“Maria is an amazing sitter and I will be referring all my friends to her. She always makes gays very happy! He is always in a great mood when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up. And when I am away she updates me daily.”
“Krista was wonderful with my babies! This is my second time boarding with her and I’m already planning a third. Both of my babies are senior, but she is especially great with my oldest who has cancer. I highly recommend boarding with Krista! She is amazing!”
About: Me and my family have taken care of all kinds of pets for years: dogs, birds, and lizards. I’ve had dogs all my life, and others often rely on me and my daughter to take care of their pets! I’m working a part time job and also have to check in on my parents. I’m available after 4:40 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends I live in a safe, calm neighborhood with much space to walk pets if needed. I have a pet cockatiel which can be kept away from your pet if needed. If boarding, you’re welcome to bring a crate for your dog. My teen daughter lives with me. Please inform of me any specific requests your for little loved one!
“I'd giver her 10 stars if I could. Samantha was amazing. She sent regularly updates, without prompting, and pictures of my dog's day to day activities. She followed all of my instructions and asked questions when she had them. She was my very first and only experience with Rover and she did not disappoint. Her reviews do NOT lie. She is the best and I hope to use her, if available, in the future. Your dog will be in great hands with her AND, as an added bonus, she and her family are so sweet.”
“Outstanding!! I was very very last minute and Ebony still took our dog in for the day! He came back so happy and looked as if he had a great stay! Thank you again! Will use you again!!”
“This was my second time using Heather’s boarding service and as Always, it was a great time to know my boy is safe and having fun with her and her dog Remi! I’ll continue to use her services anytime I’m traveling out here! She is a wonderful woman who is for sure an animal lover and a great caretaker. She sends updates and pictures of how they are all doing! If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further. She is the one to use”
“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.”
“As always, our dog loves hanging out with Elizabeth and Phillip. I know he can be a handful but they don't seem to mind. Really appreciate their patience.”
“Shunita was amazing!! It was a last minute booking and she was very helpful and informative! Communication was great & I got videos daily, will definitely be using her again !!!”
“Bennae was very accommodating and kind. Chico returned home with the same mannerisms he left with. I will definitely be using Bennae again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Great experience”
“Melody took great care of our Kona Bear! This was the first time using Rover and the first time leaving our chocolate lab with a stranger. Melody spent a good amount of time with us for a meet and greet with Kona before her 3 night, 4 day stay and her four dogs and also sent us daily photos throughout her stay with Melody. This was a good time for Kona to socialize and play with other dogs.”
“5 STARS!!! Lynne was wonderful. My two small dogs, Lily and Leo enjoyed their stay and she gave them great care and love. I really liked that Lynne would contact me daily through texts with updates and pictures. She even took the time to brush them. I intend to contact her again when I need a pet sitter.”
“Beth was so patient and kind, I have never left my dog with a non-family member and she's a little codependent but Beth (and Tupac/Kiddo!) were so sweet and made her feel at home. She sent updates over the weekend and was amazing with our pickup/drop off schedule and my anxiety. Thanks so much!”
About: Hi! My name is Emm! I am a queer and queer-friendly person and active in my community. I have taken care of animals since I was 8. I raised puppies, walked massive dobermans, and at one point took care of 13 dogs at once! Feeding, watering, cleaning up after, walking, and loving your pet like you would are my top priorities. I lived with my father after becoming an adult and took care of his cat. Animals of all kinds are fine by me! I'm available at any time! When I am not working, I spend my time with my partner, listen to music, and practice my culinary skills. If I stay at your home, I will respect your pets and your things like you're my family. Your pets will be pampered and well cared for. I'll take great care of them, and give them plenty of love and attention.
“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.”

