“Wonderful caregiver for my baby Harper! She socialized her, brought her on many walks and has a huge yard for her to play in. She also sent me many pictures and kept me updated on her stay. Kathryn will definitely be Harpers regular sitter! I highly recommend using her ❤️”
“I had an outstanding experience with Robert! He was very attentive, caring and went above and beyond in taking care of my dog Maggie. He provided regular updates and it gave me complete peace of mind. Robert’s home and atmosphere is perfect for taking care of animals. Very safe and loving environment. I will absolutely be using Robert’s services permanently in the future! Thank you again Robert for such a wonderful experience for Maggie and I! We will be seeing you again very soon!❤️”
“This was Lucy’s second time staying with Brooke and Jason’s family. We knew she was in great hands getting lots of attention and lap snuggles from everyone. We would recommend Brooke and Jason to anyone looking for a great sitter. So happy to have found them.”
“Brent was amazing with our 7-year-old dog! We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with him, and it was clear right away that Brent really loves dogs and genuinely enjoys taking care of them. He took great care of our dog, and we will definitely rebook him!”

“Maggie is sweet! Our dog seemed to have a great time with her, her dog, and cats. Her dog took a bit of time to warm up to our dog, but it seemed they became good friends shortly thereafter.”
“Sandra is always a wonderful sitter for our German Shepherd, but this time she really went above and beyond. Due to complications with our daughter’s birth, we were at the hospital for quite some time. Sandra offered to keep our shepherd for an extended period of time without issue. I also cannot thank her and her family enough for the kindness they demonstrated during this incredibly stressful time. I recommend Sandra without reservation.”

“Desha took care of our 2 dogs for a couple of days while out of town and we are so thankful of the great care she provided! She was so communicative and sent photos of the happy pups at bedtime and morning. Her cute kids also gave the dogs a lot of affection and the dogs loved that! I hope to book with Desha again in the future!”

“Angela was SUPER responsive and sweet with my dog! I ended up needing help 2 days before I was supposed to to out of town for the weekend and Angela was very quick to respond and help! I felt 100% comfortable leaving Charli with her and will absolutely be trusting her to watch Charli again!”
“Kelso was absolutely phenomenal!! She is truly an expert on all things related to cats, so my cat was in the best hands and I learned lots of new information on best practices to be a better cat mom :) Kelso gave comprehensive updates on a daily basis and really went above and beyond to make sure my little boy was comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend Kelso—my cat will definitely be back during my next trip!”

“10/10!! I can’t say enough great things about Martha! She is a very attentive, loving, and experienced sitter. She cared for my dog, Journey, as if she were she own. I loved that she’s also a dog mom, has a fenced backyard, and sends LOTS of updates and pictures. Can’t wait to book with her again in the very near future!!!!”

Amber was very accommodating, and responsive and continued to give us updates as we requested. She made sure that all of my puppy needs were met and maintained the same schedule. Thank you Amber for taking care of Simba! 🐾”

