“Elizabeth and Phillip are great communicators and took care of Rosie while we were gone over the 4th of July. Its sweet to know she is well taken care of.”
“My maltese, Lily, stayed with Julie and her son. They were wonderful in every way! She sent me daily texts and cared for her like she would her own. Excellent experience! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Ciara is awesome! She started watching Hudson after his sister passed. She makes sure to walk him and give him his exercise. She also sends a lot of pictures so you feel more at ease about leaving your dog. Hudson loves Ciara and loves to snuggle with her. She has taken extra special care of him and shows him lots of attention”
“Heather was amazing and I will definitely use her again. She was accommodating to my last minute request for boarding. She was also responsive when I reached out and had a very caring spirit.”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”
“Aspen was a great dog mom for my pups while I was out of town. She communicated clearly about the arrangements and expectations. She made sure the pups were taken care of and they had a blast. Came home worn out from playing. She also provided updates and pics while she was watching them. I would gladly use her again!”
“Ami was amazing. She sent so many pictures of Wagner having a good time. She communicated frequently and i felt so comfortable leaving him with her. He loved being there.”
“we are so glad we found Beth M! our dog Tuko loves her and so do we. great person, excellent communicator! Beth takes your pet into her home with her own and her family. we have not enough words to recommend Mrs. Beth M. Great sitter.”
“Sometimes it's hard to really know if someone is a dog lover, but not Stephanie. It's obvious from the get-go that dogs are a part of her life. Meeting her for the first time, we knew our Maggie was in the right hands. She's attentive, sent us pictures and videos of Mags while we were on vacation, loving, and updated us as she cared for her. She's on our short list for regulars now. Definitely recommend!”
“Sarah was wonderful with Missy and sent pictures to let me know how she was doing. My sweet Missy came home worn out which lets me know she had fun. Thank you, Sarah!!!”
“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Valerie took great care of my 2 golden boys. I get really anxious leaving them behind, but they seemed like they got tons of exercise (which is a feat for my 1.5 year old) and had lots of fun! Definitely will be using her for any future trips.”
About: Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded with pets and been given the opportunity to care for dogs numerous times. I am very patient with animals and genuinely find joy spending my time with them. After recently graduating from college and moving into a studio apartment, it has been an adjustment not being surrounded by pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to not only help others, but also to find fulfillment spending time with pets. Although I work a 9-5, I am willing to make plenty of time before or after work to accommodate your needs. I am a morning person, so I would be more than happy to take your dog on an early morning walk or be there to let them out. I also will be able to take care of them in the afternoon. My weekends are free to help at any time. You can trust me with your pet because I treat animals with the same amount of respect that I’d treat any person. It is my priority to ensure their safety while also having fun. I would love to take them on walks at the park and am open to having them at my apartment if needed.
“Amazing! Rachael was great very communicative and sent me pictures and videos of Aspen! She can be a handful so to hear she did great made me very happy. Couldn’t have been more pleased. Will definitely be going back! :)”
“Jewels was incredible watching Moose while I was away on spring break! She sent me plenty of updates and i got my dog back tired and happy. I will definitely continue using her❤️”
“We had a wonderfully experience with Kaitlin as our dog sitter. She arranged a meet and greet beforehand to introduce our dogs and address questions and concerns on both sides. Kaitlin took the time to observe our dogs together and ask questions about their routines, quirks, preferences, etc. She is responsive to messages and skilled at keeping our dog on its medicine routine. When we picked them up, they were genuinely happy and they’d not picked up any bad habits. We look forward to doing this again with Kaitlin.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Louisville is $40

Ami was one of the best sitters we’ve had! She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent so many photos of the adventures they had. My two dachshunds had the best day with her and were ready to nap when we picked them up. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about pups. I hope to use her again in the future 😊
The best Rover experience! You can tell Emily loves animals so much and cares for them like her own. Thank you Emily for taking care of my two babies, they had a blast! Emily sent updates and photos/videos during their stay and it was so nice. I truly felt so worry-free and relaxed knowing they were so loved.
Destiny treated my 2 dogs like her own - my nervous 12 year old ate every meal, got his medications, and had a great time. Besides just walking them, they got to go to our dog park. Her photo updates were prefect - I knew they were happy so I could enjoy my vacation.
Anthony was great! Communicarion was good. He agreed to do a meet and greet before we decided. He was affecionate and engaged with Raven as soon as they met. Raven LOVES meeting new people, so this was great for her. She was with him from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon. He sent pics starting soon after dropoff. He answered our questions about how she was doing quickly. We had recently had a Rover visit aith a different sitter where she either had a bad intestinal bug or a severe anxiety reaction. Nothing like that here. She was thrilled to see me when we got back, but is her normal self, not needing to recuperate! Will look forward to using Anthony again.
Leah was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and had such a calm, welcoming demeanor. Her home was very clean and well cared for, and it was clear how much thought and intention she puts into creating a safe, comfortable environment. You can really see how much she cares for the pets in her care. We would absolutely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Louisville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 467 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
98% of Louisville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Louisville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Louisville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Louisville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Louisville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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 KY 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
