“Samantha was terrific. She remained with my dog, Lenny, for two weeks. She sent me regular updates with photos and made sure my mind was at ease during the whole period. Most importantly, she actually lived here, instead of just sleeping here as some so-called house and pet sitters do. When I came home, Lenny was as calm and happy as when I left and the house looked great. I will happily use her again.”
“Aunya was fantastic. She made sure all four dogs were well taken care and even cleaned up as she left the house. She was very responsive and provided check-ins. I would definitely let her take care of my wild pack any time!”
“This was our third time booking someone through Rover and the first time I can say that I will absolutely rebook this sitter again. We have way more than only two dogs. There are horses, donkeys, cows, chickens, turkeys and two cats. Leaving home is never easy because it is so hard these days finding someone who I can trust to take care of them the way I do. I try to keep things natural and that means more work is involved. Ashlyn met my expectations and kept me posted on how things were going at home, which is so important to me. She was honest and even though we had a misunderstanding, I loved her way of thinking and working through issues that came up. I really don’t want to praise her too much because I like to keep her for myself ??. She is a wonderful young lady to work with who tries hard to meet her customers expectations. Rare find! Thank you, Ashlyn! May God bless and keep you.”
“Our dogs and our family loved Bethany. She put all our fears at ease, as we have never used a dog sitting service before. Scheduled a meet and greet before hand and was able to see personally that our dogs loved her as well as photos during her stay and updates. Our babies have a new best friend when Mom and Dad can’t be home. ❤️”
“We sure lucked out finding Khallida! We have 2 special needs cats (one doesn't have use of her back legs) and she not only was tuned into our cats needs, they were remarkable calm and content in her care. She had to administer meds to them and was able to do it despite the drama that our girls have over medication. She was very communicative throughout the pet sit and was great about sending photos and updates. We highly recommend Khallida and will definitely be using her again!”
“Emma was great staying at our house and watching our dogs and cat. She was very communicative and respectful of our home. Our babies were very comfortable and felt very loved with her.”
“Emely was wonderful, I would trust her with my dog any time. I loved getting the updates and photos of Lola, and knowing she was in good hands. Very happy with the care Emely provided and would definitely recommend her.”
“Reagan was the best! She is a good communicator, left the house the way she found it and my dog was very happy when we arrived. She also stayed a bit later because our flight was delayed so we didn’t have to worry about our dog being taken care of. I highly recommend Reagan!”
About: I'm the pet sitter I would like to have. While you are away or at work, they are my responsibility and I care for them like my own. My job is to keep people from feeling anxious or guilty and I do that by caring for their pets while keeping them involved and informed. * Serving Redstone Arsenal * Discount for pets in the County Line area. Rover fits with my lifestyle and I do it full-time. I have regular clients who need pet care while they work and I care for other pets whose people are out of town. Lately, I've been specializing in shy/fearful animals. I wear pheromones (the smell mamas make to tell puppies and kittens everything is okay) like a teenage boy wears Axe body spray. I bring special treats and music developed for pets using neuroscience. And we will take things at the pet's pace. I've done some creative things trying to get pets to eat or come back inside. Unless there is a medical or safety need, everything I do is reward-based and force-free.
About: I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to taking care of your babies, just know that they will have a fun time hanging out with me I can keep up the energy. Have had pets my whole life in my house and know how to meet their needs well, looking to break into the pet care scene to help raise some funds for college. I am a college student that works on campus through academic departments but my schedule is quite flexible since I don't have in person classes that often. Availability is generally Sunday afternoons, all-day Tuesdays, all-day Thursdays, mornings on Fridays, all-day Saturdays, but I can work with other times as needed. The most relevant pet experience that I have is taking care of my childhood dog Brodie for a lot of his life, that was my responsibility after getting back from school. And he lived until the ripe age of 17 so I'd say I did a pretty good job of keeping him safe, happy, and healthy.
