About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I can’t imagine life without them! My family has had everything from Great Danes to 2lb Yorkies. I currently have a Great Pyrenees Chocolate Lab puppy under a year old. I’m experienced in senior care and special needs/medication giving. I’ve given pills and liquid medications. I have even assisted with under the skin medication administration. I’ve had an old baby that I had to prepare special food for due to kidney failure requiring a special diet. I’ve had a deaf and partially blind weenie dog. My family dog passed away at 17 years old and was deaf, blind, and required special care. I took in a 15 year old pup with cancer and heart failure that required close monitoring, medications, and special care. I had a pitbull who had a trauma issue and separation anxiety that required special care. All of this to say, I’m not one to shy away from any furbaby! Special needs, senior care, small breed, big breed, I will work with you on whatever you and your furbabies need! I also have two cats myself and am willing to watch cats. I’ve had kittens to old cats and love them all! I would love to care for your babies in whatever capacity you need! I currently work Monday through Friday. I’m available to care for your babies any day of the week before and after work. I may not be available during the entire day, but I will still do everything I can to give your pet(s) all the love and attention they deserve! I normally run errands with my pets, so I’m used to having dogs with me 24/7 if you’re okay with your pet(s) getting out and about a little bit. I can watch your pets at your home for their comfort. I want them to feel safe and cared for while you’re away, whether it be out for the evening or away overnight. I’ll love and care for them just as much as I do my own.
About: Hi, I'm Kayla! I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience with puppies and kittens (also bottle babies), senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection! Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, drop-in care, medication, or just some extra love while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable! I currently have times everyday that I can do dog walks/check ins! Luckily my schedule is usually a quite flexible one, so just let me know what you need and I know I can fit you in! I can do whatever needed! From potty breaks, walks, feeding, even just some attention so your fur babies don't get lonely:) Puzzle treats and lick mats are a great way to decompress after play and walks, so I do enjoy implementing those into the schedule!
About: I have had pets for as far back as I can remember. Growing up, we always had dogs. However, over the past 5 years, I have discovered that I am a crazy cat lady. Luckily, there is room in my heart for every kind of animal. From snakes to capybaras, I love them all! Currently, I have open availability. I am open to all types of pets and services. I would prefer at least a one day notice. However, I do accept same-day bookings. I am a very trustworthy woman with good morals and integrity. I will respect your home and pets as my own. I have a small suv to transport pets to the dog park and wherever may be desired. I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once and for long distances.
About: I grew up in a household where there was always animals around. I also helped my stepmom at her veterinarian clinic during the summer - so I’ve had experience around all types of animals. I am an outside salesman that makes my own schedule so as long as I have a day or two notice I can fit just about anyone in my schedule at any time. I can offer every service on this platform from boarding to walking your dog. I have a trail behind my apartment building that is great for walking dogs. I also live less than a mile away from three different parks. I can flex my schedule to fit any needs necessary.
About: Your pet will be loved on and cared for. They will relax inside our home on the comfy couch and watch shows like Paw Patrol and Secret Life of Pets. We are available throughout the week and on weekends and major holidays. Our schedules can be adjusted to fit the needs of our clients. We are flexible and can work around your schedule. Our passion is to make your fur baby happy! Safety is paramount and we will spoil and love on your fur child as if they are our own. The goal of our service is to provide the least amount of disruption to your pet as possible. Your pet will never be left alone in my care. Attention all fur kids! This is the place to go when mom and or dad are away ❤️🐾 I currently work from home so your fur baby will be with me the entire time. We will have so much fun together. They will stay inside my home during their visit. When your fur baby is with us they become a part of our family. We involve them fully in our daily life. They will love it here.
“Kristen was AMAZING with my dogs! She was super attentive to them and BEYOND understanding when it came to my older pets and their needs! She kept in contact and sent regular pictures and updates! Will definitely book again! Thank you so much!”
About: Experienced in 25 years with all domesticated animals from bottle feeding to senior care. I have raised and rehabilitated lots of animals. I have a lot of experience at rehabilitating wildlife as well. I stay in contact with local shelters, vets, and sanctuaries. Caring for your pet is my full-time job! Being home also allows me to spend much needed time with your pet, especially if separation anxiety is an issue. I will take multiple pets from the same owner. I want your pal(s) to have the best experience at our home. One of my three dogs are crate trained and I have experience with crate training if your dog is used to a crate upon leaving or at night. I have a separate large room that I have always used for my own dogs in case they need to be put up a while upon leaving briefly. If your little guy or gal is shy, no worries I have all the patience needed for that. If he/she wants to stay away from the others, I have a separate large room (with Dog TV for noise.) My dogs love watching dog TV, and maybe yours will too. If your pal follows a strict schedule, it would not be a problem to accommodate, even administering medications.
About: Luxury boutique pet sitting for when you are traveling or busy and your best furry friends need all the snuggling, playing & running they can get! Like an Airbnb for you dog (or cat or fish or chinchilla). I am available most of the time during the week and all the time on the weekends. I have a flexible schedule and can customize to meet your needs. I have a triple-fenced yard complete with a dog run and a pen for small dogs to have their own private area, tons of space, private living quarters with private entrance and lots of flexibility to make your travel stress-free.
“Madison came through for us last minute and we couldn’t be more grateful! She was incredibly responsive and flexible. We had limited cell service being out of the country for a week but we felt very assured having her in our home caring for Luna. Our neighbors gushed about her as well. We will definitely be reaching out in the future for any other care needs we may have!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I absolutely love my babies. I really love getting to spend time with animals, and even getting to take care of them! I work part time at a cleaning company so I have plenty of time to look after your babies! The only times I ever need is Sundays for church! I go by all of the house rules and feeding plans, and if it is needed, all of the cleaning needed while I am there!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Paducah
Becca was an absolute lifesaver for our dog while we were out of town. Our sweet girl has cancer, so we were especially worried about leaving her behind. Becca made sure she kept eating, which was a huge relief, and she sent regular updates that kept us connected and at ease the whole time. Her care and compassion meant everything to us, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Sammy was amazing from the get go with our communication, to her loving care of our lil’ sweet Abby (1.5 yr old Shih Tzu), to the care of our house, all the way up to the time of our arrival back home. Her delightful personality brought flexibility, commitment, thoroughness and fun. We give her a 10++++ rating for it all. What stood out most was her passion and compassion in caring for Abby. It seemed like they bonded instantly and we knew we were leaving her in an ideal situation. We strongly recommend her to care for other pets and we will definitely rely on her in the future to care for Abby.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Paducah walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Paducah maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Paducah choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
