“Jordan is so great with our grumpy cat, Monkey! She is beyond reliable and provides excellent care, even when it is not appropriately appreciated by the four legged creature. She knows how to take cues from Monkey, respecting her boundaries while still providing comfort. We are so thankful to her.”
“Curtis is good with dogs, our pup loved him at the meet and greet. Curtis seems to have done some training with her at the 1 home hour visit, which we had requested”
“Becky did a fantastic job with our pups, giving them lots of attention, play time, training, and walks. She's a great communicator and we felt very confident they were in good hands, especially with all of her knowledge of dogs, behavior, and training. We would definitely book with her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Lila was very responsive and helped us out on last minute notice. Lila took great care of my cat and was extremely communicative throughout the process and our trip. A great Rover. Thanks Lila!”
“Anna was so friendly and patient, and truly wanted to make friends with our kitty cats. She sent photos from all her visits to reassure us that our cats were in good hands.”
“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!!”
“Kimmy was the best with our Moon Pie, I think Moonie likes her more than me 😂 feel so much better to have a such nice person take care of our little fur baby. Would absolutely book again!”
“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.”
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.
“Jennifer was very accommodating with my last minute booking. I felt at ease with all the questions she asked prior to checking on my pets. This was my first time using rover and everything went smooth and loved getting pics and feedback on how they did with her. ☺️”
“Martyna was wonderful with our cat! She spent plenty of quality time with him during each visit, made sure he was well-fed, and kept him stimulated with play. We felt very comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: We’re a family of four who loves caring for dogs. We have 2.5 acres, a fenced in yard, and give lots of TLC. Walks around the neighborhood and on trails too. My husband and I work from home and love going on walks. When the kids are home from school they dote on the animals a lot too. In the house, your dog is welcome to go where they please & feel most comfortable…which is often right by us. Feel free to bring their own dog bed or any blankets that remind them of home. We board no more than 2 dogs at once, and often it’s just one. The house is still a home. And your best buddy welcome anytime!
“Kamaile did a great job. Followed directions perfectly, was prompt and communicated each visit. Most importantly our diabetic cat was medicated and fed on time and as directed. He was happy when we got home and seemed to enjoy his visits. We loved the photos! Will definitely book again with Kamaile.”
About: I’ve been privileged to have dogs be apart of my entire life. From having them as pets, caring for others, and volunteering for multiple shelters over the years, dogs have been a priority for me. I have deep respect for routines and instructions, can work with new born to seniors (who are just babies really), and will give them the love and attention they deserve. I am currently working on aspects of my education and have a lot of time to dedicate to pet care. I have minimal travel this Summer, so would be interested on a one time walk to a long term sit, and everything in between. I have reliable transportation and I’m allergic to being late. Communication and following instructions is top priority for me, so you will never wonder how your wonderful companion is doing. When caring for pets in your home my priorities include respecting your property, your instructions, and your animals needs. Schedules are followed to a T and communication including updates and pictures if wanted!

Ariane was great with both of my kitties! She showed up consistently and sent pictures after each visit. She followed all of the instructions I left and reached out for clarification as needed, which I really appreciated. I hope she will be available when I take my next trip out of town! Thank you, Ariane!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Louisville on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,489 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.
