About: Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life! I have 2 cats of my own—both rescues! I love them with everything in me! I worked in animal hospitals as a vet tech for over 4 years as well as volunteering at Second Chances Wildlife Center. I’m very skilled at injections, administering medication, nail trims, giving fluids, whatever you need. I have exotic experience as well. I’ve worked with Avians, reptiles, rodents, all the above 💖 I currently work from home as a content creator designing clothes and editing videos for social media so I can work anywhere. I stay home with my pets all day everyday unless I’m at my part time gardening job :) Animals are always 100% my top priority. I strive to make sure they are always happy and healthy! I don’t want to disrupt their routine in any way. I want the pets I watch to be comfortable and stress free!
“I cant say enough good about Catherine. She is extremely professional and she has a true passion and love for dogs. And it shows. I had a vet appointment set for Willow that I needed to reschedule and Catherine offered to take her! That to me is just awesome. Catherine really is great at what she does and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Breanna is great! We left our pup for daycare, she played, relaxed, and went on a walk. Breanna was very responsive and provided great updates. We would absolutely leave our pup with her again.”
“Absolutely some of the best caretaking Charlie has had! Lori was great with Charlie. We met beforehand with her sweet pup to make sure the dogs would get along, and I really appreciated her thoroughness and quick communication. During his stay, Charlie got to run around and play with other dogs at her home and her family’s farm, but also had time to rest and relax. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up and slept the whole way home! 10/10 would recommend Lori!!”

About: Hi! I’m a college student with a lifetime full of animal experience! I’ve grown up in a home full of various different types of animals and have loved caring for pets for as long as I can remember! Over the years, I’ve owned many dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, ferrets, turtles, and even rats, so I’m very confident in my comfort around all sorts of personalities and routines. On top of that, I’ve cared for family, friends, and neighbors pets for half a decade, whether that meant walking dogs, drop in visits, feeding medication when needed, or overnight care. Not only do I also have experience with this app, I volunteered at the Kentucky Humane Society shelters occasionally throughout high school. As a college student who’s home for the summer, I’m extremely reliable and very flexible with schedules and last minute bookings! I know every pet has their own routine so I always make sure to follow all care instructions closely and provide plenty of updates and photos throughout each visit. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved until you’re home again 💕 I’m currently a college student who’s spending summer break at home so my schedule is pretty much open and flexible for all service requests! I’d love nothing more than to spend my summer watching and taking care of your pets! I have a spacious and fenced backyard, perfect for your pet to roam around and play! I also have a large crate, numerous dog toys and treats that can be provided if needed :)
About: I’ve always been the one friends and family when they need someone to love and care for their pets—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Spending time with animals is something that genuinely makes me happy. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, which means I have plenty of extra love, attention, and energy to give to yours. Lots of Free Time, with a Flexible Schedule I work part-time, which gives me the best of both worlds—structure and plenty of free time. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for your pup throughout the day, during evenings, and even at those odd or last-minute hours. Whether you need regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I have the time and commitment to make sure your dog feels cared for and never rushed. My Care Style Your dog’s comfort and happiness always come first. When they’re with me, they’re treated like part of the family—lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention included. I’m happy to follow your routines and preferences so your pup feels right at home, no matter where they are. Special Requests Every dog has their own quirks, routines, and favorite things. Please share any special requests or details about your dog ahead of time—I love learning what makes each pet unique and will do my best to keep their days feeling familiar and full of love. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to care for your pup even at the odd hours. With my flexible schedule you can rely on me to be there even in the tight times. Your fur baby will get plenty of love in my home between me and my friendly cat, Ambrose. I will usually let them roam free around the apartment and on my furniture unless otherwise noted. Basically, you tell me what it is you need from me at my home or yours and I will make it happen.
“Christina was incredibly accommodating, and took excellent care of Lillian, who was a little stressed over being someplace new for the first time. Wish I lived in the area so I could book her again; Christina was excellent and communicates well (and sent photos during the stay, which was a bonus!)”
“Today was Mac’s first day with Rachael and it went so well! She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day to let me know Mac was doing well with other new dogs and in a new place. Highly recommend. Will definitely be requesting her for future daycare needs.”
“Shelby is a covid dog and not socialized with other dogs at all. Myrna is very patient with her and pairs her with other dogs to teach her how to act. She spends the entire time with the dogs and has a great backyard for them to play in. Highly recommend!”
About: In undergrad I spent my summers working as a dog groomer. Now, as a medical student I am home studying every day, looking to provide day-to-day care to your precious babies. My apartment is pet friendly and I offer dog walking services as well as over night boarding. I ask that you provide food/necessary supplies- working as a groomer I know some angels have sensitive stomachs and require special diets. Accommodating this is no issue for me :) I am mostly inside my apartment studying. It would be no issue to board for a prolonged period of time or take breaks to go on walks. I ensure there is no access to trash, or food for curious pets. I also live in a non-smoking household. I do not provide my own supplies or cage.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
So glad I found Elizabeth and Phillip to watch Casper when we came into town for an all day bourbon tour! Phillip works from home so Casper had company all day which he enjoys. Phillip has a gentleness you notice right away so you can tell all dogs must just fall in love with him. They have a large fenced in yard and Casper got a couple walks also. Lots of trees and sidewalks in their area for walks. Super convenient location, would definitely recommend them!
Jeremy was amazing! We were traveling through Louisville for the first time and he was able to watch our dogs while we attended the event. Super good with the dogs, gave them plenty of attention and exercise, and even gave us parking and food tips for the night. Couldn’t recommend more!
Corey kept my dog active, but also made time for snuggles and chill on the couch. I received adorable photos throughout his stay and I can tell that my dog was well cared for and enjoyed his time with Corey and his dog too. Very warm and friendly and a very good experience.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Louisville on Rover is $29.97 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Louisville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 333 sitters in Louisville, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
