âJulie is the best. She took very good care of our senior dogs, particularly when one was very ill. She understands dog behavior and how to deal with various dog personalities, which is comforting when you are leaving your loved ones with others. My dog gets very excited when she arrives. She had a big heart, and I could not recommend her more.â
âKim is amazing! She is so wonderful with our Airedale Terrier. Goes above and beyond to accommodate my very complex schedule. She is the GOAT!â
âAddelynn had amazing communication. She also changed plans last minutes when asked. She played with my dog and got his energy out. Will definitely book with her again!â


âSahil was great and had good communication. He took Maple on a nice long walk to help us out while weâre sick. Maple was tired and happy when they got back! I would definitely recommend his services.â

âKara was willing to work with my schedule when I desperately needed her last minute! She detailed what went on during her walk and took great care of my baby.â

âMackenzie is absolutely the best! This is my second time booking with her (and Rover). She took care of Maverick during 4th of July weekend and she even took Maverick for the whole day without extra charge. She sent me pictures of Maverick during the day and he looked so happy. I would totally recommend booking her.â

âTaylor is so sweet and thorough! She will absolutely be my go to dog walker here going forward. I do not trust very many people with my dogs but I absolutely trust Taylor! Highly recommend.â

âWe recently booked with Brooke for a recurring weekly walk with our dog, Willow. She has been so great and attentive to our suggestions and also Willowâs needs.â

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when Iâm around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we canât be outside Iâll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course thereâs snuggle time together until theyâre ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.
About: I've had both dogs and cats. My dog was an 80 pound malamute (the runt of her litter) that I used to walk around my neighborhood--though most of the dogs I have cared for have been much smaller. In the past, I have adopted cats from my friends and taken in a neighbor's cat. I have cared for the pets of my friends and neighbors for work, travel, and illness. I'm retired. I enjoy reading and gardening. I occasionally go out some evenings but otherwise I have plenty of time flexibility for pet sitting. To care for pets in a client's home, I would want to meet with the client and their pet before an assignment. This would be helpful to know the client's expectations and to get acquainted with and build trust with the pet(s). I own a home where I have cared for my friend's pets during emergencies.

About: Iâve had two dogs of my own and have been around dogs my entire life! Iâve been walking, playing with, and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Iâve also spent years pet sitting for family friends and neighbors back home in Louisville, and more recently here in Lexington! Iâve experienced every stage of a dogâs life, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors, so I understand that every dog has different needs. I have a huge love for all animals and will treat your furry friend with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! Iâm currently a senior at the University of Kentucky majoring in nursing! I have plenty of free time between classes and throughout the week to care for your furry friends. As a busy college student, Iâm always looking for ways to bring more joy into my day and relieve stress, and what better way than spending time with dogs! Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I would be so excited to make it part of my weekly routine! Whether Iâm caring for pets in my home or yours, I will treat them with the same love and attention Iâve given my own dogs my entire life! I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands. I will always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while making sure they feel loved and cared for. Iâll also follow their normal routines and any specific instructions you provide to help them feel as comfortable as possible!
About: Hi! My name is Ally! I grew up with both cats and dogs, and I have a 3-year-old Australian ShepherdâBorder Collie mix of my own who loves animals and playtime. I live by myself in a big apartment, giving me plenty of space to care for pets comfortably and provide them with a safe, welcoming environment. Iâm currently a professional soccer player, and my schedule gives me plenty of free time. Iâm typically finished with training by noon, leaving the rest of my day open to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve. We love long walks, and Iâm happy to include plenty of exercise, playtime, or simply companionship in their routine. Iâll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while youâre away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and Iâll always treat them like my own! Iâm currently a professional soccer player, so I have a pretty flexible daily schedule! Iâm typically finished with training by noon, leaving the rest of my afternoons and evenings free. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure your pets receive lots of love and attention throughout the day. I also have a dog of my own, so caring for animals is already part of my everyday routine! I live alone in a spacious two-bedroom apartment with my friendly 3-year-old Australian ShepherdâBorder Collie mix, who loves having other animals around. Iâll do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. Iâm happy to follow their usual routines, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide, while giving them plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Iâll also send regular pictures and updates, so you can feel reassured knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and in good hands.
âArrived early for scheduled walk and walked Buddy for desired time and gave me a nice photo of him on his walk. Definitely recommend rebookingâ


About: Iâve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my day-to-day life. I also have experience caring for and walking friendsâ dogs and am excited to expand that experience by helping more local dog owners! Iâm active and love being outdoors, so Iâm happy to provide anything from a relaxed walk to a more active walk or run for dogs who need extra exercise. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, and Iâll make sure their time with me is safe, fun, and tailored to what they need. Iâll treat your dog with the same care and attention Iâd want for my own! Iâm a full-time student and also work part-time, but my schedule varies throughout the week, which gives me flexibility for pet care! I have availability on different mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the day. Iâm happy to work with you to find times that fit both your schedule and your dogâs routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I will follow all instructions and routines provided, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any specific household rules. For walks and runs, Iâll always prioritize your dogâs safety by keeping them securely leashed, paying attention to their surroundings, and adjusting the pace and distance based on their age, energy level, and needs. Iâll also provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while youâre away.
âMegan has been so great with my energetic, six month old puppy who is sweet, but can be stubborn! She is always on time, follows instructions, and gives great reports with detailed information each time. Thanks Megan for all your help!â

About: I have 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, and over my life I have had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I currently live with my adorable kitty. I love my cat so much and I would give your dog the same amount of care and love :) I am a college student and have class in the morning. On Wednesday and Fridays my day ends around 3:30 but the other days end between 10-12. Preferred to go into the client's home since I have pets myself. If you have specific requests for your animal, I try to abide by that as best as possible. With dogs, I prefer to always keep them on a leash outside if there is no fenced yard.
About: I have experience caring for many different types of animals, including dogs and horses. I grew up around horses and have my own Chihuahua. Iâve also cared for a litter of six French Bulldog/Chihuahua mixes and have dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors. Iâm comfortable with feeding, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I currently go to University of Kentucky and have classes every day from 9- 1 but could help with whatever your needs are before or after my classes ! Since I live in a dorm, I would provide pet care at the clientâs home. I will follow the clientâs instructions, keep their home clean and secure, and make sure their pets are safe, comfortable, fed, and given plenty of attention while they are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
Olivia has been wonderful with Zoey! She was flexible and easy to communicate with while we set up our schedule, sends great updates after each walk, and Zoey clearly loves her. She was also so kind with my mom. We feel completely comfortable having her care for Zoey and are so glad we found her. Highly recommend!
Dina took great care of our Remi while we were out of town. We will definitely be using her again. This was our first experience with Rover, I wish we had tried them sooner. It really gave me peace of mind knowing Dina was coming to walk, feed and water Remi and she gave him lots of love. Thank you again Dina!

During a medical crisis we have found Rhianna to help with our newly rescued 5 year old beagle. Barney loves her and loves the long sniffaris at the dog park and sheâs been very attentive to his needs since the initial meet and greet! Just super happy to have her making our boy happy during a difficult time. Highly recommended but please donât take Barneyâs preferred time slots lol

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lexington is $19 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 777 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Lexington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dogâs walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lexington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
Every walker 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 Justiceâs 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lexington. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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 walker.
