“The love Kelcey has for pets is amazing! I felt comfortable leaving Kali with her while I worked and ran errands. Kali was sooo tired when he returned home (that means he had a BLAST!). Thanks again Kelcey! Kali will be back! :)”
“Savana was great! I had to book last minute due to my poor planning and was not sure how long I would actually need her help. She was so accommodating and my pup seemed to love his time there. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 2 years old. I’ve saved over 65 dogs from the streets and gave them new homes. As a dedicated dog lover with experience in caring for various breeds, I am passionate about providing a safe and nurturing environment for your furry friend. I understand the unique needs of dogs, from regular exercise to dietary requirements, and I am committed to ensuring they feel loved and comfortable while you're away. My attention to detail and strong communication skills mean that I can keep you updated on your pet's well-being, giving you peace of mind. With my patience and playful spirit, I am confident that I can create a positive and enjoyable experience for your dog. Let me be your trusted dog sitter! I’m a stay at home dog mom so I have all the time in the world to care for your precious fur babies so ❤️ I watch them very carefully and make sure no one gets hurt. I make sure they stay safe and have plenty of room to play while being safe.
“Leslie is the absolute best!! We’ve been sending our fur babies to Leslie for 8 years now. She treats them like family! There is no one else that we trust with our dogs. She is the best!!!”
About: I enjoy all breads, especially the howling hounds! I believe it takes a patient heart to care for animals. We really have to pay attention to their body language and behaviors to make sure they are happy and healthy. I’ll be what your pupper looks forward to when you’re away! Emergency last minute trip? I’m just a call away. I have very flexible hours, and you can reach me on my cell by text, call, or voicemail. My specialties include but are not limited to; exercising, calming anxiety, potty breaks (using positive reinforcement for pups in training) I am home most days and have a large yard for your pup to play. I also have a park near by I can take them for longer walks.
“Michelle was a big help for a last minute booking! She kept Bailey for about 8 hours for me and we will definitely be repeat customers if we need someone to watch him again.”
“Heather is always available to keep Denver. Denver had a stomach ache overnight at home before doggy day care at heathers, but I never worried about him the next day after I dropped him off. I know he is always in good hands with Heather.”
About: I have taken care of pet’s since I was a kid from family pet’s to friends to walking neighbors dogs. Whether your pup is wanting to take a nap on its bed, or chase squirrels in the back yard or take a stroll around the block I’m here to accommodate his/her needs. I work from home majority of the time, the most I’m out of the house is 4 hours consecutively. When I am away and at night I lock the pet’s in their own crate ( unless they have a “thunder-buddy”) to ensure their safety so no accidents happen. Your pet’s health and safety is my top concern. I have a child in home so his safety is also my concern. I know new places and people can give some pup/s anxiety and not all dogs do well with kids. If your doggo is anxious around kids please let me know so that way I can ensure my families safety while also accommodating and ensuring your pet is at ease while in my care. I have a fenced back yard for your pet to get adequate outside time, If your pet likes walks I am happy to take them for a stroll around the block, I am firm on sticking to your pet’s feeding times and will accommodate that to my best ability. I provide treats and toys to pets that are cared for in my home, if your pet requires any type of special care ( allergies, anxiety, food aggression, hyperactive, etc) please don’t hesitate to tell me so I can make sure I am providing your baby the best service possible.
“This was my first time using Rover. I was a bit nervous but Kendra was great. She had me introduce my dog, Leo, to her dogs through the fence before bringing Leo inside the fence. The dogs interacted great. Kendra also sent me a picture of Leo letting me know things were going well. It's great to be able to get away and not have to worry about you pet. Thanks Kendra!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for 17 years, starting at the age of 10, and my love for animals has only grown over time. I have experience with daily care routines, exercise, companionship, and basic pet needs. I understand pets are family. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners while giving their pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely, which allows me to be home and fully present with pets throughout the day. This means frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, and plenty of attention, with pets able to move freely and feel comfortable all day long. I have a fenced in yard and 3 happy dogs who think they are human. Your pets are more than welcome to play with mine. However I can keep them separated if requested. If crates are necessary for your pets I can incorporate that as well. Whatever suite you and your pets needs!
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
About: Hi, I’m Leslie! I’ve had pets my entire life, so I understand how much trust it takes to place your dog in someone else’s care. I share my home with Bowie, my French bulldog, and Gordon and Ramsay, my two cats. Caring for Bowie has made me especially attentive to the little things—changes in breathing, appetite, mobility, behavior, or comfort—and taught me how important it is to follow each dog’s individual routine closely. I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need extra patience or individualized attention, including seniors and dogs with special feeding, mobility, or medication. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable following detailed instructions. Although I’m not a veterinary professional, I am calm, observant, and serious about following owner and veterinarian guidance carefully. Whether your dog stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, regular photos, and honest updates—because I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away. My daytime schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, doggy day care, and boarding without rushing through visits. I plan each booking carefully so I can give your dog individual attention while maintaining their normal feeding, potty, exercise, medication, and rest schedule. For house sitting and extended stays, I’ll confirm timing and expectations with you before booking. For boarding and day care, dogs have supervised access to my fenced yard. My home is also shared with Bowie, my French bulldog, and Gordon and Ramsay, my two cats. A meet-and-greet is important so we can make sure everyone is a safe and comfortable match. Guest dogs must be able to coexist safely with both dogs and cats. Introductions are gradual and closely supervised. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, crating, leashing, sleeping arrangements, and household boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their routine and their space. I double-check doors, gates, leashes, and care instructions and provide updates throughout the visit. I’m especially mindful of heat sensitivity, breathing limitations, and mobility needs in flat-faced, senior, and special-needs dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Saint Elmo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Saint Elmo 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.
As of October 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of KY. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
