“Alex and Jeffery were wonderful with our Bella! Such a sweet family they gave Bella lots of love and care! We knew she was well taking care of had great walks and was deeply loved.

We loved the photo updates and knowing how Bella was doing. I highly recommend them. She will be back with them again soon!”

He sent lots of updates and pictures and I could tell from the photos that Ludo was relaxed and having a great time. Will definitely be reaching out again when we need a sitter. Thanks, Brian!”
About: Lifelong animal lover providing attentive care in a calm home tailored to your dog’s routine. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with rescues, completed dozens of sits, and navigated every stage from puppyhood to golden senior years. After recently losing our beloved rescue pup of ten years, we've opened our home on Rover as a way to pour that same devotion into caring for other dogs. Having guided senior dogs through their final seasons, I am very comfortable managing gentle routines, oral medications, mobility support, and tender pacing. In our home, your dog receives a dedicated two-person care team. My husband brings past experience from volunteering at animal shelters and working with livestock on a ranch. What to expect: •Tailored Days: Upbeat play or quiet couch snuggles to match their unique personality. •Experienced Senior Care: Extra TLC, oral meds, and gentle comfort. One Family at a Time: My calendar shows 1 dog to prevent overlap, but siblings are always welcome! Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily life. My schedule lets me offer attentive supervision and adapt to your pup’s established routine. This setup is especially ideal for senior dogs who need frequent potty breaks, scheduled mid-day medications, gentle mobility assistance, or simply the comfort of having someone nearby throughout the day. Whether your dog thrives on quiet company while I work, cozy couch naps, or periodic stretch breaks on a walk, I mirror your home routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, nap spots, and light walks on track. Our home is designed to be a calm, clean, low-stress sanctuary where your pup can truly relax. Every detail is set up with safety, joint support, and accessible comfort in mind—largely shaped by the loving care I gave my late senior dog, Kenny. Accessible, Low-Impact Living: • Zero-Stair Access: Our building features an elevator, so aging hips and stiff joints never have to navigate stairs. •Senior-Friendly Furniture: Our furniture is intentionally low to the ground for easy on-and-off access, and dogs are always welcome on the couch! We also have a cozy, dedicated "dog chair" and an orthopedic, human-grade toddler mattress originally purchased to soothe Kenny's arthritis. •Spotless & Fresh Comfort: Your pup's health and hygiene come first. The mattress has protective covers that is cleaned between visitors. •Cozy & Stocked: While we have a secure patio rather than a yard, our home is filled with plush blankets, orthopedic lounging spots, engaging toys, and healthy treats. Routine & Outdoor Time: Multiple walks throughout the day—whether your dog prefers brisk exercise or slow, leisurely walks. Crating & Comfort: Because my late dog had a difficult past with confinement when I rescued, I never forced crating and prioritize open, free-roaming comfort. However, if your dog feels safe in their crate routine, I am happy to accommodate—please bring their familiar crate.
“Sean is a wonderful sitter! He took Ultra on multiple adventures during her overnight stay, and she came back happy (and tired from so much fun.) I really appreciated the photo updates, which reassured us that she was getting amazing care. I'll definitely be looking for an opportunity to rebook soon!”
“Our elderly, separation anxious King Charles spaniel just spent several days boarding with Kelly M. She did very well, as Kelly took great care of her. She spent time basking in front of the fire stove, took a walk, had a bath, and enjoyed the company of other dogs. Kelly did an excellent job and we recommend her.”
“Anita took great care of our Bernedoodle, Lucky, over the Thanksgiving holiday. She has a great yard, and she took Lucky on walks and to the dog park daily. Lucky came home well loved and super tired!”
“Emily and Hector were absolutely incredible with Gavin. They provided plenty of updates throughout the stay, including photos and videos, which gave me a ton of peace of mind. They were extremely communicative and always checked in with any questions regarding Gavin’s care and comfort, which I really appreciated. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Gavin came back happy and relaxed, and it’s obvious he loved his time with them. Their dog Lemon is also wonderful and made for a great companion. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend Emily and Hector to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive sitters.”
“Cole was great with Buddy! After the meet and greet we could tell Buddy would feel right at home. Cole provided photo updates. We could see Buddy was very comfortable and at ease. When we picked him up after our trip he was happy and wagging his tail. We could tell he had a fun time! We will definitely be using Cole's services again! We are very grateful that our first time using a dog sitter worked out so well. Thank you Cole!”
“Kimberly was so wonderful and super communicative which we so so appreciate since our pup has epilepsy and requires a little extra attention. She was so kind and loving towards our pup. Would definitely recommend having her sit your pups!!”
“Ben and Alesha took great care of Auggie, put up with his puppy energy and antics, and communicated daily with us! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was having fun and in great hands.”
“Michelle was great! She took wonderful care of my pup. Oreo has some separation anxiety, and Michelle went above and beyond to give him the attention he needed and to comfort him while we were away”
“Summer got lots of cuddles and quality time with Susan and her husband! She also sent a lot of pictures which were reassuring as this was the first time for Summer to stay in a new place. We really appreciate all the time and attention given to our pup!”
About: I recently lost my cavalier king charles spaniel and am looking to have some doggies around again. I grew up with many pets in our family! Dogs, bunnies, birds, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I am a dog lover through and through and frequently watch friends and family’s dogs. I do have experience caring for senior dogs! I prefer smaller pups but will accept medium too. I currently work from home so I’m available to take care of your pup around the clock. I do many walks and would love the company of a doggo! I have a completely fenced in yard and a very safe and walkable neighborhood. I have a toddler at home so they must be kid friendly.
“Rochelle and Ben are great with our senior dog! They are so caring and help us to feel comfortable leaving our Aussie mix there. We’d recommend them to anyone looking!”
“Our pets had an amazing stay at Georgia’s home. They were welcomed with so much warmth, and we loved the regular photo updates showing how relaxed and happy they were. It’s clear they were treated like family. We came back to calm, content pets, and we’ll definitely book again!”
“Lucy and her husband treated our labradoodle like part of the family for a week long vacation. We received several updates, pictures, and videos and he was always so happy! They have two playful dogs as well that he loved to play with and had so much fun. Very happy with our experience and will use them again!”

