“Kristen did an amazing job watching our dog Gunner... and he very much enjoyed her being there! She sent plenty of pics so that we could see how he was doing. We 100% will use Kristen again whenever we need a sitter. Thank you so much Kristen! ❤️”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of my own dog since we have got her, aswell as dog sitting for others, or doing pop in checks since I have been able to drive! I have taken care of dogs all sizes and ages! I am currently enrolled in classes at Murray State, however I am not in classes for longer than 2 hours everyday, so I have plenty of time every morning, afternoon, and night to care for animals or homes! I live in dorms at Murray State, so I am unable to bring any animals into my dorm. However I am more than able to drive to your home to care for your animals, whether it is walking them, feeding them, bathing them, or simply putting them in a crate for you!
“Madison came through for us last minute and we couldn’t be more grateful! She was incredibly responsive and flexible. We had limited cell service being out of the country for a week but we felt very assured having her in our home caring for Luna. Our neighbors gushed about her as well. We will definitely be reaching out in the future for any other care needs we may have!”
“I felt at ease while out of town because of how well Cassi took care of my two dogs. Cassi kept me informed with pictures and even left treats for them when I got home. I will definitely be using her again, my dogs miss her already!”

“Alyssen was great taking care of our dog. She was reliable and even took him for long walks a couple days. Stoppped in the day before to meet him and get the instructions for taking care of our pet.”
“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: 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.
“Great experience overall! He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and very nice to meet. Our home was well taken care of and left clean, and the pets were happy when we returned. Would definitely consider booking again.”
About: I’m a third-year veterinary technology student at Murray State. I have 4 years of hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Indianapolis. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, gaining experience with feeding, exercise, playgroups, basic grooming, and safe handling. I currently work at the facility seasonally when I return home to Indianapolis. I also have experience caring for cats and horses. I have my own cat, live with a roommate who has a cat and two horses, and over the summer I gained hands-on experience interning with horse rehabilitation. Through my veterinary technology education and hands-on animal care experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and overall well-being. I truly love working with animals and take pride in providing safe, attentive, and individualized care for every pet. My schedule as a student-athlete at Murray State is structured, which allows me to plan my pet-care responsibilities around my classes and track practices. I have morning practices and some afternoon practices throughout the week, with classes primarily in the middle of the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I don’t have classes on Tuesdays or Thursdays, giving me more flexibility to provide longer visits and more consistent care on those days. I’m very responsible with my time and would make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need while fitting their routine into my schedule. I take the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet very seriously. As a third-year veterinary technician student and someone with 4 years of experience working at a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, I’m comfortable recognizing different behaviors, handling animals safely, and paying attention to changes in their health or routine. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure pets are in a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while they’re in my care.
“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.”
“Ayla was so sweet and genuine with our cat Miso and us! This was our first time using Rover and she was very responsive to any questions and followed all instructions that were given! So glad to have someone trustworthy to watch over our special girl :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murray
Kristen was amazing. Like truly the best sitter I’ve ever had. It was the first time I’ve left my cat with someone and felt so completely at ease. She was on time, communicative, sent updates and pictures. Fed and took care of him to exact instructions. Went above and beyond in every way possible. I was nervous about having someone in my home, but she left everything as I left it (probably better in some cases). Great person to work with and will rebook without hesitation. Can’t say enough good things about this experience.
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
