“Rachael was super responsive and able to take my Lillian for a few days when I had to leave town suddenly. Communication was great throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how Lillian was doing. Rachael took extra time to cook up chicken for Lillian when she was too nervous to eat her kibble. I really appreciate the care Rachael and Pat gave to Lillian and will definitely be reaching out again!”
“We love leaving our Maggie with Heather. It’s like a vacation for her while we’re on vacation. She gets to run and play in Heather’s backyard. She’s so happily and tired when we pick her up. We couldn’t be more pleased! 😊”
“We’ve used Julie twice now and she is nothing short of amazing. Our little girl loves it there and I know she is well taken care of. Julie is super easy to communicate with and very responsive! If you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, book her now!”
“Ebony was wonderful. Responded very quickly and made sure I was updated about my dog throughout my trip. My dog was extremely comfortable with her the entire time.”
“Heather and Chris have a pleasant and welcoming home and tended to my dogs needs appropriately. They are very friendly and professional. It shows that they are experienced. They sent photos every day Walt stayed with them and it was apparent that he was well cared for. He did escape their back yard once, as a huskey would, but they were quick to recover him and keep me in the loop about it all. They offer full transparency and are wonderful people. I highly recommend Heather and Chris, and thank them for caring for my husky.”
“Robin took great care of my girls. She took special care to be sure she had all the details to make them feel right at home. She communicated and sent pictures both days I was gone. I am very pleased with their stay and will definitely use her again.”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
About: Hello. I am a lifetime dog and cat owner. I have had rabbits and other small animals too. I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs, as well as cats. I had a golden retriever from 8 weeks old until he died at 14. I went through all the stages with him. I have taken care of dogs and cats for many friends over the years, and am an approved foster for LMAS. I work full time but my work is close and I am home most of the time at night, and lots on the weekends. I crate my dogs while at work for their safety and so they don’t bark and disturb the neighbors, as we have a dog door to the back yard. My dogs eat morning and night but I can also do an afternoon feed at 4 PM. I can walk dogs before and after work, and they can use the dog door and yard whenever I am home. My children and I will provide lots of pets, scratches and cuddles. Dogs will get walks and access to the fenced backyard. I have two adult dogs to play with but dogs can be kept separate if needed. I can provide most anything that is required to keep your dog safe, happy and healthy. I can do the same for cats. I have a gate that keeps the dogs out of the cat part of the house when needed.
“Dewey loved his stay with Elizabeth and Phillip. I am so thankful for the positive experience and prompt communication. I highly recommend their services.”
“Stephen and Angela were great! They were great with communication and setting up our dog's stay. We have an older dog who gets anxious at typical boarding facilities but she came home happy, tired, and well cared for. We will definitely use them again next time she needs to stay somewhere!”
“Crystal was the absolute best! It was a last minute trip away; and she went above and beyond! She took great care of my fur baby, and sent pictures daily! My service was a little wacky, but she continued to send me pictures and updates and it was so appreciated!!! It means the absolute most to be able to leave my fur baby with someone that keeps me in the loop and is trusted so well! Would 100% book again!”
“Always responsive and always super great with our two dogs. This was the second time we have used her and definitely will not be the last. Our dogs feel right at home with her.”
“Sarah, Daniel and their beautiful children did a fantastic job at making our Smokey feel loved and cared for while we were away. They sent pictures daily and updates so I could see how he was doing. They even discovered a dual feature on the cat bed that we missed! 10/10 for sure. Whenever we go out of town I will be sending Smokey to them…that is if they are not already booked??”
“Amazing!!! They took such good care of my baby boy! Took him on walks and snuggled with him. Treated my pup like he was apart of their family! 10/10 they are awesome”
“We loved having Grace keep our Bella girl! She gave up daily pictures and updates. She made sure our girl got lots of play time and outside time. So grateful for someone that treats her puppy visitors like her own!”
“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!!!”

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!
“Lauren has cared for our kitty a number of times now, and every time we come home to a happy cat! Lauren is great with her, easy to communicate with, and reliable. We’re so glad to have found her.”
“Eleanor always takes the best care of our cat while we are away! I always used to stress about who was taking care of him while I was gone and constantly worried about how he was doing. While she has been our pet sitter for the last couple vacations all my worries have been gone! She takes the best care of him and I could not recommend her more!”
“I was a little worried trying to find a cat-sitter with all the people who only talk about dogs, but it turns out Amanda likes cats too! I really felt like she gave them attention and love like they were her own. The check-in pictures were so cute, and I could tell they were well cared for. They definitely seemed less upset with me than when I've gotten home from previous trips, haha. Communication was easy, and I would definitely recommend her and call on her again.”
“Mary is amazing and I am so thankful for her care of my two kitties! She takes amazing care and is very thorough in her notes after doing a check in, and send lots of photos! 10/10 service.”
“We appreciate Rachael helping watch the cats while we're out of town. The cats enjoy the company. I also appreciated her suggestion of trying allergies meds for our one cat. We like to know that the cats are well cared for while we're gone.”

