“Boone, and his family, are in love with Sharon D. She is extremely genuine and caring. She is very thoughtful and sent many pictures/videos while we were on vacation. Her attention to detail for our fur baby made us like her even more. This was our first time using Rover and she made the experience so simple and easy to trust. I would HIGHLY recommend Sharon D!!!”
“It was our first time boarding the dogs and so we were very nervous. But they did soooo well!!! We received updates two to three times a day, which helped my nerves at lot. Alycia was very flexible and able to work with our schedule. She and her family were very loving and treated our dogs like their own! I can tell they loved it there!! 🥰😌 Definitely will be booking again!!”

About: Hi! I’m a college student with 7+ years of hands-on animal experience, I live in a home with 6 dogs and grew up surrounded by pets my whole life. Dogs and cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love giving them attention, care, and comfort while their owners are away. I’m deaf, which has actually made me incredibly observant and attentive with pets. I’m very visually aware, patient, and always present with pets to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Your pets will always have my full attention, love, and supervision! My references can be my own 6 dogs :) Taking care of pets is my full-time job as a college student home for the breaks. I enjoy taking care of pets at home, at the dog park, walking around with dogs, and making sure they have a fun time. I care for pets by following their routine and instructions given by owners, ensuring food, water, walks, and playtime, while keeping them safe, calm, and comfortable in my home.
“My two dogs had a fantastic stay, also getting so much playtime and attention both inside and outside in the backyard. So happy they took great care with my dogs and that their kids were also super involved yet gentle with the dogs. I'll definitely use this sitter again!”
“Rachel was amazing and made sure we knew what was going on with King. She kept us informed via text messages and photos providing a peace of mind. She even offered a meet in greet prior to services. Will definitely use her again!”
“Jared and Waverly took excellent care of our puppy, Dutton. They sent us several pictures each day and even took him for a walk while we were gone. I definitely recommend Jared and Waverly to anyone who wants peace of mind that their dog is being cared for and loved properly. Thanks again Jared and Waverly!”
“As always, our dog loves hanging out with Elizabeth and Phillip. I know he can be a handful but they don't seem to mind. Really appreciate their patience.”
“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.”
“Heather took great care of my dog. She loved being there and I appreciated her taking pics of my dog while I was away. Will definitely use her again when needed. 😊”
“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Ian was amazing! He stayed in contact with us so we knew our baby was comfortable and happy. She is older, deaf, and not used to being alone since I work from home. He dealt with her laundry list of specific needs and never missed a beat. She made a new friend and we will be using him again if we ever have another need for extended care.”
“Sarah sis really great with our dogs. They came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Sarah took they on walks and allowed them on couches and beds. We are so appreciate of her and the positive stay had by our pups! Would recommend and book again.”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”

Cat caregivers near you - Bancroft
About: Hello fellow cat lovers! My name is Bella Letto. I have three cats of my own who are my entire world. Two were adopted as bonded kittens and one was adopted as an adult (a foster fail on my part)! In total, I have been a cat owner for five years now! Along with caring for my own cats, I have volunteered weekly at a cat shelter in Indiana called Animal Protection Association. Through this volunteer work, I have fostered cats in my home, as well. I am comfortable with cats in all stages of life. I have assisted with bottle-feeding kittens and have fostered a senior cat with chronic illness until end of life. I have administered a variety of medications to cats of all ages, including oral medications, subcutaneous injections, and fluids. Let me know how I can love your kitty like they are my own while you are away!
“Mary took great care of my cat, provided updates and photos, and even noticed that the toilet was running, let me know, and kindly assisted in turning off the water for me.”
“Tabitha was very attentive with Bigo. She ensured to communicate constantly with us. We recommend her, especially if you have an introvert kitty, they will come out of their shell.”
“Janet was great with my three cats while I was on vacation for 5 days. Aside from basic feeding and cleaning the boxes, she took time to hang out with the kitties and play with them during her visit. She’s very responsive and left detailed notes each time she checked on the cats. Janet also took a bunch of cute pictures for every visit. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dependable and sweet pet sitter!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Lauran made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond when any issues came up. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Joanna had been so nice and loving to our kitties when we were away. She paid attention to every detail and took great care. She spent good time playing with my cats, petting them and giving them lots of love and attention. I was able to put my mind at peace, trusting Joanna with my fur babies. Totally recommend her. ❤️”
“Taylor is fantastic! She follows through with our personal requests and frequently goes above and beyond. She’s also helped us out in a pinch when flight delays have forced another visit. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“Ashlea is a wonderful cat-sitter. She takes great care of our two Ragdoll cats making it possible for us to travel and not worry they are okay. She is punctual, follows all my detailed instructions and we come home to very happy guys! Simply the best!”
“Grace was an excellent pet sitter for our three cats. She was professional, responsible, and communicated clearly throughout our time away. We always knew how our cats were doing, which gave us peace of mind. She followed instructions carefully, was dependable, and treated our cats with genuine care. We would not hesitate to trust Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter”
“Emma did a great job watching our kitty while we were away. I Loved getting photos of her and she looked like she was having a great time! Emma was very easy to get a hold of and very accommodating.”
“McKenna was AMAZING! I had a horrible experience with Rover before and so I was worried to use it again. McKenna reassured me COMPLETELY! She followed everything we asked to make our time away from our babies smooth. Our cats adjusted great when we got back because of her interaction with them! If we ever go out of town again, McKenna will be the person I book!”
“Julia did great with our boys! Gave great notes at the end of each check in that let us know our boys were in good hands:) We really appreciate everything Julia did and highly recommend!”
“Alan was excellent with my cat's and provided great communication! Rory is usually very shy and won't come out for anybody but he was able to coax him out and give him some pets! 🥰”
About: I have had cats as pets ever since I was little and currently am a cat mama to my sweet baby, Aria. I am comfortable with feeding, giving medications and cleaning litter boxes as needed.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bancroft
“We were driving cross country and found Rachael so we could stop for dinner with family. Since we were not local we had no idea we crossed into a new time zone and we’re an hour late for drop off and pick up. I felt terrible but Rachael was wonderful with our pup and took great care of her. Would definitely recommend and send our pup to Rachael again. Thank you!”
“Angela and Stephen are so great! My two littermates had a great time playing with them today. They have a great backyard and live in a super cute quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood.”

