“This was my very first time boarding coco so I was very nervous about leaving her but Heather made me and coco feel like family ! She was very attentive with pictures and keeping me updated on her progress during the stay. Coco is a diabetic so there was an extra layer of anxiety with that but again Heather was very much on top of things which allowed me to have a great weekend away without worrying. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”


“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!!!!”

“I can’t say enough good things about these folks. To start, they spent an hour with me and Benny (my pup) in advance of my trip and introduced us to their place. Benny loved the big backyard and I could tell he immediately felt at home. During my trip, I received daily videos of Benny playing with other dogs or being loved on, which made me feel good knowing I was so far away from home. Benny is such a good dog and I am grateful to have connected with people as equally good and loving. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”

“I previously had boarded my dog before trying rover, and I will never go back. Angela was AMAZING! She took and shared lots of photos and updates while we were on vacation. Bruno loved playing with her dogs and kids, too! I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Incredible care for Oakley. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Phillip. They have Aussie experience and it made whole stay much easier. Oakley fit right in and I appreciated their flexibly on his food and exercises!”

Sharon sent frequent updates & pics and even bathed him one day when he needed a refresh. Sharon’s yard is perfect for dogs, very safe & fun to explore or sunbathe. Sharon also plays relaxing music for your dogs. Talk about a dog-cation!! You will not be disappointed booking Sharon, she is a highly skilled Dog Sitter and great with humans too!”

“Our previous sitters had to cancel less than a week before our trip so we were stressing to find care for our puppy. We are SO happy we found Sarah & Daniel!! They were quick to respond before and during our trip, and sent us so many sweet photos of our boy. They took care of Charlie like he was theirs and it means so so much - we'll definitely be booking again! ❤️”

“My Wilson was wonderfully taken care of by Sarah and her family, and their two pups were great with him, as was Butcher the pig. I will ask Sarah if she’ll be able to board Wilson again next time I have to go out of town.”

“Tabitha is INCREDIBLE!!!! She’s so easygoing and good with cats, we tried red her 100% to take care of our babies, and she communicated with me so well to let me know how they were doing! I’ll definitely be using her services every time we go out of town!”

“Julia did great with our boys! Gave great notes at the end of each check in that let us know our boys were in good hands:) We really appreciate everything Julia did and highly recommend!”

“As usual, Elizabeth was a fantastic cat sitter for my two cats! She is absolutely the best to work with and makes sure they are well taken care of while we are away! I love seeing the photos and the updates and it feels calming knowing they’re okay! I highly recommend Elizabeth every time!”


“Joanna had been so nice and loving to our kitties when we were away. She paid attention to every detail and took great care. She spent good time playing with my cats, petting them and giving them lots of love and attention. I was able to put my mind at peace, trusting Joanna with my fur babies. Totally recommend her. ❤️”

“Natalie was very nice and accommodated us very well. I made a mistake which she was happy to work around. She's the cat whisperer and was able to make friends with my very shy cat so I'm super grateful for it!”

“Eleanor did an excellent job with my two kitties. She communicated well during her visits and by the photos she sent it was easy to see the kitties liked her. All photos were appreciated. When I returned home everything was neat and tidy. Definitely would have Eleanor next time.”

“This was my second time booking with Lauran, and once again she was absolutely wonderful! Having someone I can trust with my two cats gives me so much peace of mind while we're away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, made sure my cats were well cared for, and even managed to earn the trust of my very shy cat, which says a lot! It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

“Janet was great with my three cats while I was on vacation for 5 days. Aside from basic feeding and cleaning the boxes, she took time to hang out with the kitties and play with them during her visit. She’s very responsive and left detailed notes each time she checked on the cats. Janet also took a bunch of cute pictures for every visit. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dependable and sweet pet sitter!”

“Kyra was awesome with checking in on my cat, Aria. Even though my cat doesn’t love new people sometimes and seemed to be a little angry and sassy during her visits, Kyra still made sure she was well taken care of and did her best to interact/play with her.”


“I was so happy to be able to book Donai again. Second time’s a charm! I knew my cats were in great hands, and I always loved seeing the Rover reports and pictures while I was enjoying my trip. Thanks for your flexibility and your clear communication!”


