“Sarah was a very good.choice to look after our dogs while we were away. She was very punctual a provided pictures and updates each visit. She even went above and beyond and provided care for our turtle that was not.part.of the original agreement. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sarah is fantastic. I contacted her the first time just a few hours before I needed her as my normal sitter had an emergency, and Sarah took it all in stride, taking amazing care of my weird little dog! Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Layla was very reliable in taking care of my puppy! She responded promptly and helped ease my stress with pictures and a sweet note during her drop in visit. My booking was rather last minute so I appreciate her responding quickly and helping me make sure Juni was taken care of.”
“We have worked with Kara a few times already, and it has always been a great experience! Kara is very attentive to our cat Savannah and sends plenty of pictures, so that we don’t need to worry. 😄 Thank you so much, Kara!”
“Haley always does a wonderful job watching our kitties! She ensures they are fed, loved on, and played with. Haley communicates well and voices any questions/concerns she may have. Our kitties absolutely love her!!”
About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I'm a recent UofL grad and love meeting new furry friends! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and began caring for neighbors’ pets at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve had years of experience with house sitting, daily walks, and drop-in visits for neighbors and family friends, often working through word of mouth and personal recommendations. I’ve worked as both a stay-in pet sitter and a weekly dog walker, and I love making sure animals feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, high-energy animals, and senior pets with special needs, and am comfortable adapting to a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and attention to care when it comes to treating animals with the patience, love, and respect they need.🩷 I am currently on my gap year between undergraduate and medical school, so pet care will be my full time job! I am able to stay the majority of the day at client's homes if needed, but may need to step out for an hour or two to get food and/or groceries for my stay. Feel free to discuss your pet's schedule with me, and we can figure out a plan that works for everyone! I always try to meet with the family before sitting or dropping-in so that I understand how any pets are used to their home feeling. I will follow all instructions left by the owners, and try to keep a loving and clean environment for the animals. I also try to be very communicative with owners about any questions or concerns, and will gladly provide daily pictures/videos of animals to the owners. I also love playing with animals and making sure they get enough activity so they can get some fresh air and love! Additionally, I am a pre-medical student and have many hours of emergency experience with basic life support (BLS) and have taken a veterinary BLS course. I know how to administer CPR and perform the Heimlich maneuver on cats and dogs. I also have experience administering injected medication and subcutaneous fluids to cats and dogs. (I do not have experience administering care to additional animals at this time.) I also look up the closest veterinary ER prior to a stay, and am prepared to drive any animals in case of an emergency.
“Catherine M did a wonderful job. She and Tucker got along great. She sent pictures after every visit so we know our little guy was happy, played with and given plenty of attention. We will remember Catherine for our next trip.”
“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.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life, first with pets growing up, and now as a proud dog mom who works from home full time. That means I can give your pet real attention, not just a quick pop in. I have an anxious dog of my own, so I completely understand how much pets thrive on routine, familiar surroundings, and a calm presence. It’s why I believe in caring for pets in their own space and decided to join Rover. I’ll never rush your pet or force interaction and let them warm up at their own pace. I also have years of experience with the senior dogs in my family, so I’m comfortable with slower walks, medications, and the extra gentleness older pets deserve. I offer drop in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting. When I stay overnight, my own dog stays home with my partner so your pet gets my full, undivided attention. My flexible schedule means I can keep your pet’s routine exactly as they know it, with plenty of photo updates along the way! I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I can do morning, midday, or evening drop ins and walks, and I’m available for overnight house sitting with plenty of notice or even short notice when my calendar allows. Your pet’s routine stays exactly as they know it. I follow your instructions to the letter: feeding schedules, medications, walking routes, and household rules. I always keep dogs leashed outdoors unless you have a secure fenced yard, double check doors and gates, and send regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind while you’re away :)
“Ariel is great! She’s friendly, communicative, and reliable. I have an anxious dog, which makes me even more nervous to leave him with someone, but he did really well with her. If I need a sitter in the future, I will be asking Ariel first.”
“We absolutely love having Addie over to spend time and care for Wilson! Every time we head out of town, we know he'll be in excellent hands with her.”
“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”
“Bailey was the best! I have 3 crazy dogs who are a handful and Bailey handles them like a champ. I always get worried when I have to leave my babies in somebody else’s hands, but now that I’ve found Bailey I know when I have to leave they are in the best of hands. The pups love her and so do I! Will be booking her for all future pupper needs!”
“Kelli was amazing! She sent so many cute photos and was so thorough during her visits. This was our first time having a sitter for our new cat, and Kelli was great with her!”
“My cats and I highly recommend Julie! She gives great updates and attention to my pets. I know I don’t have to be worried at all about them when I am out of town. Will definitely rebook with her next time I am out of town.”
About: Ready for tail wags and endless fun! Having raised my own pups for over a decade, I’ve experienced it all—from the wild puppy phases to the sweet senior years. I know exactly how to keep animals engaged, safe, and thoroughly entertained. Your dog will get all the playtime, attention, and expert care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because my schedule is highly flexible! Whether I am hanging out with cats or walking dogs, my open availability allows me to easily match your pet's established routine. I can accommodate early morning feedings, mid-day potty breaks, high-energy afternoon play, or late-night cuddles. Because I am so adaptable, I can quickly adjust to whatever timeline your pets need to stay happy, comfortable, and stress-free Whether at my home or yours, I focus on safety and mimicking your pet's normal routine. In your home, I strictly follow your rules, keep litter boxes pristine, walk dogs on their usual routes, and secure your property. In my home, I provide a fully pet-proofed, welcoming environment where cats and dogs get dedicated attention, structured playtime, and their own safe spaces to rest comfortably.
“Rhianna has been doing drop-in visits for our 3-month old puppy and it's been great! She always responds quickly, comes on time, and plays a lot with our energetic fur baby. From the pictures she sends us, it is clear that our puppy is having a great time and and loves to play with her. We appreciate her very much!”
“Mary was a wonderful sitter, she allowed us to have an stress-free vacation & we are truly thankful. She was communicative, friendly, and provided us nice updates on our kitties. Hope to use Mary again in the future for our vacation needs”
“Kaylee was wonderful to work with! On time and quick to tell me if she wouldn’t be. Professional in her communication and took her time to get to know my dog. She walked my dog and then stayed with her the full 30 minutes. Your pet will love her!”

Jessica did a great job at watching my two cats! I’m always super anxious when we have to leave our cats for intended periods of time, but Jessica did a great job keeping an open and clear line of communication about what she was doing each day. Also, she took the most adorable pictures of my cats obviously having fun! Will definitely be rebooking for our future care needs.
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 $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.

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.
