“Worked with Angela only. She was communicative, professional, and I trust them. Everything worked out great, Theo is back home, happy, and in good health.”
About: We believe every dog deserves individualized care, which is why we only board one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows us to provide a calm, low-stress environment where your pup receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. Our family genuinely enjoys having dogs in our home. Our friendly Siberian Husky loves canine companionship, and our three children enjoy playing fetch, exploring the backyard, and giving our guests lots of love and attention. We tailor each stay to your dog’s personality and needs—whether that means long walks and outdoor adventures or a quiet day relaxing inside. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because we’ve boarded our own dog, too. That’s why communication is one of our priorities. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates along with messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pup is doing. Safety is equally important to us. We have a large, securely fenced backyard, require current vaccinations, and carefully introduce dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable. We also keep our schedule flexible so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods and receives the care and attention they deserve. Our goal is simple: to make your dog feel like part of our family while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. We work from home and have flexible schedules, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Because we only care for one family’s pet(s) at a time, we can tailor our routine to meet your dog’s individual needs and help them feel right at home. Our pets are part of the family! Our friendly Siberian Husky loves to play and enjoys the company of other dogs. We provide daily walks, playtime, plenty of outdoor time in our securely fenced yard, and lots of love and attention. We can accommodate crate-trained dogs and tailor each stay to your pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, so they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Our Goldendoodles were well taken care of and seemed to have a great time! Lots of pictures and updates so we always knew what was going on. Would definitely leave them here again!”
“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.”
“Beth was an amazing sitter for our pup. She was easy to coordinate with on the front and back end and gave frequent updates with pictures and details keeping us up to date on everything our pup. Will definitely be back with Beth for our next getaway!”
“Floyd had a great stay with Collin’s family! Collin sent many pictures and kept me updated daily which really kept me at ease. He treated Floyd like one of his own pets! I’m extremely pleased and will definitely trust him with Floyd’s care again in the future!”
“Boone, and his family, are in love with Sharon D. She is extremely genuine and caring. She is very thoughtful and sent many pictures/videos while we were on vacation. Her attention to detail for our fur baby made us like her even more. This was our first time using Rover and she made the experience so simple and easy to trust. I would HIGHLY recommend Sharon D!!!”
“Amanda is the sweetest! I am new to town and had a work trip I was going to. She was very attentive and so was her sweet son. She sent pics and updated me on how Nico was doing. Thank you Amanda for a great experience. Definitely using her again!”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“If you’re thinking of booking Meg, this is your sign to do it! She is so kind and gentle and was incredibly accommodating for all our needs for our sweet dog. We had our dog (2 years ago old Australian cattle dog mix) stay with Meg for a few days while we were in the midst of a big house move. She was the perfect safe and playful landing spot and sent us photos every day of our boy playing with her dog and lounging on the couch and snuggling at her feet while she worked from home. She’s the best, would absolutely book again.”
“Michael took such great care of Sierra! He went above and beyond to make sure she was completely comfortable, and the daily updates and photos he provided gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear he genuinely loves animals, and Sierra absolutely adored him. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter, and will definitely be booking with him 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!”
“Crystal was the absolute best! It was a last minute trip away; and she went above and beyond! She took great care of my fur baby, and sent pictures daily! My service was a little wacky, but she continued to send me pictures and updates and it was so appreciated!!! It means the absolute most to be able to leave my fur baby with someone that keeps me in the loop and is trusted so well! Would 100% book again!”
“Jessica is my #1 sitter in town! Luci loves spending time with her family. There's a big fenced in back yard and Jessica's dog Tucker George is a sweet lowrider pup who gets along with everyone.”
“I was so anxious about leaving Lucy overnight with someone new. Oliver really seemed to understand and appreciate that. I got nice photos of Lucy hanging out and when I picked her up they invited her back even though she stole a hamburger. Oilver did a great job with Lucy who tends to be scared of new people but I could tell Lucy got great outside time, played with other dogs and was tired when she got home. I Wil Def. Recommend and bring Lucy back when I need someone again.”
“Kelly was great! Charlie said he loved staying there and playing with her dogs. She even had all his stuff ready and helped me carry it all out to the car when I picked him up. We will definitely use her again!”
“Li was very accommodating. It was our first time using Rover and our circumstances were less than ideal (she had not met our 9mo Australian Shepard, it was last minute and we found out day of that our pup needed to wear an E-collar for the 4 night stay). I was less than hopeful but Li pulled through for us and was nothing less than helpful. Would use her again any time”
“Tina was great with our dog! Sent pictures and updates of our pet every day. Super flexible with our times of drop off & pick up. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!”
“Renee and Gary did a great job. Goofus was not anxious on drop off at all. Renee and Gary welcomed her and made her feel at ease. I could tell by the frequent pictures that were sent. Goofus was enjoying herself Thanks for the great care and the treat you sent home. Goofus”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Worthington
This was the first time using Rover. Carla was wonderful! She sent me some updates and picture while we were on our trip. Vivian tends to not react as much when we are away, this didn’t happen at all… which cracked me up and loved because I knew she felt at home! 😂😊🫶
Courtney took wonderful care of our sweet geriatric blind Miss Minnie while we were on vacation for over two weeks. Courtney needed to be out of town for a family obligation over one weekend, and she coordinated with the sitter I had arranged and she packed all the necessary items, delivering them and Minnie and then picking up as well when she got back. The rest of the time, Courtney stayed in our home allowing Minnie to be in her familiar territory. Minnie has an enlarged heart and pulmonary edema, requiring several medications to be mixed with food twice a day and she also gets two different eye drops each once a day. Courtney was not fazed by any of this! Courtney works from home which was also a big plus so that she was at our home most of the time with Minnie. She followed my directions and even gave Minnie two baths while we were gone, which we did not expect. Our home was in great shape when we returned and Courtney had brought in packages that arrived while we were gone. I cannot recommend Courtney highly enough should you have need for house sitting, dog walking, or boarding!!!
We’ll be using Breanna forever! I was nervous to leave my dog for 5 days but she sent so many pictures and updates throughout the week! She took excellent care of Luna, such good care that Luna didn't want to leave! Your fur baby will be in the best hands with Breanna!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Worthington 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 Worthington 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 Worthington.
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 Worthington. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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 Worthington 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.
