“Danielle was fabulous with our cat Nala!! Took care of her so well and provided so many lovely photos while we were away! She answered so quickly and got there at the provided hours :) I can’t recommend her enough! She’s so friendly and excellent with communication. Had some last minute maintenance issues and she helped us move some things in our apartment with no sweat! 10/10 would book again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and absolutely love spending time with them. I’m currently a proud dog owner of a 30-lb Lab/Corgi mix and a 70-lb German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My German Shepherd is currently recovering from an injury after an accident where he jumped from my second-story balcony. He is in the process of having surgeries and recovering, which has given me even more experience with providing careful, attentive care, following recovery instructions, and making sure a dog feels safe and comfortable while healing. I’m happy to stop by and give your dog the attention and exercise they need, including walks, playtime, and companionship. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for during my visit, and I’m also happy to send photos and videos so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, so my availability is primarily in the evenings during the week, i am available all day throughout the weekends. My schedule is flexible outside of my work hours, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your dog’s routine. While I currently have the most availability on weekends, I can also accommodate evening walks and drop-in visits during the week. I’ll do my best to be flexible and make sure your pup gets the care and attention they need! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout their stay. I’ll keep a close eye on them, make sure they’re comfortable and settled, and give them a safe and loving environment to enjoy. My dogs are friendly, social, and love meeting other dogs. They have experience being around other pups and have never caused issues or fights at dog parks. I’ll always make sure every dog feels comfortable and respected, while giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime.
“Anthony took care of our cat for a couple of days doing drop in visits twice a day. Very reliable and respectful guy, open to all suggestions to best approach our cat. We felt very comfortable while being away. :)”
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.
“Amy has dropped it for walks, visits and feedings a few times and we have absolutely adored working with her! She is professional, communicative, and sends adorable photos of our babies when she is at the house. I will totally work with her again and can't recommend her enough. Thanks Amy for the great care you've provided Gemma and Minca!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Back home in Turkey, I had my own pets, I took care of my friends pets while they were on vacation. I regularly looked after stray cats and dogs; feeding them, giving them water, and making sure they felt safe. I really enjoy spending time with pets and treating them with love and patience as if they were my own♥️ i'm currently working as a teacher during the weekdays 7:30am to 4:30pm i would love to fill out the rest of my time with spending time with pets!! i am fully available weekends as long as i'm not working, i will try to fit into your and your pets schedule. you can tell me what are your pets needs and what they love, i will always try to show up with them happily

“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!”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10! My friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to take care of their pets while they were out of town. I also have a dog myself! I am currently a student with only two classes a day, so I have plenty of time to hang out with and walk your pets. I live in an apartment that has grass and open areas right outside my door. There is also a dog park only one minute away
“Sasha is so helpful, and has been so good with both of my dogs one of whom struggles with strangers at times. She takes good care of all my animals and is clearly kind and loving with them. Will definitely continue booking with her!”

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive care. I make time for timely check-ins, walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I prioritize consistency so pets can stick to their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and reducing stress while their family is away. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and make sure pets are always in a safe environment. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and organized. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable communication, patience, and compassionate care. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
“Tom was very understanding and responsive to when one of our dogs was dying and instead of house sitting we modified the booking to "drop in" and he assisted us with end of life stages and post mortem removal of our beloved Sophie. Tom is empathetic, understanding and very wise in his ways to support during difficult times. Thanks to Tom for making the journey as comforting as possible.”

About: Dogs and cute animals have always been my favorite! I have grown up beside two Golden retrievers and an Australian shepherd. Playing fetch, walking, and giving food and treats make me happy. Neighbors, friends, family, and caregiver clients have entrusted me with pets of all kinds! I'm excited to meet your furry friend :) Currently, I am an RN but have lots of downtime and am ready to walk and snuggle your pet! Please reach out for more details :) Safety is my biggest priority, whether we are adventuring out on the sidewalk and while keeping a close eye in the backyard or on a leash. I will treat your home as my own and respect all boundaries. Simple instructions are my best friend!
“Inessa was reliable and communicative. She made both of our cats feel loved while with them. She also was kind enough to bring in packages and mail. All and all, a great experience.”