“Mary was the absolute best!! I felt so relieved on my trip knowing that my baby was in good hands. She genuinely cared about my pet and was so thoughtful!! I loved how much time she spent with him and the pictures and updates that I got. She is fantastic!! 10/10 recommend! 💙”

“Janae was great, she checked in on our cats for a couple days while we were out of town. We did an initial visit before the booking just to meet her and see how our cats reacted, they instantly took to her which was a relief. She also very kindly pulled in our trash bins while we were away, we did not expect that but very much appreciated! We would definitely book with Janae again.”

“This was my first time using a pet sitter and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my cats. I was nervous about leaving them but was able to enjoy my trip without worrying, thanks to Debbie. She gave daily updates and was very kind and accommodating in our interactions. I highly recommend Debbie and am looking forward to working with her again for our future trips!”


“Shaine took care of a feral cat that I have been caring for over the last eight years. Feral cats choose people not the other way around. It was obvious from how close this cat came to Shaine that she is good people. I would recommend Shaine for simple or complicated pet sitting needs.”


“Lydia came by for a visit before helping us our with our 1 year old, 100 lb puppy who had recently gone thru surgery. Mavericks had lots of energy and excitement for a puppy in a c-collar; But, Lydia was both willing and able to handle him and provide the breaks in the day he needed. We all look forward to having Lydia help us again in the future. Our puppy loved her visits and we loved the pictures she shared with us. Thanks Lydia!”

“Angela and Stephen are good dog sitters and even better people. Bella is always worn out with a smile on her face every time she gets to stay with them. 5/5 would recommend to anyone wanting great care for your beloved pet!”

“Tina was great! This was our first time with a new rover in a new city. She was very communicative, sent great photos, and flexible on a last minute booking. Her home has a great yard for a pup to roam. I would definitely book with her again. Felt very safe leaving our dog with her and her family :)”

“Suki had a great time! Mariah was very sweet and texted immediately whenever I was being a nervous Nelly and checking in on my pup. Suki came home and went straight to sleep so I count that as a win!”

“From first hello, Sean was gentle with Winnie, who can be nervous around new men. He was so thorough and professional in communicating with us and was completely flexible with our return time, as we tooled around Louisville to see the sights. We could not have felt more secure knowing Sean was looking after our girl (and walking her down to the Ohio River was just icing on the cake). Recommend Sean highly!!!”

“Kimba had a great time with Kaitlyn. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Kaitlyn is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Kaitlyn. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”

“I’m so happy Bear had a great time with this sitter, she was amazing at being available short notice and took very good care of my dog. I highly recommend this sitter!”

“We are from out of town, in Indiana for a short time. We received a last minute invite to go to Churchill downs - Elizabeth accepted our request to puppy sit... and our pupp had the best day! We received pictures and videos of her playing and living her best life. We felt totally at ease and relaxed knowing our little Willi was in great hands.”

“Sarah and family greeted Lucy at the door. She happily ran off following the kids for a fun evening! She loves kids! Sarah was easy to work with our uncertain time frame! E McCoy and Lucy”

“We love Melody! She was so sweet and helpful during the entire process. She sent lots of photos of Oakley and updates. Drop off and pick up were smooth and easy! When going home she sent us home with a goodie bag 🥹 10/10 recommend!”

“Jewels was amazing with Mya and this was our first time getting a sitter and she eased my mind with leaving her. Mya had the best time and came home so happy!”

