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
“Excellent communication and care, I could easily tell that my cat was happy and taken care of very well. No issues with anything, and she was very professional and helpful!”
“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!”
“Great communication and I have used Cassandra's services many times. Very flexible as well. There are always pictures of our dog and updates on how she's doing. Thanks and I will be coming back if we need her services again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Veronica was very loving and playful with my cat while I was away! She took lots of pictures and fed her and was able to be there to give lots of pets and quality time. Timing of scheduled drop ins was the only issue but otherwise perfection!”
“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: 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 have been around dogs my whole life, long before my family ever adopted our own. We rescued our first dog when I was 7 and loved him up through his grey fur and blindness. I pride myself on understanding animals needs and boundaries. I am currently between projects at my main job and am looking for a way to fill the time. I am available most of the day, every day I will always leave a space better than a found it, no waste left behind. Animals will always be put first when under my care.
“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.”
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up with all different kinds of animals and have petsitting experience taking care of cats and dogs. I love spending time with animals and the joy they bring! At this time, my schedule is mostly open and I am accepting new clients. I am available during the week and weekends as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I have 2 dogs myself, a pit mix and beagle. They are truly the beat companions. I can do drop-in visits, doggy daycare (can be customized to your dog’s needs / wants), overnight boarding in our home, and dog walks!
“Cody and Rachel saved my sanity! My usual Rover got sick and I contacted them at the last minute to cover. They did an excellent job!! It was comforting knowing that my fur babies were safe while I was out of town. Thank you! Thank you!”
About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a year with a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (two labs and a tabby cat!), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! 🐾🫶🏼 Between classes and work, Tuesdays, and weekends work best for me! Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I am pretty busy, but am able to do early mornings and evenings those days! 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.
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.
“Brandi was amazing!!! She was very professional and she did a great job communicating. Brandi was extremely kind and flexible with my schedule. I really appreciated how caring she was with Scout. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would be delighted to have her be Scouts sitter again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
Lauren was very responsive and punctual! She did a wonderful job taking care of my pup Tucker while I was gone for two days and made sure to go beyond just walking/feeding him but also spent time playing with him and bonding. I loved receiving updates while I was gone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Louisville on Rover is $19.51 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,200 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Louisville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
