“This was our first time using rover and Joanna was the best. Our boys loved her and we felt they were completely safe in her care. She gave frequent and thorough updates along with pictures of them. 10/10 from us!”
“Jacob did a great job with our cats and dog while we were away during the holidays. There's a lot of them and they all need something different. We really appreciated the time/effort he put into cleaning the litter boxes, which is usually an issue for us!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I currently have two golden retrievers who run my world! One is 4 and the other is 8 months old. I am available to stay at your house overnight and during long periods of time. I am a full time ultrasound student in Louisville but my school schedule is very flexible so I can come home to let the pups out multiple times per day! I am currently a full-time sonography student in Louisville, but my class schedule is very flexible. I am also available all weekends. I am able to stay overnight and take your pups out multiple times per day. I have two golden retrievers of my own (they are cared for by my dad when I am gone so they would not be coming with me) and they are SPOILED rotten. I will make sure your pup is the same! I am very active and love going on walks so that would be a part of our daily activities.
“We had a 10-day trip out of town and our initial boarding plan suddenly changed, so I had to scramble to find a dog sitter the night before our flight. Within minutes, Jessica reached out and came to meet Scrappy that same night, and was able to visit him every day while we were gone. She visited 3 times/day and sent us an update and pictures for every single visit. Even with last-minute car issues, she still managed to find a way to care for Scrappy. Jessica and her family were great with our dog and gave him lots of love and playtime. Would totally recommend!”
“Meg took excellent care of Hannah while we traveled for the holidays. She was kind enough to watch Hannah relatively last minute, which was huge considering we needed someone for Christmas Eve and Christmas. I would absolutely recommend Meg if you're looking for someone prompt and caring!”
“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
About: Hello! I’m a tenured physics Professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently care for three cats of my own and have many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I am patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I’ve had a cat or dog as a pet for almost all of my life. I had two cats for their entire lifetime, and currently have 2 chihuahua mixes. One is a special needs Senior, and the other is 5 years old. I’m an educator, that is currently on summer break. I have plenty of time to walk your dogs or drop in to care for your pets. I do a lot of walking with my own two dogs, so I would love to give yours a great workout. I can also do drop ins to feed, give meds, or play with your pet.
About: Growing up, outside of school I spent a good portion of my free time volunteering at a local animal shelter and actively challenging kids around me to help provide care to pets in most need. Over the years, these experiences have translated into a unique skill set of tricks and techniques to provide your pet with the utmost attention and care they deserve. My goal is to offer any pet (cat, dog, any other small animal) under my supervision unparalleled quality of care and a loving home environment. My home is on a 4 Acre plot of land with a fenced yard. The fenced yard allows for free play at least once every 1-2 hours with my supervision. When on leash we can explore the other unfenced portion of the yard or neighborhood. Inside my home my wife and I have partitioned pet safe areas where they can freely roam. I have tons of toys for all sizes and want their stay to be a vacation for them. :) I have two small corgis that are extremely friendly and love to play with new friends. If bringing your animal to my residence is not convenient, I offer a pick up and drop off service for a round trip fee. My goal is to simplify your pet care needs, by providing unparalleled quality care, a loving home environment, and peace of mind that your family member is being taken care of by a loving family I work at home as a front-end software developer, my work schedule is flexible meaning I can provide as much attention as your pet deserves I have a climate controlled room that has doggy doors that allows them to free roam inside and in the yard (with supervision). Most services needed or requested can be accommodated. Pets are allowed to roam inside my home or in my yard with my supervision. I take dogs on at least 3 walks a day if weather permits. I can accommodate most requests I currently work a part-time job from home that allows for a ton of flexibility. That being said I have a ton of time to play with your pups and give them the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible and I seek to make things as convenient as possible for you. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs that are always looking to make new friends. When boarding I make sure to keep a close eye on any pet in my supervision. I have spare crates, bowls, blankets, and a mountain of toys to play with. In the summertime I have dog pools, sprinklers, and lots of fun
“Julia did great with our boys! Gave great notes at the end of each check in that let us know our boys were in good hands:) We really appreciate everything Julia did and highly recommend!”
“Lauren was awesome on drop in visits and walks for us. Great communicator who let us know about a plumbing issue that arose while we were gone. We were very happy we booked again with her.”
About: My childhood pets were a 180 lbs Great Dane/English Mastiff mix and an 8 lbs chihuahua, so I can care for dogs of any size. I have done countless hours of research on animals, especially dogs and their behavior, since I was young. I am great at keeping dogs calm and love taking them on walks and can work on leash training for those than need it, weather permitting. If the weather isn't cooperating, I have multiple indoor activities to keep your pet occupied as well! I brush shedding animals and I give baths. I give massages to dogs, especially seniors and our buff babies, which has a myriad of benefits. Administering medications isn't a problem for me at all, and neither is caring for animals with behavioral issues. I love taking and sharing pictures and will keep you in the loop to whatever degree you would like. I worked at a kennel for a year, but the care of the dogs was rapidly and I could no longer be a part of it, so I recently left. I also volunteer at the Kentucky Humane Society. I recently quit my job at a boarding facility because I didn't like how the animals were being treated and I am in the process of creating a business dedicated to petsitting. I'd spend majority of my time with your pet, whether it is at your home, at the park, going on a car ride, or some other adventure. There may be times I leave, but I won't be gone longer than 4 hours at a time, or I will inform you beforehand if it's unavoidable. I will care for your pet how you instruct me to and will not do anything without your express permission, which I will ask for before I stay with your pet. I have a basic questionnaire that I will ask you to fill out beforehand as well so I can keep it in my records. For animals under 15 lbs (other then hybrid indoor/outdoor cats), I will never leave them outside alone just for the off chance there are predatory animals. If there is no physical fence, the same rule applies for animals of all size, even if there is one of those invisible fences. If the feels-like temperature is over 85 degrees or under 35 degrees no matter the size or breed, I do not take the dogs on walks and I limit the time they are outside at a time. Certain sizes, breeds, and medical conditions may make the cut off temperatures change (i.e. pugs will not be walked when it's 80 degrees). How hot the concrete is also plays a part, but I base that on how it feels on my own hand. Animals that enjoy it receive massages, especially seniors and our buff pets. I brush them, play with them, and I have indoor games and activities for them for when the weather isn't cooperating, many that provide mental stimulation. When I'm petsitting, I treat the animal exactly as I would want my own to be treated--for them to follow instructions and to engage with them. When it comes to emergencies and vet visits, that is a case by case basis and if you want more information, please contact me!
“Lydia, what a blessing you are... Came out in bitter cold to take care of our dog, who loves the cold and wanted to stay outside... Thank you so much for taking such good care of him.”

