“Maxi had a great time with Breanna and her dog Nala! Breanna kept us informed, sending us lots of photos and videos, she took Maxi for walks and played fetch a lot with him! We’ll definitely recommend Breanna!”
“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!!”
“Madison was amazing with our dog. She sent us lots of updates and photos to let us know how he was doing while we were away. We can’t wait for her to watch our sweet boy again.”
“Emily was great!! Judson has some anxiety with new people, storms and doesn’t like when he’s away from us, but I think he did really well with Emily! She’s worked with many different dogs and really knows what they need and it shows. Will definitely want to rebook her in the future!!”
About: I set my own schedule at work, so I am able to be flexible for quick pop-ins or long walks to care for the needs of your dog. I love to run, so if you have a high-energy dog, consider physical and mental exhaustion a check for the day. Currently, my favorite walking paths are around Cherokee Park and Senaca Park! Mornings before 10 am and evenings at 8 are ideal! I usually work between 11-7 Monday-Thursdays, but often have gaps in my schedule. Fridays and Saturdays are very flexible! I take physical exercise and playtime with the utmost seriousness. Mealtimes are consistent and treats are a must! If I am in a dog’s home, they will feel loved and prioritized.
“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.”
“Kaitlin was great! Very quick to respond, very flexible. It was our first time with Rover and first time leaving our dog with someone he didn't know and she did a great job answering all of our questions and putting us at ease and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out!”
“Shunita was amazing!! It was a last minute booking and she was very helpful and informative! Communication was great & I got videos daily, will definitely be using her again !!!”
About: Hello! I love looking after family and friend’s pets and would love the chance to do it more often. I’m responsible and caring and I will take very good care of your pets. Hi! I’m a flight attendant on reserve, which basically means I’m on call. So I’ll know a head of time the days I’m off for the following month. The days I’m call, I’ll usually be at home waiting around, so I’ll still be free to do pop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. I will walk them frequently. I will also make sure they are well taken care of and loved until they are back with you.
“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!”
“Ami took care of my buddy like he was her own. I got so many pictures of my anxious guy looking happy and comfortable. Ami certainly has experience in helping soothe dogs, and intuitively deduced a lot about what Jake needed to settle in. I was especially impressed with how many walks he got, and how his space was respected when he would choose a sleeping spot (even when his choice was inconvenient for household members)! I can't recommend Ami highly enough, and will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Rachael took great care of our Westie! We were really nervous as our dog is only a year old and had not been around other dogs often. She is very small. We were overjoyed to see the pictures of her playing and relaxing with the other dogs. Rachael was tremendous in her communication and sent pictures daily. We will be repeat customers going forward. Highly recommended!”
“Sarah sis really great with our dogs. They came home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Sarah took they on walks and allowed them on couches and beds. We are so appreciate of her and the positive stay had by our pups! Would recommend and book again.”
“Melissa and Andrew were great sitters and sent several updates with photos during my dog’s stay. They were very friendly and accommodating to my dog and he seemed to really enjoy his time with them!”
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!
“Christina watched Dino over 4 days and 3 nights. She was very accommodating. Dino was sad to see christina go when Dino came home and they parted ways. Would recommend?”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Louisville is $40

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 July 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 488 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.
