“Our puppy had a wonderful time staying with Ana and her dog, Mia. Ana was an excellent sitter very accommodating, communicative, and easy to work with. We felt completely at ease and would happily book with her again.”
“We had a great experience with Kath and Jordan! They were able to accommodate our three dogs for almost a week, and our dogs got along wonderfully with their own beautiful pets. Kath and Jordan kept us updated with regular pictures, which really put our minds at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. They have a spacious yard for the dogs to run and play, making it a great environment for them. We highly recommend Kath and Jordan and will definitely book with them again!”
About: I provide attentive, reliable care and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or providing companionship, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has unique needs and I take the time to learn their routines and preferences. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I can provide dependable pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I am a part time server and only have my schedule open for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for my serving job but don’t always work all 3 days. I can make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention and care. I communicate regularly with owners and am committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I maintain a clean environment, provide plenty of supervision, and treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!!
“Kathryn is a great sitter! Our pup gets lots of personal attention as she will only accept one family at a time and works from home. He loves having kids around during the day and playing ball in her fenced yard. Kathryn is easy to communicate with and we feel much better about leaving our pup in her care than boarding, especially when she sends pictures and updates, which we love. She is always out top choice when when our pup cannot travel with us!”
“John was an amazing sitter who kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and updates, even when we couldn’t be as responsive. He offered Teddy healthy treats on the regular and treated him like his own. Five stars! We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future sitting needs.”
“We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! Aubrey took amazing care of our dogs and really went above and beyond. Our pups got plenty of walks, even special treats like pup cups, and we loved getting all the pictures and updates! It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she genuinely care about our dogs, and their setup is fantastic. Safe, comfortable, and perfect for keeping the dogs happy and active. We came home to very happy pups and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
“Martha did such a wonderful job looking after our little Gumbo! There was great communication and she clearly loves and has great experience with taking care of pups! Gumbo was extremely relaxed and happy when we picked him up after a long stay. We are so grateful to have found such a great boarding option!!”
About: We came across the Cavapoo breed as our loving Rottweiler was on his journey to his “better place”. We chose the Cavapoo breed as our furry rainbow puppy to help us all with the tough loss. Fast fwd 5 years, and WOW, still can’t believe the journey that was created for us. Dog breeding, training, boarding and grooming just the way I would want my pups taken care of…in a home. Our setup is ready for all stages of dogs and of course, personalities. This is a small family business and we make pet care fit seamlessly into our lives. We’re a party of 4 and all hands are always on deck. 4:00 am wake up call during the week and 6:00 am on weekends. Caring for pets in our home can consist of taking your pets normal routine that’s already established and following it. Help keep your animal on a schedule of food timing to crate or bedroom boarding. We live in a neighborhood with a 6 foot privacy fenced in back yard. A 3,000 gallon Koi pond surrounded by 800 square feet of deck. Nice plush outdoor furniture for the dogs to lounge next to the pond after a drink. We have also built a 200 square foot doggie palace on our property. Full electricity with heating/air and additional ceiling fan. Great for rainy days or dogs who are lone rangers and/or feisty.
“Nathan is great! He kelp my Pitt Krystee for seven days. Each day he sent videos and pictures of how she was doing! He treated Krystee as if she was his own! I highly recommend Nathan for pet sitting, and will use Nathan again next month when I go out of town again! Thank you Nathan for taking such good care of Krystee!!!”
“Laura was great with our pup! She was accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up times, sent a thorough summary of how he was doing each day, and included photos. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of watching all types of sweet pups from golden doodles to frenchies. I love showering them with love, cuddles, walks, and lots of treats. In my past, I’ve also taken care of a pup with seizure activity where I had to give oral medication daily and administer medication in case of emergency. I can’t wait to love on your furry friends as well! I have just recently graduated from the University of Kentucky and have plenty of time in my weekly schedule to help care for your pets! I do not have any pets in my college home, but I do have a yard for the pets to roam in! I love to watch/walk dogs! And I am happy to help let them out, give them love, and anything else they might need!
