“Eric and June are wonderful with my formerly abused rescue Chihuahua. I would recommend them to anyone looking for that extra special care for their fur baby.”
“This being our first time using a dog sitter, it was awesome! Roy was very easy to work with. Communication was on point and he made it very easy for drop off and pick up as we had to tweak the times. He sent us pictures of Lilly while we were gone which was a plus. You can definitely tell he genuinely cares and treated our Lilly the same as we do.”

About: Aside from being a dog bather and groomer for 2 and 1/2 years, I have always been around all sorts of animals since I was a baby. It is my special interest and so I enjoy going to work everyday and even just helping out neighbors with their pets. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 9 month old, which means I will have plenty of free time and open availability to care for your babies. I am currently a stay at home mom to a 9 month old so I have lots of free time to care for your babies! In my client’s home I try to stick to your pet’s daily routine while also making sure they’re getting plenty of exercise and cuddles! Check ins and updates are given to the owners regularly. In my home routine is important, but most importantly is safety. Pets must be comfortable in a crate so that if I need to ever step away for a short moment they are safe and secure. It’s preferred that your pet is comfortable around other animals such as cats. All dogs staying in my home will have access to a front yard as well as a lovely walk around the neighborhood if that is preferred.
About: At our home, dogs are treated like family not just pets. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where every dog receives personalized attention, plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. We understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so we take the time to learn their individual needs to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine and something we genuinely enjoy. Our schedule allows us to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. We build our day around the dogs in our care to ensure they maintain a consistent routine that closely matches what they’re used to at home. We have 3 children who love dog we have 2 dogs ourselves. We have new clean home and shortly will be installing brand new fence for the dogs to run around on a acre of property
“Loved her, she was really nice. She took care of my little maltipoo for 3 days and she was the best. She sent updates about her every morning and pictures. Definitely book her!!!! She’s great and she’s definitely gonna be my go to sitter.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire life, beginning when I was six years old. Over the past nine years of my military career, I have also gained extensive experience caring for pets while service members were away for field exercises, missions or other military obligations. These experiences have taught me to be responsible, dependable and attentive to individual needs of each animal. I understand the importance of providing consistent care, maintaining routines, and ensuring that pets are safe, comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Although I work full time, I have flexible availability outside of work. I am available for pet care and boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 6:00 p.m., allowing me to provide your pets with attentive and reliable care during my available hours. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. Our neighborhood also has several nearby parks and a large open field close to our home, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and exploration. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I will follow the owners instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other daily routines. I will also treat the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own home, keeping the space clean and secure while providing the pet with plenty of attention and companionship.
“Sacha was amazing with our Tuck! She checked in frequently with pictures and kept him entertained and active the whole stay. He was exhausted when we got him home! Super thankful we found her and will be using her again and again!”

About: I have 2 of my own dogs that are very much like children to me! I have been around dogs my whole life and have always loved them like they were my own. I have also taken courses on dog training and understanding their behaviors. I will give your dogs a loving and relaxed experience just like I would want for my own!

I am a huge dog person so my dogs get treated almost like humans and so would yours! We have plenty of area for your dog/s to roam and be relaxed. I am also able to separate my dogs from others if the situation requires it.
About: I have pet sit and walked dogs for years, growing up I was surrounded by and owned dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, and parakeets. I love animals and they enrich life! I taking classes at a school so I am able to care for pets and provide walks the whole day! I am also able to fit in pet sitting afterwards as I only work 6 hours a day. I’m able to feed animals in the morning before I leave for work, and spend much of the afternoon to hangout and give them some love. I’m a home body and love to hangout at home during pet sitting with the pet. I love to brush pets everyday and I love going on walks with dogs daily!

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Saint Elmo can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Saint Elmo 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 Saint Elmo.
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 Saint Elmo 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.

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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
