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.
“Jenna saved the day on very short notice. She arrived right on time and my girls seemed to like her. This was only her first visit but she seems very reliable. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Lauren was awesome on drop in visits and walks for us. Great communicator who let us know about a plumbing issue that arose while we were gone. We were very happy we booked again with her.”
“Stephanie was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond. Was considerate and available with excellent communication. She even took my elderly doggo to the vet while I was out of town because he wasn’t feeling well. Will not hesitate to book again :)”
“Jacqueline was amazing! She fit me in on a super short notice when I took an unplanned day trip. She was extremely communicative and kind, and even offered to do extra tasks that I hadn’t asked of her.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and now have my own dog and 2 cats who I adore and spoil. I love any excuse to be outside and going for walks, and even better with a pup or two! I live in Germantown in my house with a fenced-in yard, I have cared for senior dogs, raised a puppy, and managed multiple chronic illnesses with my cats - all worth it, and I am passionate about taking care of all animals. I have a hybrid work schedule, and work only a couple miles from my house, so I am consistently home and caring for my animals, and am happy to work with pet schedules that may need frequent check-ins! I have my own home, with a fenced in backyard. I walk my dog at least once a day, and am happy to accommodate different energy levels and needs
About: Hello! I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter who provides safe, loving care in a clean, comfortable home. I’m a single mom with a flexible full-time schedule that allows for convenient drop-ins, walks, and both in-home and house boarding. My home is located in a downtown area with acess to a yard for supervised play and exercise. We have lots of sidewalks and parks for walking around the area. Services I offer: Drop-in visits and daily care Dog walking Small-animal boarding and care In-home or house boarding (small/medium dogs considered) Emergency contacts and daily photo/text updates Why owners trust me: Prior experience working with veterinarians and professional groomers I create personalized ID tags with my contact information for every pet in my care Clean, safe environment and attentive supervision Flexible availability for last-minute needs and scheduled visits Loving, calm approach—your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority I have one friendly dog who is well-socialized and used to sharing space with visiting pets (management and introductions are handled carefully for each new guest). I’m happy to discuss introductions, meet-and-greets, and any special needs or routines your pet requires. I work mostly from home so I am able to provide your pet with as much care, love and attention possible. We love animals and would love to work with you. We offer a safe home for all sorts of animals. We have cameras throughout the property, we keep dogs on leash at all times when outside unless at an approved dog park. We have tons of windows for our cat friends to sun themselves. We don't chance anything. We know how much they mean to you and we strive to be diligent in safety and care.
“Breanna was absolutely wonderful with Cooper. She sent great pictures throughout the stay — Cooper looked happy, relaxed, and clearly loved spending time with her. She was always on time for walks and kept me updated without me ever needing to ask. Scheduling with her was easy and stress‑free, and she spent real quality time with Cooper, not just quick check‑ins. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Breanna for anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Erica made several home visits with my cat Doris while I was away on a trip. Her communication was great and she kept me updated on her visits with photos and messages. Would highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I'm a professional soccer player with a lifelong love for animals. I have a 3-year-old French Bulldog who has taught me just how important patience, routine, and lots of love are when caring for pets. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants someone to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I'll treat yours like they're part of my own family! I typically only work from 8am-12pm and I normally have multiple off-days per week. It's easy for me to be flexible in terms of care! I live in Nulu and have a great, safe walking route for Celo and I. Furthermore, I live close to a fenced-in park that allows off leash doggies to run around!
About: I absolutely love caring for dogs of all ages and needs, from playful puppies/kittens to sweet seniors, even blind pups! I offer exciting drop-ins and cozy overnights right in your home As a flexible college student home for the summer, I'm available for drop-ins and overnight stays! I'm working, but my schedule allows plenty of time to care for your pets. I care for your pets right in their home! They stay comfortable, stress-free, and follow their routine. While getting lots of love and attention.
“This is my second time using Daniel. Both times he was great and felt comfortable with him taking care of my cat. Would recommend. I will definitely use him again in the future.”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including two cats, a dog, a bearded dragon, and a tank of colorful fish, and also loved taking care of neighbor's pets when they traveled. I also had the opportunity to look after my sister's senior cat during the pandemic, including administering his bevy of daily meds. Although my current state in life makes having a pet of my own impractical, I continue to spend lots of time with animals, including my parents enormous rescue dog and a neighbors' sweet orange cat who I look after when she travels. I would love to help out with your pet care needs, and can even attempt to teach your furry friend anatomy or pharmacology (I'm in med school), although I can't guarantee they'll listen :) As a student, my schedule is fairly flexible and I can work with you to find a time that is ideal for both of us. Generally, I'm free for drop ins in the morning and evenings, as well as any time on weekends. I know that it's a huge act of trust to allow someone into your home and even more so to have them take care of your pet. Having always had pets growing up, I know that they all have their own quirks and different personalities, often known only to their owner. I promise to care for each pet as an individual, taking into account their (and your) preferences and wishes. I also aim to maintain good communication so you never have to wonder how they're doing in your absence.
About: Hello! I love looking after family and friend’s pets and would love the chance to do it more often. I’m responsible and caring and I will take very good care of your pets. Hi! I’m a flight attendant on reserve, which basically means I’m on call. So I’ll know a head of time the days I’m off for the following month. The days I’m call, I’ll usually be at home waiting around, so I’ll still be free to do pop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. I will walk them frequently. I will also make sure they are well taken care of and loved until they are back with you.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
Bayley was awesome with drop in visits for our dog! She took great care of her, especially responding to her fear of storms, which were plentiful while we were gone. She also quickly accepted our request to extend services after our return flight was cancelled. Highly recommended!
Carol took such amazing care of Bella while I was away. She always kept me updated and sent lots of pictures of Bella. I was so lucky to have found such a great dog sitter on such short notice! Carol went above and beyond to make sure Bella was well taken care of. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!
Magdalana went above and beyond! She followed all instructions perfectly, communicated very well, and showed a great amount of care during every visit. Our adopted dog Pepper is a bit tricky and sometimes reactive. We usually board her at her vet but they were at capacity. Pepper took to Magdalana immediately and looked like she was having a great time in all the pics we sent.
Madi was extremely responsive, respectful, and accountable. She helped me in a pinch and was flexible when it came to my sometimes unpredictable travel schedule. I appreciate all Madi did and I would recommend to anyone looking for somebody to help care for their pet.
Ryan was so helpful with our dog and two cats. Our regular pet sitter had to cancel last minute and Ryan really stepped up and helped us out so much. He even gave our cat medicine so he could feel his best while we’re gone. We will definitely be rebooking with Ryan sometime soon!
First time Rover user - and boy am I glad I booked with Becca. Becca was absolutely wonderful for Walker’s first Rover stay! From the start, her communication was excellent, which made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. Knowing Walker was in such good hands gave me total peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats the animals she watches like her own. The best part was getting pictures of Walker in the middle of my workday — it completely made my day and reassured me that he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time.I’m so grateful for the care she gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Becca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!
Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of our dogs while we were away. One dog is nervous around new people and pretty much anybody who isn’t us, and that in turn makes our other dog anxious as well. Jessica was gentle, resourceful, and creative in managing them and their drop-in visits. She also communicated well with us, so we felt our dogs were safe and in good hands. Thank you!

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Louisville on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Louisville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Louisville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Louisville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
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.