If you are looking for a wonderful, responsible, and enjoyable place for your dogs to stay when you are away, look no further than a stay with Heather and her family. My two dogs were obviously so well cared for during my trip. Heather made the whole process stress-free and I never worried about them once. (and I am typically a worrier when it comes to my dogs). Very highly recommend Heather and her family! 🐾❤️
We couldn’t be happier with the care rio received while we were away! Valeria welcomed him into her home and treated him like one of her own, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for\. Her communication was wonderful, and we had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitter and will absolutely use her again.
Charissa was great with Cody during his first stay with her. He was a little more challenging in a new place and with new people, but Charissa’s messages made it all seem like things were going just fine. I appreciated that she did let me know what was happening, but I never felt like she couldn’t handle it. Loved all the photos she sent and would definitely use her again (if she’ll have Cody)!
My girls had a BLAST at Robyn’s house! Robyn is very kind and loving to my dogs, her dog was also very friendly and playful. I was able to leave for the weekend without worrying about my girls because I knew they were in good hands. They got to learn a new skill of using a doggy door ! And got to enjoy a spacious and safe fenced in backyard while I was away. We will definitely book with Robyn again
Jessica and her family were amazing with my dog Maverick! I was nervous to leave him for an extended stay, but I was always provided with updates and pictures and he was so well taken care of. Jessica stayed on top of all of his medications and handled his medical needs with lots of attention and care. I would definitely let Maverick stay again and would recommend her to anyone!
Brian was so wonderful with my boy, Ludo. He was responsive, flexible, attentive, and able to attune to Ludo's needs. He sent lots of updates and pictures and I could tell from the photos that Ludo was relaxed and having a great time. Will definitely be reaching out again when we need a sitter. Thanks, Brian!
Another wonderful stay with Irina for Otto! She was very accommodating of a last-minute request for sitting, as well as a change in pickup date. Communication is perfect as always, Otto absolutely adores Irina. If Irina is available she will ALWAYS be our first choice for Otto.
Sparky had a staycation with Meghan and Hakon and had the best time with them! They treat Sparky like their own dog and I am so grateful that I could go away and feel so comfortable that Sparky is in such great care. They sent me so many pictures and videos, loved to see them all while I was away. I’m sure Sparky can’t wait to go back, I was afraid he had too much fun he wouldn’t want to come home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Louisville is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 6,000 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Louisville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Louisville home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Louisville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Louisville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
