“Curtis does an amazing job with our Goldendoodle. Extremely reliable, great communicator, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Our dog loves him. Five stars—look no further.”
“Our family had the opportunity to go abroad for two months and we did not know what to do with Luna, our 2-year-old Aussie. When we met Sarah and her family, we knew Luna would be in the best possible hands. Sarah was the most incredible caretaker - she sent us photos and text updates almost every day we were away to ensure we knew how Luna was doing and I could tell she cared for Luna like her own pet - with love and care. We were so blessed to have found Sarah and Luna is very happy!”
“Delane and her home are wonderful. She took great care of my chi-mix and provided a safe environment for my little one and other small dogs. I had full peace of mind during my trip and look forward to more visits to Delane.”
“Kristina was VERY responsive and great with our big old Riley boy. He came home happy and sleepy, like a dog post-vacation should be! We also got a ton of pictures over the weekend of Riley living his best life. Thanks for helping us out, Kristina!”
“We are grateful for the love and care Alexandra & Jeff plus kids gave to Arley during a long weekend stay. It's always nice to have peace of mind when traveling and we had that with them. Arley was well cared for and happy to see us -- and it was great to see a few pics of Arley doing well in their home. We will book again in the future.”
“The most caring, attentive, communicative and easy going sitter I've ever had. She sent photos, status updates and when Zaya wouldn't eat (because she was so nervous to be away from home), she asked about ways to entice her to eat and successfully got her to gobble up her meals. And when my plans changed last minute, she was able to accommodate us for an extra night without any issues. Very grateful to have found a dedicated sitter I can trust so much 🥰”
“Alex was great! Very friendly and quick to reply. He was flexible with our travels, as well. Phife was excited to see him when we dropped him off, and seemed pretty worn after his stay - always good signs! We would definitely use him again.”
“Kim is amazing and took great care of him. Her daily pictures were the best and Churro looked like he was having a blast everyday there. We’ll definitely have Kim watch him again if she is available for our next trip.😊”
“Meghan and Hakon are amazing and loved on our pups so much! It was Kinzie’s first stay away and they made her feel so at ease and comfortable in their home. Lincoln is a pro and had a blast. We got plenty of updates and photos and knew our dogs were in great hands. Lincoln and Kinzie look forward to their next stay!”
“Maria is such a joy to work with and an incredible dog sitter! She’s incredibly communicative and sent lots of photos. We had 100% confidence that our pup was in the best possible care!”
“Erika was wonderful with Freyja. She walked her multiple times a day, and even let me know of a lump she found under her fur. We had an unexpected delay in our trip and Erika offered to keep watching our girl and even get more food. Will definitely book again!”
“Tony and his wife were a lifesaver when my mother-in-law unexpectedly passed away and we suddenly had to leave town for over a week. They quickly arranged a meet-and-greet and our dog got along great with Louie. They were patient with our dog when he had trouble adjusting to his new environment and the sudden disappearance of his family. They took him for walks and set pictures and videos to calm our anxieties about leaving him with people who we don’t know. When we returned to pick up our dog, he was happy and healthy, I think he even missed his pal Louie when we took him back home! We are very grateful for Tony and Nicole’s quality pet care.”
“Ruby stayed over night with Charissa and Akira and had a great time. Charissa was super responsive and sent plenty of photos. Ruby loved having another dog to play with and a large yard to run around in.”
“Karla was the most wonderful sitter for our dog Marshall! We were so thankful for the attention to detail in her care, picture updates, and smooth drop off and pick up. Such a loving family and we know our furbaby was well taken care of. Highly recommend Karla!!!”
“Our dog Allie had a wonderful time and was very comfortable for her first overnight stay. They were extremely responsive and kept us updated with pics! Will absolutely be using your services again!”
“This was my first time boarding my pup with J.R. We originally arranged for a single night of boarding, but unfortunately, my weekend plans changed last minute and we had to extend to 3 nights. I genuinely appreciated his quick communication and willingness to accommodate. Additionally, J.R. has a fabulous property with lots of roaming room that I'm sure my pup thoroughly enjoyed.”
“Rachael is wonderful! Very loving with our dogs and great about sending feedback and pictures. We forgot to give her one of our dogs meds and she even went out of her way to get them. Will definitely use her again!”
“Moriah is a gem, and truly seems to appreciate having our pup around. We're so grateful we've found a solid Rover to default to whenever we leave town where we can trust our dog is cared for as we would.”
“Brittany and Ayman are awesome! They sent so many photo and video updates throughout the weekend. It made us feel much more relaxed about leaving her while we were on vacation. They gave Marigold lots of love and she had a great time playing with their dog Pino. We would absolutely leave her with them again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Louisville is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our first meeting, it was obvious that Scout was in caring, capable hands. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable, which says everything. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone we can trust completely when we’re away. We will absolutely book again and recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional Rover sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Scout!
Chaco had an awesome time at Uncle Tony’s! Anthony made us feel so comfortable leaving Chaco with him for a long time and kept us updated along the way. We could tell Chaco had so much fun going to the dog park and playing with his new friends he made throughout the week. We will definitely book with Anthony again in the future!
Curtis was amazing with our golden doodle pup! She had a blast going to the dog park, going on walks and snuggling on the couch. We had daily photo updates and notes to keep us updated. Although we missed our pup on our week away, we never doubted that she was having the best time. We would highly recommend Curtis.
Ellie had a wonderful time at Kristina’s house. Kristina sent a lot of updates and pictures which was fun to see. Her dogs are super sweet and got along great with Ellie. Ellie enjoyed lounging in the back yard and daily walks, and I would definitely board Ellie here again!
Our pup had a great time with Karla and her family! This was our first time using a person rather than a boarding facility and it was so much better for our dog! We got regular pics and updates and our dog had a medical issue right before we left and Karla was very understanding and was able to take care of the follow-up instructions without hesitation. We appreciate her so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Louisville on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,980 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Louisville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Louisville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Louisville home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
