“Murphy had a great time staying with Tina! She sent photos and videos to keep us up to date on how he was doing and even threw him a cute little birthday party since he was turning one while staying with them. I would definitely recommend boarding your dog with Tina.”


“Scott did an amazing job caring for our pup. This was our first time boarding our dog and we were worried how he would acclimate to a new environment. Shortly after drop off, Scott sent us a pictures when he introduced our dog to his, letting us know it went smoothly. We really appreciated this, and it gave us peace of mind. We can’t recommend Scott enough!”


“Julie is the best sitter ever! Extremely accommodating for any schedule and takes such great care of animals. My puppy chewed through her collar and she gave me one to keep, as well as extra food to help with her stomach issues. She is awesome!!”


“Wow, I’m speechless just how amazing this experience was not only as a human, but my puppy was happy and clean when I came back. Heather is truly an angel and I can’t speak to what a blessing she was for us to leave our fur baby! 10 stars! Can’t thank her enough.”


“I have used Rover all over the country due to my work demand and she is absolutely the best one I have used for a long stay. She was very communicative throughout my pup’s stay. We didn’t have a meet and greet ahead of time so she slowly introduced each of her dogs to mine one by one, in which I appreciated, on the day of drop off. She cares about her animals and is in tune to all of their needs and personalities. She is 40 min out of my way and I will definitely drive out to her again!”


“With last minute notice, Kimberly was able to assist and watch Holly for the week. I do not think I have had a better dog sitter for boarding in the almost 12 years I have had Holly. You can tell Holly was happy to be with Kimberly! Thank you so much for the love and care you provided for Holly and the communication, knowledge, and professionalism with us. You are amazing, Kimberly!”


“We just picked up our Jeffy and he did absolutely great! Megan was very nice and we were able to get ahold of her in a timely manner if we needed anything. Will definitely use her in the future!”


“I CANNOT say enough good things about both Rick and his fiancé Annemarie! They were God-sent ANGELS for our wedding weekend! We were out of town - all of us were - and really needed someone who could keep Millie for us. Even though they stayed a half hour away, they were above-and-beyond accommodating, staying flexible with our schedule as things changed on our end. They came and picked her up from us, brought her back for rehearsal the same day so my nephew could practice walking her down the aisle, took her back home. They sent me pictures of her and their dog Buckley all throughout the weekend and she looked like she was having fun, getting good sleep and was comfortable. When Annemarie brought Millie to my wedding, she came dressed up to blend in with the other guests and I never heard Millie bark the whole time. She stayed around in the hot heat for pictures so Millie could be in a few pictures with us before taking her back to their home. Finally, they kept her through an extra day for us so we could have a little breather time before we had to pack everything up at our hotel room and head back home. We could not have made it through our wedding weekend without Annemarie and Rick's help. All of their story-sharing about what Millie was up to with Buckley all weekend was so nice to see intermittently as we were busy buzzing about doing our wedding activities. We are so GRATEFUL for everything they did and it's clear Millie was well taken care of and comfortable because she was so calm and relaxed when Rick returned her to us! Truly extra sweet! Thanks again for everything!”


“My dog felt right at home from the get go. Alexandra was super accomdating amd patient during the inotial meet up. She and sage (her dog) were really friendly and bella felt at ease right away. She maintained very clear communications throughout the stay. Would definitely boon again.”


“Ebony was excellent! Sent plenty of pics and updates. Guthrie loved being with her and her family so much he didn't even notice me at first when I came to pick him up!”


About: I've had a fur baby in my arms since I was a child. Not only did I raise my own, but I've kept my friends, my co-workers and my son's dogs while they were out of town, for a day, a week and sometimes longer. I cared for my son's senior boy while he worked, and then he brought the newest baby to me everyday she when she was a puppy, so she wasn't home alone and I could potty train her with love. I raised our German shepherd with my sons from the time she and my youngest were both just 8 weeks old. When Libby was almost 18 yo we had to have our vet assist her in crossing the rainbow bridge. From there I got my first tiny dog, a little boy named Dexter, Chihuahua 6.6 lbs, and then shortly after I got Danika, Chihuahua 5.5 lbs. They went everywhere with me, vacations, nail salon, shopping. They had a purse they loved to jump right in and 2 booster seats so they were secured safely in my car. I lost Dexter to heart disease at 14 yo and poor little Danika was lost without him. I adopted Lucylle, Chihuahua 6 lbs, she was 2 yo. She was left at the vet by her previous family, that never came back to get her. She was very aggressive towards everyone in the beginning and it took me 3 months of patience and love to bring her out of it. By that time her and Danika were best friends, and loving companions, of course they went everywhere with me. We lost Danika just few months ago, she was 16 yo. That's when I decided to start my journey with Rover, to bring some added joy into mine and Lucylle's life and give other fur babies a safe and loving place to visit when family were away. I retired 04-2024, Lucylle and I have plenty of time on our hands. I bought a patio home, with a nice fenced back yard, where I sit in the morning or anytime during the day/evening and watch Lucylle go out and do her business or just play. We take walks around the neighborhood or down at the walking trail. My neighbors are also dog lovers, they just love little Lucylle. I have a fenced back yard for them to play in with my girl, and I keep a watchful eye on them when they are outside. I can crate your baby if needed, as I do my own sometimes. I have little beds and/or a blanket for them to snuggle when they are napping. Being retired gives me plenty of time for your fur baby (and mine). Caring, playing and loving them as if they were my own.

