“We are so grateful to Samantha for taking such good care of our dog Millie while we were out of town! Millie is shy and has some separation anxiety, and Samantha was patient and sweet to her. She was great at providing us pics and updates, and left us detailed notes on their time together. We will definitely use Samantha 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.”
“Sarah B. is simply AMAZING, Awesome, Extraordinary! Our four-year old poodle, Braxton has never been kenneled or left alone while we were away even a few days at a time. We recently traveled for over a week, and all of our extended family support was going with us! So, we contacted Sarah through Rover and all of our anxiety and concern evaporated at our first meet. Braxton climbed in her arms and cuddled like meeting an old friend. We were immediately set at ease and comfortable that we could turn our house and fur baby over for her protection. She is organized, smart, and most importantly, caring and comforting to dog and human alike. She kept us posted with lots of photos of walks, naps, play time with the hose, and cuddling on the couch. Communication from Europe was seamless, and every time we checked in, she was there to make us rest easy. We feel like we added a new member to our extended family, and you can be sure that we will hire her ANYTIME we need to leave home - even if only for a day. She could easily double her daily fee and would still be under paid for the value she brings. Peace of mind for your loved one while away is worth more than money! THANK YOU, SARAH - We love you wholeheartedly!”
“Angelica was great with our pups and our home. Excellent messages/updates/pictures. Walks were good exercise, not just a quick walk for them to pee. We’re looking forward to having her back.”
About: Alongside taking care of my own pets, I have three years of professional experience working with hundreds of dogs daily at a pet care facility. I have been professionally trained to handle feeding, bathing, and medications, including insulin injections and needles, while maintaining clear and professional communication with owners. I have experience handling dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to dogs in their golden years, as well as a wide range of sizes—from Chihuahuas weighing under 3 pounds to large Dalmatians and Rottweilers weighing well over 120 pounds. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my number one goal is to make sure your pet is well cared for, comfortable, and feels just as loved and secure as they would if you had never left. I am currently a full time student. My week is when I am busiest: Monday and Wednesday I am in class from 8am - 2pm. Tuesday and Thursday I am in class from 1pm - 4pm. I live in an apartment with a fairly strict pet policy so they cannot stay with me personally. Otherwise, I am more than willing to take care of a pet in your home, learn your routes and routines while getting by to know your beloved pet.
About: I’ve kept my grand dogs for years and have stayed overnight for several friends on multiple occasions . I have references that talk and bark 😁 I am retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay overnight and am usually available on weekends with advance notice. I love snuggles! I ask for an idea of what their day is like and try to follow it as much as possible. I have kept all ages and don’t mind giving medicine or potty training. I live going on walks also!
“Jeni is amazing! Super responsive, timely, organized, incredibly thoughtful about owner's needs and an amazing caretaker to my dog! I love that Jeni has her own questionnaire - it shows she understands and has thought through what will make her best at her care giving to someone's pet. She was very responsive and communicative when with my dog. She took great care of the house too. I have such confidence in her and am so comfortable - will absolutely use her again. Thank Jeni!”
“Another great experience! Highly communicative, home was well cared for and we look forward to booking for our third and fourth vacations shortly with Ashley. Don’t look to anyone else to watch your home and animals in the region she covers.”
About: Hi, I'm Paislee! 🐾 I've been caring for animals for over 4 years and truly love getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, alpacas, donkeys, and more. I've worked as a kennel technician and dog groomer, where I cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm dependable, patient, and committed to providing updates and photos throughout your pet's stay or visit so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I can also offer baths and nail trims for an upcharge just ask when you book!! 🤍 This is my only job so I will always have plenty of time to play with your fur babies and make sure they are well taken care of! I am available Monday-Sunday! Fun facts about me: I love to read, I am a military spouse, My favorite color is blue, and my favorite dog breeds are the big protective breeds!!! I will always make sure your baby has food and water and plenty of play time. I will send updates and pictures to ensure you see your baby is well taken care of!
“Debbie did a fantastic job taking care of my 4 dogs over the weekend. She was so personable, was excited to meet each dog, and lived on them like they were her own dogs. Debbie also took care of the house, straightened up prior to our return, and even washed the cloths I had left in the washer. I will definitely request Debbie next time I need a sitter.”
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.
“Marybella took care of my senior lab, Partner, while I went out of town for a few days. She is very sweet, communicated well with me, and followed the care instructions well. I would request her services again and recommend her to others.”
“Emily sat for me while I was on shift overnight and I think she did a great job! One of my kiddos needs help walking and she followed directions on how to help him when he needed it and stayed on contact with me throughout the visit. She even came back for a lunch time visit just to check on my babies which I really appreciated.”
About: I have changed my name since I started this profile several years ago, that is why my reviews say Emily and not my current name, Diem! I grew up in pet stores, as my mom worked in one from the time I was 4. I have had a love for animals as far back as I can remember and have had dogs my entire life. I have managed a grooming salon in the Huntsville/New Market area and have experience working as a receptionist at an animal clinic/hospital, a bather and front desk at a dog groomer and my younger sister is a Vet Tech who works at a city shelter so I have a lot of knowledge because of her, also! I have an adult Border Collie and 5 cats. I couldn’t see my life without the love from animals, and I look forward to getting to add your pets into my bundle of love!!! I am currently working a flexible schedule as a substitute teacher, so I’ve got a lot of time to spend with your fur children! I prefer not to bring your animals to my own home, for safety, because we have several cats but I will happily do in home visits.
“As all other pet owners have written, Christie does not disappoint! Super attentive to the animals and their needs, and going above and beyond the call of duty. Christie braved walking our crazy bark at everything that moves outside dog twice daily, Wow! Our home was well taken care of and we really appreciate everything Christie did to ensure our pets were safe and well cared for! Thank you so much, Christie! You are greatly appreciated 😻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
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.
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.
