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.
“Thank you so much for being such a good friend to our pets. We're sorry to be moving away - Bruno, Enzo and Micki, especially - but if we come back to the area, we'll be sure to find you!”
“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 !”
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.
“Martyna did such a wonderful job with my pups today! I was so thankful she was available to pick up a last minute walk. I especially liked how in tune she was with what my dogs needed. She noticed that they were tired and hot during the walk and opted to spend the remaining time in the house playing and showing them extra affection, which is just what they needed. Thank you for your intuition and for being willing to adjust based on how the dogs were behaving. Can’t wait to book with you again!”
“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!”
“Tara was so awesome and caring!! she really made sure me and my pup felt safe and comfortable. She treated my pup with sooo much love ❤️ I’ll absolutely be requesting her again”
“Jennifer is wonderful! Clearly loves dogs, responsible, communicative and an incredible help. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and having her walk our dogs regularly. She’s good at creating boundaries with the dogs when it comes to jumping up in excitement, etc. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top notch dog walker!”
“Brett is great with our girls. I’m so glad that he’s been able to do this for us! I would highly recommend him great communication, punctual, and overall just a wonderful person.”
“Riley is excellent at communicating, and helped us out with a somewhat last minute request for two walks in one day. She was kind enough to do a meet and greet beforehand, asked great questions, and gave a detailed review of the walk after. Highly recommend Riley!”
“Sarah does an amazing job with walking my dogs during the day while I am working! She is on time, reliable, sweet to the dogs, and communicates well! You will not be disappointed with Sarah! Highly recommend!”
“Alyson was fantastic! She was always quick to respond and very punctual, which gave me great peace of mind. She took great care of Winston and he was happy and comfortable with her. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again! 5 stars”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
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!!
About: I’ve been taking care of and painting dogs and sometimes cats here and there for almost 4 years now. No professional work, only personal with family and friends. I would care for a dog and cat at Kodama Farm in Washington (My brothers farm). I cared for a 1 year old, husky puppy for 1 whole year, every so often (my sisters dog). I’ve had more friends and family ask me to watch their puppers. In total I’ve been with a golden retriever, black lab, black lab mix, husky, pekingese, french bulldogs and an australian shepherd. Sometimes I even make drawings or paintings of the dogs I’m with! I’m an artist and I’m striving to create a pet portrait business and what better way to get in touch with owners than this app! I work landscape a couple days a week and work late on Sunday doing cleaning for a wedding venue. So I’m pretty free and have high hopes that watching your little friends will keep me busy. If i’m not watching your pet then I hope to be painting/ drawing them! I have a fenced yard with access to go inside and outside whenever they please. I love with my family, my brother has a dog that’s more of a people person than a dog person. Then a cat that is used to other dogs, but he’s still a cat. I’m super close to Waneka Lake and I’m close drive from other various parks or open spaces.

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!

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

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.
