“Holly was fabulous when we left our two young cats alone for an extended period for the first time. She gave them plenty of cuddles and all the food/water/litter they needed, and gave us plenty of cute photos and videos! The boys adore her and were delighted to chill in her lap and get belly rubs. She even cleaned up a mess one of them made on the floor with a soda can. Thank you as always!”
“Riley was amazing. Very attentive and thorough. Lots of pictures. This is my First time using Rover and I will continue to be very happy with the service if everyone treats my sweet pup like Riley did.”
“Tara was so great sending pictures and really enjoying the time spent with my girls, they were mich less stressed with her coming to visit each day while I was away.”
“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.”
“Julia did drop in visits for my cat Sage while we were out of town for three weeks. This is the longest we have ever left our kitty which was hard, but seeing the updates from Julia every day made us feel so at ease! Sage got along so so well with Julia (and cats are a great judge of character if you ask me). I have used many different sitters for drop in visits for Sage in the past, and Julia provided the best daily updates we have ever received from a sitter! The updates were so thoughtful and we got lots of pictures, which we loved receiving every day while we were away.”
“As first time Rover users, Becky did a great job walking us through the process. The daily pet pictures were much appreciated and made us confident that everyone was doing well while we were away.”
“Jennifer was great! My kitty is still adjusting to his new home and she was patient and very detailed with her check-ins. I will definitely be hiring Jennifer again when I am out of town.”
“Anna has consistently looked after my cat Julius whenever I am away and does an amazing job every time! I highly recommend Anna for any of your pet needs, she always provided timely updates with lots of photos from her visits so I can see how Julius is doing while I’m away.”
About: I have been a devoted cat and dog owner for many years and have medical experience from my late cat which included glucose testing, IVs, and insulin injections. My husband and I whole-heartedly believe our pets are our family and we're the ones living in their castle. Therefore, your pets will be treated like the kings and queens that they are. My husband and I usually tag team pet sitting, we have opposite schedules so usually someone can always be around if not the both of us! We have a small fenced yard and our pup is bell trained due to us having strictly indoor cats. Any special routines you have in your home we will be sure to follow.
“Let Elizabeth put yourind at ease and book her! She was very accommodating and was a tremendous help with all of my pets, including my lizards! This was our first time using to we and hiring a sitter. Elizabeth gave detailed updated every visit and I can tell my dogs and cat made a new friend. It was such a stress free vacation knowing they were in such good hands.”
“Lauren helped me out during the holidays and did such a wonderful job taking care of Kona for daily drop in visits while I was away! Kona is an anxious senior cat and doesn’t require much, but I could tell she was happy when I got back! I plan to rebook Lauren the next time I go out of town! Thanks Lauren!”
“Tori was super flexible and did a great job with our two shepherds when we had some travel plans change during the holidays. She was very communicative and we will definitely use her for future trips.”
“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.”
“Nicole ALWAYS takes good care of our babies! A few days before leaving, our two older cats got really sick & I was super anxious about leaving. Nicole made me feel more at ease leaving them..she always does amazingly detailed reports and describes our cats perfectly-showing attention to each of their personalities! Thanks for being our go to cat sitter!!”
“Robyn helped us out on a last minute pinch with another cancellation. She was communicative and the dogs loved her. We look forward to booking with her again - next time with some more notice!!”
“Lali was incredible and we would recommend her sitting services to anyone!! On a daily basis, she sent my wife and I photo updates of our two dogs as well as short reports on what they did and how they spent their time together. We would leave six stars out of five if we could!!!”
“Cole is kind, conscientious and reliable. Prior to starting, he came over to meet us to make sure that he and my dog were compatible companions. His visits allow my dog to get outside for a bit during the day while I’m at work, which allows me to do my job without the stress or anxiety of worrying about my dog and constantly having to rush to leave/return as soon as possible. Grateful to have his help and appreciate that he is so awesome!”

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!
Brenda is a thoughtful, caring, and communicative host! We love when she is available to see our cats during our trips, it feels like they do too! She treats them the way we treat them and we can tell a difference in their comfort when she has come to see them - they are team Brenda and so are we!
Curtis was a great cat caretaker. Our cat is usually leery of strangers, but he took immediately to Curtis. It was so nice to see his daily close-up photos and to hear about Izzy being playful and cuddly with him. Very reliable and communicative. Highly recommend
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 for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 13,504 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
