“Our dog seemed so happy with Ebony! Ebony kept us updated and was super responsive. She was incredibly helpful in watching Cutie last-minute during a family emergency.”
“Elizabeth and Philip provided the best possible care for my senior dog. I highly recommend them and would have no hesitation in trusting them with my fur baby again.”
“Beth is excellent with my dog Deuce. So well cared for. He doesn't even act like he missed me. And her 4 year old son is a great help also! That is a total difference compared to leaving him at a high price dog hotel. Highly recommend her!”
“Great sitter! Kept me updated all the time and took very well care of my pup! He was very happy and had lots of fun! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”
“Sharon is absolutely amazing! My boy is a very anxious boy and has severe separation anxiety. Sharon had him so comfortable and settled almost immediately. I am so grateful to her for the care and love she gave Salem while I was out of the country for two weeks. Sharon provided me multiple daily updates complete with adorable videos of Salem. Her dog, Wes, was the perfect buddy for Salem too! Her fenced-in yard is fantastic for doggies to sniff and play in. I was so nervous to leave my boy for so long, but having Sharon as his sitter truly made all my worries disappear. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when I had a flight delay. I cannot recommend Sharon (and Wesley!) enough!!”
“Crystal was very trustworthy. She let me know how my dog Hollow was interacting on a daily basis. I felt that Hollow was in a very safe environment and I will use Crystal in the future and I’m sure Hollow would agree if he could talk. Thanks for allowing us to feel assured while we were on our vacation”
“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”
“Ziggy seemed to have a great time with Jeremy & Laura! It was only a short stay, but Ziggy seemed happy in the pictures I received from them. I’ll look to use them again in the future to dogsit!”
“Jamie, who goes by Lynn, was absolutely the perfect match for my dog. She is patient, kind and loving. She kept him the entire day and he was one happy dog when I picked him up. Lynn wanted to know all about him and any instructions for the day at drop off and she followed them perfectly. She has a fenced yard and they spent a lot of time out there. It is about a 20 minute drive for me and there are plenty of sitters closer, but I will continue to make the drive, because it doesn’t get any better than her.”
“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!”
“George and Erin were great with our puppy who is very energetic. Their yard is phenomenal, and their care was fantastic. We would definitely use them again.”
“Megan was such an awesome sitter! She was communicative, reassuring with photo updates, accommodating with our last-minute request & took such great care of our pups. Highly recommend and would book again!”
“Heather was wonderful! Mia had a great time playing with her and the other doggies. She took Mia like her own and even gave her a bath before we picked her up. Heather is very flexible and helped us not worry about nothing. When we picked Mia up, she still was jumping on Heather because she loved it so much!”
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“My maltese, Lily, stayed with Julie and her son. They were wonderful in every way! She sent me daily texts and cared for her like she would her own. Excellent experience! Highly recommend!!!!”

