“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kylie watched my dogs and stayed at my home for a week, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. My dogs were so comfortable and content when I returned because she made sure they never felt alone while I was away. She clearly gave them so much love, attention, and care. She also took wonderful care of my home. Everything was clean, organized, and exactly as I left it. During the week, an unexpected water issue came up, and Kylie handled it with grace, professionalism, and excellent communication, seeing it through until everything was resolved. Kylie is dependable, caring, professional, and genuinely goes above and beyond. I am extremely happy with her services and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”

“Mackenna was amazing with my Australian Shepherd while I was on vacation. From the moment they met, he was totally at ease with her, which isn’t always the case with him. She sent me regular updates, which I really appreciated, and communication was super easy the whole time. Knowing he was in such good hands made it so much easier to actually relax and enjoy my trip. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that made all the difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust!”

“Sarah is consistently a rockstar! We appreciate all the help she gives us when we have out of town commitments and our fur babies look forward to hanging out!”

About: I grew up on a farm in NC surrounded by animals, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I recently moved to Lexington with my husband, who is a veterinarian, which has given me an even greater appreciation for pet health and well-being. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or somewhere in between, I'll provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply providing companionship, I follow each owner's instructions closely and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a pet owner myself to an 11½-year-old Maltipoo, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member.
“Brooke was great! She updated me all during my trip and sent pics every day! The pips were well taken care of and she even went above and beyond so I came home to a clean house. We will definitely reach out to Brooke again if needed!”

“Hannah was so great with Daisy! She followed all of the instructions we left and made sure to bond and make Daisy feel comfortable while my husband and I were gone all week on vacation. She provided us daily updates with pictures and was very communicative, which made it so much easier to be away from Daisy for a whole week. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone needing a gentle and attentive dog sitter!”

“Cadence was a great sitter! She was very responsive and kept in touch while I was gone with updates and pictures. Came home to a happy pup! Will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over a decade. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can administer medication, as needed. Comfortable walking a variety of sizes and ages with a collar or harness. Most of my dogsitting experience has been with senior dogs so I am happy to accommodate their special needs. I work full time but have a remote position, allowing for dog and cat sitting at guest’s house - and I’ll be home all day! I am also available for walks and drop ins. I will follow all instructions, as presented. Whatever your pet’s personal quirks may be, I’m ready to meet their needs. I am happy to maintain their normal routine.
“Dave was absolutely great and totally crucial to my happiness during my 2 week vacation. Not only is he punctual, reliable, and communicative, he is an animal lover. He loves the animals and they love him too. I got home to happy and healthy animals which is one of the best gifts I could have received. He consistently sent me photo updates of all my animals. He developed personal relationships with each of my 3 animals and knew their personality traits within a couple days. I will definitely be using him again. I very much recommend using Dave!”

About: I grew up with dogs. As an adult rescued a dog, worked w rescues for over 10 yrs. Fostered rescues, worked at animal shelter. My own dogs I show and personal service train for me. I work full time at night and have time days and evenings for your fur babies. Work anytime around both yours and my schedule too. Because I live in apartment, I have fenced park to play. Play with my dogs too. Can be crated for safety too while I work. I have cameras on my dogs at all times for safety.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 8 years through family, friends, and by helping manage my sister's Rover clients. During that time, I've gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and care needs. One of my greatest strengths is working with senior pets. I helped care for and train my own dogs throughout their lives, including into their senior years at ages 15 and 17. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring health, and providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for pets that require intensive monitoring and strict medication schedules. I understand how important consistency is when a pet has medical, age-related, or special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications as directed, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I've assisted with dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, specialized care, or simply a calm and caring presence, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind during your time away. I am currently in graduate school, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I am only in class for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. In addition to my weekday availability, I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows me to take on weekend house sitting, extended stays, and more flexible scheduling needs without conflict. Overall, my routine makes it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to pets during both weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am experienced with house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I approach each service with the same level of responsibility and care. I make sure doors are secured, leashes are always used properly on walks, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice any changes or concerns. In addition, I respect my clients’ homes and treat them with care and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is to provide peace of mind by creating a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

“Holly was the best while watching my dog Chloe. She sent me great photos of her while I was away and I never doubted holly for a second. She even made sure I made it home from my trip safely. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future”
“I actually worked with both Maya and her sister on splitting a longer stay, and they were both great! Super easy going and communicative! Spent a lot of time outside with my pup and took great care of him during the house sitting stay.”

As always, Eric did a fantastic job sitting for our beagle, Chester. He caters to his every need, just like we do, and we always come home to a happy and healthy dog. He takes great care of our home and is a pleasure to work with. Eric makes having to leave our boy at home a much more comfortable and reassuring experience.

We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for our dog! Lindsey took such great care of our dog for well over a week while we were out of town. Our dog is typically very nervous around new people, but she warmed up to Lindsey almost immediately. Knowing she was in such caring and capable hands made it so much easier to enjoy our vacation. From the very beginning, Lindsey was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared about our dog’s well-being. We loved receiving regular updates and photos the entire time we were away. It was obvious our dog was getting plenty of love, attention, exercise, and excellent care. When we arrived home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and settled, which says everything about how well she was cared for. Our home was also spotless, and Lindsey even cleaned up all of the dog hair! Seeing how comfortable our dog became with Lindsey was one of the biggest compliments we could give. It was clear she felt safe, loved, and well cared for. Lindsey truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, and who will treat your pet like their own, Lindsey is the perfect choice. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
We had to leave Smoke for 2 weeks. It was not easy for me, but happily, I found Rhiannon! She took excellent care of Smoke and of the house. She even watered and looked after the gardens. Could not ask for a better sitter. We’ll be booking with her again without hesitation.

This was the second time Makenna has housesat for my dog. My girl is always happy and calm when I return home, which has not been the case with other sitters. Makenna is excellent at communicating and sending photos. She makes sure my girl gets lots of play and snuggles. Also, my house is always clean when I return. Poppy and I will definitely be relying on Makenna again!

Delaney was incredible! She came for a meet and greet and was so sweet and our pups took right to her! She communicated and sent photos of her stay and even went above and beyond and cleaned up our insane backyard from toys and destroyed toys left from the snow storm. We are looking forward to having her back. Thank you so much! 5/5 highly recommend!!
