“Kaitlan is very professional and communicated with me by text promptly every time. We are in a motorhome and use Rover to find out of town pet sitters so we can find a safe place for my pups to stay during the day while we tour different areas. She was great.”

About: I have animals of all kinds growing up! From a mountain lion, up to 7 dogs to reptiles! I have been exposed to it all and things rarely phase me! I work remotely so I am free almost all the time with a lot of flexibility for all your needs! I can work from anywhere so it is around your schedule and preference for the most part. When watching pets in a clients home I will follow their care guide and ask any questions as they come up! I will also thoroughly clean up any messes the pets may make in the home.
“Eliane was so great! Bumi seemed like he had lots of fun and was well cared for. She was great at communicating and letting me know details of Bumi's stay when I picked him up. Would definitely have her watch him again!”


“Jeremy was amazing! We were traveling through Louisville for the first time and he was able to watch our dogs while we attended the event. Super good with the dogs, gave them plenty of attention and exercise, and even gave us parking and food tips for the night. Couldn’t recommend more!”

About: I have years of experience providing reliable and passionate pet care for all ages and sizes. I am also experienced in puppy training, senior care, and providing medication if needed. I take the utmost care to ensure that your pup's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I work from home so I am flexible in that regard. I can take my work around any space if needed and work around your schedule. I clean up after pets thoroughly as well as provide them with lots of potty breaks and exercise. I never have them meet new dogs for their safety.

“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.”

“Missy was awesome! She sent plenty of pics and he was spoiled and loved on. Don't hesitate to use her services. Bosey loved her doggie and had a blast. He passed out in the car! Lol!”

“Absolutely some of the best caretaking Charlie has had! Lori was great with Charlie. We met beforehand with her sweet pup to make sure the dogs would get along, and I really appreciated her thoroughness and quick communication. During his stay, Charlie got to run around and play with other dogs at her home and her family’s farm, but also had time to rest and relax. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up and slept the whole way home! 10/10 would recommend Lori!!”

“Max is awesome. Kept me informed daily of Etta’s day. He clearly loves dogs!! He is gentle and kind to my baby. She liked him right away. He even wrote a poem about her!! Just loved everything about this experience 💕”

About: Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.
“My dogs just completed 2 days of day care with Suzann, and have a 5 day stay coming up with her soon. I’m so nervous to leave my pups, but she has been amazing with communicating, taking the time to get to know us, and being so accommodating and kind. I’m so relieved I found her and I feel so much better about my upcoming trip!”

“Breanna is great! We left our pup for daycare, she played, relaxed, and went on a walk. Breanna was very responsive and provided great updates. We would absolutely leave our pup with her again.”

“My husband and I are traveling in our RV and had booked a tour at the Louisville sluger Museum. So I opened my trusty Rover app and was fortunate to find marvelous Myrna!! My 2 girls (Havanese) had a wonderful time being spoiled and loved by Myrna in her home. Marna sent many pictures and I felt 100% comfortable that my girls were in good hands and I could enjoy our tour. Highly recommend! Would leave more than five stars if possible.”

About: I’ve always been the one friends and family when they need someone to love and care for their pets—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Spending time with animals is something that genuinely makes me happy. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, which means I have plenty of extra love, attention, and energy to give to yours. Lots of Free Time, with a Flexible Schedule I work part-time, which gives me the best of both worlds—structure and plenty of free time. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for your pup throughout the day, during evenings, and even at those odd or last-minute hours. Whether you need regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I have the time and commitment to make sure your dog feels cared for and never rushed. My Care Style Your dog’s comfort and happiness always come first. When they’re with me, they’re treated like part of the family—lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention included. I’m happy to follow your routines and preferences so your pup feels right at home, no matter where they are. Special Requests Every dog has their own quirks, routines, and favorite things. Please share any special requests or details about your dog ahead of time—I love learning what makes each pet unique and will do my best to keep their days feeling familiar and full of love. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to care for your pup even at the odd hours. With my flexible schedule you can rely on me to be there even in the tight times. Your fur baby will get plenty of love in my home between me and my friendly cat, Ambrose. I will usually let them roam free around the apartment and on my furniture unless otherwise noted. Basically, you tell me what it is you need from me at my home or yours and I will make it happen.

“Christina was incredibly accommodating, and took excellent care of Lillian, who was a little stressed over being someplace new for the first time. Wish I lived in the area so I could book her again; Christina was excellent and communicates well (and sent photos during the stay, which was a bonus!)”

Central Business District dog parents share their Rover experiences
So glad I found Elizabeth and Phillip to watch Casper when we came into town for an all day bourbon tour! Phillip works from home so Casper had company all day which he enjoys. Phillip has a gentleness you notice right away so you can tell all dogs must just fall in love with him. They have a large fenced in yard and Casper got a couple walks also. Lots of trees and sidewalks in their area for walks. Super convenient location, would definitely recommend them!

Jeremy was amazing! We were traveling through Louisville for the first time and he was able to watch our dogs while we attended the event. Super good with the dogs, gave them plenty of attention and exercise, and even gave us parking and food tips for the night. Couldn’t recommend more!

Corey kept my dog active, but also made time for snuggles and chill on the couch. I received adorable photos throughout his stay and I can tell that my dog was well cared for and enjoyed his time with Corey and his dog too. Very warm and friendly and a very good experience.
