“I had always used boarding kennels for my dogs and I am so, so glad I found Patricia on Rover instead! They were much happier and comfortable being in a home environment vs a loud crowded facility. Patricia is an absolute sweetheart who treated my babies like her own. I will continue to have her babysit from here on out!”
“Maggie and Jackson’s stay with Rachel was wonderful for them as well as for us. Rachel took great care of our fur babies and treated them as her own. They came home happy and tired with all the fun they had with the resident pups. I highly recommend Rachel and her family for all your daycare or overnight stays.”
“Dana was so good with my little dog. My dog is 10yrs old and very shy and timid. Dana took her out for a walk every couple of hours for a walk or let her out in yard. She didn't have any peeing accidents. She was so good to her. Dana also updated me everyday and sent me pictures of my dog during her stay. Sugar my dog was comfortable. I knew Sugar wouldn't eat much while I was gone that's the way she is. I came home a day early yet I let Dana keep the whole amount as tip. I would definitely use Dana again.”
“I think my boy, Ody, is happier at Karen’s home than he is anywhere else! She spends so much time playing with him and giving him love that he is always excited to go back. Highly recommended!”
“Rebecca took great care of my dogs! Her home was beautiful and perfect for my two fur babies! I felt so at ease with Rebecca’s communication about the dogs. She sent lots of pictures of them having a great time and perfectly happy. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a great environment and experience for your dogs! Will book again!!!”
“Deana was wonderful. Louie liked Deana and family so much he hesitated when it was time to come home. lol! Deana gave updates, pictures, and videos of Louie throughout his stay and treated him like he was part of the family. Louie was sick prior to his stay and they closely monitored his health.”
“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”
“Leeann was great! She sent us updates with pictures and took amazing care of our little pup. We were happy to know she had fun and met new doggy friends in the meantime.”
“Our dog, Buddy, stayed with Jenny for 9 nights and was very well taken care of. He got regular walks and belly rubs. Jenny also kept us updated daily with pictures and details about their day. We could tell Buddy was happy when we picked him up. He was very calm and relaxed. We were extremely happy with her care and will definitely reach out to her again for care.”
“Holly sent pictures and updates of how Jaxson was doing. She was super easy to coordinate a meet and greet ahead of time so Jaxson and her dog could meet also. I'm sure Jaxson and Millie had a great time running around their fenced yard together. Highly recommend!”
“As always, Mike and Amanda were amazing! Moose is still sleeping because he had such a great time playing and visiting! Mike and Amanda accepted on such a last minute impromptu mini vacation, and I was thrilled to have them again! I can't wait to have them watch my boy for our summer vacation! They are absolutely wonderful to work with and very accommodating! Until next time!👋”
“Ángel was great! She was very responsive and attentive since our first interaction. She sent us pictures of our Jack and let us know he was doing well while we were away. He is happy and well and we could have not asked for more. We will for sure book her for future sitting needs!”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Jane was amazing! She was attentive, two our dog and kept us up-to-date with how she was doing, including sweet pics along the way! Our dog is a bit timid, but it seemed to do very well in their home. We will definitely be using her again! Thanks so much!”
“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”

“There's just no one better than Brooke! She's the only human being besides me that my cats will actually let her pet them. Usually I get photos of them under the bed. But not this time! I've already referred her to a friend. Thank you so much Brooke! See you next time.”
“Mattie sent lots of pictures and very thorough updates. I always feel bad leaving my kitten but I felt better knowing Mattie was checking in on her. Thanks Mattie!”

About: I am a 31-year-old cat lover. Three years ago, I adopted an adorable kitten, Cora, who follows me around all day, and I have officially become a crazy cat lady. I will love your cat as much as my own. I grew up caring for my family's Pomeranian from the time I was 13, and I have hands-on experience pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. I am very responsible, and safety is my number one priority. Whether you need drop-in visits, playtime, daily photos, or just someone to hang out with your cats, I can help! I have a very flexible schedule and am free any time of day to fit into your routine. If you are out of town, I would also be happy to water your plants, get the mail, or do anything else you might need - just ask! I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet at home while you're away, and would be happy to meet with you before booking to make sure that I connect well with both you and your pet.
“Kelsey was great! She took care of my 3 cats when my husband and I had to leave town suddenly due to a death in the family. She responded quickly and was able to meet us within hours to go over the pets so we could leave asap. She made sure to give us a daily update with pictures of our babies. And she left our house so clean (cleaner than it was when we left). She empty and refilled the cats' litter box, cleaned the counters, and vacuum! We will definitely book her again.”
“Two of my cats have special care needs that make them more complicated than the typical cat, and everything went smoothly! Really appreciated the updates too. Thank you for taking care of my cats!”
“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”

