“They took really good care of my pups. Three weeks was a long time to be away from my babies, but they came back healthy and sound. Thank you for taking care of my pups!!”
“Alexis and Daniel (and their lovely dog, Josie) took great care of Duke. They had so many options to make him happy, including lots of outside/yard time and a comfortable indoor space. They accommodated a tricky request for me when I was in a pinch, and they communicated well with me before and during his stay. Thanks so much!!”
“My 2 dogs loved their vacation at Carla's house! They enjoyed playing with her dog Moncho, and after 5 days I picked up 2 very happy dogs. We will definitely use Carla again in the future!”
“They took such good care of our dogs! They sent us lots of pictures and kept us up to date on how the dogs were doing. One of my dogs can be temperamental with other dogs, but they made sure that he had his own space if he needed some alone time, so he was comfortable and happy. Both of my dogs had a blast playing with the other dogs and getting lots of snuggles!”
“Angela is the best of the best! Super easy to coordinate with, she took so many pictures of Yeti while I was out of town—it looked like he had an absolute blast. Cannot recommend Angela enough!”
“We have dropped our Luna off with Chris 2 times already and would do it again if needed ! He is super accommodating, updates you, and makes all involved comfortable ! Thank you. Chris !”
“Beth was so responsive and provided great detail into any message she sent regarding Ivan. I never once had to message her first to ask how he was doing. She made sure to send me lots of messages and lots of photos and I felt very comfortable leaving Ivan in her care. would highly recommend her I cannot say enough good things.”
“Dan is amazing!! She went above and beyond and gave multiple updates each day with photos and how my cat was doing. Dan cared for her like she was her own and was very attentive to my cat’s needs and quirks. She was always on schedule with feedings and changing the litter. My cat thoroughly enjoyed spending time there and was living her best life! I will definitely Rover with Dan again. I would highly recommend Dan to care for your pet!!”
“Miller had the best time! Highly recommend Sean and his services. He gives updates and a peace of mind while you’re away! He truly enjoys spending time with your furry friends!”
“Lauren is the epitome of professionalism with a loving touch for my two dogs that she took care of for 12 days. She sent me pics and updated me throughout their stay. I Could not have been more grateful and relieved by her care.”
About: I was a three times a day dog walker for an elderly neighbor. When she passed I took ownership of dog. Now I am looking for some new clients. I work from home and dog walk. I have the time to give to your pup tons of walks, play with them, and give lots of kisses. Fridays are dog park day! I can play with your dog in your home. Give your pup a break from the crate and have me walk and get play with your dog.
“We took an extended vacation and needed care for our 3 cats including one with special needs. Julia and her boyfriend took great care of our boys! They were calm and running around when we arrived to pick them up and all of the items nicely packed for an easy pick up. Definitely recommend for your fur babies! We will be rebooking in the future, thank you Julia!”
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.
“Boone, and his family, are in love with Sharon D. She is extremely genuine and caring. She is very thoughtful and sent many pictures/videos while we were on vacation. Her attention to detail for our fur baby made us like her even more. This was our first time using Rover and she made the experience so simple and easy to trust. I would HIGHLY recommend Sharon D!!!”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”
“Mariah and her family are truly the best! I’m so thankful to have someone local I trust to care for my pups while I’m away! She does an incredible job messaging daily updates (with pictures) and keeping me in the loop ♥️”
“Floyd had a great stay with Collin’s family! Collin sent many pictures and kept me updated daily which really kept me at ease. He treated Floyd like one of his own pets! I’m extremely pleased and will definitely trust him with Floyd’s care again in the future!”