About: “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk Peace of mind is everything while you are away. I will provide tons of updates and pictures for you to rest assured your baby is in good hands. Many of my clients return again and again, it’s the greatest compliment! I am a compassionate, flexible, reliable pet sitter that will treat your doggie like family. You can feel secure, knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands while you are away. If your pet requires any type of special needs or medication, you can rely on my experience. I have a house with a fully fenced in back yard. I keep my bookings very limited and only accept overlapping puppers when they’re a calm, proven fit. They will get the extra attention they deserve while also having a couple of canine playmates! I work from home so I am able to give your baby full attention, exercise and snuggles all day every day. They will have plenty of socialization and company. I have always loved animals of every kind. I have taken care of dogs for the past 20 years through myself or friends. I have raised & trained my sweet senior Doberman from 8 weeks old. I also have a rescue, a sweet senior Pomeranian that I have had for the past 11 years. In our free time we love going to the lake, camping, picnics in the parks, car rides, the dog park and the occasional pup cup! We would be thrilled for you to allow us to watch your sweet baby and go on adventures with us! I am always extremely flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs and schedule. I work from home so your fur baby will have constant companionship, mental, and physical exercise! I have a fully fenced in backyard and two very friendly dogs to keep them company and have fun-time playmates. We go out to potty at least every 1-2 hours. I also have a large and small crate for dogs that are crate trained unless you’d like to bring your own. I have a separate fully insured $1M policy for your peace of mind.
About: Hello! You can call me Wendy. I’m a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently have three cats of my own and many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I’m patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. For pets boarding in my home, I understand that some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. If you prefer, I can keep my three cats completely separate from your pet for the entire stay, so your pet can relax in a safe, quiet environment. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.

“Taylor did amazing with our pets. Our pup is very dog reactive and Taylor used her extensive experience while navigating walks with her. She has quite a charm with animals. She even coaxed out our hermit cat. Taylor did a fabulous job communicating with us and keeping us updated. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced Rover.”

“Lauran was understanding and affectionate with my granddogs , working very well both with the elderly dog and the younger strong-minded one. She was flexible to come when most needed. Lauran is mature, experienced, and able to handle the dogs easily, keeping them safe and happy. I look forward to having her care for the dogs again. She made it possible for me to care for the dogs and they love her.”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".

“Tiffany is fantastic! She arrived on time and took great care of my dogs. She provided photos and communicated during the visit. My dogs were well cared for, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time away.”

“Natalie was wonderful once again with Mac and Oliver. She always goes above and beyond and I can be at work without worrying about the boys. Very appreciative of her help!”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and have years of hands-on experience caring for them through different stages of life. I’ve helped care for Golden Retrievers from birth, giving me experience with puppies as well as adult and senior dogs. I currently have a rescue dog, Lucy, whom I’ve worked with extensively to build trust, confidence, and good manners. We run together daily, and through consistent training she has learned commands including sit, stay, shake, and other everyday manners. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, active, and committed to making sure the dogs in my care feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors. I typically start my day with a morning walk or run with my dog, and throughout the day I make plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I’m also happy to slow things down for dogs who prefer a more relaxed day with cuddles and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine as closely as possible. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to adjust my day around their individual needs. I care for every pet as if they were my own while respecting the routine and instructions their owner provides. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive regular potty breaks or walks, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m also mindful of keeping their environment clean and secure. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, especially when meeting someone new. I take the time to let them become comfortable with me at their own pace and will follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, training, or household routines. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
“My address didn’t update correctly, but she was willing to work with me on an already last minute booking. I can’t thank her enough for going above and beyond. I highly recommend Rebecca if you want your pets well taken care of!”

“Stephanie takes such great care of our precious dog. She is aware of his needs and looks out for him. We feel very confident that he is getting wonderful attention and care.”
“We tried Janae after our regular walker wasn’t available & another didn’t respond. She responded right away, was very accommodating, arrived early, & took good care of our Shelby. We would definitely recommend.”

“This was my trip where I needed to find a sitter for Copper. When we lived in Illinois, we always had a known friend come and care for him in his own space. Now that we live in Kentucky, we do not really know anyone yet, so I needed to search for someone I felt he would be a good fit for. I viewed Arla's profile and was impressed that the dogs in her care were well cared for and not just locked up for the majority of the day and/or night. The dogs got the opportunity to go for walks and really got to be a part of her family. I was not disappointed, Arla welcomed my best friend in to her home and so did her family. She kept me updated on how he was settling in and sent me photos of him. He looked so happy and relaxed. I have taken him to daycare before and was heartbroken to see him not interacting and always sitting at the door waiting to go home. This was not the case in Arla's care. He snuggled up on a fluffy blanket (his favorite thing to do) on her couch and Arla even messaged me to make sure Copper being on furniture was ok w me. All the anxiety I had with going away and leaving him in someone else's care was gone. I am eternally grateful she welcomed him into her beautiful home and made him feel loved. I highly recommend Arla to others looking for care for your furbabies!!!”
