About: About Me Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I do professionally. I own a pet-sitting business serving Central Kentucky. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable with multi-pet households, senior pets, animals with special routines, and pets who need a little extra patience to become comfortable with someone new. I’m also a lifelong animal owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust with your pets. I pay attention to the little things—changes in appetite, behavior, bathroom habits, mobility, or anything else that seems unusual—and I believe in keeping owners updated so they can relax while they’re away. What You Can Expect I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and care instructions, maintaining your pet’s normal routine, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime and companionship, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. I especially enjoy working with animals who may be shy, particular, anxious, or simply need time to decide that a new person is trustworthy. I don’t expect every pet to immediately love me—I’m happy to earn their trust at their pace. Safety & Communication Your pet’s safety comes first. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep a close eye on the animals in my care, and communicate promptly if I notice anything concerning. You’ll also receive updates so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s hands. My goal is for you to come home to happy animals who have been well cared for and whose normal routine has been disrupted as little as possible. Whether you have one spoiled house cat, an energetic dog, a senior who likes to take things slowly, or a whole household of four-legged family members, I’d be happy to care for them. Although I work as a substitute teacher, there are many days I am home part or all of the day. While I have a generic routine, I like to know the pets usual routine so I can cater to that as much as is possible. I have a small fenced yard, but most importantly, my apartment is set up with pet safety in mind. I have gates and latches to prevent accidental runners, my cat has her own space to keep away from other animals, I have the space and ability to separate dogs if needed. Ultimately I treat them like my own. They are welcome in my bed, have free run of the common areas, have lots of toys... I am always up for snuggles and fun!

Amber was very accommodating, and responsive and continued to give us updates as we requested. She made sure that all of my puppy needs were met and maintained the same schedule.

“I definitely wanna give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Dina, she has been super amazing. The moment I think about my Dog, I am already getting a text that she is doing exceptionally well. I was so nervous to drop off my puppy to a stranger. But Dina has made me and my wife worry free. I definitely recommend her, and I will 100 percent use her again for future pet sitting. Also the pictures she has sent me of my puppy every single day, has been nothing but amazing to see that my dog is doing so well. Thank you so so so much. I will recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hi! I’m Evelyn, a veterinary technician with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Caring for animals isn’t just my career—it’s something I truly love. Working in veterinary medicine has taught me how to recognize when pets are stressed, uncomfortable, or not feeling their best. Whether your pet needs medication, a fun walk, overnight companionship, or just a little extra patience, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know what makes them happiest. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and in caring, experienced hands. My schedule works well for pet care because I have a consistent full-time routine and a one-hour lunch break that often allows me to check in on pets or provide midday visits when needed. Outside of work, I love staying active through running and daily walks, so I enjoy keeping dogs happy and engaged while always matching the pace to each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week and on weekends. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, anxiety, and changes in behavior, but I also know that the best care often means helping pets feel relaxed, secure, and loved. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my friendly dog and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and supervision. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, medications, or crate training, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they’re doing.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have been passionate about keeping them happy and healthy! I love any kind of animal in any shape or size and am not intimidated by big dogs! I have lots of experience with large dogs especially since my family has always owned black labs. I am a student at UK studying Forestry and Wildlife Biology! I attend classes full time but I have full availability on weekends. I can work around my class schedule for drop-in visits and walks. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to play! There are currently no other pets in my home, so no need to worry about antisocial animals feeling stressed or territorial.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 5+ years. I grew up with dogs all my life. I also am a very good dog trainer and have paid to teach me the skills to train any dog at any age. I am a very active person. I go on runs daily and if you’re dog is less active I can do walks too. I am home most of the day other than my classes during the week which is around 2 hours a day. I have a yard without a fence and a house. For my training depending on what you would like I typically do 2-3 sessions a day during a board and train. If you want a few sessions with you I will walk you through some different training techniques. I can teach a dog anything while making it fun and engaging.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Kayden! She took excellent care of our three furbabies and was so sweet, kind, and attentive to them. She kept us updated throughout their stay and even sent pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your babies! We truly appreciate the love and care she showed them and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend Kayden to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Paint Lick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 198 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Paint Lick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

93% of sitters in Paint Lick can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Paint Lick 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 Paint Lick.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Paint Lick. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Paint Lick 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