Our dog was completely comfortable and had a great time in her fenced yard. We highly recommend her ! We gave her 5 STARS! Thank you Jessica”

I’d use her again next time we are in town.”
“Courtney was very professional and had good communication. She invited us in and introduced her family. She has a fully fenced in back. She also provided a complete pee/poop/eat/nap report. Daisy seemed very happy. We'd definitely use Courtney's services again.”

I also live close to a park that we can go to. I have a friendly German shepherd who likes to play with other dogs. I will treat your pet like they are my own and let them make themselves at home.

I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health.

About: I have helped raise a bottle fed kitten and cared for a senior beagle in his last year. I care for and adopt mostly adult dogs, but I haven't met one I don't like! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible to fit in lots of home visits with overnight stay possible! I have my own dog that goes out 3 times a day already, so fitting in pet care is a breeze! I have an apartment with 2 bedrooms where dogs can sleep separate from my own dog. My complex is very dog friendly with all pets on leash, and large areas to sniff and poop as well as a park & track in walking distance.
“Chris and his family were so great to work with! He kept me updated on how well the dogs were playing and even sent pictures when my dog, Jasper, picked up his kids from school. So cute! I would highly recommend!”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament.

I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".
“Lauran was fantastic while I was visiting Louisville for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby weekend. Her communication was top notch, always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the two days. I especially appreciated her flexibility when I needed to add an extra walk at the last minute, she was incredibly accommodating and handled it without any issues. It’s a huge relief to find someone so reliable and easy to work with when you're visiting another city for an event. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and adaptable walker!”

About: I’m a proud dog mom who knows firsthand how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. As a veteran volunteer at the KY Humane Society, I’ve spent years helping with behavior, enrichment, and adoption, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Beyond volunteering, I routinely care for friends’ animals and treat each one with the same love, patience, and consistency I give my own.

Your pet’s safety, wellness, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I look forward to giving them the care, attention, and adventures they deserve. Our world revolves around our two dogs.

From harness checks to reading body language, I ensure your pet feels secure, loved, and happy. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, and I will treat yours with the same care and attention as my own.

About: Hi! My name is Alex and I'm a lifelong animal lover! I’ve had dogs all my life but learned so much more when I started fostering in 2014. Over the years, I’ve raised four dogs of my own, fostered 8 dogs for three different rescue organizations in Kentucky and Ohio, and continue to volunteer with local rescues. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet as an individual—whether they’re energetic puppies, mellow seniors, or anywhere in between. I work second shift during the week and occasional Saturday’s. This gives me time in the morning to work with the pups and get them nice and tired for an afternoon nap! Crate training is an important part of my philosophy with dogs and I try to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. Your pet will stay in a safe, loving home that has a fully fenced back yard for secure outdoor time. I also have spare rooms if your pup needs space and time away from others when in new environment is needed or if they do not do well with stairs. We have three friendly resident dogs: Auggie (12 years old Staffy mix) Sgetti (5 years old husky/shepard mix), and Fern (7 months old rough coat American hunt terrier). I carefully manage interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe, and I will always prioritize your pet’s routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a day of activities, reliable walks, or a cozy and calm home-away-from-home, I’ve got you covered.
About: Have enjoyed the company and joy of cats and dogs for many years. Have taken care of puppies, kittens and elderly pets and realize the care that’s required. They’ll be treated as family. I work Monday through Friday typically with Saturdays and Sundays off. 6am - 2pm I work with DoorDash, shipt and Instacart so my time is flexible. I have 4 parakeets. I can work in four hour increments to allow for a day time bathroom break. Of course a morning and afternoon walk along with daily playtime.
About: I have traveled extensively through India and Central America and now that I am back home full time, I want to try to do all the things that I love to do, but I never had enough time to do. One of those things is taking care of my favorite animals. I love dogs and that is something that I want to experience as much as I can. For that, I just finished fencing my large backyard so I can accommodate my small or big friends. I am very active and playful....so I am excited and looking forward to having a fun time with my new friends. Hopefully you will find my house nice, welcoming, peacefully and large enough for your dog. I work from home, so your pet will have my full attention. I am active and energetic, so if needed your pet will have a good amount of activities I have a large fenced backyard and I can crate your pet if needed. Walks in the neighborhood or local park is always part of my day

“We had to find someone last minute to watch our dog Leo , I came across this website and started to read reviews , and if they would take a large dog like Leo. Most sitters didn’t take dogs that wasn’t neutered, or they wouldn’t take him because of his breed. Then I came across Grace’s profile and read all the amazing reviews and read about her history with animals etc , so we knew she was the one. Leo has never been with anyone else besides my fiancé , son & I but as soon as we dropped him off he was already loving it and grace. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and letting us know how Leo was doing. He loves her big backyard and I just know he loved it at Grace’s house. She was very sweet and you can just tell how much she loves and cares about all animals. 10/10 would recommend Grace and we need a dog sitter again we know who to call ☺️”
“Angela is the best of the best! Super easy to coordinate with, she took so many pictures of Yeti while I was out of town—it looked like he had an absolute blast. Cannot recommend Angela enough!”

“Tina was great with our dog! Sent pictures and updates of our pet every day. Super flexible with our times of drop off & pick up. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
