“Anna was so friendly and patient, and truly wanted to make friends with our kitty cats. She sent photos from all her visits to reassure us that our cats were in good hands.”
“Jordan was great with our cats and kept them happy during our weekend away. She was able to accommodate our picky eater and get her to eat. Both cats warmed up to her quickly and loved playing with her. Thanks Jordan!”
“Julia was great! She took care of our four cats while we were away and put in extra effort to make sure they were happy and comfortable. She’s great with communication, sending texts and pictures. Will definitely book again.”
About: I have experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, and other pets in our home since I was 10. I currently have an 8.5 y/o black lab border collie mix who is very active and is a people's dog not a dog's dog. That said, I can comfortably care for reactive dogs and cats with ease and empathy. I work full-time but my schedule is flexible. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, play time and attention! I am used to caring for active dogs. I know our pets can be most comfortable at home so I am happy to stay with them at your home. I will treat your home as my own and leave it better than I found it.
“Kamaile did a great job. Followed directions perfectly, was prompt and communicated each visit. Most importantly our diabetic cat was medicated and fed on time and as directed. He was happy when we got home and seemed to enjoy his visits. We loved the photos! Will definitely book again with Kamaile.”
“Kaili was wonderful to work with. One of my boys recently had an eye procedure and she provided very clear updates on his status while she was checking on both my cats. Communication, timeliness, and compassion are all A+. Would be happy to work with Kaili again in the future. Thank you for taking care of my boys.”
“Margie was fantastic with my cat! She was reliable, super communicative, and always kept me updated with plenty of photos. She made sure my cat got plenty of attention and companionship during each visit. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter!”
“We were so excited to see Chelsea available again for drop in visits! Chelsea has been our favorite drop in Rover sitter. Chelsea always takes the time to play with our cats, check if they used the litter box, and send detailed reports with photos. We highly recommend Chelsea!”
“Alisha provided superior communication with daily check-ins, attention to detail, and determination in getting 4 cats with very different personalities to interact with her. She handled our recent tripod kitty especially well. Our home was left in excellent condition and our plants were also well cared for.Even before the sit, Alisha agreed to come over twice so that we could update her on our tripod kitty’s recovery and progress. And she even stayed longer than we asked upon our return, making sure that our plane had touched down before she wrapped up and left. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I have 7 years of professional pet care experience alongside growing up taking care of pets. I have always felt a special connection with animals which carries into my pet care. With every animal I meet I prioritize developing a bond with them so they feel safe and enjoy our time together. I have experience with training puppies, leash training, and administering medication. My attention to detail and empathy prove me to be an advantageous caretaker. I will be sure not to miss any details with care instructions and will give your pup just as much love as I do mine. I understand leaving the care of your furbaby in someone else's hands can be stressful, but with me, you can trust your furbaby will be well taken care of. I currently work part-time with a very flexible schedule that changes weekly, so I have plenty of time for your pup! I have availability almost every day. I make sure to review all care instructions before entering the home. I always allow myself to get acquainted with the dog first then continue with service.
“Laurissa was the perfect sitter for our cat while we were away for a long weekend! From the moment of our meet and greet, it was clear she would be very comfortable playing with Jabba and even holding him to give all the love and attention he craves. Her updates and photos were much appreciated and when we returned home, everything was clearly secure and Jabba was happy. Definitely recommend!”
“Heather took wonderful care of our cat, Tucker, and I would highly recommend her! She was communicative, friendly, and clearly loves every animal like they were her own. She sent the cutest pictures and spent lots of time with him while we were gone on a long trip.”
“Mary provided such excellent and attentive care to our kitty! She was incredibly thoughtful and communicative. I felt very reassured and knew our cat was in good hands with her.”
About: I have worked with animals both in a personal capacity and professional, and take the care of any animals seriously. As a former pet store manager, I was required to know the details of all animal care and services, including training and recognizing behavior. I have 3 cats of my own and work with dogs every single day. When I’m not walking dogs, I’m a certified trainer at PetSmart! While I don't offer private training outside of PetSmart, I am an experienced dog handler. I have plenty of time outside of work to help care for others animals. When I'm not working with pets, I'm writing or spending time with my own pets. I am a respectful house guest and will treat your pets and your home as if they were my own. I appreciate detailed and direct instruction when it comes to specific pet needs and entrance to the home if I am doing a stop in or walk.
“I couldn't be more impressed with Maura as a cat sitter. She took fabulous care of my 2 cats while I was away. She shared updates several times daily via text and a shared photo album, checked in about anything that needee attention, and she she left my place in pristine condition. She was also very flexible and accommodating to a last minute change in my travel schedule. I hope my boys get to enjoy Maura's care again 😻😻”
“K was an amazing sitter and house guest!! Our girls were in such a happy mood, barely missed us which is such a great sign of being well taken care of. Button was very filled out (healthy and good from her meds) which is a balance many sitters don’t get exactly right. She also took great care of our house and many packages that arrived while we were away. 20/10 recommend for your pets and house!”
About: I have had dogs since I was born and love to go on adventures and walks with them. I have taken care of many dogs and cats. I also have experience with farm animals. The prices listed can be negotiated. I have my own dog Milo so if your dog would like a playdate while I walk them, I can do that too! I just moved to the area and I’m trying to find a teaching job. In the mean time I would love to pick up some extra work with pets. In my clients home I will make sure all animals feels they are in caring hands with lots of love and care. I will make sure to be tidy and clean as I respect my clients space. If there are feeding and medication schedules I need to follow I will make sure that happens on time and correctly.

Excellent experience! Alycia was on time, responsive, and reliable. She took excellent care of our senior dog, who has limited mobility and medication needs. Our shy cat loved her too and came out to play and socialize. We are so grateful for her attentive care and would happily book with her again.
Rachael takes wonderful care of our Leo! 🐈⬛ He’s always so happy, well rested, and well fed when we return after her visits. She gives great detailed updates and always listens to ours & Leo’s silly requests. ☺️ We hope to always have her available to visit Leo! ✨

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Louisville is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 1,924 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
