“We are so thankful for the outstanding care Julie and her son provided our dog Star! Julie kept us updated daily with fun texts and pictures and gave us such peace of mind that Star was having a great time without us! :) Julie's care is genuine and devoted. They went above and beyond to treat Star! I can't say enough good things about her care and communication.”
“Heather was amazing and I will definitely use her again. She was accommodating to my last minute request for boarding. She was also responsive when I reached out and had a very caring spirit.”
“Sharon did an excellent job watching our senior dog! She and her dog Wesley were super friendly and extra accommodating. Sharon sent frequent updates & pics and even bathed him one day when he needed a refresh. Sharon’s yard is perfect for dogs, very safe & fun to explore or sunbathe. Sharon also plays relaxing music for your dogs. Talk about a dog-cation!! You will not be disappointed booking Sharon, she is a highly skilled Dog Sitter and great with humans too!”

“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.”

“Aspen and her family took such good care of our boy, Fritz. He came home healthy and happy but we could tell he missed Aspen and her bunch, too! A +++++ Thank you, Aspen.”
“They did a wonderful job!! They really put my mind at ease. I was so grateful that they reassured me when I was worried about the flight delay. They also firmly reassured me and eased my anxiety about my senior dog, allowing me to have a wonderful vacation. And I loved their very clean environment where my dog was staying. I am grateful to have met such wonderful people after moving to this new place, and I feel like going on vacation in the future will be a source of joy rather than worry from now on. I highly recommend Rachel & Frank.”

“Erin and George have an awesome set up and are great sitters. My two teenage pups had a blast playing outside and getting 1:1 attention. I’d highly recommend!!!”