“Dawn is wonderful with my boys. She made every effort to befriend my very shy Finley. They are buds now and it took no time. Dawn is very knowledgeable with large dogs. She is also very dependable and communicates well when she is unavailable. WE LOVE HER!!”
“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”
“I wish I could give Jeannette more than 5 stars! Jeannette agreed to watch our indoor/outdoor cat and keep an eye on our chickens while we were away. I had no idea she had never been around chickens before—you would never have guessed! We had a hen sitting on a nest and had calculated that the eggs would hatch after we got home... we were wrong! While we were away, several chicks started hatching. Jeannette didn't panic—she jumped right in. She went out and bought supplies, made sure the chicks were cared for, and handled everything like a pro, even hatching 4 chicks at her house. She also completely won over our cat, who now seems to love her more than us! Jeannette went so far above and beyond anything we expected. She treated our pets as if they were her own, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were gone. I recommend her with my highest recommendation. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and will go the extra mile, Jeannette is the one!”
“We appreciate Samantha helping us out in a pinch. We weren’t getting good care for our handicat while out of town and she worked him into her schedule on short notice on the holiday weekend and gave him the quality care and playtime he needed. Great communication and professionalism. Highly recommend. ??”
About: I have always been known to be a pet lover and truly do care and love pets. I have pet sat since I was a kid and always try to give pets extra love and care while their family is away. I have had experiences in the past with dogs who are reactive, have health issues, or need extra patience and time. I trained my dog Bunny since she was 3 months old and am experienced with potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I also had an elderly 12 year old dog who has joint issues and needed extra help occasionally. I am able to give medicine or do any extra medical care if provided with instructions. I am a Direct Support Professional working with individuals with disabilities! My work schedule is the same weekly which can be beneficial with clients to communicate when they expect me to be with their pets. I have knowledge, patience, and love for pets who's owners may be worried about having a pet sitter due to their pet's reactivity, shyness, or extra needs. I can work with owners to find the best way to keep their pets feeling safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am good at getting dogs in crates and on walks. I love all pets, no matter what size and age.
“Brittney did a “great “ job taking care of my Cat Eddie.She was on time,very conscientious and Eddie loved her.She is truly great with animals...I would recommend her to anyone looking for a Pet sitter.”
About: I’ve always been around cats since I was a kid. I currently work nights at the Louisville Zoo. I have cat specific experience for 6+ years, involving cleaning, feeding, and administering medication.
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for cats and understand that every cat has its own personality, routine, and needs. My goal is to make every cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I provide dependable care that includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering oral medications when needed, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and plenty of affection—always at the cat’s pace. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and my commitment to treating every pet like family. I take the time to learn each cat’s routine, favorite toys, hiding spots, and any special instructions to help reduce stress while their owner is gone. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats, energetic with playful kittens, and gentle with senior cats who may need extra care and a slower pace. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages, so owners always know their cat is happy, healthy, and in good hands. I pride myself on being reliable, respectful of my clients’ homes, and focused on creating a calm, loving environment where every cat can feel secure until their family returns.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own personal pets since I was 11. I routinely cared for a special needs dog in which I learned to administer medicine to her as well as my own pets. I am currently a full time student, before and after classes I’m able to tend your pets and look after them. I am flexible in the mornings and evenings. Saturdays and Sundays i’m fully available to look after, walk, bathe, or take care of your pets. I can also take your pet to the vet, groomers or any appts if transportation is required I am available for two to three walks each day. Feeding and watering according to your pets normal schedule as well administering any medication they need. I’m also available for some grooming tasks such as brushing and bathing.
About: I’ve spent my entire adult life caring for cats, and at this point I speak fluent meow. Whenever a partner was out of town, I handled all the drop‑ins—providing belly rubs (but only when Her Majesty permitted), play sessions, cleaned litter box, and always sure there is a full bowl of fresh food and water. In short: I make sure every sweet baby feel like the royalty they clearly are.
About: Well I wrote a novel but it didn't save, lol, so let me just say that I've had two special needs kitties since I was 22 and I'm 50 now. We give daily baths and our two tuxie handicapable boys were and are loved and cared for like no other. Both have gone through multiple health issues, surgeries and MRIs, and there's nothing we wouldn't do for them! I give daily meds to our Fennie who has a degenerative cerebellar disorder (we drove to Chicago to adopt him). We have three sweet babies inside, two tuxie boys, Fennie & Andre the Giant Kitty, & a little, sassy, bottle baby black princess named Salem Winifred. All are under 5yrs old. We have two outside, if they show up to put house they never look back, and have everything they want and need. One we cannot touch, but both have heated cat houses and are just as spoiled. Squintsy & Bitties. Whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip, your cats will receive attentive, loving care in the comfort of their own home. I've had special needs babies for over 20yrs now, so I'm very experienced in tending to special needs & giving medication. Flexible scheduling available. Serving Shepherdsville and nearby areas. Send me a message if you'd like to discuss your cat(s) needs 🐱 I'll make sure everything is purrfect for your babies!
About: Taken care of and lived with multiple family dogs since I was a child but I’ve taken care of my own dog personally for the last 7 years. I currently only work 3 shifts a week so I am available to take care of and board your pets! I have a lot of free time which means your pet will have all the attention and love they desire. I live in an apartment, which means I have no fence in the yard, but there is a lot of open grass area near me.
About: I’m an animal lover of all kinds, but cats have ALWAYS held an extra special place in my heart! I’ve owned cats/kittens for as long as I can remember, and have plenty of experience with administering medications and caring for senior and special needs kitties, too! Families have trusted me time and time again to care for their feline babies because I treat every single one as if they were my own.
About: I’ve grown up with several cats in my life. My grandma was always known as the “crazy cat lady” in the neighborhood. I have met kitties with all different types of needs. Not many people understand how particular they can be, but I can ensure you I’ll do my best to accommodate every need!

