Highly-rated overnight sitters - Thixton
“My maltese, Lily, stayed with Julie and her son. They were wonderful in every way! She sent me daily texts and cared for her like she would her own. Excellent experience! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Wow, I’m speechless just how amazing this experience was not only as a human, but my puppy was happy and clean when I came back. Heather is truly an angel and I can’t speak to what a blessing she was for us to leave our fur baby! 10 stars! Can’t thank her enough.”
“Heather did a great job making us feel comfortable that our dogs were being cared for. She sent multiple pictures showing the dogs getting to play outside and even cared for them during some really bad storms. I would definitely reach out to Heather again in the future.”
“She did an amazing job and kept in contact with me throughout the weekend, Sent plenty of photos and even taught him a new trick. Will definitely be asking her to watch him again.”
“Crystal was an amazing pet sitter!!!! Crystal’s home was very clean, she was professional and a very sweet family. The whole time she kept us updated with pics and videos. Communication is key and she understood that giving my anxiety about my fur baby being away from me for the first time. Very much treated my Ozzy like her own. Ozzy and her dog Tank were like cousins lol. I will definitely keep booking with Crystal! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!!! 🤩❤️”
“I was very, very happy with Lynne. She watched my dog, Buddy for 4 days, and sent pictures and updates every day. I could tell he was happy, and I was especially glad that she has an fenced in back yard, and that she let him on the furniture and her bed, because he's spoiled! I will definitely let him stay with her again. Great experience!”
“Ebony was wonderful with my big guy. It was his first time having a sleepover with a sitter and I am beyond grateful for her patience with him. As well as with me and I would recommend her every time.”
“Rachel and Frank were WONDERFUL!! My Boston Terrier Sadie was treated like a family member of theirs. When I picked her up she was completely happy and healthy and they sent me updates and pics of her daily. I couldn’t have asked for a better home for her to be at and we feel blessed to have found them.”
“Beth was so patient and kind, I have never left my dog with a non-family member and she's a little codependent but Beth (and Tupac/Kiddo!) were so sweet and made her feel at home. She sent updates over the weekend and was amazing with our pickup/drop off schedule and my anxiety. Thanks so much!”
“My dog’s stay isn’t even over, but I am so glad to “see” her having fun. Melody is personable and goes above and beyond to take care of not only my pup, Stella, but others’ fur babies as well. She does a great job of updating you with photos during your dog’s stay! I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Thank you so much! This was our first experience using Rover and overall, it was a good one. Shunita was great and flexible in allowing us to come and pick them up at the end of our night so we didn’t need to leave them overnight. They were kept in kennels but Shunita said she lets them out every 2-3 hours to play in the back yard and go potty. Our puppies are on the larger size and not used to being kenneled or separated so, in the future, I will likely look for someone that allows them to join into a family atmosphere where they can roam & play freely. A smaller or older dog w/lower energy would do great, or a dog that’s used to being in a kennel. (That’s just a preference thing for the current puppies we have.) Shunita was very nice and made me feel relaxed and comfortable in leaving our puppies for the day.”
“Scott was great! He kept us up to date on how our fur baby was doing, sending us a bunch of pics. We had tobextend our booking and he accommodated that with no problem. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Sharon is absolutely amazing! My boy is a very anxious boy and has severe separation anxiety. Sharon had him so comfortable and settled almost immediately. I am so grateful to her for the care and love she gave Salem while I was out of the country for two weeks. Sharon provided me multiple daily updates complete with adorable videos of Salem. Her dog, Wes, was the perfect buddy for Salem too! Her fenced-in yard is fantastic for doggies to sniff and play in. I was so nervous to leave my boy for so long, but having Sharon as his sitter truly made all my worries disappear. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when I had a flight delay. I cannot recommend Sharon (and Wesley!) enough!!”
“Tina was very accommodating with our dog. My dog had high anxiety while she was there and Tina was able to figure out what worked best for our dog. Will definitely use her again soon!”
“Marissa was great. She sent us daily pictures of our dog and gave us updates as well. He came back to us absolutely exhausted. I feel it was better than dropping him off at a kennel. We will definitely be using her next time we go out of town!”
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.
“Amanda was amazing with our 4 year old Vizsla. She treated her like a queen and helped our anxious dog feel right at home. I will definitely use Amanda again and can’t recommend her enough.”

“This is the first time using Rover and Jorie has been awesome. She communicated very well with me and helped solve some issues with the app. Her knowledge and caregiving for my cats was excellent and she genuinely enjoyed taking care of my cats. Overall great app and even greater caregiver. Thanks Jorie!”