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been working with them since I was a young teenager! Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience at a dog boarding facility, a veterinary clinic, and now full-time at a local animal shelter, caring for pets of all personalities and needs. Through fostering, I became even more familiar with cats, and at home, I share my life with two dogs and three cats. I’ve had several long-standing pet-sitting clients before moving to this area outside of Rover, and I love meeting new pets and building bonds with them. I’m confident administering medications and giving attentive, loving care to make sure your furry friends are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. If your pet has fur, I’ve got it covered! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work full-time, so I’m available for morning check-ins or walks before 8 AM and evening visits after 5 PM. On weekends, I’m wide open and happy to schedule drop-ins or walks based on what works best for you and your pet. I may also be able to accommodate a midday walk or check-in between 12 PM and 2 PM, depending on your location and your pet’s needs. I’m also available on government holidays, and I’m always happy to communicate and find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and well cared for! I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. I strive to make every interaction safe, fun, and fulfilling for the animal while respecting their individual needs and boundaries. On walks, I stay alert and attentive, ensuring pets remain safe at all times and calmly leaving any situation that makes them seem uncomfortable or stressed. During drop-in visits, I closely observe each pet’s overall well-being, including their behavior, energy level, and routine, and I will promptly report any concerns to the owner. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel secure and well cared for in their home or while out on walks.
“Ren was very thorough with taking down instructions and asked questions if she needed to. Our dogs, hamster, bearded dragon and tree frog were great when we got home and the house was too. Thanks, Ren!”
About: I’ve had a pet dog since I was 12. One of my favorite things is greeting an animal. Walking and litter boxes do not intimidate me! I work part time for a golf course and attend Athens State. My schedule is flexible. I don’t mind staying overnight if I am given a day to prepare. I like to tend to their restroom needs first, whether that is letting them out or cleaning the litter box first. Playing with animals is fun and good to get some energy out.
About: I truly love animals, and it shows in the way I care for them. I don’t just “watch” pets, I bond with them. I’m patient and energetic enough to keep active ones happy and engaged. I pride myself on being dependable and keeping owners updated with messages and photos. I currently work full time from 8 to 4:30 PM. Once I am off work I focus my attention on your fur babies making sure they get the energy out of going on a walk! I do not keep pets at my house due to having 3 dogs of my own. In your own home I will keep their routine consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions closely. I make sure pets feel secure in their familiar space while keeping everything tidy and respecting your home.
About: I have years of experience dog sitting through TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, sizes, and needs. I also spent a summer volunteering at a local animal shelter, which gave me experience working with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own animals. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant. I only work MIDS on Fridays (normally 12:30-8:30) and Sunday mornings. Any other days I have full flexibility. I always try to make pets feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I know every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I adjust my care to fit their needs. Some pets want lots of playtime and attention, while others prefer a calmer environment and space. I also make sure owners stay updated with pictures and messages so they can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away. I also tend to stay very close to the house. I like to stay with the animals.
About: I have a Great Dane lab mix she very energetic, loving, and playful with every animal. I have dog sat for friends and family I have experience in dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and fish. I have an open schedule I stay at home with my dog Gemini and I’m trying to get back into dog sitting and it would also be a plus because she loves making new friends. I live in an apartment. We have a fenced in dog play ground and I take my dog for walks I would take them for walks a well and Gemini get 1 Jr outside to do her business and play and she has a regular potty break every two hours some times it’s cut down on time if she hasn’t been feeling well.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maysville
Kimberlina was an absolute gem! I left my three dogs with Kimberlina while I was away, and she took such wonderful care of them. She kept them happy, active, and well-loved the entire time—they were all wagging tails and full of energy when I got home. She sent regular photos and videos throughout the stay, which meant the world to me whenever I was missing them; she always timed them perfectly and responded right away. On top of the great dog care, she went above and beyond by cleaning the house so thoroughly—it smelled fresh and amazing when I returned. Communication was excellent from start to finish, making the whole experience stress-free. Kimberlina is professional, caring, and truly reliable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much, Kimberlina! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Maysville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Maysville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Maysville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , 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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
