My old dog is a bit needy and she was so sweet, meeting him where he’s at and not complaining about giving him extra attention. My kids and I all loved that she sent daily updates with photos. We will definitely check in with Jessica next time we need a sitter!”
“Rachel stepped in and helped me out after another Rover cancelled on me less than 24 hrs before my scheduled travel. I’m very appreciative - and fortunate! Rachel is a pro sitter - my greyhound was well taken care of and always had company (dogs & people). I highly recommend Rachel (and family) and will have Prince visit again.”
“Amy did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies. I had not a worry while they were in her care and by the looks of all the pictures and updates it looked like they had a great vacation too!”
“Patricia is a great sitter! I appreciate that she offered a meet and greet quickly and was very communicative throughout Annie Oakley's stay. We will definitely ask for her to sit Annie again.”
About: Hi! I don’t have any dogs currently- I put my last dog down about 1.5 years ago, but have been a dog lover all my life. I have experience with all ages and types of dogs but specialize in senior & reactive dogs. I do work full time- four days a week. I am off on Wednesdays and off on weekends. If I’m watching your pup, I’ll go home straight from work to get them out for a walk! I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home for your pets while you’re away! I love taking dogs on walks and, when appropriate, car rides for a little extra adventure. I’ll treat your pets like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while giving you peace of mind!
“I would undoubtedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog! Her communication was excellent both before and during the stay (she sent daily updates and pictures of Piper!) Piper was so well taken care of! She loved the walks Jenny took her on! I was nervous using Rover for the first time but now know I have someone reliable to care for Piper when we’re away!”
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! 🐶🐱💕
“Finn left Holly’s worn out and with a new best friend! Getting pictures of Finn and Millie together made us feel so happy knowing he was having a good time while we were away. We will definitely be using Holly again!”
“It was our first time with Krista and everything went smoothly. Our dog is a senior and she took great care of her. She came home and we could tell she was comfortable for the week she stayed with Krista because she fell right back into her routine of eating and sleeping. We will use Kristas services again next time we have to leave our girl.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would! Karen took excellent care of our little Ody! She played with him, gave him plenty of love and even a bath when he got wet and muddy from all of the spring rain! We also received pics and updates during our vacation. When I arrived after a week to pick him up, he was happy to see me, but looked right at home napping on the couch. I would highly recommend Karen as a sitter! We will be bringing Ody back any time we are away.”
About: I've grown up my whole life around all sorts of animals. I've worked as a dog bather for a short period of time. I've helped a dog give birth in home. I was in a car accident recently so i am currently unemployed and flexible with many schedules. I will not work on Saturdays due to I am busy during that day for religious reasons I give my pets a pretty simple schedule for food and outdoor time. I am happy to give lots of play and pet time. I also do enjoy just sitting down a maintaining their claws and fur.
“Susan took great care of our 2 miniature schnauzers while we were away. She sent pictures multiple times a day so we always knew what the dogs had been up to and could see they were doing well! Thanks for taking care of our dogs like they were your own while we were away!”

“Matthew was amazing. I’ve only had Oakley for two weeks and am still getting to know his habits, on top of the fact that he is already 85 lbs, but none of that bothered Matthew. He sent daily pictures and confirmed that all was going well. He is very relaxed and Oakley got along very well with his three dogs. Matthew has a very large backyard and a 100’ lead that was great for Oakley since he loves to just lay outside. I highly recommend Matthew and will be using him again.”
“Super accommodating, great w the needs of our senior dog, and good communication. I was just messing around and asked if they could please not forget to brush his teeth at bedtime. She replied that she couldn't find his toothbrush in his bag...lol.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals more regularly over the past 10yrs. I take care of a lot of animals from teammates on my rugby team and have since grown to their friends and families. I enjoy long walks, dog parks, and hanging outside with all the animals. I love sending updates and cute pictures of the animals! I currently work at Cincinnati children’s 3 days a week, but with flexibility that I can move shifts in order to get more time with the animals. The more notice the better I have a fenced in patio and mulched area. No other animals, but I do have a large crate if needed. I am also open to going to client homes for a walk or to stay the night.
“Susan and Steve kept our Archie for the weekend, and he had a wonderful time! They kept us updated with photos, and we really appreciate the care they gave him. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of our boy! Five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Teresa was great! Excellent communication throughout and flexible with drop off and pick up. Her little pup is also very sweet and Margot had a fun time playing. She came home a happy, tired girl. Wouldn't hesitate to book with Teresa 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.
93% of sitters in Johnsville 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 Johnsville 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 Johnsville.
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 Johnsville. On Rover:

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 Johnsville 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.
