“Anthony and his partner did such a great job caring for Mushu while we were out of the country for a week! He made sure to give updates and send photos daily. Your dog will be well taken care of and have a great time with Anthony while you’re out. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always had dogs inside my household growing up so I am knowledgeable in taking care of pets. I currently take care of my parents dog and even have a few other friends I dog sit for on occasion. I regularly take care of my parents dog and I regularly take him for walks, feed him on a regular schedule and ensure his water bowl is full. I love the company of any dog as I live alone and have no children. I have a clean home where a dog cannot easily access things that they should not be. I love getting out for exercise so they will have walks and play time. I also work from home and can work from any home if need be. This makes it very easy to let dogs out for potty breaks and make sure they are fed and have water.
“Ebony was great and Hux had a wonderful time. It's evident how much she cares for the pups in her care. She sent videos and Hux came home worn out after having fun with friends.”
“We would highly recommend Lynne! We left our pup with her for a three day weekend and everything was great. She would send us periodic updates and pictures of our dog playing with her two dogs...I think they all became best friends! Lynne is very thorough and prompt to reply. We would not hesitate to use her again should the need arise. Thank you Lynne!”
“We booked extremely last minute & Nelson saved the day. This was our second time boarding with him & he took great care of our fur babies. Would def use Nelson’s services again!”
“Natalie and Zachary were wonderful! They were easy to communicate with, were flexible with a last minute reservation as well as pick up and drop off, and best of all took great care of my dog. She loved being at their house and running around the with their dogs. Would recommend without a doubt!”
“Ciara is awesome! She started watching Hudson after his sister passed. She makes sure to walk him and give him his exercise. She also sends a lot of pictures so you feel more at ease about leaving your dog. Hudson loves Ciara and loves to snuggle with her. She has taken extra special care of him and shows him lots of attention”
“Tina was wonderful! She sent me daily updates on my baby along with pictures. She and her husband were very kind and my puppy to to her immediately. I will definitely use her again!”
“Incredible! Jen was so great with our little guy and we could tell he had a great time! She provided us with a lot of peace of mind and worked with us when we ended our trip early for the winter storm. Thanks Jen!”
“Penny seem to settle right in with Elaine and Cal and the regular picture updates we received! Even when I arrived to pick her up, she barely wanted to stop playing and exploring!”
“5 stars is an understatement. I wish I can give more. She was great, with agreeing to a greet and meet. Sending daily pictures, and understanding his routine. This was the first time we left our Whiskey with anyone that was not a friend or family, and I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter then Val. I’m forever grateful for caring and spoiling my boy, Val. Fun fact: Val, was practicing her Spanish with Whiskey 🤭”
“Jamie, who goes by Lynn, was absolutely the perfect match for my dog. She is patient, kind and loving. She kept him the entire day and he was one happy dog when I picked him up. Lynn wanted to know all about him and any instructions for the day at drop off and she followed them perfectly. She has a fenced yard and they spent a lot of time out there. It is about a 20 minute drive for me and there are plenty of sitters closer, but I will continue to make the drive, because it doesn’t get any better than her.”
“Daniela was amazing! She updated us daily with pictures, kept us in the loop on activities and was always quick to respond. Our pooch came back in great spirits and may have even been a little sad to be home, hah! I can't recommend Daniela more highly, we will certainly work with her again.”
“Emily was great!! Judson has some anxiety with new people, storms and doesn’t like when he’s away from us, but I think he did really well with Emily! She’s worked with many different dogs and really knows what they need and it shows. Will definitely want to rebook her in the future!!”
“Jacqueline was very accommodating with our last minute plans and it’s clear that our golden had a very fun weekend! Definitely recommend and hopefully will use her again!”

Anthony and his partner did such a great job caring for Mushu while we were out of the country for a week! He made sure to give updates and send photos daily. Your dog will be well taken care of and have a great time with Anthony while you’re out. Highly recommend!
Virginia stepped in at the last minute for a long first time stay for my older and often anxious pup. She provided the warm attentive care, fast responses, pictures on request, and friendly communication. I couldnt be more thankful Loki got to take his own pup-cation with Virginia!
This was our first time using Rover for our girl, and I was a bit nervous since she can be dog aggressive. Jacob was awesome! You can tell he is a dog lover. We did a meet and greet, and it was a great fit. He sent me daily pictures or videos, and my dog loved every minute of staying with him and his kids. (She loved his kids!) When I went to pick up my girl and brought her home, she went into the corner and pouted. She was pupset that she didn't get to stay at Jacob's house! Can't recommend him enough!
Jason and his son are truly an amazing father–son duo and the best people in Louisville, Kentucky to trust with your pets. This was my first time using Rover, and I was honestly very nervous about leaving my beloved doggos behind. Jason made the entire experience incredibly smooth and stress-free from the start. He was kind, professional, and very responsive. He regularly sent me updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Also could facetime my doggos whenever we had time. My dogs were kept warm, clean, and well cared for, and they absolutely loved the house and the positive, calm vibe. What made the experience even more special was Jason’s son. He is such a well-behaved, loving kid, and it was clear how genuinely he cared for our dogs. Some kids are truly special, and you can see that love and kindness reflected in how he interacted with them. Thank you for everything. You can absolutely trust Jason and his family to keep your doggos safe and happy. I will definitely be coming back whenever I need pet care again.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Valley Station can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Valley Station home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Valley Station.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Valley Station. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Valley Station sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
