“While Olivia was very glad to be home, I know that she was well taken care of while I was gone. Doug followed the feeding instructions that I gave him and I hear that she had plenty of walking. I hope he is available for future occasions when I am gone. I have already tipped him on pick-up.”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“Savanna kept my puppy for a week while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job keeping me posted with pictures. She was also flexible and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her.”
“We are so thankful that Sherrie is available to let Piper come into her home when we need to go away. Piper is always relaxed and happy when we pick her up so we know that she has been cared for and loved while we are gone.”
About: I have had pets my whole life of all shapes and sizes and I am currently a stay at home mom who is available everyday! I have to kiddos and a cat who are all familiar with dogs and other cats so they are gentle and enthusiastic to play. My background is caretaking for my family, cooking, cleaning, and I even worked at an animal shelter. Your pets would get my undivided attention, all of their needs met and more when they spend time with me! Pet care is something that comes automatic for me along with caring for my children. Everyone gets what they need before anything else is done for the day! I love taking them for walks throughout the day and I live near a park so I am always trying to spend time outside. When we are lounging inside we enjoy playing all together and hanging out in the living room. Pets that come into my home are treated like family here. I am available for boarding and day sitting so when your pets come here they will have a place to come and socialize and play all day and night. I am always home so they will always be supervised and I can give you plenty of updates on how their time with us is going. If your pet needs medications or special care that is something that I am more than comfortable with, anything to help them feel more at home with me!
“Thank you Kristin. You were awesome and did a great job with my pup. Sent me pics and kept me updated. I would recommend you to anyone needing someone to care for their fur baby🐕💙”
“We loved Vicki and her husband and so did Rudy! He ran off with her as soon as we got there and that was enough to put me at ease. He had a wonderful time and they treated him as their own. She sent pics during his stay and was in touch often, which I appreciated so much! Her home is lovely and we will 100% be bringing Rudy back for future stays! :)”
“Anita was so wonderful with latke and very accommodating. I needed to change my drop off time and date and Anita was super flexible. I got daily updates and pictures. I would highly recommend Anita!”
About: I have shown dogs in the confirmation room. For over 20 years. I have shown dogs to the point that they'd have become champions. I've had one dog invited to Westminster. I'm familiar with grooming dogs for show. But I am now retired from all those things. But I still retain my skills. Not to toot my own horn, but I have had 1 dog invited to West Minister. I am a retired school teacher. So I am usually very flexible. With my animals. Currently my. Project is working with. A new toy poodle I got. Training him. In obedience. I have one puppy, toy Poodle. I currently have 4 cats that have rescued. My puppy is doing well. I have had him for a year still working at potty training. In the evening. I usually spend time watching TV with Tallow (puppy). Socialize, socialize socialize! Working with my poodles hair while watching TV also provides bonding time and patience for you and your puppy.
About: With over 25 years of experience caring for and loving dogs, I understand that every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, drop-in visit, doggie daycare, boarding, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, giving you added peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care. I also have experience administering medications, providing basic training reinforcement, and caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Communication is very important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your pet’s stay so you always know how they’re doing. My home features a secure fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, explore, and relax. Located on a quiet dead-end road, it’s a peaceful and safe environment where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. If your pet is happiest in their own surroundings, I’m also happy to provide care in your home. Maintaining your dog’s normal routine helps reduce stress and separation anxiety while giving you peace of mind that they’re receiving the same love and attention they get every day. Your pets aren’t just clients—they’re family, and they’ll always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I’d give my own. I am currently working from home and my availability is very flexible. I can assure that your furbaby (s) is in the best hands and I prioritize their needs above my own I have a fenced in yard with shelter and water. I live on a dead end road so very quiet and safe. Your furbabies will have fun running and playing outdoors and indoors! If you would rather me come to your home, I’m familiar with taking care of other dogs in the safety of their current environment including over night stays!
“This was Tilly's second stay with Isabel. Judging from the photos we received, she had again a wonderful time playing with Isabel's dog. Glad to have found such a wonderful dog sitter!”
“I simply cannot say enough good things about the experience of having Connie and Greg watch Carter for me while I was away. I have booked with Connie several times in the past and I will continue to book with her in the future. It is a relief to know that Carter is the best hands when Connie is watching him. While I always miss my fur baby when I'm not there, I never have to worry about him getting the care and attention he needs. My dog has a sensitive stomach and very strict diet limitations. Connie's attention to detail while adhering to his restrictions is so appreciated. Connie maintains constant communication with text messages and pictures so that you know your pet is doing well! Leaving our pets while away is stressful, but I assure you, you have nothing to worry about when you choose Connie. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Jon was great! He responded quickly to my questions and was great with our dog Emmett. He made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. He treated Emmett as one of his own while he was in his care. Will most def. Be using them again!”
“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Louisville is $42
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
Deb was AMAZING with Bear and Cooper. Bear is a puppy with tons of border collie energy. Cooper is an old soul who loves sleeping in the sunbeams most of the day. Deb was able to cater to each of my dogs needs. Deb took it upon herself to research how to keep Bear occupied with brain games and challenging puzzles. She even took them to the dog park!! She sent photos every day and kept me up to date on their daily activities. I am so glad I found Deb, instead of taking my fur babies to a kennel. They were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. This was the first time I have ever left my dogs with a private sitter! Deb was more than I could have ever hoped for and will definitely be calling her again.
Melissa loves what she does and it is apparent. Loki was loved and well maintained while he was in her care. There is a spacious fenced-in yard for him to get out and play in. She treats each clients pet like her own. We received a daily video to give us our updates which were wonderful to watch. We have found the perfect place to board Loki and will take him there again.
Our dog settled right in at Savannah’s home and fell in love with the family. We received picture updates during her stay, and Savannah was great to communicate with. She was very accommodating and flexible as needed. I would use her services again and happily recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Louisville is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 284 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Louisville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 OH 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.
