About: Grew up on a farm with 20 dogs. I had my own dogs and have cared for family and friends’ dogs and cats for years. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. Whether it’s keeping them company, going for walks, playing or sticking to their routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed and plenty of love and attentions. I also respect my clients’ home by keeping them clean, secure, and following all instructions to make sure that both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

About: What sets me apart from others sitters? Well I don’t always sit. I get up and move around making sure your favorite gets the exercise they need and deserve. It’s important to me that I give my clients value. While pet setting I can also help clean and organize for extra compensation. I want you to return to your home and pet satisfied and unburdened. I spend the time to build rapport with your pet so that they are happy and healthy. We can look at each other’s schedules and see if it works. If it does awesome!!! Yay for Us. If not we can figure something out. I even have some friends on this app that I can refer. I can accommodate your pet in just about anyway that you need. You just let me know of specifications and I can assist them. Within means that is.

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand that every pet has their own quirks and their own way of communicating what they need. I currently have both a dog and a cat of my own, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I’m attentive, patient, affectionate, and happy to follow the routines and instructions that help your pet feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet wants lots of attention and playtime or just needs a calm, dependable person nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is being cared for like one of my own. My schedule can vary, but I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s needs. I review each request individually based on my availability, so feel free to reach out and we can see if we’re a good fit! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure I understand your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before caring for them. I have a cozy, active home with three kids, a dog, and a cat, so I want to make sure any pet staying with us is comfortable in that environment. My yard is not fenced, so dogs will always be supervised and leashed outside. We live in a walkable neighborhood with plenty of opportunity for walks and exercise. When caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of both your pet’s routine and your space. I’ll do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable so your pet feels safe while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved spending time with them! I also have experience dog sitting, so I understand how important it is to know your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. As a former college athlete, I love staying active and would be happy to take your dog on walks, play outside, or simply spend time keeping them company. My background in healthcare has also taught me to be attentive, patient, and dependable. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to making sure each one receives the care and attention they deserve! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care! I currently balance volunteering, research, and staying active, which gives me flexibility throughout the week and on weekends. I love spending time outdoors and going on walks, so incorporating your dog’s exercise and playtime into my daily routine comes naturally. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously! Having grown up with dogs and cared for others’ pets, I know that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routines. I do my best to maintain their normal schedule, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I always prioritize their safety and comfort. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands while you’re away!

About: I believe you can tell everything you need to know about a person by the way they treat animals. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life. After my 14 year old Labrador passed away, I became a foster home for needy dogs, through GRANND. I learned a lot about sick and abused dogs over those years. Most recently I have been house and dog sitting for a family in Louisville. I specialize in disabled and medical care your dog may need. I currently have an open schedule now that my teen is getting older. I look forward to spending my time with your dog, soon. I also have experience with care of birds and rabbits. Please no cats, due to allergies. I am currently a mother of one teenage girl. She needs me less so I have a very flexible schedule. I look forward to spending more time with animals. I will care for animals at your home. I am also happy to take your dog to the park, or wherever you prefer. My schedule is flexible.

About: Over the years we've owned 4 cats, 7 dogs, 21 chickens, some fish, a guinea pig, and a bearded dragon. As a kid, neighbors trusted me to feed & walk their pets. Now, I have experience watching big dogs like great pyrenees, small dogs like Dachshunds, & even cats. I work part time at Costco & full time work has been hard to find since graduating so I can definitely use the extra money. Even on days I have work, I can be available at certain times to feed/walk your baby! I make sure your baby's water bowl is filled before I leave. Cuddles are very important so there will be plenty of those after walk/playtime.

