“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.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.
“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.”

“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.”

“This was my second time having Kath and Jordan watch Duncan and I have nothing but great things to say! He loves it there and they make him feel super comfortable being away from home. They do a great job with sending me photos so I know he’s doing well. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!”

“Accommodated me on short notice. Nathan has strong attentiveness. Inquired about my preferences and if I had specific requests like wanting photos / my pups schedule in order to provide optimal care to him during their time together.”


“Kathryn was very loving and nice to my puppies. They seeemed to be very happy and comfortable with her. She even sent me photos of them. She has a very nice, big backyard so your dog will have lots of room to get some exercise. We will definitely be back again!”

“Martha was fantastic! This was my first time leaving my dogs over night and Martha made me feel at ease that they were having a great time. She sent me regular photos and videos and got back to me quickly every time I reached out. My dogs were at ease and happy to see me when I got there, but I could tell they felt at home with her and her husband!! Thank you so much.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my childhood I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, parrots and fish in all stages of life. I’ve learned to cater to every need because of this, as every pet needs something specific to their age, size and personality. I can handle pets of all sizes and energy levels, and will treat each just as I would one of my own. I’m a full-time college student home for Summer break, and I have a very open schedule that I would love to fill surrounded by fur babies. I’d like to make pet sitting my full-time job for the season, so I have lots of flexibility and availability. I have a large fully fenced in back yard and live in close proximity to a dog park. I currently have one of my own super friendly dogs at home, and I have plenty of space to welcome yours, and/or separate them comfortably if needed for whatever reason.
“Amber and her husband did a phenomenal job taking care of my 2 energetic dogs. They seemed healthy and worn out after a few night stay with them, and seemed to get along with their babies. She sent me great pictures and updates as well. I hope to work with them again when I’m back in town!”

About: I have always had dogs and loved them! I have pet sat anything from dogs to donkeys. I am ok with potty training, as I taught my own puppy!! short drop ins, long hours, overnight, I’ll do it all. I would love to help out your family💙 I have a very flexible schedule with class, and am available during the workday (and overnight)!! I can drop in to let the pooch out, or stay and let them get some energy out:) I am a great rule follower! If you have special instructions I will be sure to follow them closely. With having years and years of experience not only pet sitting, but fostering, and even owning my own dog, I can problem solve lots of the time aswell!!
About: My family has had dogs since before I was born. We have had labs, mutts, pitbulls, and any other breed the humane society found for us. We are a family of foster fails, but have so much love for our furry found family. One of our pitbulls at home is a certified therapy dog thanks to countless hours my sister spent at trainings (and I happened to also attend because she needed a ride). I am also lucky enough to have a personal dog-trainer on call if needed, and I have had my fair share of experiences with giving dogs any medications they may need. I am excited to give your pet the love and attention they deserve while you get the time off that you deserve. I have dog-sat for puppy and senior St. Bernard’s as well as sheep dogs, little dogs, and every dog in-between. I am unemployed, so I have plenty of hours in the day to care for your furry friend. I just graduated college with a bachelors in Biology, and am taking a gap year before starting up vet school. When I am not pet-sitting, I am volunteering at Lexington humane society. So my schedule is flexible and I am more than happy to work around what you and your pet need. I have a fenced back yard that I like to let the dogs play in. I’ll usually take the dogs on a walk in the morning and then the evening. In between, if the dog is up to it, we’ll spend some time outside maybe throwing a ball or favorite toy. I usually ask that the owner gets a list together for their dog’s daily schedule, so I can keep the dog’s life as normal and comfortable as possible. The list I ask for usually includes what time meals are, when the dogs go out, how often you want them exercising, what meds are needed, how long you’ll need me, etc. It all just depends on what you as the owner are looking for.
“Audrey and Samuel are amazing they always take great care of my pups! Our dogs are a handful but they love having them and the dogs always get so excited when we turn down their street!”

“This was an extended stay with Laura with my older girl as well as my spunky young boy. They absolutely adore her and she's so great at communicating and giving updates. She really made it easy being away for the first time in a year. She also was super responsive when I gave her some updates from the vet and super flexible with pickup and drop off time. I'm really glad we connected and my fur pups have a home away from home.”

“Isabella was great!! She updated me appropriately and sent some super cute pics! Mango came back home happy and exhausted! Would definitely use Isabella’s services again!”

“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 :)”

“Maggie is sweet! Our dog seemed to have a great time with her, her dog, and cats. Her dog took a bit of time to warm up to our dog, but it seemed they became good friends shortly thereafter.”

The median cost per night for pet boarding in Lexington is $38

Andrew made our Bear feel welcome right away by playing with him and introducing him to his small dog, Lucky Bear. He had lots of room to play inside and was given regular walks. Andrew sent us pictures throughout Bear’s visit and our boy looked very happy. I appreciate Andrew’s quick and thoughtful responses to my text messages. We’d definitely use him again for watching Bear.

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.

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!

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 pet, 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
