“Sarah is an awesome pet sitter. My Border Collie adjusted well to his 3 daycare stays. Sarah’s Aussie was a great companion for Rio. When I picked him up, I could sense he was treated well.”
“Benny had an AMAZING time at Jessica's! Loved getting the video and pictures of him having the zoomies and playing in the pool. Jessica was easy to communicate with and 100% will be using her services again.”
“Curtis has been watching our puppy for almost two months now regularly and does a wonderful job with him. Our puppy is more reserved with people but loves Curtis. He has made the effort to really get to know our dog and provide him with the type of attention and care he needs. Through his patient and thoughtful care he has clearly gained our shy puppy’s affections, which is the ultimate endorsement!”
“Kristina was amazing! We had a half-day visit, before a bigger overnight visit, to allow a meet and greet with her and her pups. Very kind and welcoming for the whole thing, and such an ease to work with!”
“Tori had a great first doggie daycare day with Charissa's family. She's little, but loved playing with their big dog Akira, and they sent great pictures of her snugging and getting loved on by the kids. We'll be coming back for sure!”
About: Hey! I am a lifelong animal lover who for the first time in my life am without my own resident dog. I've always had a dog in the family, since i was 1 month old, and until now have never lived without one. I've had Labrador Retrievers, Dobermans, Collies, Pitbulls- so plenty of experience with strong personality and physically strong dogs. I've raised dogs from puppies to past 16 years old- I have experience with the energy of a puppy and the patience for the elderly. Whether it's long walks, hikes, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe and happy. I work from home full time, which means I'm around and available for plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I can easily adjust my breaks to fit your pet's routine. I am an early riser to likes to enjoy most of the daylight. After work hours I'm typically out of the house for no more than 3 hrs at a time. On weekends, i like to get outside as much as possible and would love to include your dog on my walks or hikes. While i do not have a yard, I have a large 2 car garage that can be used for play. My development has an onsite dog park that can be used if your dog is friendly and responsive in park settings. I have a spare dog crate and can crate the dog as needed when I am not home.
“Heather and her family exceeded my expectations! It was like leaving your children with family. They have such a warm and friendly environment and treat your pets as their own. Thank you so much!!”

“Irina did a wonderful job caring for our pup. We used the translation app so that we could communicate clearly. Her home is very clean and neat and there’s a nice area in the fenced back yard for pups to play.”
“Anthony was amazing with my puppy, and you can tell right away that he loves dogs. He sent me several photos and updates, and I can tell she had been greatly taken care of. His awesome dog Bodhi was super sweet to my little dog and she now has a big brother and new best friend. We will for sure be back! I can highly recommend Anthony.”
“Alexander was such a wonderful sitter! He was easy to work with, communicate with, and was beyond friendly. He clearly had a nice and clean home. His dog is such a cute sweetheart!

“Riley was wonderful to work with and our puppy did very well with her. She was an excellent communicator throughout scheduling and our meet and greet. She has a very calm, patient energy that is a great match for my anxious little dog. Highly recommend and looking forward to working with her again!”
About: I have 36 continuous years of personal experience caring for, handling, and living with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Over nearly four decades, I have successfully managed everything from high-energy puppies to gentle senior dogs requiring special patience and medication schedules. My deep familiarity with canine behavior allows me to read a dog's body language quickly, keep environments calm, and handle unexpected situations with total confidence. I specialize in providing structured, loving care that makes dogs feel safe and relaxed right away. I work from home, which means pet care is seamlessly integrated into my entire day. Because I am always home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. My daily routine is highly flexible, allowing for constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and immediate attention whenever a dog needs it. I schedule regular play breaks in the yard and structured walks around the lake throughout the day, ensuring that your pet maintains a consistent routine that closely mirrors the comfort and attention they receive at their own home. Safety is my absolute highest priority. My home features a large, fully fenced, and secure backyard equipped with an extra-large doggie door, allowing dogs independent and seamless yard access. I have a very friendly, social 6-year-old Labrador who serves as an excellent playmate and co-host for guest dogs. To ensure a safe environment for everyone, I strictly host dogs that are fully potty-trained, non-destructive, and socialized. I also require a mandatory 15-minute meet-and-greet on neutral ground before booking to guarantee a perfect fit.
“Oh my gosh, Alesha is incredible! She took care of our sweet puppy like he was one of her own puppies. She sent me so many updates (which was sooo appreciated) and Otis got so much love from her children. So thankful we found Alesha as a pet sitter! Will definitely book with her again!!!”

Kristina took amazing care of little Rumi! She walked me through how to introduce Rumi to her dogs Stella and Jenny to find out if they get along. Kristina also communicated very well, kept me in the loop throughout the day, and asked if Rumi could go to the grocery store before going. Thank you Kristina!
Patty had a wonderful day with Laurissa and her puppy, and she really enjoyed all the activities Laurissa planned for her. We’ll definitely use her daycare services again whenever we need them, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Brian was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Blu! He was extremely inviting with my last minute bookings and took awesome care of my pup. I could clearly tell that my dog loved being around him and the second day he spent with Brian he was not only excited when we pulled up but also visibly sad to leave him for the day. Would love to have Blu back with Brian soon! He also gave me some awesome tips for getting some of his extra energy out!
Hector and Emily are the absolute BEST! My puppy Rudy lovesssss going to their apartment and spending the day with them. They truly love and care for dogs with their entire heart. This is the best place you could send your dog (I think Rudy likes their place more than his own home now hahaha). Their dog, Lemon, is the kindest and best dog too. If you want someone to treat and love your dog like their own, send your dog to them for the highest quality of care and the best people.
Oh my gosh, Alesha is incredible! She took care of our sweet puppy like he was one of her own puppies. She sent me so many updates (which was sooo appreciated) and Otis got so much love from her children. So thankful we found Alesha as a pet sitter! Will definitely book with her again!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Louisville on Rover is $46.62 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Louisville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,361 sitters in Louisville, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
