“Tara was very good dog sitting for us. She was very communicative and loving with our pets. She sent us updates daily with pictures on how things were going. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog family in her hands while we traveled for two weeks. I would recommend her to any one needing a pet sitter.”
“I’m so thankful I found Natalie! Our dogs are pretty easy, but trying to find someone who will cuddle and play with them can sometimes be challenging. She played fetch with our active pup and had snuggle time with the more needy pup. Sent updates and pictures which I loved. When we got home they both were relaxed, and I could tell they had lots of play time and were well taken care of. So happy I found someone like Natalie that cares for our pups as much as we do.”
“We had such an amazing experience with Amanda! She followed all of our instructions perfectly and took incredible care of our cat, Marley. We felt at ease the entire time knowing he was in such good hands. She sent tons of updates and photos, which we really appreciated. She even went above and beyond by bringing our packages inside and putting our trash bin back! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!”
About: Hi everyone, I’m Bree! I provide reliable, fun, loving care for dogs/cats in a safe home environment in Murray. Pet care is my full-time job and focus, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including energetic puppies and sweet senior pups who may need a little extra patience and care. Whether your dog enjoys running around the yard, going on walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I adjust their routine to match what they’re used to at home so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I’m available throughout the week for my services and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is my main focus, so I am able to give dogs plenty of attention, outdoor time, and supervision throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. All potty breaks and playtime are supervised, and I carefully monitor interactions to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I always try to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and at home. My focus is on providing a calm, safe environment where every dog gets plenty of attention and care.
About: Dogs are the way to my heart. I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, now called SEMO pets. Training is one of my favorite things to do, besides playing. I have experience with giving medicine to fur babies. I currently work part time so my schedule is for the most part pretty flexible. Rarely am I ever on vacation or far from home. I will feed, water, administer medications if needed, play, train, clean up any messes made, give all the attention they want. I treat all animals as if they were my own.
About: I bring a strong veterinary background to my pet-sitting services. I graduated from Murray State with a degree in Veterinary Technology and currently work as a technician at Westside Veterinary Clinic, where I’ve gained three years of hands-on experience in professional animal care. Because of my clinical training, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs—including puppies, seniors, and pets requiring medication or special monitoring. I also live just two minutes away from Westside Veterinary Clinic, allowing me quick access to medical attention if ever needed. Along with my medical skills, I have previous pet-sitting experience and a genuine love for making animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own homes. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, both at home and at work. I work full-time at Westside Veterinary Clinic on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, with Thursdays off. Even on my workdays, I come home during my hour-long lunch break to check in, let pets outside, and make sure everyone is comfortable. Because I work in a veterinary environment, I also have the flexibility to bring animals with me to the clinic if needed, ensuring they are safe, supervised, and never left alone for long periods. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day and week. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they are welcomed into a safe, calm, and well-supervised environment. I have two friendly, well-trained Australian Shepherds who enjoy meeting new animals. For everyone’s safety and comfort, my dogs are crated whenever I’m not home, ensuring that guest pets can relax without any stress or unsupervised interactions. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, including their feeding routine, exercise requirements, medication, and any special instructions from their owner. I introduce pets slowly and thoughtfully, monitor their comfort levels, and make sure they always have their own space, enrichment, and downtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their established routine and maintain a clean, secure environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own—offering consistency, compassion, and attentive care. My goal is to create a safe, trustworthy, and positive experience for both pets and their owners.
“Steve and I, Mary were visiting the area from out of town for a wedding, and Keydan set up a ZOOM call for a meet and greet so we could get acquainted, and she could meet our little dog, Ebony. I chose her because she lived in Hopkinsville KY will be in the area. We told Kaydan we would need her to stay in our hotel at the Holiday Inn and gave her the address. When we needed her Kaydan came promptly and took care of Ebony and we told her to keep Ebony not barking. 6/27/2025 we needed to go to Nashville for the rehearsal dinner and came back to our hotel and walked Kaydan to her car. Kaydan came back 6/28/2025 for the 4:30 wedding. We were home around 9:15 and took her to her car. Kaydan sent us pictures that I appreciated. I was so obvious that Ebony had a good relationship with Ebony and kept he from barking. She took Ebony out to pee or poop. Before we let for the rehearsal dinner, we let the front know about Kaydan to able buy food or drink and bill to our room. Kaydan provided excellent care of Ebony. Kaydan is loving, delightful, thoughtful, kind, caring, compassionate, warm, tender and loves dogs. Thank so much Kaydan for taking such great care of Ebony!”
“Emma arrived promptly. Asked pet specific questions. Sent pictures each time. She cared for our 7 week old puppy while we attended my son’s wedding events. We were more than pleased. Would not hesitate to call her again. Amazing service!”
