“They did a wonderful job!! They really put my mind at ease. I was so grateful that they reassured me when I was worried about the flight delay. They also firmly reassured me and eased my anxiety about my senior dog, allowing me to have a wonderful vacation. And I loved their very clean environment where my dog was staying. I am grateful to have met such wonderful people after moving to this new place, and I feel like going on vacation in the future will be a source of joy rather than worry from now on. I highly recommend Rachel & Frank.”
“Libby really made Daisy feel secure, which is important with her eye sight issues. I appreciated the photos as I could see by Daisy's body language that she was relaxed. I will certainly ask for Libby to care for Daisy in the future.”
“I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Amanda sent us pictures and videos every day, which made being away from our boys so much easier. It was obvious they were having the best time and I honestly think they had just as much fun at her house as we did on vacation! We’re so thankful for everything she did while we were gone, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dogs with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“This was the second time I left my do with Robin. When she opened her front door, Bobo was so happy to see her. And when I left, Bobo was already settled in & didn't follow me to the door when I left.😂. That's when I knew he was happy to be there.”
“I was happy with Scott and Melissa taking care of my kiddos. They were a new sitter since my previous one had to move. Always nervous finding a new one but they were very welcoming and Toshi had friends to play with. I received daily updates with pictures so I could see they were doing well. A nice sized yard to play and they settled in pretty quickly, especially my introvert Calli. I felt my kiddos were safe with them. I’ll be using Scott and Melissa again since they are now my trusted sitter.”
“I just returned from a two week trip and couldn't be any happier knowing Isaac took such great care of my dog (Stubby). Isaac took care of Stubby like he was his own. Stubby is normally very hard to acclimate to new people and environment but he did so very quickly at Isaac's. Wonderful place and beautiful surroundings. Isaac kept me constantly updated with pictures and video's on the daily. Stubby also had two amazing dogs to play with Bella and Peanut. I enjoyed all the video's and pictures Issac sent me of their walks and out in the backyard having fun. You can tell the passion he has for caring for animals. I also had been very behind in giving Stubby a bath because of working and tending to sick family member. But Isaac even gave Stubby a bath for me which I appreciated very much. I would highly recommend Isaac to anyone who is looking for wonderful caretaker and environment for their furry family member. I will be using Isaac again in the future.”
“Shane didnt have a problem with my overwhelmingly energetic dog. Seems like he can handle anything. Was able to book my dog the next day and the day after when I couldnt get my dog in time, thanks!”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”
“Megan was great with our two beagle mixes. She sent updates and pictures and I felt very calm and at ease while we were away. She was very flexible when I had to change the plans multiple times and worked with us to accommodate all our needs.”
“Friendly, inviting, and always kept us updated. It was our first time ever boarding Kira and now we are looking forward to bringing her over for doggy day care every now and then for socialization.”
“Jian was the answer to our prayers. Not only did she take excellent care of Louis she constantly updated us with sweet texts and pictures. I couldn’t have found anyone better. I would be very happy to have her care for Louis again. I honestly cannot say enough great things about her. She was excellent”
“We had an unfortunate last minute out of town trip we needed to take and Carla was wonderful. She came to pick our Tucker up from home and took him to her house for a few days. On our way home we had some car problems but we kept in contact and she was graciously willing to keep him another night if it need be. I would highly recommend Carla, she’s great with our fur baby, always has a smile on her face but most of all- Tucker likes her and that says everything!”
About: I was raised in a home with pets. My mother was a dog trainer, show dog champion, and breeder so I have life-long pet experience. I have cared for hamsters, fish, dogs, cats, birds, horses, rabbits and turtles. I currently have a male mini-dachshund who sleeps with me and is my best buddy. I’m retired and available most days of the week or weekends. I am available for long-term stays or drop-in visits when you just need someone to provide a potty break or a mid-day walk. I know that when I need a dog sitter, I prefer someone to stay in my home that allows my little buddy to stay in his normal surroundings, so I get it and will do the same for you and yours. However, if you prefer I board your pet, I have a fenced yard and allow pets on furniture, unless you have trained your pet to not be allowed on furniture. My home is clean and non-smoking.
“Lisi took excellent care of senior dog. We had plenty of updates where she looked very comfortable and it seemed like she was really loved on during her stay. She came back happy and acting like her normal self. I would recommend Lisi!”
About: I don't remember life without dogs. They've been my companions and best friends since I was a kid. I love them so much that I can bark well enough to fool you into thinking I'm one of them! Over the years, I've been around all kinds of dogs, from Great Danes to mutts and Golden Retrievers. I've also rescued dogs from difficult situations. I've learned that every dog has its own personality. Some want to play all day, some want to cuddle, and others just want to do their own thing. If your dog is big, I'm strong enough to take them on a walk. If they're cuddly, I'll cuddle the crap out of them. If they need space or time to warm up, that's fine, too. I'm comfortable around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I don't get nervous or jumpy around them. I'm sure your dog will bring lots of joy to my home. I have a spacious house where dogs can relax wherever they feel comfortable, along with a fenced backyard where they can run and play. I'll make sure your dog gets the attention, care, and space they need to feel at home. When I'm out, it's never for more than four hours. If your dog stays with me, they would be alone for four hours at most. The rest of the time we'll be around to give them attention and affection. My house is spacious, so your dog can find a comfortable spot to hang out wherever they like. I also have a fenced-in backyard where they can run around and play. I'm happy to take them on walks or to a nearby park, too. Every dog is different, so just let me know the specifics: their routine, what they enjoy, what makes them nervous, and anything else I should know. I want them to feel at home here, not like they're stuck somewhere unfamiliar while you're away.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thixton
Julie is the absolute best when it comes to pet care! This was our second time leaving our pup with her for at least 10 days, and both times we’ve been completely blown away and impressed by her dedication and love for our dog. Knowing our fur baby is in such safe, caring hands gives us total peace of mind while we're away. We highly recommend Julie and will continue to use her any time we have to be away from our pup.
They did a wonderful job!! They really put my mind at ease. I was so grateful that they reassured me when I was worried about the flight delay. They also firmly reassured me and eased my anxiety about my senior dog, allowing me to have a wonderful vacation. And I loved their very clean environment where my dog was staying. I am grateful to have met such wonderful people after moving to this new place, and I feel like going on vacation in the future will be a source of joy rather than worry from now on. I highly recommend Rachel & Frank.
They were both fantastic, extremely accommodating, and very transparent. Our dog Molly is what I would consider a handful and a half, yet they both went above and beyond in making her feel welcome. There was tons of pictures of her on tons of walks, playing in their beautiful home/yard, and cuddling. She was well cared for every minute she spent with them. They will care for yours as if they are their own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thixton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Thixton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Thixton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
