“Beth took amazing care of Monty! He got plenty of exercise and attention and I got plenty of updates while I was away. It was clear when he got home that he was far happier than when I've had to kennel him on trips. I would definitely call Beth again when I go out of town.”
“My wife and I had a weekend trip planned and the person that was set to watch our dog had a last minute emergency. I sent a message to Elizabeth and Phillip and they responded within minutes. Our dog is 7 months old and it is only the second time we have left him. The first time was at a kennel and we really wanted a home environment for him. Elizabeth and Phillip provided great care. They sent daily pictures and updates. He must have had a great time because after picking him up he slept most of the day. We will definitely be calling them again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Sharon was absolutely fantastic with our goldendoodle! This was our first time using Rover and the experience couldn't have gone any better. Sharon eased our worries with consistent communication, daily photos and videos. She promptly replied to our messages and questions. We were excited to receive daily photos and updates while on vacation. Most importantly, our fur baby was in a safe, calm and loving environment which enabled us to enjoy our vacation. Thank you Sharon for ensuring our baby was happy. We will definitely be boarding Beau with you in the future!”
“Heather was absolutely fantastic. She was easy to communicate with and readily available for any questions. Our little guy had so much with Heather. She sent pictures and videos, daily, which was a nice touch. We will be booking her again. Highly recommend.”
“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 ♥️”
“As always, our little girl loved staying with her doggie friends and Rachel. We were able to enjoy a fall beach trip knowing that she would be well cared for. Rachel supplied us with frequent photos and news about how Bailey was doing. We will be using her again for doggie day care and boarding. She is the best!”
“This kind family that just moved to town took in Doogal at the last minute. Alexis and all the children were sweet to our big furball and communicated regularly on his antics. They’ve earned the trust of many dog owners and I would absolutely ask them to take care of Doogal again.”
“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.”
“Chris was very responsive to my initial message and made the meet and greet so easy and pleasant. While I was out of town Chris responded to my check in messages and would send along videos and pictures of my Boxer, Artie. He eased my mind and I felt very comfortable and confident Artie was in good hands and would be very well taken care of and loved. I would recommend Chris and definitely plan to use him again!”
“My Wilson was wonderfully taken care of by Sarah and her family, and their two pups were great with him, as was Butcher the pig. I will ask Sarah if she’ll be able to board Wilson again next time I have to go out of town.”
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.
“I had a great experience with Brittany! She was so kind and attentive, she sent me daily updates and the cutest pictures of my dog. I also really appreciated that she offered pick-up and drop-off—it made the whole process super convenient. It seemed like my dog genuinely enjoyed his time with her, and I loved that she only takes one dog at a time, so he got plenty of attention. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Stephanie was great with Henry! He had a great time and I can tell he was well taken care of! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos!”
“Our dog had a fabulous stay with David and his family. They are experienced pet people and very friendly. Our year and a half year old Maltese had never been away from us before and he did great staying with David for a whole week. I definitely recommend him and I plan to use David again.”
“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!!”
“Well wut can I say, besides these two were heaven sent, & we dnt play about heaven or Hershee!👀😂 But no seriously, Hershee (our black lab) had just turned 4 yrs old (Aug 21st) the day b4 we found the app & dropped him off to these beautiful folks, Jeremy & Laura (& their sweet sweet little bundle!).. Being that this was our 1st vacay away & Hershee's very 1st time w/out us in his 4 yrs of life, I think it's fair to say we were all a lil nervous at first (especially leaving him w/almost perfect strangers). Except Jeremy & Laura were no strangers at all, not to Hershee anyway! The way they opened their arms, home, & hearts to him, w/zero hesitation! This in fact, helped to lift our reluctant hearts as it pertained to leaving him ANYwhere (as 1st timers we didn't really kno wut to expect). But these two most def put to rest any apprehension we may have had due to our lack of experience w/any app regarding pup sitting. All in all, they kept us updated of his every like & dislike from the jump, only he didn't have any dislikes!😂 Hershee apparently felt right at home the moment the door was opened & he spotted their little one!🫶🏾 It was all giggles & plenty of kisses from that point!☺️ Laura & Jeremy's home was more than welcoming & inviting, which was great bcuz again, Hershee is known to b a bit anxious when it comes to unfamiliar surroundings/ ppl. However, these good ppl were very familiar to him, bcuz I think he seen just that (the good in them!) Thank u Laura & Jeremy for being everything we needed for Hershee over the weekend, & giving us the peace of mind to just BE & just enjoy ourselves while we were away!🫶🏾”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. Stephen & Angela were great helping me feel at ease with the service. We did a meet & greet with our doggies. And Merlie & Cinnamon were very well cared for!! Thank you so much and I highly recommend!”