“Allison has watched our cats twice now while we are out of town and has been wonderful each time. She keeps everything tidy, makes sure they’re fed and have fresh water, and always sends updates and photos after each visit. It’s such a comfort knowing our cats are in good hands while we’re away!”
“Couldn’t have asked for better! She was reliable, communicated great, and was very thoughtful and thorough. She handled everything we asked of, and more. She truly went above and beyond and we are so grateful for the peace of mind she brought us while we were on vacation and worried about our cats :)”
About: I grew up with a tailless, health-fragile Manx cat who lived to 18. Through him and some of my friends’ and family’s cats, I am experienced with administering medications, cleaning messes, and going the whole nine yards to make sure these furry little babies are happy and comfortable! I also adopted a 4 month old kitten a few years ago who is a happy boy nowadays, so I am also experienced with kitten care.
About: Your dog will get the attention and love you provide even while you are away with lots of cuddles, potty breaks, walks and playtime. Our family dogs are members of our family and while yours is here- they will be too! Feel confident your pup is being cared for, played with, and loved on while you are away. I currently have one resident cat (figaro) and 2 small dogs (Ozzie and Hopper both Boston Terriers). Both are friendly towards both cats and dogs and love to play. Also have 2 older teenagers in the home that will play and give visiting puppies and dogs extra attention and affection. I would love to care for your fur baby and look forward to hosting in our home. I work from home so can be available for as many potty breaks as needed. I can provide any schedule that your dog is used to already. I have two friendly dogs to keep your up company. Dogs can be crated at night or sleep with us in our bed whatever you prefer.
“Brittney is "One of the Best" on Rover...She is very caring and shows up for the animals she cares for...My cat Eddie always is very happy when i get back from a trip...I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great Sitter”
“Miranda does a fantastic job caring for my fur-babies. She always goes above and beyond, leaving pictures and plays with the one that will come out. I plan to get away more now that I know Miranda will take such good care of my boys.”
“Amber was awesome! She was meticulous and took great care of my kitties (and one of them is pretty high maintenance). She was on time and took care of everything that was requested. She even went above and beyond! 10/10 would book again.”
“Rebekah was AWESOME. She sent pictures every time she visited my pup and went above and beyond when she was there (even took out my trash one time). She was very accommodating and thoughtful! Highly recommended!!”
“Jessica rocks, she is sweet and kind to my cats and dog. She was very patient and understanding with my date changes. Also, very reliable I highly recommend her as a sitter for your babies;-)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for well over 4 years and have had the pleasure of watching some of the sweetest pups. I’ve dealt with dogs on a schedule, some who require medication and those who need some extra snuggles. I will take the time to learn the care your pet deserves. I work a full time job during the weeks but will ensure all pets are taken out before I leave and return as soon as possible to allow them to be taken out again, I spend my afternoons with the dogs and try to provide enrichment play so they don’t get bored. I’m available all day on weekends so the same things goes. I normally stay with at a clients home to ensure dogs have minimal stress dealing with new environments. I follow any schedule my client has given me, from early morning walks at a dog park or allowing them to roam their fenced in yard while I prepare any food or water that is left while I’m away. I enjoy playing with them in the afternoons and getting them tired and rewarding them with treats when necessary.
About: I have been a pet sitter for 3 years and I used to work at one of the best dog hotels in Louisville Petsuites. I was there for 7 years. I have also had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been the go to for caring for my loved ones pets. I am knowledgeable in the basic ailments pets have and what appropriate steps should be taken to help them. My pets are my kids,even after I had a kid and that will never change. I can’t forget to mention that I am a dedicated foster for multiple local rescues. I will care for your pets like they are my own and that is my promise to you. As long as I am in charge of the care of your pet they will be safe and loved.
“I hired Megan to take care of my kitty, who has intestinal issues and requires some extra care. She came on time each day and did a great job cleaning the litter boxes (that are extra dirty because of the issues) and making sure all of my kitty's needs were taking care of correctly. My kitty loved her and was calm and at ease. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Andru was really great with our temperamental cat who doesn’t love strangers. We would definitely book Andru again in the future. He communicated well, sent pictures etc. He even gave the fish a pinch of food.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Thixton
“Heather was awesome taking care of our pup! She set up a meet and greet for me to introduce my dog to her and her dogs since it was my first time doing doggy daycare. I would recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
“Rylee took such great care of my dog Knox! He has separation anxiety, but he adjusted quickly in her calm and welcoming home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She sent regular updates with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. Knox looked relaxed and happy, he clearly felt comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Rylee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter on Rover!”
