About: I own my own dog, who is well trained, along with caring for neighbors dogs, and training. I have puppy sat at my own home for multiple nights. In my free time I watch a lot of dog training videos and love to do animal research. I enjoy cats while I do have limited experience. I am a full time college student however, I have my evenings free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and weekends work great for me as well. I love dog training and I am extremely passionate about animal research, so I love to learn more. I am detail oriented, I have a dog of my own, and I actively pet sit. I am really good with communication, and respond frequently and in a timely manner, and I am relatively flexible with timing if need be.

“Nicole was absolutely outstanding. She checked on, fed, and loved on our two kitties while we were gone for 2 weeks. She took such good care of them! She went above and beyond - took in our packages, took up our trash, and even cleaned up kitty litter that the cats tracked through the house. Her communication was amazing and she sent regular updates and pictures. We felt so comfortable having Nicole at our home while we were gone. We will 1000% have Nicole take care of our animals again!”

“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.”

About: I've had dogs and cats in my house practically my entire life and have had the opportunity to watch friends' pets on multiple occasions. I have now been a part of the Rover Community for about 3 years. I am comfortable walking dogs, feeding and bathing and cleaning up after pets, as needed. I have a full-time job working 7 hours/day Monday-Friday so I am only available for weekend sitting services, unless your pet can be alone for long periods of time. Please feel free to reach out with any questions/concerns. I am available for house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking in client's home after 3pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. These would include potty breaks, feeding, walking and bathing client's pets as needed. I am willing to stay overnight as well. I can not watch pets at my own house as my own cat does not do well with other animals.

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life, always having two or more animals inside my home to love and care for. I gravitate to animals and connect with them on a deep level. Animals deserve all the love and care in the world, and what better way to provide for them! I currently work full time, but I work four, ten hour days (Tuesday through Friday). This leaves me plenty of time to care for pups on the weekend and for evening walks during the week! I love spending time with dogs to take them on walks, playing fetch, or watching them do a puzzle to keep them entertained! Creating a bond with the dog is what’s most important to me!

About: Having grown up and worked on a farm until moving to Louisville four years ago, I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and other fowl. Along with providing routine daily care, I am experienced in handling basic needs across various levels of veterinary emergencies. While I am currently enjoying my time in grad school, I truly miss being around animals every day and would love the opportunity to care for yours! I'm a full-time grad student, my schedule allows me time in the morning, in the evenings and throughout the weekend to look after your pet. I can be flexible and am open to talking and finding a time that can work for both of us! While I have much experience with animals, I do recognize that everyone has different needs. I'm looking forward to meeting each animal and learning about their individual personalities as well as their needs. I promise to communicate as openly as possible to bring as much peace of mind as I can while you are away from your pet and your home. I understand that there is a level of trust that comes with having someone new in your home, so I am open to answering any questions you may have so that this can be a smooth and comfortable process for both of us.

About: I am a calm, patient, and responsible pet lover who enjoys spending time with both dogs and cats. I currently have a 17-lb dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibilities of caring for a pet, including feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping a consistent routine. I also previously cared for a medium-sized adult dog for about two months and have long-term experience interacting with cats through my previous workplace. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I will always treat your pets with patience, kindness, and care. I am currently waiting for my nursing license transfer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I am available throughout most weekdays and weekends and can accommodate a variety of visit times. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide reliable care, companionship, feeding, playtime, and check-ins while you are away. I understand that every pet has its own routine and personality. During each visit, I will follow your instructions carefully to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I can provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and companionship. As someone with a healthcare background, I pay close attention to details and take responsibility for your pet’s well-being and safety.

