“We absolutely LOVE Heather. She has kept Lacey numerous times and we will book her 4 or 5 times, at least, next year. We travel a lot and do it knowing Lacey is so well taken care of. Lacey has her best friend Riley (Heather’s dog) that she loves to stay with. We can’t thank her enough. We can enjoy our trips and never worry about Lacey.”

“Dan gave the best accommodation for my golden. Very responsive and was also able to take him on very short notice. He had great time at her home and kids gave best playtime for him. She had updated the status and sent photos all day which I liked very much. I would definitely recommend her and also drop my golden in future.”

About: I grew up always being with dogs, and many other animals. Along with walking, running, or just playing with your dog(s) I can also help with training. I have experience with administering medications and am comfortable doing so. As an animal care professional I have 15 years of experience with animals. Not only can I care for your dog, but I can also care for your cats, birds, & fish. I can help with house training and basic behavior training for your pup. All sorts of pets are fun to care for! I am usually available in the evenings and early mornings. I can also house-sit any night of the week. Let me help you keep your pup, or other pet, at its happiest! Have a good day! Pets are great companions for us all. I can't wait to see my dog everyday and make sure he's living his best life which is just how I'd care for your pet. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for dogs to play. Our own dog is friendly and loves to hang with other dogs too.

“Unlike boarding facilities or vets' offices where he has stayed in in the past, Sprite was happy and content while with Arla and her family. Being an "only" dog, Sprite really enjoyed his social time with Charlie and Winston. I don't know who had a better time on their vacation; us or our dog! We will definitely use Arla again.”

“Tiffany was a perfect find for Daisy. Tiffany tries not to have multiple dogs at once, so Daisy fit into the family right away.”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I go to college out of state and miss my puppies from home and would love to help out and love on other peoples pets:) I am a full time college student but I am done with class at a reasonable time so I will still have time to make sure they get plenty of attention! I live in an apartment but I am able to take them outside easily. I have a big room if they need to be put in a crate and there’s lots of room for them to move around

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Port Royal 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 Port Royal.

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 Port Royal 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.