“Tara was great at communicating and gave excellent updates on our cat while we were out of town, allowing us to feel confident he was well taken care of- definitely recommend and will use her again!”
“This is my 5th or 6th time using Liz. Every time she sends good pictures and her communication is great! Fast responses, clear pictures and happy dogs every time. I don’t recommend giving short notices if you don’t have to but my job is last minute demanding and she’s been the best at responding last minute.”
“Ciara was wonderful! I made a mistake with the booking and she was understanding and flexible. She checked in every day and sent cute pictures :) will definitely ask her to be back!”
“Lauren has cared for our cat when we’ve gone out of town a few times now. She has been so easy to communicate with and has done a wonderful job taking care of her! We hope it works out to have her care for our kitty next time we need someone.”
“Maggie is very kind, knowledgeable, and respectful toward animals (and humans!) She gave excellent care to our two kitties and truly went above and beyond with their care. She checked in, sent updates. and pictures everyday, which were much appreciated. I felt very calm knowing she was there while we’ve been away. Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Lauran made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond when any issues came up. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Rhonda was an amazing caretaker for our cat while being out of town for a few days. She was friendly, responsive, timely, and provided excellent care services. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking on Rover!!”
“Eleanor is a cat whisperer!! One of our cats rarely likes new people, but by the end of Eleanor’s visits she was laying in her lap! Eleanor was amazing at catering to the individual needs of both cats. Our active cat got lots of playtime each visit. She was extremely reliable and responsive, and sent tons of photos of them having the best time 😊 We will absolutely be booking her again!”
About: ***PREFER LONG STAYS, ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR STAYS*** I’ve been a professional dogsitter through Rover for about three years! I’ve travelled all over the world loving on different kinds of critters, including my own childhood dog and one I adopted in Myanmar. I approach dogsitting with an open mind and a laid back attitude. I like to prioritize communication with my clients so they know their fur friends are safe and happy! I have a thorough list of questions to make sure that clients and I are on the same page about expectations! And I openly encourage questions from others. I love long stays where I can be comfy with pets, but I consider whatever comes my way. I just moved to Louisville and would love to get to know the area through taking care of your fam ❤️ I have one of my own recently, so I prefer them to meet before overnight stays, but I can deal in a pinch. Mine is quite friendly and I don’t like to host more than one other at a time! I like to stay booked as much as possible, but I just started a new job here and things are a bit chaotic. I have a preference for longer stays but will consider what comes my way. I try to keep my schedule updated as much as I can! So please reach out to schedule a chat or meet and greet! I do not plan to provide home services, but I am happy to give pets love at your house! I am pretty flexible on location.
“Bayley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She followed all the instructions on our guide, sent proof-of-life pictures on every drop-in, and consistently communicated about the timing of her visits. It was such a relief to know our fur babies were in good hands so we could enjoy our trip :)”
“We were very happy with William and our cat Toasty was too! William was quick to respond to the booking request and other communications. Our cat warmed up to him right away and he sent several pictures of them hanging out. Would definitely book with him in the future :)”
“she was great!! she watched my bunny for a week and i’m always very nervous about leaving him with people but she was wonderful, gave me daily updates and pictures and treated him with so much love like her own animals!! definitely will use her for the future.”

About: I’ve been passionate about caring for cats my whole life. I grew up on my parents’ farm, surrounded by a dozen outdoor cats, which taught me how to care for and understand their unique personalities. After graduating high school, I got my first indoor cat, Nagini, who deepened my love for feline companionship. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just making sure your cat feels safe and happy, I’m here to provide the same love and care I’ve given my own cats over the years!
“We needed a sitter a little last-minute for a trip, and I was so relieved Rover connected us with Blair. She was reliable, communicative, and I felt confident our dog and cat were in trustworthy hands. She even successfully convinced our dog to eat, and he usually goes on hunger strike when we're out of town! Thanks, Blair!!”

“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.”
“I'm thrilled to provide a glowing review for my dog sitter. If you’re nervous about finding someone to. Watch your fur baby, look no further! I’m so fortunate to have found Rachel to take care of my very hyper Labrador. . Sadie can barely contain her excitement the moment we turn onto her street. Would highly recommend her if you’re in need of a trusted and professional sitter. Her excellent communication skills gives me peace of mind. She has extensive knowledge about dogs which is reflected in her care, and also helping me with more effect tips for train my dog. I love receiving pictures and updates throughout the day while I’m at work ❤️”
“Eliane was so great! Bumi seemed like he had lots of fun and was well cared for. She was great at communicating and letting me know details of Bumi's stay when I picked him up. Would definitely have her watch him again!”
About: Hi, I’m Sam — a reliable pet caregiver with 116+ 5⭐ reviews, flexible scheduling, and a big heart for animals! I’ve been a dog walker + drop-in sitter for about 2 years, and pets bond to me quickly. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, affection, and lots of attention to safety. 🐾 What I offer: • Dog walking (short + long walks available) • Drop-in visits (feeding, potty breaks, playtime) • Medication given if needed • Puppy care + senior pet patience • Updates + photos every visit 📸 • Last-minute/same-day bookings welcome I love meet-and-greets, but I’m also happy to step in when you need help quickly. My goal is for you to travel or work stress-free, knowing your fur baby is safe, loved, and entertained. Experience: I’ve raised and owned 3 dogs over the years and currently share life with 3 hilarious cats who think they're dogs. Animals have been a major source of joy my whole life — caring for them feels natural, not like work. 💛 A typical visit/walk: We’ll get movement, sniff breaks, playtime, cuddles, fresh water, treats (if allowed!), and mental stimulation. I can reinforce training methods you’re working on too. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first — tell me their quirks, favorite toys, and any rules you’d like followed. I’m here to make your baby feel safe and happy while you’re away. 🐶 Let’s schedule a meet + greet — I’d love to care for your furry family member! I work from home, which lets me offer flexible visit times for walks and drop-ins throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care — and I do my best to accommodate same-day requests whenever possible. Safety and communication are top priorities for me. I love doing meet & greets so I can learn your pet’s routine, personality, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I follow your home guidelines, provide photo updates during visits, and ensure your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved every time.
“Kaitlan is very professional and communicated with me by text promptly every time. We are in a motorhome and use Rover to find out of town pet sitters so we can find a safe place for my pups to stay during the day while we tour different areas. She was great.”
About: I have animals of all kinds growing up! From a mountain lion, up to 7 dogs to reptiles! I have been exposed to it all and things rarely phase me! I work remotely so I am free almost all the time with a lot of flexibility for all your needs! I can work from anywhere so it is around your schedule and preference for the most part. When watching pets in a clients home I will follow their care guide and ask any questions as they come up! I will also thoroughly clean up any messes the pets may make in the home.

