“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”
“Jeff did a great job walking our dog and provided ample updates—He also gave our cat some treats and provided a picture update of her as well! We will use Jeff again”
“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.

“Extremely grateful for Jordan!!! Jordan was able to help out with a last minute request to let my boys out & was still willing to assist in poor weather. Extremely trustworthy and a breeze to work with. Thank you!!”
“Kara was willing to work with my schedule when I desperately needed her last minute! She detailed what went on during her walk and took great care of my baby.”
“Tiffany is wonderful to work with -- communicative, prompt, reliable. I know Stevie really enjoys her time with Tiffany, and we look forward to many more walks in the future!”
“Joni is amazing! My dog has a lot of energy and Joni walks her daily. Joni is fantastic at communicating throughout the day and always makes an effort to ensure that both my dog and I are more than happy with how things are going.”
About: I’ve been providing excellent dog walking/sitting services for 5 years with neighbors and friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, throughout all ages. I’ve had over 15 dogs throughout my lifetime and they hold a special place in my heart! I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky and have classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. I’m available all day Monday and Wednesday. I have a loving and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog living with me and a fenced in dog park with obstacles to play on.

About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve had a cat for the last 8 years and I have had a dog for almost 2 years. I have experience giving cats and dogs medication as well as cleaning up after them. I love using Rover and wanted to return the favor. I work full time but I work from home two days a week and I’m available most weekends. I also tend to be available during some holidays. I have a puppy who loves new friends and is good with every dog he has met so far. I have a park right behind my house so it is easy to give your dog some exercise. If I’m in your home I’ll be sure to stick to your rules.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.
“Ariel did a great job! Lots of communication and attention to detail. Plus a get acquainted visit with Waldo to make sure they were a good fit!”
About: I provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has unique needs and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I can provide dependable pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I am a part time server and only have my schedule open for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for my serving job but don’t always work all 3 days. I can make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention and care. I communicate regularly with owners and am committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I maintain a clean environment, provide plenty of supervision, and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!!

About: We have had pets and been around animals our whole lives. We have years of professional pet sitting experience, and have worked for and volunteered with animal welfare, wildlife rescue, and farm animal rescue organizations. This has included fostering over 100 animals. We lost a beloved 15 year old pup last year who gave us plenty of senior care experience. We have flexible work from home jobs, so we have Monday-Friday availability for pet care services. We have regular evening commitments out of the house, but only for an hour or 2. Our weekends are usually flexible and open as well! We have a secure fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy time outside! We also have a crate available for high-anxiety dogs if needed. Cats staying with us will have their own room. We have two cats in our home that are dog friendly.
About: I have taken care of dogs of many different breeds and sizes for a couple of years now. Family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets as well as look after their house if needed! I am currently a student, so when I am not in school I have time to walk or take care of a dog during most of the week! I have lots of experience watching animals in their own home. I keep the house tidy and even cleaner than when I arrived. I make sure the animal always has plenty of food, fitness, and any other care requirements the dog may need!
Mount Vernon dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel has walked my dog, Roxy, maybe a dozen or so times now, and I could not be more thankful for her. She is kind, and gives my dog great experiences. I am so thankful to know someone that I trust completely with my pup, who has her best interest at heart. Thank you Miss Rachel!! Roxy loves you!!
Bailey was so happy to get to go on a walk today!! Since I've been working more lately, she hasn't had as many walks as I want her to, so I booked Angelee to help give her some exercise while I'm at work during the day and it went wonderfully! So thankful to have Angelee to help make my girl happier while I'm away!
We had a pet sitting emergency and needed someone to come by three times in one day. Joy was great with our pups. I was happy to see that her own dog, Copper, is an Australian Cattle Dog, so she understands demanding herding breeds like ours. Our guys were really well cared for and we returned home to find everything in order. Joy is easy to communicate with. She came to meet them in advance and was receptive to what we wanted. We would highly recommend her!!!
Lexee was so kind and patient with my nervous dog! While my dog was a little unsure of having someone new in the house, by the end he was feeling so much more comfortable. Lexee was very quick to respond to messages/requests, which was helpful because it is my first time using Rover. I definitely recommend Lexee as someone you can trust to help with your dog!
