“I cannot say enough great things about Jane! She is wonderful!! She sent me pictures of my doggie Charlie every day while we were on vacation (at my request). She updated me on how she was doing and how she was adjusting. We were away from her for a week. This was very difficult as my Charlie has only ever stayed with a family member. Jane has a nice big fenced-in yard for Charlie to run and play in. I feel like she treated my doggie like her own by loving on her, playing with her, and even let Charlie sleep in her bed as we do at home. I’m so thankful for Jane!! We will definitely be using her again!! I wish I could give her 10 stars!!”

“Christina is THE BEST!! Charlie loves her so much and I don’t have to worry when I’m out of town and Charlie is with her. She sends me pics and updates often. It really makes my heart happy that Charlie can stay with someone who’s so thoughtful and caring when we have to be away from her. ❤️”

“Madison is wonderful. It was easy to communicate with her. She was quick to respond to any questions I had. I felt totally comfortable leaving Speck with her. She sent photos and videos regularly. He had had a really fun time. I would highly recommend and plan to hire her again.”

“We left our puppy in the best home. Kim sent photos for us so we could see her everyday with messages about what she was doing. Joey, our puppy, was thrilled to see us but was happy to have a few minutes playing before we took her home. As a bonus, Kim had given Joey a bath before we picked her up, I didn’t expect that. Most of all, she treated Joey like she was her own. Who could ask nor more. We will be back.”

“Connor and Penny enjoyed their stay with Laura and boo. We are grateful to have found Laura to care for our fur babies and feel very comfortable I'm leaving them with her. Thank you for taking care of my babies.”

“Kassandra saved our trip! She watched our boys for the holiday so we could travel last minute! I'm very thankful she was available and took great care of our fur babies!”

“Sandra took great care of Benny. She sent lots of photos of him playing and he seemed very happy when I picked him up! I would trust her to watch him again in the future. Thanks so much Sandra.”

About: My whole entire life I have had a dog & cat that were/are very well cared for. I have tons of experience making sure your animals will be well taken care of! I have a golden retriever named Harlow, she is kind and loving and loves other animals. I am a full time college student. I normally am done with my days around 3:30 pm. I am available on weekends. I have a job at a hospital and my schedule varies due to making my own schedule. I live in apartmet in Ashland, KY. It is a bigger apartment that has plenty of room for your animals to stay, if needed! I am very responsible and if I am going into your home it will be respected and every rule will be followed!
About: I offer over 13 years of hands-on experience within the performance horse industry and have been formally employed as a dedicated horse caretaker and groom since 2019. As an Equine Science major with a background working as a veterinary receptionist, I bring an advanced understanding of equine wellness, handling, and behavioral needs. Whether managing daily stable routines, monitoring herd health, or ensuring top-tier care for performance horses, I provide highly dependable, professional, and knowledgeable oversight for your animals. I have had personal experience with multiple dog breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and fish. I’m currently working a part-time job that is 5 minutes from my house, so I’ll be close to my home at all times and have flexibility with my schedule. I have home with land ranging at 9 acres that is in the county and away from other people. I also have a 3 year old female Aussiedoodle who is great with children & other dogs/animals, and is also updated on vaccines.
“Summer took great care of Lemmy! We got regular photos, she did a great job with his meds, and she was very patient with us in our first time using Rover. Summer, her family, and her own pets were great to our temperamental little chihuahua. Can’t thank her enough!”

“Duke was well cared for during his stay with Haley. I appreciated the communication and updates. Duke seemed to feel at home right away and enjoyed playing with her 2 dogs for the weekend. He was wagging his tail and smiling when I showed up to pick him up. I would definitely recommend.”

“Bianca is my go to to watch my pup. Bianca and her family spoil my dog and give her love all the time. They have been a blessing as a resource. She will provide excellent care to your dog or cat!!”

“Josie took this booking REALLY last minute (like 6 am day of) after we got delayed flying home. She stopped in before she went to work and made sure everyone had food and was okay. Her flexibility to fit this into her schedule was wonderful and helped us out so much. We love her taking care of our cats and the cats love her even more!”

About: I’ve taken care of Dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, chickens and reptiles!! I love caring for animals and would love to care for yours when needed!! I’m currently working from home and can work from anywhere. I can adjust my schedule for when I’m needed to accommodate you and your fur babies! I sit with your fur babies, love them and treat them as if they are my own! I love all breeds and type of animals I’ve been taking care of my babies and other peoples babies for over 20 years now.

“Samantha gets an A++++++ from us & my dogs! My dogs loved her & she was soooo easy to work with, I will go back to her & would recommend any of you with dogs to leave them with her. She sends pictures everyday showing how she & the dogs are getting along. She even bathes them while they are there. When I picked my Rottweiler puppy up, she was so excited to see me, & wanted me to meet Samantha. Dogs are so smart.”

About: I grew up very passionate about animals, and it didn’t help that we had 4+ dogs, cat(s), a rabbit, goldfish, and more. It was always viewed that I would pursue a career as a veterinarian because I care for common house pets, insects, and wildlife. It’s humorous to think of how obsessed I was with Steve Irwin. However, I followed a law enforcement and military-associated career, hoping to open my rescue one day. Animals are easier in packs, so nothing will ever be too much. I am a dedicated professional with a full-time job, earning my second master's degree, if not third, and more; if it’s one thing, I will always go out of my way for any creature. I will be able to help take care of your furry animal before and after work. Depending on your location and if it’s everything but boarding, I may be able to provide weekend care. Therefore, it is crucial that your animals can be left alone for 8-13 hours. I am able to provide medication if applicable but will need your pets preferred way of receiving their medicine. I own a 2 story home with a fence in yard. There are security cameras around the premises. If there are signs that your animal can not be trusted, they will be placed in a kennel while I am at work for their safety and my own dogs/cat safety. My boyfriend works within the county that we reside in and will be able to quickly go back to the house if a situation arises. All of my animals have been trained to be socialsble with other people and pets.

