“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”
“Jessica is great! My old dog is a bit needy and she was so sweet, meeting him where he’s at and not complaining about giving him extra attention. My kids and I all loved that she sent daily updates with photos. We will definitely check in with Jessica next time we need a sitter!”
“Alycia was great! Our dog Murphy enjoyed his stay and we got great communication the entire time. Will definitely be booking again next time we need to leave town!”
“Kim was amazing with Ollie! She sent photos and updates throughout the stay, so we always knew he was happy and taken care of. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about your pup.”
“This was our first time with Dana and Jason, who were great. We were very comfortable with leaving Ellie there overnight. Dana sent pictures and gave us updates. We will be using them again in July.”
“Megan and David were great with my frenchie! Their dog, Harvey, had a blast with my dog as well and I was able to go on vacation with peace of mind knowing that she was well cared for. We will book again!”
“My two labs love spending the day at Tricia’s. I was so grateful when she agreed to board them over the holiday weekend. They had a great time, as usual; and I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free.”
“Avery took great care of Teddy when I went out of town and I never had to worried about him as I knew he was in great care. She was very flexible when I had a last minute scheduled change which I really appreciated. Teddy would love to go back anytime we need a sitter! Thank you!”
“I would undoubtedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog! Her communication was excellent both before and during the stay (she sent daily updates and pictures of Piper!) Piper was so well taken care of! She loved the walks Jenny took her on! I was nervous using Rover for the first time but now know I have someone reliable to care for Piper when we’re away!”
“Such a great sitter!!! Nancy was fantastic with our senior pupp, Domino. Her communication was fantastic, and he kept us fully updated with pictures during his stay. We look forward to booking Nancy to care for Domi during our future travels!”
“Abbie was so great! She did a very thorough meet and greet with my dog and hers so make sure everyone got along before I left. She kept me very updated with pictures and videos which was much appreciated. Maui was well taken care of and loved, and left me with total peace of mind while traveling. Cannot recommend Abbie more, and will be using her again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Rebecca and the way she cares for our boys. They run to her when they see her walk out the front door and you can tell from her daily pictures that they are comfortable and happy. She communicates regularly and informs us of any concerns. I think the best compliment I can give is that we can enjoy our trips without worrying about them because we know they are in great hands. She’s the best.”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
“Hailey is an excellent representation of Rover. She was there when I needed her on short notice, and I think my dog (Rogue) had a blast! Very easy to communicate with too. I’ll use her again for my next Rover need!”
“Elisheba and her family took Ember in and were very kind. Thank you for the hospitality and the great care at a last minute notice. Ember loved the yard and enjoyed having extra people to play with her, it takes a village!”
“Paige and Steve and their family were wonderful in caring for Mango! They provided regular updates and quick responses. Mango had the best time running around and playing with the kids. I would highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to book again.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mentor home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Mentor.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Mentor sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
