Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hickory
“Olivia was absolutely awesome. She checked in multiple times a day with photos and made sure my dogs were well taken care and had an active routine everyday. She was great with communication. As an added bonus she was really nice to my kids even gave them so beach toys when she found out they had never been to the ocean. I cannot recommend her more. I had a bad experience with a kennel facility and I am so happy I went with Rover and Olivia. My dogs had a blast running around her big yard and wrestle and play her dogs.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Erin was awesome! Our dog has a good temperment but can get anxious and he seemed to have a great time! She sent us some great "check-in" photos daily, went on walks, was able to take the booking on short notice, and even helped us when we forgot our dog food. We eneded up having to cut our vacation short due to a hurricane, she was super accommodating and even checked in to make sure we were okay! We'll be repeat clients!”
“Amanda is an absolute gem!! We travel a lot so I use Rover quite a bit. Amanda was the best sitter that we have EVER had! She gave me so many updates and pictures! She really treated my boys like they were here own. She would cuddle and give them all the love! If you live in the Paducah area or visiting, she is definitely the rover to pick! Thank you again Amanda!!!”
“I cannot say "thank you" enough for watching and taking excellent care of my girl freya. Sara really is the best and treated my girl as one of her own. I appreciate all the photos and videos I received over the 4 days I was gone. I loved that freya had so much room to play and will most definitely trust her in your care again.”
“Jean was amazing! I have a high-energy Goldendoodle, and she was great with her. She kept me updated with photos where my pup was either playing with other dogs or happily doing her own thing. I felt totally at ease the whole time knowing she was in such good hands. Great communication, super thoughtful care!”
“Was great with our Archer, handle this Siberian Husky like a pro. Kept us updated and tons of photos of our baby. Will definitely use again for future vacation or trips that he can’t go with us.”
“Laura H. Is an awesome sitter. I was sent pictures and texts multiple times during her stay. I felt confident that Snuggles was well taken care of. I will definitely use Laura again in the future!”
“Glenn did a really great job with our Boxer, Stella. He kept us informed of how she was getting along the entire trip. He took her out for walks, sometimes multiple times a day. She is older and he had a lot of patience with her. We would not hesitate to book with Glenn again. He did a really good job with our girl.”

“Sebastian was an outstanding cat sitter. From the start, he was reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats. He took the time to understand my cats’ routines and personalities , and I felt completely at ease knowing my boys were in his care. He provided regular, detailed updates and photos, which were amazing. I have never been able to have such fabulous photos. I would absolutely recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and kind cat sitter.”
About: I have always had pets growing up, and have taken care of countless pets of all species, breeds, ages, and sizes for friends/family since high school. I love the challenge of winning over an animal that is hesitant around new people. The more stubborn they are to warm up to new people, the harder I try to win them over. But it is always at their pace and on their terms so that they are completely comfortable with me. Your pets will be loved and spoiled like they are my own. I am available during the nights for in-home pet sitting, with the option to pop in during the day to let your pet out and for feedings. When I care for pets in their own home I make sure that the pet owners show me where everything is located within the home for the animals, and leave emergency numbers such as vets in an accessible place in the case of emergency. I will take as much time with your pets as they need in order to be comfortable and well provided for.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hickory
“You truly can not find a better sitter for your baby than Erin. Erin was incredibly quick in responding, always gave regular updates throughout the stay, and truly was willing to work with me and my ever changing work schedule. I firmly believe Erin is probably one of the best sitters you can find on Rover - she’s the best one I have found. My new little puppy needed sitting (12 weeks) and she was more than willing to assist. I look forward to rebooking when I’m in town!”

All potty breaks and playtime are supervised, and I carefully monitor interactions to keep everyone safe and comfortable.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Hickory
About: I’ve always had/been around dogs. With that comes responsibility and loving care. I have experience with all sizes and willing to accommodate any special needs. I’m currently a college student at Murray State, almost all my classes are online besides on Tuesday. My schedule is flexible, we can work out a time/date together. I do go to church on Sunday, so I would need that morning/afternoon off. I am a big cuddle bug. I pay attention to the small details. I enforce rules while trying to add some tricks. I keep the environment light and I try to accommodate in anyway for my clients and their babies(dogs).
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I absolutely love my babies. I really love getting to spend time with animals, and even getting to take care of them! I work part time at a cleaning company so I have plenty of time to look after your babies! The only times I ever need is Sundays for church! I go by all of the house rules and feeding plans, and if it is needed, all of the cleaning needed while I am there!
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals, grew up on a farm, and currently live on one. I currently work with horses. I quit nursing to do something I love and work with animals. If I cannot give your animal the care I would expect mine to get for some reason, I won't take the job. I currently work with horses every day. I live on a farm where we have goats 🐐, horses 🐎, chickens 🐔, a pig 🐖, cats 🐈, dogs 🐕, a rabbit 🐇, and a guinea pig so I'm no stranger to animals. I care for my clients pets as if they are my own. If my scheduling conflicts with their care, I will simply turn the job down because it's just not fair to them. I'm not really about leaving them locked up. I enjoy playing with them, walking them, and getting to know their personalities.
