“Cannot say enough great things! Millie was taken excellent care of and enjoyed being there. I receive many pictures and videos and was comfortable my pup was in good hands, I will definitely be booking with Gabrielle again!”

“Daniel and his family were great with Kallie. She was able to get a lot of play time in to tire her out for our long drive home. Daniel was very friendly and I'm glad he was able to care for Kallie. ”

“Destinee and her husband took my dog at the last second after another sitter backed out 30 minutes before I was to drop him off. Not only did they help me out in a pinch, but they were absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of my dog. I will 100% use them again in the future.”

About: I'm Sean, a lifelong dog owner offering Boarding and Doggy Day Care. I work from home full time in Oldham County, steps away from great dog walks along the Ohio River. Your dog gets supervised attention all day, long outdoor walks, in a friendly and fun environment for dogs of any age, breed or size. I lost my dog of 14 years in early 2026 and I'm channeling that love into caring for yours. Taking good care of your pet allows me to do something I truly enjoy while giving you peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am available full-time and every dog is unique, so you can expect that I will tailor each day to your pet's age, energy level, personality, exercise requirements, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. Mornings will include an early morning potty break and outdoor time, breakfast according to your dog's normal feeding schedule, a walk, play session, or quiet outdoor exploration depending on your dog's preferences. There will be plenty of attention and companionship as the day begins. Throughout the day there will be multiple supervised outdoor breaks in the spacious yard and surrounding dog friendly areas. This will include long walks, short walks, play sessions, or relaxation time based on your dog's needs. Fresh water will be available at all times. There will be frequent interaction, supervision, and companionship since I work from home and there will also be comfortable indoor rest periods between activities. Afternoons and evenings will include additional outdoor exercise and activities, dinner according to your dog's established routine, relaxation time indoors with plenty of attention and affection, evening potty breaks and if necessary a walk before bedtime. Individualized care is important for your dog's well being, so before your dog's stay, I will learn about feeding schedules and dietary restrictions, medication requirements, favorite activities and exercise preferences, commands and training cues your dog responds to, sleeping habits and comfort needs and any special routines that will help your dog feel at home. My goal is to maintain as much of your dog's normal routine as possible. During your pets stay your dog will enjoy exercise, companionship, and personalized care. Long walks and adventure or a relaxed day of lounging and affection await so your pet will feel right at home. For safety, dogs are always walked on leash. I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet, either in person or by video call, so you can feel completely comfortable before booking.
“First time using Kelsey for our pet sitter! She was great with both of my fur babies. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up time. I also liked that she wanted to do a meet and greet before sitting them. No other sitter on Rover has requested or said anything about doing that. Kelsey also provided updates throughout Tink and Trig's stay. I highly recommend her for pet sitting needs!”

About: I grew up always being with dogs, and many other animals. Along with walking, running, or just playing with your dog(s) I can also help with training. I have experience with administering medications and am comfortable doing so. As an animal care professional I have 15 years of experience with animals. Not only can I care for your dog, but I can also care for your cats, birds, & fish. I can help with house training and basic behavior training for your pup. All sorts of pets are fun to care for! I am usually available in the evenings and early mornings. I can also house-sit any night of the week. Let me help you keep your pup, or other pet, at its happiest! Have a good day! Pets are great companions for us all. I can't wait to see my dog everyday and make sure he's living his best life which is just how I'd care for your pet. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to play. Our own dog is friendly and loves to hang with other dogs too.
“Jim and Lisa were great. They were very willing to set u p a meet and greet for us and we booked a stay that day. Our Irish Wolfhound had a great time staying with them and truly was treated like family.”

“Lilli was great communicating with us regarding Penny. We were out of cell network, so some photos and updates didn't work, but with some extra efforts, Lilli was able to let us know that she and Penny were doing fine, and she managed to send photos despite the setback. We will rebook with her when we have need of sitter!”

“We needed to leave our dog for a week and were very happy with the care and attention he received at Savanah’s house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Savanah and would happily have our dog stay at her house again!”

“Stephanie was wonderful watching our dog for the week. I could tell she was loved and cared for just like she would’ve been at home. She was played with and treated like a part of their family. We will definitely use Stephanie again to board our dog!”

“Samantha was absolutely amazing with my cat! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly truly cares about animals. I received updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind, and I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and everything well cared for. I would absolutely book with Samantha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. Thank you again, Samantha!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child, but have had my 3 cats for 13 years now. I recently moved, so I let them live with my mom sadly, I do miss them. Outside of my cats, I have helped walk and care for other dogs the past few years. If you give special instructions on how you would like for me to care for your dog/cat, I will do exactly that since I will be coming to your place and/or walking them. UPDATED AS OF 6/16/26- for now please refer to this update until life gets less busy. I have a 2 year old so I cannot watch your animals at your home at this current time, but I would still love to drop in and take care of them through the day or take them on walks. I can care for them at my home also. The hours listed below are still correct 😊 I work Monday-Friday until 3:30pm, but I can also come before work, take my lunch to let your pups out for a potty break half way through my shift! I always am off on the holidays. I do have every Saturday and Sunday completely free. After 3:30pm on the weekdays I have the entire day to spend with your animals :) I will follow all your instructions you give me for caring for your animals. I will always treat them like I would my own animals!
“Keisha did a great job taking care of our Louie. You can tell she truly enjoys taking care of him and he loves being there. He gets so much attention and love. She sends regular updates, which I appreciate. She takes the time to play with him and treats him like one of her own. We will be using Keisha again!”


About: I have always had pets in my life from dogs and cats all the way to smaller mammals to large farm animals. I live on 2 acres with my husband and 4 kids ( oldest being 15 and youngest being 6). We have 2 dogs ( an older pitbull mixed and young Labrador) of our own and 1 cat. We also have a very large fish tank with 3 large fish. Part of my property is fenced off with cattle fencing but the fencing is not directly connected to the house to your dogs will be walked on leash to and from fenced area or just let out on leash. Dogs will be let multiple times a day. Dogs must be crate trained for night time. (Some exceptions might be made)For any extra kitty friends we have a basement that would keep them separated from our own cat. Im currently a stay at home mom dealing with some medical issues and unable to work outside the home. Im home most of the time to be with your furry family I do have fenced yard but fenced isn't connected to house so your fur babies will be walked to and from fence on leash or just walked on leash. Both our dogs are very dog friendly and they both love to play fetch. Your kitty will have own space from our dogs and cat but will still get loved on and to snuggle with someone as my oldest son is in our basement.
“I highly recommend Sarah to board and care for your pet. She provided excellent care and follow up regarding our Corgi during our vacation away. She sent pictures and updates throughout our time away. She was flexible on pickup time. I felt so much at ease from the beginning! This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so happy to have found Sarah and her precious family! Thank you!”


“I was so nervous to leave my puppy but after meeting Shelby, I knew he was in great hands. She sent us daily photos and our little guy was so well taken care of. I will absolutely use Shelby again! Highly recommend! 10/10! ⭐️”