I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available every day of the week!!! I will be available on weekends. I have a huge yard for your puppy to play safely and securely. I have many toys to relieve their stress!!! Your dogs will be on good hands
“Isbe and her daughter were welcoming and super friendly. We truly appreciated their kindhearted care of our very shy little dog. It was the first time we've given him to someone for daycare . He did great and we are so grateful to Isbe. We'd use her again in a heartbeat to care for our little doggie. Thank you so much, Isbe!!!”
About: **If you're new to Rover here's my promo code for $40 off your first request SAMANK93051** Animals make the world a better place. I love being able to work with animals so much. They just make my day brighter. I couldn't imagine life without them. Being able to work with animals every day is a dream come true. Not only do I enjoy doing this so much for myself but my 2 kids and my husband love doing along my side. We all make a wonderful team taking care of fur babies. Your fur baby will always be treated as if they were our own baby in our care. While you are away we will gladly take over on loving on them! I have had the pleasure of working for Rover for 3 years now. Working for Rover I have been around all kinds of fur babies from huge to tiny, from picky eaters to will eat anything lol. Working for Rover has given me the experience to know what to expect when caring for a baby since I've done it so much. I also have been caring for pets of my own for 9 years now. But have grown up around all kinds of animals. My first born son is a Doberman Pincher and he is a pretty big boy. He is the best dog ever! He's is like my shadow and follows me everywhere I go. He's great around other dogs. He will sniff like crazy but after that he just wants to play and go get his blankey. We live in an apartment and getting exercise isn't as easy as it is with families with a yard. But can't let that stop us. I make sure my baby gets the exercise and outside time he wants and needs. So I have made it my duty to help dogs who have the same or different obstacles in their way of enjoying there natural desire to be outside and to get the exercise they need to stay healthy. I am a huge dog lover and will go above and beyond to make sure a dog is happy, seeing them happy makes me happy. My dog has always been there for me and made me happy when I needed him, the least I can do is be there for all animals who need my help in making life more healthy and fun! I am available any day or time during the week and weekends. This is my only job and I am pretty flexible and willing to work with drop off and pick up times. I don't have a yard because I live in an apartment. But I can't let that stop me, I take my dog out to walk and play probably more than I should because we dont have a yard. He is a big boy and exercise is very important for him to stay healthy. So we go for long walks and I have a little yard outside my patio for emergency potty breaks. I also live right by the floor wall so we tend to walk it a lot my dog absolutely loves going up it. I am currently not working any other job so your doggy will be my main focus. I am available any time during the week and weekends just give me a shout and we will make something work. I live in an apartment so I walk my boy to go potty, play, or walk. I have a yard in front of my patio if we have a potty emergency. It is not fenced in so I will NOT have your baby off leash ever. I also can easily crate your baby in my XL crate if need be. E

Their care is simple but important, and I always keep their water, food and space clean and safe. I work part-time, so I have flexible availability during afternoons, evenings and weekends. Your pet will always receive attention, affection and the routine you request. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a lot of flexibility to take care of and play with your pets.

“Today was our Millie's first trip to Melody's for doggy daycare. She absolutely loved it and had so much fun. Drop-off and pick-up is easy and very secure with multiple gates.

“Jon was terrific at taking care of my baby he gave me regular updates and comforted during his anxiety during a storm I would definitely use him again when I need to.”
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?

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.