About: I’ve grown up in a dog prominent household and have looked after all kinds of dogs. One of my dogs being a mastiff so I’m pretty well equipped to handle larger dogs! I also have a corgi so I’m able to handle pretty much anything. I’ve also dog walked and sat for multiple people over the years one being a constant when I am home from school. While I do have dogs none of them are here with me at school. I’m currently a student at Murray State University and am apart of a sorority outside of that I have tons of open time! I’m super flexible and can work with your schedule! I’m completely available after 1pm. I am able to care for pets in clients home and am very reliable and punctual. I can work with clients on times that best fit when they need a sitter!
About: I've had pets since I was very young. I started taking care of friends pets and my own since I was 15. I currently have 5 dogs, 8 cats, multiple rats, and 2 ball pythons. I currently work full time but am able to care for your pets in the afternoon and on Fridays and Saturdays. I can also take time off to care for your fur babies if given ample time to ask off or find coverage for my job. I currently cannot do anything in the home I live in as it's not mine and there are too many animals living here, however I am able to care for your pets in your home as I would my own. I respect boundaries from pet parents and will always do things within the rules and boundaries told to me when caring for your fur babies.
About: While I do not currently own a dog, I have had dogs since I was 4, and been responsible for them since around 12. I know how to read their body language and engage with them in ways that respect their needs and boundaries! I have over 100 hours of vet internships! While it is now lapsed I also had an AVA designation, and it's only lapsed because I've been focused on a degree in wildlife biology at school. Around the age of 16 I took over complete care of my dogs, including my elderly dog. I brought them to their first vet appointments, payed their vet bills, made important decisions regarding surgery and care, and insured their food was good quality. I can give medication and take temperature on both dogs and cats. I have lots of experience In reading body language and know when to step away and when to engage. I also have extensive experience in reptile care! Overall I'm responsible, engaged, and respectful of both my pets and others pets. I take health very seriously and can follow instructions to a T. I am currently attending Murray State University and am looking to bolster my income while enjoying all the perks of caring for animals! It isn't all about the money. I do genuinely adore visiting and connecting to pets and I know the struggle it can be to find someone you trust to leave your pet to! I'm hear to be a trustworthy adult you can rely on. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your little one alone as a pet owner myself. I have to travel often for boat races as I'm on my schools rowing team, and I don't know what I would do without my closest friends! I'm here for you and your pet, always! Currently I have one pet, my cat bandit. He's my first pet as an adult and I did all the research, adopting processes, and recourse gathering myself! He's fed on a 3 meal cycle throughout the day and his food is based on extensive research into a cats dietary needs and restrictions. I am very strict about his treatment. His boundaries are to always be respected and he's always handled with care! Absolutely no throwing/tossing him, no hitting, no shoving. If he doesn't want to be held he doesn't get held, if he wants space he gets space. He's the king of our castle. Others pets are shown this same level of respect from me. I take feeding guidelines very seriously and understand the importance of play and stimulation In keeping a critter happy and healthy.
“Whitney did an awesome job with my dogs they loved her. She walked them alot, stayed with them, kept the place clean, and had no problem doing a couple things to keep my trailer pipes from freezing, leaving water dripping and keeping heater near pipes running till it warmed up. She sent videos and pictures of the dogs to lete know they were doing good..she's very trustworthy and caring with the animals. I would definitely have her back in the future.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. From big dogs to small dogs with all types of personalities! I have experience with dogs staying with me, and house/dog sitting for others. My work gives me a lot of flexibility to give them time and attention where they won’t need to be left alone for long periods of time. I work from home so I have no issues with feeding times, potty breaks, or play time. My job isn’t too strenuous so I will never be in a position where I can’t give them the attention they need. I have a good sized yard in a quiet neighborhood for walks. They can hangout on the couch with me, and i let them sleep wherever they’d like, I know each dog has its own personality
“Since the last time using rover, my gf and I were unsure about giving it another try. Ayla was so good to keep us updated on our kids. And if that wasn’t enough to urge you to book her; she even brought in our pkgs from outside so they wouldn’t sit on the porch and refrigerated the ones that needed to be kept cool. On top of that she washed the bedding which she slept on and left us next to nothing to do when we got home except unpack. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murray
We can’t imagine leaving our three cats with anyone else when we travel! Amanda makes being out of town completely stress-free because we know they’re getting the best care possible. She always goes above and beyond and keeps us updated with plenty of pictures, which we love. One of our cats is usually very shy around people, but absolutely adores Amanda—which says everything you need to know about her. Not only is she the best cat sitter we could ask for, but she’s also an incredibly kind and thoughtful person. She even surprised our cats with a gift! 🥹❤️ We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Murray on Rover is $27.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 35 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Murray. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Murray walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Murray maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Murray choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
