“Absolutely wonderful experience!! Panda was well taken care of and I received photos of her daily along with updates. Gabrielle was very understanding about panda being old and not using the potty pads like she does at home the first couple days while she was there. I’m so glad to have found Gabrielle and her family to watch panda for us when we are away. Thanks so much!!!”
“Stephen and Angela are absolutely great! Watched our pups during our wedding weekend and was at total ease. I was sent pictures of them everyday along with a reassuring message. Thank y’all so much!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”
“Beth took wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and anecdotal notes to us. We knew they were in good care and didn’t have to worry one bit!! We will definitely contact her again if we need someone to watch them while we’re out of town! ❤️❤️❤️”
“We had the best experience! Our dog was well loved and got loads of playtime and care while we were traveling. He was great about photos and videos, which helped ease missing her. Stefan was friendly, personable, professional, and reliable. We’ll book with him again, no doubt.”
“Carla was fantastic! Very friendly and accommodating. This was our first time leaving our 1 yr old mini labradoodle with someone else. Our pup has a little separation anxiety, so we really liked that Carla has a sweet 1yr old doodle to keep Lexie company. Lexie and Juno were introduced - then started playing and running around the fenced yard immediately.. great fun! You can tell Carla is wonderful with dogs. Lexie had a great staycation! We will call on Carla again to take care of Lexie whenever we leave town - it’s nice to not worry about your fur baby when away!! We Highly recommend Carla!”
“Gabriella was fantastic. She watched my dog, Barkleigh for four days and sent me photos and updates. Great communication and a very nice person. Barkleigh will be back.”
“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Elizabeth & Philip took care of our Lexi like she was one of their own. It was our first time leaving our dog under someone else’s care. They gave us peace of mind and updates on her care. We really appreciated it. They will always be our first choice in the future. Highly recommend!!!”
“Jared and Waverly were great. Folie had the best time playing with their dog Lucy and running around their big backyard. We got plenty of updates and pictures while we were away. We will gladly use them in the future whenever we have to be away again.”
“Heather was great! We highly recommend her, my dog had a great time at her house which was perfect because doesn’t have steps. She send us updates and pictures daily giving us a peace of mind.”
“Our 2 dogs had an amazing time with Megan, Axel and the family. We appreciated the attention to detail of what our dogs needed, and the pictures sent of them. They really enjoyed themselves and were wore out from playing with Axel and one another while we were away. Would highly recommend Meagan for your pet’s booking needs. We will book again forsure!”
“Our dog Caddie had a great, long stay with Jim! We could tell she was so relaxed and enjoyed playing with the other dogs. Jim sent lots of pics for updates. We definitely recommend Jim and will use him again in the future!”

We have owned pups for most of our lives We live on an acre in a dog friendly neighborhood in La Grange.

We also have a crate available if needed.
“This was our first experience with Rover, and Jessica & Jeremy G. met every expectation and more! They provided a level of care and attention that we couldn't have expected from a pet sitter. I don't think Reyna could have been made to feel more at home. Thank you!”
About: I'm Sean, a lifelong dog owner offering Boarding and Doggy Day Care. I work from home full time in Oldham County, steps away from great dog walks along the Ohio River. Your dog gets supervised attention all day, long outdoor walks, in a friendly and fun environment for dogs of any age, breed or size. I lost my dog of 14 years in early 2026 and I'm channeling that love into caring for yours. Taking good care of your pet allows me to do something I truly enjoy while giving you peace of mind while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am available full-time and every dog is unique, so you can expect that I will tailor each day to your pet's age, energy level, personality, exercise requirements, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. Mornings will include an early morning potty break and outdoor time, breakfast according to your dog's normal feeding schedule, a walk, play session, or quiet outdoor exploration depending on your dog's preferences. There will be plenty of attention and companionship as the day begins. Throughout the day there will be multiple supervised outdoor breaks in the spacious yard and surrounding dog friendly areas. This will include long walks, short walks, play sessions, or relaxation time based on your dog's needs. Fresh water will be available at all times. There will be frequent interaction, supervision, and companionship since I work from home and there will also be comfortable indoor rest periods between activities. Afternoons and evenings will include additional outdoor exercise and activities, dinner according to your dog's established routine, relaxation time indoors with plenty of attention and affection, evening potty breaks and if necessary a walk before bedtime. Individualized care is important for your dog's well being, so before your dog's stay, I will learn about feeding schedules and dietary restrictions, medication requirements, favorite activities and exercise preferences, commands and training cues your dog responds to, sleeping habits and comfort needs and any special routines that will help your dog feel at home. My goal is to maintain as much of your dog's normal routine as possible. During your pets stay your dog will enjoy exercise, companionship, and personalized care. Long walks and adventure or a relaxed day of lounging and affection await so your pet will feel right at home. For safety, dogs are always walked on leash. I am always happy to arrange a meet and greet, either in person or by video call, so you can feel completely comfortable before booking.

