“Donai was amazing with our boys! She catered to each of their individual needs & quirks so well- they were so happy in every picture she sent over. She left the house in perfect condition, even better than we left it. She was so responsive & wonderful- will absolutely be booking her again!!”

“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!”

“Kaley took such good care of Moon while we were out of town. She shared regular updates and was so respectful of our space while we were away. We came back to a happy pup and were relaxed throughout the trip. She also paid attention to all specific instructions related to the places Moon isn't allowed in the house, which was such a relief and handled Moon's quirky behavior with wearing a leash like such a pro. We would highly recommend her!”

“Ami is an absolutely FANTASTIC sitter. I wanted to gatekeep how incredible she is so she doesn't get too booked up :). She took such incredible care of my dog while I was out of town and gave me tons of updates. I felt like I never even left my little guy with how fabulous her communication was. She also took great care of my house which is huge for us given how much we travel. 10/10 will be using Ami again for many sits in the future!”

“Olivia was great. Our boys warmed up to her right away and she sent a ton of photos and videos! She definitely made us feel much more comfortable while we were out of town! She also cleaned up before she left, even though we told her not to worry about anything!”

About: I’ve taken care of, for one, my own dog since I was young and besides from that my neighbors, friends, and family always rely on me when they’re out of town to take care of their pets:) I’ve taken care of puppies and senior dogs! I’m currently enrolled at the University Of Louisville, and have some in person and also online classes so when I’m available could differ but I’m pretty flexible and I could bring my laptop anywhere! I love pets like they’re my own, I have a deep spot in my heart for them all🥹 I can crate any size dog if need be (I know some worry about that). More than happy to take them out wherever whenever, play/walk with them, or bathe them:)!
“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.”

“Alan is quick to respond and always leaves our house in excellent condition! We’ve booked with him multiple times over the past year and my golden retriever always seems happy and well cared for! The only constructive ask would be for Alan to share more proactive updates and photos each day. Overall, Alan is a wonderful sitter and we are so thankful.”


About: I worked in an overnight pet facility called Pet Station Country Club for close to a year as a part of the overnight team. From around 7pm to 6am I would have personal watch of dozens of pets including cats and dogs, and was in charge of giving them medications and potty breaks. I am also Pet Tech CPR and First Aid certified, so I can give medical attention to your pet in an emergency. I have grown up around all kinds of cats, dogs, rabbits and chickens, and love pets! I am a full time student undergoing my junior year at University of Louisville, but am free multiple times during the day to check in on pets as I live within 5 minutes of campus. My evenings are free, and I have no prior commitments. The townhome I stay in has a fenced in yard and is incredibly close to University's campus, meaning it is a safe environment for walks and care.
“Jenna was very attentive with my dog and with taking in all of my instructions and notes about him. She sent me pictures and kept me updated throughout the day. Highly recommend as a sitter and will definitely book with her again should an opportunity come up again!”


About: Caring for other is my passion. Whether it's people or pets. I love animals and treat them like another member of the family. I grew up with pets and I've cared for them my entire life. I also have a nack for training dogs as well. I potty trained my dog and taught her to open doors and take items to others. I can provide play data as well with family members who have pets as well with other rover customers if desired. I live in a safe and clean environment that will foster a great experience for all parties. I'm looking to build long lasting relationships with all pets and their owners. Choosing me will be a great choice. Have a great day. Thank you for your consideration.
“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.”

About: Dogs have always been family in my home, and that’s exactly how I treat every pup who stays here. My name is Keith and I share a home with my wife, Natalie; our 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound, Bernie, and our 6-year-old daughter, who has grown up loving and being around dogs. The home has a large, fully fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, explore, or just lounge outside. Inside, the home is completely dog-friendly—couches, furniture, snuggles and all! I want your dog to feel like they’re staying with family rather than being boarded. One of the biggest benefits of staying here is that someone is almost always home. I work from home 90% of the time and the whole family is home on the weekends, so your pup will get plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. They won’t spend their stay sitting alone for hours. Having an Irish Wolfhound has also given me plenty of experience with large and giant breeds, but I genuinely love dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, so my goal is to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and included while they’re here. And of course, I am happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can see what your pup is up to! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I work from home majority of the time, so someone is almost always here. This means your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will get plenty of attention, playtime, outside time, and cuddles throughout the day. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding and love having an extra furry family member around! The home has a large, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a sweet 4-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Bernie who is very much part of our family. We have a 6-year-old daughter who has grown up around dogs and understands how to be gentle and respectful with them. The home is very dog-friendly—pups are welcome on the furniture, encouraged to get comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re here. I am also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, sleeping, medication, crate, or exercise routine so they feel as comfortable and secure as possible.
“Jenniffer was awesome. Our dogs loved her and she took great care of our house. She took them on walks everyday and sent lots of pictures and updates. She coordinated letting people into our house and left it cleaner than we left it. She works from home, so our dogs got to go out whenever they wanted and got to sleep in our bed with her- like they prefer! The dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned. So excited to have a professional, compassionate person to look after our dogs from now on.”

