“Amanda was wonderful to have check on our boys. She communicated when she was headed over and we had no issues. Very professional, you can tell she has experience handling fur babies. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future.”
“Courtney was an absolute doll! I was so nervous leaving my pets for 10 days while we were on a cruise but Courtney was in constant contact with me 3 times a day, sending pictures and updates. She even went overboard to make friends with my skittish cat, who she won over after a few days! I highly recommend her. She was kind, gentle and patient with my pets and we will definitely be using her services again for our next vacation. Thank you Courtney for loving on Diesel and Danté. ❤️”
“We left the Country for two weeks and Madison came home to take care of our 4 pets. She did all the instructions given and was so careful and lovely to our babies. We are totally satisfied of her job, it has been so efficient and good. We recommend her to the people who have to leave their pets under care of pets' services. We are very thankful with Madison R.”
About: Hi!! My name is Gabby. I have been a full time Vet Assistant for 3 years. I am currently studying to become a Certified Tech & I have 2 fur babies of my own. I’m excited to get to know your four legged babies!!💛 🐾 I have always had a love for cats and dogs! I currently work as a vet assistant. I have worked with animals previously at an animal shelter. I have two pets and a fenced in yard. I do have a pet of my own, she is crate trained and house trained. She is very energetic and loves to play.
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kentucky
Michelle is AMAZING! During our meet & great we talked for hours as she got to know us & my dogs, it felt like I was talking with an old friend. Unfortunately I'd lost my 14yr old dog prior to us leaving the country. I felt at ease knowing that my sweet baby was getting special attention after losing my dog. She sent several pictures & videos with every visit! In every picture my baby was happy & receiving so much attention. She also was so kind to bring in all my mail. I definitely recommend Michelle & will have her take care of my furry baby anytime!
Absolutely! If this is for a Rover review, I’d make it more focused on the service she provides: Michelle has been helping care for my little dog for the past three years, and I cannot recommend her enough. There have been many times when I’ve needed help at the last minute, and she has always been willing to step in and help out. She is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I trust her completely—not only with my dog, but with my home as well. Knowing my dog is with Michelle gives me total peace of mind. My little dog absolutely loves her, and I am so grateful for the care, attention, and kindness she provides every time. If you’re looking for someone dependable and caring to watch your pet, Michelle is the best. She truly has been a lifesaver for me and my furry friend! ❤️🐾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kentucky is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 384 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kentucky. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kentucky. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