“Shelby was FANTASTIC with our Sherman. He was very nervous when we left him (he has separation anxiety). Not only did he seem to do well after we left (the pictures she sent us spoke volumes about his mood), but when i picked him up he was excited to see us as always but instead of running straight to the car and waiting at the door for us as he usually does when we pick him up from someone he did a couple of excited circles and had to run back to give one of Shelbys pups a kiss goodbye. He often stays with my sister and he loves her and her dogs but he never runs back to the door for any reason. He was so relaxed and clearly worn out feom playing so much. Shelby is terrific. You xan certainly entrust her qith the care of your fur-baby with confidence!”
“Jared and Waverly were great with our dogs, and even managed to get my curmudgeon named skittles to positively interact with a couple older dogs! They were flexible and understanding of my changing schedule, as we were on a road trip and only needed help for a few hours. If I’m ever in Louisville with the doggos again I’d contact them straightaway”
“Our dog's stay with Jim went well. When we first arrived, Stella was nervous being in a new home with strange dogs. But Jim quickly put her at ease - she relaxed within a few minutes. Jim is definitely a dog person. When I picked Stella up, she was as happy as could be.”
About: Hi! My name is Allie! My life revolves around my two border collies. We are constantly off finding adventures...hiking down new trails, swimming in lakes, herding sheep! Of course, we love an inside, sit on the couch type of day, as well. Whichever kind of day your pet needs, I would love the opportunity to care for them. I attended three years of veterinary technician school and have worked in several hospitals and shelter settings. From all those experiences, I learned how to interact with different personalities and treat medical emergencies. I am now in a different field that allows me to work from home the majority of the time. Therefore, I will be available to spend all day with your pets! I have also had horses my whole life and grew up working on ranches. If you have a hobby farm or other animals that need to be cared for, I am happy to do that as well! Feel free to message me with any questions you may have. I can't wait to meet you and your furry ones! I work from home most days. If I am called away, then it is for a couple hours at a time. My goal is to never leave your pup alone for more than a couple of hours. In that time, they can either be crated or have full access to our guest room for all their napping needs. :) I have a very large, fully fenced in backyard to play in. I have two border collies that have never met a stranger. Depending on your dogs needs, we will take the proper steps to ensure every one is safe and happy for the entirety of their stay.
About: I have over 18 years of hands-on experience working with animals and take pride in providing safe, knowledgeable care for every pet I work with. I’ve trained multiple dogs in behavioral rehabilitation and personal protection, which has given me strong skills in reading body language and handling a wide range of temperaments. I also have experience working as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable monitoring pets for health concerns and administering medications if needed. In addition to dogs and cats, I have extensive experience training and handling horses, which has helped me develop patience, consistency, and a deep understanding of animal behavior. I truly care about the animals in my care and believe every pet deserves attentive, reliable, and compassionate treatment while their owners are away. I work from home so I have all the hours to dedicate to your pets and provide the best care possible. Book with me today! I have a full fenced in farm with the ability to keep your furbaby separate from other animals or the ability to let your fur babies play with others. Crates are available as well.

About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire life both big and small. We currently have a medium dog who is a dream to walk, and a large dog who walks us but we love both just the same! We would love to host your fur baby at our house or drop in just to give them some love! We have 2 kids who have been raised around animals. Our normal attire is dog hair so we’re not afraid of some shedding. We haven’t been able to stretch our legs out in our bed in 10 years because no matter how comfy our dogs bed is they always end up on ours so we don’t mind if they are on our furniture or bed!
About: I’ve been taking care of friends/family animals when they go out of town. I make sure that all the needs are met(potty/walks/playtime/cuddles). I’ve owned dogs and cats all my life. I work a 9-5 so I am available in the morning and the evening for overnight/daytime care. I also understand the importance of animal care. I make sure they are fed, walked, and are given play time.

