“Julie was wonderful with our older girl, Nina. This was a last minute booking, as our local sitter in Va was unavailable to keep Nina while we travelled to Bardstown for the holiday. I contacted Julie before we had to leave home, and she was kind enough to fit her in. She contacted me daily with pics to let me know Nina had settled in nicely with her family and the other pups, and it gave me such peace of mind,.especially since this was our first experience with a new sitter. We will definitely request Julie’s boarding services again, since we visit Bardstown pretty frequently throughout the year. I could tell Nina felt right at home and that she was well loved while we were away.”



“Tina was absolutely fabulous! She communicated with me daily to let me know how my baby girl was doing and sent me pictures daily. Would recommend her a million times over!!”


“We were a bit reluctant to leave our 8 year old who can be unfriendly towards other dogs, along with our big foster puppy who we have only had a month. Scott took both dogs right away and had them all playing together within a few hours. He has a nice set up whether your dog needs lots of room to run around or a kennel to keep them safe. I would recommend him as a pet sitter.”


About: I've had a fur baby in my arms since I was a child. Not only did I raise my own, but I've kept my friends, my co-workers and my son's dogs while they were out of town, for a day, a week and sometimes longer. I cared for my son's senior boy while he worked, and then he brought the newest baby to me everyday she when she was a puppy, so she wasn't home alone and I could potty train her with love. I raised our German shepherd with my sons from the time she and my youngest were both just 8 weeks old. When Libby was almost 18 yo we had to have our vet assist her in crossing the rainbow bridge. From there I got my first tiny dog, a little boy named Dexter, Chihuahua 6.6 lbs, and then shortly after I got Danika, Chihuahua 5.5 lbs. They went everywhere with me, vacations, nail salon, shopping. They had a purse they loved to jump right in and 2 booster seats so they were secured safely in my car. I lost Dexter to heart disease at 14 yo and poor little Danika was lost without him. I adopted Lucylle, Chihuahua 6 lbs, she was 2 yo. She was left at the vet by her previous family, that never came back to get her. She was very aggressive towards everyone in the beginning and it took me 3 months of patience and love to bring her out of it. By that time her and Danika were best friends, and loving companions, of course they went everywhere with me. We lost Danika just few months ago, she was 16 yo. That's when I decided to start my journey with Rover, to bring some added joy into mine and Lucylle's life and give other fur babies a safe and loving place to visit when family were away. I retired 04-2024, Lucylle and I have plenty of time on our hands. I bought a patio home, with a nice fenced back yard, where I sit in the morning or anytime during the day/evening and watch Lucylle go out and do her business or just play. We take walks around the neighborhood or down at the walking trail. My neighbors are also dog lovers, they just love little Lucylle. I have a fenced back yard for them to play in with my girl, and I keep a watchful eye on them when they are outside. I can crate your baby if needed, as I do my own sometimes. I have little beds and/or a blanket for them to snuggle when they are napping. Being retired gives me plenty of time for your fur baby (and mine). Caring, playing and loving them as if they were my own.

“I have used Rover all over the country due to my work demand and she is absolutely the best one I have used for a long stay. She was very communicative throughout my pup’s stay. We didn’t have a meet and greet ahead of time so she slowly introduced each of her dogs to mine one by one, in which I appreciated, on the day of drop off. She cares about her animals and is in tune to all of their needs and personalities. She is 40 min out of my way and I will definitely drive out to her again!”


“Cristaylee provides great care and is responsive and professional. She is very flexible and accommodating with times and dates and has saved us a couple of times we have had to go out of town on short notice. Our dog looks forward to playing with her dogs in her large fenced back yard. She also provides updates and videos throughout the boarding. Highly recommend!”


