“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”
“Natasha did a fantastic job pet sitting my dog and cat. She watched them for two weeks and made sure they had everything they needed to be happy. I look forward having her look after them again!”
“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!”
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 grew up on a farm so I’ve been around animals my whole life, I miss the rural farm life quite a bit! I’ve worked at Petsmart bathing dogs and really enjoyed it, I worked with dogs that were all shapes, sizes, and ages. My boyfriend and I currently have two cats who we love so much. I’m currently taking care of animals through the university from 7-3:15 Monday through Friday, so I have a pretty open afternoon for your babies! I’m working 7-3:15 Monday through Friday so I have a lot of afternoon time for your little angels. My weekends are mostly free as my partner typically works the weekends. I’m an avid walker and feel like I’m fairly strong as I have a background in farming, archaeology, and now animal care. I will do everything in my power to keep your pets safe as we’re walking.
“Gray was so incredible with our boys! They seemed so happy with her taking care of them and she sent the best photos and updates during our time away! We will definitely be booking her again for our boys during our next vacation! Thank you, Gray!!”
About: I have had many dogs in my lifetime from childhood and as an adult and love to give dogs the love and compassion they deserve I am a new physician assistant graduate and do not start my new job for quite a few months so I have quite the down time to take care of pets! I have a dog myself and ensure I will care for your dogs with the same amount of love, compassion and care! I also have a background in healthcare
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and about 9 years of experience with cats. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I understand daily routines, different personalities, and the importance of safe, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing pet behavior and needs. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m a stay-at-home dog mom, so pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My schedule is flexible, and I’m able to give pets consistent attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get fresh water, regular potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, and attention. I also keep the home clean and respect the client’s space.
“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.”
“Joseph was communicative, professional, and trustworthy. He followed instructions and always made sure to give updates. I really appreciate the fast communication and accepting such a last minute request. Thanks so much!”
“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: Growing up, my family always had pets. From the tiniest hamster to a large pitbull, I have always been surrounded by pets. I’ve been babysitting pets since I was young and even had the opportunity to foster a dog as a teenager. I understand how important our fur babies are to us! I am out of school for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands! I am available to dog walk or simply just pop ins during the day to check on your pet. I’m my home, pets are members of the family. They’re given the same love and respect that any other family member would receive. For me, this has always reflected when I’m caring for a pet that I am pet sitting. When they’re in my care, I view them as family.
“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!”
“Miranda was so great! She checked in on our cats a few times while we were away for a week. She sent tons of pictures and kept us updated throughout each visit! We hope to book her again for future check ins. Definitely recommend!!”

About: I’ve walked and owned dogs since I was a kid and is something I enjoy doing and a privilege to help people with pet care. I work afternoons and have my mornings free from 6am to 12. I’m very flexible with quick walk or longer ones depending on the owners preference. I keep an eye on them and follow whatever guidelines the owner has for there pets. Whatever the owner feels comfortable with works with me.
“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”
Lexington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Addie was amazing with my puppy! I work night shift an hour+ away and it’s always a struggle finding a sitter available to do drop in visits so late. I recently had a bad experience with a sitter falsifying care (I have a pet cam) and I was stressed I wasn’t going to be able to find anyone to check on her because of my schedule. Addie exceeded all of my expectations! She gave Maple so much attention, care, playtime, and affection! She was on time, she communicated well, and she was extremely accommodating to my little requests (like making sure my tv didn’t auto shut off so she could have background noise, or giving her a frozen pupsicle treat before leaving). She sent a ton of pictures of their time together and my girl looked so happy! She even won the heart of my cat, who is normally shy around new people. 10/10 experience! Thank you so much, Addie!
Emelyn has been absolutely wonderful. Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does, she always takes such great care of our dog. We come home to a happy, well-exercised pup every time. It’s such a comfort knowing our dog is in such capable and caring hands—highly recommend!
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!
Brookelynn was easily the best sitter, my doggos have had. She was extremely attentive, caring, and tended to their needs ten fold! One of my dogs is very anxious, and she handled her with so much grace, and found ways to calm her down. I’ll 100% book Brookelynn again.
ReeCee immediately felt comfortable with Alexus. Alexus came as agreed. She provided pictures of her walking and playing with my pup. She gave me updates as to eating, snacking, etc. Alexus agreed to be available for another visit should we not get home at the planned time. All was good when we arrived. ReeCee was very happy. Thank you, Alexus.
Maggie was great! This was our first time using Rover and we had heard great things, but Maggie blew our expectations out of the water. She was very responsive, posted great details and photos after every visit, and really helped my wife deal with leaving the puppy for the first time. We will definitely be booking her again.
Bailey was wonderful and the best experience we've had on Rover. From the time we met her, we were comfortable knowing our Leo (our dog) was in good hands, and we could tell that she cared for Leo and that Leo liked her back. She was very responsive and gave us frequent updates and pictures.
