“Initially booked for boarding, however Tabitha’s dog and ours was incompatible. Tabitha allowed us to do a meet and greet prior to boarding which was very nice. Tabitha agreed to come over to our house two to three times a day to take Tango for a walk and provided pictures. Also very nice. Tabitha understood the reasons why we felt uncomfortable with boarding and was professional during the situation.”
“Annie was amazing! Our dog has a lot of difficulty eating when we are out of town and she was so patient and creative with getting him to eat. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again, our favorite dog sitter ever!”
About: I’ve had animals literally my entire life. I love all types of animals from the fun to the lazy. I’ve had cats my whole life and I’ve had a few dogs as well. I currently have three cats and one dog I currently work three days a week and I’m off for four. I kinda choose my own schedule but I get it at least a month in advance For dogs it’s constant play time, potty times, and walks. For cats it’s playing, cuddles, and giving them their space because I know how some cats are
About: For me, pet sitting on Rover is so much more than a job—it is a true passion rooted in 30 years of dedicated animal care experience. Over the decades, I have had the absolute joy of looking after all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats and small animals. I know firsthand that every single pet is a cherished family member with their own unique personality and routine. Because of this lifelong background, I am incredibly adaptable; I know exactly how to keep up with a high-energy puppy, gently comfort a shy senior cat, or carefully manage specialized feeding schedules for your pets. I treat every animal in my care exactly how I would want my own pets to be treated: with endless patience, safety, and deep affection. Leaving a pet can be stressful for owners, so I always leverage my decades of experience to prioritize clear communication, reliability, and daily updates that give families complete peace of mind. I am fully confident in my ability to connect with and care for any type of pet, and I am dedicated to making sure both you and your companion feel completely safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work as a handy-man so my hours are flexible enough to need your pets every needs from stopping by and playing multiple times a day to sitting with them all day and night. I also have an animal friend home with pleanty of play area and 1 acre of fenced in yard for them to play. My 3 dogs and 3 cats welcome any animal into the household with open paws. My gentle giant st. Bernard and German shepherd are rough enough to play tug of war with the biggest of dogs but gentle enough to cuddle and protect a 5lb teacup Yorkie.
About: Caring for other is my passion. Whether it's people or pets. I love animals and treat them like another member of the family. I grew up with pets and I've cared for them my entire life. I also have a nack for training dogs as well. I potty trained my dog and taught her to open doors and take items to others. I can provide play data as well with family members who have pets as well with other rover customers if desired. I live in a safe and clean environment that will foster a great experience for all parties. I'm looking to build long lasting relationships with all pets and their owners. Choosing me will be a great choice. Have a great day. Thank you for your consideration.
About: I've never had a time without pets in my life. Ever since I was born I had cats, dogs, mice, fish, even chinchillas! A good thing about me is that I always like to research things before I take something on. If there were any health issues or anything I would try my hardest to learn everything I could about it. Hey! I'm currently working as a waitress at nights but my mornings and early afternoons are free! I love being active and bringing a furry friend along just makes that even better. As a dog walker, I put their safety first, just as I do with my own babies. I don't like walking into new areas without making sure they're safe first. You just never know how the surroundings could be.
About: Hello, my name is Bella Bowles and I have been sitting for friends and family for 5 plus years and on top of that I am a veterinary assistant that also has some experience with working at a dog groomers! I have a ton of experience working with animals big or small! I am also used to working with some aggression in animals so if you need someone who you feel needs experience with that, I’m your gal! I’m excited for you to have me as a consideration and I hope to have contact soon! Thanks, Bella Bowles 🐾 Pet care is my job 24/7, since I am a veterinary assistant I have the mindset of doing whatever I need to do to make your pet safe, comfortable and healthy! That’s making sure they are walked, fed and cared for to the best of my ability. When I take care of my own animals and or my clients animals I make sure that their routine is not disrupted. Creating a low stress environment is really important to me. I make sure they use the restroom at a regular time, get their medications on time (if needed), go on walks, fed and of course playtime and cuddles! I also provide care to your home as well making sure nothing is disturbed or disrupted during your time away!
About: I have several years of pet care experience, watching animals of any kind and loving every minute of it! I have participated in training my own dog and have rescued and re homed several cats. I share experience in watching/walking dogs in training and those of senior age groups, I’m an animal lover at heart. I am a college student but am flexible at different times throughout the week depending on the times needed. My schedule is consistently open on weekends! I consider myself a responsible person when it comes to pet care. I am attentive, perceptive and understand every pet has a different personality. I hold a good routine in mealtime, bathroom breaks and make sure to give plenty of playtime or cuddles to pets who are interested!
“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.”
“Everything went very well! Aiden kept in touch with me, sending pictures of the boys, which helped me feel better about leaving them. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs.”
About: Since graduating high school, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve pet‑sat on and off over the last few years and am hoping to take on more jobs this summer before starting my senior year of college in August. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I can’t wait for the opportunity to work with you and your pets! I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time each day to focus on caring for pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to give consistent attention and maintain a reliable routine for your pet. I always prioritize safety and comfort, whether that means supervised outdoor play, quiet indoor time, or crating if needed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean, and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I adopted a rambunctious shelter cat 5 years ago. She’s a wild child with a big personality! And I took in a stray cat about 2 years ago, who needed lots of care, including surgeries, food insecurity behaviors, etc. I’ve cared for cats my entire life, but these 2 girls have taught me how to handle the extremes. I am very knowledgeable about cats and their needs, and I can promise you, your baby will be taken care of as if they were my own (aka like perfect princess angels that I’d go to war for) I work from home, so I can immediately take care of any and all needs. I frequently check on my 2 cats, and have no issue stepping away from my desk if needed. In my home: My 2 cats have their own bedroom, catered to their playtime and nap time. They have free rein of the house, and are very welcoming to other cats. They are up to date on vaccinations and vet care, and they do not go outside for their safety. In your home: I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, with kindness and patience. I will follow your routine. I will be sure to change my clothes and take off my shoes to avoid any anxiety from smells of my own pets.

We booked with Penny, very last minute, she was responsive and pleasant. She fit a meet and greet in with us last minute as well. She went over everything, went through what her time with them would look like and answered any questions we had. She was GREAT with our dogs and they were very well taken care of. She was attentive to them and their needs! I highly recommend booking with her. We will definitely be a repeat customer! Carrie

FAQs for House Sitting - Floyds Knobs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 720 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Floyds Knobs. 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 Floyds Knobs 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 Floyds Knobs 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Floyds Knobs 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
