“Incredible! Jen was so great with our little guy and we could tell he had a great time! She provided us with a lot of peace of mind and worked with us when we ended our trip early for the winter storm. Thanks Jen!”
About: Walks.Play.Snuggle.Repeat. I've had dogs and cats my whole life and treat them with the love and care I would any family member. My early work experience was in vet clinics and animal rescues. I'm a proud mama to 2 small, well socialized, friendly dogs and 3 cats . All of the animals are great with new dog friends. We would love to give you some peace of mind that your fur baby is well taken care of while you are away. I work from home and the dogs have beds and toys in my office and all over my large house. We are located in Clarksville, just off the I 65 Eastern Blvd exit. I live on a double lot with a huge, fully fenced yard. Small dogs have doggie door access to come in and out as they please. Bigger dogs will be regularly let out for supervised play and potty breaks in the yard. All have a lovely sunroom to sit and watch the birds and squirrels that frequent my feeders. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs and cats dietary needs, medication administration. Looking forward to being your dog's home away from home! I work from home on a flexible schedule so I am able to check on and interact with the dogs frequently. They will be supervised during outside play.

“Sarah was wonderful with Missy and sent pictures to let me know how she was doing. My sweet Missy came home worn out which lets me know she had fun. Thank you, Sarah!!!”
“Crystal was extremely accommodating to take my Dahlia in for a week after a last minute change of plans. She sent updates and pictures every day and is always extremely communicative. Would rebook with her in a heartbeat!”
“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!”
About: I worked in an overnight pet facility called Pet Station Country Club for close to a year as a part of the overnight team. From around 7pm to 6am I would have personal watch of dozens of pets including cats and dogs, and was in charge of giving them medications and potty breaks. I am also Pet Tech CPR and First Aid certified, so I can give medical attention to your pet in an emergency. I have grown up around all kinds of cats, dogs, rabbits and chickens, and love pets! I am a full time student undergoing my junior year at University of Louisville, but am free multiple times during the day to check in on pets as I live within 5 minutes of campus. My evenings are free, and I have no prior commitments. The townhome I stay in has a fenced in yard and is incredibly close to University's campus, meaning it is a safe environment for walks and care.
“Rachael has boarded my senior GSD several times. Whether it be a surgery I had or a vacationI I know I can count on Rachael to take care of my friend. I have no worries. Thanks Rachael B.”
“Shunita is amazing! Roady absolutely loved her the moment he saw her. She took plenty of pictures and videos and sent me plenty of updates while he was there. She will most definitely be my dog sitter from this point!”
“Alexis and Daniel responded promptly when I needed last minute care. They were very attentive and asked questions to help better care for her. They sent videos of her playing during her stay. I picked her up, she was happy, and I can tell she enjoyed her adventure!”
“We were more than happy with our experience for boarding. You can tell George and Erin really loved on our pets from the pictures we recieved. We didn't feel worried at anytime, which helped us to enjoy our trip even more. I will use them again and definitely recommend.”
“Ami was amazing. She sent so many pictures of Wagner having a good time. She communicated frequently and i felt so comfortable leaving him with her. He loved being there.”
“Sharon is absolutely amazing! My boy is a very anxious boy and has severe separation anxiety. Sharon had him so comfortable and settled almost immediately. I am so grateful to her for the care and love she gave Salem while I was out of the country for two weeks. Sharon provided me multiple daily updates complete with adorable videos of Salem. Her dog, Wes, was the perfect buddy for Salem too! Her fenced-in yard is fantastic for doggies to sniff and play in. I was so nervous to leave my boy for so long, but having Sharon as his sitter truly made all my worries disappear. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when I had a flight delay. I cannot recommend Sharon (and Wesley!) enough!!”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
About: I am a HUGE animal lover! I just graduated from UK with a major in animal science and a minor in biology. I worked at a vet clinic for 5 years as a vet tech, so I am skilled when it comes to animal handling/medication administration. I have owned pets my entire life. Life would not be the same without them! Caring for and loving on animals is truly my passion and what most of my life consists of. I would love to care for your fur babies, too! I work a full time job in Lexington, but it is a flexible job, and I am also able to work remotely, so I will be able to walk dogs/feed them/let them out to go potty/etc :) I treat them just like my own! I love pet sitting for people and being able to love on their fur babies. I am an active person, so I guarantee your pets will get plenty of exercise with me I am a recent college graduate with a flexible job, which is perfect for watching your babies/taking them for walks/or anything else you may need during weekdays/weekends/holidays! When pet sitting, I treat your pets like my own :) that means plenty of cuddles, ear scratches, belly rubs, treats, baby talking, and anything else the pet may need to put them at ease and ensure they have a good time while you’re gone! I do petsitting full time, so I’ll be able to spend the majority of the days with your pet to give them plenty of attention while you’re gone! I care for your pets as if they were my own! Plenty of cuddles, treats, and playtime. I will also treat your house as mine and always leave it the way I find it

Keith and family were wonderful for my Snickers! She loved playing with their dog and their hard. She made their home her home while I was away and I felt safe with her in their care. Keith kept me updated and I loved being able to schedule at such short notice. I will definitely book again. Thank you All so much
Carol, Maple, and the two cats (Raja & Nala) are great. They would send us updates with pictures, and was very accommodating to our schedule and any particular needs or care. All animals are well trained and do great with other animals in her home. The backyard she has is a plus for a quick potty break, and sunbathing. I would recommend her anytime.
Jacqueline is so awesome. She’s so easy to talk to and so accommodating. I ended up extending our booking and she had no problem with it. She sent me lots of pictures of Monty and kept me up to date on how he was doing. She is a true pet lover! I will 100% book with her again :)

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Louisville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 474 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Louisville. About 94% 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.
