“Chris was fantastic - he looked after my dog and 9 month old kitten for a few days over the holidays. He went above and beyond - checking on them more frequently than I’d required/expected and sent plenty of updates and photos. My dog doesn’t usually eat when I’m away but he seems to have eaten with Chris which is amazing - shows me he felt safe and loved while I was away. Thank you!”

“I just returned home. My home is in perfect shape, and my pup, Villa, is calm and happy. I hope things went as well for Alan as they seem to have for Villa! I hope next time I travel that Alan is available!”


About: I grew up with dogs and have always been around animals. I now have two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I’m a fourth-year medical student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be reliable, attentive, and available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also training for a half marathon, so I’m very active and happy to take dogs on longer walks or runs depending on their energy level and comfort. Whether your pet prefers a relaxed stroll or a more energetic outing, I’ll make sure they get the care, exercise, and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, communication, and your pet’s well-being.
“Bayley took great care of our big boy goldendoodle! She provided frequent updates while we were away and was extremely responsive. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“I am so glad Donai was in town and able to sit for Leo on such short notice. I had Donai sit before Rover and did an amazing job, Leo loves Donai and I was updated with pictures during the visits. I give 5 stars for sure! Highly recommended ❤️”

About: I have been taking care and sitting pets since I was 16. I was raised having both cats and dogs, I love animals and playing with them! I am currently a student at the University of Louisville! Therefore, I have the time to be able to be a sitter and be flexible to accommodate needs and wants. At my house I have a dog and cats, they are well fed according to their schedule. While at other people’s homes I accommodate to the wants and needs of the clients as well as what their fur babies may need. For example, longer more frequent walks, or more playtime and attention.
“Jenna was very attentive with my dog and with taking in all of my instructions and notes about him. She sent me pictures and kept me updated throughout the day. Highly recommend as a sitter and will definitely book with her again should an opportunity come up again!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals, including horses, and often care for friends’ dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving pets meaningful interaction, exercise, and dependable daily care. I’m a fourth-year medical student with a mostly asynchronous online schedule, so I’m home often with a very flexible routine, making me consistently reliable for pet care. I live alone in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood and can closely follow your pet’s routine. I’m home often, very accessible, and provide safe, consistent supervision.

About: I am a current 4th year medical student and prior pet owner looking to help take care for, walk, or simply check in on your beloved pet. Given my free time now this year, pet care fits into my schedule in whatever capacity my clients need me. I would love to walk your pet but am also open to going over for feedings if your out of town or simply checking in on them in an emergency. I am most comfortable in walking, light cleaning, feedings, as well as house sitting or having your beloved pet over at my house while you are out of town.
“Brooke was great! She updated me all during my trip and sent pics every day! The pips were well taken care of and she even went above and beyond so I came home to a clean house. We will definitely reach out to Brooke again if needed!”

About: Things that set me apart from other sitters are I can give love, attention and stimulation to the animal. I have a German shepherd that needs lots of stimulation to keep him occupied! It could fit into my daily and weekly routine easily because I am a nanny and could easily stop what we are doing and go and let them out and give them lots of attention and cuddles. I currently have a year and a half year old German shepherd which comes with lots of attention and brain games for him. I also have a cat that is more laid back
“Willow was wonderful with my 13 year old dog. He was flexible and easy to work with. Stayed at my house until I returned home! Reliable, stayed in touch with pictures and texts. Willl use him again!”

“Jessica was very sweet with my pup, and took great care of my home while I was away. She sent photos and made my time away stress free. Jessica is a kind a compassionate person who loves animals, and she was great. Thank you Jessica!”

About: I’ve loved dogs (and cats) since I can remember! I’ve taken care of dogs for about 3 years now, whether that be family, friends, and/or neighbors pets. I am a full time student at the University of Louisville but will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available during the week and some weekends. I keep my eyes on your fur baby at all times to ensure they’re not getting into any trouble and are safe. Will follow all instructions regarding your fur baby.
“Annika was an excellent dog sitter! She was a great communicator and sent pics and videos of our pup while we were away. We would absolutely book Annika again without hesitation!”

About: There is nothing in the world like a dog. I absolutely love them all. Four legged monsters looking for a good time and I love it. I am a tennis pro and I usually travel for work so when I’m home, I’m free to watch the dogs almost all the time. Being a tennis pro, I keep some tennis balls within arms reach. Outside of the fun stuff though, I’m practically always available and what better way to use that time than to play with dogs. At my home it is fenced in so my dogs have a place to run around. With the clients home, I can make it fun and safe within the parameters that they set like I’ve done in my home.
About: Animals bring me so much joy, especially dogs. I truly think they are part of the family and I will treat yours as if they were children. I have almost always had one furry friend or another including cats, dogs, and rabbits. I currently have a large senior dog who needs a little special care and daily medication so I am comfortable giving those if needed. Exercise is also very important whether its going for multiple walks or just playing in the house or yard. Let me take care of your pets when you can't. I have full availability weekdays and weekends for boarding. I can also provide walks any time of the day, whatever works best for your schedule. Whatever your dog needs, I can provide. I like to be at your home because that's where your pet is most comfortable. My fur baby has anxiety worse than most people I know so I know how to be patient while giving extra love. Treats also help.
Germantown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brooke was fantastic! She stayed with our 2 dogs and 2 cats for 5 days/5 nights. Her communication was impeccable. She provided multiple updates and pictures daily. We have a very rambunctious German Shorthaired Pointer, and Brooke was so very patient with him. She is also a cat whisper as she convinced our extremely shy kitty to come out of his normal hiding place. She went above and beyond to brush our dogs’ teeth, walk our crazy pups, and even put our recycling cans out for pickup. Brooke gave our fur kids lots of attention and left the house tidy. I would highly recommend Brooke for any pet sitting needs!

Anthony is amazing!! We had a sitter cancel last minute and reached out to Anthony. He responded right away and was happy to watch our energetic pitbull for a week despite the very short notice. He sent us lots of pics throughout the week and we were able to enjoy our vacay knowing our pup was being well taken care of. We came home to a clean house and happy pup!

Emily has got it all together. Rover is lucky to employ her. She did terrific with our 4 yr old Golden Retriever so much so I think he was sad to see us come in and not Emily. We have very shy cats and everyday she did her best to become friends with them.We would not hesitate to use Emily again!
DeAndria was absolutely amazing to our pups! One of our dogs requires a lot of attention & patience and she met his needs flawlessly. They got lots of love, snuggles, and walks! She sent us photos every day too which was much appreciated. We will absolutely book with her again!

Keely was amazing! She was incredibly communicative and so helpful! Our boy tore a nail while we were gone during Christmas and Keely let us know immediately and helped us coordinate and get him to the vet. It was seamless and we rested easy knowing our dog was good hands. We would be so happy to hire her again!

Rose has been an exceptional pet sitter! She not only is responsible and caring for our pets in our home on multiple occasions, she also takes such great professional photos of our pets! We love having Rose care for our pets while we are away. Great communicator! Flexible! And dependable! Thank you, Rose!