“This is my first time using Rover or having a pet sitter outside family/friends watch my cats. I was a little nervous leaving them with someone new, but I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Joanna was great with my cats. She was very communicative and left detailed notes of her visits. I would definitely have her watch my cats again. Thank you so much!”
“Janet was great with my three cats while I was on vacation for 5 days. Aside from basic feeding and cleaning the boxes, she took time to hang out with the kitties and play with them during her visit. She’s very responsive and left detailed notes each time she checked on the cats. Janet also took a bunch of cute pictures for every visit. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a dependable and sweet pet sitter!”
“Wonderful! Julia provided great service and peace of mind. I was put at ease with her immediately and did not worry about my cats during our week away. The daily check-ins were admired by my children (who missed their pets tremendously) and I was impressed by the care displayed during an unexpected weather event. I will book with Julia again!”
“Tabitha was great with our 3 cats! She is very dependable, flexible with our chaotic schedule and last minute changes, and gave me confidence that our cats were in good hands while we were away.”
“McKenna was AMAZING! I had a horrible experience with Rover before and so I was worried to use it again. McKenna reassured me COMPLETELY! She followed everything we asked to make our time away from our babies smooth. Our cats adjusted great when we got back because of her interaction with them! If we ever go out of town again, McKenna will be the person I book!”
“Laila is fantastic, and I highly recommend you book her. She came to meet my cat before hand and my boy was well taken care of. She even made friends with him which I thought was impossible since he does not like new people! Definitely book her!”
“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.”
“Asher provided excellent communication and care. She met every need and her compassion for animals is evident in the way she handled even our spiciest kitty. It was a relief to know our animals were in such capable hands. We highly recommend her and plan to book again for future trips.”
“Jane was a fantastic pet sitter for our two cats. She stayed at our house, fed, and kept our two lively young cats company. She sent us pictures during the stay so we could see that they were doing well. She made our vacation so much more relaxing knowing our pets were well taken care of. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Ashlea is a wonderful cat-sitter. She takes great care of our two Ragdoll cats making it possible for us to travel and not worry they are okay. She is punctual, follows all my detailed instructions and we come home to very happy guys! Simply the best!”
“Annie is fabulous! She genuinely loves animals and did a fabulous job caring for our cats. She went above and beyond sending us updates, pictures, and videos. I highly recommend her and will totally rebook her in the future!”
“Taylor went so far above and beyond for my 2 cats, I can’t recommend him enough. Communication was great and it’s obvious he genuinely cares about the animals he cares for. He deserves the highest possible rating and I will absolutely book with Taylor again.”

“Colin was absolutely amazing! I found him on short notice and he was super accommodating. I have a yorkie puppy who seemed to play fabulously with his Yorkies. Pups came back super tired from all the play time all while Colin kept me up to date with photos throughout the day. Highly recommend and will use again!”

About: I had dogs and cats in my house my entire childhood. I helped feed them and walk them, gave them medications and played with them. I’ve even given a rowdy Doberman eye drops 😅 long story short, since moving away, I’m looking to have more pets in my life. As for cats, I also grew up cleaning litter boxes and dealing with diet changes. I’ve brushed cats on a very regular basis and love playing with them. I am also here to listen for any other requests or special needs that your pet may have! Whether that be for medications, treats, specifications for walking, training commands, etc. I’m here for you! I am currently working part time with an extremely flexible schedule. I am a stay at home mom expecting my first in August 2024 and spend time taking care of my own dog as well! I am an animal lover, so I am all about the pets, cuddles, and play time! I love to run around with them, play fetch, or just let them do their thing. All animals have different needs and I’m all about observing and listening to them in the moment.
About: I have been caring for pets for the last eight years for colleagues. I am a history teacher at St. Margaret Mary and I have never met a dog that I did not get along with. I am a competitive runner and triathlete so if your dog has a ton of energy and needs someone who can play all day I’m your girl! Send your pets to me and I promise to show them all the love and affection I would my own! I look forward to making your life a little easier and getting some extra puppy snuggle time. References available upon request. I will use whatever tools you like to care for your fur babies. Leashes, fenced yards, or walks around the neighborhood are all great for me. I am free daily in the early afternoons and have evening availability as well. My baby has been around all kinds of pets so now worries bringing allergens home! I have my own dog who loves to play. He is crate trained and we have different areas of the house in case you need to have your pet separate. I live in a culdesac so walking is very safe within my neighborhood.
About: “Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.”– Orhan Pamuk Peace of mind is everything while you are away. I will provide tons of updates and pictures for you to rest assured your baby is in good hands. Many of my clients return again and again, it’s the greatest compliment! I am a compassionate, flexible, reliable pet sitter that will treat your doggie like family. You can feel secure, knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands while you are away. If your pet requires any type of special needs or medication, you can rely on my experience. I have a house with a fully fenced in back yard. I keep my bookings very limited and only accept overlapping puppers when they’re a calm, proven fit. They will get the extra attention they deserve while also having a couple of canine playmates! I work from home so I am able to give your baby full attention, exercise and snuggles all day every day. They will have plenty of socialization and company. I have always loved animals of every kind. I have taken care of dogs for the past 20 years through myself or friends. I have raised & trained my sweet senior Doberman from 8 weeks old. I also have a rescue, a sweet senior Pomeranian that I have had for the past 11 years. In our free time we love going to the lake, camping, picnics in the parks, car rides, the dog park and the occasional pup cup! We would be thrilled for you to allow us to watch your sweet baby and go on adventures with us! I am always extremely flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs and schedule. I work from home so your fur baby will have constant companionship, mental, and physical exercise!

