Dina was an amazing sitter for my 105 lbs. American Bulldog. She not only fed him and let him out to use the restroom, Dina spent quality time playing with Koda to make sure he was not lonely while we were out of town. I highly recommend Dina!

Kara was amazing! She kept us so well informed and took such good care of our babies. One of our dogs had a last minute change and needed medication given and she was super flexible and eager to help. We also have a crotchety old retired service dog and she took to Kara so so well. We will 100% be booking Kara again if we need it!

Angelee was great! She is very communicative, she sent us photos and videos of Savannah while we were away. Savannah is not the easiest cat to get along with, and she might be moody when she’s alone. But Angelee took her time to establish a connection with Savannah, play with her favorite toys, and make sure she was cared for. Thank you so much, Angelee! ✨

Jubilee came to our house on pretty short notice for a drop in visit. She was great with quick communication and provided updates with photos. We have 3 higher energy golden retrievers and they were very happy when we returned home. Would definitely recommend her and will be booking again in the future!

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was about 16 years old and have experience with all kinds of pups. From young puppies to small breeds, and even dogs much bigger than me! Family and friends have always trusted me to feed, walk, and bathe their dogs, and I truly enjoy making sure every pup feels loved, safe, and cared for. I am currently a senior at the University of Kentucky taking online courses, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I am available most days of the week at various times and would love to spend my time caring for and playing with your pups! Your pups safety and comfort are always my top priority. I am very attentive, reliable, and am always respectful of your home, making sure your dog is supervised, safe on walks, and given plenty of love and attention. I carefully follow all instructions, and make sure they feel calm and secure in their environment. You can always trust me to care of your pup, as I treat every dog like my own while keeping you updated so you have a peace of mind while you're away.

Catherine was excellent in every way! Had scheduled with her a little over a week in advance and then had my older pet pass away right before the trip—she was incredibly helpful at helping me edit the number of pets scheduled for her to drop-in on via the Rover site and was very kind about my loss. Professional, sent lots of pics, and my slow-to-warm-up cat snuggled with her!

Phillip was amazing with my kitty Scooter. He took care of her while I was away for a week and I was astonished at the magic that he worked on her. She is a sweet girl that can take some time to warm up to people, but he got her to play with him in no time. I will definitely be booking Phillip again the next time Scooter is in need of a sitter, and I highly recommend him for any other cat owners in the area.

About: I’ve had my cat, Hank (or my son, as I like to call him), for almost 6 years now. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and from a young age I was trusted with walking, feeding, and even administering medication to our senior dog. I’ve also cared for bunnies and other exotic animals—so if you have any special friends at home who need some extra love, I’m happy to help! I’m currently a student at UK and working a remote part-time internship on a campaign. I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays after 12pm, Wednesdays through Fridays before 3pm and after 5pm, and I’m very flexible on weekends. Let me know your pet’s routines or any special needs and I’m happy to adjust! This includes things like medications, reactivity on walks/with strangers, or anything else you think is important. I know how stressful it can be to be away from your pet, so I will be sure to treat your pet as if they’re my own! :)

About: The one thing dog owners will love about me is that i’ll treat their dog as if it were my own. I have a childhood dog & my own dog. Both since they were a puppy. The first one you’ll see is my own his name is Pablo who I currently have. He is turning 4 this year. As for the other one that is Hebrew who was my childhood dog who I took care growing up. He is turning 14 this year. I truly consider both of them my best friends. I am a student at the University of Kentucky. Since that is my first obligation I am only able to take travel and do personal in house care on Tues & Thursday nights and Friday-Sunday nights. I took care of dogs while I was in college in California through Rover. I love animals but more specific I love dogs and I know that with my experience of loving & taking care of my own dog, I will be able to do the same for yours if you let me. I go to college and work part time so I will be back and forth between there. That doesn’t take away from me taking care of dogs as I have one personally. I live in an apartment complex that has a dog park/area for them to play in. There is also a dog shower/cleaning area is they were to get dirty. Of course there is the dog trash bags and cans around as well.

Maranda is so sweet and takes the best care of my fur babies! They absolutely love her. She is very professional, communicative, responsible, thorough with questions and instructions, personable, and just so very caring. I have 5 pets and they are an energetic handful and she provided every single one with utmost care. She gave me detailed updates and let me know about all their playtimes. If there was a question or issue she let me know immediately and handled each situation professionally and excellently.

Ellie took great care of our cat while we were gone. She followed all instructions perfectly and, most importantly, ensured that our cat had company and lots of entertainment every time she visited. Her detailed Rover Card information and selection of photos provided peace of mind, and I appreciated the extra videos. I’d book Ellie again!

Matthew did an amazing job checking in on our dog, Wrigley! He was attentive, reliable, and made sure Wrigley got plenty of playtime and attention. It’s clear he truly cares about animals, and we felt completely at ease knowing Wrigley was in such good hands. Matthew is very trustworthy, and we would absolutely ask him to help again in the future. Highly recommend!
