“I asked Brenda (and Lily!) to take care of my cat via multiple visits while I was away for a few weeks. Brenda is very pleasant to work with and very responsive. Both Brenda and Lily love cats and it shows! My cat, who is normally not too friendly, opened up to them, played with them and asked for pets. They sent many pictures that really helped me feel close while away. I really appreciated their help and commitment to my cat's well-being. I would definitely ask for their help again when I travel in the future. Thank you again Brenda and Lily!”

It meant so much to me to know they were happy and well cared for while I was away. I’m truly grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Karein. Our cat is quite shy and typically hides from new people, but she was incredibly patient and thoughtful in her approach, doing her best to help him feel comfortable without ever pushing too hard. She was consistently reliable and showed up exactly at the times she said she would. She took great care of the basics—feeding him on schedule and making sure his water was always fresh and full. It was very reassuring to know he was in such capable and caring hands while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive cat sitter.”

Our cat has a complex medication regimen that includes oral medication twice a day. Rilee handled this with confidence and was able to put our cat at ease and get all of his medications in. We highly recommend her!”

Sarah and her son took the time to coax Penny out from the under the bed and made her comfortable for future stop ins. As a pet parent, I felt much better knowing that my dog was both happier and in great hands! A very positive experience!”

About: We are a family in Arlington without any pets of our own, but lots of love and willingness to care for your pet in our home so you can enjoy your time away. Our neighborhood is safe for walks days and nights, and we have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run. We follow your routine, so please let us know of any preferences or restrictions, both dietary and behavioral. We offer lots of outside time, hugs and kisses! Your pet can sleep wherever they prefer, on the couch, in our bed, or in their crate (per your request only). We don't walk pets off lease unless we are at a dog park, and we stay with them in the yard, in particular at night, so they are never left unattended. We have two boys, age 13 years old, who are very active and love to run and play with dogs and are gentle with them. The adults in the family work mostly from home, so someone will be with your pet at all times. We prefer to do a meet and greet so we can see how your dog will fit into our home as well as get to know its habits and preferences. We make sure we have the time right after drop off to go for a walk with your dog so they get faster acclimated attention during the day. We are loving with the dogs we are sitting and make sure they get lots of outside and play time as needed during the day. We also don't give food from the table and are careful with treats, using only ones we have already checked with you. Since we don’t have any dogs or pets of our own, we have the time and attention to focus on your pet.

“As we just moved to a new place and did not find a cat sitter yet. After reading the positive reviews we decided to reach out to Kimm & Kenn S. Kimm has been such a treasure during our time away. From the get go she communicated very timely, clearly and really wanted to make sure she understood what we were looking for. Throughout our time away she kept us up to date on our cat's wellbeing. We are so happy she took care of our furry friend and will definitely reach out again in the future. Thank you, Kimm!”

About: I'm a veteran providing daycare and boarding, depending on the dog and owner, is generally filled with canine adventures including hikes in a forest and hills, and in the summer, play in dog friendly areas with might even include a pool party and ice cream social! Given the right environment and only with your permission, this can include off-leash time. Pickup and drop-off is almost always available. The quoted price is for a 15 mile range. Extra if farther. ----- Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing with and chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand dogs in particular and vice versa. The same is usually true with other animals too. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. What you can expect: Boarding and daycare are usually canine adventure time with me. Assuming your pooch is up for it, they'll accompany us on an adventure where they usually be able to play with other dogs, swim, and go on hikes. When the weather doesn't cooperate, that usually means pack walks somewhere like Lowes or somewhere else inside. If your dog tends to be stressed around other dogs and not well socialized, they'll have fun, learn that they are safe and can enjoy themselves while learning to be social and resilient. This is also great for improving their fitness and overall health. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? It's field trip and adventure time, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything and wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 6 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.

Stephanie went above and beyond for my cats and house while we were away during a storm. She made sure all our patio furniture was safe from the wind without needing to ask. She also always brings in any mail we have without having to ask. She’s so thoughtful and we are so happy to have connected with her. My cats are so comfortable with her!

Sophia was a great cat sitter for us when we were away for an extended few days in the summer. Both our outgoing and our shy cat came out to enjoy her attention and we very much appreciated the updates and pictures she sent. Sophia was very communicative with updates and asking any questions that came up, and didn’t bat an eye at cleanup some “extra messes” that the cats left her. In addition to two happy cats, she also helped out watering our outdoor plants which was critical on some record hot days. We would highly recommend Sophia for any of your cat sitting needs!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Lexington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lexington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,021 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lexington. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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 sitter.
