“We have been working with Riley for quite a while now, and she continues to consistently deliver the best care for our pupper. She is an excellent communicator, great with our dog, and is always accommodating/flexible. We wouldn’t trust our pup with anyone else more! ☺️”
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and apparently they've had one for me too. Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in the Boulder area. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have had the pleasure of sharing my life with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, and even livestock. Unfortunately, I recently became petless after my old girl passed away. This has left my love for pets homeless and I would love nothing more than to give it all to your babies. Cuddles, belly rubs, a good hike, maybe a little mud and a bath and of course some yummy treats, I’m here for it all! Whether your pet is a professional couch potato, an enthusiastic adventure buddy or just needs a little extra TLC, I have the experience and enough love to keep up with them. I’m currently working as part of a wildlife rehabilitation internship. I’m still in the first stage, so I only need to be there about 20 hours a week, which gives me lots of flexibility. This means I can work my internship schedule around what your pet needs! Early morning feedings? Done. Middle of the night potty breaks? Done. Need a midday nap buddy? Done. I’m open to both weekdays and weekends and with 24 hours’ notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s routine is important and I’m happy to work around it whenever I can! My first priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know that consistency can make a big difference when their favorite person isn’t around. This all starts with the bond I work to form with them from the moment I become the stranger invading their territory. I’m not just there to feed, walk and clean up messes. I’m there to make sure your pet doesn’t feel scared, abandoned or stressed while you’re away. I want you to be able to leave knowing that they’re not just being looked after, they’re being loved. That peace of mind for you also comes from my close attention to detail. No door will be left open. No change in behavior shall go unnoticed. No accident will be left unattended and no animal shall be shamed. I won’t just keep your pets alive. I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure and cared for, with lots of stories for you to come home to while you’re out creating your own memories.
“Thanks Tara for helping me out at the last minute. Dogs were fed and walked plus a little cuddle time. Tara was not intimidated by Jack our hunting dog. He can be a handful but Tara approached him with great confidence. Everything was great.”
About: I have always been somewhat of a dog whisperer. Love getting to know each of their personalities and learning their routines, coming down to their level gain trust and form a relationship. I enjoying getting outside and making sure they can get their exercise. I’m a cellist, so most of my days are spent practicing and going to rehearsals/teaching in the larger Boulder area. Most of my mornings are very free. I love going on walks with dogs, taking them to the dog park and socializing them with other dogs, using positive reinforcement to form and maintain good habits and everything in between. Care in your home is also important to me. I want to make sure you can have piece of mind that not only will you pet be taken care of but your home as well.
“Thank you, Lila for taking such good care of Pace ! It made it easier to be away knowing someone was caring for him the same way I would. Consistently sending me pictures and a report each time you visited was a bonus and very much appreciated !”
“Absolutely outstanding dog walker. Always on time, incredibly kind, and genuinely loves dogs. You can tell right away that he cares — my dog lights up when he arrives. Reliable, friendly, and completely trustworthy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants their dog treated like family. 🐾”
“Sebastian was fantastic with my boy!! Sanders absolutely loves him, and comes home from every walk happy and tired. I had never had to use a dog walker before but Sebastian made me feel completely comfortable and confident he was in good hands. Sanders and I will happily request his help for future walks anytime!”
“Cole was so great and patient with our dogs (one of whom is a little crazy!) He's kind, compassionate, responsible and made us feel like our pups are always in good hands. We'll certainly use him again and recommend him to anyone!”
“Jennifer has been my sitter for over a year now. Recently I added a black lab for her to watch as well. Thought the visit she was extremely communicative with both pets as to their needs and how they were doing.”
About: I have two dogs of my own (Oscar & Lena). I've watched both dogs and cats before for over 8 years! Im starting school this fall, so I am looking for something that is flexible with my schedule:) I am a full time student at Naropa in Boulder! I have classes Monday,Tuesday and Thursday and will be flexible on my days off of school! House sitting or pet sitting works best for my schedule because while I can spend time with your pet I can finish my studies. I would care for animals at your house by respecting your space but making sure the animal still feels safe and loved in their home!
