“Curtis did a fantastic job boarding our golden doodle. He is very thorough and communicates very well. Our dog was very active during her stay with lots of walks and play time. We received lots of photos and even got report cards. Looking forward to our next stay with Curtis.”
“Alex took great care of Zoey and was very flexible with last minute plans on coordinating a meet up first and extending Zoey’s stay a few extra days. He was also very receptive to adapting his home and routine to accommodate Zoey’s needs. We’ll definitely have Zoey stay with Alex again in the future.”
“Delane is fabulous. It was our puppies first time away from us and in another person's care for more than a day and they came back to us in great shape, no trauma, and well taken care. Thanks Delane.”
“We were very nervous about leaving our pup on her first boarding experience and Sarah was kind enough to let us do a meet & greet with her dog beforehand. Nalu came home tired and seemed to have a blast with Cedar :)”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
“Jessica is great! She is communicative during the stay and takes lots of pictures to keep us at ease while we are away. She has a great space for your dog to be happy and comfortable!”
“Ruby loved her time at Kim’s! This was her first time boarding and she came out super happy after all of the socialization time with the other dogs and Kim’s son. Kim gave frequent updates and clearly took great care of her!”
“Misty did an amazing job making sure Luna was well taken care of and comfortable during her stay. Misty’s updates provided peace of mind that was well needed due to travel.”
“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.”
“Kristina provided a warm and caring environment for Mozart. She was receptive to his current dietary needs and was in touch frequently. Kristina's 2 dogs were friendly and easy going.”
“Our dog had the best time staying with Meghan and Hakon! They made our time away from our pup easy with updates, photos, and genuine care for our dog. We felt confident she was in good hands!”
“Breck had a great time at Tony and Nicole's home. They were super with communication and accommodating our schedule. Breck seemed well cared for and got along wonderfully with Louie. We highly recommend them and would use again.”
“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!”
“Irina was wonderful! Communication was excellent, she was flexible on schedules, and Otto looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future, our little guy was very well taken care of.”
“I’m hesitant to leave a review of Emerson’s stay with Nicole because if I tell everyone how amazing and wonderful she is I will never be able to get a booking with her again! Ok, here it goes….. After our regular Rover moved we have been searching for a new regular sitter for Mr. Doodle and at last we have found her! If you are looking for a sitter that will treat your pet like family, communicate well, and make them so happy that they want to go back look no further! We will never look to anyone else if she is available and I recommend that you do the same!”
“Anthony provided us total peace of mind leaving our Australian Shepherd. He sent regular updates and was quick to respond to messages. He ensured our dog had regular exercise and opportunities to play with other pups. Our dog was part of the pack in no time! Thank you, Anthony!”
“Sam and his gf took excellent care of my babies! I received multiple daily updates of their adventures and many pictures and videos showing how much they enjoyed their stay! They set the bar high when it comes to boarding on rover. Will def use them again while I’m here in Denver if I need dog sitting. ☺️”
“Kelly and her husband love dogs and that is obvious as soon as you meet them. My pug was smiling ear to ear at their house. He slept on the bed and had plenty of love. I'll be using Kelly again.”
“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!”

Kristina took great care of Lincoln during his stay with her. Lincoln is 14 and has trouble with his back legs sometimes, and she worked with him to make sure that he was comfortable and had options for getting outside whether it was through or around her house. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent during our time away. It was a great experience all around. Thank you Kristina!
Maisie seemed to have a wonderful time with Tony, Nicole, and Louie. This was her first time being boarded, and we were nervous! But, we think she did really, and we were very happy to receive daily pictures, a couple videos, and updates as to how she was doing along the way. Maisie seemed very well cared for, with daily walks and lots of play with Louie as well. It made our few days away much more enjoyable to know our pup was in great hands.
This was Sparky’s first boarding with Meghan and Hakone and they made him feel so comfortable. They are the sweetest and it made me feel so at ease to leave Sparky with them. They took such great care of Sparky who has to take a lot of medication and a senior that is very picky ( more like a Diva) They treated Sparky like their own and I appreciated all the attention they gave to him and the walks! It’s comforting to know that they are both there to take care of him or at least one of them are there to help care for him. I really appreciated the updates, pictures and a video ! He will be boarding with them again soon!
Moriah took very good care of my old man while we were out of town. He takes several medications and doesn’t move around well anymore so I was very nervous leaving him. Moriah always responded timely and provided pictures. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future or to recommend Moriah to friends!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Louisville on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,023 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.
