“I could not have found a better sitter if I had tried!! 10 stars if I could! Maddy is exceptionally communicative, but more importantly, she built a bond with my cat and made leaving him alone so much easier knowing he was in great hands. She sent multiple photos at every drop-in along with a short paragraph detailing how he was doing, which gave us such peace of mind. 🤍 thank you Maddy!!!”
“Kisha was our first cat sitter and she set the bar high! She was the gold standard for someone we wanted to take care of our cats! Kept us updated with photos and daily ongoings. Our cats were fed, happy, and clean!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been caring for the animals of friends and family for many years. I have experience caring for puppies and older dogs. I understand how hard it is to leave the furry member of the family to someone else’s care so I am dedicated to treating them as my own. I am currently a PhD student so I have many flexible hours throughout the day. With access to a car, I can reliably drop in and walk animals several times a day if needed. I can come to the home to care for and walk pets as needed. I know how to walk dogs of many sizes safely and have even leash trained my cat. Pets have different care needs and I am well equipped to adapt to each pet.
About: I provide professional, individualized pet care for owners seeking a higher level of attention and reliability. As a consultant who works primarily from home, I am able to offer a level of supervision and flexibility that many sitters cannot. My home is calm, private, and designed with your pet's comfort in mind, featuring a fully fenced backyard and no children or other pets. I intentionally limit the number of animals in my care to ensure each pet receives dedicated attention. Medication administration and basic grooming are included as part of my standard care. I also enjoy photography and provide regular updates and high-quality photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. While dogs are my specialty, I welcome a variety of pets and offer boarding, in-home overnight care, daycare, and dog walking services. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, professional care and complete peace of mind while you're away. Why Clients Choose Me: ✔ True One-on-One Care – No other pets or children, so your pet gets my full attention ✔ Work-From-Home Presence – Consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day ✔ Routine-Focused Approach – I mirror your pet’s home schedule to reduce stress and anxiety ✔ Calm, Safe Environment – Fully fenced yard and a quiet, low-traffic home ✔ Flexible Service Options – Boarding, in-home stays, daycare, and walks all available ✔ Health-Conscious Care – Comfortable with medication administration and basic grooming ✔ All Pets Welcome – Dogs are my specialty, but I care for a wide range of animals ✔ Respect for Your Rules – Whether your pet is couch-spoiled or crate-trained, I follow your lead Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work primarily from home as a consultant. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, flexible scheduling, regular exercise, and attentive care throughout the day. I provide individualized care in a safe, quiet environment with a fully fenced yard, no children, and no other pets. I closely follow each pet's routine, prioritize safety and comfort, and provide regular updates to owners.
“Jenniffer went above and beyond to make sure that Zoey was well cared for and had time to enjoy outside and take care of business :) She had great contact with us throughout the weekend and allowed us to enjoy our family get away knowing that Zoey was in GREAT hands - highly recommend Jenniffer !!!”
“Grace was fantastic! Oliver clearly loved spending time with her! She went above and beyond and relieved my stress of having to leave my pup at home for so long. I will definitely be booking again in the future 😄”
“Rhonda was an amazing caretaker for our cat while being out of town for a few days. She was friendly, responsive, timely, and provided excellent care services. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking on Rover!!”
About: I have several years of pet care experience, watching animals of any kind and loving every minute of it! I have participated in training my own dog and have rescued and re homed several cats. I share experience in watching/walking dogs in training and those of senior age groups, I’m an animal lover at heart. I am a college student but am flexible at different times throughout the week depending on the times needed. My schedule is consistently open on weekends! I consider myself a responsible person when it comes to pet care. I am attentive, perceptive and understand every pet has a different personality. I hold a good routine in mealtime, bathroom breaks and make sure to give plenty of playtime or cuddles to pets who are interested!
“Oliva is a dog whisper, and a true animal lover. She is gentle and patient with your animal, has alot of knowledge about different dog behaviors and great instincts on modifications if needed. Olivia is very dependable and a great communication. She is to talk to if your schedule changes or your pets needs change. She goes above and beyond and really forms an instant connection withe your dog/ cat. My dogs knew when it was time for her to come take them for there walks, they would be waiting by the front door for her like clock work. My two dogs bonded with her on the first day and it really warmed my heart. Olivia is honest, caring, and a true angel .I will definitely be recommending her to others and be using her again.”
“Jewels was great with my two cats! She sent pictures with each visit. She played with my cats and gave them some fresh air on the balcony. It felt great knowing they were well cared for while I was out of town.”
About: I adopted a rambunctious shelter cat 5 years ago. She’s a wild child with a big personality! And I took in a stray cat about 2 years ago, who needed lots of care, including surgeries, food insecurity behaviors, etc. I’ve cared for cats my entire life, but these 2 girls have taught me how to handle the extremes. I am very knowledgeable about cats and their needs, and I can promise you, your baby will be taken care of as if they were my own (aka like perfect princess angels that I’d go to war for) I work from home, so I can immediately take care of any and all needs. I frequently check on my 2 cats, and have no issue stepping away from my desk if needed. In my home: My 2 cats have their own bedroom, catered to their playtime and nap time. They have free rein of the house, and are very welcoming to other cats. They are up to date on vaccinations and vet care, and they do not go outside for their safety. In your home: I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, with kindness and patience. I will follow your routine. I will be sure to change my clothes and take off my shoes to avoid any anxiety from smells of my own pets.
