“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.”
“Alycia took care of my dog and cat while I was away for a few days and she did an AMAZING job. She even left a thank you note and treats for both of them, a very kind suprise that my kids loved. This was my first time using Rover and I did not know what to expect. But Alycia exceeded my expectations and I will definitely book her again. She was very flexible to my changing schedule and provided detailed updates and pictures of each visit. Very kind and loving pet sitter, thank you!!”
“Rachael is amazing- she is prompt, courteous, communicative, knoweldgable and so sweet with our 11 week old Chocolate Lab. She has taken wonderful care of her, helped her adjust to her crate with lots of extra help that she went out of her way to do. We trust her in our home and would 100% recommend and will use her again. Thank you so much, Rachael :) - Charlie & The Gibbs”
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.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and recently shared 16 wonderful years with my own beloved pup. I deeply love dogs and love being outside, making dog walking a natural, joyful fit for me. I'm excited to give your dog the same dedicated love, care, and exercise I’ve always given my own. I recently retired from the corporate world and am making pet care the primary focus of my daily schedule. I'm dedicated to weekday dog walking between 9:00 AM and 2:30 PM. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I'm also available for overnight boarding any day of the week, allowing me to provide consistent, round-the-clock care whenever you need it. Your dog will get plenty of undivided attention here since we don’t have any other pets of our own! My two elementary school-aged daughters absolutely love animals and are great with them. Our home has a secure, fenced-in yard that's perfect for playing safely, and we have direct access to miles of awesome walking paths right outside our neighborhood. Whether your pup is coming over for boarding or out for a walk, they’ll get tons of fresh air, fun exercise, and a super warm welcome.
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.
“Martyna did a great job! She was punctual, communicative, and gave my pets lots of love while we were away. We really appreciated all the updates and photos. We came home to happy pets, and it was clear they had been in great hands! Looking forward to having Martyna watch our pets again.”
About: I've raised and trained my 8-year old Aussie, Bernie since he was a little guy. He's a very sweet and loving boy. For as long as I can remember, I've loved dogs. I decided to sign up for Rover to be around them more.🐕🤗 Over the years, I've watched dogs for friends and love to run with them in the park. I promise to help train them, engage them in physical play and teach them how to be a good running partner. I love running and trail running almost as much as I love our furry friends. If your looking for someone to help get your dog in physical shape and to teach them the ways of the park, I'm your guy! 🐕🏃 I currently work from home and run a small Turo business on the side. This allows me to be home most hours of the day. I spend a lot of time with my pup and plan to do the same with yours! My dog, Bernie, is a very good protector of the house and loves other dogs. When at dog parks, he plays sheriff and tends to break up fights, especially when the little guys get picked on. I'm not sure where he picked up this job but he takes it very seriously. 🚓 In addition, he'll keep your dog company whenever I'm not able to be home. In general, I take the safety of our furry friends very seriously and so does Bernie! 🤗
About: Hi, I’m Ashlynn! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and I’ve had cats of my own for over 10 years. I also adore dogs and have spent lots of time caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s curling up for a cozy cuddle session or heading out for a walk, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know what makes each one unique. I believe every pet deserves love, patience, and attention - and that’s exactly what I bring to every visit. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member like one of my own! I work a full time job during the week but am able to work from home on Fridays and am available most weekends! I’m more than happy to fit in weekend check ins or walks to my current schedule. I provide loving, dependable care for dogs and cats in the comfort of their own home - where they feel most secure and at ease. I follow your pet’s regular routine, including feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection tailored to their personality. I’m experienced with pets of all ages and always take the time to make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Kaili was wonderful to work with. One of my boys recently had an eye procedure and she provided very clear updates on his status while she was checking on both my cats. Communication, timeliness, and compassion are all A+. Would be happy to work with Kaili again in the future. Thank you for taking care of my boys.”
“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!”
“Jessica did a fantastic job with my two cats. She administered my cat, Peanut's meds like a pro. She sent pictures and communicated after every visit. It was a great comfort to me to know that they were being well taken care of and loved by Jessica.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 30 years and have had 4 chocolate Labs and 2 cats of my own. Training dogs using calm voice commands has always been second nature to me—it’s just how I’ve learned to work with them, with lots of patience and consistency. I’ve leash-trained a few friends’ dogs and helped reinforce good walking habits. I’ve also stayed overnight for friends for more than a week at a time, caring for their two dogs and one cat. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their humans are away. I’m new to Colorado. I transitioned here to gain residency for in-state tuition for my daughter. I’m still getting to know the area and just enjoying exploring this area. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I follow feeding schedules, walking habits, and house rules so pets feel relaxed and secure in their own space. I use calm voice commands, lots of patience, and positive reinforcement, especially with dogs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their personalities—whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being and communicate with owners if anything seems off. My goal is always to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
“Tigran has been awesome checking in on and walking my 85 pound sheepadoodle Larry, who can be both reactive and hyperactive. Tigran is calm, reliable, flexible, in control and eased my mind by taking such great care of him.”
“Danielle was great with Rumi! She was very responsive and spent quality time during our meet and greet, which I really appreciated. Rumi is a senior dog, and Danielle was very caring and attentive to his needs. She was also flexible with timing, which made everything easy. I felt very comfortable having her care for Rumi and would absolutely book with her again.”
About: Attention to detail and my availability will lead to satisfied clients. I’m also pretty fit and can keep up with some of the more agile dogs. I have a flexible schedule so adding this will be a great fit. Plus, I’ll enjoy spending more time with animals, a life goal of mine. I will take care of animals in their home according to the details left by the owners. I will clarify all questions with said owners

Excellent experience! Alycia was on time, responsive, and reliable. She took excellent care of our senior dog, who has limited mobility and medication needs. Our shy cat loved her too and came out to play and socialize. We are so grateful for her attentive care and would happily book with her again.
Rachael takes wonderful care of our Leo! 🐈⬛ He’s always so happy, well rested, and well fed when we return after her visits. She gives great detailed updates and always listens to ours & Leo’s silly requests. ☺️ We hope to always have her available to visit Leo! ✨

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Louisville is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 13,385 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
