“Griffin was so attentive and great with my cats! Went above and beyond to give them lots of attention on top of taking care of their basic needs. Would definitely book again :)”


“Isabella watched our cats while we were away and she was great! She provided frequent communication, updates, and photos. We felt very comfortable with her and will likely hire her again.”

“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”

About: I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for your cats during the week. I'm available for drop-in visits Monday through Friday, with some flexibility in the morning and afternoon. I can plan my visits around your cat's usual routine and make sure they receive attentive care while you're away. I value my family time on weekends, so I generally keep Saturdays and Sundays reserved for family. I'll keep my availability updated on my calendar so you can easily see when I'm available. I understand how important it is for cats to have consistent care, and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs within my available schedule! Your cat's safety and comfort are my priorities when I visit your home. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and your cat's usual routine. I understand how important it is to keep cats safe indoors, so I'll be mindful of doors, windows, and any areas of your home that are off-limits. I'm a quiet and gentle person who respects each cat's individual personality. Whether your cat is playful, affectionate, or a little shy, I'll give them the attention and space they need to feel comfortable. I'll also send you photo updates and messages during my visits so you can see how your furry friend is doing while you're away. Before your first booking, I'd be happy to discuss your cat's needs, routines, and any important safety instructions to make sure we're on the same page.

“Gabriella did a great job staying with my two kitties while I was on vacation. It helped me relax and enjoy being away without having to worry about them. My place was immaculate when I came back. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had pets all my life. When I moved out I adopted a dog with reactivity and separation anxiety. I know first hand how scary it can be to leave your pet with someone not knowing if they can provide special care for your baby. Thankfully I am able to provide excellent care for all your pets needs (yes this can even include medication administration!). Other experience I have is volunteer work at the Lexington Humane Society, Fostering kittens with Lexington Humane Society, and having my own pets! I currently am in the process of becoming a dog trainer and I also am attending college for social work but my classes are online so I have a lot of free time! I offer things that other people can’t. I am experienced with special circumstances like diabetes care or reactivity. I have a calm but loving approach to my care that makes your pets feel safe and comfortable! I believe in positive reinforcement and science based training and care!
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve helped my friend with everything from daily walks to overnight stays, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I’m patient with shy dogs, gentle with seniors, and playful with energetic pups. I follow feeding schedules closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention. Whether it’s a calm walk, fetch in the yard, or quiet cuddle time, I adjust to whatever your dog needs. I also provide frequent photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for with love, respect, and the same attention I would give my own. I’m currently a graduate student with a very flexible schedule. I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to check in on pets frequently and keep their routine consistent. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care every day. I take safety very seriously and always follow your instructions exactly—whether it’s feeding, litter care, medication, or keeping doors secured. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of each pet’s space, especially shy or anxious animals. In your home, I make sure everything stays clean and comfortable, and I send frequent photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with the same care and kindness I give my own.

About: I grew up with dogs and raised them responsibly throughout my childhood. As a young adult, I adopted an older cat and had a loving five years together before my baby passed. I love animals of all kinds and would welcome taking care of your pets with gusto and compassion. I’m currently a full time college student with a part time job, but I can fit your needs into my schedule! I am available for early morning and afternoon dog walks, overnight weekday cat stays, and mid-day check-ins on your beloved animals. Message me if my times work for you. I live in a non smoking apartment that is very pet friendly, with plenty of room for a cat. When it comes to dog walking, I take the utmost safety precautions and would love to walk them within your own neighborhood, as my downtown neighborhood is not very amenable to dog walks.

“Ana is so sweet and took great care of my sweet Annie. She is very attentive and kept me updated on how she was doing with pictures. She even allowed my cat to get used to her pets while taking care of her. 10/10 would recommend Ana:)”

About: I believe our animals do more for us than we ever realize.❤️ And I love to help them feel special and loved in return. ✨ A few years ago, I unexpectedly become the happy human to a crazy Aussie, and while I’ve always been a cat person, I have thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the dog community! 🥰🐾 I am responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness are my top priority while I am with them. I go out of my way to make sure they feel loved and well cared-for while you are away. 💛 I am available to visit your cats in the afternoon through early evenings 🌼 I do have some flexibility earlier in the day for emergencies if they come up. When I arrive at your home, my first priority is finding your cat and saying hello if she didn’t already come out to greet me! Then washing and refilling water and food bowls, tidying litter box and settling in for some quality time 🩷
“This was our first time booking a sitter for cat sitting in our home and Riley was the perfect choice!! She sent updates with pictures every single day of our kitties. She was so clean and respectful of our house, leaving it in pristine condition. Our cats all loved her and were so happy to have her keeping them company. Knowing Riley was taking care of our cats and home was a huge stress relief, we can’t wait for our next vacation so we can book her again!!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m a huge dog lover who has 3 dogs at home. I’m frequently helping out friends or family by stopping by and taking care of their animals when they can’t be around. I’m currently a college student in Lexington, so I will make sure to work around my class schedule when it comes to drop-ins or overnight stays! I’m very flexible and will always find time to make your pet care requests work! I make sure to keep the enviornment exactly as the owner prefers, and make sure to take all safety measures seriously. I make sure to keep everything in order and tidy while respecting house rules.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
Emma was very affectionate with our cat and clearly enjoyed spending time with him. She sent many photos and videos, played with him, and gave him lots of attention at each visit. Our cat has quite the timed routine, which I know can be tricky to accommodate, so I appreciated Emma's efforts to make sure he received lots of care. I'd recommend Emma especially for pet owners who are looking for someone who will give their pets lots of love and attention!

Lucy did a wonderful job caring for my beloved cat for 12 days! She made sure he had fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and, most importantly, the love and attention my sensitive cat needs. She played with him and sent me lovely photos and daily updates that truly put my mind at ease. Thanks to Lucy, I enjoyed my time away knowing my precious cat was in loving hands. Highly recommend her!

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.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lexington is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