“I CANNOT say enough good things about both Rick and his fiancé Annemarie! They were God-sent ANGELS for our wedding weekend! We were out of town - all of us were - and really needed someone who could keep Millie for us. Even though they stayed a half hour away, they were above-and-beyond accommodating, staying flexible with our schedule as things changed on our end. They came and picked her up from us, brought her back for rehearsal the same day so my nephew could practice walking her down the aisle, took her back home. They sent me pictures of her and their dog Buckley all throughout the weekend and she looked like she was having fun, getting good sleep and was comfortable. When Annemarie brought Millie to my wedding, she came dressed up to blend in with the other guests and I never heard Millie bark the whole time. She stayed around in the hot heat for pictures so Millie could be in a few pictures with us before taking her back to their home. Finally, they kept her through an extra day for us so we could have a little breather time before we had to pack everything up at our hotel room and head back home. We could not have made it through our wedding weekend without Annemarie and Rick's help. All of their story-sharing about what Millie was up to with Buckley all weekend was so nice to see intermittently as we were busy buzzing about doing our wedding activities. We are so GRATEFUL for everything they did and it's clear Millie was well taken care of and comfortable because she was so calm and relaxed when Rick returned her to us! Truly extra sweet! Thanks again for everything!”


“Jennifer completely put my mind at ease about boarding Gabi (for the first time). Very friendly and easy going. Sent me pictures of Gabi playing and pretty much being spoiled. I highly recommend Jennifer and I will definitely be a repeat customer.”


“Sarah and her family provided exceptional care of our Millie during her stay. It was the longest boarding we’ve ever had and were a little nervous to leave her but Sarah was reassuring and sent pictures to let us know she was okay.”


“Jessica took fantastic care of my girl - I was able to leave knowing she was in good hands and getting all the love and care she needed! So grateful to her whole family for caring for my baby. ?”


“Renee did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. She sent regular updates and pictures of them playing and having fun. I think one of our dogs is actually disappointed that we came back because he was having so much fun playing with the other dogs at Renee's house.”


“Lacy is great! She was tuned in to Bear’s needs and made accommodations to help him feel comfortable. I highly recommend recommend her to anyone who needs to board their pup in the E-town area!”


“Megan was great with our two beagle mixes. She sent updates and pictures and I felt very calm and at ease while we were away. She was very flexible when I had to change the plans multiple times and worked with us to accommodate all our needs.”


“With last minute notice, Kimberly was able to assist and watch Holly for the week. I do not think I have had a better dog sitter for boarding in the almost 12 years I have had Holly. You can tell Holly was happy to be with Kimberly! Thank you so much for the love and care you provided for Holly and the communication, knowledge, and professionalism with us. You are amazing, Kimberly!”


“Thank you so much for taking great care of my baby while I was away! I will definitely reach back out if I'm in need of a sitter again. It was nice not having to worry about him my entire trip. Loved the pictures and updates! Thanks again for giving him so much attention and loving!”


About: I have been taking care of pets for members in my church for years. I have also worked at a pet store that took care of and sold animals to their furever homes. I work full time and take care of my brother's dog as I go home from work and he is still working. I also spend time with people in my church that has pets that I love on a good portion of time I am there. I travel out of my way to take care of and love on pets. Dogs are my love language and cats are my spirit animal.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I’m here to give your pets the same love, attention, and respect they get at home. From long walks to quiet cuddle time, I follow your routine to keep them comfortable and content. I have had my own pets for 15+ years plus, different kinds of them. You can count on me for consistent, reliable, and loving care. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes, so you always know how your pet is doing. Safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I always provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routines, and any special needs they have whether it’s dietary restrictions, medications, or just needing extra cuddles and patience. I’m gentle, attentive, and always go at your pet’s pace, especially if they’re shy, anxious, or adjusting to a new situation. Clean water, a safe space, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection are always part of my care. I also give regular updates with photos and messages so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel confident, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, kept both of our dogs! They were out all weekend to the lakes! Kept me updated with pics and videos and anytime I checked in on them she made sure to update me!! We will definitely be using her!”

She took the time to ask about my dog’s habits, quirks, and favorite things, which meant a lot to me.
