About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, and ducks for family and friends when they needed someone. I’m very comfortable doing longer periods of time if needed, I love playing with animals on top of just the necessities! I’m currently working part-time and I’m able to schedule around certain times as needed. In the fall I start college again with plenty of break times! I prefer to stay where the animals are used to. I communicate constantly while I’m watching someone else animals by sending pictures, videos, and regular updates.

Our experience with Jamie on the Rover application was nothing short of exceptional, earning them a well-deserved five-star rating! Jamie's dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for our dogs were evident from the moment we connected. Communication: Jamie's communication skills were top-notch from the outset. They were prompt in responding to messages and incredibly friendly and approachable. We received regular updates, complete with adorable photos and videos of our furry friend, which reassured us that our dog was in good hands. Care and Attention: Jamie provided our dog with the utmost care and attention, treating them as if they were their own. They took the time to understand our dog's unique personality and needs, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved throughout their stay. From leisurely walks to engaging playtime, our dog received the personalized care they deserved. Clean and Safe Environment: Jamie's home was a clean and safe haven for our dog. We were impressed by the level of cleanliness and organization, which reflected Jamie's commitment to providing a welcoming environment. Our dog had plenty of space to roam and explore, all while feeling secure and at ease. Reliability: Jamie's reliability was impeccable, instilling complete confidence in their ability to care for our dog. They were punctual for drop-off and pick-up, and they followed our instructions meticulously. We never had to worry about the well-being of our dog while in Jamie's care. In summary, Jamie exceeded our expectations in every way possible. Their passion for dogs shines through in everything they do, making them the perfect choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. We wholeheartedly recommend Jamie to anyone in need of exceptional pet care – they truly are a gem on Rover! Thank you, Jamie, for providing our dog with such a positive and enjoyable experience.

About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!

Brianna stepped in as an emergency sitter for our dogs while we were on vacation. She didn’t hesitate to come to their rescue last minute. Our dogs (or us) never had the opportunity to meet her beforehand and we came home to happy dogs! I can’t express my gratitude enough and the fact she was able to give me the peace of mind that I needed.

I am one of 'those moms' leaving a whole page of notes, tips, suggestions, etc., but my boys are my everything...so...I was so happy to find Cassie! She was great with the boys - sending lots of pictures of their play and rest times. She took great care of the house too during her overnights. We've already booked two more weekends away knowing our boys and our home are in great hands with Cassie!!

About: From cuddly cats to energetic dogs, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to give your pets consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I plan my schedule with flexibility, making time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so your pets never feel rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, I’m committed to being reliable and present when your pets need it most. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the service requested, whether in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule—feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or yard cleanup, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, secure, and following any specific instructions you leave. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where your pet will receive close supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I keep routines as consistent as possible to help them feel at ease, and I’m attentive to any special needs, diets, or behaviors. No matter the setting, my goal is to make your pet feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.

Eva was amazing with our dog Lola. Took her on walks, kept to her schedule, and gave her lots of love and belly rubs. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how things were going. We could not have asked for a better sitter and she definitely is a dog lover. Lola was sorry to see her go.

About: I have grown up around many different types of animals my whole life, shy, reactive, overly friendly. I am very patient when it comes to animals. My goal whenever I hangout with an animal is to make sure they know they can trust me. I have to take care of my three dogs at my house, with help from my family but during the day Im the one who is usually home. I love to take my dog for a walk or even a run sometimes. I care for my pets and any pets I get to watch like they're my own. I will play with them, or hangout with them for a long time (they're the best company).

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Louisville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 793 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Louisville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saint Louisville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint Louisville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saint Louisville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Louisville. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
