“Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.”
“Jessica was great and she is definitely first on my list to schedule in the future! She stayed at my house due to one of my dog’s being blind. based on the pictures and updates I received and the note she left when I returned, the dogs were spoiled with attention and were well taken care of. Jessica also made sure to leave my house exactly the way we left it and she cleaned up after herself! if you need a dog sitter, you found her in Jessica!”
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”
“Patricia took such good care of our girls while we were on vacation! We received daily updates and photos and could tell how comfortable our girls were. We came home to happy girls and our home in good order. We would definitely use Patricia again, it's clear to see our girls love her and were well taken care of.”

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs
“Sarah did a lovely job with my sweet old man dog! She helped me out last minute & gave him all the love & attention he deserves. I felt like she treated him like her own. She communicated with me well & sent me cute pics. I could tell Cash really liked her! I will be rebooking!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! She was so kind and loving with Bodi and left my place cleaner than I had it! 100% recommend and will definitely be asking Lauren to help again in the future!”
About: I love dogs! I’ve always loved them. When i got my first dog at 8 I was terrified. I would scream and jump on the toilet. She wasn’t even the size of my backpack lol. As the years went on I grew not only a pet but a sister! She was there for me even when i didn’t think i needed her. I want to give your pet the same love I gave to her! Right now i have a mini golden doodle. She is a very special dog lol. She gets on my nerves but i wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s always doing different things to keep me on my toes. I would make sure that your dog is properly cared for. Whether that is playing fetch with them or taking them for a walk. I live in an apartment that has a huge field. They will get the proper exercise for sure. I love to run with them.
“Michael did an excellent job watching my dog Charlie while I was on a business trip. He catered to my dog's needs and stayed on his medication schedule and routine, which is everything. I definitely will be using Michael as a repeat sitter again and again. He's a great guy and loves animals and it show.”
About: I’ve pet sat for friends of friends and neighbors in KY for a few years and hope to do the same here. I love taking care of animals, I’ve had a few over the years including 2 dogs, 3 cats and a snake. I’ve been lucky enough to raise some of them from birth. On Wednesday to Friday the pets will have my undivided attention if needs be. I get off work at about 3 and still have all day to you pet. I am also fully flexible if plans change or if something comes up. I have stopped cat fights and created a Great Dane with little to no issues. Every dogs has his day. I’m also more worried about them than me.
About: Hello! My name’s Mary, I love animals and have had professional experience taking care of pets. I worked at a doggy day care as a manager for a year and a half. I also boarded dogs and walked them there, working with all different breeds big and small! During my time at the daycare I became dog cpr certified, have handled dog fights, cleaned wounds, and administered medication! I have my own Rottweiler, Maple who is quite the handful herself :) I’ve worked on farms caring for all different types of animals which included large guard dogs so I have comfortability and knowledge of all sizes! I love providing enrichment activities during drop in visits and boards. I love dogs and will treat yours as I would my own, with love and care! I have a job in the afternoon and the evenings so I have open availability in the mornings and on most weekends for walks and stays! Unfortunately I do rent a house that doesn’t allow pets but I am more than capable and willing to drive to the house of the pet and or wherever you would like them walked!
“Ben took great care of our pets while we were out of town. I really appreciate the frequent photo updates he provided and how quick he was to respond when we messaged him. The only downside is now our dogs might expect even more walks than we provide them when we’re home.”
About: Hello!! **Update** I am currently accepting walks for only 6-7am and 8-10pm timeframes. I have several repeat clients that take up the other hours but will update this if things change. Drop ins are same timeframes except for Sundays and Tuesdays I can take on anytime all day. If you are going on vacation please reach out anyways about Drop Ins as if my schedule allows I CAN accommodate for the most part with a month in advance*** :) I do have 8 animals both cats and dogs of my own!! If requesting boarding please do not request if your baby does not do well with either breed. My name is Christine and thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile :) I used Rover for 4-5 years but I moved and then was working 2 jobs at the time so I took a break and am back now! I currently live in a condo and do not have a yard right now but I’m feet away from a really great park here in Powell. I grew up taking care of many types of animals but more specifically dogs. I have 3 dogs of my own, all different breeds and personalities, which really challenged me to be able to learn and grow with taking care of dogs. I do work a full time job Monday to Saturday with Sundays and Tuesdays off and early days off Monday Friday and Saturday! This schedule does not work well if you need boarding and your dog needs more attention than I can offer. I do come home for lunches to walk my own dogs . Mainly available for walks 7 days a week. Mostly open for drop ins 5-7 days a week ! I have a flexible schedule for last min bookings My 8 pets are EXTREMELY LOVED and spoiled! They have their own closets, foods, toys and even a room dedicated to my cats and dogs in case they just need that alone time away from the humans ! They receive the upmost care for grooming and vet clinic as well! My wallet is never happy when it comes to my pets because I just find so many ways to love them and spoil them!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Urbancrest
Abigail was over the top incredible! So kind, communicative, and reassuring. She did great adjusting to our high energy pups, sent many videos and photos, and left our home in better condition than she found it. She was a joy to have and I'd recommend her to anyone!
Kayla was wonderful and incredibly patient with our fur babies. Our dog can be really shy and full of anxiety when we leave him but Kayla handled his care so graciously. She provided consistent check in’s to us on both our dog and cat which was great for peace of mind. Would recommend her to anyone!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Urbancrest walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Urbancrest maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Urbancrest choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
