“My dog, Bear had a great time at Emily’s house. She was accommodating with my schedule and took great care of him. She sent pictures and videos. I will definitely request her again. She was amazing!”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“Brent is a good person and a great dog sitter. Maple and Mozzie's (Brent's dog) first meeting went great. They played very well together. The day we dropped off Maple at Brent's home, he and his wife were very friendly and inviting with us and our dog Maple. They explained everything involved with Maple's stay and activities in their home. He kept us updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely recommend Brent and Rover to other pet owners.”
“I will always see if Erin is available to watch our dog Hera. She is safe and happy with Erin and her husband and gets lots of walks. Erin is great with communication and easy to work with. We are repeat clients”
“Drop off and pick up was so nice and easy. Most of all I appreciated picking up my gal and seeing how relaxed and loved on she'd been. My girl will be anxious for hours if she's been alone or stressed, but she was perfectly relaxed and happy! So thankful!”
“Ann took excellent care of my dog, Max! She ensured that he got plenty of playtime, and sent me plenty of pictures and updates daily. She even surprised me by giving him a good bath! She also kept him an extra night when I got stranded at the airport. She certainly has a passion for caring for dogs.”
“Megan takes such good care of Sophie! Sophie is on more meds now that she’s older and Megan is so good about asking any questions and keeping up with the medication chart. We were unable to fly home after the Caribbean air space was shut down and Megan kept Sophie even longer until we returned. We appreciated it so much. We will definitely book with Megan again!”
“Communication and understanding and ability to accommodate on the fly was outstanding. Nova came back to me happy and relaxed. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone and will definitely rebook.”
“Valerie and Brian have a peaceful and clean home. They were kind and communicative. I appreciated the pics of our dog during his stay. He gets nervous around other dogs and did very well with their sweet dog Ollie! Wonderful sitters! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been caring for dogs most of my life and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I currently have a well-behaved two-year-old Shih Tzu, which has helped me stay consistent with routines, training, and daily care. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I treat every dog like my own. I work Monday through Friday during the day, but I am available in the evenings for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I have full availability on weekends for boarding and extended care, and I make sure every pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care around my work schedule. I can take your pets on walks, and all of the other essentials. I have two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. I can also crate train your pets if needed I do have crates if your pets need trained.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.
“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
“Kath & Jordan were so great!! This was my first time booking with Rover and they made the process so easy with almost immediate responses and lots of pictures! They made me feel very comfortable leaving my pup with them, and she came home worn out after having the best time! I would definitely recommend them!!!”
“Ana was great with my Maltese/shih Tzu. This is the first time she’s stayed with anyone more than two days, so we (me & dog) were both a little nervous for this weeklong stay. But Ana sent me a picture and video so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I’ll definitely use her again. Very pleased!”
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.

I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and two senior dogs who are calm and friendly companions.
“Jennifer was so great! She provided regular updates and best of all great pics of Jessie and her playmates. This was Jessie’s first time from the family members. I was a little concerned at first about how Jessie would react.

I would greatly recommend Jennifer and will use her every time we need a sitter for Jessie! She earned and deserves a five star rating.”

About: Hi! My name is MacKenzie and I have been a consistent pet sitter for a year now, but have pet sit on and off for friends and family since I was in early high school. I grew up with dogs in my home, so I quickly learned the ins and outs of feeding and caring for them (as well as properly cleaning messes, because everyone has those days!) I also grew up with many friends with cats, so I learned how to feed and care for them. I now have many friends who ask me to pet sit their cats and have quickly grown to love them as my own. When you book with me, I COME TO YOU! Your pets will never have to leave the place they know and love. I know leaving your fur babies is difficult, so I make it a point to respond to all messages almost instantly when I am not working my regular 8:30am-5pm job, and within 1-2 hours when I am at work. I have never met an animal who has not grown to love me very quickly, so I hope to get to meet your fur baby soon!

I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive.

Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands.

I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!

“Julie is the best. She took very good care of our senior dogs, particularly when one was very ill.

She had a big heart, and I could not recommend her more.”