“Myrna is amazing! I can tell she really cares for the animals as much as I do. I HIGHLY recommend her if you can get her. Her space is great for our family additions.”

“Heather was awesome taking care of our pup! She set up a meet and greet for me to introduce my dog to her and her dogs since it was my first time doing doggy daycare. I would recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
About: I have years of experience providing reliable and passionate pet care for all ages and sizes. I am also experienced in puppy training, senior care, and providing medication if needed. I take the utmost care to ensure that your pup's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I work from home so I am flexible in that regard. I can take my work around any space if needed and work around your schedule. I clean up after pets thoroughly as well as provide them with lots of potty breaks and exercise. I never have them meet new dogs for their safety.
About: Hi! I cannot wait to get to know your pet! Learning their routines, behaviors, and boundaries helps me ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Making sure you return to exercised, well behaved, and happy pets is the always the priority. During inclement weather, I provide safe outdoor potty breaks, with indoor play like puzzles and scavenger hunts. Ensuring they're still getting to work out their energy and your money is well spent. I'm happy to help figure out which service is best for you and your pet. Please reach out with any questions. And I'm happy to set up a meet and greet so that I'm available to help out at a moments notice. I make my living providing pet care and housekeeping. Remember sleep away camp when you were a kid? Or that one really cool babysitter? That's what your pet's time with me will be like. Your vacation is also their vacation. Whether at your home or my own, walks, or drop-in visits, I provide regular updates and so many cute photos to help assure that they're in good hands. My home has a large, fenced in backyard for all the desired romps and squirrel chasing. I live in a beautiful, easily walkable neighborhood; which is great for multiple daily adventures, stopping to smell all the smells and learn safe social skills. Whether at my home or your own, I'd like to know what your pet's current routines are, and any anxieties you or they might have. I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.
“Breanna is great! We left our pup for daycare, she played, relaxed, and went on a walk. Breanna was very responsive and provided great updates. We would absolutely leave our pup with her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, have taken training courses, read books on positive training practices, and volunteered at shelters. I am a writer who works from home with a 3 year old 12.5lb playful doxie/terrier mix who needs walks early and often — so much of my day is spent on slow sniffaris and trips to the park. I live alone in a large apartment with several plush dog beds strewn about, so there is plenty of space to stretch and play — and my couch sits along three large windows where dogs can perch to watch the passersby. If your dog needs a sitter or a sleepover, I’d love to have them — and my little pup would love it even more. Since I’m around all day, I’m available to meet your dog’s special needs — administering medicine, adhering to feeding times, playing tug of war, whatever the case may be. We have warm and happy home full of natural treats waiting for you and your dog. I work from home and so am available to fulfill your dog’s needs without bother! I never leave my own dog for more than a few hours at a time so you can rest easy knowing your dog is getting the focus and energy they need. Dogs in my home get many daily walks, at least one trip to the park every day — and most of all sensitive and informed care. My family makes fun of me for how attentive I am to my own dog, brushing his teeth and treating him with healthy snacks, watching him closely for changes in behavior and physical afflictions. Your dog would receive the same care (plus or minus the teeth brushing). And you will receive as many photos as you can handle ensuring they are having fun.

