“Samantha was absolutely amazing with my cat! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly truly cares about animals. I received updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind, and I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty and everything well cared for. I would absolutely book with Samantha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. Thank you again, Samantha!”
“First time using Kelsey for our pet sitter! She was great with both of my fur babies. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up time. I also liked that she wanted to do a meet and greet before sitting them. No other sitter on Rover has requested or said anything about doing that. Kelsey also provided updates throughout Tink and Trig's stay. I highly recommend her for pet sitting needs!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life and truly understand how much pets are part of the family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—both my own and those of friends and family. I’ve provided overnight care as well as extended daytime stays, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. I know how important it is to have someone you trust watching your pet, so I treat every dog like my own—with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your dog comfortable and on their normal routine. When caring for dogs, I focus on consistency and comfort. Before the stay, I like to learn your dog’s daily schedule—feeding times, walk routines, favorite activities, and any special needs. During their stay, I stick as closely as possible to that routine so they feel secure and less stressed. I also take time to get to know each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they love to play or prefer a quieter environment. You can expect regular communication and updates so you feel confident your dog is in good hands. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for your pet. My home provides a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I always supervise dogs while they’re outside. I’m careful about doors, gates, and interactions to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have to maintain your dog’s routine and comfort. You can count on updates so you feel confident while you’re away.
“Shelby has a love for dogs where you need not worry about your fur-baby in her care. She opened her home and her heart to our little dog. The pictures she sent during our away time, let us know that JoJo was content and happy. Administering his medication was no problem for Shelby. As an added bonus, she had washed his bowls and laundered his blanket and packed ready for pickup. We sincerely recommend Shelby’s home for your dog’s vacation while you are away!”
“Daniel and his family were great with Kallie. She was able to get a lot of play time in to tire her out for our long drive home. Daniel was very friendly and I'm glad he was able to care for Kallie. ”
“Our pups always have a great time with Allison and Kenneth! They are so flexible and easy to work with and send the best picture updated so we know our babies are happy!”
“This is my first time having Stephanie taking care of my dog while I'm out of town for 3 weeks and I'm very glad I did it. Before I commit anything Stephanie is very considering and patient to set up a meet & greet to ensure it will work out. Stephanie also sent me updates and pictures so I can see my dog is doing great without issues. I would definitely recommend Stephanie to my friends or anyone looking for dog boarding.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I give every pet the attention they deserve. I am dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to treat every pet like they are my own and provide owners with peace of mind while they are away. I can work most of the time and have a very flexible schedule, especially during the weeks before I leave for college this fall. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, including feeding, walks, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I am reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent attention, care, and affection while they are with me. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise requirements, and any special care requests. I maintain a clean and secure environment, monitor pets closely during walks and playtime, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. I focus on building trust with both pets and owners by providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care.
“Penny and the whole family are super sweet and perfect to watch your dog my dog Sherman warmed up very quickly and even slept with her teenage son. Definitely will use them again because I have busy work weeks at times. Sherman is a bit much sometimes when he sees other dogs a bit reactive but Penny kept an eye on him and never went out without his leash and collar and made sure all dogs weren't out. He had a blast came home and ran around like a puppy again. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child, but have had my 3 cats for 13 years now. I recently moved, so I let them live with my mom sadly, I do miss them. Outside of my cats, I have helped walk and care for other dogs the past few years. If you give special instructions on how you would like for me to care for your dog/cat, I will do exactly that since I will be coming to your place and/or walking them. UPDATED AS OF 6/16/26- for now please refer to this update until life gets less busy. I have a 2 year old so I cannot watch your animals at your home at this current time, but I would still love to drop in and take care of them through the day or take them on walks. I can care for them at my home also. The hours listed below are still correct 😊 I work Monday-Friday until 3:30pm, but I can also come before work, take my lunch to let your pups out for a potty break half way through my shift! I always am off on the holidays. I do have every Saturday and Sunday completely free. After 3:30pm on the weekdays I have the entire day to spend with your animals :) I will follow all your instructions you give me for caring for your animals. I will always treat them like I would my own animals!

I will always play with them to get them to exercise and have some fun.

About: I'm Sean, a lifelong dog owner offering Boarding and Doggy Day Care. I work from home full time in Oldham County, steps away from great dog walks along the Ohio River. Your dog gets supervised attention all day, long outdoor walks, in a friendly and fun environment for dogs of any age, breed or size. I lost my dog of 14 years in early 2026 and I'm channeling that love into caring for yours. Taking good care of your pet allows me to do something I truly enjoy while giving you peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am available full-time and every dog is unique, so you can expect that I will tailor each day to your pet's age, energy level, personality, exercise requirements, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. Mornings will include an early morning potty break and outdoor time, breakfast according to your dog's normal feeding schedule, a walk, play session, or quiet outdoor exploration depending on your dog's preferences. There will be plenty of attention and companionship as the day begins. Throughout the day there will be multiple supervised outdoor breaks in the spacious yard and surrounding dog friendly areas. This will include long walks, short walks, play sessions, or relaxation time based on your dog's needs. Fresh water will be available at all times. There will be frequent interaction, supervision, and companionship since I work from home and there will also be comfortable indoor rest periods between activities. Afternoons and evenings will include additional outdoor exercise and activities, dinner according to your dog's established routine, relaxation time indoors with plenty of attention and affection, evening potty breaks and if necessary a walk before bedtime. Individualized care is important for your dog's well being, so before your dog's stay, I will learn about feeding schedules and dietary restrictions, medication requirements, favorite activities and exercise preferences, commands and training cues your dog responds to, sleeping habits and comfort needs and any special routines that will help your dog feel at home. My goal is to maintain as much of your dog's normal routine as possible. During your pets stay your dog will enjoy exercise, companionship, and personalized care. Long walks and adventure or a relaxed day of lounging and affection await so your pet will feel right at home. For safety, dogs are always walked on leash. I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet, either in person or by video call, so you can feel completely comfortable before booking.

