“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: For most of my life, I have been a dog mom, and I understand how crucial it is to know that your dogs are well cared for while you're gone. I'm here to assist you. After retiring from my corporate job, I've decided to follow my passion for animals. I have spent over a decade caring for the dogs of friends and neighbors. I am certified in animal massage and have been a volunteer at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley since 2016. I can't wait to meet you and enjoy some wonderful time with your four-legged companion! I have availability during the week and weekend to engage with your dog. This can be walks or a hike during the day, a playdate with my dogs, a basic training session, or just 1:1 cuddle time hanging out on the sofa watching our favorite show. The safety and well-being of your dog is top priority! We will find what works best for you and your dog. It can be a walk, engagement, basic training, canine massage, a play date, snuggle time...whatever meets your dogs needs that day.
“This is our second time booking with Jessica and it definitely will not be our last. She's incredibly responsive and her care for the pets she's looking after is obvious.”
“Charissa gave each of my pups the personalized attention they needed. She kept my high energy pup happy with some fetch and coaxed my shy little one out of her shell for some fresh air, sniff-abouts and TLC. Thank you Charissa!”
“Brenda is amazing! She surpassed my expectations! She sent an update and pictures daily. It gave us a piece of mind while we were away to see our pets happy, feed and safe. I will definitely ask Brenda to take care of them again while we are away. She has a very special caring way with animals and I can't thank her enough for loving our pets while we were gone.”
“Jessica took great care of our two cats. One is usually very shy, but came out and visited with her while she was caring for them—which is pretty rare! We will definitely use her services again! Thanks, Jessica!”
About: Hi, I’m Megan! 👋🏻 And I can’t wait to become your pet’s new best friend! I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid, both with my own pets and those of neighbors, family and friends. In high school I had a cat of my own, and also spent lots of time house sitting for neighbors and watching their dogs. Now my husband and I have two beautiful 13 year old husky sisters that complete our family 💕 We enjoy long walks and hikes together, and playing in the snow. I understand firsthand the importance of establishing a relationship with those you trust to take care of your pets, and can ensure your pets are in great hands under my care! I’ll do my best to make sure you feel safe and comfortable while away with frequent updates and communication and plenty of cute pics 📸😍 I work a full time job during the week, but have flexibility and am available most mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks and pet sitting. I work remotely each Monday & Friday, and go into an office each Tuesday-Thursday. I promise to treat your home as if it were my own, with the utmost respect and diligence to ensure the safety of you and your pet(s).
“Alyson was so wonderful to work with and so attentive! She took such great care of my little dog while I was away. I will definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit or overnight care, I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I know that every pet has their own personality and routine. I'm happy to follow your instructions closely, whether that's feeding schedules, medications (if applicable), walks, playtime, or snuggles and cuddles. I have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand the importance of consistency and positive interactions. If your pet is comfortable around other dogs, that's great - but I'll always prioritize your pet's individual needs and your preferences. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. You can expect regular updates including photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away. I'm an elementary school teacher, so I am available to drop by in the early mornings and after 3:00 pm. On afternoons and on weekends, I have a lot of flexibility. For dogs in your home: If your dog enjoys the company of other dogs, I'd be happy to bring my dog along for a playdate! If your dog prefers to be the only pup, that's completely fine too. I'll tailor each visit to your dog's personality and needs, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For dogs in my home: During the workday, your dog and mine can relax together. In the afternoons and on weekends, we'll enjoy long walks, and if you're comfortable with it, I'd love to bring your dog along on hikes or to the dog park. I want your dog to feel right at home, and if they're used to sleeping in bed, they're welcome to snuggle up with me and my dog at night. For cats in your home: Every cat is different, and I'm happy to care for yours according to their unique personality and routine. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I'll respect their boundaries and follow your care instructions closely. For your cat's comfort and safety, I would not bring my dog into your home.
“Margie is amazing. She is loving and kind and so caring. Rocky loves when she gets times with her. I do as well. Love her energy so much. Grounding and kind. Highly recommend Margie.”
“Hanna did an amazing job checking in on my dog and cat with my last minute check-in request. Followed my instructions to a T and left the house in great shape. They also went above and beyond, taking care of our foster dog esp. with some complicated health stuff/instructions. Great communication. Will rebook again in the future.”
About: I’ve been privileged to have dogs be apart of my entire life. From having them as pets, caring for others, and volunteering for multiple shelters over the years, dogs have been a priority for me. I have deep respect for routines and instructions, can work with new born to seniors (who are just babies really), and will give them the love and attention they deserve. I am currently working on aspects of my education and have a lot of time to dedicate to pet care. I have minimal travel this Summer, so would be interested on a one time walk to a long term sit, and everything in between. I have reliable transportation and I’m allergic to being late. Communication and following instructions is top priority for me, so you will never wonder how your wonderful companion is doing. When caring for pets in your home my priorities include respecting your property, your instructions, and your animals needs. Schedules are followed to a T and communication including updates and pictures if wanted!
“Julia was so great and caring with my 2 cats. My one cat that is normally shy warmed up to her very quickly. I didn’t worry at all knowing she was taking care of them while I was away.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors and friends for as long as I can remember. I understand that all pets have different needs and routines, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I am working as a hairstylist in Louisville, and my schedule allows for lots of flexibility during weekdays to give your pups lots of attention! I always follow your care instructions closely, respect your pet’s routine, and provide a calm, loving environment while they’re in my care. Although I don’t offer boarding in my home, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe and comfortable in their own familiar surroundings.
“Delane took great care of Chewy! We sent through a super last minute request for Christmas week and she was very gracious and communicative throughout the whole process 🙌”
About: Hi, I’m Kris! I have owned dogs and cats for 30+ years, and I have been dog and cat sitting professionally for over 12 years. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes (teacup to giant), as well as expertise with senior and special needs dogs/cats and reactive/aggressive dogs. I have trained many puppies and use only positive reinforcement training. I have multiple veterinarians in my immediate family that I consult with to ensure I am providing the best care for my pets and yours. I am professional, communicative, and reliable. I will treat your pet as my own, truly. I am also an avid trail runner and would be happy to take your dog on a run! Please reach out to set up a meet and greet, and I look forward to hopefully caring for your fur babies. I have a remote job and have the ability to provide attentive care for your pet anytime day or night. I am available for walks or drop in visits. I treat ALL pets like my own, with love and care. I have had many puppies and thus have developed a keen eye for making sure my animals never get in harms way. I often care for senior or special needs dogs, and have cared for high energy dogs that enjoyed two hours of walking per day. I will adapt to whatever your dog needs.
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing and my dogs loved her! I highly recommend her for your fur babies, they are in great care with her! I will definitely be using Kaitlyn again to watch my dogs on my next vacation. :) :) :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
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.

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Louisville on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Louisville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Louisville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Louisville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
