“Elizabeth and Phil were awesome pet hosts and took such good care of our two dogs. They were super communicative and sent pictures of their adventures on walks and at the dog park. Would highly recommend!!”

“Ryo took care of our sweet Maddy and worked with us on such short notice. We appreciated the communication and pictures and can tell she was well cared for. We will definitely be contacting him again for doggie sitting in the future. Thanks Ryo!!”

“we are so glad we found Beth M! our dog Tuko loves her and so do we. great person, excellent communicator! Beth takes your pet into her home with her own and her family. we have not enough words to recommend Mrs. Beth M. Great sitter.”

“We love leaving our Maggie with Heather. It’s like a vacation for her while we’re on vacation. She gets to run and play in Heather’s backyard. She’s so happily and tired when we pick her up. We couldn’t be more pleased! 😊”

“My dog had a blast with Aspen and her family. She sent me a ton of pics and updates. It’s so relieving to not have to think about him at all while I’m out of town.”

“Carol, Maple, and the two cats (Raja & Nala) are great. They would send us updates with pictures, and was very accommodating to our schedule and any particular needs or care. All animals are well trained and do great with other animals in her home. The backyard she has is a plus for a quick potty break, and sunbathing. I would recommend her anytime.”

“Bennae was very accommodating and kind. Chico returned home with the same mannerisms he left with. I will definitely be using Bennae again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Great experience”

About: Dogs have always been family in my home, and that’s exactly how I treat every pup who stays here. My name is Keith and I share a home with my wife, Natalie; our 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound, Bernie, and our 6-year-old daughter, who has grown up loving and being around dogs. The home has a large, fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, explore, or just lounge outside. Inside, the home is completely dog-friendly—couches, furniture, snuggles and all! I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family rather than being boarded. One of the biggest benefits of staying here is that someone is almost always home. I work from home 90% of the time and the whole family is home on the weekends, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. They won’t spend their stay sitting alone for hours. Having an Irish Wolfhound has also given me plenty of experience with large and giant breeds, but I genuinely love dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and included while they’re here. And of course, I am happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see what your pup is up to! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I work from home majority of the time, so someone is almost always here. This means your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of attention, playtime, outside time, and cuddles throughout the day. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding and love having an extra furry family member around! The home has a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a sweet 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Bernie who is very much part of our family. We have a 6-year-old daughter who has grown up around dogs and understands how to be gentle and respectful with them. The home is very dog-friendly—pups are welcome on the furniture, encouraged to get comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re here. I am also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, crate, or exercise routine so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible.
“Ciara did a wonderful job with our boxer mix! He is a rescue with some anxiety issues who needs a calm, patient caretaker and she handled him beautifully. I will certainly use her again!”

“My boarding experience for my pups with Shunita has been one of the best! She was very kind and took great care of my puppies. I was very nervous at the start since this was my first time boarding with Rover, but I could not have asked for a better person. She is the BEST! I will definitely will be a repeat customer. 5 stars!!”


“Jacqueline was very accommodating with our last minute plans and it’s clear that our golden had a very fun weekend! Definitely recommend and hopefully will use her again!”


About: I worked in an overnight pet facility called Pet Station Country Club for close to a year as a part of the overnight team. From around 7pm to 6am I would have personal watch of dozens of pets including cats and dogs, and was in charge of giving them medications and potty breaks. I am also Pet Tech CPR and First Aid certified, so I can give medical attention to your pet in an emergency. I have grown up around all kinds of cats, dogs, rabbits and chickens, and love pets! I am a full time student undergoing my junior year at University of Louisville, but am free multiple times during the day to check in on pets as I live within 5 minutes of campus. My evenings are free, and I have no prior commitments. The townhome I stay in has a fenced in yard and is incredibly close to University's campus, meaning it is a safe environment for walks and care.
“I can’t say enough good things about these folks. To start, they spent an hour with me and Benny (my pup) in advance of my trip and introduced us to their place. Benny loved the big backyard and I could tell he immediately felt at home. During my trip, I received daily videos of Benny playing with other dogs or being loved on, which made me feel good knowing I was so far away from home. Benny is such a good dog and I am grateful to have connected with people as equally good and loving. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”

“Lisi did a great job with my two dogs. They were very accommodating to a last minute request (day of!) and flexible with me. Received picture updates which were great. Thank you!”

“George and Erin were great with our puppy who is very energetic. Their yard is phenomenal, and their care was fantastic. We would definitely use them again.”

Keith and family were wonderful for my Snickers! She loved playing with their dog and their hard. She made their home her home while I was away and I felt safe with her in their care. Keith kept me updated and I loved being able to schedule at such short notice. I will definitely book again. Thank you All so much

Carol, Maple, and the two cats (Raja & Nala) are great. They would send us updates with pictures, and was very accommodating to our schedule and any particular needs or care. All animals are well trained and do great with other animals in her home. The backyard she has is a plus for a quick potty break, and sunbathing. I would recommend her anytime.

This was our first time using Rover and I was a little apprehensive, but Jon put my mind at ease. He was great with our dogs and made them feel right at home. The enclosed backyard was the perfect place for them to run around, and he provided us with daily photo updates.

The best Rover experience! You can tell Emily loves animals so much and cares for them like her own. Thank you Emily for taking care of my two babies, they had a blast! Emily sent updates and photos/videos during their stay and it was so nice. I truly felt so worry-free and relaxed knowing they were so loved.

Destiny treated my 2 dogs like her own - my nervous 12 year old ate every meal, got his medications, and had a great time. Besides just walking them, they got to go to our dog park. Her photo updates were prefect - I knew they were happy so I could enjoy my vacation.
