“Listen, look no further on Rover! Sharon is it. My dog injured himself and needed a place for several days that was attentive to his needs because he couldn't run or jump and I didn't want him crated all day while I was at work. Sharon sent me videos, photos, progess updates, and my Bosey would get so excited when we pulled up to her house. Her home is so serene and calm. She has plenty of toys. He has recovered quicker than I anticipated. I soooo appreciate Sharon and the care and compassion that she had for my Bosey. I will be using her and anyone reading this review should too.”



“Rachael was amazing! Sent us picture updates several times. She also had a couple of other pups for our dog to play with and get his zoomies out.”


“She was woefully with my dog”


“Thank you so much Aspen for taking care of my little girl today. She had so much fun and it's really good for her to have these play days with other dogs and good exposure to little children. Thank you and see you next year when I come through :)”


“Ebony was really understanding about changes in plans and a great communicator!”


“Leslie was so wonderful with my wilson! She sent lots of pictures, even took him to a park when it was nice out. She followed the directions for feeding and gave him lots of snuggles ❤️”


“Racheal & Stephanie were so kind! They were flexible with pick-up & drop-off, very communicative pre & during Frankie girl’s stay (including great updates with photos!) I had a previous Rover cancel and Racheal was able to accept my request the day-of! Though Frankie girl wasn’t as open to their high-energy puppies, she was able to snuggle and enjoy with them on the couch. Would absolutely rebook with Racheal & Stephanie again! Thanks to you both!”


About: My house is practically a zoo! I have had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently am a pet parent to my dog Ollie and cat Billie. I am the person my friends go to whenever they need a pet sitter! I am currently a teacher on summer break! So I have plenty of time to play and love on your pets. Guaranteed outside time at least every four hours. I own my own house with a large backyard! My dog loves to play with others and they can become best friends while playing outside.


“Ollie was positively chill when we picked him up which is really great considering he has horrible separation anxiety. To see so little stress after being left was truly such a relief- my partner and I enjoyed our first date night in months thanks to Marina!”


About: I have been an animal lover and owner for over 30 years. My 14 year old Lab is truly my best friend. He is used to other animals and very laid back. I provide lots of patience, affection and exercise for all animals. We go out 3-4 times per day for walks and potty breaks. Live right by Cherokee Park, which is a great venue for pups. I just returned home from living/working in California for a year+. Therefore my reviews are from 2023 and earlier. Please let me know about anything your pet needs to feel safe and happy. The more information the better. I can handle separation anxiety and other behavioral issues but prefer to know ahead of time. Please make sure your pet is treated for fleas/ticks. If your baby has a history of indoor urination, please provide diapers/belly bands. Happy to accommodate all ages and stages. I truly enjoy the company of animals and also like to walk often. Being in the park and exercising helps lift my spirits. My dog has improved my life in many ways and he makes me a better human. My condo is very pet friendly and permitted by the HOA. Pets are given a cool, calm and comfy environment. Plenty of memory foam beds and free access to filtered water. (Treats also, if owners request/permit). I am almost obsessively neat and always treat my customers’ homes with respect. My goal is to be as unobtrusive as possible. Scrupulous about keeping your home secure while you are away. I ask that you leave clear and detailed instructions to maintain a safe & secure home. Also, for long term services, I do not mind bringing in mail, putting trash/recycle bins out.

“We sent a last minute request when our plans fell through and Iryna was wonderful! Honey had a great time and Iryna sent lots of pictures. We would absolutely book again and recommend her to others.”


About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, have taken training courses, read books on positive training practices, and volunteered at shelters. I am a writer who works from home with a 3 year old 12.5lb playful doxie/terrier mix who needs walks early and often — so much of my day is spent on slow sniffaris and trips to the park. I live alone in a large apartment with several plush dog beds strewn about, so there is plenty of space to stretch and play — and my couch sits along three large windows where dogs can perch to watch the passersby. If your dog needs a sitter or a sleepover, I’d love to have them — and my little pup would love it even more. Since I’m around all day, I’m available to meet your dog’s special needs — administering medicine, adhering to feeding times, playing tug of war, whatever the case may be. We have warm and happy home full of natural treats waiting for you and your dog. I work from home and so am available to fulfill your dog’s needs without bother! I never leave my own dog for more than a few hours at a time so you can rest easy knowing your dog is getting the focus and energy they need. Dogs in my home get many daily walks, at least one trip to the park every day — and most of all sensitive and informed care. My family makes fun of me for how attentive I am to my own dog, brushing his teeth and treating him with healthy snacks, watching him closely for changes in behavior and physical afflictions. Your dog would receive the same care (plus or minus the teeth brushing). And you will receive as many photos as you can handle ensuring they are having fun.

