“Could not have asked for a better first time Rover experience. Kassidy was able to make fast friends with our very nervous boy. She will be on our speed dial moving forward. I appreciate all of her daily updates and photos!”
“Luke did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs. He was reliable and on time. He showed a genuine interest in our pets. He cleaned up after the dogs and left things organized.”
“Neige watched our cats for the first time this last week and they seemed to do well while we were gone. Neige was good about sending me pictures and updates and when we arrived home everything was clean and we'll maintained in the cats' main area. She even checked in on them an unexpected extra day when our flight was canceled and we were delayed in our journey home. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I used to be a dog mom of a chihuahua terrier named Petunia before she passed to old age. I’ve taken care of both puppies and elderly dogs. I have helped administer medication to dogs. I work well with both small dogs and big dogs. I have taken care of massive dogs before (my aunt owns a Great Pyrenees). I have watched multiple friends and families dogs. I work well with playful dogs as well as calmer dogs that love to cuddle up. I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your beloved pets. Any days I have listed are my days off meaning I have more time to spend playing and loving your dogs! I always have some treats for my fur babies that I sit (I always double check to see any allergies pets may have before bringing treats over). If needed I have extra leashes and portable food and water bowls.
About: I have volunteered at Kentucky Humane Society, I have grown up with 2 cats and have a dog of my own. I have experience giving baths, cleaning ears, trimming nails, going on walks, applying first aid, and giving pills. I can give special attention for dogs (and cats) that need a little more attention <3 I am available most days. I have a very flexible schedule and can do multi day sits. I hope to give your pet lots of love and cuddles! I have had a lot of experience with animals and would love to give your animal the best care they can get! hope to see you soon :)
“Amanda has been a life saver for me and my special needs dog, Booker. Booker is extremely nervous and wary of strangers so finding a dog walker has always been a challenge. Amanda was willing to work with us and was patient and calm with Booker. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and was able to earn Booker’s trust within a week. Now she is able to come daily and walk him while I work 12 hr shifts. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone needing drop in visits or walks for their pets. Friendly and professional.”

“I really appreciate Savannah and have asked her to be my cat sitter in the future! Savannah is kind and considerate and did a great job watching my cats when I was away. She sent me pictures of my kitties, like I asked for, and she appraised me of their behavior when I was gone. I have confidence in her and I am happy that she is watching my babies when I am away. I have only positive things to say about her! ??⬛”
About: From the time I was a baby, there has never been a moment where my family did not have any animals in the home, and my love for animals I inherited from my grandpa. I knew when I had my own home, I would also have pets. After adopting my sweet fur babies, finding a reliable and trusting pet sitter was the most important thing, and having the assurance that they were being loved on and taking care of the same way that I do was the utmost importance. After some time and consideration, I thought I could offer my services as a pet sitter and the same love and caring for other animals that I have for mine, as well as offering the peace of mind pet parents need when trusting another to watch their beloved pets. I have personal experience with different breeds of dogs from big to small as well as cats, and have had animals from puppy/kitten stage to old age. My Fila girl completed 4 levels of training at Tri-State K9 University as her background was unknown when I fostered (and later adopted her), but though her behavior it was clear she had been through a rough time and suffered from fear and anxiety. With patience, love, and training she blossomed out of her shell and out came the sweet, playful girl I knew she truly was. I know some animals need extra care and handling in order to trust someone, which is why I know having the best pet sitter is so important and want to bring my love, experience, and patience to you and your beloved pets. I am mostly available early mornings and evening, but I am willing to work with you to find the best schedule to care for your animal(s). My sweet Fila can be picky with her canine friends, so I will not be able to provide services in my home but I am happy to take your dog on walks around your neighborhood, a nearby park, and play a game of fetch (or whatever your animal prefers) in your yard. I also have a wonderful fiance and stepchildren who would also love to help provide extra love and hugs to your animal(s) if allowed.
