Dog Sitting in Lexington

About: Hi I’m Christina! I’ve always loved animals and have several years of dog care experience through helping raise and care for my family dog, who is now 8 years old. I’ve regularly taken care of him for extended periods of time, including feeding, walking, playing with, etc and making sure he is comfortable and happy. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable watching over your pet, and I treat every dog with patience, attention, and care like they’re my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays when needed. I’m reliable with routines and communication. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep walks safe and supervised, and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable in my care.

About: Absolutely love being around animals and seeing their personalities come out. I started dog walking around my town for fun and for time with animals since I was 12. Since then, I have worked with a variety of dogs ranging from a 8 month year old German Sheppard, to a 15 year old poodle. I really just am a complete animal person, but unfortunately cannot own one as I am saving up for my Masters degree, so this is the best of both worlds! Experience - Medication administration - Training commands and leash walking - Animal reactive dogs - Hiking with dogs - Multiple dogs at once - Cat care - Washing and dog hygiene I am currently at my family home for the summer and am pretty flexible most days. I am a little more busy on certain weekends. I have cared for multiple dogs in the owners homes, and have found that the dogs themselves are a lot more comfortable this way. I do live in house with an un-gated back yard, but I am also pretty close to the Lexington town tennis courts which come in handy.

“Hannah did a great job with our elderly, 14 year old, blind golden doodle. Not an easy task. She was prompt, attentive and flexible with our plans. Thank you Hannah!!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for about 7 years. I have experience watching dogs of all sizes and I just love being around them! I am currently a junior in college on summer break and working part time - mostly nights - so I’m usually available during the afternoon. I love walking so I’m able to walk your dog in your neighborhood, or I’m willing to take the dog to your yard to play, whatever you prefer.

“She was very communicative and went above and beyond to get our more anxious cat to eat her food. She gave them lots of love and play during her visits and sent photos/videos. Definitely recommend!”

“Trigo had a great visit with Paul! Great communication; I knew our guy was in good hands!”

“Rose did a great job taking care of our kitty, we really appreciate the time and effort she put in!”

“Sarah was wonderful with my pup Penny! Penny is used to pretty much always being by my side, and she was (unexpectedly) scared when I wasn't there. 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: I've had dogs my whole life and know how to walk bathe, clip nails, feed, and do anything else that a dog may need or want. I'm currently working part-time and love animals. So I will have plenty of time to take your doggos on walks. I am available all day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I do not have a car so I will only be taking jobs that are walking distance or have nearby public transportation. At this time I am only offering dog walking services and house sitting between 1-3 nights on Thursday’s Friday’s and Saturday’s. I will keep your dog safe, let them sniff to their hearts content and make sure to stray away from anything they are afraid of.

“Hillary was a great find in the "eleventh hour" of my search for service. She dropped in and took really good care of my dog while I was far away for the day. I felt confident from our first texts and Hillary's generous effort to come to my home for a meet n greet. Hillary followed through with great communication, lots of photos and follow up texts. I would call her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her services ! Thank you so much!”

About: I have 4 years of paid experience watching, walking, and boarding dogs. My family got a puppy 2 years ago, which I helped train and raise (I no longer live in the home, so no other dogs are with me). I have an extremely large backyard where your pet and I can explore! Over the summer, I am very flexible. During the school year, I am a doctoral student who goes to school and internship Monday-Thursday. I can do any evening and weekends. I can also board weekdays during the school year, if you’re okay with you pet going a little longer without a bathroom break (~6 hours). I have no other pets in the home. In my home, pets are allowed on the furniture. I have a very large backyard with a pond. I also enjoy movement, so as many walks as your pet needs I will do. They can sleep on the couch, in a crate, on a dog bed, or on the floor.

“Jessica was great! Booked a drop-in with short notice. She was responsive, flexible, and showed a care and understanding for my pooch's well-being as well as any concerns I had”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep compassion, patience, and experience with dogs who need extra attention—especially those with anxiety or special routines. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, puppies, and pets who struggle with separation anxiety. My own dog, Sasha, has anxiety, so I understand the importance of gentle care, consistency, and emotional support. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your pup needs long walks, slow introductions, or just a cozy lap to nap on—I’ve got you covered! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have Mondays and Tuesdays off, which gives me plenty of time for daytime walks and drop-ins. On other days, I’m able to fit in visits between school and work—and I don’t mind doing late-night drop-ins if your pet needs evening attention. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to make it a priority in my schedule. I’m dependable, flexible, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I only offer pet care in the client’s home because I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medication. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is always to provide reliable, stress-free care that gives both you and your pet peace of mind.

“I have a 2.5 year old energetic lab mix and Neeka takes the best care of him! I trust her to come to my apartment let herself in to feed/walk Chase while I’m on short trips. I know Chase is more comfortable staying at home than a kennel and I know Chase will be well taken care of! Look no further if you are in need of pet care :)”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. First it was Bow, then Mandy and currently Stella a six year old very super energetic springer. I am a full blown illustrator juggling at least 3 or 4 clients a month, I would also like to supplement this with helping to care for your pets! wether it is in your home or mine, crate or no crate, big or small, energetic or docile, separation anxiety or independent, I am able to adapt to your dogs mannerism. It is important to make them feel safe and loved especially when separated from their person!

About: I was born into a family with a cat that I grew up with! I got my first dog at 7. Ever since, I’ve been a mom to two more cats and one more dog. My dog is extremely anxious, which has provided me with the needed experience for dogs like her. I’ve walked and pet sat for my family members, as well as my friends and their family member’s dogs while they’ve gone away for vacations or had to spend nights away from home. This includes a couple of big sheepdogs! I am very experienced in caring for pets of all sorts, especially cats and dogs. I’ve had experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, diets, and care needs! I am currently back home from my college campus for the summer! I do care for two of my own pets and will need to be with them while my mom is working/away throughout the next month, so I am the most free to pet sit during afternoons and nights, but still have morning availability most days :) I live in a townhouse with a small fenced in outdoor area, as well as loads of space & grass to walk around on outside of that fence! We also have 2 parks :) My complex houses several other dog owners, all of which are leashed while walking in common spaces. My cat and dog are both very friendly and sociable with other pets. They can also be left to lounge around upstairs if needed while boarding other pets! I do not own a dog crate. I have several cat and dog toys, as well as dog beds, bathroom pads, treats, etc. As I have experience with pet sitting for others before, it is easy for me to adjust to different care styles for pets with needs different than mine, and adhere to their routines!

“On time, flexible, responsive, attentive and patient with our dogs, especially our older pup who is slower to warm up to new people. Will hire him again!”