About: If you are looking for someone to love your dog like their own and treat like a prince/princess, than I am exactly what you are looking for. I have always had a love for animals, especially dogs. I grew up with 3 dogs in my house and have been able to care for them for many years. My family and friends call me the animal whisperer because animals seem to connect with me, even those who usually don’t like strangers. I love walking dogs and going to dog parks. I live in a two story two house with lots of room and a front gated yard. I can be a morning bird or night owl. I look forward to meeting your fury member of the family. I am a full time student and stepped away from my corporate management position. I have a open schedule due to online schooling. I have dependable transportation as well. I am able to customize my services to the requests of my clients. I will always give 100% effort to make their pets feel loved and safe. Also relieving some stress for their owner, knowing they are in good hands while they are away.

“Tracy does a great job with Enzo. I think he enjoys his time there and enjoys meeting all the people at the apartment”



“Christina was incredibly accommodating, and took excellent care of Lillian, who was a little stressed over being someplace new for the first time. Wish I lived in the area so I could book her again; Christina was excellent and communicates well (and sent photos during the stay, which was a bonus!)”


“Willow did great with my pup. They helped me out with a last minute doggy daycare and I really appreciate it!!”


About: I grew up on a farm and have always been surrounded by all types of animals. I love to travel and try to meet as many animals as I can along the way. I’m currently working part time so I figured I would fill up my spare time with my favorite thing and help out some furry friends along the way. I am happy to follow specific individualized instructions for all of the unique pets that are out there. I know how important those little furry family members are.

“Ana did great with my dogs and they enjoyed her company!”


“Max is awesome. Kept me informed daily of Etta’s day. He clearly loves dogs!! He is gentle and kind to my baby. She liked him right away. He even wrote a poem about her!! Just loved everything about this experience 💕”

Her response time is unmatched. She went above & beyond for our girl & we could not be more thankful for them. We will only be using Raven’s from here on out. Highly recommend!!❤️”
University dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jon was terrific at taking care of my baby he gave me regular updates and comforted during his anxiety during a storm I would definitely use him again when I need to.

Max is awesome. Kept me informed daily of Etta’s day. He clearly loves dogs!! He is gentle and kind to my baby. She liked him right away. He even wrote a poem about her!! Just loved everything about this experience 💕

Cecile was exceptional, kind and so patient with my puppy! She gave updates the entire day, ensured my puppy felt safe and kept him busy. He came home very happy and very tired. Win win for both of us! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter.

Tracy does a great job with Enzo. I think he enjoys his time there and enjoys meeting all the people at the apartment

Willow did great with my pup. They helped me out with a last minute doggy daycare and I really appreciate it!!

We can't say enough wonderful things about our experience with Christina! We reached out last minute hoping to find someone to watch our dog for about 5 hours while we attended the wedding out of town and Christina truly went above and beyond. From the moment we dropped Bruno off, we fell completely at ease. Christina was incredibly welcoming and kind. Throughout the afternoon they sent us several adorable photo updates, which we absolutely loved and appreciated! It was clear that Bruno was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. We are so grateful for the care, love, and attention Bruno received. We would wholeheartedly recommend Christina to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful to care for their furry family member.

We are from out of town and were visiting Louisville with our dog. We needed a sitter for the days where we couldn't bring Beau with us. From the beginning, Kaitlin was quick to respond and accommodating, even agreeing to a quick meet and greet before day care. Kaitlin was calm and we felt like we could trust her with Beau. Her dog, Maggie was very sweet and we felt comfortable leaving Beau with essentially a complete stranger! Thank you, Kaitlin! We would definitely recommend her.
