About: While i had a beagle for 8 years growing up and learned a lot from that, my extended family would frequently rely on me for taking care of the many dogs through the years whenever they had a trip planned. i essentially grew up alongside all of them. i also helped a friend while they were going through training a puppy for service work so understanding how to teach commands is a little easier nowadays and i might begin puppy care in the future. i am free in the afternoon through nights everyday my calendar shows. my full week advance notice time allows me to plan around my responsibilities at home. i have learned to convince rather than force our furry friends into doing things they'd rather not do, like crate naps for going out and teaching how not to jump and so on. i have a lot of practice watching my surroundings to watch and avoid potential dangers, so i will make sure that walks are safe, for us and others.
“Lauran is an absolute dream of a companion, house sitter, fur baby manager and lover, and just overall great human. Lauran was thoughtful, responsive and responsible in every way. From sharing pics of our Simon and Molly with us, to asking questions of us as needed, to her bubbly and positive personality, to her attention to detail, she will be our go to person every time we need someone who we trust to spend time at our home and with our pups. We came home to a house nice Ethan we left it a two dogs that were clearly well taken care of while we weee away. Thank you Lauran for being such a great Rover sitter! Thank you Lauran for giving us such peace found and comfort as we traveled.”

“Joanna was amazing! She's a great communicator, sent lots of pictures and took great care of the boys! She's neat and trustworthy and we will definitely have her back!”


“Olivia was great!! Great communication, sent pictures and videos of our pup and was so helpful with our last minute booking. Will definitely be booking again for future needs, highly recommend to anyone searching for a sitter.”

“I highly recommend Emmelea! This was our first time using her for an overnight stay, and she exceeded all expectations. Her communication was top-notch; we received regular updates and so many cute pictures that showed how happy and well-cared-for our pup was. She truly treated him like her own. We feel so lucky to have found her and will 100% book with her again!”

“Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.”

“Amber was very accommodating of our last minute request. We were glad to know our cat and dog were taken care of while we were away. She sent a few updates throughout the day and pictures were sent on request.”

“We have used Kaitlyn several times for sitting with our pup and cats. She’s always a pleasure. She has great communication and our babies love her. The house is always neat and clean when she leaves. We love having her sit for us!”

“Katie sent LOTS of updates and pictures. She was great with Willow and River, especially knowing River can be nervous with new people. She had him cuddling with her in no time. Would 100% recommend!”

“There are not enough words to praise Emily for the care she gave our baby!! It was the first time we ever left our dog with someone, and we were very nervous. That all disappeared the moment we met Emily. She was so good with our baby (and with us), that we knew we chose the perfect person. While we were gone, we received numerous photos and videos of our baby that proved to us that not only was she doing well, but she was happy, content, and was getting all the attention she needed. Emily stayed in our home; and when we returned, it was just as neat and clean as when we left it. Emily is the number one choice ALWAYS!!”

“Kaylynn was great with Ghost. She fed and walked him and cared for him like my dog was hers. Ghost ( my dog) has separation anxiety and Kaylynn is very kind and this helped a lot while I was away. I would definitely use Kaylynn again and would recommend her without hesitation.”

“Angela is such an amazing dog sitter! She is incredibly responsive and trustworthy. She absolutely adores my dog! She allows my dog to sleep on her bed every night! She sends me updates, pictures, and video clips of my dog on a daily basis. Not only does she take exceptional care of my dog, but she also does an excellent job of keeping our house tidy. She has definitely become our go-to home dog sitter!”

“Patrick was amazing,. I needed someone to sit my dogs last minute because a family member canceled and he was quick to reply. He took great care of them and went over and beyond to attend to all their needs. He sent me pics of them all weekend. I would highly recommend Pat if you’re looking for a good sitter.”


“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”

“Kai did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. They are a bit needy and love to bark, but she kept me updated for the duration of her stay, and sent lots for photos to me. She left the house spotless, and nothing was out of place when I returned home. I will definitely be booking with her again. 5/5 stars!!”

Avondale Melbourne Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauran was by far the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. We have two dogs, one of whom is very reactive around strangers and other dogs. A couple of weeks before our trip, Lauran met with us for a meet-and-greet and patiently sat with him until he warmed up to her and they became friends. We also had some specific instructions for caring for our reactive dog, and she followed them perfectly. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with messages and sweet photos of our boys, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be using Lauran again anytime we need a dog sitter in the future. Highly highly recommend!

Pat did a great job taking care of our cat, dog and house while we were away. He kept us regularly updated on the furbabies’ daily activities. He went above and beyond by watering plants and taking care of the house. Everything was well cared for and clean when we returned home. We will be happy to use his services in the future. Now we can travel with confidence knowing our pets are safe and happy.

Jocelyn was wonderful with my two dogs and two cats! She was very accommodating to their needs and flexible with scheduling. She offered to stay when my trip got extended and communicated throughout! Also, the house looked great when I returned :). She will be my first pick!

Madison did an amazing job pet-sitting for our golden retriever, Charlie, and our cat, Beesly. She followed all of our instructions carefully, gave both pets excellent care, and treated our home with respect while staying there. We came home to happy pets and everything exactly as we left it, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would absolutely book with her again!
What a wonderful experience we had with Kaylynn. My high anxiety puppy really loved staying with her. I had no worries whatsoever while we were away. This was our second experience with Kaylynn and I would not hesitate to book with her again. She was on time, professional, and just a pleasure.

Carla did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs over spring break. It was our first time using the Rover app and she the experience a breeze. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates; seeing them looking relaxed and happy really allowed us to enjoy our trip without any worry. Her communication was top-notch from start to finish—she was quick to respond and kept us informed every step of the way. We can't recommend her enough to other Rover users. If you are looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, Carla is the best!

Asher was incredible! She cared for my pup, Leo, while I was away, and her care was simply outstanding. She was so thoughtful and engaged. She sent frequent updates, adorable photos, and left my home spotless. Knowing Leo was in such caring hands made my trip even more enjoyable. It’s clear she has a gift for this, and Leo adored her. I am immensely grateful!

Cassie was kind enough to fill in for a different dog-sitter who cancelled on us truly at the last minute. She was super fast to respond and extremely flexible when we kept having to adjust our plans. We could immediately tell she had great energy that our anxious chihuahuas warmed up to very quickly. Would definitely book Cassie again. Thank you for being such a lifesaver!!