Mel does a wonderful job taking care of your fur baby, following all your instructions with care. And, then, she does the little extras that add so much! Her attentiveness to whatever helps your pet feel your absence a little less makes her such a great sitter! Thank you, Mel!
Ashlea was very helpful, responsive, and responsible. I was out of the country due to an unexpected family emergency, and she helped check on my cat, refill the food, take care of the litter, and update me on the situation in my apartment. She communicated clearly and sent me helpful information so I could understand what was going on while I was away. I really appreciate her care and flexibility, especially with the short notice. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.
Alex was an amazing sitter and was able to provide services last minute. My girls were very comfortable and appreciated meeting beforehand. Instructions were followed well and Alex reached out when further clarification was needed, which I very much appreciated.
Shaine took care of a feral cat that I have been caring for over the last eight years. Feral cats choose people not the other way around. It was obvious from how close this cat came to Shaine that she is good people. I would recommend Shaine for simple or complicated pet sitting needs.
There are not enough great things I can say about Zarayah! She made being away from my fur baby a lot less stressful. She went the extra mile sending pictures and videos, keeping me updated with how kitty was doing while I was gone. As a first time Rover user I really lucked out finding Zarayah when I needed a last-minute booking. She is very sweet and considerate, and I cannot recommend her enough!

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.

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.
