About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. I also have experience caring for and walking friends’ dogs and am excited to expand that experience by helping more local dog owners! I’m active and love being outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a relaxed walk to a more active walk or run for dogs who need extra exercise. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, and I’ll make sure their time with me is safe, fun, and tailored to what they need. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! I’m a full-time student and also work part-time, but my schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for pet care! I have availability on different mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the day. I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit both your schedule and your dog’s routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will follow all instructions and routines provided, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any specific household rules. For walks and runs, I’ll always prioritize your dog’s safety by keeping them securely leashed, paying attention to their surroundings, and adjusting the pace and distance based on their age, energy level, and needs. I’ll also provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“I cannot say enough good things about the care Lynn and her brother provided for our sweet girl! I was so nervous to leave Louise for the first time since she’s still a puppy, but they immediately put my mind at ease. While we were away, Louise developed an upset tummy. Lynn kept us updated, fed her chicken and rice, and even offered to take her to the vet if needed. Thankfully, she was feeling much better in no time. As an obsessed dog mom, I really appreciated how knowledgeable, kind, and caring they both were. We loved all the adorable pictures and videos they sent, and it was clear Louise was treated like family. We will absolutely be back to Irene’s Just Like Home Pet Care. ❤️”

About: We've owned and cared for dogs for over 35 years. Our first dogs were a Lab and a Golden Retriever then a Pug and a Puggle and now the parents of a Lab/Husky mix. We provide loving care with plenty of exercise in our non-smoking, fenced home. We live one block from Jacobson Park and its wonderful dog parks so rest assured your fur baby will receive plenty of attention, exercise, fun and love during its stay. I work from home and my spouse is a stay at home spouse, so we are available to provide constant care, exercise, play time and supervision for your fur baby. Whether is romping in the fenced yard or walks to the dog park, your furry friend will enjoy being part of the pack with our dog. Our fenced yard and quiet cul de sac on a golf course and located a block from 2 dog parks is a great place for your dog to stretch its legs and play to its heart's desire. During warmer times, we'll also spend a lot of time relaxing with your pet in our screened in deck in the back yard with access to our fenced in yard.

Winnie did a great job again with my dog while I was out of town. He is clearly excited to be there and seems relaxed and happy when I pick him up. Winnie is always super flexible with pickup and drop off which I really appreciate. She sent pictures and update and I can always tell he's well taken care of. Thank you!!!

Tonisha had my pup for a week - he is a scared little guy with a few quirks! she was patient and kind, made sure he got along with her pups and gave me updates throughout on how he was doing, eating, sleeping, etc ! and even sent some pics ! I think he also enjoyed having the extra love and attention her family gave him when they were visiting ! Will definitely use her again !

Tania was great, she provided daily updates and made me feel very comfortable with leaving my dog there. She has a fenced in back yard and dog door that Zara learned to use after 14 years so she clearly enjoyed her time coming in and out with the other dogs. Will definitely book with her again.

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!

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 .

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
