“Jaclyn is so kind and welcoming! This was our first time leaving our pug Rosie during a family vacation. Jaclyn updated us and sent pictures/videos which relieved our anxieties and allowed us to have a nice time away. Jaclyn is very attentive and I did not worry at all knowing Rosie was in great hands. I highly recommend Jaclyn. She is wonderful and I’m so happy I found her. I will absolutely have Rosie stay with her again during our next vacation.”
“Nicole was amazing! She has 3 well behaved beautiful dogs that got to play and distract Midas while we were gone. She also has some extra little hand that I am sure gave our dog so much love while we were gone! We got pictures daily! We were so happy that he was so well taken care of we would request Nicole anytime we are out of town. Highly recommend”
“Bethany took such great care of my pup, Lucy. Lucy lost her eyesight fairly recently and Bethany made sure Lucy was safe and loved during her stay. We will be using Bethany again!”
“Cheryl is amazing! I was traveling from out of town and my dog can be slow to warm up but Cheryl made it very comforting and is great at communicating. She has two dogs who are fun sweeties! I would highly recommend and even return again. She’s is a dog person and makes her own dog treats, very caring pet owner/caretaker!”
“Ashlee was great! My dog had a wonderful time with her, and it gave me such peace of mind while I was out of town. She was also really flexible with pick up time. My drive back got delayed and she was so nice about it. Would definitely book her again!”
“Chelsea’s family took amazing care of my dog for the second time, and I couldn’t be happier with their care. They genuinely welcome and embrace my big guy’s chaotic energy, and it’s such a gift knowing he’s safe, happy, and so loved while he’s with them. I’m incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful family to care for him!”
“Robert was great as always! Millie was excited soon as we turned into his neighborhood! She settled in, and seems like they had a great weekend together! She gets runs, walks, lots of outside time, and plenty of pets and love!”
“The absolute best! Danielle kept us updated everyday while we were away, sent us pictures, and was flexible when our flight arrived late at night. Safe to say, Danielle will be our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Nathaniel and his team took great care of our boys. They kept in touch with us and sent pictures of them being lazy on the couch. They got a special treat by being able to run and play off leash in their back yard! We will definitely be using Nathaniel again for sure!”
“Kathi was amazing w Tito and kept updating us throughout his stay. He appeared really happy and had fun w Kathi’s dogs and other guests. I appreciate Kathi’s experience and knowledge with animals. Thank you Kathi!! I highly recommend her.”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful. She and her family invited my pup into their home and treated him like he was one of their own. She kept me up to date on how he was doing, sent lots of pictures, spoiled him with treats, and allowed him to get comfortable in her home. I’ll absolutely have Sarah watch my pup again when I need a sitter.”
“Very happy with the communication and picture updates. Kristen kept my concerns checked before I even expressed them. I also sincerely appreciate the flexibility of drop-off and pick-up by another party. Will gladly use again next time!”
About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was in jr high school. I currently have 1 dog 3 fish, and 2 humans I keep alive! I'm patient, I have lots of energy but also like to chill if that's what your pup would prefer! I've recently made some major lifestyle changes to make myself more flexible and accessible for my family! This gives me the chance to be available about anytime of day. I would love to meet you and your pets! At this point my calendar is fairly open, I am flexible and willing to work with moving and changing schedules. Most of my day involves school pick up and off and being a taxi to evening dance classes, which is easily done with or around the schedule of an extra furry friend or 2. We have 1 Brittany. She she has full use of all upstairs furniture, a fully enclosed backyard and probably too many snacks! They are happy to welcome new friends to sit on their sofas!
“Super friendly, beautiful home on top of it all has frenchies. So very knowledgeable about this type of breed. Next vacation I will be using her. Was updated everyday about my Berkie and didn’t have to worry about my fur baby, thank you so much”
“Katrina and Kevin took such great care of our dog. She was spoiled with walks, car rides, trips to the park and even a pup cup from Starbucks! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“The best! Traveling is so much easier knowing that our dog is in such good hands! She gets plenty of love and attention while we are gone and we get plenty of updates to let us know how she is doing. Can’t recommend enough!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
I had never boarded my dog before, so I was pretty nervous about leaving him with someone new. When I met Samantha, though, I knew he was in great hands and immediately felt at ease. He stayed with her for six days, and every single day she sent updates with pictures and little highlights of everything they had done together. It meant so much to know he was not only getting plenty of exercise, but also so much love and attention. It was obvious she cared for him like he was her own, and I couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. I would trust Samantha with Ollie again in a heartbeat!
My dog, Nala, stayed with Samantha for one night, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Samantha was excellent at communicating and kept me updated throughout Nala’s stay with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. This was my first time boarding my dog and Samantha made the entire process easy and stress free. Nala came home happy and completely exhausted from all the playtime she received. I would absolutely book with Samantha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring reliable dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Louisville home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Louisville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Louisville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 NE 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