About: My wife and I live on a farm with plenty to explore! I’m a full-time teacher, which means patience, consistency, and understanding individual needs are a big part of who I am. I bring that same approach to pet care. I’m reliable, calm, and always focused on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and safe. When your dog is with me, they’re treated like family with plenty of affection, routine, and communication so you feel confident while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our routine. My wife or I are almost always home which allows us to give pets full attention and avoid any rushed or distracted care. We live on a spacious property where dogs have plenty of room to explore, and we make sure outdoor time is always supervised. We use secure tethers and leashes to keep pets safe while still giving them the chance to enjoy fresh air and play. Whether inside or outside, we stay attentive to where the dog is and how they’re doing. Our goal is a calm, safe environment where pets can relax, stretch their legs, and feel comfortable and cared for.
“I would highly recommend Tyler to take care of your pets. He not only fed my cats but also put food out for deer and birds (which i do) while i was away and gave me twice daily updates. I live in a remote area as well. Your pets are in safe and reliable hands with Tyler, i highly recommend him.”
“Caroline was awesome! She was punctual and friendly. My outdoor kitty had an injured paw that was on the mend, she checked on it to be sure it was still healing. My indoor kitty who is skittish around new faces even came out for some pets the second day! Thank you Caroline for taking good care of my fur babies and putting my mind at ease while we were out of town!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born, I love playing, walking and just handing out with them! Also i know the hardships it takes. I am a very available person, I do have a part time job but other than that I’m very free. I usually work a few hours every other day. I love going on runs which I enjoy very much to take a dog on, this could be a short walk or a hike! I’m very active but always love bringing animals with me even if it’s just to get a pup cup or play at a park!!! I currently have 3 dogs, and I watch my sister dog on occasion. My house has a fenced yard of an acre letting the 3 of them run freely. I’m very much for making an outside environment for dogs. But also believe in rest time. I usually spend time watching tv with my dogs or just laying with them
“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life. It’s one of my greatest passions and most of my life I would dogsit for anyone who would let me growing up. I would love to make sure all of the animals are safe and well cared for while their owners are gone. I currently go to school and work part time, but there is most certainly time for me to fit in helping these families with their animals when they need it. I do live in an apartment complex but I have many years of experience with walking dogs of all kinds so I could walk it when needed. As for as toys, a crate or bedding at my apartment, I don’t have much of that, but could get some if needed.
“Emily put my mind ar ease the minute I met her. I was gone for a week and did not worry at all about my cats, Cinder and Ella. The daily pictures and updates were especially nice! I hope Emily will be available and willing to watch them the next time I go out of town. I highly recommend her!!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages. What sets me apart is that I provide a loving family environment where dogs are treated like members of the family. My home is full of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and we take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am comfortable following feeding schedules, administering most basic medications, caring for senior dogs, and helping reinforce routines and good behaviors. My two kids also love dogs and enjoy giving them extra attention and playtime, helping create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for every furry guest. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for in a safe, loving home where they will receive plenty of attention and affection. 🐾 I am currently in nursing school only 2 days a week and my husband works for a healthcare company from home so someone will always be there for your pup. I treat animals as if they are my own children. I will keep them safe and satisfied while you are away so you can have a peace of mind wherever you go.
“Allison was absolutely amazing with Charlie and I am so grateful/happy I found her! She sent updates and pictures which helps when you are missing your favorite furbaby. Really grateful experience and so relieved I found Charlie’s second home when I have to travel.”
About: Im here to help offer the most relaxing experience for your animal. Also to assure that your animal feels at home and is getting the personal care that each individual animal needs. I do have 2 loving animals, a golden retriever and a corgi here in the home. There is always a family member here on the property full time. I have a large property for the animals to roam and a large section of it is fenced in. I love going on walks and doing outdoor activities and hope you choose to let your animals have a fun experience with our family. 😁 I run a business from the home. I'm always here and have lot of time to play catch! We're available for holidays and extended stays! I have a large fenced in yard with two loving dogs that love to play with other puppies. I live in a quiet subdivision in the country with lots of trees, grass and fresh air. If your animal feels more comfortable in a crate, I do have those options, but would prefer them to be able to roam free in the household.
“Cheyenne took wonderful care of our Jax. He had a blast playing with her dogs and made a new friend, Romero. Her kids took to him right away. As labs do, he got muddy and she went over and above by bathing him. She sent frequent pics and videos of him playing. We will definitely use her again if we are in the area again.”
“Ollie had a great time! Brent sent pics and was a great communicator! If we're back in Lexington, we will definitely have Ollie stay here again!”
“Sable had another wonderful, exciting, yet relaxing time with Jason, Brooke, their entire family, and their dog Toby. Thank you, Rover.com, and a special thanks to Jason and Brooke for your loving care of Sable. God bless you all!”
About: With your pets permission, they will be loved on. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life and have pet sat for over 5 years! The only days of the week where I’m out for more than 3 hours is Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am at home otherwise, the more time I have with your pet, the better! I do have two cats, so they will likely be separated from your pets in a boarding situation, but I live next to a dog park so it is easily accessible for pups. I have many cat toys and treat varieties as well.
“We needed a last minute day camp for our Jack Russel. She responded back right away. This was his first stay away from home. She sent pictures and messages. We are so grateful for her care!”
“Megan looked after my dog, Figgy, every day for two weeks during an especially busy time at work. I had never trusted anyone else to look after her before, so I was understandably nervous about how it would go. I honestly couldn’t recommend Megan enough! Figgy had such a wonderful time and was made to feel like part of the family. I never had to worry about her care or happiness, which was such a huge weight off my mind during an already busy period. Megan was incredibly welcoming, flexible, and caring, and it was clear how much she genuinely loved having Figgy around (and vice versa). I would absolutely trust Megan with Figgy again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Thank you, Megan and Parker!”
About: I have been taking care of pets (as a job) since I was only 10 years old. I grew up wanting to be a vet (until I realized I'd have to put animals down) and decided to just take care of them myself in my own home! :) In college, I actually specialized in canine genetics if that tells you anything about my obsession. I have one Great Dane, for now, who I spoil rotten. I have also had experience training, walking, and grooming pets as well. I don't think I've ever said "no" to taking care of an animal, and that's saying a lot. I'm that person that always gets random emails, calls, and texts asking to watch their pets because of what they've heard. Dogs are my passion, truly, they are my life and get all my love! I'd love to help you out! I will care for your pets as if they were mine, always given top priority and unconditional love! I will only accept the booking if it aligns with what you need specifically :) My favorite feeling and compliment is your pets trust in me. Those words, “he/she must like you” or “they usually don’t warm up to people this quick” is what I live for! I LOVE animals and they know it, so no need to worry about if they’ll feel safe, as I’ll do everything in my power to have them enjoy every minute we spend together!
“Excellent service and care of my pup Hope. Gave great insight and wisdom on additional care for her. Definitely feel as if she gave her a great start! Would recommend him for sure!”
“Selena was awesome with our puppy! She took great care of him, walked him a lot and he got to socialize with her dogs. He was also introduced to chickens and goats, every pups dream! She sent me a lot of pics throughout the day also. I'd highly recommend her!”

