“Joanna takes good care of my kitty. She sent us some pictures during our travel. Thanks to her, our travel was with no worries. This is the first time I hire a pet sitter through Rover, and I am pretty satisfied.”
“Asher was phenominal with our pets. She has been the only one where our animals did not act up. She treated them with love and care. When we were delayed she went out of her way to check in on them one more time. I would recommend Asher to any one who is looking for someone to watch their pets.”
“Mariah did a phenomenal job taking care of our three pets. She went beyond our expectations and our pets loved her. My wife and I were very satisfied with her updates and her general care for our pets and would highly recommend her and request for her services again if needed.”
“Catherine is absolutely fantastic! She takes the time to truly care for your dog and goes above and beyond. She really helped us out with handling our new puppy! She even was able to teach him a few basic commands during her drop in visits. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
About: As a pet mom who's been using Rover since 2020, I've met all kinds of pet sitters and learned about their different pet care styles. Being on the other side of things, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with unfamiliar people. I want to help other pet families feel comfortable knowing their babies are in good hands! I grew up with dogs for most of my life and currently have a dog named Ivan and a cat of my own named Francis. I've always been a huge animal lover and a major empath, especially when it comes to animals. I'm even vegan, if that tells you anything! If I had it my way, I'd probably have a house full of animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I genuinely love getting to know animals and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. I promise to treat your babies with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own! I'm currently a college student with a pretty short work schedule from 2:45 PM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Thursday. I'm a major homebody who enjoys watching movies, playing board games, and reading books, so I spend most of my time at home. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day without having to worry about them being alone for long periods of time. I'm a very routine based pet owner. I follow consistent feeding times, wash my pets' bowls twice a day, and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I'm more than happy to follow whatever routine your pets are used to! As someone who has used Rover for years, I personally love receiving lots of pictures and updates of what my dog, Ivan, is doing during his stay. I know how reassuring it is to see that your pets are happy, comfortable, and being well taken care of. I also understand how important it is to keep a safe environment, whether that's making sure food is put away, keeping things out of reach, or simply paying attention to what your pets are getting into. I promise to respect your home, follow your instructions, and care for your babies as if they were my own!
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.
“She is one of the best sitters to watch over my cats, she immediately made sure to get to their comfort levels to take care of them properly. 💕”
“Janae was excellent with my cats! She provided great updates and sweet photos. I felt at peace while leaving my cats with her. I look forward to booking Janae in the future!”
About: I have taken care of many sizes of dogs. I am also able to administer medication if needed. I love taking them on walks and spending extra time playing with your pet if you are gone for long periods of time I work at Louisville Athletics and can make my schedule flexible if needed. I am able to take your pet on a walk after work if you have events or late work responsibilities. I would be willing to come and stay with your pet. I feel that animals feel most comfortable and confident when they are in their own/known surroundings. I feel this causes less stress and can make the pet sitting more enjoyable for the pet and make the owner more relaxed knowing where they are.
About: I have grown up with all types of animals my whole life. I have a deep love and connection with animals. I have one cat right now and I care for a friends giant Schnauzer as needed. I am able to feed your babies and take them for walks or just some fun play time . I work Monday through Thursday 6am-430pm I am available after work and on the weekends. I can do overnight at your home or just come for feeding or walks. I do work in Louisville and I’m there a lot so the distance is no problem. I can have animals overnight at my place but only on the weekends Thursday evening to Sunday evening . My cat has 3 towers for play and many other toys. I clean her box 3/4 times a week, and check food and water daily.
About: I’ve dog sat and house sat for friends before and they have trusted me with their house and animals, generally for 1 week but sometimes for longer or shorter. I take very good care of the home and animals, listen to instructions careful and apply those instructions in order to be helpful. I will always be upfront and honest with everyone and I always communicate well. I currently work as a full time server at Texas Roadhouse and live by myself. I am not married nor have any kids yet so it’s just me. My schedule is pretty flexible in the morning to early afternoon due to having to serve at night generally. I don’t mind coming in to help before and after work. I don’t have any pets in my own home because I can’t due to landlord rules but I grew up with animals throughout my whole life. I play with the animals if they want to play, pet them, feed them when they need to be fed, take them on walks (dogs), just have fun with them!

“I am Very pleased with the care Kristen provided my cats. In addition to feeding and attending litter box needs, she also took the time to sit with my cats and provide them with some love and attention. The pictures received after each visit were greatly appreciated and helped me not worry about as much about them.”
“Anne did a wonderful job of caring for our boys. She sent lots of pics, stayed in regular contact with us, and was extremely dependable. During an extreme heat wave, she asked us, then altered her visits so that boys could take walk during cooler hours. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”
“I was so happy to be able to book Donai again. Second time’s a charm! I knew my cats were in great hands, and I always loved seeing the Rover reports and pictures while I was enjoying my trip. Thanks for your flexibility and your clear communication!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hurstbourne Acres
Melanie has been my pet sitter for six months now and is with my dog most days of the week. I was nervous when I first reached out to Melanie because my dog is not easy by any means--she is high-strung and high-maintenance. And yet, Melanie has never given me a reason not to trust her. She is dependable, trustworthy, and experienced. With Melanie, I do not worry about my dog when I am gone on my long work days. I come home and my pup is happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Melanie's services.
Joanna was fantastic! She took such good care of our pups. Provided great updates after visits and pictures. We are visiting Louisville from out of town and knowing she was able to check in on the dogs gave us piece of mind. Would definitely book her again next time we are back.
Absolutely loved having Ashlea care for our girl gang of kitties! 2 of our girls are newly adopted shelter kittens and very shy. They didn’t hesitate for one second to get close with Ashlea and I could tell they quickly looked forward to seeing her each day. She will definitely be my go-to for pet sitting from now on. Thankful for the great care she took of our pets and our home ☺️
Jian looked after my cats for two weeks when I was on vacation. She did absolutely amazing job and my cats loved her so much. She communicated very promptly, super gentle to my babies and maintained everything exactly as I expected. She also sent me pictures and videos every visits. Highly recommended.
Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!
Alex was an amazing sitter and was able to provide services last minute. My girls were very comfortable and appreciated meeting beforehand. Instructions were followed well and Alex reached out when further clarification was needed, which I very much appreciated.
Caisey was both professional and friendly! She really took the time to get to know my cat and made sure to accommodate care to her level of comfort. She was reliable, communicative, and overall a really great pet sitter! It was our first time leaving our fur baby for longer than a couple of days - Caisey was very understanding and sent TONS of photos throughout the care experience. Definitely recommend her to anyone needing an invested pet sitter!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hurstbourne Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hurstbourne Acres is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $21 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 1,150 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hurstbourne Acres. 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 Hurstbourne Acres. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