“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
“Desiree took such wonderful care of my kitty girl while I was out of town! She got plenty of playtime and tons of pets. She was so loved on while I was gone and I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Taylor is fantastic! She follows through with our personal requests and frequently goes above and beyond. She’s also helped us out in a pinch when flight delays have forced another visit. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“This was my second time booking with Lauran, and once again she was absolutely wonderful! Having someone I can trust with my two cats gives me so much peace of mind while we're away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, made sure my cats were well cared for, and even managed to earn the trust of my very shy cat, which says a lot! It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
“Rhonda is an absolute gem! She followed our care instructions to a T, and every visit came with thoughtful updates and sweet little descriptions of what my baby girl was up to. The photos she sent were seriously amazing, I looked forward to every single one. It’s clear she genuinely loves the fur babies she cares for. I’d rebook with Rhonda in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation!”
“Heather and her kitties, Bessie and Sophie, were absolutely wonderful hosts for my cat, Catrick! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Heather’s spacious home, complete with a fantastic cat tree, gave Catrick plenty of room to explore and play—he seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. Watching Catrick’s relationship with Bessie and Sophie evolve was such a treat, thanks to the daily photo updates Heather sent. She kept me informed every step of the way, and her thoughtful updates truly made my day. It was heartwarming to see how well they all got along—though I think the kitties were a little sad to say goodbye! I will absolutely be using Heather again, not just for her incredible care but also for a chance to reunite these adorable cat friends. Highly recommend!”
“Tara did a great job checking in on my cat, Charlie. She showed up when she said she would, provided summaries of her visits, and included several pictures with every visit. She also mixed my cat’s medicine in with his food as instructed and left all the containers rinsed and stacked neatly in the sink. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Mary is amazing and I am so thankful for her care of my two kitties! She takes amazing care and is very thorough in her notes after doing a check in, and send lots of photos! 10/10 service.”
“Alan was excellent with my cat's and provided great communication! Rory is usually very shy and won't come out for anybody but he was able to coax him out and give him some pets! 🥰”
“One of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. Always very responsive, works well with our cats, and helps clean up if the cats makes a mess. We recommend Sam to anyone who has a pet.”
About: Once I met my first cat, up close at a friend's house during college, I fell in love! While I love all animals, including dogs, cats have the ability to really teach us how to meet others on their own terms. I've had pet cats since college, and have cared for many others, including diabetic cats who needed daily insulin shots. I'm also a big fan of Jackson Galaxy (of Animal Planet and YouTube) and have found his work invaluable, especially in dealing with mult-cat households. I've had elderly cats and cats with advanced chronic kidney disease (where we administered daily subcutaneous fluids). Your sweet babies will be in the best care with me, as I love and respect each one for its own beauty and dignity.
“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”
“Jewels was great with my two cats! She sent pictures with each visit. She played with my cats and gave them some fresh air on the balcony. It felt great knowing they were well cared for while I was out of town.”

About: I have experience with both young and older pets. With puppies and kittens, I stay consistent with routines and can help reinforce basic training like potty habits, feeding schedules, and positive behavior. For senior pets, I’m gentle and attentive to their needs, whether that means giving medication, moving at a slower pace, or just providing extra comfort and companionship. I also make sure pet owners feel at ease by keeping communication open—I can send updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, and I’m consistent with routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra visits, longer walks, or special care. I’m reliable and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and kept on their normal routine. I follow all feeding instructions, give fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of exercise and attention. I also provide playtime, affection, and calm companionship so they feel at ease while you’re away. I keep the space clean and always respect the client’s home just like it’s my own.
“Max is awesome. Kept me informed daily of Etta’s day. He clearly loves dogs!! He is gentle and kind to my baby. She liked him right away. He even wrote a poem about her!! Just loved everything about this experience 💕”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Macy was absolutely amazing with Bruno! She cared for him for an entire week with so much love, patience, and confidence. Every morning he was genuinely excited to see her, and that gave me so much peace of mind. As the owner of a 120-pound dog, it isn’t easy to trust someone else with him, but I felt completely comfortable leaving my big baby in Macy’s capable hands. She handled him with confidence and kindness, and it was clear she truly cared about him. She was also incredibly flexible and gracious as my schedule kept changing, pivoting without hesitation and making the whole experience stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Macy and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Angela and Stephen are so great! My two littermates had a great time playing with them today. They have a great backyard and live in a super cute quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood.”
About: I’ve had pugs for over a decade and a French bulldog briefly. I’ve sat for my friends and cousins corgis, golden retrievers and Boston terriers. Love the snores, the drools, and cuddling with them. Dogs are always welcome on my furniture and in the bed. I enjoy pampering them with belly rubs, butt scratches, massages and just goofing around with them. I work different jobs and at times have flexible schedule. Also I work close to my home so it’s easy for me to come home and check on the guest doggies at home if needed. I stay in a condo building and I can walk them (on leash) around the condo. My condo complex has a nice walking path for dog walks and it is a fairly quiet with very little traffic. Plenty of green space around. I have a small fenced in private yard too.
“Chris and his family were so great to work with! He kept me updated on how well the dogs were playing and even sent pictures when my dog, Jasper, picked up his kids from school. So cute! I would highly recommend!”

