“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”
“Brent is a good person and a great dog sitter. Maple and Mozzie's (Brent's dog) first meeting went great. They played very well together. The day we dropped off Maple at Brent's home, he and his wife were very friendly and inviting with us and our dog Maple. They explained everything involved with Maple's stay and activities in their home. He kept us updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely recommend Brent and Rover to other pet owners.”
“The pups seem to have had a great time getting spoiled! We got plenty of updates on how they were doing during the stay, which helped immensely! They commonly get upset/stressed with traditional boarding, so this was a great alternative. Would recommend!”
“Emily took wonderful care of Mora, she has a great fenced backyard and sent us pictures, Mora had a great time, will definitely have her take care of our dog in the future, highly recommended”
“Great experience! I was recommended by a friend and I will say I am so glad I trusted her to leave my baby with her! She sent so many pictures and gave me updates while I was traveling! Definitely helped ease my nerves. I’ve never left my girl behind. I know my baby had a great time and the fact that she got to socialize and meet other dogs was even better! Thank you so much Ann!”
“Erin and her family gave Jimi the love he's used to and I could tell Jimi was comfortable in their house when I picked him up. He ate well right from the start with his foster family, which is usually not the norm. Jimi will be staying with Erin again if needed and she's available. Jon”
“Maggie is sweet! Our dog seemed to have a great time with her, her dog, and cats. Her dog took a bit of time to warm up to our dog, but it seemed they became good friends shortly thereafter.”
“We could tell our pup was in good hands with Kelsey. She sent me detailed updates daily and pictures too. Our dog is not the best eater and she worked with her to be sure she ate. She also took our pup for walks and played with her. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our pup while we were away!”
“Our dog Remy (1.5 year Shetland Sheepdog) had an overnight stay with Sandra. She took very good care of him and we believe he enjoyed his stay and her very large fenced in back yard. Sandra sent us delightful pictures and videos of Remy while we were away and this gave us peace of mind that he was doing well. Sandra was responsive to our requests and communication was good. We are likely to board with Sandra again.”
“Audrey and Samuel are amazing they always take great care of my pups! Our dogs are a handful but they love having them and the dogs always get so excited when we turn down their street!”
About: As a dog owner and foster, I have experience caring for senior dogs, nervous rescues, and multiple dogs at once. I prioritize individualized care, patience, and creating a stress-free environment. I work from home full-time, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship so pets feel safe and comfortable. I believe consistency is important for pets, so I follow their established routine for meals, walks, exercise, and rest. I provide attentive care, patience, and an stress-free environment while making sure owners stay updated. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and two senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.
“Nancy was great! Communication was perfect and my dog was instantly comfortable with her. I felt like my dog was very well taken care of and had the best time.I definitely will be booking with Nancy again.”
About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“Haley made me feel so safe leaving my dog with a stranger. I was updated with pictures and activity through the day and it made it so relieving.”
“Martha was fantastic! This was my first time leaving my dogs over night and Martha made me feel at ease that they were having a great time. She sent me regular photos and videos and got back to me quickly every time I reached out. My dogs were at ease and happy to see me when I got there, but I could tell they felt at home with her and her husband!! Thank you so much.”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time staying with Ana and her dog, Mia. Ana was an excellent sitter very accommodating, communicative, and easy to work with. We felt completely at ease and would happily book with her again.”
“We always love a sit with Kristin and her family. Oreo can't wait to get there and is always exhausted when she comes home - and I know it's from all the playtime she gets there. She is so well taken care of. I highly recommend Kristin and her family for your pets!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Nicholasville
If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, I can't recommend Kathryn highly enough! While I was away on a mission trip, Oreo stayed with her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. Kathryn is incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about every dog she watches. One of my favorite parts of the experience was receiving daily photos of Oreo. Seeing her happy, relaxed, and having fun made being away from her so much easier and reassured me that she was receiving exceptional care. When I picked Oreo up, it was obvious she had been well loved and well cared for. She truly enjoyed her time with Kathryn, and I know she'll be excited to stay with her again in the future. If you're searching for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter, Kathryn is simply the best. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Oreo. We are so grateful for everything you did!

96% of Nicholasville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Nicholasville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nicholasville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Nicholasville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Nicholasville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
