About: I have had dogs all my life. I currently have two golden retrievers who run my world! One is 4 and the other is 8 months old. I am available to stay at your house overnight and during long periods of time. I am a full time ultrasound student in Louisville but my school schedule is very flexible so I can come home to let the pups out multiple times per day! I am currently a full-time sonography student in Louisville, but my class schedule is very flexible. I am also available all weekends. I am able to stay overnight and take your pups out multiple times per day. I have two golden retrievers of my own (they are cared for by my dad when I am gone so they would not be coming with me) and they are SPOILED rotten. I will make sure your pup is the same! I am very active and love going on walks so that would be a part of our daily activities.
About: I am a dog mom to two dachshunds named Bexley and Maeve. Bexley and Maeve love to have visitors to share their toys and treats with. We live in a townhouse that has access to a fenced in backyard and a fenced in dog park. We also love to drive 2 minutes down the road for a long walk at Highview Park. I do work from home, so I can give your furchild all the attention he/she wants or needs, which is why I only take 1-3 small dogs at a time. Should you decide to pick our home for your furchild's stay, you can expect frequent updates with photos and/or videos. Overall, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furchild is well loved while you are away. 🩷 I work from home which gives me the ability to provide constant attention and care. My work hours allow me to prioritize exercise and extra cuddles on the couch. I have a fenced in backyard that has a doggy door for easy access. We like to take walks 3 times a day if weather permits. If the weather is bad, we love to play tag and chase balls inside. To wind down in the evening, we love to snuggle on the couch and watch movies. Overnight, the dogs are permitted to sleep in the bed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail and the level of care and communication I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, or medication. I prioritize clear, ongoing communication by regularly checking in with owners, sending updates and photos, and making sure they feel confident about how their pets are doing. I’m also happy to help with small errands, such as picking up pet supplies or essentials, to make time away as stress-free as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. Not scared of dirty work, cleaning litter boxes, wiping paws and administering meds. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule. So I I have a lot of flexibility, for overnights and dropping by during the day. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary needs, exercise, and daily routines. Care includes providing fresh water, playtime, walks if needed, companionship, and administering medications as directed. I also maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, cages, and pet areas, and I ensure the home is left tidy and secure after each visit. I prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being while providing regular updates to owners for peace of mind.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and I have been pet/house sitting for about 10 years. I have always had pets and been around all different kinds of animals. I just graduated from law school, I started my new job post law school. I do work in an office, but I am able to stop in and make sure your animal is taken care of. I live in an apartment so I would prefer to take care of a pet at your home. I am happy to walk a dog on a leash, let them out to play, play with them, take them to a dog park.
“Zane warmed up to Annie right away upon her visit. When we got home from being away all day, Zane was perfectly normal and he’s a dog who has had separation anxiety in the past. Great photos of Zane while she was walking him; he looked like he enjoyed the time.”
About: I have been dog sitting since I was 16, and because I love animals, I truly enjoy providing loving, reliable, exceptional care for every dog. I work a part time/evening job so I am available to be with your babies for half the day, I am also available after work if needed. By carrying for your pets I will pay attention of when your pet wants to go outside, I will make sure that their bellies are full. I love to make sure that your pets have fun while playing with them and to make sure they feel comfortable in their own home.
“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog! She is always on time, gives us updates on the walks, and helps adjust to anything we might need for that particular day regarding the dog's needs. I would trust her with my dog any time!”
About: I've grown up taking care of animals of my own, from hamsters to dogs and cats. I live an active lifestyle and love to have a furry companion by my side when spending time in nature (and at home). I'm a college student that's home for the summer with open and flexible availability. Please feel free to reach out with questions! I have complete open availability as I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your friend the full attention they may need. I'm skilled at understanding animal needs, and I'm well-prepared for whatever needs your friend requires. If there's any uncertainty on my end, I will prioritize timely communication with you about next steps.
About: I believe every pet — whether they bark, purr, or both — deserves the same love, patience, and care they get at home. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, I make sure each visit is filled with comfort, play, and attention to their unique needs. From energetic pups to shy rescues and senior pets needing extra TLC, I adapt my care to match their personality. I’m dependable, easy to communicate with, and always happy to send updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy, safe, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I plan my schedule around giving each pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I make sure their routine feels just like home. I’m flexible with timing, responsive to last-minute needs, and committed to keeping pets happy and comfortable every single day. I care for pets like they’re my own, keeping their routine and comfort top priority. From feeding and walks to playtime, litter changes, and snuggles, I follow your instructions while giving them plenty of love and attention.
“Winnie looked like she was loving her walk! Oliver responded really quickly to requests, was quite communicative and I loved the photos! (I hav a hard time getting good ones of her.) Thanks, Oliver!”
About: I have experience watching all kinds of animals. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own so I am always around animals. I am only doing pet care at the moment, so my day is dedicated to it. I have full availability to take care of your special pets :) I am super respectful to your home and your pet(s). I am very attentive to the pet I am taking care of. I always make sure to have your baby in eyesight.
“Cassidy was responsive to messages before our trip and very accommodating in helping us set up a variable schedule of shorter and longer walks. We received pictures every day. Our dog refused to walk one day and Cassidy improvised by playing fetch with her.”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fern Creek. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fern Creek. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