“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!”
“Desiree was absolutely wonderful with my Siren. She is the dog walker you dream of having walk your dog. It's clear that Desiree is a dog lover and only has your dog's best interest at heart. I highly recommend her and have already to all of my friends in the Louisville area. She's very accommodating very prompt and professional. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Justin was fantastic! He came to walk my Great Pyrenees, Boo, who can be reactive to other dogs on walks, and I immediately felt confident leaving him in Justin’s care. Before the walk, he took the time to ask questions. Justin was incredibly kind and patient with Boo, and it was obvious that Boo had a great time! He even came early in the morning to help us beat the summer heat, which I really appreciated. After their one hour walk, Boo came home happy, relaxed, and tired! I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and knowledgeable dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

“Beth took amazing care of Monty! He got plenty of exercise and attention and I got plenty of updates while I was away. It was clear when he got home that he was far happier than when I've had to kennel him on trips. I would definitely call Beth again when I go out of town.”
“My wife and I had a weekend trip planned and the person that was set to watch our dog had a last minute emergency. I sent a message to Elizabeth and Phillip and they responded within minutes. Our dog is 7 months old and it is only the second time we have left him. The first time was at a kennel and we really wanted a home environment for him. Elizabeth and Phillip provided great care. They sent daily pictures and updates. He must have had a great time because after picking him up he slept most of the day. We will definitely be calling them again the next time we need a sitter.”

While I was out of town Chris responded to my check in messages and would send along videos and pictures of my Boxer, Artie. He eased my mind and I felt very comfortable and confident Artie was in good hands and would be very well taken care of and loved. I would recommend Chris and definitely plan to use him again!”

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.
“I had a great experience with Brittany! She was so kind and attentive, she sent me daily updates and the cutest pictures of my dog. I also really appreciated that she offered pick-up and drop-off—it made the whole process super convenient. It seemed like my dog genuinely enjoyed his time with her, and I loved that she only takes one dog at a time, so he got plenty of attention. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Stephanie was great with Henry! He had a great time and I can tell he was well taken care of! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos!”
“Our dog had a fabulous stay with David and his family. They are experienced pet people and very friendly. Our year and a half year old Maltese had never been away from us before and he did great staying with David for a whole week. I definitely recommend him and I plan to use David again.”
“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!!”
“Well wut can I say, besides these two were heaven sent, & we dnt play about heaven or Hershee!👀😂 But no seriously, Hershee (our black lab) had just turned 4 yrs old (Aug 21st) the day b4 we found the app & dropped him off to these beautiful folks, Jeremy & Laura (& their sweet sweet little bundle!).. Being that this was our 1st vacay away & Hershee's very 1st time w/out us in his 4 yrs of life, I think it's fair to say we were all a lil nervous at first (especially leaving him w/almost perfect strangers). Except Jeremy & Laura were no strangers at all, not to Hershee anyway! The way they opened their arms, home, & hearts to him, w/zero hesitation! This in fact, helped to lift our reluctant hearts as it pertained to leaving him ANYwhere (as 1st timers we didn't really kno wut to expect). But these two most def put to rest any apprehension we may have had due to our lack of experience w/any app regarding pup sitting. All in all, they kept us updated of his every like & dislike from the jump, only he didn't have any dislikes!😂 Hershee apparently felt right at home the moment the door was opened & he spotted their little one!🫶🏾 It was all giggles & plenty of kisses from that point!☺️ Laura & Jeremy's home was more than welcoming & inviting, which was great bcuz again, Hershee is known to b a bit anxious when it comes to unfamiliar surroundings/ ppl. However, these good ppl were very familiar to him, bcuz I think he seen just that (the good in them!) Thank u Laura & Jeremy for being everything we needed for Hershee over the weekend, & giving us the peace of mind to just BE & just enjoy ourselves while we were away!🫶🏾”
“This was my first time using Rover.com. Stephen & Angela were great helping me feel at ease with the service. We did a meet & greet with our doggies. And Merlie & Cinnamon were very well cared for!! Thank you so much and I highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Cody was absolutely AMAZING!! He was very quick with replies and followed my care instructions very well. Sent updates often with pictures. Highly recommend!!!”
“Nissa took such wonderful care of our dogs! They had so much fun and I loved all the thoughtful updates while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing they were in great hands!”
“Bram and Bea had a wonderful time. Jared and Waverly truly love dogs and sent me all sorts of pictures and videos every day. I will definitely use them again!”
