“Jennifer M was awesome with my dogs Zoe. Zoe was very comfortable in Jennifer’s home and around her family. Zoe ate well at Jennifer‘s home. When it was time for Zoe to go, she whimpered to go back as we drove away. That just showed me that Zoe was extremely comfortable and well loved while she stayed with Jennifer and her family for more than a day. Jennifer did a fantastic job of sending me pictures and communicating about how Zoe was doing throughout the day. I am very grateful to Jennifer and her family for treating Zoe like one of their own. I have already booked another stay with Jennifer and her family for Zoe”

About: I have over 30 years of pet care experience, taking care of puppies and kittens through senior dogs and cats. I don’t have children and consider my pets my children! You will have no worries while you are away from them. I have been there and understand what it’s like to be away from my pets and worrying that the people that I asked to look after my pets won’t get there on time to let them out or will forget and not feed them or give them water or scoop their litter box. If you hire me you will not have that problem. You can relax on your vacation or on your business trip knowing that your fur babies are taken care of. I currently work as a merchandiser and have a flexible schedule and can arrange my schedule to include pet visits at any time of the day. I do not currently have a fenced in yard but plan on getting one so if you want me to keep them in my home, I will leash them and walk them.
“What an amazing place to leave our fur baby. Jen and her kids were amazing to our dog. Jen sent me pics of our dog throughout his stay. Great communication too! Will definitely use again.”
“Brittany cared for our 3 dogs for 10 days and did an excellent job with them. She kept us updated daily and sent pictures and videos so that we could see them. She and her family were great with giving them love and attention. We will definitely be using her services again when going out of town. I would highly recommend her for anyone needing their pets taken care of. Thank you so much Brittany!!”
“Omari was amazing and took the best care of my high-energy labradoodle pup for 5 days. He was the best! He sent daily pictures and videos. Would absolutely recommend him to everyone and will 100% use him again. Thanks so much, Omari!!”
“Kaitlin is a wonderful fur baby carer. She stepped & helped us in a last minute need we had. She had us over for a meet & greet so our pup could get used to her new surroundings. Our little girl ran back in the next day & was very relaxed there. Kaitlin sent photos & updates to make us at ease. She even had roommates who loved on her. I’d highly recommend Kaitlin.”
“Patrick and Chris are amazing! Our dogs had a great time. The backyard was wonderful for play time. We loved getting updates and photos! We will definitely make this our dog’s second home!”
“Samantha was so helpful and accommodating. She was very laid back, positive and took great care of my two dogs. She even sent photo updates of my dogs so I would know they were doing good. I will definitely return to Samantha anytime I need a sitter for my pups. Great job Samantha and thanks again!!!!!!!”

“I have 4 dogs. 2 seniors, two pups. One very sick pup. Haley was a life savior as I went away. She took my pop for blood work and to pick up meds. Above and beyond the call of duty .”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Russellville
I cannot say enough amazing things about Emilee! She took such wonderful care of Jaxon and truly went above and beyond. From the moment we dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She kept me updated, was incredibly responsive, and treated Jaxon like he was her own. He can be a hyper boy, but she handled him with so much patience, love, and understanding. It’s obvious she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows in the way she connects with animals. When we picked him up, he was happy, calm, and clearly very well-loved during his stay. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate, I 100% recommend her. We’re so grateful for the amazing care she provided and will definitely be booking with her again! 💛🐾
Emilee is the best! She always takes great care of my pup, and he loves any chance he gets to spend time with her! She has great knowledge of dogs, so I always feel comfortable leaving mine with her for days at a time. All in all, if you’re looking for somebody trustworthy to book with, Emilee is your girl!

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 Russellville home-away-from-home, 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 Russellville.
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 Russellville 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 , 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 .
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.