About: I have several years of pet care experience, watching animals of any kind and loving every minute of it! I have participated in training my own dog and have rescued and re homed several cats. I share experience in watching/walking dogs in training and those of senior age groups, I’m an animal lover at heart. I am a college student but am flexible at different times throughout the week depending on the times needed. My schedule is consistently open on weekends! I consider myself a responsible person when it comes to pet care. I am attentive, perceptive and understand every pet has a different personality. I hold a good routine in mealtime, bathroom breaks and make sure to give plenty of playtime or cuddles to pets who are interested!
“Brandon is an amazing dog sitter! He treated all of our dogs like his own and was super dependable. He came over and met the dogs prior to his first stay with them and got along great. He isn’t afraid of asking questions and is very kind. We will definitely be using him again.”

“Ryo did a great job for our 10 night house/cat-sit. Great communication, sent plenty of pictures, and I know that our three shy cats were definitely building that comfort and familiarity you all hope for in a house or pet sitter. Only feedback is the water bowls needed one last top-up, but not the end of the world. Overall Ryo was super respectful of our space, and left everything in its place. You'll be our first choice for future cat and house sitting needs if you're interested Ryo, that's for sure! Thanks again so much.”

“Jorie arrived early, was very upbeat and positive and my little Maltese, Becca, was all over her with happy kisses. When I left for the afternoon and evening I felt confident that Becca was in good hands. I showed Jorie how to express my little pup's bladder and she took care of her, no problem though most vet techs are unable to accomplish this. I adopted Becca as she was recovering from severe abuse including a broken back and pelvis so I have to be very careful about her care. I like Jorie and I think you and your fur babies will, too.”

Ami is an absolutely FANTASTIC sitter. I wanted to gatekeep how incredible she is so she doesn't get too booked up :). She took such incredible care of my dog while I was out of town and gave me tons of updates. I felt like I never even left my little guy with how fabulous her communication was. She also took great care of my house which is huge for us given how much we travel. 10/10 will be using Ami again for many sits in the future!

Katie was incredible. She came for not one but two meet and greets before we went away on our vacation to meet our anxious 4 year old, and new 12 week old puppy. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. Left the house beautifully clean. We would 100% recommend Katie and will use her again if she's available.

Brandon took wonderful care of our animals and we would absolutely book him again! We had a few minor miscommunications around some of the notes, but it was all resolved extremely professionally and I never doubted for a moment that our animal's care and safety were his top priority!
Renee is so patient with our anxious rescue dog. She handled her with love and kindness. We received daily updates with photos and videos. I will continue to use Renee for any of my pet sitter needs. I trust her one hundred percent in my home and with my fur baby. She is the best!

Sarah provided amazing care. Our cats were in good hands with Sarah. She administered food and medicine according to our preferred schedule. She went above and beyond in tending to our house while we were away. We (and the cats) are happy to have met Sarah! We will be requesting her again for future stays.

Brynne was so great! She worked with our other Rover sitter to make sure my pets had care while we were gone and she noticed when my dog started itching and let me know so I could order him meds. I really appreciate her picking them up for me and getting him started on them! I would 100% recommend Brynne!

Madi was such a great sitter! The pups were happy and relaxed when we got home. We had a flight cancellation without much notice and she was able to stay an extra day in an urgent situation and was so kind about it. Our home was exactly as we left it when we returned. We highly recommend Madi as a sitter and hope to be able to rebook her in the future!