About: My cat care experience comes from both volunteering at the animal shelter, where I help care for a variety of cats with different needs, and from my own two cats at home, who are a big part of my life. I love taking them on little adventures and sharing plenty of snuggle time. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong understanding of feline behavior and how to make cats feel safe, loved, and comfortable.
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day!

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. I have firsthand experience raising puppies, including my own golden retriever and various other breeds while growing up in my family. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets. I am patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will rarely be alone. My flexible schedule allows for frequent potty breaks, midday walks, and plenty of cuddle time throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and daycare every day of the week. I live in a comfortable townhome with a partially fenced backyard and spacious front yard. Safety is my top priority, I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood and I am very attentive to your dog’s body language and comfort levels on walks. I am very happy to take your dog on regular walks, and live in a neighborhood where there is a big park nearby. I treat your pets as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, secure, and right at home.
“Jax had a great day with Amy and fur buddies. The fenced-in area is very large with lush green grass. Jax also enjoyed the pool. Amy is a delight and has a great love for her pets and those she cares for. I thoroughly enjoyed the pictures and knew Jax was in good hands. If ever back in this area Amy would be my choice for doggie daycare!😍”
About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.
“Darla loves her days with Mary and Piper! We always know she is well taken care of, and she always comes home ready for a nice long nap😊 Mary has such a love for animals and she cares for Darla as if she was her own.”
About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
About: I am a very experienced pet owner and caretaker, I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cats. I’m very excited to have the opportunity to work with and give some love to each and every pet I meet. I hope to provide as much assistance to every animal lover who needs a little extra help. If you ever have any questions about myself, my pets or any other concerns you may have, don’t be shy to ask, I’m happy to answer all of your questions! It’s important to me that every pet is taken good care of and given every drop of attention I have to give, as well as their parents. I currently work from home, on my own time. which makes it incredibly easy for me to plan and schedule requests, just message me and lets talk dates and times! I have a fenced in yard for playtimes, as well as an isolated dog bedroom for crates, beds, toys, separated feedings, and any other needs your dog may have. I can always keep your pet separate from mine if you’d like. My home is set up to be accommodating for pets, we have 2 living rooms and a dog designated bedroom. The downstairs living room has a door for anyone who may need some time alone, and the dogs bedroom has my crates and extras for feeding times, sleeping, and for when we leave them alone. I like to keep things safe and not open the door for opportunities to flourish, that’s why all feedings are kept separate and done in their crates, and play times are closely monitored with full supervision.
About: We only take dogs up to 30lbs due to my daughter being afraid of most bigger dogs despite us having one of our own. We will give consideration to dogs over that weight if we feel it’s a good fit. We have recently begun boarding in our home again and have adopted a new goldendoodle Lincoln on 3/22/24. He will be about 60lbs once full grown He’s sweet and full of energy and loves to play with all dogs. I have had my own dogs for about 11 years and have also taken care of friends pets although usually in their own homes.