About: I have previous experience working at a dog boarding facility for 1 year. I have experience watching dogs for family and friends. I have 3 dogs of my own who are my babies.

I am free to stay overnight or come for day visits. I love to be outdoors with pups or spend time indoors snuggling and watching Netflix!
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.
About: I’ve always had a dog growing up, our family dog recently just died of old age.. and think it’s probably to soon to get another dog so we’re going to take baby steps. I’m currently working part time, I have a 4 year old son who loves animals so feel it would be great to take on pet sitting part time.. I have a spacious home & also a fenced in back yard for dogs to easily roam around and be comfortable inside or outside etc.
About: Pets are my world. I volunteered at an animal rescue for 8 years before I moved out of town. I had a 14-year-old rescue who was blind and diabetic. I gave him two injections a day and cooked his food every week. Let your pup be my new bestie. I currently do not have a set schedule so my schedule is pretty flexible to keep your babies company when needed even in short notice! I let them smell me each time and come to me when they are comfortable. I have no doubt they will warm up to me fast!

During the weekday afternoons, I would love to help check in, play with your pup, or give them a nice long walk! Communication is the most important thing. I will always follow the wishes of the owner to make sure your pets are cared for in the most consistent way possible. Your boundaries are mine, and I always act in the best interest of you and your pets!

About: Hi, and thank you for visiting my profile. I have been caring for animals since the age of five and have developed extensive hands-on experience over the years. I currently own and care for a variety of animals, including three horses, two sheep, a dog, three cats, a flying squirrel, and a chinchilla. This diverse background has given me valuable experience in handling pets of all types, sizes, and temperaments. I am confident in my ability to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care to animals of any age or breed. I am also skilled in basic training techniques and can assist with bathing and giving medications as needed. My approach is always patient and respectful, ensuring your pets feel comfortable and safe in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your beloved pets. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or specific needs. I currently work PRN at the hospital, which means I pick up shifts when I want to! My typical hours when I do work are 7pm–7am.

Whether I’m house sitting or just stopping by for a check-in, your dog will get plenty of attention and time outside. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with pets—whether that means playing, going for walks, or simply relaxing with some snuggles. I believe dogs deserve companionship and stimulation, not long hours confined to a crate. When they’re in my care, they’ll stay active, engaged, and loved—chances are they’ll be happily worn out by the time you return!

“Maria is an amazing sitter and I will be referring all my friends to her. She always makes gays very happy! He is always in a great mood when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up. And when I am away she updates me daily.”
“Krista was wonderful with my babies! This is my second time boarding with her and I’m already planning a third. Both of my babies are senior, but she is especially great with my oldest who has cancer. I highly recommend boarding with Krista! She is amazing!”
“I'd giver her 10 stars if I could. Samantha was amazing. She sent regularly updates, without prompting, and pictures of my dog's day to day activities. She followed all of my instructions and asked questions when she had them. She was my very first and only experience with Rover and she did not disappoint. Her reviews do NOT lie. She is the best and I hope to use her, if available, in the future. Your dog will be in great hands with her AND, as an added bonus, she and her family are so sweet.”

“Melody took great care of our Kona Bear! This was the first time using Rover and the first time leaving our chocolate lab with a stranger. Melody spent a good amount of time with us for a meet and greet with Kona before her 3 night, 4 day stay and her four dogs and also sent us daily photos throughout her stay with Melody. This was a good time for Kona to socialize and play with other dogs.”
“Beth was so patient and kind, I have never left my dog with a non-family member and she's a little codependent but Beth (and Tupac/Kiddo!) were so sweet and made her feel at home. She sent updates over the weekend and was amazing with our pickup/drop off schedule and my anxiety. Thanks so much!”

“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.”
“Dawn did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. We were gone for a week and she made sure to update me on how my baby was doing through texts and photos. She even cuddled her and bought treats when she wasn’t eating the ones I brought. She and her husband were amazing caregivers for my sweet fur baby. I never worried once about whether my baby was safe.”

“I had plenty of opportunities to interview sitters on Rover about taking care of my dog Donner for the time I spent (over a month) in Sheperdsville, KY. Chelsea and Chris stood out among the rest. When I picked up Donner on weekends, she always had a smile on her face. Moreover, the pets in the household (Winston and Nova) were friendly and loved to play. They are great people with a home and backyard fence well designed for taking care of canine visitors.”