About: Some old neighbors of mine have always trusted me to pet sit their animals every time they leave for vacation. I love caring for any and all animals! I’m currently unemployed, and am a new, soon mom to be!! I can unfortunately no longer work with kitties, due to the risks of cleaning litter boxes while pregnant. I’m very grateful to be able to say that I am a very reliable sitter for anyone feeling a little uneasy of leaving their pets to someone new! I have an amazing reference if anyone may need her, I’d be more than willing to provide you that information!! 🥰I have a big heart and passion for any and all animals, and my main mission is for your fur babies to have such a fun time, they forget mom/dad even left!! I always hear of these stories of people leaving pets with unreliable people, that some get depression, I’ve known of someone who had a bird that would tear out all of his feathers from anxiety from a sitter that was never there enough with them, and it just hurt my heart to hear of any animals not getting the love and care they deserve! I always work with the animals to create a bond of happiness and fun while mom/and or dad is away. I always change out water bowls as soon as they need a cleaning, check food and replenish, as well as clean any pens, pastures, etc, I also have experience with horses feeding, grooming, mucking stalls, Horse riding, washing, etc; although I can no longer ride currently😅but I am always ready to learn new things!! During my stays in client’s homes, I also like to tidy up such as sweeping, vacuuming and mopping, as well as taking out trash, washing and putting away dishes and such. I try to leave the impression of looking better than it was left!!

About: I have nearly 10 years of hands on childcare experience and have cared for pets alongside families for years, so safety, structure, and attentiveness are second nature to me. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and ability to read behavior cues quickly. I am experienced with puppies and young pets who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and extra monitoring. Special skills include: • Puppy basics and reinforcement of training routines • Crate training support • Maintaining structured feeding and potty schedules • Senior pet support and comfort care • Administering oral medications • High energy breed management • Detailed updates with photos and communication you can rely on I treat every pet like they are my own while respecting your household rules and routines. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work as a nanny, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule. During the school year, I often have breaks in the day while the child is at school or activities, which allows me time for drop in visits, walks, and check ins. I do not work late evenings, and my weekends are typically open, which gives me consistent availability for overnight stays and extended care. Because I’m already in a caregiving role professionally, being attentive, reliable, and routine oriented is built into my day to day life. Caring for animals complements my schedule well and allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in the environment where they feel most comfortable and secure. I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and household rules exactly as outlined. I am extremely respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I would my own. Cleanliness, security, and clear communication are very important to me. You can expect reliable updates, photos, and prompt responses while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, low stress experience so your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in their familiar space.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. On the farm and in the home. From horses to Guinea pigs to fish. We’ve had it all. I set my own hours due to being self employed so I have the availability to to give care at anytime needed. My schedule is pretty open other than weekends. I recently lost my boxer and cat of 15 years this year and last. As a teenager I grew up on a farm and tended to animals.

About: Having grown up and worked on a farm until moving to Louisville four years ago, I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and other fowl. Along with providing routine daily care, I am experienced in handling basic needs across various levels of veterinary emergencies. While I am currently enjoying my time in grad school, I truly miss being around animals every day and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I'm a full-time grad student, my schedule allows me time in the morning, in the evenings and throughout the weekend to look after your pet. I can be flexible and am open to talking and finding a time that can work for both of us! While I have much experience with animals, I do recognize that everyone has different needs. I'm looking forward to meeting each animal and learning about their individual personalities as well as their needs. I promise to communicate as openly as possible to bring as much peace of mind as I can while you are away from your pet and your home. I understand that there is a level of trust that comes with having someone new in your home, so I am open to answering any questions you may have so that this can be a smooth and comfortable process for both of us.

About: Keeping tails wagging! With a lifetime of loving my own fuzzy family members, and over ten years of pet-sitting experience, I’ve never met a pet I couldn’t befriend. I provide attentive, dependable care with plenty of playtime and love, so your furry babies stay happy, and you feel at ease. I own a business and make my own work schedule, so I can be available to hang out with your pets as you need me to. I want your babies to feel happy and safe having me in their space, especially when they miss you, so I approach their space with calm and kindness every time. I follow their lead for the duration of the stay to make sure they feel properly cared for during the time that their daily routine is out of place.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Finchville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Finchville is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,172 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Finchville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Finchville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