I also have a large and small crate for dogs that are crate trained unless you’d like to bring your own. I have a separate fully insured $1M policy for your peace of mind.

About: I have helped raise a bottle fed kitten and cared for a senior beagle in his last year. I care for and adopt mostly adult dogs, but I haven't met one I don't like! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible to fit in lots of home visits with overnight stay possible! I have my own dog that goes out 3 times a day already, so fitting in pet care is a breeze! I have an apartment with 2 bedrooms where dogs can sleep separate from my own dog. My complex is very dog friendly with all pets on leash, and large areas to sniff and poop as well as a park & track in walking distance.
“I cant say enough good about Catherine. She is extremely professional and she has a true passion and love for dogs. And it shows. I had a vet appointment set for Willow that I needed to reschedule and Catherine offered to take her! That to me is just awesome. Catherine really is great at what she does and I would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Tabitha has walked my dog consistently for the past year and has been the best! I don’t know what we would have done without her. She’s always super flexible with our schedule and has just been great taking care of my fur babies. I am not always one to go out of my way to write reviews, but she was truly excellent!!”

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 training and I am extremely passionate about animals research so I love to learn more. I am detail oriented, and I have a dog of my own and have pet sat before so I have experience. I am really good with communication and respond frequently and in a timely manner, and I am relatively flexible with timing if need be.

