About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (dog and epileptic kitten), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! I am available most weekends. I also work from home often, which provides me more flexibility. However, days I am in the office, I am available mornings, lunch time, and evenings. I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of affection. I follow routines, administer medications if needed, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have an epileptic kitten, so am no stranger to anything pet related.
About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty and get exercise. I love cuddling and making sure they feel special!
About: I have cared for dogs personally for the majority of my life. I also gained professional experience working at a doggie daycare where I got to play and cuddle with a variety of dogs! At the doggie daycare, I learned some helpful methods on how to handle and evaluate a dog’s temperament for a group setting. I’m currently working part-time and am available on the weekends from 12 pm till 11 pm! Due to having classes during the week, my best time to work is the weekends. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and live just down the hill from a dog park. My roommate also has a dog to keep yours company!
“Thomas was wonderful with our doggo! He sent plenty of updates, videos, and pictures. Our dog looked extremely happy! Thomas had great communication and was amazing all around. He helped us so much to avoid having to board our dog while on vacation. Our dog had an accident before one of Thomas visit and he was kind enough to clean it up and offer to run the carpet cleaner. Thomas is 10/10!”

I killed my cactus in about 3 days 😐 If you have plants to care for I will water them and make sure they get enough sunlight, but that hasn't worked so far, but I will do my best! I have certian availability and reliable transportation, as well as a love and passion for animal care. I am willing to travel to meet you and your fur baby.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Louisville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