Im currently a stay at home mom dealing with some medical issues and unable to work outside the home. Im home most of the time to be with your furry family I do have fenced yard but fenced isn't connected to house so your fur babies will be walked to and from fence on leash or just walked on leash. Both our dogs are very dog friendly and they both love to play fetch. Your kitty will have own space from our dogs and cat but will still get loved on and to snuggle with someone as my oldest son is in our basement.
“Gabriella is wonderful and took great care of our Husky, Moose. She sent tons of pictures of him and Yeti playing, running, and playing some more. Yeti was great with Moose, and he has another friend to play with!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was 10. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and love on their animals. I have a very flexible full time job that allows me to come and go as needed. I always check my schedule to make sure I can. I like to meet the family and pets before I start so that they know who I am and am not a stranger to them. I currently have three family’s that rely on me when they go out of town.
About: I have always loved animals and have grown up with at least one dog or cat at the house, I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats. I have been dogsitting for about 3 years and have experience with dogs ranging from small (like toy breeds) to large breeds (such as mastiffs) . I usually send pictures of your pet having fun on walks or enjoying outside. I have taken care of animals that need medication either orally or through injection. I have taken care of dogs ranging from a year to 15 years old. I strive to give your pet the best experience and can't wait to work for you. I am currently working and have the availability to be work from home. Excited to get to know you and your amazing pet or pets. I treat the pets like my own. I keep the care instructions, while trying to keep the difference to a minimum to keep the pets at ease.
About: I’m a SAHM with 3 active kids ages 10,6,5. Animals have been a part of our lives since the day we all could walk. When your animal is in our care we will give them all the love and attention they deserve. We also try and accommodate their normal schedule as much as possible. Whether that be laying and relaxing, or going out for multiple walks. I also have a fenced in back yard for those days where they want to play fetch. We have 2 other pets, one cat and one dog, which both are super laid back. Please make sure your animal loves kids, as they will be around ALOT and will probably over love on your animals ;) Just a house full of love and we love welcoming new ones in! It is now summer break which means.... WE ARE HOME every day! This means tons of walks, play time, nap times, pee breaks. Your animal unless other wise told, will have free roam to our house. We have safety gates that will be put up, if you feel more comfortable them staying in one room. I have a backyard, and if the animal is needing to be crated I can also accommodate that. My animals however, are allowed anywhere in the house that I or my family is allowed. Bedrooms, beds, couches, outside!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong attention to detail and the level of care and communication I provide. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, monitoring, or medication. I prioritize clear, ongoing communication by regularly checking in with owners, sending updates and photos, and making sure they feel confident about how their pets are doing. I’m also happy to help with small errands, such as picking up pet supplies or essentials, to make time away as stress-free as possible. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. Not scared of dirty work, cleaning litter boxes, wiping paws and administering meds. I currently work from home part time and have a flexible schedule. So I I have a lot of flexibility, for overnights and dropping by during the day. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, dietary needs, exercise, and daily routines. Care includes providing fresh water, playtime, walks if needed, companionship, and administering medications as directed. I also maintain cleanliness by cleaning litter boxes, cages, and pet areas, and I ensure the home is left tidy and secure after each visit. I prioritize the pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being while providing regular updates to owners for peace of mind.
“Very sweet! Was able to accommodate me on very short notice, which I appreciated. She brought a treat for Biscuit, which he loves, and was understanding of his initial barking when she showed up. Sent me plenty of photos and texted to update me on how he behaved. Thank you!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience!! Panda was well taken care of and I received photos of her daily along with updates. Gabrielle was very understanding about panda being old and not using the potty pads like she does at home the first couple days while she was there. I’m so glad to have found Gabrielle and her family to watch panda for us when we are away. Thanks so much!!!”
“Stephen and Angela are absolutely great! Watched our pups during our wedding weekend and was at total ease. I was sent pictures of them everyday along with a reassuring message. Thank y’all so much!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Sean did a great job. I have two large dogs and had concerns with leaving them at another persons house. We completed a meet and greet, walked the dogs and agreed we would complete the booking process. Sean did a great job of communicating throughout the visit and made sure both of my dogs got plenty of time outside and plenty of walks. Sean went above and beyond for my pups! Will definitely book with him in the future.”
“Beth took wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and anecdotal notes to us. We knew they were in good care and didn’t have to worry one bit!! We will definitely contact her again if we need someone to watch them while we’re out of town! ❤️❤️❤️”
“We had the best experience! Our dog was well loved and got loads of playtime and care while we were traveling. He was great about photos and videos, which helped ease missing her. Stefan was friendly, personable, professional, and reliable. We’ll book with him again, no doubt.”
“Gabriella was fantastic. She watched my dog, Barkleigh for four days and sent me photos and updates. Great communication and a very nice person. Barkleigh will be back.”
“Missy was a life saver! I was on a trip home while my husband was working late when we got a call from the extended stay hotel about my pups that needed attention quickly. Daisy can be hard to handle during thunderstorms and with strangers, but Missy was able to calm her enough to get her to her house and keep her for the rest of my trip. This is quite the feat considering we'd only left the pups with Missy once before. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Elizabeth & Philip took care of our Lexi like she was one of their own. It was our first time leaving our dog under someone else’s care. They gave us peace of mind and updates on her care. We really appreciated it. They will always be our first choice in the future. Highly recommend!!!”
“Jared and Waverly were great. Folie had the best time playing with their dog Lucy and running around their big backyard. We got plenty of updates and pictures while we were away. We will gladly use them in the future whenever we have to be away again.”

“Our 2 dogs had an amazing time with Megan, Axel and the family. We appreciated the attention to detail of what our dogs needed, and the pictures sent of them. They really enjoyed themselves and were wore out from playing with Axel and one another while we were away. Would highly recommend Meagan for your pet’s booking needs. We will book again forsure!”
“Our dog Caddie had a great, long stay with Jim! We could tell she was so relaxed and enjoyed playing with the other dogs. Jim sent lots of pics for updates. We definitely recommend Jim and will use him again in the future!”
“Lilli was great communicating with us regarding Penny. We were out of cell network, so some photos and updates didn't work, but with some extra efforts, Lilli was able to let us know that she and Penny were doing fine, and she managed to send photos despite the setback. We will rebook with her when we have need of sitter!”
