“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!”
“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!”
“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 am an animal lover by nature and a pet sitter by choice. I have trained my own dogs. I've been involved with several rescue groups and fostered many animals. I work 5 hours a week outside the home and my husband works from home so your pet will not be alone. I'm available Monday thru Sunday and drop-off/pick-up times are very flexible (a.m. or p.m.). Don't want to board your pet at a kennel? I would love to keep your fur baby while you're away. Your dog(s) will be kept inside with us like part of our family. I will care for your pet just like my own. Prefer only 1 - 2 at a time so I can spend more time with each one and give your pet all the love and attention he/she will need while you're gone. I will strive to keep your pet healthy, happy, and comfortable just like they were at home. (I'm near Mt. Washington)
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.
“I booked pretty last minute and was thankful that Dailyn would take me on. We had a miscommunication but she worked quickly to fix everything and was willing to go out of her way to do so. Sheila is a happy puppy and I am a happy dog mama. Would be happy to use her services again!”
About: I have worked with animals for several years through my position at a pet store, where I help pet owners find the best products for their pets and learn about proper pet care. This experience has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, nutrition, and the individual needs of different pets. What sets me apart is my reliability, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. As a Resident Assistant at Freed-Hardeman University, I am trusted with leadership responsibilities, checking on residents nightly and handling situations with maturity and care. I bring that same level of responsibility to caring for pets. I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and loves playtime or prefers a calmer routine, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I pay close attention to instructions, provide regular updates, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and dependable hands. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a college student and Resident Assistant, I have experience managing my time responsibly and staying organized. I am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks, and I can provide consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I have fenced area outside and I have two friendly Yorkies who love playing with other dogs! I also have a gated room in my home if you prefer your pet to be separated. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and routines to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe space to relax. I am dependable, respectful of clients' homes, and committed to providing regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their families.
“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.”
“Considering Baxter didn’t want to leave, I’d say he had an enjoyable time. Thank you for loving my big boy! I’m glad he had some playmates to enjoy as well. As soon as we got home, I think he was looking around for his new friends. You’ll see Baxter again!”
“Angela and Stephen are so great! My two littermates had a great time playing with them today. They have a great backyard and live in a super cute quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood.”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up, from dogs & horses to rabbits and hamsters. I currently have 3 dogs from 40-65 pounds. My lab is on daily medication so I am comfortable giving your babies meds if needed. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of of their pets and I’m always willing to! I currently work a full time job Monday through Friday. I go into office one-two days a week so but the rest is wfh! I am willing to workout any needs for the weekend. I prefer crates for your pets until they are more familiar with the environment, if you are not comfortable doing so I will make exceptions. I do have two crates that stay in my home if needed
“Gabriella is wonderful and took great care of our Husky, Moose. She sent tons of pictures of him and Yeti playing, running, and playing some more. Yeti was great with Moose, and he has another friend to play with!”
“Jared and Waverly were great with our dogs, and even managed to get my curmudgeon named skittles to positively interact with a couple older dogs! They were flexible and understanding of my changing schedule, as we were on a road trip and only needed help for a few hours. If I’m ever in Louisville with the doggos again I’d contact them straightaway”
“Robin was great! Our Ani loved her. She was organized and ready for her and flexible with changing timing of drop-off and pick-up. Nice communication throughout with a picture update per day.”
“Rachael is the best. We really appreciate her help whenever we are in a scheduling pickle. We have a young puppy who is full of energy and needs lots of love and she always comes home and passes out at first opportunity.”
“Bella spent the afternoon with Taylor and it couldn't have gone better. Taylor is very warm and welcoming and immediately makes you (and your dog) feel right at home. Bella had a wonderful time playing with her friends in this pleasant environment and I felt good leaving her with someone so caring and competent. I would highly recommend her to everyone looking for a sitter for their pet. Also loved the pics.”
“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.”
“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!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Whitfield commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 336 sitters in Whitfield, 84% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
