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.
“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”
“Daphne was wonderful! She took Lola as a last minute booking and we couldn't be happier! We received daily picture updates. Lola was treated like a little princess with lots of love! 🩷 Highly recommend Daphne!”
“I can’t say enough good things about these folks. To start, they spent an hour with me and Benny (my pup) in advance of my trip and introduced us to their place. Benny loved the big backyard and I could tell he immediately felt at home. During my trip, I received daily videos of Benny playing with other dogs or being loved on, which made me feel good knowing I was so far away from home. Benny is such a good dog and I am grateful to have connected with people as equally good and loving. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
“Rachael was amazing! We were very apprehensive about going on vacation and leaving our dog, Bentley, because he was just diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago and requires not only insulin injections, but also eye drops. Rachael put us at ease as soon as we met her. She sent pictures daily and it was obvious Bentley thoroughly enjoyed himself! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!”
“Absolutely the best. I was nervous about leaving my dog with anyone but family...but his energy is too much for my elderly parents. I lined up a couple of kennels, but was really looking for that loving family type atmosphere. We found it with Lori! She was patient with my indecisiveness and even allowed a play date in advance of his overnight boarding. He loves her, her dogs, her family, and has made great friends with the other dogs in her care. Photos and videos were sent to us throughout his stay making me feel even more at ease and happy with our decision. Can't recommend and thank her enough!!”
“Breanna is the best sitter! She always goes above and beyond for Bella. I can drop her off with Breanna know without a doubt that bella is not only in the best hands, but she is going to have a great vacation. If you are looking for a sitter that treats your fur baby like her own Breanna is the one!”
“Bill was amazing watching our hound, who can be anxious. He had great communication and sent plenty of pics throughout her stay. She seemed very relaxed when we picked her up! Will be using his services again.”
“Riley had a great time and Mariah did a great job of keeping me updated with information and pictures and videos. I felt safe and secure leaving him there, knowing that he would be well cared for, and he was! Would absolutely recommend and use again.”
“Carol was great! Can't thank her enough. Knew my pup was in good hands after receiving pictures everyday with my dog having a big smile on her face! Definitely recommend and will be reaching out again for any future sitting!”
“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”
“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!”
“My Wilson was wonderfully taken care of by Sarah and her family, and their two pups were great with him, as was Butcher the pig. I will ask Sarah if she’ll be able to board Wilson again next time I have to go out of town.”
“Crystal was very trustworthy. She let me know how my dog Hollow was interacting on a daily basis. I felt that Hollow was in a very safe environment and I will use Crystal in the future and I’m sure Hollow would agree if he could talk. Thanks for allowing us to feel assured while we were on our vacation”
“Ami was the best! She was so loving to our dog Scruffy. She sent updates and pictures daily. Scruffy was well cared for and I’m sure sad to leave her. Highly recommend Ami and would definitely have her watch him again.”
“Emily is extremely caring in particular with very senior dogs. She did an amazing job taking good care of my 15 1/2 year old Shih Tzu. He had a medical issue and she notified me and my vet immediately”
“Stephen and Angela were absolutely amazing! They were very responsive and kept us informed on how our fur baby was doing throughout the entirety of his stay. It was evident Kobe felt right at home with them and we look forward to booking with them again for all future dog boarding needs.”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”
The median cost per night for pet 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 😊
We were about a week away from a short weekend trip and found out our normal sitter would not be available. Cody was quick to respond to my request. He sent pics and updates during the visit. I'm sure Ziggy had a great time because after we got home in the early afternoon, he slept mostly nonstop until this morning. Will definitely use Cody again.
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.
Wow! Such a great experience with Jacqueline! My puppy Dewey loved his experience and I was so impressed with the great care that was provided! It is obvious that Jacqueline is truly a great dog person and the communication was top notch! Loved all the great pictures and feedback! Highly recommend!
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 Pet Boarding in Louisville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 481 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Louisville. About 92% of Louisville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