“Miranda is great! She took wonderful care of our dog, taking him on walks and playing with him outside. She sends pictures and updates throughput each day. Highly recommend Miranda.”
“Our dog was well cared for by Jason and his family for almost a week. We received daily updates and pictures of our dog while she was boarding. It was great to have those updates to let us know how she was doing. We highly recommend Jason and his family to take good care of your beloved pet. We will use their services again.”
“Audrey and Samuel did a great job caring for my puppy! She was exhausted when we picked her up so I think she had a lot of fun! They also offered to do a meet-and-great which is great.”
“Alex and Martha have a clean home, a gorgeous backyard and multiple sweet, furry friends that Calliope LOVED to play with. They were communicative and very accommodating - I got picture/video updates every day, and I could tell Calliope was having a BLAST. Will absolutely reach out when I need someone to watch my Gremlin Princess again :)”
About: I have been caring of a variety fur babies since I was a kid. I have experience with working with both younger and older fur babies. I am currently working full time while coming my masters online in counseling so I do have flexibility with working overnights. If need more availability please contact me. I have a fenced area at my apartment complex for dogs if needed. I have a variety of teats and toys for cats if needed.
“This was the first time I had left my five-year-old corgi since adopting him five months ago. Laura gave him all the attention and walks he needed. My only disappointment was that he wasn’t more excited to see me when I got back! He will definitely remember Laura next time.”
Lexington pet parents share their Rover experiences
I have used Laura a few different times now My dogs love her and she's super attentive, always providing updates ensuring that she has the correct directions and my doggo absolutely loves her I was blessed to find her when I had an older dog that needed care and she was very sweet and attentive to my girl before she passed I will continue using her and recommend her to anyone who would like to book with her.
I can only really know how things went for my cat Teacup when she is boarded by how she behaves once she’s back home. After her 2 night stay with Natasha she seemed happy to be home, but otherwise very calm. Unlike other times when she meowed non-stop for 2 days as if she were trying to tell me all was not as it should have been. This time she hardly meowed at all. Natasha and her 2 daughters seem comfortable with both cats and dogs which of course reassures their guests that they are safe and loved. For Teacup that is everything. I think Teacup wouldn’t mind a return visit in the future. I can recommend Natasha for cat boarding.
From the moment we met Tania, she was friendly and welcoming. She introduced Molly to her pets and the layout of her home and fenced-in yard. Molly had to learn to use the Dog Door and did so While away, Tania sent photos and videos of Molly enjoying herself. It is clear that Tania cares deeply for pets. Molly had a wonderful time, and we will look forward to using Tania again.
Candice took care of my 1 year old high energy dog for 7 days. Very good with messaging back and sending daily pictures and videos. Her and Clementine did very well with keeping Astrid entertained even when it was super cold outside. When my girl misbehaved, she made sure to ask questions on how best to find a solution. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby.
Megan is a lovely person who truly cares for animals. She did everything to make Molly's stay pleasant, relaxing and fun. Molly had a sleep issue initially as she adjusted, but Megan was able to calm her and resolve it for the rest of the week. We would definitely use Megan again and hihly recommend her!🐾❤️
Brittney always takes good care of our little old Pomeranian. She is communicative, attentive, and sends photos. We always appreciate when she is available to take good care of our fur baby. Upon pickup, my husband even noted one of her neighbors recognized our dog from recent walks Brittney took her on. She genuinely enjoys caring for our fur baby, and is great at doing it. We will always book Brittney when she is available!
Great experience! I was recommended by a friend and I will say I am so glad I trusted her to leave my baby with her! She sent so many pictures and gave me updates while I was traveling! Definitely helped ease my nerves. I’ve never left my girl behind. I know my baby had a great time and the fact that she got to socialize and meet other dogs was even better! Thank you so much Ann!
Laura is the BEST MOMMA you could hope for! She was absolutely amazing with my little 16 year old miniature Pomeranian. She took her into her home & loved her so much, FoxyRoxie would have stayed with her forever! I don’t think she even missed us. I will not be reluctant to use her for my baby again. She followed all my instructions & gave me daily feedback, which kept me from worrying about my elderly baby. Thank you so much Ms Laura.