About: We are Andrew and David, a married couple who have spent years caring for dogs of all ages, including our own senior dog who required daily medications and specialized care for heart, Liver, Lung and kidney conditions for his last 4 years with us. Through that experience, we learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for a pet. We are comfortable administering most oral medications and many injectable medications, following feeding schedules, monitoring changes in behavior, and providing updates to owners. While we are not currently accepting diabetic pets requiring insulin management, we are happy to discuss other medical or special-care needs. What sets us apart is that your dog will benefit from having two dedicated caregivers. One of us is often home, allowing for more supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and personalized attention than many traditional boarding environments. We understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet place to relax, our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress home away from home. We also know how much owners miss their pets while they’re away, so we provide regular updates and photos to help you stay connected and give you peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. David is home most days, and Andrew works from home three days each week, which means there is usually someone available to provide companionship, supervision, and care throughout the day. We enjoy staying active and regularly take multiple walks each day, typically covering a mile or more per walk. Depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and needs, they can enjoy plenty of exercise, enrichment, and time outdoors. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, we’re equally happy to provide a comfortable environment with plenty of attention and affection. Because we spend so much time at home, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and can maintain a routine that feels comfortable and consistent while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We provide boarding in our home, a clean and comfortable townhome with access to numerous walking trails, a large nearby park, and a dog park for social dogs who enjoy that environment. We understand that every dog is different, and activities are always tailored to your pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. We have extensive experience caring for reactive dogs and understand the importance of managing environments, avoiding unnecessary triggers, and respecting each dog’s boundaries. Whether your dog enjoys meeting new friends or prefers quiet walks and one-on-one attention, we will make sure they feel safe and supported during their stay. Before each booking, we take time to learn about your dog’s routine, preferences, medical needs, and any behavioral considerations so we can provide consistent care that feels as close to home as possible. We treat every dog as if they were our own and provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Vicenza, has been so great with my dog Marley! It takes Marley a long time to warm up to people and to trust them…and Vicenza has managed to do gain her trust in a short period of time.”
About: With over 10 years of dog/cat sitting experience, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care for every pet. I value building long-term relationships with the families I work with and pride myself on being flexible, dependable, and communicative. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!! I’m currently a student at CU Boulder, So I have plenty of time on my hands! I’m very flexible and can make almost anything work! I have a large backyard and 2 friendly dogs who love to play, as well as an extra dog crate. I’m also comfortable staying at your home so your animals can feel at ease!!
“I highly recommend Amy for any pet care needs that you may have. She was incredibly communicative and on top of everything. She seems very trustworthy and reliable. I will definitely be using her again to help care for my dog.”
“Kimberly was super responsive even at the last minute when I needed to figure out my day. Even though I had never worked with her before and I was a little bit chaotic that day, she made Scout's afternoon feel seamless and easy. It looked like he had a great time too! Thank you Kimberly 🙏🏻”
“Charlie is so dependable and takes care of Sam as though she were his dog! I know when he is scheduled for a walk, he will be there and give Sam a nice walk with a good friend! ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
Sophia was wonderful with Fig. He is a recently adopted rescue dog who was starting to reveal some reactive tendencies, so I was a little nervous about leaving him while I was away. He needed someone who was calm, attentive, compassionate, able to read him well, and who used good judgment when situations arose. Sophia was all of those things and more. She was incredibly patient with him, reliable, communicative, and sent thoughtful updates after every walk. I quickly felt completely comfortable knowing Fig was in her hands. I would absolutely recommend her!
I debated about leaving this review because I honestly wanted to keep Jordan to myself buuuuuut..... that would be unfair to Jordan so, here it is. Our girl Nova is a pit bull, and if you have one, you know. She's strong, she's energetic, and she does NOT warm up to just anyone. We had booked Jordan for a two-week house sit and he came by for a meet and greet beforehand. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous — Nova can be picky. But she took to him right away. Like, immediately. My husband and I both looked at each other like, okay, this is our guy. Then life happened. We had a family emergency and had to cancel on Jordan last minute. He was so understanding about it, no awkwardness, no attitude, just kindness. That really stuck with me. And THEN — still in the middle of everything — Nova ended up alone at home longer than we'd planned. I reached out to Jordan basically in a panic and he showed up for her without hesitation. Knowing she was in good hands while we were dealing with so much was genuinely such a relief. We travel a lot and finding someone I actually trust with Nova is hard. Jordan is our first call from here on out. If you have a big, strong, stubborn dog and need someone who gets it — he's your person.
Larisa did a great job in walking our dog Luca, a 65-pound English Shepherd. I felt confident going out of town for a week and leaving him in her hands. I knew her experience in dog training would keep him safe. Besides that, he loved her and could wait to take his walks!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Louisville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Louisville.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Louisville. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
