“Emily took wonderful care of Mora, she has a great fenced backyard and sent us pictures, Mora had a great time, will definitely have her take care of our dog in the future, highly recommended”
“Brent is a good person and a great dog sitter. Maple and Mozzie's (Brent's dog) first meeting went great. They played very well together. The day we dropped off Maple at Brent's home, he and his wife were very friendly and inviting with us and our dog Maple. They explained everything involved with Maple's stay and activities in their home. He kept us updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely recommend Brent and Rover to other pet owners.”
“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”
“Valerie was excellent! She took great of our dog, sent regular updates, and managed his eye condition well. An added bonus is her sweet dog Ollie who was great company for our dog and kept him at ease.”
“Erin is great! She sent me updates every day and pictures of my dog. She responds promptly to all messages. She is very kind and caring person. My dog was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend Erin.”
“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
“My dog really enjoyed his time and was well taken care of when I had to book a Rover on short notice. Received many photos and Maria was very good about reaching out in a timely manner with any questions or concerns!”
“John was an amazing sitter who kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and updates, even when we couldn’t be as responsive. He offered Teddy healthy treats on the regular and treated him like his own. Five stars! We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future sitting needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5+ years. I grew up with dogs all my life. I also am a very good dog trainer and have paid to teach me the skills to train any dog at any age. I am a very active person. I go on runs daily and if you’re dog is less active I can do walks too. I am home most of the day other than my classes during the week which is around 2 hours a day. I have a yard without a fence and a house. For my training depending on what you would like I typically do 2-3 sessions a day during a board and train. If you want a few sessions with you I will walk you through some different training techniques. I can teach a dog anything while making it fun and engaging.
“Ana was great with my Maltese/shih Tzu. This is the first time she’s stayed with anyone more than two days, so we (me & dog) were both a little nervous for this weeklong stay. But Ana sent me a picture and video so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I’ll definitely use her again. Very pleased!”
“Martha was fantastic! This was my first time leaving my dogs over night and Martha made me feel at ease that they were having a great time. She sent me regular photos and videos and got back to me quickly every time I reached out. My dogs were at ease and happy to see me when I got there, but I could tell they felt at home with her and her husband!! Thank you so much.”
“Megan takes such good care of Sophie! Sophie is on more meds now that she’s older and Megan is so good about asking any questions and keeping up with the medication chart. We were unable to fly home after the Caribbean air space was shut down and Megan kept Sophie even longer until we returned. We appreciated it so much. We will definitely book with Megan again!”
“This was my fourth time taking Duncan to Kath & Jordan and as always, they took great care of him! He always looks so happy in the pictures they send me :)”
“We were visiting from TN, and this was our dog’s first stay with Haley. Nala had a great time and we felt very comfortable leaving her there. Haley kept us updated every day with messages and pictures.”
“Andrew made our Bear feel welcome right away by playing with him and introducing him to his small dog, Lucky Bear. He had lots of room to play inside and was given regular walks. Andrew sent us pictures throughout Bear’s visit and our boy looked very happy. I appreciate Andrew’s quick and thoughtful responses to my text messages. We’d definitely use him again for watching Bear.”
“Communication and understanding and ability to accommodate on the fly was outstanding. Nova came back to me happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone and will definitely rebook.”
“She is now my first choice when choosing a sitter. My dog is friendly, but she really took to Aubreyanna right away. Every time I checked in she was immediately available and I didn't have to worry. Top notch service!”

She was wonderful to communicate with and made the whole process easy. I think I had just as much separation anxiety as my two pets did, but they were happy, well cared for, and doing great when I got back. I’ll definitely be using her again, especially for longer trips!

From the moment we met Tania, she was friendly and welcoming. She introduced Molly to her pets and the layout of her home and fenced-in yard. Molly had to learn to use the Dog Door and did so While away, Tania sent photos and videos of Molly enjoying herself. It is clear that Tania cares deeply for pets. Molly had a wonderful time, and we will look forward to using Tania again.
Mingo had a great stay! She took wonderful care of him, and it was clear he was happy and well looked after the entire time. Even though we didn’t have phone service and couldn’t communicate during the stay, everything went smoothly and we felt confident he was in good hands. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave him. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Mount Vernon sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Mount Vernon landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon.
Tip: 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 Mount Vernon 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.