About: I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new. I’ve lived all across the country, and every time we moved, one of my biggest worries was finding someone I truly trusted with my dogs. That experience is a big part of why I want to provide the same kind of care and reassurance I’ve always looked for in a sitter. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have three dogs and two cats of my own, including a rescue pup so I totally get having a dog with some special quirks. I also spend time taking dogs from Louisville Metro Animal Services (LMAS) out on field trips, giving them a chance to get out of the shelter, explore, play, and get some much-deserved one-on-one attention. I have a soft spot for the pets who need a little extra patience. One of my dogs is extremely anxious and terrified of thunderstorms, so I understand that not every dog immediately warms up to a new person — and that’s okay! I’m happy to take things at their pace and learn what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, and I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. My experiences as a pediatric ICU nurse has taught me to be attentive to small changes, stay clam under pressure, follow detailed care instructions, and understand just how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for a member of your family. My dogs can be pretty anxious, so leaving them with a stranger has never been easy for me. I’m the pet parent who wants lots of updates and probably way too many pictures while I’m gone! When your pets are with me, expect plenty of photos and updates. I know how reassuring it is to see your dog happily lounging on the couch, enjoying their walk, or just being their goofy self while you’re away. I want you to enjoy your time away without wondering how things are going back home. Most importantly, I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your dog wants long walks, someone to throw their toy 100 times, or spend the evening curled up next to me, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I want you to be able to leave home knowing your pets are with someone who understands how much they mean to you - because I know exactly how that feels. I work full-time, but I have a flexible schedule that still leaves plenty of room for pet care! I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, which gives me even more flexibility for drop-ins, walks, and spending some extra time with your pets on those days. I’m also an early riser, so morning visits are no problem for me — I’m happy to start my day with a walk, breakfast, litter box cleanup, or some quality time with your pet before heading to work. I know how important reliable scheduling is when someone is depending on you to care for their pets, so I’ll keep my Rover calendar updated to clearly reflect my availability. If I accept a booking, you can feel confident that I’ve made sure I have the time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve — along with plenty of photo updates along the way! Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely and respect your home as if it were my own. Before walks, I’ll make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure, and I’ll never let a dog off leash unless specifically instructed in a safe, designated area. During drop-ins, I’ll be mindful of doors, gates, medications, food, and anything else that could pose a safety risk. I’ll also pay attention to your pet’s behavior and never force interaction if they seem nervous or uncomfortable. As a pediatric ICU nurse, safety, attention to detail, and noticing when something seems “off” are second nature to me. I’ll keep you updated during each visit and communicate right away if I notice anything concerning. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing both your pet and your home are being treated with care and respect while you’re away.

About: Owned dogs since I was young and I’ve sat for dogs for the last 8+ years. Experience with many different breeds, ages and temperaments. Just a girl with a soft spot for every dog! During weekends I am available all day, everyday and ensure to get multiple walks, potty breaks and playtime dates into the day. During the week I do work but am home every 4-6 hours to ensure potty breaks and exercise. I live in an apartment complex that offers multiple dog runs/parks. I also walk my own dog 3-5 times per day outside in the neighborhood. I am open to crating or freedom around the apartment based on what the dog needs.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and have been a huge passion of mine growing up. I am caring, trusting, and dependable and will provide the best personal care to fit your dog, cats, or exotics needs. My experience with both dogs and cats has stemmed as a far back to pet sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood, to volunteering at the humane society through my teens. My work experience includes working at a humane society and county shelter. I also have years of experience working at dog boarding and daycare facilities. Along with some background working at an animal hospital. These all allowed me to get familiar with all sizes, personalities, and needs. I am comfortable and have been around puppies of all ages! I also am familiar with dogs with special needs and am able to administer medication. I also recently just became Pet CPR and first aid certified. Besides my experience in care for cats and dogs, I have some prior knowledge for caring with reptiles and ferrets. It’s always rewarding and important to provide the best care possible and most importantly make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable. Currently I am a very open and flexible with my schedule to cater to different situations and provide the highest care possible for your individual pets needs. I do my best and strive to stick with your pets schedule and routine. I provide drop in visits that includes multiple times a day or staying in home to ensure the best care for your companion. *Special/specific needs may include an increase fee in service.

Absolutely the best!! She is a true dog lover anf treated our dogs like they were her own. My dogs took to her immediately trying to play with her during the meet and greet. Very detailed about each visit with pictures. Even rubbed oil on my dog who has back issues! I could go on and on about how pleased we all were with her care of our dogs and her communication with us. In every aspect she went above and beyond and stayed longer to care for them and walk them then expected. We shared her notes and photos each visit with other family members and enjoyed her commentary . Highly Recommend Courtney! Your pets will be in e collet hands

Breanna was absolutely wonderful with Cooper. She sent great pictures throughout the stay — Cooper looked happy, relaxed, and clearly loved spending time with her. She was always on time for walks and kept me updated without me ever needing to ask. Scheduling with her was easy and stress‑free, and she spent real quality time with Cooper, not just quick check‑ins. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ten Broeck

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,148 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ten Broeck. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Ten Broeck. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitter.
