“I cannot say enough get things about Kylie. She was prompt, great with communication, flexible, but most important my dog loves her. He was genuinely happier on days he saw Kylie and that is invaluable. Thank you so much Kylie! ❤️”

“Sarah is amazing!! She’s very kind,thorough, and responsive. She always kept us updated and charmed even our most suspicious feline. We have a kitty who needs medications and she always made sure to include an update about that which is super appreciated and comforted. She did exceptional care and we will definitely be requesting her care in the future for our fur babies.”

“Jessica did an outstanding job with our 14 week old puppy, we couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her! She watched our puppy three weekends in a row, was punctual, kept us informed, and most of all kept our puppy on a routine. 10 stars!”


“Lindsey was great about communicating, agreed to set up a meet and greet and had good availability for that, and took good care of our kitty while we were gone. She was able to handle giving a pill. Thanks, Lindsey!”

“Cat was fantastic! She was so good with my cats and it was a huge weight off my shoulders getting her dozen of pics everyday from her visit with them. My cats, while happy to see me home, will definitely be missing her daily visits. Highly recommend, will be rebooking with her in the future!”

“Brooke took care of my fur baby who we just adopted several weeks ago. She is amazing, no other words! We have used her in the past with our other dogs and she is the best and super trustworthy.”

“Kim did an amazing job. I really appreciated that she visited my cats at the agreed upon time and sent me informative Rover Reports every time! The cats seemed to take well to her and there was little conflict. I have no criticisms, she was really great. I would definitely use her services again in the future!”

“She was great and took great care of my puppy when I was nervous about leaving her. She was very thorough and sent lots of updates and pictures.”

“Aubrey gave us so much peace of mind by helping with a few last-minute drop-ins while we were in the middle of moving and I was starting a new job. She’s a great communicator, and our pup clearly loves her. Her updates always included helpful recaps and adorable photos. Highly recommend Aubrey!”

“Kayla offered very generous rates for taking care of our cats while we were on our honeymoon. She communicated with us every day, asking clarification to make sure they were safe and happy. She also stopped one of our very outside-lovimg cats from running out the door every day. Overall, a good experience, and we really appreciated the peace of mind from seeing photos of them each day.”


About: I've been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities since I was around 13 years old. Over the years, I've pet-sat for neighbors, friends, and family members who trusted me to provide attentive, reliable care for their beloved pets. In addition to pet sitting, I often volunteer through the Check Me Out program with the Lexington Humane Society, where I take shelter dogs out for fun day trips to give them a break from the kennel environment and provide them with enrichment and socialization. I genuinely enjoy spending time with all animals and understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether you need drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, medication assistance (if applicable), or simply someone to keep your pet company while you're away, I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I recently graduated from the University of Kentucky, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I am also happy to provide photo and video updates for every visit and maintain clear communication so you will always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're at work, traveling, or on vacation by ensuring your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm currently working part-time, mostly on the weekends. I am available most days during the week. My work schedule can fluctuate; however, any changes will be communicated promptly. I live in a pet friendly apartment with plenty of space for walks or playing. I do not currently have any other animals in my apartment. To ensure your pet's safety, they will be on a leash while outside.
“Ashtin & Jenison are awesome! This is my second time booking with them to watch my cat, Duchess. I always get lots of photos and Duchess looks very happy. They even brought in a laser toy for her! They helped me out with last minute requests and also with two extensions on my last visit. They are super friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat. i will definitely book with them again!”

“Sara is a great sitter, super commutative, goes above and beyond with pets, would 100% recommend her! She watch my two kitties for a couple days and I felt amazing and secure the whole time!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky that Morgan visited my puppy. She was very nice, on time, and took great care of my puppy. She also cleaned up his mess, which I really appreciated. Thank you for everything!”

“Rachel took great care of our cat! She was flexible with his needs, followed all care instructions perfectly, and provided lots of play time and pets at every drop-in. Communication with her was easy and prompt. She also was very respectful of our home and kept it tidy. Highly recommend!!”

“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”


“Margaret is truly wonderful! From our initial contact to her daily visits with Rooster (13yo indoor cat), she had EVERYTHING I’d wish for in a person to trust for this important duty. I could not have asked for more and am so grateful to have found Margaret! She was exceptionally perceptive, patient, loving, and attuned in her care of Rooster (the cat), as well as highly responsible, responsive, punctual, and intuitive in her dealings with us (the people). As a first time Rover user, I kind of feel like I hit the Pick 6. As long as she’s available, I would choose only her for this job. Rooster loves her, and you can tell the feeling is mutual. Thank you, Margaret!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for years with different size dogs and multiple dogs at a time; I have loved dogs since a young age and carry it with me always! I love animals! I’m a huge dog and cat lover! I don’t have any dogs of my own, as I care for other’s animals as if they were my own! I can always come to your home and sit your dogs and cats! I want them to be as happy and comfortable as possible! I am always willing to plan my schedule around your fur babies!
Gardenside-Colony pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shannon was amazing with my 2 cats. One had been abused before we adopted her and is extremely non-social and very skittish. After a few days he was able to give her a little pet which is just a testament to the care he took with her.He sent great information and pics and I could not have asked for anyone better. Great communication, punctual, went above and beyond, highly recommend!

Ashleigh was great! She helped take care of Penelope while I was out of town for work and did an awesome job. She was so loving towards Penelope and made sure she was well taken care of! She was on time, thorough, and provided lots of pictures and visit recaps!

Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3