“Nelson was amazing. Valentina was treated very well. They kept me informed and sent me videos of Valentina. I will be booking Nelson again in the future.”


“We love Mary D! Our dog has stayed with Mary three times and she has treated him with so much love and he has had a blast. We would recommend Mary for your dog's next stay, in fact we have booked Mary for our next trip!”


“I can’t recommend Crystal enough! When my regular sitter was unexpectedly unavailable, I was nervous about leaving my fur baby with someone new, especially since I was traveling internationally for 10 days. Crystal immediately put my mind at ease. She offered a meet and greet with her and her dog, beforehand, and she was very flexible with drop/pick up times. Overall she was an amazing sitter who really went above and beyond. She treated Bailey like her own and cared for him with love. It was clear from the pics and updates she sent that my baby was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Also, my dog got along great with her dog and the other visiting dog. They created a little “dog pack”, the pics were sooooo cute! . If you’re looking for a sitter that you can trust wholeheartedly with your fur baby, Crystal is the one!!”


“The setup and care Thor received was outstanding! Will definitely use Susan again! She sent pictures and updates frequently. He looked happy in the pictures. No concerns or issues at all.”


“Went above and beyond to pick up my dogs and care for them last minute in an emergency situation when I was out off town!”


“Courtney is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. She has been the one we call anytime we need our pup watched and it’s been close to 10 times now!! She is very great with communicating while she has your fur baby and even sends picture updates. Courtney is more than what I could ask for in a person to when trusting her with my baby girl while I’m away! Thank you so much for being so trustworthy.”


“Sharon sent us several updates throughout our fur babies ’ stay in the form of texts, pictures, and videos. We could tell she was very conscientious about taking good care of them and they seemed to have a great time. We will definitely get in touch with her the next time we need a sitter!”


“Ms. Shunita was a Godsend. Not only was she overly professional, but our furbaby absolutely loved her. She is attentive and responsive, and my dog didn't even want to leave when I picked her up. She provides kennels, but allowed me to bring my dog's bed (so she'd be comfortable) bc she doesn't sleep in her kennel at home. We are new to Louisville, and it was so reassuring to find someone we feel completely comfortable leaving our furbaby with.”

Faye J.
“I am personally, a snob of sorts. I rarely find anyone...friends, vets, petsitters, etc that live up to my standards of how pets should be cared for. I am the friend that is silently (but sometimes quite loudly, too) judging you for the way you care for your pets. It's just who I am. Yes, I'm the person that treats animals just as lovingly as I do other humans. That being said, I have nothing but major kudos when it comes to Lynn. Yes, her name is Faye, but we call her Lynn. She treats her dog better than most people treat their own children. So yes, her heart is in it. Secondly, she is aware of acute changes and acts accordingly. Things that other pet owners may miss, she's vigilant about noticing. Increased respirations? She'll notice. Different looking poop? She'll notice. So yes, she's a smart cookie because it's important to her. I would not hesitate to leave any of my own crew in her care. I would not hesitate to have her in my home caring for them or for her to have my crew (albeit, a large one) stay with her in her home. That kind of trust can make a vacation so much more enjoyable. Some of my friends have had the absolute worse tragedies while on vacation. I would feel so secure having her watch over my precious little ones. Highly, highly recommended!”

Samuels dog parents share their Rover experiences
Julie was fantastic with our dogs. She sent pics daily of the dogs playing with updates on them. Highly recommend her for anyone in the Bardstown area needing your four-legged family members taken care of.

We had a positive experience with Julie. Her communication was excellent from start to finish—she was quick to respond and always kept us in the loop. We especially appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind and showed how happy our pup was.