I only pet sit in the client's home as I believe animals feel safer in an environment they know and trust. I also live in a small space where I cannot have more than my one dog, so bringing more animals home is not an option.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages for over 15 years. With two pups of my own, I’m well familiar with all stages of dog life from puppyhood to senior dogs. I’d love to live on your couch potato or take your active pup on a sensory walk to tire them out. I sit regularly for dogs and cats and even the occasional horse and goat! I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I specialize in morning or mid-afternoon drop-in or walks and can accommodate some evenings and weekends as needed.

“Piper (9 year old German shepherd) loves her walks with Conner! Conner does a great job with her. Piper isn’t the best with other dogs and Conner does a great job with making sure she’s comfortable on walks! I would recommend Conner for your puppy needs!”
“Kara was willing to work with my schedule when I desperately needed her last minute! She detailed what went on during her walk and took great care of my baby.”
“Ariel did a great job! Lots of communication and attention to detail. Plus a get acquainted visit with Waldo to make sure they were a good fit!”
About: Ever since I was a baby I have had a dog in my household. As soon as I could get a dog of my own I got Bentley, my German Shepherd/Coon Hound mix. I adopted him at only 6 weeks old back in 2020. Growing up neighbors would ask me to cat sit when they were on vacation which included changing litter, feeding, and playing with the cat daily. Additionally, I have been asked to help walk dogs and to house sit in the past! I live in the Hamburg area and work full time at the University of Kentucky. My traditional work hours are 8am-5pm M-F with an hour lunch break. I would be willing to carve out time in my lunch to walk or care for pets. I do not work weekends, and have the most availability to care for pets during that time! I am extremely trustworthy and will abide by any rules you have for your fur baby. I am experienced with crating, and have no concerns with helping to put your animal back in a crate after caring for it. My fur baby, Bentley, is also extremely dog friendly so if your animal needs socialization with another, I could provide that! Unfortunately, due to the nature of my living environment I cannot board myself as I live in an apartment.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and about 9 years of experience with cats. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I understand daily routines, different personalities, and the importance of safe, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing pet behavior and needs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m a stay-at-home dog mom, so pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get fresh water, regular potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, and attention. I also keep the home clean and respect the client’s space.

I was a little concerned at first about how Jessie would react. My fears were quickly erased and I now know Jennifer provides a great atmosphere for Jessie to deal with her separation from her family. I would greatly recommend Jennifer and will use her every time we need a sitter for Jessie! She earned and deserves a five star rating.”
“Laura was so great. She took great care of my dog. She took her on walks, gave me updates on how she was doing, and even took her to get an ice cream cone. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Laura and will forsure use her again soon!”
About: I provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has unique needs and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I can provide dependable pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I am a part time server and only have my schedule open for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for my serving job but don’t always work all 3 days. I can make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention and care. I communicate regularly with owners and am committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I maintain a clean environment, provide plenty of supervision, and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!!
“Aubrey was amazing with my pup!! So sweet, sent pictures every day and flexible with times. She had to give her several eye drops and pills each day and had no troubles. You could tell my dog loved staying with her.”
“Addie is fantastic!! We met her twice before we left town just to be sure things were all set— and our dog loves her. We were flexible about where she stayed with our dog- her house or ours- because we were gone for 16 days. She did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable with her. She sent pictures, responded quickly to texts, and Levi’s know how everything was going. Additionally, Addie is a genuinely nice person who is driven in her work as a dancer. We were very impressed with her. We are looking forward to many more trips, knowing our dog is safe and well loved in our absence.”
“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
“Nathan is great! He kelp my Pitt Krystee for seven days. Each day he sent videos and pictures of how she was doing! He treated Krystee as if she was his own! I highly recommend Nathan for pet sitting, and will use Nathan again next month when I go out of town again! Thank you Nathan for taking such good care of Krystee!!!”
“Amber was so sweet watching my dog Grace for a weekend trip! She even agreed to a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure my baby was comfortable! I appreciate the thought and effort she put into puppy sitting and hope to have her watch Grace again”