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.
“Courtney was very professional and had good communication. She invited us in and introduced her family. She has a fully fenced in back. She also provided a complete pee/poop/eat/nap report. Daisy seemed very happy. We'd definitely use Courtney's services again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life including small to large dogs. I am not a professional trainer but I have experience in training my own fur babies. My work is flexible where I can drop in for visits, take them out walking or just spend time playing with them. I can also board them, so that you can have a stress free vacation. They will have a fenced yard to play in and two buddies to play with. I will send lots of pictures and updates. To ensure safety, please have all vaccinations up to date and send me a copy, if possible. I also like to schedule a meet and greet prior to booking to ensure both parties are comfortable with the booking. It will also be an opportunity to address any concerns. I work full time but have the flexibility to work remotely. If your fur baby needs someone to be home all the time, I can accommodate that. I have a fenced yard. I have a 3 year old beagle mix and a 1 year old beagle. They are both very friendly and wants to make friends. I like to take them for walks and they get plenty of outdoor time and frequent potty breaks. We have a 4 month old baby, so I would prefer if your pets are good with kids.
“Our little had a great time hanging out with Dailyn's dogs Mia and Coco. We receivedsevetsl pictures and a few videos of them playing during his stay. Leah, her daughter was very sweet and attentive to Coco. And we got a nice gift bag with a framed picture of Coco when we picked him up. He was happy when we got there to pick him up. Coco was well cared for.”
“Giana always treated us very kindly, in the photos she sent us my dog looked happy, definitely my dog spent a happy time with her dog too. All of us are happy with Giana service.”
About: Hi! My name is Yadira and I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend. I enjoy going on walks with my dog around the neighborhood as well as the parks near by. I am interested in getting know your dog so I can provide great care and attend to his/her needs during his/her stay at my home. I have a dog named Bruno and four children for that reason I will only accept dogs that are vaccinated and not aggressive towards children or other dogs. Feel free to ask me any questions, and I will be glad to answer. Thank you for stopping by. I am a stay at home mom and I have been pet sitting for over seven years but I have been taking care of different animals since my childhood. I have a huge yard and one furry companion for your dog, my children also will keep your dog happy and entertained during his/her stay.
About: As a dog owner, I know how challenging it can be to find reliable, quality, trustworthy care, and I promise to be just that! I've had and loved dogs my entire life. In our house, our pups are like family and yours will be welcomed with open arms. In addition to my two, I also foster for The KY Humane Society which has given me plenty of experience with puppies, senior dogs, giving meds and tending to your pups every need. Your dog will be cared for like one of our own! I work from home so your pup will very rarely be alone. If your dog has separation anxiety, then I am the perfect sitter for you! Our current feeding schedule is 8:00 and 6, so please let me know if your pup needs a different schedule. Unfortunately, I am not able to accommodate free feeding, so your pup will be on a feeding schedule while they are in my care. I require meet and greets for any new clients. I want to meet you and your pup(s) and I want you to meet mine. Even if you have the friendliest dog, not all dogs will vibe, so this step is important. **Meet and greets can be waived for dogs under 6 months but am happy to have one if that is your preference. We have a large, fenced in back yard as well as live in a safe, quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood. In our house, there is no furniture off limits. Your pups will be welcome to sleep on the bed, on the couch, or on the floor. If you prefer your dog crated at night, we can do that too! My house is set up to host dogs in the safest way possible. This includes multiple safety gates for feeding times or some alone time for your pup to chew on bones or toys. I will accompany your dog(s) on any potty breaks outside that include my dogs. My dogs are also crated when I leave to ensure everyone's safety. Both of my girls are vaccinated to boarding standards and I would prefer yours be too! This helps to keep all our pups safe! **I am happy to provide their vaccination records upon request. If you have additional concerns, please let me know and we can discuss.
“Fatima did a great job day sitting my dog, Olivia! She dropped by to meet us the day before our appointment and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Olivia was healthy and happy when I picked her up. Thank you!”
“Great setup to ensure safety of all the dogs. Was a great experience and the pup seemed to have enjoyed the safe atmosphere. Appreciated the report card at the end with all the pictures.”
“Marissa is so sweet and caring towards my puppy Beau, he absolutely loves her and when it was time to pick him up he continued to snuggle and love on her so I know he is in good hands! Definitely recommend Marissa to care for your pets :)”

“Doggy Daycare with Christina was a great experience. I have a 4 yr old Doberman names She-Ra & Christina had us over for a meet & greet twice before our daycare date since I’d never left She-Ra with anyone except family before. She-Ra was very comfortable in Christina’s home & was excited to arrive for daycare, when I picked her up she was tired from a day of play & spent the evening being lazy. Would definitely rebook with Christina!”
