“This was our first time using rover and Joanna was the best. Our boys loved her and we felt they were completely safe in her care. She gave frequent and thorough updates along with pictures of them. 10/10 from us!”
“Kristen is always very professional and reliable. I have a 110 pound male pup who is unsure of most people when he first meets them. She knew just how to respond to him and now he loves her! My other pup is a fence jumper and she always makes sure she is on her cable. Kristen is quick to respond and always sends pictures and uses Rover Cards. She is extremely polite.”
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.
“This was our first time trying Rover and Rebecca immediately made me feel comfortable with booking drop in visits. She is polite and friendly and wanted to meet my two big dogs right away, and they instantly liked her! At the end of each visit Rebecca provided a report card and super cute pictures to let us know how the dogs and the house were. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone thinking about trying Rover!”
“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!!”
“Amazing sitter and super kind to all 4 of my cats. Went above and beyond the agreed tasks. Great communicator and really cares about the animals, Highly recommend for any pet sitting a person needs.”
About: I've always loved dogs! As a dog-owner myself, I know the stress of leaving a pet at home, both during the workday and when on vacation, but also what it's like to have the peace of mind that comes with a trustworthy pet sitter. I love giving pet parents that security of knowing their baby is happy and safe while they're away. I have cared for dogs ranging from the puppy stage to senior years. I have experience providing medical care to dogs ranging from post-surgical care such as monitoring for adverse reactions to anesthesia, to facilitating recovery from ACL repair surgery by providing heat/ice to the affected leg and following surgeon's orders for increasing walk length on a variety of terrains to help the dog regain muscle strength. Most recently, I have cared for a senior dog who was partially deaf and had arthritis. That experience taught me to intentionally stay in his eyesight, and to tailor the pace and length of walks and playtime to meet his gait and energy level. My full-time work allows me to be available on a variety of weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Depending on the day, I am either very flexible and can come whenever your pup needs me, or am more limited with evening-only availability. So just ask! I only walk dogs in an escape-proof device such as a Martindale or chain ("choke") collar. I will not walk a dog in a flat collar or harness, even if the device is advertised as 'escape proof' or the dog does not have a history of escaping. This is for my peace of mind as well as yours, and for the safety of your fur baby. In addition, when I am walking your dogs, they are my first priority. I am not on my phone so I can pay attention to my surroundings and the dogs in order to maximize safety for both of us. Finally, to make my time with your fur baby as positive as possible, I require a meet and greet with you and your pet before coming to care for them by myself.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family all my life. Work at happy hounds doggy day care and taken care of pets for family and friends. currently working at a doggy daycare part time. I have good availability most week days. Available most weekends during summer (out of town some weekends) I have fenced yard and 2 dogs that are good with other animals, can crate your animal or my animal at times needed for safety
About: Having grown up and worked on a farm until moving to Louisville four years ago, I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and other fowl. Along with providing routine daily care, I am experienced in handling basic needs across various levels of veterinary emergencies. While I am currently enjoying my time in grad school, I truly miss being around animals every day and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I'm a full-time grad student, my schedule allows me time in the morning, in the evenings and throughout the weekend to look after your pet. I can be flexible and am open to talking and finding a time that can work for both of us! While I have much experience with animals, I do recognize that everyone has different needs. I'm looking forward to meeting each animal and learning about their individual personalities as well as their needs. I promise to communicate as openly as possible to bring as much peace of mind as I can while you are away from your pet and your home. I understand that there is a level of trust that comes with having someone new in your home, so I am open to answering any questions you may have so that this can be a smooth and comfortable process for both of us.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I treat each animal like my own—with attention, compassion, and understanding. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from high-energy puppies needing structure and training reinforcement, to senior dogs who require a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m confident with administering oral medications, managing specific dietary needs, and reading body language to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s working on basic commands, easing separation anxiety, or just providing a cozy cuddle buddy while you’re away—I adapt to each pet’s individual needs. I also prioritize communication with pet parents, so you’ll always feel in the loop with updates and photos to ease your mind. Pet care is something I naturally build my routine around—it’s not just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening feedings and snuggles, I structure my days to make sure pets are getting the consistent attention and care they need. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be fully present for each pet I care for. I’m committed to creating a calm, comfortable environment, sticking to their routines as closely as possible, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priority is creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where your pet feels right at home. I stick closely to their usual routine—mealtimes, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications—because I know consistency helps them feel secure. In your home, I treat your space with total respect, keeping everything clean and leaving it just as I found it. I take time to get to know your pet’s personality and needs—whether that means extra playtime, slow-paced walks, or just keeping them company. If pets are staying with me, they’ll have a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of love, toys, and attention. I keep a close eye on behavior, eating habits, and energy levels, and I’ll always keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands.
“Nicole was absolutely outstanding. She checked on, fed, and loved on our two kitties while we were gone for 2 weeks. She took such good care of them! She went above and beyond - took in our packages, took up our trash, and even cleaned up kitty litter that the cats tracked through the house. Her communication was amazing and she sent regular updates and pictures. We felt so comfortable having Nicole at our home while we were gone. We will 1000% have Nicole take care of our animals again!”
About: I had the best childhood dog growing up. We loved walks, playing fetch, just hanging out. My passion and love for dogs has helped me become the designated office house sitter. I really have no obligations outside of work and even while working, have flexibility to go home and walk and let animals out for fresh air. Hybrid work model so even have opportunities to work from home. Happy to do whatever is needed. I do tend to spoil animals I watch, but love long walks, fetch, etc. I’ve helped animals that have needed medicine, etc.
“Brandon was so great with our girls! He & his wife came over a week before we left & met us & our dogs and we knew immediately that we were making the best choice. We received updates & pictures of our girls twice a day & we could tell they were happy & feeling loved. We were gone for a week & our dogs normally don’t eat much at all when we are gone, but they felt comfortable & safe enough with Brandon & Leah that they did! Our trip was so much more enjoyable knowing that our girls were in the best hands! We give them the highest recommendation!”

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.
Allie was amazing! Our cats warmed up to her immediately, even my shy girl came out to play with her. She did an excellent job and went above and beyond to communicate with us. Plus we always received the cutest pictures! Gave us such a peace of mind while away from our fur babies!
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!
Excellent cat sitter. I just moved to the area and needed a cat sitter for the Thanksgiving holiday. I was hesitant to leave the cats on their own for a week, but they did great. She stopped by each evening toake sure they had food, water and cuddles. Highly recommend. I plan to rebook in 2026

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jeffersontown is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 1,158 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jeffersontown. 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 Jeffersontown. 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.
