“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!”


“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.”


“She has been great in caring for my dog! Will definitely continue reaching out to her for future bookings!”


“Leah did a fabulous job taking care of our dog. She sent many fabulous photos and I could tell everything was going great. We will definitely be booking with Leah again!”


“Elizabeth and Philip provided the best possible care for my senior dog. I highly recommend them and would have no hesitation in trusting them with my fur baby again.”


“Shelby was incredibly flexible and responded quickly when we needed someone to watch our pups for a last minute funeral. We will definitely use her again.”

“Lori was absolutely amazing! Sammy had so much fun at her house with the other dogs, and she gave him lots of love, treats, and attention. You can tell she is an animal lover! She went above and beyond at pick-up time to accommodate us. We will 100% use Lori again in the future.”


“Tammy was a godsend. We discussed how we were going to handle buddy because the alternatives were way too expensive. She offered to board buddy, even though she was not listed for boarding on Rover. She changed her preference to be willing to board. My pup is not an easy one to get along with strangers. When I brought Buddy over there, he immediately took to Tammy and started to explore the house and then the fenced backyard. Tammy was so taken with buddy and he took right to her. She sent me cute photos of him during his stay. Because of her obvious bonding and care for buddy allowed me to enjoy my trip with no anxiety. If I ever have to board buddy again, I will certainly request Tammy if her schedule allows it. I would highly recommend her for caring for your pet.”


“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.”


“My babies are always in good hands with Aspen! They get plenty of exercise and attention, and I love the daily photos. I am never worried about my 2 dogs when I'm out of town when they're with her. 10 out of 10 would recommend.”



“She take a very good care of my dog, always send pictures to keep me updated and ask questions about the dog to make they’re as comfortable as they can. She even gives my dog a shower before he leave. She also pay attention to how my dog eat and notice that he’s only eat if you mix his food. I would definitely recommend her and be back next time.”


“Joey is just awesome. Our pup is so comfortable with him and his doggos. Joey is flexible and always responsive. We can’t thank him enough for how comfortable we are leaving our dog with him.”


“Brooklynn was excellent! We left our dog with her for one week and had no issues whatsoever, and our dog clearly loved her. Would absolutely recommend her!”


“Grace was extremely professionally and came with the experience/background to give us peace of mind leaving our pupper to stay with her. She would respond promptly to any messages and would send photos/videos. She also has several other dogs and cats which worked to help better socialize our dog as well. All of these factors make it easy to recommend her to anyone, and we’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”


“We were in from out of town for the Kentucky Derby and hired Ciara to watch our dog while we were at the event all day. She was so kind and helpful, picking him up from our hotel and dropping him off that night was a huge help! We received photos throughout the day and he came home super tired, which always results in a good night's sleep and a well behaved puppy! Felt very comfortable and would recommend!”


“My dog is so happy when I pick him up from Luidmila's. I can tell that he has been loved and cared for during his stay.”


“Beth was great with Charlie. She gave us frequent updates on his status including pictures. We definitely will want to use her again and highly recommend her.”


“Risa was absolutely incredible. She sent regular updates, provided lots of reassurance, and was just perfect. She communicates very well, eases your mind when you miss your pets, and I could not recommend her enough!!!”


“Josh was wonderful with the care of our Baybay. He sent us videos and updates everyday while we were on vacation.. We would highly recommend him for a pet sitter. We will definitely have him take care of our dog again!!!”


“Dayana did a great job with sitting my fur baby Bella😊 I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided! She treated Bella like one of her own, making sure she was well fed, exercised, and given lots of love and attention. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup clearly in great hands while I was away. Highly recommend!”

Shively dog parents share their Rover experiences
I could tell when I picked my pup up that she and Christina had already developed a great relationship. It's reassuring to know that I can turn to such a caring and attentive person to watch my girl when I'm away. I'll feel comfortable and confident booking with Christina in the future.

Amazing experience! Aspen was so sweet and caring with my dog. She sent me videos and updates every few hours, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My pup looked happy and relaxed the whole time. I truly appreciate the attention and love she gave him—highly recommend!

Jupie really enjoyed her time at Liliana’s. We received pics to keep us updated. We would book with her again. Thanks!

Kaylie was super friendly, confident, and a great communicator. Snickers got along with her shepherd and seemed really happy throughout. I appreciated the daily pictures she sent and I’d work with her again!
