About: I have raised two Australian Shepards myself. I have taught both of them all the basic commands myself. I am very patient and understanding. I just love being around animals as much as possible. I will give your pet plenty of attention including playing and exercising your pet. I am currently taking classes online so I am open nearly every day to take care of your pet. I am very flexible and have my own reliable vehicle to get to where I need to. I may currently be a little higher than other, but I will actually stay night and day to take care of your dogs. Not just to show up let them out and feed them In my home my pets are completely spoiled. My Aussie is always by my side including sleeping at the foot of my bed. My dog gets daily exercise. I am perfectly fine with treating your pet like my own or setting boundaries if you do not allow your pet on furniture. I also have experience with caring for horses. So I have no problem dealing with large dogs
“Cassandra did a very good job of taking care of me cat, Peaches and would use her again. She even was able to get Peaches to come out of hiding during visits which is no small accomplishment.”
“Awesome pet sitter! This is the second time I have had Ashley watch my cats and she took excellent care of them! I am so thankful to have a reliable pet sitter to watch over my babies❤️”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Gidget is a very caring and conscientious person with great communication skills. She not only took amazing care of my two cats, Bristol and Luna, but she did it during a winter storm which caused my house to lose water for two days. I had told her that my girls were extremely shy, and that she might never see them, but Gidget was determined to win them over. I was very impressed by the amount of progress she made with them in just a short period of time. When I need someone to take care of my girls in the future, Gidget will definitely be the first sitter I contact.”
“Natalie was great to work with. We had to book last minute for a trip. She was very accommodating working out our schedules. She helped us keep our working dog exercised and sent us pictures and updates! It was our 1st time booking with Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Natalie!”
“Lauren was such a kind, communicative, and flexible sitter! She gave such great updates and always sent multiple photos and videos. She even added an extra drop-in last minute. We highly recommend her and will use her again!”
“Betty provided drop in service for my pup Roxie for for 30 mins a day for 2 weeks. This was my first time utilizing Rover. Betty has such a kind, sweet spirit and you can easily tell within minutes of meeting that she loves animals! She was also flexible with activities requests that were modified due to changing weather. Roxie was thrilled to be able to play fetch in the backyard or go for walks (if/when it rained) mid day every day! Betty was very responsive and interactive by providing pics/videos during her daily visit. I will definitely contact her again when future needs arise!”
About: In addition to having dogs of various breeds for the majority of my life, I have been dogsitting for the last two years. I am also experienced with dogs of all ages and breeds as a result of working in dog daycare facilities and in grooming salons across the last three years. I also volunteer with the animal shelter in the area, so I know how important it is to meet dogs where they're at. I currently spend about one day a week volunteering with the local animal shelter, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I look forward to spending my time with your pets! I currently have two cats of my own, so I am unfortunately unable to bring any more pets into my own home. However, I am happy to enforce your pet's existing routine within the comfort of their home.
About: I am comfortable taking care of most animals. I have experience as a zookeeper, vet assistant, and kennel tech. I have over 15 years experience working with animals including exotics, puppies/kittens, elderly, special needs/care, medication. I have a passion for caring for all animals. I currently work full time and am looking to supplement my income taking care of others pet care needs. I would be available before and after my scheduled shifts and on my weekends (which is usually weekdays). I will consult with the owners about what is wanted and ask about any specific needs. I always walk dogs on leashes. And will always be respectful of their property and leave the home in the same or better condition as I arrived. I am diligent about making sure the pets are safe and the home is secured before leaving.
“Attentive, thorough, communicative, professional, and caring!!!! Bethany is a natural. She clearly loves animals and cared for our two older girls like they were her own. We’d love to have her care for them again next time we’re out of town.”
“Taylor was a delight to talk to, and showed a real love of animals. She gets my Bobby- he is the shy guy that loves to eat, but not one to hang out. She took helpful pictures and made my time away, peaceful.”
About: I have had pets all my life. Mainly dogs. I have trained some of my personal pets in the past. I also love seeing animals personalities, and learning to work with them from there. I work 8a-4p Tuesday - Friday, and some Mondays (same hours). I never work weekends or evenings. I have an hour for lunch on the days I work, so I am able to run by for a potty break if needed. I have a big fenced in backyard just waiting for your dog to come roam! I do not currently have any pets, so I do not have a cage, water bowl, leash, etc. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.
“She was very communicative and I loved her descriptions about her interactions with my cats! Even though the booking was for a couple of visits, my shy cat got closer to her and they played together! Highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs and cats of all sizes ever since I can remember. I currently have two dogs, a 90 pound lab and a 50 pound Weimaraner mix! Both love to be outside, go on walks, and cuddle up! I'd love to help you out in any way shape or form, including, but not limited to, watching your pets, walking your pets, and even letting them out on potty breaks! I work part-time, but my shifts are never longer than 6 hours. In those times, I live with my family- who is also available for our dogs. I love post-dinner walks with my doggies and spending as much time as possible outside with them. I have a 6 foot fenced in yard that's about half an acre, so plenty of space for the doggos to run around! I have two other dogs – a lab and a hound, that left to play but equally as much sleep. They love dogs of all sizes and ages and love to be with cats as well! They're not rough, but definitely high energy. My family has been missing our cat for about a year and we're dying to have another in the house!!
“Cody and Rachel are so nice and it is clear they love animals. They took great care of our cat while we were away and provided updates to let us know he was happy and healthy. We highly recommend Cody & Rachel and will definitely use them again!”
“Gretchen is communicative when caring for our cat. She sends plenty of pictures when she checks in on him. He is usually shy with strangers, but he is always giving her a kiss or playing with her in pictures! We feel confident in Gretchen’s ability and desire to keep our kitty safe while we are away.”
“Emily was wonderful with Jux! Not only was she able to take on the request last minute, but was super responsive, wanted to know precise care instructions to ensure Jux was happy, and kept me updated while I was out of town with visit updates! I am sure I will be requesting Emily again for dog sitting Jux during any future business trips, and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for an above qualified and caring new friend for their dog or cat!!!”
About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rats, taking care of all, whether it's feeding, playing, or general care. Your pets are family and are in good hands, whether it's a sleepover, walk, or playtime with me and 11 year old German Shepard Husky Mix. I work full time, sometimes in the office and sometimes at home. So during the week, depending on location, I can do lunch time walks or after work walks or play. Weekends are prime times for sleepovers and long walks/playtime. Dog sitting in my house only - dogs are part of the family and will be in the house with me and my dog. They're welcome on furniture and throughtout the house. My dog has free reign of the house during the day. If they are crate trained, feel free to bring that, otherwise their own bed so they have comfort away from home. I have a large fenced-in yard for lots of outdoor playtime. Please let me know if there are any needs when overnight or when alone in the house. I can accommodate separate sleeping areas and crating if nnecessary. Dogs must be friendly with other, specifically big dogs.
“Angela took amazing care of our cats while we were away! She was timely, very communicative, and overall went above and beyond for us. I’m looking forward to using her again in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Louisville on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 589 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Louisville. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
