“literally a life saver. during an unexpected emergency where i was unable to be at home with my puppy, she came and walked him and ended up keeping him for a few nights. made sure to send pictures and keep me updated.”
About: Peace of mind is what I’m all about! Your pet will be treated like one of our pack. We have years of experience with large animals, livestock, senior animals, medication administration, and training. If you have an animal with unique needs, let us know! We are always willing to learn and support. I work from home so your pup will rarely need to be crated or left alone. I have a spacious backyard that’s fully fenced for play time and potty breaks. Our neighborhood is friendly with safe roads for walks morning and evening, weather permitting. In my home, animals are treated just like humans! (Sometimes better) While in your home, we follow your rules and instructions. You won’t ever have to worry about surprises or concerns when coming home.
“Emily is wonderful. She took a short notice request from us for an afternoon. She was amazing at integrating her other visitors with ours. Our dogs snuggled up and were very comfortable for their afternoon stay. She is a very caring and kind person who loves what she does! Doggies are well cared for and spoiled with love. It can be hard to connect with sitters and trust but you don’t have to hesitate with Emily & Austin. They make them part of the family!!!”
“Jessica was amazing!! We needed a last minute sitter for our brand new, very needy 9 week old puppy, and she was more than up to the task. We were very comforted by her friendliness and the frequent updates. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“I needed a few hours to complete shopping. I am visiting from out of town and needed a place to let my big boys play and run! This was fantastic! Super friendly. Responsive. And same day (with only an hour notice) such a life saver!”
“Maui absolutely loves being at Lydia’s for daycare. Lydia is great with communication and we have no plans of taking Maui anywhere else for daycare or boarding in the future.”
“William has been a GODSEND! I work from home - and sometimes my doggy doesn’t get why I’m home and can’t just play :( even though I wish I could! My partner and I have tried so many different things to help keep him entertained and loved through the day but it still isn’t the level of care I prefer to give him. William was the BEST review I saw, and his sweet baby Piper seemed to be a great match for a friend! When we did the meet and greet it only took a few minutes and you could tell they would be great playmates. William’s house is set up perfect for a “puppy paradise” and he gives pictures through the day for updates. Without him - and without Piper - I don’t think I could get as much done during the day without them. If you just need a day to yourself, or need a sitter multiple days, William and Piper are the family to choose! Can’t wait for Domo to keep having a great time. I know he’s in excellent hands!”
“Ryan and Haley took Cash on a holiday while we visited family and it was much appreciated. He must have had a great time because he’s been sleeping since we picked him up! 😂. Thank you both for taking good care of our spoiled pup.”
“Odette was the first sitter I've ever used. I was very nervous at first, but she is amazing! Very communicative, aware of my dogs specific needs, and super nice. I feel very lucky to have found her.”
“Jessica was great with my lil baby. He was tuckered out for the night. Jessica was quick to respond and provided pictures of his day. Will definitely book with her again”
“Linda did a fantastic job taking care of our pup! She was gracious enough to accept our booking last minute, and we truly appreciate that. Would highly recommend her to take care of your pup!”
“Patrick and Chris are excellent dog sitters and all around great people. I work early mornings in the hospital before any other daycares open and was worried I would have no place to bring my 4 month old puppy. They willingly took my pup in at 0515 am. She was so excited to see them the next morning. We will absolutely use them again!”
About: I have owned and cared for animals since I can remember and have been pet sitting officially for the past three years. I briefly studied Veterinary Assistance in college but ultimately decided, owning my own pet business one day was the dream job for me. I provide two daily walks on our 6 acre property during boarding and an exciting day of life on the farm. We have an indoor/outdoor fenced in play yard as well as a comfy cozy living room setting boarding room. If you still can’t picture all the fun your pup will have here, call or text to set up and meet and greet and come and see us! We are a family business so your pups will get loved and cuddled every chance we get. I am excited to meet and care for your babies as if they were my own and look forward to seeing you all soon! I am a pet services owner and operator and my schedule is highly flexible! Caring for your pets is an added joy to my day and week! All the best for your in home care! Large bowls of cold water, special treats, lots of belly rubs and indoor-outdoor play! WagginTails is a must 😉

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Russellville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 166 sitters in Russellville, 92% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