“Leslie provided drop-in visits for our cat for seven days and was fantastic. She was prompt and gave him lots of love and attention. Would definitely use her again.”
“We rebooked Allison for a trip we took— We highly recommend her! She’s is prompt every single day and takes the best care of our babies. She puts our minds at ease when we are away as we are very attached to our kitties. Do not hesitate to book her!”
“Desiree was great with my cat and is a really good communicator. This was my first time using a platform like this to find a sitter but she made the process easy and I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care.”
“Amber was once again amazing with my kitties. I came back to happy healthy well-fed kitties, and she made sure to keep me updated with pics and little blurbs about how the visits went. She also went above and beyond as always. 10/10 would book again.”
“Jorie has a delightful personality and genuinely cares for your pets. We have two cats that have very distinct personalities. Lexi is social until the end of the week when she just wants mom to come home. Dexter is really timid around people he does not know and for previous Rover caretakers he has only hidden. Jorie was so lovely he felt safe to come out and be photographed. 😻 She did a wonderful job and I highly recommend her!!”
“Elizabeth was great! I was out of the country and had another sitter who ended up needing to cancel her visits. Through a trusted friend I learned of Elizabeth and she answered the call! Took great care of my cats and went above and beyond normal duties including bringing in the mail and packages. I trusted the friend who referred me to Elizabeth and that trust was well placed.”
“Kaitlyn did an absolutely amazing job. I would go as far as saying above and beyond. I think our house is actually cleaner than when we left it lol! She is very communicative, responsive, sends updates, professional, and an animal whisperer. One of our cats eats for NO ONE but us, and on the first night Kaitlyn was able to get him to eat. She also came over for a meet and greet so the cats would be more familiar with her which was great. 10/10 would give more stars if I could and will for sure be using her services again in the future!”
“I am Very pleased with the care Kristen provided my cats. In addition to feeding and attending litter box needs, she also took the time to sit with my cats and provide them with some love and attention. The pictures received after each visit were greatly appreciated and helped me not worry about as much about them.”
“Liz was great watching our puppy!! This is our second time booking her. She took him on walks and sent so many pictures. She’s the only one that gives us true peace of mind when out of town. We will 100% book again, thank you liz!!!”
“This was the first time that I have ever done anything like this! And Emma was absolutely amazing. She was on time. She was compassionate and she treated my animals with a genuine love and compassion like I said this was my first time doing this so I was really scared. But she made me feel a lot better. She took pictures of all of my babies and updated me the whole entire process and everything worked out so good. I would definitely be using her again. She was amazing with someone that has a lot of anxiety she was able to calm that down, knowing that my animals were safe overall it was an absolutely great experience 10 out of 10. Thank you so much for watching my animals on the Fourth of July I know it wasn't long, but you still took the time out of your day to come watch my babies for 30 minutes and that means the world to me so thank you so much you're the best and I hope you have a happy fourth and if anyone is reading this, she is literally the best I would choose her over my family members any day”
“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 :)”
“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!!”
About: Whether it was my own cat or someone else's, I've taken care of cats which needed oral meds, flea meds, combing, nail trims. I'm currently learning how to give my own cat B-12 injections. I have also given her a bath with one of those "bags" you put them into. ;-) I often held a previous roommate's cat while she gave it fluids. I believe in scooping litter boxes 2x/day unless you're using non-scoopable litter, then just 1x/day. I like to clean out & disinfect litter boxes 1x/week. I provide fresh bowls 1x/day, fresh water & food 2x/day & treats as the owner deems appropriate. ;-) If the cat has a stroller it can be taken out in, I like to do that. I like to use toys or a ball to play with cats. I also give lots of pets & cuddles. We may even take a nap together! :-)
“Joanna had been so nice and loving to our kitties when we were away. She paid attention to every detail and took great care. She spent good time playing with my cats, petting them and giving them lots of love and attention. I was able to put my mind at peace, trusting Joanna with my fur babies. Totally recommend her. ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for well over 4 years and have had the pleasure of watching some of the sweetest pups. I’ve dealt with dogs on a schedule, some who require medication and those who just need some extra snuggles. I will take the time to learn the care your pet deserves. I work a full time job during the weeks but will ensure all pets are taken out before I leave and return as soon as possible to allow them to be taken out again, I spend my afternoons with the dogs and try to provide enrichment play so they don’t get bored. I’m available all day on weekends so the same things goes. I normally stay with at a clients home to ensure dogs have minimal stress dealing with new environments. I follow any schedule my client has given me, from early morning walks at a dog park or allowing them to roam their fenced in yard while I prepare any food or water that is left while I’m away. I enjoy playing with them in the afternoons and getting them tired and rewarding them with treats when necessary.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13 years old and have always had a deep love for animals. Over the years, I’ve helped rescue and care for many pups, giving them a safe, loving, and happy environment. Since high school, I’ve also provided trusted house sitting and pet care for families in my neighborhood, gaining experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and routines. I currently have two large dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger breeds, high-energy pups, feeding schedules, long walks, playtime, and maintaining consistent routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always treat every dog like family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and highly communicative, and I make it a priority to keep owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Whether it’s dog walking, overnight house sitting, administering basic care, or providing companionship and attention, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel loved, exercised, and stress-free in your absence. I am currently home from college for the summer and have plenty of free time during my day to take care of your pups! I am available to walk your doggo anytime during the day and want to make this process stress-free. If there is a time that your pup does better walking, I want to make that possible for you. For dog walking and pet sitting, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and comfortable experience for every pet. During walks, I make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and stimulation they need while also prioritizing safety and positive behavior. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including larger breeds, since I have two large dogs of my own. For pet sitting, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away by giving them plenty of companionship and attention. I’m dependable, patient, and highly attentive to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