About: I’m a middle school teacher first, but I’ve had dogs all my life and have been dogsitting for the past five years through word of mouth and friend recommendations. I started then and loved it, so thought I would expand by joining Rover! We are a pet-loving family who loves having animals as “extra family” in our homes to give their own family peace of mind while they are at work or traveling. During the summer break, I’m available during the day, nights, and weekends. During the school year I am only available for overnight and weekend sitting. We have a large fenced in yard and a friend-loving golden retriever and a really big 2 year old helper. Pets kept in our home are treated just like our pets. Some of our clients even pile up in our bed! We want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible with us as it can already be stressful being separated from family.
About: I've had pets of all kinds, the basic, cat or dog, and even fish. Also have had more exotic pets; rabbits, ducks, birds, ferret, etc! I've done years of research on pets and I'm very reliable when it comes to caring for pets, caring for your pet, I will consider and treat it as if it was my own! I adore animals with all my heart! I'm currently completely available until I get a second job, probably part time so I can help & keep your pets needs met & provide the care for your furry family member whenever it's needed! I do not live on my own currently so that’s something I can possibly offer in the future! However, I have 4 cats & a sweet little mutt dog aswell :) any pet will be cared & treated as my own!
“Madisyn did great. We have 2 shepherds and and a pomsky and they love her. Super friendly and respectful. We had a meet and greet before hand and the dogs were quick to warm up to her definitely using her again”
About: I’ve taken a year long course at Liberty K-9 in Hawsville, KY, learning how to teach and instruct dogs. I love them. Dogs are interesting and intelligent creatures. And each has their own personality. Let me care for your dog the way I would care for my own. I am currently a stay at home mother of two school aged children. And I have copious amounts of availability. And I am very flexible and willing to work around schedules. We have a two story home with a fenced in back yard. Lots of room to run around and play. I also have big couches for lazy dogs and warm beds with kiddos who love dogs. We also have a guest room for dogs that prefer not sharing a bed with a kiddo. We have a dachshund for a playmate. We have kennels for average and large size dogs. And I have a pass for the bathing station at pet supplies plus for all the bathing needs.
About: I love all dogs! Growing up my family always had dogs! I’ve had lots of practice taking care of different breeds of dogs. I have experience dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family’s pets! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to fit taking care of sweet pups into my schedule! My mornings are completely free! I have experience with dogs so entering a clients home I will be very gentle with the pup at first until they warm up! I will make sure they are fed, taken out to use the bathroom, and given lots of attention.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I mean…aren’t they better than most humans?? I’m a certified dog groomer who ran my own business for many years. I’m capable of giving medications etc. Words that would best describe me would be reliable, caring, nurturing, responsible, and dog obsessed. Let’s meet! 🐶 I’m currently going to be taking care of fur kids full time so please give me a chance to help you and yours out. 💗 Open availability at this time. I’m currently not offering in home daycare at my house but am happy to discuss your pets needs and wants in the comfort of your home. 🐶
About: I have 6+ years of professional pet care experience. I have training in administering medication, bathing, nail trims, and teeth cleaning. I adore all pets and have personally owned dogs, fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and ducks! I have also taken care of cats, parrots/parakeets, and sheep. I have experience taking care of animals ages 8 weeks all the way up to 20 years! I am available 7 out of 7 days of the week! I get how chaotic life can be! That’s why my scheduling times are flexible to meet your and your pets needs. Safety is the top priority! My services and activities will be customized to the outdoor conditions (too hot or too cold = shorter walks outside and more indoor play time). As a pet parent, my house stays pet proof: no loose wires, batteries, sharp objects, etc. I have a 6ft privacy fence and use no chemicals in the yard. I am certified in animal first aid and CPR.
Rome cat parents share their Rover experiences
Kassidy is very punctual, professional and takes her visits seriously. From my observation, she treated my fur babies as if they were her own. She is a very caring person! I so enjoyed having her in my home and was able to enjoy my trip much more relaxed knowing my babies were being taken care of. Kassidy also spent time with them getting to know each fur baby, and not just dropped in to do what was expected then left! In fact, I am getting ready to rebook her again for a future excursion! Thanks Kassidy so much!