“Shelby was FANTASTIC with our Sherman. He was very nervous when we left him (he has separation anxiety). Not only did he seem to do well after we left (the pictures she sent us spoke volumes about his mood), but when i picked him up he was excited to see us as always but instead of running straight to the car and waiting at the door for us as he usually does when we pick him up from someone he did a couple of excited circles and had to run back to give one of Shelbys pups a kiss goodbye. He often stays with my sister and he loves her and her dogs but he never runs back to the door for any reason. He was so relaxed and clearly worn out feom playing so much. Shelby is terrific. You xan certainly entrust her qith the care of your fur-baby with confidence!”

I request to meet the dog with the owner prior to any commitment to ensure they are comfortable with me. I took off house sitting temporarily due to past houses being unlivable. Anything else you would like to know, I am an open book, please feel free to ask! I currently work full time from home as well as dog training once a week as of now. My husband also works from home so someone is available to monitor at all times! My work schedule will be changing soon, however should have the time to do drop by visits if near by. I have two friendly and playful dogs that could be entertaining, but also know how to be patient when necessary. I also have a baby gate to separate pups, if need be.

About: I have special needs pets at home that require require extra skills as well as patience. I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. I am also a certified veterinary technician, I cannot prescribe medicine or diagnose any conditions in your pet but I have an abundance of skills to make sure your pet is properly cared for in my presence. I also work during the day so care will be before work, during my lunch, and when I get off of work. I am willing to take care of any dog unless they are for some reason aggressive towards me, but I am still willing to meet them and try to become their friend. I am also willing to care for any feline. I am an animal lover and always have been and I will treat your furry kiddos as I would want all of mine treated ❤
About: Growing up surrounded by animals has shaped who I am as a caregiver. I had a cat and a bunny as a kid, and we always had at least two dogs at a time. Over the past year, my family has had six dogs, and I currently care for my own cat and golden retriever while also helping with my parents’ five other dogs. This constant hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities truly sets me apart from other sitters. I understand animal behavior, routines, and comfort needs on a deeper level because it’s been my everyday life—not just an occasional responsibility. My care is calm, consistent, and patient, and I always treat pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s something I genuinely value, and it would be a dream to care for someone else’s pets as if they were part of my family. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because my schedule is already flexible and structured around mornings. I work part-time at Starbucks on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, mostly in the early hours, with only one additional Friday afternoon shift. I’m also a student, but I currently take just two classes, and my semester is almost over. Starting next semester, all my classes will be fully online, giving me even more availability throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to devote consistent time and attention to pets, making sure their walks, feeding times, and check-ins are never rushed. With so much open time in my schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, calm, and attentive care whenever it’s needed. I care for pets with the same calm, attentive routine whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home. In my own space, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by providing a clean environment, consistent feeding schedules, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. I’m used to managing multiple animals at once, so keeping up with routines, energy levels, and comfort needs comes naturally to me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to maintaining the routines their pets are already used to—whether that means specific feeding instructions, preferred walk routes, or favorite playtime habits. I focus on creating a smooth, stress-free experience for both pets and owners by keeping things consistent, reliable, and tailored to each animal’s needs.
About: I have always been a natural animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I have regularly helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, walking, and giving lots of attention and love while they’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers a calm environment and extra snuggles, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am happy to provide updates, photos, and consistent communication so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your life easier and ensure your pet feels loved every step of the way. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate multiple check-ins per day if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know it takes trust to leave your pet in someone else’s care and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I take time to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. During visits, I ensure doors are secure, food and water are refreshed, and the environment is kept clean. I provide a calm, low-stress environment and treat your home and pet with respect and care.

“First time using Kelsey for our pet sitter! She was great with both of my fur babies. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up time. I also liked that she wanted to do a meet and greet before sitting them. No other sitter on Rover has requested or said anything about doing that. Kelsey also provided updates throughout Tink and Trig's stay. I highly recommend her for pet sitting needs!”

We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process.

Will definitely book with him in the future.”

“Penny and the whole family are super sweet and perfect to watch your dog my dog Sherman warmed up very quickly and even slept with her teenage son. Definitely will use them again because I have busy work weeks at times. Sherman is a bit much sometimes when he sees other dogs a bit reactive but Penny kept an eye on him and never went out without his leash and collar and made sure all dogs weren't out. He had a blast came home and ran around like a puppy again. Will definitely be using her again.”

“Joy took care of my 6 yr old poodle mix on very short notice so i could make a very important week-long personal trip. She took right over and took excellent care of a picky eater, but lovable 10 lb dog, whom is my baby. She sent me photos while i was gone to let me know how she was doing, and so i would not worry. I would recommend Joy. She obviously loves dogs. Edie M.”