“We were driving cross country and found Rachael so we could stop for dinner with family. Since we were not local we had no idea we crossed into a new time zone and we’re an hour late for drop off and pick up. I felt terrible but Rachael was wonderful with our pup and took great care of her. Would definitely recommend and send our pup to Rachael again. Thank you!”
“Such an easy experience for us! First pup, first time taking him somewhere other than home and Melody made the process seamless! She was very responsive to messages and very easy to communicate with. We will definitely use her again when we are in the area or need boarding. Our pup fell asleep as soon as he got in the car so I know he had a great time!”
About: Hi, I’m Shelbee—your pet’s next favorite human (and hopefully your go-to sitter, too)! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog loves long walks and endless games of fetch or your cat prefers quiet company and chin scratches, I’m happy to meet them where they’re are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel stressful because I’d feel the same way! That’s why I focus on making the experience as easy and reassuring as possible. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and honest communication, so you’ll never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I’m reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, so I’ll happily stick to your pet’s routine, administer basic care exactly as instructed, and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. My goal is simple: for you to leave feeling completely confident, and for your pet to have so much fun they can’t wait for my next visit. I can’t wait to meet you both! 🐾 I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which makes me available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and always aim to be dependable, communicative, and on time. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a walk, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby is a big decision, so I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and cared for.
“Robin was great! Our Ani loved her. She was organized and ready for her and flexible with changing timing of drop-off and pick-up. Nice communication throughout with a picture update per day.”
“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.”
“Jon inspires trust with his calm and gentle manner and great communication, and my two-year-old pup Edison immediately took to him. He had a great doggy day and we look forward to his future day and overnight visits with his new human pal. Thank you Jon!”
“Considering Baxter didn’t want to leave, I’d say he had an enjoyable time. Thank you for loving my big boy! I’m glad he had some playmates to enjoy as well. As soon as we got home, I think he was looking around for his new friends. You’ll see Baxter again!”
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.
“I’ve never had such a wonderful experience with someone watching my dogs and that includes family! I feel like both of my dogs were very loved and cared for even after they caused shenanigans!! You ever need someone to watch your dogs this is the place to go!! I work at a hospital so drop off was really early and pick up was late and they had no issues working with me.”
About: I cared for (and spoiled) many relatives' pets when they went on vacation through the years. I also lovingly cared for my elderly parents for over a decade. I am a creative and crafty person, and I enjoy painting, sewing, and gardening. Being home most of the time, I would enjoy the company of furry friends! I only use natural cleaning solutions in my home; pets are provided filtered water. Common sense safety precautions that would be taken with any pet or with small children are implemented.
“Jewels was amazing with Mya and this was our first time getting a sitter and she eased my mind with leaving her. Mya had the best time and came home so happy!”
“Tina was great! This was our first time with a new rover in a new city. She was very communicative, sent great photos, and flexible on a last minute booking. Her home has a great yard for a pup to roam. I would definitely book with her again. Felt very safe leaving our dog with her and her family :)”
“Jared and Waverly were so nice and great care givers. I loved that we video chatted in advance to meet and ensure a good match. They were super flexible and very easy to communicate with. We, and Glory, thank them for making us all very happy!”
“Meg took care of our 16 weeks pup, Sumo without any trouble. Not only that, I think Sumo had a great day at her place running around, and playing with Meg's dog. Communication with Meg was perfectly smooth. Very fast respond and flexible. We are glad we leave Sumo with her.”
“Kirsten is awesome! She took great care of my 12 week old puppy and made sure she was safe and comfortable. She has a nice fenced in back yard for the pups to play. Totally recommend!”
“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!”
“Stephen and Angela provided daycare for about 2 weeks for my pup. They took great care of him and were very understanding with schedule changes. I would recommend them!”

“Desiree was available for a last-minute booking and was able to accommodate my work schedule. I look forward to working with Desiree into the future! I have a high energy pup and I was nervous about him being with a new walker, but it seems like they got along really well.”
“awhh!!! she eased me nerves so good! she spent the extra time with my baby letting her play and get to know her!! my dog has a ton of anxiety and they are besties now!! so pleased with this experience!”
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
“Olivia was tasked with visiting and walking our dog while we were on vacation. She was consistently on time, extremely good with communication and obviously has a lot of passion for animals and this shows in the care that she provided for our dog Raya. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Olivia was checking in on her. We will book her again for sure!”
“Eleanor continues to provide meaningful care on my Zeke dog’s weekly walks and seamless communication surrounding all walks. We are grateful and happy to have her in our lives - as will you!”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".
About: I've been in the house/pet sitting business for a couple years now. I've worked in houses with anywhere between one animal to seven animals! I am absolutely open to exotic pets as well as I have a few of my own and would love to meet different species. I also worked in a zoo for 4 years, and currently work in a vets office, so I have plenty of different experiences. I look forward to meeting your babies:) I currently work at a vets office Thursday-Saturday from 9am-5:30pm (1pm on Saturdays), and volunteer Sunday nights, so I would unfortunately not be able to provide around the clock care. Otherwise, I am at the home all day! I am open to frequent walks, brushing, bathing, giving medication, and any other specific needs for your pet! I understand how tedious and picky some animals tend to be, so I'm open to any accommodations necessary.
“Liz was excellent with Sophie. She took multiple pictures, was flexible, and gave relevant information in her notes. She was by far my favorite Rover person and I would strongly recommend her. My Sophie really like her a lot!”

