“I would not be able to leave my cat at home if Sarah wasn’t going to check on her! I have a very shy cat, but she will come out of hiding to see Sarah and get some attention! She is THE BEST!!!!! Thank you, Sarah!”
About: Hi! I’m Evelyn, a veterinary technician with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Caring for animals isn’t just my career—it’s something I truly love. Working in veterinary medicine has taught me how to recognize when pets are stressed, uncomfortable, or not feeling their best. Whether your pet needs medication, a fun walk, overnight companionship, or just a little extra patience, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. Every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know what makes them happiest. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and in caring, experienced hands. My schedule works well for pet care because I have a consistent full-time routine and a one-hour lunch break that often allows me to check in on pets or provide midday visits when needed. Outside of work, I love staying active through running and daily walks, so I enjoy keeping dogs happy and engaged while always matching the pace to each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week and on weekends. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, anxiety, and changes in behavior, but I also know that the best care often means helping pets feel relaxed, secure, and loved. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my friendly dog and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and supervision. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, medications, or crate training, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how they’re doing.
“Sarah is wonderful with my furry girls! She is friendly, patient, kind, and caring. I'm happy she will be caring for my pups while I am away for two weeks!”
“Haley was very pleasant to work with. She is timely and provides descriptive updates. I will definitely reach out to her in the future to check in on my cat, Alfie! 😊”
“I needed someone super last minute and I am so thankful that Kelli was available! I wasn't able to do a meet and greet with Kelli, but constantly kept me updated and sent pictures of my dogs! I felt like I could trust her and I hadn't even met her! She even brought new toys one of the times she came over, which is just above and beyond! Thank you Kelli!!”
“Ariel did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties for a long weekend!! I always have peace of mind knowing they will get all of their needs met even while I’m away. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Catherine was excellent in every way! Had scheduled with her a little over a week in advance and then had my older pet pass away right before the trip—she was incredibly helpful at helping me edit the number of pets scheduled for her to drop-in on via the Rover site and was very kind about my loss. Professional, sent lots of pics, and my slow-to-warm-up cat snuggled with her!”
“Caitlin was great with our pup! She communicated ahead of time and made sure Shadow was taken care of. She was intentional with playing with him and providing us updates. Will be using her in the future!”
“Brooke is amazing!! We were gone all day yesterday for The KY Derby and she took amazing care of my two older dogs. She is very thorough, caring and prompt. Will definitely be using her again in the near future. Thank you Brooke!”
“Excellent communication regarding my elderly, disabled dog, so that I knew exactly how she was doing throughout the day. I felt Angelee genuinely cared about her, and erased all stress on both sides with her gentle, thoughtful care.”
“I am so happy with the care my cat Skittles received from Anna! She looked relaxed and comfortable in all the photos, and Anna left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her and will absolutely book with her again! Thank you so much, Anna! 💛”
“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!”
About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician, worked with small animals and now do mostly large animals. I have grown up with dogs my entire life. I love your pets and would love to help !! I currently work for Lexington Equine Medical and it is becoming our off season, so I am starting to free up in the afternoons! I can come whenever I am off and communicate that with you and do whatever is needed for you and your pet ! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life , and that really persuaded me to be the Licensed Vet tech I am today. I love being around animals and I care deeply for them no matter to what extent ! I also can’t have a dog where i am living now so kind of get the best of both worlds getting to bond with your pet :)
“Bree was the best! She sent a ton of pictures and played with both my cats while I was gone. Definitely will book with her again ❤️”
“Our cat Savannah can be moody, but we can always rely on Kara to make sure she is comfortable and taken care of when we are away. Thank you so much, Kara!”
“Taylor did drop-in visits for my cat for an extended period over the MSU winter break. She went above and beyond in helping, and was great when I needed to add a few extra days onto the booking. She also helped by bringing in a large packages that was left at the bottom of the stairs to my apartment complex! I will definitely be using Taylor again.”
“Elisa was fabulous with our Mr. Henry and went above and beyond for what was asked of her. She did 2 drop-ins for us a day and always sent pictures and was always running on schedule. SHE'S HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Julie is very experienced with animal care, and she put me completely at ease during my first time using Rover. She was professional and friendly and answered all of my questions. The updates she provided for each drop-in visit were not only thorough about the tasks completed, but included commentary about my cat that reassured me kitty was in the hands of someone confident, patient, and appreciative of all animals in her care. Although my cat's needs were unremarkable, I would have trusted Julie to provide more complicated care, and would definitely book her again for any kind of petsitting. Thank you, Julie, you were wonderful!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
Bree provided fantastic care for our two kitties, including giving them medicines and following our directions perfectly. We received many adorable photos, and we returned to find two happy kitties. In addition, Bree took great care of our home. We highly recommend Bree!
Sara is always a blessing when I need her. She is always detailed and makes sure my senior cat is good. I’ve been worrying more about him lately as he continues to get older, but I don’t worry as much when she looks after him. She always is able to implement the new stuff I need to do for him as he gets older as well.
Ariel did an amazing job as always taking care of my 2 cats. I have used her multiple times for drop in visits while I am out of town. She does a great job at following instructions and communicating. Will definitely use her again when I need a sitter in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lexington on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lexington. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
