“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!”
About: I've had one or more dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. I genuinely love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I enjoy spending my days playing, going on walks, and giving them the attention they deserve. I'm responsible, dependable, and home for most of the day, so your pet will receive plenty of supervision, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or curling up in bed for cuddles, I'm happy to make them feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I understand that every dog is unique, and I'll treat your pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make sure they're happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. As a college student, I have a very flexible schedule and don't have any other jobs, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. While I have classes throughout the day, they're spread out, so I'm able to come home between classes to let dogs out, take them for walks, play with them, and give them lots of attention. I spend most of my time at home, which means your pet won't be left alone for long periods. My schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day. I live in a spacious townhome with a fenced-in courtyard, giving dogs a safe outdoor space for potty breaks and fresh air. I also have a friendly 1½-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who absolutely loves other dogs. He primarily stays in my roommate's room, so if your dog prefers their own space or isn't interested in interacting with other dogs, it's easy to accommodate. I want every dog in my care to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. They're welcome on the furniture, on the couch, and even in bed if that's what they're used to at home. I believe keeping your dog's routine as consistent as possible helps them feel relaxed while you're away. I'm also an extremely clean and organized person, both in my own home and when caring for someone else's. Whether I'm watching your dog in my home or yours, I'll treat your space with the same respect and care that I would my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
“Alex and Martha are great! Communication is excellent. They spent a lot of time with our dog and she had a blast playing with their dog. We were worried about leaving her with a sitter for the first time but we had absolutely no issues at all. Will definitely use them again for our next trip!”
“Accommodated me on short notice. Nathan has strong attentiveness. Inquired about my preferences and if I had specific requests like wanting photos / my pups schedule in order to provide optimal care to him during their time together.”
“Jayde was amazing watching my dogs. She’s very caring for the pets and actually cares for them. She even watched them an extra night for me when an unexpected event happened. She’s great!!”
“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.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with two dogs and a horse currently. I work as a registered nurse but my alternate career path would’ve been veterinary medicine! One of my dogs is medically fragile so I am comfortable caring for dogs who require a little extra attention for their needs. I work full-time as a flight nurse but my schedule is incredibly flexible and I have whole weeks off at a time. During my on weeks, I have availability for drop-ins on the days that I am home. My goal is to take care of your animals the same way I would expect mine to be cared for, in an environment that they are comfortable in!
About: Hi! I’m Evelyn, a veterinary technician with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Caring for animals isn’t just my career—it’s something I truly love. Working in veterinary medicine has taught me how to recognize when pets are stressed, uncomfortable, or not feeling their best. Whether your pet needs medication, a fun walk, overnight companionship, or just a little extra patience, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know what makes them happiest. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and in caring, experienced hands. My schedule works well for pet care because I have a consistent full-time routine and a one-hour lunch break that often allows me to check in on pets or provide midday visits when needed. Outside of work, I love staying active through running and daily walks, so I enjoy keeping dogs happy and engaged while always matching the pace to each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week and on weekends. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, anxiety, and changes in behavior, but I also know that the best care often means helping pets feel relaxed, secure, and loved. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my friendly dog and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and supervision. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, medications, or crate training, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they’re doing.
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.
“Isabella was great!! She updated me appropriately and sent some super cute pics! Mango came back home happy and exhausted! Would definitely use Isabella’s services again!”
“Miranda is great! She took wonderful care of our dog, taking him on walks and playing with him outside. She sends pictures and updates throughput each day. Highly recommend Miranda.”
About: I love animals and have always been blessed to be able to care for them forming special bonds by giving lots of love and care! I am usually home 24/7 five days a week minus a few errands and would love to take care of your pets when you need! I have a two story home with pet safety gates and will play with your pet, give them cuddles, walks and homemade treats if you approve:)
“Regan was such a great sitter for our 12 year old pup! Communicative and friendly. You can tell she loves dogs. She’s very active and made sure Gypsy got lots of walks. I would definitely book with Regan again.”
About: I have had dogs for 46 years. I currently have three spayed female cocker spaniels that are 1.5, 3, and 3-years-old. They are very used to other dogs as we go to the dog park everyday. I lost my 12-year-old cocker spaniel to CHF. I know how important it is for medication to be given at exactly the right times at precisely the right amounts. I pay attention to detail, and make sure your dog is always safe. We go to the dog park everyday and can take any dog who is used to that environment and does well with others. I work from home with a flexible schedule. I am an early riser, and I will always be there when I say I will. Your dog will always be a priority. Beginning August 1st 2026 I'm available every day of the week. So long as the dogs are friendly and potty trained and are not destructive, they have full run of the house. Please no heavy shedders.
“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!”
“Ajax always has a great time staying with Kristin and her family!! He is well cared for, given tons of attention and has a great time playing with his new friends.”
About: We came across the Cavapoo breed as our loving Rottweiler was on his journey to his “better place”. We chose the Cavapoo breed as our furry rainbow puppy to help us all with the tough loss. Fast fwd 5 years, and WOW, still can’t believe the journey that was created for us. Dog breeding, training, boarding and grooming just the way I would want my pups taken care of…in a home. Our setup is ready for all stages of dogs and of course, personalities. This is a small family business and we make pet care fit seamlessly into our lives. We’re a party of 4 and all hands are always on deck. 4:00 am wake up call during the week and 6:00 am on weekends. Caring for pets in our home can consist of taking your pets normal routine that’s already established and following it. Help keep your animal on a schedule of food timing to crate or bedroom boarding. We live in a neighborhood with a 6 foot privacy fenced in back yard. A 3,000 gallon Koi pond surrounded by 800 square feet of deck. Nice plush outdoor furniture for the dogs to lounge next to the pond after a drink. We have also built a 200 square foot doggie palace on our property. Full electricity with heating/air and additional ceiling fan. Great for rainy days or dogs who are lone rangers and/or feisty.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Mount Vernon is $38
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Vernon
Kelsey did a great job watching our dog and cat while we were on vacation for a week. Her kitties are well socialized and had no issues with their house guests, even when the canine tried to engage in friendly games of feline chase! She was very responsive to messages and provided daily updates and pictures. Kelsey also administered daily medication with ease and accuracy. The biggest indicator of a great pet sitter is always how my fur babies act when we pick them up and get them home. Both my dog and cat returned well adjusted and happy. We will definitely reach out to Kelsey again for our pet sitting needs.
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!
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.
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!

There are 232 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Mount Vernon. About 97% of Mount Vernon sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