About: As a dog owner and foster, I have experience caring for senior dogs, nervous rescues, and multiple dogs at once. I prioritize individualized care, patience, and creating a stress-free environment. I work from home full-time, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship so pets feel safe and comfortable.

About: When I was around four, I started to go across the street and cat-sit for this empty-nest couple. They were older, and so they wanted to travel more. The lady owned two cats, a Birman and an Oriental Shorthair. The lady used to take them to cat shows, and they were her most prized possession. They had grandkids to see and wanted to explore as many different countries as they could. They used to say, "Maggie, you are so convenient, and I am glad that you are here so we can leave and do things that we love more often." My mom never once told me to go and do my job. I woke up and was ready to go see Bootsy and Bella. They moved when I was 16, and I was their sitter until the day they left. I realized that for people to do the things they loved, they needed an easy, stress-free, and affordable sitter for their animals. Anyway, I started a show kennel for my Italian Greyhounds because of her, and now this is my full-time gig. I run a full-time boarding and daycare facility at my house. I am open for boarding and daycare 7 days a week. I own show dogs, and so I am home training and working on my websites while the dogs have multiple areas and an outdoor fenced area to play. I work on my computer for 3-5 hours a day and play with and walk the dogs while I rotate in between that. I take lots of pictures during the day and have an instagram that I post them on. The dogs rotate among the kitchen, the basement, and the outdoor enclosure. All dogs have access to water 24/7. The outdoor enclosure has a roof, and I run a fan when it is hot, in accordance with USDA guidelines. If the weather is bad, I walk the dogs or just let them play together in the basement or kitchen.

“Sloane is an absolute gem. She is conscientious, dedicated, and thorough. She takes care of our basket-case of a rescue dog several times per week and has been our savior from the ridiculousness of his unending energy and anxiety while we’re away. Her report cards are filled with humor and have us laughing out loud every time. Cannot recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover since I was a kid. I have worked with and been around a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, fish, ferrets and more.

Currently I am the owner of 4 dogs, 26 chickens and 9 ducks. Every morning before work I make sure all of my animals have food and water, as well as making sure my dogs get all of their daily vitamins and dental sticks. Additionally my dogs get monthly flea/tick prevention and heart worm prevention. Right now this will just be a part time job but I am hoping to expand and make this my full time and only job. Currently I have open availability on weekends as well as morning and night availability throughout the week. Caring for pets is a big responsibility and I take pride in knowing animals will be safe with me. At the beginning of booking with me I would set up a meet and greet to make sure your pets are comfortable with me. After doing so, we would begin services. During services I will make sure to closely monitor your pets, keep them leashed while not in a fenced in area, keep away from road ways and other - potentially dangerous animals. I would also ensure timely medication, feeding, and watering schedules.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I grew up with a Yorkie named Simon. Then I adopted my first dog, Sam. She gave me loads of experience in pet ownership and many life lessons.

About: My first job was working at a vet clinic with dogs and 20 years later I’m still passionate about what I do! I am a certified pet care technician with a lifetime of experience working with dogs. Also pet CPR certified. I have a dog grooming area on-site at home as well. Can sent text and photo updates. Professional, experienced, and I love dogs. I Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work with dog rescue and dedicate my life to dogs bc it's what I love! I am a current member of APDT Association of professional dog trainers, working towards my dog training certification. I love all breeds but I especially love working with bully breeds. Many boarding facilities do not allow these breeds of dog. Most are just big cuddle bugs, and I am happy to oblige!
About: With your pets permission, they will be loved on. Pets in my care will be treated like family. I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life and have pet sat for over 5 years! The only days of the week where I’m out for more than 3 hours is Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am at home otherwise, the more time I have with your pet, the better! I do have two cats, so they will likely be separated from your pets in a boarding situation, but I live next to a dog park so it is easily accessible for pups. I have many cat toys and treat varieties as well.
