“Melissa was fantastic. Easy to communicate the booking process with, sent me updates over video and text throughout the weekend and even accommodated my Hershey girl who can be difficult with other dogs. I will absolutely be returning to Melissa in the future.”
“It was the first time I left Kayla with anyone. On our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with Patti and knew she would take good care of my girl. Patti took excellent care of her. I booked with her because she only takes one pet at a time and she had a fenced in backyard. Patti sent me photos of Kayla fetching her ball which is her most favorite thing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Doug was so thoughtful and kind with Milo — he truly enjoyed his stay at Doug’s home. I highly recommend him with my eyes closed! Very friendly and attentive, he always kept me updated about my puppy. Always willing to walk him and take care of him — thank you!!! Without a doubt, I’ll be reaching out again to leave my furry one with him!”
“Savannah was great! She welcomed Charlie with open arms and an open heart! Couldn't have asked for a better caretaker! Five stars just doesn't do her justice...should be ten stars! Thank you Savannah and family! Kathryn and Milt”
“Melissa was amazing! I was nervous to leave my dog I’ve never left her with a stranger before and as soon as I met her I know it would be good. She gave me daily updates and pics which I loved and felt at ease on my vacation. Will def be booking her again if needed!🩷”
“Skye had a great weekend with Gail. It was her first time staying at a strangers house and Gail did a great job welcoming her. Gail was patient with her as it takes Skye a little while to warm up. Gail sent us pictures each day and was quick to respond when we had a question. We will definitely use her again in the future for Skye.”
“As usual we very much appreciate Nathan and Jenna and their approach to watching our dog. She is part of the family and returns home happy. Their communication is excellent and responsiveness with a regular cadence of updates on how she is doing.”
“Athena is so kind and so compassionate, my dogs loved their time wither her & her family. They loved their new friend Rufus❤️ communication was outstanding, lots of pictures. It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”
“Debbie was very good with Rocket! We met ahead of time so he could meet her and her dog Oscar and I could tell he’d be in good hands. She sent lots of pictures of him and kept us updated on what they were up to (playing, going to the park, on walks…). SO much better than a kennel/pet lodge where he’d have spent 90% of the time alone in a room.”
“Rikki was amazing with Boise. We really appreciate that she was able to get us in last minute! Boise had such a great time, we’ll definitely be using her again! Thanks Riki”
“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.”
“Theresa and her husband took such great care of our Niah on a last minute request. Niah hasn't stayed with too many strangers but Theresa and her husband did such a great job making her feel comfortable and making sure she adjusted and keeping me updated! I would highly recommend them for your fur babies!!!”
“We felt like we were leaving our pups with a friend. When you take your pups even to the best boarding spas they can never get the the attention and care our pups received and you would have to pay extra. Viki has lots room inside and out for them to run around and play. She will keep you updated as often as you like. We will definitely be using Viki again. Thank you!!”
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!
“Aricka was so wonderful with our lazy old lady of a dog, and we got tons of updates and photos -- it was a huge relief while we were away that our dog was in great hands. Thanks so much!”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“Kristin was great and provided Abby with a safe, family environment with lots of stimulation. It's harder with a puppy who is just learning about life (and where to poo/pee!) and this was an unscheduled trip for me, but Kristin came through. Thanks, Kristin!”
“Hayley did a great job taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. Not only was she great with my pet, but also did an amazing job communicating with me especially being flexible when I needed some help. I would love her to take care of my dog again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
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.
Deborah was absolutely amazing with our Cavapoo, Scout! From the moment we left, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. She sent regular pictures and videos, took him on walks, and even took him to the dog park so he could play and stay active. What meant the most was how genuinely cared for and loved Scout was while we were away. It truly felt like she treated him like her own. Coming home to a happy, relaxed puppy says everything. I would highly recommend Deborah to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. We will definitely be using her 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 for Dog Boarding in Louisville on Rover is $49.95 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 282 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Louisville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Louisville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Louisville home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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 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.
