About: I have watched cats and dogs (including puppies) for years! I have two special needs cats and a senior special needs dog. I have so much patience and love for animals and have managed to transform the lives of my 3 pets mentioned above simply through giving them the space they need, the love they need, and the attention they ask for. I work in animal care and have animals at home to care for as well, so caring for other's animals fits into place around my work schedule. I am able to do drop-ins before 9:00am and after 6:00pm (5:00pm on weekends). I care for pets in their home and do my best to mind people's privacy and focus on the pet. My visits include food and water refreshes, scooping litter as needed, and lots of cuddles and playtime. I will always send pictures and updates about our visits.
“Bayley took great care of our big boy goldendoodle! She provided frequent updates while we were away and was extremely responsive. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Jenna watched our two giant dogs for a quick trip. She sent photo and video updates, letting us know how they were doing. It went great and I’ll definitely be rebooking next time!”

“I am so glad Donai was in town and able to sit for Leo on such short notice. I had Donai sit before Rover and did an amazing job, Leo loves Donai and I was updated with pictures during the visits. I give 5 stars for sure! Highly recommended ❤️”

“Alan has natural report with dogs and we recognized that he was trustworthy and caring in an instant. He did a great job with our dog and elderly cat over night.”

About: I have years of experience providing reliable and passionate pet care for all ages and sizes. I am also experienced in puppy training, senior care, and providing medication if needed. I take the utmost care to ensure that your pup's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I work from home so I am flexible in that regard. I can take my work around any space if needed and work around your schedule. I clean up after pets thoroughly as well as provide them with lots of potty breaks and exercise. I never have them meet new dogs for their safety.
“Becca was very sweet and attentive to our babies needs! She kept us updated with daily pictures and messages about how they were doing. Will definitely continue hiring her in the near future!”

“Emm was an absolute delight to have watching our dogs! We know that our pups can be a bit of a handful with their energy levels, but Emm handled their enthusiasm and food aggression problems with aplomb. Everything had been cleaned and washed when we got home, which was very appreciated, and the dogs were clearly happy and well cared for, which is the most important thing to me.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and ages for several years. Most recently, I provided long term care for an elderly dog with high anxiety. She required extra patience and special care— two things that I would be able to provide your animal as well! I am available before or after work on weekdays for drop-in visits or walks. I am available full-time on weekends for the same two services. I offer updates to pet owners after every drop-in visit or walk. I prioritize safety and wellness with constant supervision and being mindful of my surroundings.
“Willow was great with our greyhounds. We booked Willow to watch our pets for the day while we were out for an extended period of time. He was flexible with arrival /departure times, attentive to instructions and his calm demeanor was exactly what our two needed. We will be calling on Willow in the future to watch them again when the need arises.”

“Gabrielle was great! Very responsive, left the house clean and tidy. My dog looks well cared for and loved while I was away. Appreciate everything! Will use her help again!”


“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”

“Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve loved dogs (and cats) since I can remember! I’ve taken care of dogs for about 3 years now, whether that be family, friends, and/or neighbors pets. I am a full time student at the University of Louisville but will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available during the week and some weekends. I keep my eyes on your fur baby at all times to ensure they’re not getting into any trouble and are safe. Will follow all instructions regarding your fur baby.
“She was able to help me out at the last minute with my pit Bull mix Dora when I had to work on the weekend, which was just a bad vacation. She sent me plenty of updates and photos, which was obviously very helpful. Dora was in good hands and she was able to also handle some things I had forgotten to do at home. She’s highly demanded on the app, so I can only hope that she will accept our request for help in the future! Thanks AnaMarie”

About: I grew up with pets and have cared for a variety of animals for friends and neighbors, including dogs with specialized dietary needs. I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m patient and attentive with every animal in my care. I’m a graduate student with a flexible schedule, especially over the summer. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and giving animals the attention they deserve When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to learn their routine, dietary needs, and any safety considerations before the visit. I’ll always ask for emergency contacts and vet information, and I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I have experience with both dogs and cats. Since I was born my family has always have animals, including cats and dogs. I love animals and enjoy taking care of them. I have taken care of small and large dogs. The dogs have ranged from wide ages also. I have a car and can easily take them to the vet if an emergency happened. I love walking and hiking and do not mind taking care of a dog that wants to walk a lot. I do not mind staying overnight to keep an eye on the animals. My dogs have recently died and would enjoy to spend more time with dogs. I spend a lot of time volunteering at the humane society. Please consider me.
“Lauran is an absolute dream of a companion, house sitter, fur baby manager and lover, and just overall great human. Lauran was thoughtful, responsive and responsible in every way. From sharing pics of our Simon and Molly with us, to asking questions of us as needed, to her bubbly and positive personality, to her attention to detail, she will be our go to person every time we need someone who we trust to spend time at our home and with our pups. We came home to a house nice Ethan we left it a two dogs that were clearly well taken care of while we weee away. Thank you Lauran for being such a great Rover sitter! Thank you Lauran for giving us such peace found and comfort as we traveled.”

“Katie was a great dog and house sitter for us for 15 days while we were out of the country. She has an innate way with animals and our Nova took to her right away. From the meet and greet until we were home, I never worried about Nova's wellbeing. I was able to leave everything in Katie's capable hands. She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out to her, both before and during our trip. I highly recommend her and will use her again myself.”
Old Louisville pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Katie and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, her communication was prompt and reassuring — exactly what you need when leaving your pup with someone new. Camo clearly had a wonderful time; you could just tell he was comfortable and well cared for. What really set Katie apart was coming home to a clean house with fresh sheets — she didn’t just watch Camo, she treated my home with total respect. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and it means everything. She was reliable, punctual, and went above and beyond in every way. I will absolutely be booking Katie again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust. 🐾

Brooke was so wonderful with our two dogs!!! It was such a relief to find someone to take care of both our dogs while all my family was out of town. She did great giving one dog medicine and with making food for a picky dog. Also our house was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Brooke and I will be using her again.

Ryo stayed at our home and watched our Pit Bull for the weekend and was wonderful! Great communication, sent us lots of photos, followed all our instructions and we came home to a clean house and happy pup. Very grateful to have found him and will def work with him again in the future!

Montana was fantastic! We were so nervous as we had never left our babies before. I wrote way too many notes and she read and followed them all and took amazing care of all of our puppies. They absolutely loved her and I couldn’t have been happier 🩷🩷 Thank you for taking such good care of our babies 🩷🐺🐾

Anthony is amazing!! We had a sitter cancel last minute and reached out to Anthony. He responded right away and was happy to watch our energetic pitbull for a week despite the very short notice. He sent us lots of pics throughout the week and we were able to enjoy our vacay knowing our pup was being well taken care of. We came home to a clean house and happy pup!

DeAndria was absolutely amazing to our pups! One of our dogs requires a lot of attention & patience and she met his needs flawlessly. They got lots of love, snuggles, and walks! She sent us photos every day too which was much appreciated. We will absolutely book with her again!

Keely was amazing! She was incredibly communicative and so helpful! Our boy tore a nail while we were gone during Christmas and Keely let us know immediately and helped us coordinate and get him to the vet. It was seamless and we rested easy knowing our dog was good hands. We would be so happy to hire her again!
