About: Growing up, my family always had pets. From the tiniest hamster to a large pitbull, I have always been surrounded by pets. I’ve been babysitting pets since I was young and even had the opportunity to foster a dog as a teenager. I understand how important our fur babies are to us! I am out of school for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands! I am available to dog walk or simply just pop ins during the day to check on your pet. I’m my home, pets are members of the family. They’re given the same love and respect that any other family member would receive. For me, this has always reflected when I’m caring for a pet that I am pet sitting. When they’re in my care, I view them as family.
“Jessica walked my dog Zena every weekday for 6 months and was absolutely wonderful! She is very communicative, consistant, and has been so helpful. My doggo always looked happy in her pictures and she will miss Jessica so much. Thanks again for everything :)”
“Brooke was amazing and so accommodating! I will def use her again if she'll have us! Otis was so happy to get outside today! Thank you Brooke!”
“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”
“Rachel has walked my dog, Roxy, maybe a dozen or so times now, and I could not be more thankful for her. She is kind, and gives my dog great experiences. I am so thankful to know someone that I trust completely with my pup, who has her best interest at heart. Thank you Miss Rachel!! Roxy loves you!!”
“Kim is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Kim and asked if she could walk my two dogs for a couple of days. Kim kindly replied to me quickly and was very accommodating to my last minute request. She treated my dogs with so much love and care. She made sure to refill their water, give them a few treats and sent me some adorable pictures of them where they looked so happy! She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!”
“Erin does wonderful. She has been taking my little pup out during the day for walks and spends her time productively with a good walk. She is very prompt with communication and shows up on time. She sends updates with pictures and a summary of her bathroom breaks. I will continue to use Erin.”
“Fantastic communication and a lovely way with my senior pup ❤️. Really appreciated that Taylor offered a meet/greet before the first walk. We'll happily book again!”
About: I’ve been providing excellent dog walking/sitting services for 5 years with neighbors and friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, throughout all ages. I’ve had over 15 dogs throughout my lifetime and they hold a special place in my heart! I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky and have classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. I’m available all day Monday and Wednesday. I have a loving and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog living with me and a fenced in dog park with obstacles to play on. If your dog requires to be crated I can easily do that too!
“Aubrey was great! She took great care of my dog! She is very nice, friendly, and kind! She was great at communicating and always left a detailed description of the walk with lots of pictures!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.
“Kara was willing to work with my schedule when I desperately needed her last minute! She detailed what went on during her walk and took great care of my baby.”
“My senior dog was very well taken care of during our absence. I loved receiving daily updates and pictures so I wouldn’t miss him so much! Thank you for taking care of him while we were gone.”

During a medical crisis we have found Rhianna to help with our newly rescued 5 year old beagle. Barney loves her and loves the long sniffaris at the dog park and she’s been very attentive to his needs since the initial meet and greet! Just super happy to have her making our boy happy during a difficult time. Highly recommended but please don’t take Barney’s preferred time slots lol
Christy was very professional, accommodating, and the best communicator. She made the whole process stress free by answering all of my many questions, as I was new to using Rover. My dog came back home and was very happy and ready for a good nap! (Plus she took the cutest pictures on the walk!)
We had a pet sitting emergency and needed someone to come by three times in one day. Joy was great with our pups. I was happy to see that her own dog, Copper, is an Australian Cattle Dog, so she understands demanding herding breeds like ours. Our guys were really well cared for and we returned home to find everything in order. Joy is easy to communicate with. She came to meet them in advance and was receptive to what we wanted. We would highly recommend her!!!
Lexee was so kind and patient with my nervous dog! While my dog was a little unsure of having someone new in the house, by the end he was feeling so much more comfortable. Lexee was very quick to respond to messages/requests, which was helpful because it is my first time using Rover. I definitely recommend Lexee as someone you can trust to help with your dog!
