“Lauran is an absolute dream of a companion, house sitter, fur baby manager and lover, and just overall great human. Lauran was thoughtful, responsive and responsible in every way. From sharing pics of our Simon and Molly with us, to asking questions of us as needed, to her bubbly and positive personality, to her attention to detail, she will be our go to person every time we need someone who we trust to spend time at our home and with our pups. We came home to a house nice Ethan we left it a two dogs that were clearly well taken care of while we weee away. Thank you Lauran for being such a great Rover sitter! Thank you Lauran for giving us such peace found and comfort as we traveled.”

“Amber did a great job taking care of our two dogs and home. She sent pics and provided updates to reassure me throughout the week that all was going well. Dishes were washed, garbage taken out, bed sheets removed, fresh water for dogs, and our two dogs were happy and content upon our arrival back home. Thanks Amber! We really appreciate you!”

“Patrick was amazing,. I needed someone to sit my dogs last minute because a family member canceled and he was quick to reply. He took great care of them and went over and beyond to attend to all their needs. He sent me pics of them all weekend. I would highly recommend Pat if you’re looking for a good sitter.”

“Katie is a fantastic sitter! She took great care of my cat Boots, was responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day, and left my apartment in great condition. I would absolutely have her watch Boots again!”

“We have 2 large dogs, a puppy, and three cats - so its a lot of work- and Kaitlyn did a great job house sitting for us! All instructions were followed, pictures and videos were sent, good communication and respectful to our home! It's hard to find someone to step in fully when you are away but Kaitlyn does just that!”

“Angela did a great job caring for our pups as well as our home while we were away. We received updates with pictures from their walks, about their general health and well being. When we returned home the house was in perfect order. We will definitely trust Angela to care for our pups and our home again.”

“Joanna did a great job!! She was very communicative. She sent pictures of the pets regularly, followed all directions left, reached out with any questions, and left the house tidy upon the end of the service. She even came over a week before to meet the pets and familiarize herself with the location of foods and treats! Very thankful for her work!”


“Olivia was great!! Great communication, sent pictures and videos of our pup and was so helpful with our last minute booking. Will definitely be booking again for future needs, highly recommend to anyone searching for a sitter.”

“Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.”

About: While i had a beagle for 8 years growing up and learned a lot from that, my extended family would frequently rely on me for taking care of the many dogs through the years whenever they had a trip planned. i essentially grew up alongside all of them. i also helped a friend while they were going through training a puppy for service work so understanding how to teach commands is a little easier nowadays and i might begin puppy care in the future. i am free in the afternoon through nights everyday my calendar shows. my full week advance notice time allows me to plan around my responsibilities at home. i have learned to convince rather than force our furry friends into doing things they'd rather not do, like crate naps for going out and teaching how not to jump and so on. i have a lot of practice watching my surroundings to watch and avoid potential dangers, so i will make sure that walks are safe, for us and others.
“Emily was amazing. She watched our dogs all day while we were busy with holiday plans. She sent lots of pictures and was so intentional around care. My dogs are a bit reactive and she did great catering to their quirks. She's super friendly, great at communicating and overall and excellent pet sitter for anyone's pets.”

“As always, Jessie has done an amazing job watching our pups/cat! We received pictures at least two times a day and all the animals looked like they were having a great time. We couldn’t be more grateful.”

“Kai was very attentive and amazing with Wrigley. She sent updates frequently to check in and let me know my girl was doing well. I appreciate the quick communication and overall had an amazing experience!”


“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”

“I could not be happier with the care that Carla provided for my pets. She was attentive, responsible and caring while I was away. I highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you Carla!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for two decades. Friends, family and my own personal animals have always received incredible love and care from me.

I also have experience in giving animals their medications and I am very comfortable with special dietary needs. I work Tuesday through Friday, roughly 10-6. I am in the hair dresser industry so my schedule sometimes fluctuates to shorter days, but never longer. I will play with your animals in whatever way they need. Walks ✔️ Fetch ✔️ Dedicated enrichment time ✔️ Hide and seek and other games ✔️ Lots of snuggle time ✔️
Hikes Point pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauran was by far the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. We have two dogs, one of whom is very reactive around strangers and other dogs. A couple of weeks before our trip, Lauran met with us for a meet-and-greet and patiently sat with him until he warmed up to her and they became friends. We also had some specific instructions for caring for our reactive dog, and she followed them perfectly. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with messages and sweet photos of our boys, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be using Lauran again anytime we need a dog sitter in the future. Highly highly recommend!

Pat did a great job taking care of our cat, dog and house while we were away. He kept us regularly updated on the furbabies’ daily activities. He went above and beyond by watering plants and taking care of the house. Everything was well cared for and clean when we returned home. We will be happy to use his services in the future. Now we can travel with confidence knowing our pets are safe and happy.

Madison did an amazing job pet-sitting for our golden retriever, Charlie, and our cat, Beesly. She followed all of our instructions carefully, gave both pets excellent care, and treated our home with respect while staying there. We came home to happy pets and everything exactly as we left it, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would absolutely book with her again!
Carla did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs over spring break. It was our first time using the Rover app and she the experience a breeze. We especially appreciated the daily photo updates; seeing them looking relaxed and happy really allowed us to enjoy our trip without any worry. Her communication was top-notch from start to finish—she was quick to respond and kept us informed every step of the way. We can't recommend her enough to other Rover users. If you are looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, Carla is the best!

Asher was incredible! She cared for my pup, Leo, while I was away, and her care was simply outstanding. She was so thoughtful and engaged. She sent frequent updates, adorable photos, and left my home spotless. Knowing Leo was in such caring hands made my trip even more enjoyable. It’s clear she has a gift for this, and Leo adored her. I am immensely grateful!

Cassie was kind enough to fill in for a different dog-sitter who cancelled on us truly at the last minute. She was super fast to respond and extremely flexible when we kept having to adjust our plans. We could immediately tell she had great energy that our anxious chihuahuas warmed up to very quickly. Would definitely book Cassie again. Thank you for being such a lifesaver!!
Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!
