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.
About: I've been surrounded by critters since I was a little girl - from fish to foster puppies, reptiles, rats, bunnies, dogs, cats, and everything in between. Basically, you name it, I've hugged it. In the past year, I've started dog sitting regularly for several families in my hometown of Louisville, as well as in South Hadley, where I go to school. I love spending time with animals and look forward to getting to know yours! I'm a student in Richmond for the summer with a flexible schedule - I have plenty of free time all day, every day, and would love to spend my free time with your critters! I know all pets have unique needs, and am always willing to adhere to what you feel is best - whether that means six walks a day, regular litter box cleanings, or three-hour playtimes. I will always leave your house clean and make sure that your pet has all of their needs (and more) taken care of.
“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.”
“Athena was tremendous with my cat while I was gone for an extended trip. She took care of his needs and was very communicative. I would definitely book Athena for future cat-sitting needs.”
“We were very happy with William and our cat Toasty was too! William was quick to respond to the booking request and other communications. Our cat warmed up to him right away and he sent several pictures of them hanging out. Would definitely book with him in the future :)”
“This is my 5th or 6th time using Liz. Every time she sends good pictures and her communication is great! Fast responses, clear pictures and happy dogs every time. I don’t recommend giving short notices if you don’t have to but my job is last minute demanding and she’s been the best at responding last minute.”
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: What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with animals and believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I'm dependable, attentive to details, and committed to following your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. While I don't claim to be a professional trainer, I'm happy to reinforce the routines and commands you're already working on. I'm also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention and senior pets who may require a slower pace, additional patience, or special care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and reliable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I work a regular Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. job in the St. Matthews/Lyndon area and live in the Highlands, so I'm available for walks and drop-in visits during my lunch break as well as every weekday evening after 5:00 p.m. I also have availability most weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. I have a reliable car, which allows me to be flexible and dependable when traveling to clients' homes. I'm committed to keeping a consistent schedule and communicating clearly so you can feel confident your pet will receive the care they need when you need it. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other specific needs to help your pet feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I believe communication is important, so I'll provide updates and photos throughout each visit so you know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I'll adjust my care to match their personality and comfort level. Safety is always my top priority. I'll make sure your pet is secure on walks, has fresh water, receives plenty of attention, and is treated with the same care and respect I'd give my own pet. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family member.

I am happy to provide more attentive care evenings and weekends!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
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!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
