“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”
“Julie 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.”
About: I have had a dog from the time I was 12 until I was 22! I know how to take care of all ages, from puppies to our beloved senior doggies. I’m in search for my new study buddy to keep me company while I do my flash cards! I am currently in medical school, and my class schedule is predictable but flexible. With a low amount of required activities, I am available to spend more time with your babies! I usually study from home, which means we can both keep each-other company :) I have experience in dog sitting and house sitting. I will be more than happy to spend as much time as possible in your home so that your pets stay on as normal of a routine as possible. I care for pets like I care for my patients- with love, responsibility, and devotion!
“Ariel did a great job with my pets... And was very flexible for my last minute change... Would definitely use her again and highly recommend her”
“Joni is amazing! My dog has a lot of energy and Joni walks her daily. Joni is fantastic at communicating throughout the day and always makes an effort to ensure that both my dog and I are more than happy with how things are going.”
About: With a lifetime of experience living with dogs and cats and a year of consistent dogsitting, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages and energy levels. I provide in-home overnight stays, drop-ins, and dog walking to help keep your pet comfortable in their familiar space. As a paraeducator, I’m organized, calm under pressure, and attentive to individual needs. I understand how important routine, safety, and communication are, and I take pride in providing dependable care you can trust. I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week and on weekends. Because of this flexibility, I can provide reliable, attentive care and adjust to each pet’s unique routine and energy level. My approach to pet care is structured, attentive, and tailored to each individual pet. Before care begins, I like to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, triggers, and any medical or behavioral needs. • Overnight stays: Maintain normal schedule, walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. • Drop-ins: Bathroom breaks, feeding, fresh water, enrichment/play, and safety check of the home. • Walks: Safe leash handling, appropriate exercise, and attention to weather and surroundings. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos during each visit.
“Haley really did me a solid when she let me know that Ryleigh wasn't feeling good. She took the time to find her meds and give them to her. Truly appreciated that.”
“We’re so impressed with how attentive Rhianna is to our sweet Barney, a new rescue at 5 years old learning to walk on a leash. He loves her already and comes home happy and tired and satisfied! We just need some temporary help after an injury and hospitalization but I can see this becoming a new part of Barney’s life as it makes him so happy! I definitely recommend Rhianna to anyone who needs a caring, dependable dog walker.”
“Kelli is great with Ranger. I can tell by the photos when she is with him that he is comfortable & at ease with her. We've already rebooked Kelli for another week of care this Fall.”
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.

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.
“Exceptional Dog Walker Mary has been walking my two dogs (a chocolate lab and a bloodhound) every day and has been an absolute lifesaver. Here’s why she’s great: · Dependable: She is on time and reliable. · Caring & Attentive: She genuinely loves my dogs and pays close attention to their needs and behavior. · Excellent Communication: After every walk, she takes the time to tell me how they did and shares any details. · Handles Large Breeds: She is confident and wonderful with my big, sometimes stubborn, bloodhound and energetic lab. I highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a first-rate dog walker!”
About: My family has always had multiple dogs, my ex and I had a hound together, and I have a cat of my own now. I love pets of all kind and have learned how to interact with many different types of personalities! I can dog sit pretty much whenever with the exception of trips, I’m a student and work as a server but my hours are typically short so I’m almost never out for long periods of time I live in an apartment so I’m very used to taking dogs out on a leash for bathroom breaks and/or walks and I previously had a very strong 80lb hound so I can handle a big dog.
About: *Prior to sending a booking request, please be aware that I work 8:30AM to 5:30PM M-F. If this does not work for your pet’s needs, please do not send a request* When you book with me, I COME TO YOU! Your pets will never have to leave the place they know and love. I know leaving your fur babies is difficult, so I make it a point to respond to all messages almost instantly when I am not working my regular 8:30am-5:30pm job, and within 1-2 hours when I am at work. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all ages and love them as my own! I request detailed instructions on feeding and any other important details to be sent via message or written at your home. My weekends and nights after work stay flexible: sometimes I am gone for a couple hours to visit friends, but if a pre-set plan with my friends is intended to take more than 3 hours, I will ensure you are aware ahead of time so we can determine whether I am the best fit for your pets. I only pet sit in the client's home as I believe animals feel safer in an environment they know and trust. I also live in a small space where I cannot have more than my one dog, so bringing more animals home is not an option.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
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 she’s 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 don’t take Barney’s preferred time slots lol

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lexington on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 754 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 your Lexington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Lexington.

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.
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 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lexington. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