About: Hi, I have been around animals of all different shapes and sizes my whole life. In addition to taking care of my own cat, I volunteer at the animal shelter to provide care and fostering. I would love to meet your furry friend! I recently completed my bachelor's degree at UCLA and relocated to Louisville to begin my professional career. Although I love pets, my lifestyle does not allow me to have a pet full-time. I will give the pets I care for maximal attention and energy. I think it is most important when a dog/cat is in a new environment or in one with new people is to make them feel comfortable and safe. In order to insure this I would spend time with the dog/cat and owner before I care for them on my own
About: Since graduating high school, I’ve worked as a house and pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve pet‑sat on and off over the last few years and am hoping to take on more jobs this summer before starting my senior year of college in August. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I can’t wait for the opportunity to work with you and your pets! I’m a college student currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time each day to focus on caring for pets. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to give consistent attention and maintain a reliable routine for your pet. I always prioritize safety and comfort, whether that means supervised outdoor play, quiet indoor time, or crating if needed. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean, and make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi, I'm Jess, a lifelong animal advocate, former shelter director, ordained interspecies animal chaplain, and experienced caretaker based in Prospect, Kentucky. I've spent years working hands-on with animals of all sizes, species, temperaments, and health needs. As Operations Director at the Terre Haute Humane Society, I worked directly alongside veterinarians to implement shelter medicine protocols and quality of life standards, giving me informal vet tech experience that most pet sitters simply don't have. I'm comfortable medicating dogs and cats, administering treatments, bathing, trimming nails, and supporting animals through illness and recovery. I bring a broad working knowledge of both pharmaceutical and natural health interventions, and I'm deeply familiar with navigating complex health needs, from post-surgical recovery to chronic illness management. For over five years, I fostered dogs through the Terre Haute Humane Society, including puppies and adults with serious behavioral challenges, dogs who were facing euthanasia due to behavioral issues, and severely ill animals, including parvo puppies, which requires intensive, around-the-clock care and a steady nervous system. I also fostered adult dogs through For Paws Sake Canine Rescue and Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, and I've been an active exotic animal foster with the Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary since 2014, caring for rabbits and ferrets. I understand difficult dogs. Not in theory, but from real experience. I know how to read body language, set boundaries with compassion, and create safety for animals who don't trust easily. Every size, every temperament, every need. I've been there. I also bring a depth of care that goes beyond the physical. As an ordained interspecies animal chaplain, I hold deep reverence for the lives of animals and the people who love them, showing up from the joy of a new puppy to the grief of a final goodbye in a way that is interfaith, inclusive, and grounded in genuine care for the whole of a life. I am also a Level II Animal Reiki practitioner trained in the Let Animals Lead method, which means I offer animals choice, consent, and energetic support in a way that honors their autonomy and meets them exactly where they are. At home, I share my life with two dogs, Merlin, a GSD mix who is sensitive and intense and absolutely my heart, and Arthur, a small scrappy mixed breed who recently had a femoral head ostectomy and reminded me all over again what it means to care for an animal through something hard. They are my people. I am active, fit, and genuinely love a long walk or a full play session. Your dog will come home tired and happy. I promise. Your pet isn't a task on my list. They're the whole point. Pet care is not something I fit into my life. It is my life. I work fully from home, which means I am present, available, and attentive throughout the entire day. I am not leaving for an office or rushing between commitments. When your pet is in my care, someone who genuinely knows animals is home with them all day, every day. My routine is consistent and calm, which animals thrive on. I wake up early and go to bed early. Meals happen twice a day on a reliable schedule. Mornings are intentional and unhurried, which sets the tone for the whole day. I live in Norton Commons in Prospect, Kentucky, one of the most walkable and beautiful neighborhoods in the Louisville area. I have been known to walk nine miles a day with my dogs, and every dog in my care gets their own dedicated walk, at their own pace, on their own schedule. I walk dogs separately because each one deserves individual attention, their own rhythm, and their own time with me. That is not an inconvenience. That is just how I do it. For dogs staying in my home, we have a generous space, a calm environment, and two resident dogs who are well-socialized and accustomed to sharing their space with visitors. For cats, I have a dedicated room that belongs entirely to them, completely separate from the dogs. Their day includes multiple play sessions, consistent feeding times, and unhurried morning time with me, typically two hours, where I am simply present with them in their space. No rushing, no chaos, just quiet companionship and genuine attention. Whether you need me in my home or yours, the consistency, presence, and care remain exactly the same. Safety and trust are not afterthoughts in how I care for animals. They are the foundation. In my home, my environment is calm, intentional, and animal-centered. I live