“This is the first time ever using Rover. Also the first time my husband and I were leaving for an extended amount of time super far away. I was so worried about the kiddos because we didn't know anyone. Delanee has been PERFECT. She came over multiple times to meet them at my request. I wanted the cats to be comfortable with her since they weren't used to anyone but us. She kept us updated, shared many photos and videos, and just made it so easy. I LOVED having her watch them and if I ever need to go anywhere she is the first one im calling.”

“Christina was amazing with my cat while I was out of town! She was responsive, communicated well, and made me feel comfortable leaving my baby alone for the first time. Highly recommend her for your pet needs!”

About: I've been around cats for as long as I can remember, and started caring for them myself when I was around 12 years old. They just seem to gravitate towards me, and I remember at one point taking care of 7 or 8 neighborhood cats at once. Feeding them, watering them, and giving them affection if they wanted it. I never push them to accept pets or cuddles or even to sniff me. The most I will do is hold out my hand as an offering of trust and allow them to make that decision themself.

My first love was a beautiful, white cat. Her name was Snowball. My second was Frankie. He was my baby stray kitten that I found in my yard, bottle fed, and nursed back to health. Now, I spend my extra time with my four-legged sister. She is a lab mix rescue, and we have an incredibly special bond. It has become my therapy and passion to work with animals, and I truly Iook forward to meeting you and your loves!

I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and adjust my approach based on their comfort level. I treat every home with respect, ensure pets are safe and happy before leaving, and provide updates and photos after each visit so owners can feel confident their pet is well cared for.

Pets, cuddles, and playtimes are on the animals terms, and I don't press them to want contact. I try not to raise my voice with them if I don't have to, and I don't like physical punishment.

“Sandra took great care of Benny. She sent lots of photos of him playing and he seemed very happy when I picked him up! I would trust her to watch him again in the future. Thanks so much Sandra.”

About: My whole entire life I have had a dog & cat that were/are very well cared for. I have tons of experience making sure your animals will be well taken care of! I have a golden retriever named Harlow, she is kind and loving and loves other animals. I am a full time college student. I normally am done with my days around 3:30 pm. I am available on weekends. I have a job at a hospital and my schedule varies due to making my own schedule. I live in apartmet in Ashland, KY. It is a bigger apartment that has plenty of room for your animals to stay, if needed! I am very responsible and if I am going into your home it will be respected and every rule will be followed!
“Summer took great care of Lemmy! We got regular photos, she did a great job with his meds, and she was very patient with us in our first time using Rover. Summer, her family, and her own pets were great to our temperamental little chihuahua. Can’t thank her enough!”

“Duke was well cared for during his stay with Haley. I appreciated the communication and updates. Duke seemed to feel at home right away and enjoyed playing with her 2 dogs for the weekend. He was wagging his tail and smiling when I showed up to pick him up. I would definitely recommend.”

“Bianca is my go to to watch my pup. Bianca and her family spoil my dog and give her love all the time. They have been a blessing as a resource. She will provide excellent care to your dog or cat!!”

“Josie took this booking REALLY last minute (like 6 am day of) after we got delayed flying home. She stopped in before she went to work and made sure everyone had food and was okay. Her flexibility to fit this into her schedule was wonderful and helped us out so much. We love her taking care of our cats and the cats love her even more!”

About: I’ve taken care of Dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, chickens and reptiles!! I love caring for animals and would love to care for yours when needed!! I’m currently working from home and can work from anywhere. I can adjust my schedule for when I’m needed to accommodate you and your fur babies!

I love all sizes and breeds and will love yours too! I care for your babies just like they are my own. They will get snuggles when they want them and very well taken care of.
“Samantha gets an A++++++ from us & my dogs! My dogs loved her & she was soooo easy to work with, I will go back to her & would recommend any of you with dogs to leave them with her. She sends pictures everyday showing how she & the dogs are getting along. She even bathes them while they are there. When I picked my Rottweiler puppy up, she was so excited to see me, & wanted me to meet Samantha. Dogs are so smart.”

About: I grew up very passionate about animals, and it didn’t help that we had 4+ dogs, cat(s), a rabbit, goldfish, and more. It was always viewed that I would pursue a career as a veterinarian because I care for common house pets, insects, and wildlife. It’s humorous to think of how obsessed I was with Steve Irwin. However, I followed a law enforcement and military-associated career, hoping to open my rescue one day. Animals are easier in packs, so nothing will ever be too much. I am a dedicated professional with a full-time job, earning my second master's degree, if not third, and more; if it’s one thing, I will always go out of my way for any creature. I will be able to help take care of your furry animal before and after work. Depending on your location and if it’s everything but boarding, I may be able to provide weekend care. Therefore, it is crucial that your animals can be left alone for 8-13 hours. I am able to provide medication if applicable but will need your pets preferred way of receiving their medicine. I own a 2 story home with a fence in yard. There are security cameras around the premises. If there are signs that your animal can not be trusted, they will be placed in a kennel while I am at work for their safety and my own dogs/cat safety. My boyfriend works within the county that we reside in and will be able to quickly go back to the house if a situation arises. All of my animals have been trained to be socialsble with other people and pets.