About: Your dog’s stay with me is designed to feel safe, predictable, and enriching so that it’s the perfect balance of comfort and stimulation. I run a structured boarding routine every day so pups know what to expect and owners feel confident about the care their dog is receiving. Daily Routine Includes: • Morning potty break & breakfast to start the day calmly and consistently • Indoor play and relaxation time to ease into the morning • Midday enrichment such as yard play, puzzle feeders, snuffle mats, and frozen Kongs • Afternoon quiet time for rest and decompression (dogs nap in crates or gated rooms with soft music and a frozen Kong) • Evening potty break & dinner followed by light play • Evening enrichment session with backyard time, training games, or cuddles • Daily photo update sent between 7–9pm so you can see how your pup is doing • Final potty break before bedtime • Late-night safety check to ensure everyone is settled and comfortable On weekends, when more hands are available, dogs enjoy extra outdoor play, supervised group time, and longer enrichment blocks. Every pup also goes home with a seasonal bandana as a fun, personalized touch to celebrate their stay. My goal is to provide a boarding experience that feels structured, safe, and full of love; exactly the kind of care I’d want for my own pets. I keep a steady rhythm throughout the day so dogs always know what comes next. Care is spaced out intentionally with time for activity, rest, enrichment, and evening wind‑down. This predictable flow helps dogs settle in quickly, reduces stress, and ensures every pup gets consistent attention from morning through late‑night safety checks. If your dog has specific routines at home, I’m happy to mirror them so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. Your dog’s comfort and safety come first in my home. I maintain a clean, supervised environment with secure spaces for rest, structured play, and enrichment. Dogs are monitored during transitions, given individualized attention, and separated when needed to keep interactions positive. I use crates or gated areas for decompression, follow owner instructions closely, and make sure every pup has fresh water, safe enrichment, and a calm place to relax. My goal is to create a space where dogs feel protected, understood, and genuinely cared for.
“Tiffany is AMAZING!!!!!!!! My dog is very anxious so naturally I was very worried about leaving her. From the first time Tiffany came over to walk Brooklyn she was so sweet & caring for her & it really put my mind at ease. She took her time with Brooklyn & made her feel comfortable with her. When we had to adjust our plans, it was very easy to do & she was extremely accommodating. I will definitely be rebooking in the future when I need to go away without my pup.”

“Melissa clearly LOVES dogs. Gracie loved her immediately and was happy to go in the car with her to the park for a walk. Gracie didn't last the entire hour and Melissa didn't pressure Gracie to walk farther than she wanted to. She read Gracie's body language and responded appropriately.”
About: I started babysitting at around 13, from then on through high school and into college, I found a love for caring for both animals and children. As I got older I began routinely house/pet sitting for my aunt who had 4 cats and my grandma who had 3 dogs. Most recently I house sat for a MSgt in Abilene Texas who had 2 cats and 2 dogs for a little over a week. Being recently separated from the Air Force, my schedule is flexible as I am seeking to ease back into work- while also maintaining flexibility, as I intend on being a full time student in the fall. If secured prior to July 1, I intend on curating my schedule to long term clients. I have an open schedule for now- but again fully intend on tending to future clients needs. I treat every pet as my own. that means with respect, patience, guidance as needed, and above all else - love and protection. I will tend to everyday tasks of living with the best quality of life in mind for each fur baby in my care.
About: After a break from pet sitting, I have decided to start taking bookings again for walking/drop-in visits. I am also open to overnight stays at your home depending on circumstances. I have always had a soft spot for animals. They bring me such happiness and I honestly feel like we are not deserving of the love that they give! I have great anxiety when I have to Board or find care for my own pets, and I strive to bring comfort and compassionate care to others who may feel the same way! I work from home which allows me to constantly be present for the needs of my own animals and the needs of pups that are visiting my home. I have a large fenced in yard in a safe community. Visiting pups will be treated like family and will be loved on and treated like one of our own.

When I first saved her she had really bad seizures but I took care of her. I helped her, and gave her all the love and care she needed. There was a point in time the vet didn’t think she would make it. But she is now 12. She moved from Mississippi to Kentucky with me and living her best life in KY. I also have a Golden Doodle who I trained, I was able to teach him basic skills but also to be a calm dog overall. He doesn’t bite, hardly barks. He turned out to be such a good boy! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Kentucky! I am home for the summer so I have plenty of time to play with dogs anytime of the day! Caring for pets at the client’s home involves closely following their routine. This includes feeding them on time, providing fresh water, showering them with love and attention, playing with them, taking them for walks if necessary, and keeping their living space clean and safe. Additionally, I always monitor for any signs of discomfort or illness and maintain regular communication with the owner to keep them informed! By creating a calm and loving environment, I ensure that the pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away!
About: Danielle and I have had dogs our whole lives and absolutely love caring for them. We both grew up with dogs, so we’re very comfortable with their needs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Danielle works a hybrid schedule, while I’m fully remote, so I’m home every day. We’re happy to work with your dog’s usual routine and schedule. We enjoy taking dogs on long walks in the morning and late afternoon, along with plenty of playtime throughout the day. We have a spacious 3-bedroom, first-floor apartment with plenty of room for a dog to feel comfortable. We also have a 1½-year-old son who loves animals, so your dog would be joining a loving family environment. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need a little extra space or quiet time around our son. We usually walk around our neighborhood, but we also have a dog park in our apartment complex for extra exercise, socialization and play! Since I work from home, I’m with the dogs all day. Occasionally I go skateboarding in the afternoon for a couple hours, which is the longest the dogs would ever be home alone. We take Ori out twice a day and feed him in the morning and evening. Our home couldn’t be safer. Of course the door is always locked and we keep Ori on a leash the entire time that he’s outside. We make sure to keep any food or other things he shouldn’t get into off the floor and out of reach.

