“Kandace was AWESOME!!! My dog is literally the definition of “only dog syndrome”. She took her time introducing Mamas to her fur babies. She kept in touch with pictures and responded quickly when I reached out to her. I could tell she felt safe, loved, and enjoyed being around other dogs!!!!”
“This was the second time Jennifer has cared for my fur baby, and I couldn’t be happier. My little one was so well taken care of and given lots of love and attention. It gives me such peace of mind knowing my pet is always in such caring hands. Truly grateful!””
“I had to make last minute accommodations for my dog. Roy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would definitely use his services again.”
“I left my 2 German Shepherds with Marquia for 7 days and they came back extremely happy. She sent me pictures throughout their stay and always kept me updated. I will be using her for all my dog sitting needs from now on!”
“We are grateful for such a good care of our dog while we were out of town. We could tell that Azula had lots of fun and exercise, while we were gone, because she came home and was ready to sleep! We will definitely contact Miranda again in the future for our boarding needs.”
“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.”
“James was great with Argyll! He had so much fun with the other pups and is still recovering from all the action. Working with James was very easy as he was super communicative. He always seemed genuinely concerned about Argyll’s well being and putting me at ease being a first timer.”
“I needed a dog sitter last minute. Thank goodness she was available. She treated my dog like he was her own. She kept me well updated with pics of him like she said she would. I have no complaints. In the future if I need her again this is who I will be reaching out to. I recommend Kelcey to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”

“Michelle and her husband take such good care of our dog! He gets so excited when we pull up to their house, as he knows he is going to get all sorts of attention and ball playing time while he is there. He is so comfortable and content to overnight there, and they are great about sending pictures while he is with them. They are fantastic people and make it so easy to board our dog with them when we are out of town!”
“Kendra was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures the whole time. This was the first time I’ve used a dog sitter and I will absolutely use Kendra the next time I need someone to keep my baby.”
“Lauren was absolutely incredible! She took such good care of my Ody while I was in Germany! She updated me often on his eating habits, he can be a picky eater sometimes! She sent me photos almost daily and would tell me about his day! I will absolutely be using her services again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my Bobo!! 🫶🏻”
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 experience with all types of animals including cats, dogs, birds, and more. I have been pet sitting for 8 years for neighbors and friends. I currently work 6 am- 2 pm but my hours are somewhat flexible so I may be available for morning if needed. Afternoons and evenings preferred I am unable to accommodate pets in my home unless they are kept in an enclosure. During home visits I typically adhere to instructions by the owner and always enjoy bonding with pets that I visit on a frequent basis.
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 currently stay at home full time with the dream of having my own dog boarding business so you will never have to worry about your pets being alone! 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! I enjoy playing with dogs to get energy out as well and am always mindful to give some time in between playing and eating to ensure a safe eating routine!

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. 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 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.
