I am a stay at home person with lots of flexibility. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your care instructions closely, provide real time updates, and create a calm and loving environment where they feel secure and seen. You can trust that your pet is in thoughtful, experienced hands every step of the way.

About: Owned dogs since I was young and I’ve sat for dogs for the last 8+ years. Experience with many different breeds, ages and temperaments. Just a girl with a soft spot for every dog! During weekends I am available all day, everyday and ensure to get multiple walks, potty breaks and playtime dates into the day. During the week I do work but am home every 4-6 hours to ensure potty breaks and exercise. I live in an apartment complex that offers multiple dog runs/parks. I also walk my own dog 3-5 times per day outside in the neighborhood. I am open to crating or freedom around the apartment based on what the dog needs.
About: Hi. I'm Malcolm, I have been a pet care extraordinaire for over 5 years. My love for animals has been ignited for longer than i can remember and I never get enough of loving all the uniquely named fur babies. Hope to meet yours soon! I currently work a full time until 4pm Monday-Friday. I am available for drop-ins, overnights, evening visits, pet sitting, 1 animal boarding. Flexibility is my specialty. I have a fenced in backyard and am located near multiple parks within walking distance for the pups. I am happy to provide company for the occasional friendly cat as well.
“Amber was once again amazing with my kitties. I came back to happy healthy well-fed kitties, and she made sure to keep me updated with pics and little blurbs about how the visits went. She also went above and beyond as always. 10/10 would book again.”

“Kaitlyn was amazing! She came over and met our pup beforehand and he got to know her. We did 3 drop in visits and it worked out perfectly for our weekend getaway. Communication was excellent - she updated us with pictures and really made us feel that our pup was safe and secure. Can’t wait to book her for our next getaway! Thank you again!”


“Carla did a great job with our cat, Tia. Tia is very shy and Carla brought her food to her when she wouldn't come out. Tia also requires pills and powders to manage a health condition which Carla handled with ease. Carla sent lots of updates and photos so we felt comfortable that Tia was being well cared for! We'll definitely use her again when we need a sitter.”

“Brittney did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Ziggy. Brittney communicated well, with pictures and updates about Ziggy and our house (there were bad storms while we were away). Ziggy got lots of love, playtime, a clean litter box, and was well-fed everyday.”

About: Hi, I’m Clay! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved being around dogs. I have a 5-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog who’s been my best friend since he was a puppy, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience and care I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m able to provide dependable care throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free. Ill keep your home clean and respect your space while you’re away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for until you return.
About: I am a state certified veterinary technician and also someone who has had a love for all animals since I was a kid. I've been helping all animals personally (and then professionally) for years...actually decades! I treat all fur-babies as I would my own. The unconditional love we receive from our pets is something I treasure and never take for granted. Whether young pups and kittens, or senior dogs and cats, I give them all the attention and love they deserve and crave (especially while their parents/owners are away). My schedule is currently wide open, as I have just moved back to Prospect, KY recently and am looking for the right fit in a veterinary clinic or animal hospital. My schedule is quite flexible, so I can work around yours. With my state certified veterinary technician license I am able to do things that others are not. I can also tell you what may be a start of an ear infection or allergies or nothing at all! I enjoy going to dog parks, taking walks, playing fetch (or keep away haha) but also enjoy the quiet calm time while rubbing bellies and brushing hair. Also dog massages for the senior dogs helps tons with their aches and pains and I more than willing to assist. It actually puts them in a calming trance. Cats and I are a sort of soul mate (maybe it’s the name haha) but I have dealt with watching 5 cats at an owners house and 3 of the 5 had special medical needs that I was more than happy to help! They started booking me a year out ahead of time if they could!
About: I am an avid dog lover who will have your dog's safety as the number one priority. I have owned heelers, hound breeds, and pit bulls, throughout my life which has allowed me to gain valuable experience with high energy breeds. I have a lot of patience with dogs and welcome all, even if you’re still working on potty training, chewing, etc. I’m currently on a break from nursing since my most recent travel contract ended last month, meaning I’m available every day and will be able to give your baby the time and attention they need and you’d want them to have while you’re away.

Bonus: My husband works at metro animal shelter and is amazing with all animals! My house has a huge fenced in backyard that allows for extended periods of safe supervised play and exercise. If you are wanting your baby to work on socialization skills, my husband and I will be happy to provide that with our two dogs as well. (No extra cost of course).

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been caring for the animals of friends and family for many years. I have experience caring for puppies and older dogs. I understand how hard it is to leave the furry member of the family to someone else’s care so I am dedicated to treating them as my own. I am currently a PhD student so I have many flexible hours throughout the day. With access to a car, I can reliably drop in and walk animals several times a day if needed. I can come to the home to care for and walk pets as needed. I know how to walk dogs of many sizes safely and have even leash trained my cat. Pets have different care needs and I am well equipped to adapt to each pet.
About: I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with plenty of space outdoors, perfect for the frequent pit stop and play time. Just down the street from me is a beautiful dog park, with lots of space to run, play, and socialize with other dogs! I would be thrilled to provide a comfortable and safe environment for your loved ones, worry free for both you and them, while on vacation. I'm an animal lover and can promise you they'll receive lots of attention, play time, and affection, while you are off enjoying some time to yourself! My current schedule is flexible and allows me time for drop in visits, daily walks and overnight boarding for most of the day and evening. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I tailor my care to each individual animal. In a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or anything else that seems out of the ordinary, and I’ll always communicate with you if I have any concerns. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. Most importantly, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own.

About: Hi! I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and animals have always been one of my biggest passions. I currently have two rescue dogs and a rescue kitten, so I am constantly surrounded by animals and am very familiar with the care, attention, and love they require. My dogs are apartment dogs with a small yard, so we average about 5–6 walks a day. Walking, playing with, and loving on animals are genuinely some of my favorite things to do. My mission is to provide the best care possible for your pet while also making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have plenty of experience caring for puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, administering medications, animal hygiene, and more. I am comfortable around animals of any size, color, or breed, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. When I come to walk, play with, visit, or take care of your animals, I will dedicate my time to making sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I love being able to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving other people peace of mind knowing their pets are being cared for. A little about my own pets: I have my Pittie, Bandit, who is 6 years old and a rescue. I also have Koda, my 3 month old Pitbull/German Shepherd mix who is also a rescue. Lastly, I have Loki, my 4 month old rescue kitten. They are my world, and I would treat your pets with that same love and care! I am a full-time online student at ASU, which means I am home most of the time and have very open availability. I am also very flexible and can often accept last-minute bookings I have a fenced in yard and two very friendly dogs! I also walk my dogs very frequently and don’t mind to add more to our walks. I have a large 2 bedroom apartment with plenty of space and beds for playing, sleeping, and zoomies!

About: I'm just here to make as many canine friends as possible! I love going for walks and would be thrilled to have a puppy companion. For me this isn't a chore, it's a passion! I have experience walking large dogs and senior dogs. I'm happy to walk any breed of dog. While I love bringing my canine friends treats, I respect any special dietary restrictions. My goal is to take as great care of your dog as you would. Please let me know if your dog has any restrictions. I'm currently available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week during the day and the evening. I'm also available for house sitting with 24 hours notice. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jeffersontown
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.

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.
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 Jeffersontown 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