“I cant say enough good about Catherine. She is extremely professional and she has a true passion and love for dogs. And it shows. I had a vet appointment set for Willow that I needed to reschedule and Catherine offered to take her! That to me is just awesome. Catherine really is great at what she does and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
About: I have experience with pets and love working with any type of animal! I have taken care of both dogs and cats! I would love to take care of your pets whether it’s a simple walk or they need boarding! I am a nurse and have a pretty flexible schedule, I love to care for pets on my time off! Feel free to message me with any inquires. I can watch pets at my home for the day or for the week, just reach out to me and we can set something up! I can check in at your home on your pets, do walks, take them to vet visits, etc!
“Our favorite family our fur baby has ever stayed with!! When we dropped Merida off we felt complete peace and did not worry about her at all. If we lived in Louisville we would book Susan and her family every time! Such a sweet family with a great environment for a dog!”

About: Hi, I’m Aden! I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up caring for two dogs, two cats, and several fish tanks, so I’m experienced with many different needs and personalities. I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, so making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve won’t be a problem at all. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly, and I always treat them like family, so you can have peace of mind while you are away My schedule is somewhat set in stone, I work weekdays from 6:00am–4:15pm and some Saturdays from 6:00am–4:15pm, which means I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets. I’m committed to making sure they get the attention, walks, and playtime they need outside of my work hours. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I make their safety and routine my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide to keep things consistent and stress-free. I always keep an eye on doors, leashes, and environments to ensure your pets stay safe, whether we’re indoors or out on a walk. I’m also comfortable providing extra care if needed, such as administering medications or handling special routines. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are well cared for while you’re away.
About: I used to be a Rover sitter while I was in Nursing school several years ago. I've taken a break while working and having kids but I'm excited to help out again! I currently have two kids (4 and 6) that would come along with me to drop in visits or walks. They are very comfortable with animals and know how to be calm and gentle too. We love helping get energy out, playing, going on long walks and giving lots of pets and love. I'm a homeschool mom so we are usually home 5 days a week and I'm usually working as a nurse 1 day on the weekend. My kids and I always take our own dogs on walks, so we would love to take a long walk with your dogs, play with them and give them lots of pets!
About: I grew up in an animal-friendly household among big dogs, small dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, lizards, ferrets, you name it! I have experience with animals of all ages, abilities, and temperaments and strive to do what I can to keep them happy and comfortable! I am a full time college student pursuing music, so I will have the occasional concert that makes me unavailable, but I often have the weekend free or evenings/nights/early mornings. I definitely strive to leave everything in a client’s home just as I left it, besides a happy and/or well-fed dog, cat, or other furry or scaly creature. As long as I know where to locate the food, bowls, leash/harness, and/or backyard I’m good!

“Amy was great with my dog Bucky, we just met her today and she was very sweet to him..he is a bit of a puller but she handled him well and he came back tired and happy. She took lots of pictures and even brought water for him. Will definitely book more walks with her.!”
“Rylee was AMAZING. She took such good care of my baby while I was out of town even going so far as to carry my 70 lb baby back to my house during a heat wave when my dog had decided she was done. She was incredibly communicative the whole time and was so sweet to my baby.”
“Deshawn did a great job walking our pups for us over a multiple day period. He is very nice and enjoyable to chat with, but perhaps most importantly, the dogs love him and got very excited when he showed up to walk them. Thanks again Deshawn!”
“We have been using Isaac recently to walk our two lab puppies a bit here and there to get them more socialized and used to walking on a leash. I was a bit hesitant at first handing over my babies to someone we didn't know, especially because they can be a handful at times, but Isaac has really put me at ease. He is so patient with them and shows a caring attitude. One of our babies can be a bit rambunctious sometimes and Isaac has shown his willingness to work with her when needed. And again, his patience! He takes time to try and reinforce commands while on the walks, makes me feel comfortable handing over my babies to him. He's always professional and polite, on time, with a good attitude. I recommend Isaac to anyone needing someone to assist with their fur babies. He gives me pointers when needed or asked, and seems to treat the girls like family when he's with them.”
About: I love animals and will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I will communicate consistently and send photo updates on visits. I do work full time, my current shift schedule is 9-5 Monday through Friday. Weekends are always free unless I have military obligations, my schedule will reflect accordingly if so. I have two cats who roam around the house as they please. Security is important to me and I always double check doors and ensure nothing is out that may pose a threat to anyone in the house.

