“Andrew made our Bear feel welcome right away by playing with him and introducing him to his small dog, Lucky Bear. He had lots of room to play inside and was given regular walks. Andrew sent us pictures throughout Bear’s visit and our boy looked very happy. I appreciate Andrew’s quick and thoughtful responses to my text messages. We’d definitely use him again for watching Bear.”

About: Kayla: "I grew up with numerous horses, dogs and cats. I've worked at couple pet boarding hotels and the Lexington Humane Society, so I can make sure all of your pet's complex needs are met. I'm not a certified trainer, but I have a lot of experience training horses and dogs (you'd be surprised how much they have in common). More recently, I have been training our Aussie Bandit, which has been a challenging yet rewarding adventure. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement and have read numerous training/pet psychology books to be the best dog mom I can be." Brandon: "My family grew up with a Shiz-Tzu/Maltese mix. I have pet sit numerous of my friend's pet throughout college. Shortly after college, I rescued a dog (unknown pit mix), whom was my companion until Kayla and I met then he became our companion. We would go on walks, roller-blades, runs, and travel the country. If a dog could go on the adventure, he came along. His life was full of love, given and received, and we're ready to open our home to share that love with your dog." Together, we've been dog parents for 10+ years. Brandon works from home and is nearly always available. Pets are allowed on furniture, though not our bed. Snuggles are mandatory. Enrichment is available however your dog prefer: walks, runs, ball in the yard, socialization at the park, mental stimulation treat toys, you name it. Brandon works from home and can let dogs out as frequently as needed during the day. When we're both off work, we tend to do enriching activities with our dog. On weekends, we tend to stay close to home, or take our dog on enriching activities (farmers market, park play, walk) and are happy to bring your dog along if it makes sense to. We have a small fenced in yard, good for bathroom breaks and small play. No children in this house, and we keep the space generally clear for dogs to be able to run/move around. The couch is a fan-favorite for snugglers. We're nice and close to Masterson Station dog park, if your dog needs more space and/or likes to be social.

“Andrea and her family were fantastic! This was our first experience with Rover, and with Andrea. And she exceeded our expectations. She sent pictures to us everyday, while we were away. Which eased our minds. She treated our two dogs as if they were a part of her family. We would definitely recommend her. And we would love to have her puppy-sit again in the future!”

“Isabella was amazing!! I was so nervous and it was a last minute booking, but she made it easy. She sent daily update with pictures of him living his best life as requested. She communicated quickly and efficiently. I know Barley had a great time and was treated like royalty in her care which is all I ever want for my fur baby. We will for sure be using Isabella in the future.”

“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!”

About: We've owned and cared for dogs for over 35 years. Our first dogs were a Lab and a Golden Retriever then a Pug and a Puggle and now the parents of a Lab/Husky mix. We provide loving care with plenty of exercise in our non-smoking, fenced home. We live one block from Jacobson Park and its wonderful dog parks so rest assured your fur baby will receive plenty of attention, exercise, fun and love during its stay. I work from home and my spouse is a stay at home spouse, so we are available to provide constant care, exercise, play time and supervision for your fur baby. Whether is romping in the fenced yard or walks to the dog park, your furry friend will enjoy being part of the pack with our dog. Our fenced yard and quiet cul de sac on a golf course and located a block from 2 dog parks is a great place for your dog to stretch its legs and play to its heart's desire. During warmer times, we'll also spend a lot of time relaxing with your pet in our screened in deck in the back yard with access to our fenced in yard.

“We have a very spoiled doxie with some extra needs. We have extremely high standards on leaving him with anyone. (we worry about him being trouble and being safe). Having used Shawna in the past, she was the only one I trusted to keep him when I needed a recent surgery. Would definitely recommend and use her again. Gave good safe care, love, communication and was accommodating to any and all our requests and needs.”

Desha was very responsive and attentive. The dogs, especially the older one, really seemed to like her. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her and her family.

Desha took care of our 2 dogs for a couple of days while out of town and we are so thankful of the great care she provided! She was so communicative and sent photos of the happy pups at bedtime and morning. Her cute kids also gave the dogs a lot of affection and the dogs loved that! I hope to book with Desha again in the future!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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 .

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.