“I had always used boarding kennels for my dogs and I am so, so glad I found Patricia on Rover instead! They were much happier and comfortable being in a home environment vs a loud crowded facility. Patricia is an absolute sweetheart who treated my babies like her own. I will continue to have her babysit from here on out!”
“Maggie and Jackson’s stay with Rachel was wonderful for them as well as for us. Rachel took great care of our fur babies and treated them as her own. They came home happy and tired with all the fun they had with the resident pups. I highly recommend Rachel and her family for all your daycare or overnight stays.”
“Rebecca took great care of my dogs! Her home was beautiful and perfect for my two fur babies! I felt so at ease with Rebecca’s communication about the dogs. She sent lots of pictures of them having a great time and perfectly happy. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a great environment and experience for your dogs! Will book again!!!”
“Danielle and her sweet family were so good to my pup! I felt confident and comfortable with the care she provided. I highly recommend her! Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“Holly sent pictures and updates of how Jaxson was doing. She was super easy to coordinate a meet and greet ahead of time so Jaxson and her dog could meet also. I'm sure Jaxson and Millie had a great time running around their fenced yard together. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of our boy. Jessica was great updating us with pictures throughout the weekend. We were very comfortable and felt like bear was in great hands the whole time!”
“As always, Mike and Amanda were amazing! Moose is still sleeping because he had such a great time playing and visiting! Mike and Amanda accepted on such a last minute impromptu mini vacation, and I was thrilled to have them again! I can't wait to have them watch my boy for our summer vacation! They are absolutely wonderful to work with and very accommodating! Until next time!👋”
“Dalton goes the extra mile in making you and your dog feel comfortable. Very pleased with our experience and will definitely be reaching out again! Very accommodating service and excellent with high energy dogs!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. I have firsthand experience raising puppies, including my own golden retriever and various other breeds while growing up in my family. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets. I am patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will rarely be alone. My flexible schedule allows for frequent potty breaks, midday walks, and plenty of cuddle time throughout the day. I’m available for boarding and daycare every day of the week. I live in a comfortable townhome with a partially fenced backyard and spacious front yard. Safety is my top priority, I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood and I am very attentive to your dog’s body language and comfort levels on walks. I am very happy to take your dog on regular walks, and live in a neighborhood where there is a big park nearby. I treat your pets as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, secure, and right at home.
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Madison was the best when sitting our dog Luna! She was able to take her on very short notice which we greatly appreciated. Madison was super responsive and treated Luna so well. She gave Luna all the cuddles and gave us plenty of fun and cute photo updates. We travel a lot so Luna will definitely stay with Madison again!”
“Amy is awesome!! Hazel had a great day playing with her and other new friends. Hiking, playing ball, chasing birds and running to get her zoomies out. This was a great experience. We recommend Amy very highly.”
“I am very fortunate to have found Laura! Based on her "About" info and all the great reviews, I felt my dog would be well cared for. We had a great first meeting with Laura which solidified my decision to hire her. Drop off was easy because of our first meeting. She had excellent communication! She sent pictures, messages and responded promptly to any messages I initiated. When I picked up my dog, she(my dog)was happy to see me and my husband but not eager to leave. That’s a good sign to me that she felt safe and was happy there! I 100% recommend Laura and hope she's available next time I need her.”
“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
