About: I have been taking care and sitting pets since I was 16. I was raised having both cats and dogs, I love animals and playing with them! I am currently a student at the University of Louisville! Therefore, I have the time to be able to be a sitter and be flexible to accommodate needs and wants. At my house I have a dog and cats, they are well fed according to their schedule. While at other people’s homes I accommodate to the wants and needs of the clients as well as what their fur babies may need. For example, longer more frequent walks, or more playtime and attention.
About: I’ve lived with pets all my life, and I’m pretty relaxed and patient with animals. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in the middle, I try to match their vibe and keep things comfortable for them — just like I do with my students. I can handle walks, feeding, and giving nervous pets time to warm up. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always make sure pets get the care and attention they’re used to at home. My schedule is pretty flexible. I only teach in the evenings twice a week, so I have plenty of time during the day and on weekends to give pets steady attention, walks, playtime, and care that matches their normal routine. I live in a very pet-friendly apartment building with strong security and controlled access. I keep a calm, organized environment and follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I always pay attention to details and make sure pets are never put in unsafe situations.
“Alan is quick to respond and always leaves our house in excellent condition! We’ve booked with him multiple times over the past year and my golden retriever always seems happy and well cared for! The only constructive ask would be for Alan to share more proactive updates and photos each day. Overall, Alan is a wonderful sitter and we are so thankful.”

About: I'd love to take your dog for a run! I've always had pets of all kinds and it is such a joy to care for them! I grew up with a dog, bird, lizards, rats, and hamsters, and now have a Pyrenees and two bunnies. I have also fostered puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience with all walks of life I work full time, but in a flexible job where it's easy for me to come visit your pets multiple times a day. I love to run and walk, so taking your pups for any type of exercise is the best part of my day! I always treat my pets like another member of the family and will treat your babies with the same love, care, and respect. It's hard to be away from them and you need to feel secure that they are well cared for.
“Kaitlyn is a great sitter. She took such good care of our babies. We have a senior dog with health issues, and Kaitlyn was very patient and caring. We will definitely be hiring her in the future.”

“Bayley took great care of our big boy goldendoodle! She provided frequent updates while we were away and was extremely responsive. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“I am so glad Donai was in town and able to sit for Leo on such short notice. I had Donai sit before Rover and did an amazing job, Leo loves Donai and I was updated with pictures during the visits. I give 5 stars for sure! Highly recommended ❤️”

“Amber is wonderful. She stayed at our house with our fur baby 24 hours for a week. Sent pictures and left the house nice and tighty. Will definitely use from now on. Highly recommend!!”

About: There is nothing in the world like a dog. I absolutely love them all. Four legged monsters looking for a good time and I love it. I am a tennis pro and I usually travel for work so when I’m home, I’m free to watch the dogs almost all the time. Being a tennis pro, I keep some tennis balls within arms reach. Outside of the fun stuff though, I’m practically always available and what better way to use that time than to play with dogs. At my home it is fenced in so my dogs have a place to run around. With the clients home, I can make it fun and safe within the parameters that they set like I’ve done in my home.
“DeAndria was absolutely amazing to our pups! One of our dogs requires a lot of attention & patience and she met his needs flawlessly. They got lots of love, snuggles, and walks! She sent us photos every day too which was much appreciated. We will absolutely book with her again!”

“Jenna was very attentive with my dog and with taking in all of my instructions and notes about him. She sent me pictures and kept me updated throughout the day. Highly recommend as a sitter and will definitely book with her again should an opportunity come up again!”

“Annika was an excellent dog sitter! She was a great communicator and sent pics and videos of our pup while we were away. We would absolutely book Annika again without hesitation!”

“Willow was wonderful with my 13 year old dog. He was flexible and easy to work with. Stayed at my house until I returned home! Reliable, stayed in touch with pictures and texts. Willl use him again!”


About: Before I moved here to college, I worked at Pet Supplies Plus for almost four years! The main part of my job was to care, feed, and clean all the wonderful animals we housed. Seeing all the dogs who came into the store for their grooming appointments was my favorite part of my job! I am currently a student at Bellarmine University full-time. I am also a part of the mock trial team this semester, so on occasion I have tournaments away for the weekend but whenever I have a free weekend I would love to dog sit. My class schedule is spread out and I have almost every evening free besides Tuesdays. At my home, we have a nice fence we built for our dogs. I change their food and water regularly throughout the day. I walk and play with them and love some good cuddles.
“Becca was very sweet and attentive to our babies needs! She kept us updated with daily pictures and messages about how they were doing. Will definitely continue hiring her in the near future!”

“Marigold took excellent care of our pets and our home while we were away. Both pets clearly adored her and we had such peace of mind knowing they were having a nice time and staying in their routine. We received tons of photos - with every update it was clear that the pets were happy! We wouldn’t hesitate to call Marigold again.”

Anthony is amazing!! We had a sitter cancel last minute and reached out to Anthony. He responded right away and was happy to watch our energetic pitbull for a week despite the very short notice. He sent us lots of pics throughout the week and we were able to enjoy our vacay knowing our pup was being well taken care of. We came home to a clean house and happy pup!

Having to choose a random person on-line to stay in the sanctity of your home and treat your animals like family is on the list of “most difficult decisions.” We moved here from out of State and don’t know anyone. We have had to start from scratch in every aspect of life. Finding the right “fit” was a massive stress and undertaking. Word of mouth didn’t apply just moving here. We relied on Rover and we found an Angel. Not to be corny, but to those whose critters are their EVERYTHING- Angel 😇 is our best description. Ryan stayed at our home for ten days. He was gracious enough to come by my home three times before the actual “job” to make friends with my neurotic Pomeranian. So when he did come to stay, it wouldn’t be such a shock to her little mind. Ryan is kind, and a gentleman. I could totally tell he has been around all sorts of dog personalities as he spoke to Peanut on her level. He fulfilled everything asked of him, with no hesitation. I have never been so pleased and so content with a petsitter in my 50 odd years of life. I’ve gone from stressing out about finding a petsitter to stressing out that Ryan retires! To our family, he is irreplaceable. We will use Ryan in the future for everything . Now that we can have a life again and can actually go places together and the places don’t have to be “dog friendly!” Finding the best petsitter is absolutely priceless. Thank you Ryan, I have a new peace in my heart ❤️

Emily has got it all together. Rover is lucky to employ her. She did terrific with our 4 yr old Golden Retriever so much so I think he was sad to see us come in and not Emily. We have very shy cats and everyday she did her best to become friends with them.We would not hesitate to use Emily again!
DeAndria was absolutely amazing to our pups! One of our dogs requires a lot of attention & patience and she met his needs flawlessly. They got lots of love, snuggles, and walks! She sent us photos every day too which was much appreciated. We will absolutely book with her again!

Keely was amazing! She was incredibly communicative and so helpful! Our boy tore a nail while we were gone during Christmas and Keely let us know immediately and helped us coordinate and get him to the vet. It was seamless and we rested easy knowing our dog was good hands. We would be so happy to hire her again!

Jackie was a great communicator when it came to any concerns I had. I appreciated the photos I got of my dog every day and the fact that she stayed with her overnight. Jackie followed my directions when it came to walking and feeding which I appreciated. Thanks girl!

Rachel was awesome! We contacted her with very short notice and she was so kind and accommodating to meet our schedule! She was also incredible with our big girl! She was extremely communicative and let us know when medicine was given and sent a lot of cute videos and pictures. Elwood felt comfortable with her instantly and it was such a piece of mind to have Rachel stay with us. It would be a pleasure to have Rachael dog sit for us again!