About: I have been a dedicated animal caretaker since my childhood beginning with my first pet, Spot a labrador retriever. Today I combine that lifelong passion with professional discipline as a current Denver Zoo volunteer and a recent graduate in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology. My background allows me to provide expert care for pets of all breed and life stages, from high-energy puppies to seniors with specific needs. I am committed to maintaining a safe, enriched, and reliable experience for your pets, applying the same high standards of well-being I use at the zoo to your own home. Pet care for me fits well within my schedule as my shifts at the zoo are flexible. This allows me to dedicate time to your pets for long walks, check-ins, or attentive house sitting. I'm available to ensure your pet maintains their consistent feedings, exercise schedule, or other needs. As a volunteer at the zoo and an EBIO graduate, I follow professional and strict safety protocols in my home and yours. I have a large condo allowing some space for your pet to roam, but I am very active with the outdoors thus fulfilling enrichment to hyper-active pets. I am habituated to monitor animal behavior closely, double-checking harnesses and leashes whenever going on walks, and ensuring a safe environment that meets high standards of well-being.
About: When I was younger I used to dog sit for my neighbors when they went on vacation. I can walk, feed, bath and administer medication to your dog if needed. I also have and have taken care of reptiles also. I have an American Bully mix at home that is 6 years old and a 8 month old staffy/pit mix as well. I am currently a full time student online so I am flexible with my time. I do work Tuesday nights so those days I normally have blocked out. I cannot do overnights due to having my own two dogs but can do drop ins and walks. I always take dogs out on a leash and know how to handle dogs who don’t get along with other animals. I also don’t leave dogs unattended in the back yard. I have a crate trained dog so I also know how to handle that as well. One of my dogs is dog aggressive so I am very capable of handling and caring for dogs who are dog aggressive.
About: I have not had a single day, in my 21 years on this planet, without owning 1 dog and 2+ cats. I know just how important our pets are to us as they are part of our family! Other than taking care of my own pets, I have fostered cats for 10 years with my mom. This includes baby bottle kittens to senior cats. Also, I take care of my neighbors and friends pets! I’m in school but my schedule is very open so I can do any time of the days. Also my weekends are usually completely open! I have done all the basics for animals like feeding, cleaning after and taking them for walks. I have also had to feed my pets medicines if that is necessary for your pets too

“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!”


About: Hi, I’m Nicole! I’ve been caring for dogs for 4 years, and I treat every dog like my own. I’ve done overnight stays where I keep their routine exactly the same as when you’re home, so feeding, walks, and bedtime all stay on track. I also do daytime care for owners who work long hours or have busy days, and regular walks to keep dogs active and happy. I’m responsible, on time, and easy to reach. I’ll send updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether your dog is high energy and needs a good long walk or prefers relaxing on the couch, I’ll adjust to what works best for them. I’d love to meet you and your dog before the first booking so we can go over their routine and any special needs. I’m a student, so my schedule is set up around my classes. On Mondays and Thursdays I’m available after 2:20, and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I’m free after 4, which works well for afternoon and evening dog walks. Weekends are completely open, so I can do walks or longer visits anytime. I live in an apartment with no other pets or children, so your dog will get my full attention in a calm, quiet space. I’m comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I’m close to several parks and will take your dog out for walks and potty breaks as often as they need. Your dog’s safety comes first, so I always keep them leashed outside and follow any instructions you give me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our two Great Danes, Gracie and Walter, while we flew to California for our wedding photo shoot, and we felt completely confident leaving them in her care. Having that peace of mind during such a special trip meant everything to us! She was incredibly responsive, kept us updated, and made sure our pups were so well taken care of with walks, playtime, and attention. It was clear from her messages how much she enjoyed spending time with them, which made us feel even more comfortable. She even brought our packages inside! We’re so grateful to have someone we can trust with our dogs. We would happily book Sarah again and recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and dependable sitter. Thank you, Sarah, for taking such wonderful care of our babies! 🤍🐾

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.

Ella is going to be such a great addition to our sweet pup’s care! We prearranged some drop in visits in October but needed a last minute fill in this morning and she was so kindly willing to help us out a week early. Got some adorable photos throughout her visit and can tell our sweet Pickle loved spending time with her. We are so grateful!

Charlie helped us out with a last minute booking for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. He was very responsive and great at relaying info to us about what was going on. He was also great with the animals. One of our dogs, who is wary around, even came around somewhat by the end of our trip. We will be booking with Charlie again in the future!

Sebastian did a great job taking care of Monty, Minnie, and Artie (dog, dog, cat). Monty had just had a suprise health scare and needed medication and Sebastian took care of him. He was smart and judicious with walk lengths in the extreme heat. We will defiantly call Sebastian again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Louisville is $26 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. 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 13,019 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Louisville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