“Skylar took excellent care of my cat, Freya! Communication was wonderful throughout my trip, and knowing Freya was in such caring hands gave me so much peace of mind. I recommend Skylar 1000% and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you for taking such great care of my girl! 💕”
About: I’ve dog sat and house sat for friends before and they have trusted me with their house and animals, generally for 1 week but sometimes for longer or shorter. I take very good care of the home and animals, listen to instructions careful and apply those instructions in order to be helpful. I will always be upfront and honest with everyone and I always communicate well. I currently work as a full time server at Texas Roadhouse and live by myself. I am not married nor have any kids yet so it’s just me. My schedule is pretty flexible in the morning to early afternoon due to having to serve at night generally. I don’t mind coming in to help before and after work. I don’t have any pets in my own home because I can’t due to landlord rules but I grew up with animals throughout my whole life. I play with the animals if they want to play, pet them, feed them when they need to be fed, take them on walks (dogs), just have fun with them!
About: I am the biggest animal lover and I would agree that they love me just as much! I am a babysitter and I work as a substitute in the GCCS school system. (Requests outside of my radius may require a travel fee) I am a substitute teacher so with that I do not have to work every single day which gives me extra free time for pet care! I offer care for pets in a clients home by following all instructions and respecting my clients space, boundaries and pets. I understand how much fur babies mean!
About: I have been in the pet-sitting scene for 3 years now! Started with friends and family, then branched out from there! I've learned how to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and my favorite type of pet: rodents (Guinea Pigs are the Best!). Taken care of older pets that need medications and careful care, as well as young and energetic pets that need some more playtime and enrichment! I believe one of the most important skills to have to be a great pet sitter is proper and clear communication with the owners. I communicate how often an owner would want! I would communicate with videos and pictures of your pet's adventures, or communicate any concerns if any arise. I want to make sure that while you're away, you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy! :) I do work part-time as of right now, typically working 15-25 hours a week. I mostly work morning shifts from 10:30-5:00, but usually leave an hour early. If you need me to stay most of the day, please let me know at least a month in advance; I would happily take off work! There are a few things I would like to know about your furry little friend: 1. How often do they need to go out? 2. How much enrichment do they need? 3. Do they take any medication? 4. Do they have any triggers I should be concerned about? 5. Do they have a good understanding of commands? (It's ok if not :3) 6. How long can they be left alone? Please inform me of anything I need to know. I want to make sure your baby/babies are taken care of! I can't wait to meet some new friends! I'm currently working a part-time job typically working 15-25 hours a week. I usually work morning shifts ranging from 10:30-5 or 11:00-5:00, but sometimes get off an hour early depending on the day. If I need to stay for the majority of the job, please let me know at least a month in advance; I will gladly ask off! I will inform you of my schedule when we talk! :) I ensure I’m properly informed of your pets making sure I know their personality, if they have medication, habits, etc. I make sure they have plenty of enrichment through the day and I love to update my clients of their pets well-being by sending pictures, videos, and more!
“Cannot recommend Rose enough. I was in a tight spot needing a pet sitter last minute and Rose was very flexible to meet my schedule and make sure my pets schedule stayed the same as well while I was away. Rose was punctual, communicative, and truly attentive to my cats’ needs. They both seemed happy and well cared for when I returned. Would book again!”
“Emmalea did a wonderful job checking in on our two cats while we were away for a short trip. Her communication with us was top notch, and I would definitely recommend Emmalea. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we returned home, and we knew that they were cared for well while we were away.”

I highly recommend Ciara. This was my first time using Rover, and connecting with her worked out perfectly for Teddy. He doesn’t do well in cages or crates, so pet boarding wasn’t an option. He’s a big, sweet boy, but other cats tend to push him around, making that environment unsuitable. I decided to give in home visits a try, and it was a great choice. Teddy was happy and content when I got home, without any of the stress he sometimes experiences. Ciara took excellent care of him.
I could not have found a better sitter if I had tried!! 10 stars if I could! Maddy is exceptionally communicative, but more importantly, she built a bond with my cat and made leaving him alone so much easier knowing he was in great hands. She sent multiple photos at every drop-in along with a short paragraph detailing how he was doing, which gave us such peace of mind. 🤍 thank you Maddy!!!
Donai did a fantastic job looking after our dogs and cats. She sent multiple pictures at every visit to keep us up to date and it was plain to see all our pets were very comfortable with her as even the most reclusive of the cats was out for a cuddle. Highly recommend!
Elsie did the most wonderful job watching our cats while we were on vacation! She went above and beyond in taking care of them and keeping them entertained. I loved seeing the pictures she would send after each visit. It was such a comfort to know they were in great hands while we were away! We would absolutely book her again.
Jacqueline did an absolutely stellar job -- I got TONS of pictures of my kitties to help me feel secure while I was on vacation, and she did an amazing job both with the routine feeding/cleaning care as well as pets/play :) great communication, and was even able to be flexible and handle an extra day when my flight got cancelled. Highly recommend for all future pet care needs!
Maggie always treats our fur babies like family, and keeps us updated with daily reports and pictures. This provides peace of mind when we travel. She is a caring sitter and we use her every time we go out of town, knowing she will take care of our girls like a member of the family.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Louisville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 per visit.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
