About: Hi everyone, I’m Madeline! I am a WKU graduate, and am currently in grad school. I have had dogs, large and small, throughout my entire life. When you book with me, I guarantee your pet will be in great hands :) As I am currently in school, I’m completely free on the weekends, and every day after 4pm during the week days. I would be more than happy to help out during these times! I would love to give your pets plenty of attention and take them on walks as frequently as needed. I am very punctual and will make sure the job gets done.

About: Hello there! I am Allison. I’ve lived on a farm my whole life so animals is all I know! I have several dogs and cats of my own so I’m very familiar with animals and their own needs! Growing up my family gave me a dog to start out with so that I could learn responsibility and to learn what it took to take care of an animal, so I learned at a young age and I’ve been doing it every since! I don’t mind to travel to help out with your animals and give them the love they deserve while you are out and about. I also have a toddler who is wonderful with animals and she would love to meet yours! I work with animals all day, every day! The perks of living on a farm. I personally have five dogs that need love and attention. I like to follow instructions. The most important thing is keeping animals on their schedules/routines while on a trip or just visit. Love and compassion helps an animal from stressing unnecessarily.

About: Professional Care with a Nutritionist’s Touch Your Pet’s Wellness is My Business While many people on Rover are looking for a side gig, my entire professional life is built around the health and happiness of animals. As the owner and operator of Pet Wants Glasgow, I spend my days focusing on what makes pets thrive—from high-quality, slow-cooked nutrition to the importance of structured exercise. When I’m looking after your best friend, I’m bringing that same professional standard and specialized knowledge to your front door. Why I’m Different: Nutrition Expertise: I specialize in nutrient-dense diets and have a keen eye for dietary needs, allergies, and picky eater behaviors. Community Trusted: You may have seen me at Dennison’s Roadside Market or the Ace Hardware adoption events in Hart County, or at fundraisers in Bowling Green and Barren River State Park. I am a deeply rooted member of the community who believes in doing things right. Professional Reliability: Running a C-Corp means I value punctuality and communication. You’ll get consistent updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Hands-On Experience: I've been a dedicated pet parent to six dogs over my life and have worked with a variety of breeds and personalities from German Shepherds to Toy Poodles. The "Premium" Visit Experience: Tailored Approach: I adapt my pace to your pet’s specific energy level, whether they are a high-energy athlete or a senior who just wants a slow sniff around the yard. Wellness Focus: Every visit includes a quick check on behavior, energy, and coat health. A Special Perk: With your permission, I’m happy to include a sample of our premium, slow-cooked treats from Pet Wants for your pet to try! "I treat every visitor with the same focus on longevity and vitality that I give to my own. Your pet's health is my business—literally." Hello! I’m David. Friends and family know me as Dwain, and my life is dedicated to the health and happiness of animals. As the owner of Pet Wants Glasgow, I don't just "watch" pets—I advocate for their total wellness. Whether it’s a high-energy dog walk or a quiet cat check-in, I bring a level of professional oversight and nutritional expertise that most sitters can't offer. Professional Standards for Every Pet As the owner of a pet nutrition franchise and a C-Corporation, my approach to safety is built on professional accountability. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat my responsibility to them with the same level of care and organization I bring to my business operations. My Safety Protocols: Secure Transport: I use a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, which is well-equipped for safe pet transport in various weather conditions and terrain. Structured Interaction: I focus on "calm energy" and structured routines to ensure pets feel secure and unstressed, whether we are on a walk or a drop-in visit. Knowledgeable Oversight: My background in researching animal behavior, nutrition, and husbandry allows me to spot potential health or behavioral issues before they become problems. Community Accountability: Being a local business owner in Munfordville and Hart County means my reputation is my most valuable asset; you can trust that I will be there exactly when I say I will.

About: Hi, I'm Madison! I offer a safe and loving home environment for pets through daycare and boarding, and I'm also excited to provide board-and-train services as I work toward my training certification. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—I currently share my home with several of my own pets, have been dog sitting for many years, even as far back as elementary school! I also have experience training my own dogs, daycare dogs, as well as family and friends! I previously provided similar services in Wisconsin, and now that l've settled in Kentucky, I'm excited to be getting back into it here. After working at two dog daycares, l've seen firsthand that most dogs thrive so much better in a cozy home setting, and my goal is to create that comfortable space for them. Along with personalized care, I also provide enrichment activities, baths, and fun photo updates to keep you connected with your pet's stay. Since I'm getting back into offering these services locally, my pricing may be flexible-so feel free to reach out with questions. I'd love to meet your pup and welcome them into my home! I also accept other pets on a case-by-case bases! I have many pets of my own so care for them takes up most of the day & is something I am used to. I have physical health issues that makes it hard to work a full time job so spending time with your pup(s) is something I look forward to! :) -Will follow through with owners personal preferences and what is the safest/best for each dog . -Will give the pet the care they need, and send updates to the owner (if wanted)

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 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 .

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.