with two dogs of my own, which means visiting pets are welcomed into a space that already understands animal needs, respects boundaries, and moves at an animal's pace. I do not rush introductions. I allow animals to acclimate on their own terms, reading their body language carefully before asking anything of them. For animals who need separation, quiet, or their own space, I provide that without hesitation. In a client's home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I would want someone to bring into mine. I follow established routines closely, because consistency is safety for animals. I pay attention to the details, what a pet eats, how they move, what makes them comfortable, and what signals that something is off. I notice things. It is both training and instinct at this point. With my background in shelter medicine, informal veterinary support, and years of caring for animals with complex health and behavioral needs, I am equipped to handle the unexpected calmly and competently. I know when something is routine and when something needs attention, and I will always communicate transparently with you about your pet's well-being. My goal in every setting is simple: your pet should feel safe, seen, and at ease. Whether I am in my home or yours, that standard does not change.
About: Grew up with 2 dogs when I was kid. I can’t wait to take care of your dogs like they are my own family pet I’m currently active duty army. I am available all weekends. During weekday I can check on your fur baby after work around 5 o’clock. ❤️ I live in an apartment. I love going on walks and watching over pets. My home had nothing hazardous for them to get in to
About: I’ve got experience with pups of all personalities! From chihuahuas to pitties, I love them all. I have seen every episode of de Dog Whisperer, however I’m aware it doesn’t necessarily make me an expert in animal psychology. I’m physically fit and would love to walk and run around with your doggy companions! I have degrees in music (cello) and would be delighted to entertain your pets while you’re away. I also do weddings and parties, if you have one of those coming up. I have loads of experience with cats, as well. I’ve cared for diabetic cats and am very comfortable with injections. My only pet right now is my cat, Bert, who has special needs. All of his needs are met happily by me! If any of this sounds good to you, please give me a ring. I’m completely open for scheduling, so message me and we can set up a meeting! A history of the Swanson Family pets: Dagney (Husky mix), Brit (Britney spaniel), Gus (Boston Terrier), Joey & Franklin (cavalier King Charles spaniel), Moeby (Yorkie/Maltese), Henry (chihuahua/jack Russell), Gracie (catahoula leopard hound/pitbull), and Norman (Irish setter/retriever/chow). I also had a bird, Harpo, a hamster, Paul Daniel, and a cat, Lucy. I'm a musician and private teacher by trade. Right now I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to take on more pet care. My main priority is to maintain the safety of your pet. I'm happy to follow any routines of your household to maintain the comfortability of your pet.
“Julie has been amazing walking our pups!! Great communication and she sends wonderful photos! One of our dogs gets nervous around people sometimes, but she's been comfortable with Julie straight from the start 😃”
About: Myself & my wife, Madison, are both teachers with the entire days off at times. With that, we will be home with your dog most of the day (if not all day!). Your dog is welcome to roam the house and sleep on our furniture just as our own dog does if we are away - whatever you are comfortable with. We are currently a two dog home right now - we have a Kelpie-mix named Aero and mini-Daschaund named Winnie! They are both playful and loving dogs that will match your own's energy! In the past I have dealt with anything from puppies to rescue dogs (just like Aero). With Aero being a rescue dog, he did suffer from extreme separation anxiety at the beginning (no longer does) so I can accommodate your dog as needed if that is the case. Your dog will be taken care of just as well as Aero - like his short-term brother/sister - through plenty of playtime and treats (if they are allowed). They will also be allowed to sleep with us in bed, and on the furniture. We all can't wait to meet you and your pup! Myself & my wife, Madison, are both teachers. This means we have weekends, most holidays, and even the entire summer off. This allows us plenty of time to play with and cater to both our own dog and yours needs however is necessary! I currently have a full 7ft fence surrounding our yard with plenty of room for your dog to ZOOM! If we need more space, then I do have access to multiple dog parks, or can take them to my family farm to run around if okay with you. I will happily accommodate any rules and routines you have in place with your dog - from crating when leaving to not being allowed on the furniture to having to work on training by working for their food. I will always have open and honest communication with my clients, as well as provide constant updates on the well-being of your pup. We do also live within 5-10 minutes of multiple veterinarian facilities and emergency pet hospitals if anything were to ever happen.
About: I recently finished my Master’s Degree and am a mom to an almost 2 year old. I love animals. I have 4 of my own, and I have experience fostering. I am able to administer oral medications when needed and have experience syringe feeding kittens. I am currently stepping away from full time employment to spend more time with my kiddo, leaving me with more availability. i’m looking to step away from full time employment to spend more time with my kiddo, leaving me with more availability than normal. I care for my own cats multiple times a day. Pets in my home are spoiled rotten. They know when it’s night time and time to take care of their needs they get treats. They also get free roam of my house and all the attention they could possibly want (or not want). I can stay at your home or pop in for visits whatever you’re most comfortable with.

