About: I have lots of experience working with dogs and cats, and have had both my whole life. I have worked in a doggie daycare as well as worked at a private company doing one on one walks, in home care, and group off-leash park visits. I am the live-in caretaker for both of my elderly parents, and with the exception of an emergency I am available most hours of the day. I am proactive in my approach to caring for animals. Anticipating pet needs, keeping a list of wants and needs from the pet parents, taking my own notes and remembering each animal that I work with so that the care is exactly what you are looking for.
“Rosaanna was great with my 2 dogs for an hour drop in visit. Very responsive I will definitely be using her again for any day trips we may have to take. Highly recommended!!”

“Taryn was AMAZING! I was nervous leaving my cats and had never used Rover before, but I'm so happy I found Taryn. She sent me regular updates and pictures of all my cats, so I still felt very connected to them and felt comfortable that they were doing well. She was patient with my two timid cats and I got the sense that they all loved her! I felt like Taryn truly took the time to care for my cats and I know they had good company while I was away. She also fed the strays/feral cats while I was gone which was not necessary but very much appreciated. My house was also very clean when I came home--Taryn cleaned out all the bowls and the kitchen area and left everything very organized which was a nice extra touch. I will 100% hire Taryn again!”

“Anne Peyton did a great job with our dogs! She was really easy to work with, prompt will all messages, and she arrived on time for all the drop-ins. I would definitely hire her again.”


About: Professional Care with a Nutritionist’s Touch Your Pet’s Wellness is My Business While many people on Rover are looking for a side gig, my entire professional life is built around the health and happiness of animals. As the owner and operator of Pet Wants Glasgow, I spend my days focusing on what makes pets thrive—from high-quality, slow-cooked nutrition to the importance of structured exercise. When I’m looking after your best friend, I’m bringing that same professional standard and specialized knowledge to your front door. Why I’m Different: Nutrition Expertise: I specialize in nutrient-dense diets and have a keen eye for dietary needs, allergies, and picky eater behaviors. Community Trusted: You may have seen me at Dennison’s Roadside Market or the Ace Hardware adoption events in Hart County, or at fundraisers in Bowling Green and Barren River State Park. I am a deeply rooted member of the community who believes in doing things right. Professional Reliability: Running a C-Corp means I value punctuality and communication. You’ll get consistent updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Hands-On Experience: I've been a dedicated pet parent to six dogs over my life and have worked with a variety of breeds and personalities from German Shepherds to Toy Poodles. The "Premium" Visit Experience: Tailored Approach: I adapt my pace to your pet’s specific energy level, whether they are a high-energy athlete or a senior who just wants a slow sniff around the yard. Wellness Focus: Every visit includes a quick check on behavior, energy, and coat health. A Special Perk: With your permission, I’m happy to include a sample of our premium, slow-cooked treats from Pet Wants for your pet to try! "I treat every visitor with the same focus on longevity and vitality that I give to my own. Your pet's health is my business—literally." Hello! I’m David. Friends and family know me as Dwain, and my life is dedicated to the health and happiness of animals. As the owner of Pet Wants Glasgow, I don't just "watch" pets—I advocate for their total wellness. Whether it’s a high-energy dog walk or a quiet cat check-in, I bring a level of professional oversight and nutritional expertise that most sitters can't offer. Professional Standards for Every Pet As the owner of a pet nutrition franchise and a C-Corporation, my approach to safety is built on professional accountability. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat my responsibility to them with the same level of care and organization I bring to my business operations. My Safety Protocols: Secure Transport: I use a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, which is well-equipped for safe pet transport in various weather conditions and terrain. Structured Interaction: I focus on "calm energy" and structured routines to ensure pets feel secure and unstressed, whether we are on a walk or a drop-in visit. Knowledgeable Oversight: My background in researching animal behavior, nutrition, and husbandry allows me to spot potential health or behavioral issues before they become problems. Community Accountability: Being a local business owner in Munfordville and Hart County means my reputation is my most valuable asset; you can trust that I will be there exactly when I say I will.
About: I have worked and been around animals for a very long time. I have always owned animals and helped neighbors with their own animals. I have worked at 3 different animal shelters from Minnesota, Florida and here in Kentucky. I also worked in a pet store and was the animal care specialist. Also worked as a groomer for a short period of time. I have a home with multiple dogs and cats. In my current job I deal with dogs and cats from all sorts of breeds, sizes and temperaments. I currently work full time caring for animals and would be able to care for others animals before and after work. This would help fill is empty time throughout my day. I also work with my dogs every day on basic obedience skills. I do like to take my dogs on walks just for a change of scenery and take my dogs to certain stores that are pet friendly!
“Brianna went above and beyond with our sweet Teddy while we were gone. He is a very senior dog with some issues that go along with that, and Brianna was a wonderful caregiver. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Allie was amazing checking in and looking after my cats! I felt that they were in comfortable hands the whole time. She would take cute photos and let me know that they were taken care of. She was great!”

About: I have been a pet owner for my entire life! I enjoy playing, walking, and spending time with dogs and cats. I have also been a sitter for several personal friends and family members. I’m currently on vacation from college, so I can spend as much time as needed with all of my clients! I am available most days, excepting Thursdays and Fridays. I am very comfortable with animals and try to ensure that they are comfortable with me. I walk my large, excitable dog on a regular basis. This experience gives me confidence when I walk other animals.
“Samantha did a fantastic job! We had her drop in over the weekend while my husband and I were out of town. She was communicative and super sweet. Luna loved her. Will definitely be using her more in the future!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Dogs and cats are my specialty. I have experience with the young and the old. I can give medical assistance to your pet if needed. Your furry friend is in good hands. I can give your pet a full day of play and companionship! I have no other obligations at this time. I am 24/7. Only one call or text away! I like to keep my dogs personally on a feeding schedule. I love giving my animals or other animals all the attention and love they want.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have my own young puppy. I enjoy taking him on walks and teaching him new tricks everyday, I already want another! But life circumstance won’t allow that right now, so I thought dog sitting would be perfect for me! I just would like to do something I love! My animals only need so much care and attention, so I thought being a pet sitter would be perfect. If it is a cat friendly and other dog friendly dog, I wouldn’t mind at all to pet sit at my house(my puppy loves playmates). Cat care and non-other animal friendly dogs would be at the clients home.
“Esther has been doing drop-in visits for our Bichon since early 2024. She is so dependable, knowledgeable and kind to our Lucy, and I cannot sing her praises enough. We willl be moving but if we ever are back in the area and need a pet sitter, Esther will be the first person I call. Thankful for all her help.”

“Just wanted to let you know what a great job you did! Wish I could get you in every time I have to leave home because I can tell how much my baby loved you and what good care you took with her! Thank you so….o much!!! Got in early today just after 10:30am !!”

About: Hi! My name is Janae. I’m a great communicator and I grew up with many different breeds of dogs. I’ve always had a love for animals and am looking for a way to invest more time in the things I love. I am a 29 year old professional and run a business in the area. All afternoons are free. My fur baby is my best friend. I’ll make sure to care for yours as if they were my own! I have experience with the following breeds: German shepherds, Great Pyrenees, boxers, French bulldogs, shitzus, Australian shepherds, blue heelers, and cocker spaniels. I have most afternoons free and love to spend that time doing something productive! For my own fur baby we have a morning and a night routine and I’ve been incorporating walks mid day. I will provide walks, snuggles, and all the play they need! I love being outside and taking walks myself so taking your fur baby out for a walk would be the highlight of the day!
About: I have experience with older and blind dogs. I have level 1 obedience dog training and potty training experience. I have open availability for consistent help.
