“She was great with my puppies and wore them out. We needed someone last minute and she was perfect for it. There was good communication beginning with seeing if she could board to pictures during the stay. Great sitter!”

About: I was born loving dogs and cats! I am extremely attentive to their needs and always try to make them happy. I can assure you I will treat your dogs like my own and my dog is very spoiled. My home is one story and I live very close to a park. I would be happy to help you take care of your fur babies. I work Monday thru Friday and would love watching you fur baby on the weekends.

About: Hi! My name is Kaitlin, and I’m a huge animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old, and I currently have both a dog and a cat of my own who are treated like family. Because I’m a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring to look after your pets. I have experience with overnight pet sitting, dog walking, playtime, feeding routines, puppy training, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented, and I always make it a priority to follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully so both you and your pet feel at ease. I currently work part-time at a summer camp Monday through Friday from 9 AM–2 PM, which leaves me available for early morning, afternoon, evening, weekends, and overnight pet care. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, fresh water, and plenty of playtime and affection. For overnight, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and medications if needed.
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)

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.

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.

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: I’ve been working with dogs 5 years now, but they’ve been an essential part of my life since I was a child. Animals have always meant so much to me and working with them is the most fulfilling thing in my life. I will treat your animals as my own, and I am confident once you meet me (and my dog) you will have no anxiety about leaving your animals with me. I’m currently home bound recovering from a work injury, (dog grooming is an extreme sport) so I have a totally open schedule to accommodate anyone’s needs.

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.

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.
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.