Lots of free time and flexibility of schedules. We both would like to fill that time doing some pet sitting with Rover. I do not plan to keep animals in my house. I also do not want to stay in another persons house overnight to watch pets. Been retired however I do have very flexible availability during the day and evening.
About: I have been pet sitting for my family for years. I also have babies of my own that I take care of everyday. I can guarantee your pet will be in good hands!

About: I've been in the house/pet sitting business for a couple years now. I've worked in houses with anywhere between one animal to seven animals! I am absolutely open to exotic pets as well as I have a few of my own and would love to meet different species. I also worked in a zoo for 4 years, and currently work in a vets office, so I have plenty of different experiences. I look forward to meeting your babies:) I currently work at a vets office Thursday-Saturday from 9am-5:30pm (1pm on Saturdays), and volunteer Sunday nights, so I would unfortunately not be able to provide around the clock care. Otherwise, I am at the home all day! I am open to frequent walks, brushing, bathing, giving medication, and any other specific needs for your pet! I understand how tedious and picky some animals tend to be, so I'm open to any accommodations necessary.
About: I have been raised around dogs my whole life. My dog is 3 years old and she is the sweetest girl. We love going to the dog park, going on walks around the neighborhood, and the occasional camping trip. I’ve always been the resident dog sitter for my friends and family, so I thought I could share the love. I’m a travel nurse, so when I’m not working a contract, I have all the time in the world to help you out and take care of your pups! I’m more than willing to come dog sit in your home or just hang out for a little while if your stuck out of the house for a long time. Staying very focused on the dog is important to me to keep everyone safe. Attention to detail on what you’re looking for and instructions are a priority.

“Heather did a great job making us feel comfortable that our dogs were being cared for. She sent multiple pictures showing the dogs getting to play outside and even cared for them during some really bad storms. I would definitely reach out to Heather again in the future.”

When I picked her up she was completely happy and healthy and they sent me updates and pics of her daily. I couldn’t have asked for a better home for her to be at and we feel blessed to have found them.”
“Beth was so patient and kind, I have never left my dog with a non-family member and she's a little codependent but Beth (and Tupac/Kiddo!) were so sweet and made her feel at home. She sent updates over the weekend and was amazing with our pickup/drop off schedule and my anxiety. Thanks so much!”
“My dog’s stay isn’t even over, but I am so glad to “see” her having fun. Melody is personable and goes above and beyond to take care of not only my pup, Stella, but others’ fur babies as well. She does a great job of updating you with photos during your dog’s stay! I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Scott was great! He kept us up to date on how our fur baby was doing, sending us a bunch of pics. We had tobextend our booking and he accommodated that with no problem. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Marissa was great. She sent us daily pictures of our dog and gave us updates as well. He came back to us absolutely exhausted. I feel it was better than dropping him off at a kennel. We will definitely be using her next time we go out of town!”
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.
“Amanda was amazing with our 4 year old Vizsla. She treated her like a queen and helped our anxious dog feel right at home. I will definitely use Amanda again and can’t recommend her enough.”
“Sarah and Daniel were the best sitters for our dorgi! We received multiple pictures per day and saw how much love and affection he received. It made us feel so much better and allowed us to enjoy our trip! He had such a wonderful time staying with them and we will definitely request that he stay with them during our future trips. Completely recommend Sarah and Daniel to anyone that needs dog-sitting!”
“First time visiting here - my active dog spent the day with Mariah and had the best time playing outside with her pup and another visitor. Good communication, loved the photos she sent.”
“Issac was great. Very attentive and aware of my concerns and questions regarding leaving my dog for a week. The multiple pictures and videos daily also helped ease my mind. Will definitely book again.”
“We’re so happy to have found our new sitter, Michelle! She took such good care of our George. We got updates with pics through the stay showing how much fun he was having, and how comfortable he was. I highly recommend Michelle and will definitely be bringing him back!”
“Robin was a great sitter! Clearly very knowledgeable when it comes to caring for dogs, and made us feel very comfortable with leaving our pup at her home for several days. Really appreciated the communication and pictures/daily updates. Will definitely reach out to Robin again in the future.”
“I had plenty of opportunities to interview sitters on Rover about taking care of my dog Donner for the time I spent (over a month) in Sheperdsville, KY. Chelsea and Chris stood out among the rest. When I picked up Donner on weekends, she always had a smile on her face. Moreover, the pets in the household (Winston and Nova) were friendly and loved to play. They are great people with a home and backyard fence well designed for taking care of canine visitors.”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