About: I am a dog mom to two dachshunds named Bexley and Maeve. Bexley and Maeve love to have visitors to share their toys and treats with. We live in a townhouse that has access to a fenced in backyard and a fenced in dog park. We also love to drive 2 minutes down the road for a long walk at Highview Park. I do work from home, so I can give your furchild all the attention he/she wants or needs, which is why I only take 1-3 small dogs at a time. Should you decide to pick our home for your furchild's stay, you can expect frequent updates with photos and/or videos. Overall, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furchild is well loved while you are away. 🩷 I work from home which gives me the ability to provide constant attention and care. My work hours allow me to prioritize exercise and extra cuddles on the couch. I have a fenced in backyard that has a doggy door for easy access. We like to take walks 3 times a day if weather permits. If the weather is bad, we love to play tag and chase balls inside. To wind down in the evening, we love to snuggle on the couch and watch movies. Overnight, the dogs are permitted to sleep in the bed.
About: Hello! I love looking after family and friend’s pets and would love the chance to do it more often. I’m responsible and caring and I will take very good care of your pets. Hi! I’m a flight attendant on reserve, which basically means I’m on call. So I’ll know a head of time the days I’m off for the following month. The days I’m call, I’ll usually be at home waiting around, so I’ll still be free to do pop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard for them to play in. I will walk them frequently. I will also make sure they are well taken care of and loved until they are back with you.
About: Hi there! I would love to make new connections for dog walking and pet/house sitting. I have had dogs of all breeds throughout my life! College educated in legal studies and work remotely in office admin. I am looking opportunities in Manhattan and surrounding areas. My clients will know a stable, professional, flexible and friendly caregiver for their animals. I have taken care of friends’ animals over the years with no issue and am very good at following detailed instructions on how to care for animals. I am very safe and take pets' health seriously. I have a trusted vet that can handle any emergencies if I do not have vet contact info for a client's pet. I am very interested in any questions or concerns or special pricing. Thank you! I’m currently working remotely, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets and stay at your residence full-time (if house-sitting). I have a very flexible schedule and can work with your pet-sitting needs almost anytime I’m needed. At this time, I can only care for your pets at your home if overnight stays are requested. I have my own transportation to come out and take your pets on a walk, to the park or keep them company while you’re away. Any detailed instructions on your environment will be followed diligently.
“Lauren is amazing! I have two dogs, a senior and a puppy, that have different needs. She worked with me to plan their walks and communicated wonderfully. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Lauren to help take care of your fur babies!!!”

About: Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded with pets and been given the opportunity to care for dogs numerous times. I am very patient with animals and genuinely find joy spending my time with them. After recently graduating from college and moving into a studio apartment, it has been an adjustment not being surrounded by pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to not only help others, but also to find fulfillment spending time with pets. Although I work a 9-5, I am willing to make plenty of time before or after work to accommodate your needs. I am a morning person, so I would be more than happy to take your dog on an early morning walk or be there to let them out. I also will be able to take care of them in the afternoon. My weekends are free to help at any time. You can trust me with your pet because I treat animals with the same amount of respect that I’d treat any person. It is my priority to ensure their safety while also having fun. I would love to take them on walks at the park and am open to having them at my apartment if needed.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was ten years old! Between looking after my own dog and my family's, I have the experience and love to make sure your furry friend gets the attention they deserve! I'm a middle school teacher in the Louisville area, so weekends are the best for house sitting and longer watching periods!

“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.”

“Aspen and her family took such good care of our boy, Fritz. He came home healthy and happy but we could tell he missed Aspen and her bunch, too! A +++++ Thank you, Aspen.”
“They did a wonderful job!! They really put my mind at ease. I was so grateful that they reassured me when I was worried about the flight delay. They also firmly reassured me and eased my anxiety about my senior dog, allowing me to have a wonderful vacation. And I loved their very clean environment where my dog was staying. I am grateful to have met such wonderful people after moving to this new place, and I feel like going on vacation in the future will be a source of joy rather than worry from now on. I highly recommend Rachel & Frank.”

“Absolutely wonderful! 5 STARS!!!!!!! She answered text quickly, and you could clearly see she loves her job and animals. She sent me videos, and praised our little strong willed shorkie. Her dogs welcomed our Louie with open paws! As doggie parents she completely put our minds at ease. Her home is very clean and set up where Louie could run freely!”

“Sylvie stayed with her for a long weekend, she was a happy puppy playing with Tonka and the other visitors during her time there. Very pleased with the care my baby girl got!!”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care Alexis and Daniel gave Kona. Their kids were so sweet with her, and their dog Josie was the perfect companion — gentle, patient, and great with a young puppy like Kona. Kona came home happy, relaxed, and so worn out from all the fun that she slept the entire day after we picked her up. Their communication and warmth made us feel completely at ease. Truly a 5-star sitter family!”
“Jewels was incredible watching Moose while I was away on spring break! She sent me plenty of updates and i got my dog back tired and happy. I will definitely continue using her❤️”
