“Ryan and his family took excellent care of Jinks while we were away for my daughter's wedding. I've boarded mine with a kennel 1 time before and NEVER AGAIN. Since then I have 2 friends who take care of him but this time they were at the wedding with me. I was scared to let my baby stay with someone I didn't know. I saw a recommendation for Ryan in the OWLS Facebook group, checked him out by reviews and messages then booked his stay. From the moment we walked in, you can tell this family loves animals. They sent me pictures and texts to let me know he was doing good. I'll definitely use Ryan and his family again. Thank you for making this nervous mom feel good about leaving her baby while I was away.”
“My little dog loved Katie and her family! They took excellent care of him during the Kentucky Fried Pickin event at the Holiday Inn in Owensboro. We feel very happy now that we have such a high quality place to board our dog during music events in Owensboro. We will definitely be booking with this wonderful family again!”
“Nathalie did a terrific job with our fur baby Zoey. She sent us a few pictures then everyday sent us a text on how she was doing. She even came and pick her up and then dropped her back off when we got home. We will use her again.”
“So happy with my dog’s stay at Jordan’s. She was very attentive and showed that she really cared about my dog while he was in her care. She sent lots of photos and kept me up to date. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, and always had pets in my home! I am a huge huge animal lover! We currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 bearded dragons, chickens, ducks and rabbits. We love all animals! I have been a Stay at Home Mom since my girls were born. Now that they are older, I’m looking for new things to do that I enjoy, and can still be around for my family when they need me. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs run and play in, a detached garage with an attachment. Inside the attachment there is a couch, TV, AC, and heat, with plenty of room to run around and play! It makes a nice little hang out spot. We come out here to play and run around at times. There is also a security camera in the attachment as well. Dog must be potty trained, and good with other dogs and cats. Please be honest, so it won’t cause conflict while taking care of your baby and others. If we take care of larger dogs, they will stay in the attachment and not in the house.
“We left our two dogs with Amber over Christmas and things went just great! Its easy to miss your furbabies over the holidays, but Amber sent so many pupdates and pics that we felt really good about leaving them with her. Her love for animals really shows and she made the dogs feel at home. One of our dogs is a little apprehensive before he gives his trust and by the end of the weekend, Amber and he were besties! Aside from how great she is with the dogs, she also is a very good communicator and flexible with drop on/offs. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Our mini-schnauzers are always happy to visit Lynana, and are happy when they return home. No attitude! Lynana is easy to talk to and always happy to meet our needs on the day or our boys' stay. We couldn't manage without her ability to help us when we have last minute need for care. Thank you, Lynana!”
“Shelley was great with my babies. The dogs had a fantastic time at her home, she took them to a nearby park for a walk and to play. We can not thank her enough for making our babies a part of her family while we were away.”
“Michelle is amazing, not only a great person and loves dogs, very down to earth, she is very responsive, gives great updates with pictures so you can see how your babies are doing. She has the sweetest little Yorkie for a playmate. She was willing to keep your exercise and feeding routine going to the best of her ability. We absolutely loved her and will be using her services again.”
About: Dogs have always been part of my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was young. I’m trustworthy and focused on keeping your pet comfortable and safe. I am unemployed so I'm free all weekdays. I do go out on weekends though, but can still care for your pet when needed. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. They are very playful and good with other animals. I also have a house with a fenced in yard.
“We are so happy we boarded our dog with Nick while we went to Holiday World! He's an anxious little dog and really doesn't like kennels, so we tried rover.com for the first time. Staying with Nick was like having our dog stay with a friend. It's obvious he likes dogs, and he has a calming presence. He also sent us lots of updates and pictures and videos. Normally when we pick our dog up after a visit away from us he acts all upset with us, but he was fine and happy this time. We highly recommend Nick!”
“Debbie and her furry family was wonderful with Max. Lucy, Zoie, and Harley were great companions during his visit. Debbie provided plenty of updates with pictures and a video of Max playing and simply chillin in the house. Debbie truly loves animals.”
“Our pup was so well taken care of! We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands while we were out of town. Deb and family looked after our dog as if she was their own. Highly recommend!”
“Me and Luna were made to feel extremely comfortable with this being our first time apart. If I text to check on her I immediately got a response. I will definitely use the sitter again. Thank you so much.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Owensboro on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 47 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Owensboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Owensboro 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 Owensboro.
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 Owensboro 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.