I have fostered both puppies and kittens I work from home full-time so I can give your pet plenty of potty breaks and give them a walk on my lunch if needed I have a fenced in yard that your dog can play in. I also live close to a park that we can go to. I have a friendly German shepherd who likes to play with other dogs. I will treat your pet like they are my own and let them make themselves at home.

About: I’ve always been the one friends and family when they need someone to love and care for their pets—and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Spending time with animals is something that genuinely makes me happy. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, which means I have plenty of extra love, attention, and energy to give to yours. Lots of Free Time, with a Flexible Schedule I work part-time, which gives me the best of both worlds—structure and plenty of free time. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for your pup throughout the day, during evenings, and even at those odd or last-minute hours. Whether you need regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I have the time and commitment to make sure your dog feels cared for and never rushed. My Care Style Your dog’s comfort and happiness always come first. When they’re with me, they’re treated like part of the family—lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention included. I’m happy to follow your routines and preferences so your pup feels right at home, no matter where they are. Special Requests Every dog has their own quirks, routines, and favorite things. Please share any special requests or details about your dog ahead of time—I love learning what makes each pet unique and will do my best to keep their days feeling familiar and full of love. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to care for your pup even at the odd hours. With my flexible schedule you can rely on me to be there even in the tight times. Your fur baby will get plenty of love in my home between me and my friendly cat, Ambrose. I will usually let them roam free around the apartment and on my furniture unless otherwise noted. Basically, you tell me what it is you need from me at my home or yours and I will make it happen.

“Lauran was fantastic while I was visiting Louisville for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby weekend. Her communication was top notch, always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the two days. I especially appreciated her flexibility when I needed to add an extra walk at the last minute, she was incredibly accommodating and handled it without any issues. It’s a huge relief to find someone so reliable and easy to work with when you're visiting another city for an event. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a professional and adaptable walker!”

About: I have been an animal lover, animal rescuer and pet care taker all my life. I have walked dogs, and cared for cats since I was a child. I currently have a special needs cat, plus two others high needs(spoiled) kitties. I have a good deal of experience medicating and caring for cats and dogs. I walk my parents’ dog for them daily. I took care of a neighbors cats for her while she was traveling for almost a year. Your animal babies will always be safe and cared for with me. I am currently an online ESL instructor for JCPS. I work from home part-time. I also need to be able to medicate my own epileptic kitty at 9 am and 9 pm every day. My schedule is very flexible around these reaponsibilities. I am an experienced, responsible and caring dog walker. I can provide pets with care and company in their homes in whatever way is the least disruptive and the most comforting to them.
“My dog loves Grace. He is a 70 lb Lab & walks easily with Grace. She is always on time & posts pictures of their walk & records what "business" got done. I'm very happy with my decision to hire Grace.”