About: I have animals of all kinds growing up! From a mountain lion, up to 7 dogs to reptiles! I have been exposed to it all and things rarely phase me! I work remotely so I am free almost all the time with a lot of flexibility for all your needs! I can work from anywhere so it is around your schedule and preference for the most part. When watching pets in a clients home I will follow their care guide and ask any questions as they come up! I will also thoroughly clean up any messes the pets may make in the home.
“Tina was great! This was our first time with a new rover in a new city. She was very communicative, sent great photos, and flexible on a last minute booking. Her home has a great yard for a pup to roam. I would definitely book with her again. Felt very safe leaving our dog with her and her family :)”
“Sarah & Daniel are my go to sitters for our fur-baby! Blue comes home so happy and worn out each time he spends a day with Sarah & Daniel. It’s truly the best, they take the best care of him!”
About: I have experience with both young and older pets. With puppies and kittens, I stay consistent with routines and can help reinforce basic training like potty habits, feeding schedules, and positive behavior. For senior pets, I’m gentle and attentive to their needs, whether that means giving medication, moving at a slower pace, or just providing extra comfort and companionship. I also make sure pet owners feel at ease by keeping communication open—I can send updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, and I’m consistent with routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra visits, longer walks, or special care. I’m reliable and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and kept on their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions, give fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of exercise and attention. I also provide playtime, affection, and calm companionship so they feel at ease while you’re away. I keep the space clean and always respect the client’s home just like it’s my own.
About: I cared for (and spoiled) many relatives' pets when they went on vacation through the years. I also lovingly cared for my elderly parents for over a decade. I am a creative and crafty person, and I enjoy painting, sewing, and gardening. Being home most of the time, I would enjoy the company of furry friends! I only use natural cleaning solutions in my home; pets are provided filtered water. Common sense safety precautions that would be taken with any pet or with small children are implemented.
“Our dog loves going to Emily & Pedro’s!!!! He is always running up to their door every time we come over. Always super responsive and send lots of updates and videos.”

“Gabriella is wonderful and took great care of our Husky, Moose. She sent tons of pictures of him and Yeti playing, running, and playing some more. Yeti was great with Moose, and he has another friend to play with!”
“Stephen and Angela provided daycare for about 2 weeks for my pup. They took great care of him and were very understanding with schedule changes. I would recommend them!”
“Melody was so amazing. From when I made a request to pick up. My baby was so happy when I picked him up and also came home with a goodies bag! Would definitely take my boy back there if I ever have daycare needs. Thank you, Melody!!”
“Colin was absolutely amazing! I found him on short notice and he was super accommodating. I have a yorkie puppy who seemed to play fabulously with his Yorkies. Pups came back super tired from all the play time all while Colin kept me up to date with photos throughout the day. Highly recommend and will use again!”

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!”
“Booked Courtney at the very last minute for a 1 hr walk for the first time and she was able to accommodate and get my boys. They enjoyed their time and she cared enough to towel dry them after their walk as it was raining. Booked again for boarding and she was always informative, reached out with any questions to make sure she provided the best care and daily updates with pictures etc. she made sure they got comfortable being in a new space as well. Xoxo”
“Annie is the most incredible dog sitter/dog walker, etc. Blue is so happy to see her every time she visits and I know he is in the best possible hands. I trust her entirely!!”
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. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. 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".
“Grace works patiently to gain the dog’s trust. Her questions demonstrate true care and concern. She ensures she is walking at the dog’s pace. Grace is professional, kind and considerate. I feel honored to have met her and trust her completely with my dog.”
“Lauren is amazing! I have two dogs, a senior and a puppy, that have different needs. She worked with me to plan their walks and communicated wonderfully. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Lauren to help take care of your fur babies!!!”
“Sam is just an amazing person and she takes great care of my dog Bucky, when she walks him...he can be a challenge but she is so sweet and patient with him, and he loves her to bits. He gets so excited when she comes, and not only does she do a great job on the walks with him, but she goes the extra mile in other ways and is a kind and caring lady that just brings a bit of sunshine in when she comes. I do recommend her, she is wonderful.”
About: I've had my own dogs and a cat my whole life. Additionally I got my first horse at 12 and have been around large and unique animals forever (even pet deer and alpacas!) From my baby Miniature Pinscher to my Great Dane I am capable of providing individualized care. I am currently a student athlete at DSU. I ride on the equestrian team so after my one in person class I am typically in and out of the barn with lots of time to spare as everything else I do for school is online. Pet care fits into my routine as a priority. I recently moved to Dover for school, and miss my dog terribly. Prioritizing your dogs in my schedule is not just a job for me, but a source of happiness! We have a large backyard for fetch and a safe neighborhood for walks and adventures! One block over we have a small park area as well. We have no other animals in the house, just four college girls who are all missing our companions from home. In the house your dog can roam freely about and sleep in my room/bed with me, whatever they are comfortable with.
“Elizabeth is very sweet and responsible and my little dog Charlie absolutely loved her. She's also very flexible. I had to change the time for a dog walk and it was no problem at all. I highly recommend her!”
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. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks, or a shy dog who needs gentle encouragement, I’m ready to meet them where they’re at. 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. As we both work from home, my husband and I are always present, loving, and devoted to pets. Safety and care are always at the heart of what I do, both on walks and within my home. As a devoted dog mom and longtime KY Humane Society volunteer, I know how important it is to protect pets while giving them loving attention. Our home is fully set up with your pet’s safety in mind—we have a secure fenced-in backyard for exercise, dog-proofed rooms, and baby gates to create safe, comfortable spaces. I closely monitor every pet, avoid unsafe situations, and tailor care to each animal’s age, energy, and temperament. 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.
“I have an old and sensitive GSD that I am normally very protective over; I had to leave her for a week and the whole time I felt my dog was completely safe and attended to in Kathryn's hands. She provided meaningful updates and expressed genuine affection, support, and care for my animal. I would definitely have her care for my dog again.”
“Liz was excellent with Sophie. She took multiple pictures, was flexible, and gave relevant information in her notes. She was by far my favorite Rover person and I would strongly recommend her. My Sophie really like her a lot!”
