About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life and am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of other pets. I had a Golden Retriever for 14 years and lived with a French Bulldog for 3 years, so I understand both the responsibility of long-term pet ownership and how different each animal’s personality, routine, and needs can be. I have experience pet sitting in private homes, including overnight and extended stays, and have cared for dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, rodents, and livestock. I’m very comfortable following detailed feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I know how important communication is when you’re away, so I’m also happy to send regular photos, texts, and updates so you always know how your pets are doing. Most importantly, I try to keep each pet’s routine as normal as possible. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddling on the couch, or simply giving a more independent pet some space, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable.Take advantage of my perhaps lower than market rate costs as I build my account and reputation! I work part time and remotely. Have free time throughout the day, and if I'm housesitting I can work from your house. Have plenty of time on the weekends also. Like I said before, I can work from your house and will spend a lot of time during the day at your house, and during the night if I'm staying over.
“Brianna is fantastic. On time, every time and took such great care of our little lady. Outstanding communication and follow through. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you, Brianna”
“Our cats were expertly taken care of as always! Holly even got our special needs cat to eat more than usual with some creative ideas. Thanks for the great experience!”
“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.”
“Ava was wonderful! She came over and met with me and my cat before I left and was very quick to respond and sent pics and updates daily. I will definitely have her care for my cat again!”
About: As a veterinary assistant, I have experience providing compassionate, attentive care to pets with a variety of needs. My background in veterinary medicine has given me the skills and knowledge to recognize changes in behavior, monitor overall well-being, and provide patient, gentle handling to help your furry friends feel safe and comfortable. I am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications as directed, making me a great fit for a variety of animals who require additional medical care. Whether your baby needs medication, playtime, companionship, or simply a calm and caring presence while you're away, I am committed to providing personalized care and treating every pet like my own. I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant at two locally owned veterinary practices and am available for drop in visits during week days in the early morning and later evenings! During weekend I am available at any time. Happy to provide compassionate, detail oriented care for your sweet fur baby while you're out of town. It's important to that they remain comfortable in their own home and are cared for while you are away.
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.
“Juan was amazing with my cats! He was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos every day. He clearly cares about animals. He went above and beyond and was respectful of my home. My cats loved him, and I’ll definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!”
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.
“Otelia was such a great Rover! I had such an easy experience. She is very communicative which helped alleviate any anxiety I felt about leaving my kitty. She even left me a handwritten note at the end!”
“One of our cats started a round of medications just before Kalani was scheduled to drop in. Kalani was great at communication in prep, and did an excellent job with the meds. The cats just love him. Thank you for always being kind and reliable!”
“Rachael was amazing with our Leo and he was extremely happy when we returned. She was very responsive and sent us the cutest photos. We would absolutely love to book with her again!”
About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.

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! ✨
Ariane was great with both of my kitties! She showed up consistently and sent pictures after each visit. She followed all of the instructions I left and reached out for clarification as needed, which I really appreciated. I hope she will be available when I take my next trip out of town! Thank you, Ariane!
Brenda is a thoughtful, caring, and communicative host! We love when she is available to see our cats during our trips, it feels like they do too! She treats them the way we treat them and we can tell a difference in their comfort when she has come to see them - they are team Brenda and so are we!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Louisville is $24 per visit as of October 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.

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 .
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 .

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 , 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.
