About: The thing that sets me apart from most? I'm very active, so I can keep up with a lot. I've had dogs my entire life. From saint Bernard's and my current Newfoundland, to teacup chihuahuas. My animals get the best care, and so will yours if you give me the pleasure of taking care of them❤️ I work full time (Friday-Monday) at the kentucky truck plant in louisville but have the rest of the week off. Usually I'm really active on my days off. So my dogs always go on runs on my off days. Your animals will get the best care possible. Whatever special care your animal needs, I will go above and Beyond for your four legged kid.
“"Cat's the best Rover EVER", says Freestyle. We agree. Came early, stayed a little late, Respected our RV 100%, and we could tell she walked him thoroughly, and he loved her. She was clearly experienced with dogs and Freestyle's calm behavior after our return is a testament to her confidence with her job today. Wish she was available everywhere we travel.”
“Nicole was so caring of our fur babies. She did a great job and sent us pictures of our clan over the days we were gone. Nicole communicated extremely well with every text I sent. I strongly recommend her for your fur babies.”

“Heather was an amazing sitter for our two pups. She was an incredible communicator, great attention to detail on our pet instructions, and really gave them a lot of attention and love. Definitely would recommend Heather to others.”
“Late in getting this posted but Savanna was wonderful! Highly highly recommend her. She was so incredible with our pack of 6 for the weekend. Such a kind young lady and such a pet lover! Total trust and confidence in her. We moved herea year and a half ago and had no idea how to find a reputable sitter until hearing about Rover from our local vet. First time using the service and got SO lucky meeting Savanna. Will exclusively schedule with hergpi g forward.”

Will definitely trust her again with our dog in the near future.”

“Miranda did a great job with our house sitting. She is a responsive communicator, great at giving updates and following instructions as needed to keep things in order while we had to be away, and has competitive rates. There’s a good chance we will add her to our standing rotation of sitting help!”
“Ami is an absolutely FANTASTIC sitter. I wanted to gatekeep how incredible she is so she doesn't get too booked up :). She took such incredible care of my dog while I was out of town and gave me tons of updates. I felt like I never even left my little guy with how fabulous her communication was. She also took great care of my house which is huge for us given how much we travel. 10/10 will be using Ami again for many sits in the future!”
About: I have worked in a vet care facility for almost a year and have a lot of animal experience. I take care of most of the animals in the boarding part of my work. Playing with pups is one of my specialties Currently taking care of animals is all I do in my free time, i am available in the morning at 6am. Please feel free to text me with additional questions. I have an invisible fenced in yard and have a very friendly golden retriever. I can do as many walks as needed and can crate your dog if needed
“Kaitlyn was absolutely a saving grace staying at our home and taking care of our fur babies. She is so amazing with our young dogs, energetic, bratty, and crazy as they are. She is patient and our chiweenie (who does NOT like strangers) was napping in her lap within 2 days. (We were SHOOK) She sends pictures several times a day along with any funny moments or important updates. (Which put our minds at ease our entire trip). Our fur babies are our children and having someone who we now trust and is so amazing with them… it’s such a weight lifted. It’s a miracle to find someone like Kaitlyn. 11/10 recommend her!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and would be honored to care for your furry family members. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large and small dogs, as well as indoor and feral cats, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, needs, and energy levels. My professional background is in senior care, where I coordinated care across West Louisville and served as an Activities Director in several local senior living communities. Those roles taught me the importance of patience, reliability, communication, and treating every individual with kindness and respect. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, a calm presence, or just someone dependable to keep their routine on track, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My 2-year-old loves dogs, and caring for pets is a sweet way for our family to spend time with animals while providing them with a loving, comfortable home environment. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but my kids and I are very active and love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention and playtime. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family with a safe, comfortable space to relax, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, meals and medications given exactly as instructed, and lots of love and supervision. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and can accommodate crate-trained pets if needed. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable in their familiar environment while providing reliable walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, litter box or potty cleanup, and any medication or special care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Christina was able to dog sit for me at the last minute and I am forever grateful! I am picky about sitters and Christina was a complete pro, I would recommend her. Super communicative, respectful house guest, and most importantly she kept Titus very happy while we were away.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Flaherty
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 176 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Flaherty. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Flaherty walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Flaherty maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Flaherty choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Flaherty. On Rover:

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.