“They took really good care of my pups. Three weeks was a long time to be away from my babies, but they came back healthy and sound. Thank you for taking care of my pups!!”
“Alexis and Daniel (and their lovely dog, Josie) took great care of Duke. They had so many options to make him happy, including lots of outside/yard time and a comfortable indoor space. They accommodated a tricky request for me when I was in a pinch, and they communicated well with me before and during his stay. Thanks so much!!”
“They took such good care of our dogs! They sent us lots of pictures and kept us up to date on how the dogs were doing. One of my dogs can be temperamental with other dogs, but they made sure that he had his own space if he needed some alone time, so he was comfortable and happy. Both of my dogs had a blast playing with the other dogs and getting lots of snuggles!”
“Angela is the best of the best! Super easy to coordinate with, she took so many pictures of Yeti while I was out of town—it looked like he had an absolute blast. Cannot recommend Angela enough!”

“Beth was so responsive and provided great detail into any message she sent regarding Ivan. I never once had to message her first to ask how he was doing. She made sure to send me lots of messages and lots of photos and I felt very comfortable leaving Ivan in her care. would highly recommend her I cannot say enough good things.”
“Dan is amazing!! She went above and beyond and gave multiple updates each day with photos and how my cat was doing. Dan cared for her like she was her own and was very attentive to my cat’s needs and quirks. She was always on schedule with feedings and changing the litter. My cat thoroughly enjoyed spending time there and was living her best life! I will definitely Rover with Dan again. I would highly recommend Dan to care for your pet!!”

“Lauren is the epitome of professionalism with a loving touch for my two dogs that she took care of for 12 days. She sent me pics and updated me throughout their stay. I Could not have been more grateful and relieved by her care.”
About: I was a three times a day dog walker for an elderly neighbor. When she passed I took ownership of dog. Now I am looking for some new clients. I work from home and dog walk. I have the time to give to your pup tons of walks, play with them, and give lots of kisses. Fridays are dog park day! I can play with your dog in your home. Give your pup a break from the crate and have me walk and get play with your dog.
“We took an extended vacation and needed care for our 3 cats including one with special needs. Julia and her boyfriend took great care of our boys! They were calm and running around when we arrived to pick them up and all of the items nicely packed for an easy pick up. Definitely recommend for your fur babies! We will be rebooking in the future, thank you Julia!”
“Haley absolutely saved our life with a VERY last minute booking. She was super responsive, updated with photos, and was super close which made it the easiest experience possible. Cannot rave about her enough!!”

About: Hi, my name is Bill and I owned a dog daycare in Louisville for 10 years. I am now offering my exceptional dog care service in my own house. Your dog will receive the best care possible: lots of love and pets, walks, playtime in our fully fenced yard and their own suite to sleep. My clients tell me their dogs start wagging their tails and start barking with excitement as they turn on the street. We are dog owner ourselves with 2 pups and dog care is what we love to do! I can’t wait to meet your pup and treat them as my own! My service is 24/7. I am always home as my main focus is dog care. Your dog will never be left alone at my house. I’m happy to send pictures or video of your dog having fun while staying with me. I have a fully fenced yard in a safe and quiet neighborhood, but dogs are not let outside without myself out there with them. With owner’s permission they can go on safely monitored walks. Dogs are always separated during feeding times. Toys are out if everyone is toy friendly, but aggressive dogs are unfortunately not allowed for my safety and safety of dogs visiting.
“Jessica is amazing. When I picked Zeus up, all he wanted to do was sleep. It wasn't till the next day that he had any energy. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Great people, would leave my little buddy with them again! Sent pictures and got updates, everything you want out of dog sitters! Thanks again!!!”
