Highly-rated overnight sitters - Richwood
“Tammi is wonderful. She is great at sending pics of Cookie while we are away. Cookie has stayed with her twice now and enjoyed herself each time over multiple days. There is a great yard for the dogs to play in and she gets lots of affection from Tammi and her husband!”
“Wonderful and amazing! Our Mabel loves coming to see Aunt Patty! Mabel is loved and taken care of and we know she is being spoiled! We love the pictures and Patty is great at responding to any messages from us. We are happy and blessed to have found Patty to love our 4 legged love bug!”
“Rachel is a gem! She truly treats our Teddy like a member of her family. I don’t need tons of photo updates because Teddy is actually sad when he comes home — he loves being with Rachel that much! She is an exceptional dog sitter, and we gladly travel 30 minutes for her services.”
“Abbie was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Mari. From the start, she was kind, understanding, and clearly very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. I felt completely at ease knowing Mari was in such attentive hands—Abbie kept a close eye on her and made sure all of her needs were met. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating when I ended up arriving later than expected for pickup, which I truly appreciated. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but Abbie exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Karen is very kind and caring. She cared for our two little furry dogs for 13 days, and during that time, she always checked on them and let us know how everything was going. We recommend Karen 100% and are confident that she will take care of your pets with great love and dedication.”
“Simon loved staying with Dana! Dana sent pictures throughout Simons stay and made sure to answer any questions we had. It was a home away from home for Simon. I would book again and I highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with everything. The Stamms are so nice and took great care of Charlie. They sent us updates and pictures during his stay. He was very happy and relaxed when we picked him up! Usually we get the cold shoulder and ignored when we bored him… but not this time! We will definitely be booking with the Stamms in the future. It’s so refreshing and reassuring knowing our pet is safe and taken care of when we are out of town.”
“Jane is amazing! I'm so happy I found her to dog sit while me and my family were on vacation. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing every day. Couldn't be happier!”
“Angel watched our Great Dane when our sitter fell through on short notice. Her and her kids did a great job with him and we appreciated her sending us regular picture updates. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Leeann has cared for our girl, Cami, on two occasions, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She provides excellent care, keeping us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Her communication is outstanding—always clear, timely, and professional. What truly sets Leeann apart is her dedication. When a snowstorm disrupted our travel plans, she didn’t hesitate to extend Cami’s stay for two extra days, ensuring she was safe and well cared for. That level of flexibility and kindness means the world to us. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does, we wholeheartedly recommend Leeann. Your fur baby will be in the best hands!”
“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!!!”
“Eliza took on our dogs on a short notice on a holiday week . And was AMAZING!!!! She sent us updates and pictures of our dogs and took great care of them. We highly recommend and will use again.”
“**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!”
“Amanda and Mike are great! Ashli loves them both and has such a great time when she is there. I never worry when my girl is there because she is well taken care of!”
“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!”
“Finny is nice and tired coming home from Holly’s house - I am sure from playing with Millie nonstop. ☺️ love getting the pics of them. Thanks for watching him again, Holly!”

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.
“Hannah is absolutely INCREDIBLE. She loved on our teething 3 month old Aussie with so much grace. She sends lots of updates which is great for us because we always feel bad leaving her. Thank you Hannah for your patience and time! We will be a repeat customer for sure!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Richwood
“Sadie and Lola had the BEST day playing with their new friends! I’ve had a lot of experience with Rover and could easily see that my girls felt welcomed and cared for throughout their stay!

“Angel is great! It was our first experience leaving our Zoey with a sitter. Angel kept in contact with us during the day and even sent pics. We brought Zoey back for a second stay 2 days later while we were on vacation so we could do our thing and we would be at ease knowing Zoey was in good hands. We would definitely use Angel again if needed.”
“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”
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.
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.
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter! Great communication throughout the entire day and took excellent care of our boy. It was wonderful knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Allison and her family are the BEST!!! They took such good care of our very little puppy ! He is still working on potty training and Allison was understanding and accommodating . Her dogs got along great with our new puppy!! She sent pictures throughout the day and made us feel at complete ease. Mylo did not want to leave their house, he had so much fun. Would Highly recommend !! Will be using again :)”
“Mary was awesome with our dog Olive! We had her stay for a few hours during doggie day care and she had such a great time! Mary had lots of toys for her to play with and gave us lots of photos of her during her stay. Thanks again!”
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.
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: 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.

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.
“Thank you so much Meghan for taking our little 4 legged ones at such short notice. Megan was awesome, warm and friendly. I recommend her to anyone who would be needing the care that she provides.”
“Kymberlee, was a God sent. We could not leave our Nordic breed dog in the RV even with AC as too many variables. I connected with Kymberlee and she was very welcoming and accepting on last. She is a great host for pets, loving and extremely caring. Our Louie had a great time and we received pictures and updates during the day. Highly give Kymberlee an above excellent rating”
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.
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.

“We've been working with Kasey for a few weeks, and she has consistently done a wonderful job providing weekly walks for our dog. She is responsible, always shows up on time, and ensures our dog gets his full 30-minute walk. She also goes above and beyond by providing updates after every walk. Thanks Kasey!”
“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.”

I felt completely at ease knowing Mari was in such attentive hands—Abbie kept a close eye on her and made sure all of her needs were met. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating when I ended up arriving later than expected for pickup, which I truly appreciated. It’s not always easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but Abbie exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“This was the first time we used Rover and we were so pleased to find Karen. She was a great communicator and made leaving our dog easy! I highly recommend her.”
“**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!”
“Amanda and Mike are great! Ashli loves them both and has such a great time when she is there. I never worry when my girl is there because she is well taken care of!”
“Amanda and Donnie seem like nice people and their dogs are well-cared for, which leads me to be pretty confident they treat your dogs with the same care. Stuart apparently had a great time and enjoyed playing with their dogs.”
“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!”
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.
“Finny is nice and tired coming home from Holly’s house - I am sure from playing with Millie nonstop. ☺️ love getting the pics of them. Thanks for watching him again, Holly!”
“Amy is the best and we are so grateful that she takes great care of Toby for us. If you are looking for someone to care for your dog the way that you do Amy and her family are the best option out there! Thanks again Amy!”