About: Taking care of pets is not just a responsibility—it’s my passion! Whether it’s long walks, fun playtime, or lots of cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a hybrid work schedule that lets me work remotely half the week. On the days I go into the office, typically Monday through Wednesday, I can easily return home during lunch since my office is just a few minutes away. I have a cozy home with a fenced-in patio and it’s located just minutes away from several beautiful parks. At home, I share my space with my sweet cat, Nagini. If needed, I’m happy to keep your pet comfortably separate to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting dogs and cats since my early teens. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and medical needs, including diabetic dogs requiring insulin injections, blind dogs, pets with seizures, and dogs with mobility and potty issues. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing extra patience and attention to senior pets or those needing specialized care. I’ve also fostered dogs and cats through my local shelter, caring for everything from puppies and kittens learning the ropes to senior dogs needing diapers and additional support. My experience fostering has helped me become adaptable, calm, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently have two dogs of my own, Murphy and Lucky, they are my whole heart and I love every pet I care as if they were part of my family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work overnight shifts from 9pm–5am, Monday-Friday, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule. I’m able to adjust my sleep schedule as needed, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, medication administration, playtime, and overnight care. In my home, I do my best to create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can feel relaxed, cared for, and entertained. I have a fully fenced-in yard that backs up to a park, which gives dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. I also have a separate guest room available if an owner prefers their pet to have their own quiet space during their stay with us. I understand that every pet has different routines and comfort levels, so I try to keep their schedule as consistent as possible with feeding times, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I’m happy to accommodate senior pets, puppies, and pets with medical or mobility needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment while keeping up with their normal routine and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I always treat both pets and homes with respect and care, and I know how important communication and reliability are while you’re away from your pets. I love to send parent’s updates on their babies and we can work out details on how frequently you would like pictures sent!
About: LGBTQ+ and all inclusive! I’ve been around and caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me early on how to understand their behavior, respect their space, and build trust with them. I’ve always felt a natural connection with animals, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or somewhere in between. I’ve also handled daily care routines like feeding, potty breaks, administering oral medications, and basic grooming. Whether your dog wants to play, explore, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the whole time. My goal is simple: happy dogs, wagging tails, and peace of mind for you. I work part-time early mornings (1 AM – 5 AM, Monday through Friday), so my main availability is typically from 2 PM to 1 AM. I’m a great fit for afternoon, evening, and late-night care. I can also do early morning visits right after my shift if needed. I keep a consistent schedule and do my best to stay flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs! I take a lot of pride in caring for my own pets and making sure they’re always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I stay consistent with feeding, playtime, and giving them attention, while also paying close attention to their behavior and needs. I treat every animal with patience and care, and I bring that same mindset into how I care for others’ pets.

I'm comfortable with: ✔️ Dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes ✔️ Senior pets or those with special medical needs ✔️ Puppies and high-energy pets ✔️ Flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings when available Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away!

I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and flexible with last-minute requests. Caring for dogs and cats isn’t just part of my routine, it shapes it. I love giving pets one-on-one attention and helping busy owners in the DMV feel at ease. I take pet safety and trust seriously, whether caring for pets in your home or mine.

“Ziggy seemed to have a great time with Jeremy & Laura! It was only a short stay, but Ziggy seemed happy in the pictures I received from them. I’ll look to use them again in the future to dogsit!”
“Jamie, who goes by Lynn, was absolutely the perfect match for my dog. She is patient, kind and loving. She kept him the entire day and he was one happy dog when I picked him up. Lynn wanted to know all about him and any instructions for the day at drop off and she followed them perfectly. She has a fenced yard and they spent a lot of time out there. It is about a 20 minute drive for me and there are plenty of sitters closer, but I will continue to make the drive, because it doesn’t get any better than her.”
“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!”
“George and Erin were great with our puppy who is very energetic. Their yard is phenomenal, and their care was fantastic. We would definitely use them again.”
“Heather was wonderful! Mia had a great time playing with her and the other doggies. She took Mia like her own and even gave her a bath before we picked her up. Heather is very flexible and helped us not worry about nothing. When we picked Mia up, she still was jumping on Heather because she loved it so much!”
“Eliane was amazing!!! She made us feel so comfortable and provided regular updates with great photos. She took our dog on long walks and spent quality time with her throughout our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog!”
“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 ♥️”
“Ryo was fantastic with our Beagle, Maple. He was incredibly patient and kind and made our dog feel right at home. We would love to work with him again in the future!”
“Madison did such a great job watching our dog Bucky over the weekend. Her communication was great and she treated our dog like her own. Definitely recommend Madison and will book with her again! Overall great experience.”
“Patrick was great! Prompt communication and plenty of picture updates on Guthrie, who looked to be having the time of his life. I swear Guthrie was positively beaming when I picked him up! The afterglow remains several days after.”
“Kaitlin and her pups were amazing with our golden Marty. We contacted her on pretty short notice as our plans changed while in town and she was very easy to communicate with throughout the process. Marty enjoyed her time there and would highly recommend Kaitlin.”
“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.”
