About: Hello! I’m Tara, and animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I competed in eventing through my mid-twenties—so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. My significant other, Mike, and I work together as a team to provide attentive, 1:1 in-home boarding with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate special routines and needs (senior care, medications, shy/anxious pups, or high-energy dogs who need extra play and structure). Tell me what helps your dog feel safest and happiest, and we’ll tailor their care to match. I work in childcare part time and Mike is a gig worker with a very flexible schedule. We work together to give your dog the benefit of in person care. Regular business hours are preferred but not mandatory. We strived to meet your dog care needs and requirements while giving your babies all the love and attention they deserve. We may ask a lot of questions but the more we know, the better we can customize the care for your dog. We have a nice size yard with. We also have a large deck for lounging.

I’ve cared for everything from tiny kittens and small pups to the biggest, high-energy dogs. Whether it’s a quick afternoon walk or a cozy overnight stay, your furry friend is in great hands with me! I take your specific, detailed care instructions seriously. No routine or rule is ever overlooked! From strict feeding times and meds to fetch in the backyard, I make sure your pet gets the exact care they need and all the love they deserve while you're away. I am a stay-at-home mama of two little but now have the opportunity to earn additional income through activities I genuinely enjoy. Prior to relocating, I gained experience in pet sitting, volunteering at animal shelters, dog walking, and fostering various animals. With your detailed care instructions that will be followed precisely and excellent care provided for your pet, you can be confident that your pet will feel safe.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have always had pets of my own. While I haven’t worked professionally with animals before, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, along with 3 hamsters and a bunny. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for multiple animals with different personalities and needs. I can feed, walk, bathe, play with, and give plenty of attention to your pets, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine or instructions you have for them. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away! 🐶🐱💕 I’m an independent contractor with Walmart Spark, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Since I’m not tied to a typical 9–5 work schedule, I’m able to work around your schedule and be available when you need me. I can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, walks, and visits, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both of us! I currently only offer pet care in the client’s home. I think pets are usually most comfortable staying in their own environment, where they know their surroundings and can stick to their normal routine. I’m happy to care for all kinds of pets and will follow your instructions to make sure they get everything they need, whether that’s feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, or anything else. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pets are doing well!

“There are never enough words! We were so lucky to have such quality care from Destiny. In a time when we truly needed the most for our two babies. She made sure that our girls got the best care and we got so lucky to receive so many great images of our babies having fun on their midday walks. 10/10 Destiny is your go-to call for 5 star care!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 355 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Kentucky. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Kentucky. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Kentucky after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kentucky. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
