“Leslie is great. He walks my two dogs, one who is an elderly golden retriever and has difficulty getting up and down and my lab rescue. Leslie is patient with my older dog. This is a big help while I am working.”
“I am always happy to hire Geoffrey for a walk around the neighborhood! He makes sure to give my dog some extra pats and check his water while I'm at work and I love getting the photo updates too.”
“Sophia has been walking our pup (Riley) twice a week for several months now and she is fantastic! She takes such good care of Riley and has even been working on training commands (with great success). We highly recommend Sophia and know Riley would give her 5-stars too if she could!”
About: Having recently lost my beloved yellow lab at 14, I find I miss our walks and the unconditional love that comes from being a dog mom. I've had dogs most of my adult life...labs are a favorite but I love them all. My daughter and my son each have two rescues who have all lived with us for periods of time. I am retired from the health club industry so my time is flexible. I am recently retired so I have a flexible schedule. I am available weekdays (7am-5pm) and some weekends. I live near conservations paths and the old reservoir which are both dog friendly places to walk. I am currently renting in Lexington so am unable to bring pets into my home, but I can go to clients homes to walk your pet.
“Fiona is very caring with my old dog. She is reliable and responsive as she always gave me detailed updates with pic for each walk. I would highly recommend her. Thanks for your help!”
“Corrine is a blessing. I injured myself and was unable to walk my pup, she responded to a last minute request, had her own supplies, and walked him far enough that when he came home, he was exactly how I like him to be, exhausted. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I grew up with many pets (cats, dogs, fish, turtles, hamsters, birds...) and cared for neighbors pets and have been professionally caring for pets the past 3 years. I work as a music teacher afternoons (3:00-6:00/7:00/8:00) during the week (except Fridays). I am also available weekends. I can care for your pet in your home while you're away. I can administer some medications like pills and eye drops if your pet requires them
“My pup Ellis really enjoyed her time with Briana! I had Briana stop by twice in the morning to do short walks so Ellis had some pee breaks while I was at work. Per Briana's note, she took a few minutes to warm up to her (we didn't have time to do a prior meet & greet unfortunately because of my work schedule) but then they seemed thick as thieves. I really appreciated that Briana took Ellis's breed – an Australian Shepherd – into account and made sure to do longer walks because the breed benefits from a little extra exercise. She also sent very cute pictures!”
About: I Grew up with dogs and cats! I love any kind of animal. And my son does. He would be coming with me to play, feed or walk the animal. I’ve also had fish and iguana so I’ve had all different types of animals. I have a puppy sheepadoodle that is my baby! We love going to dog parks or just playing outside, playing fetch or tug a war. I am available every day, any time. I just moved here. I love pets and would love to occupy my time tending to your pets I always want to make sure they are comfortable and get to know me. I like to know their likes and dislikes so I can give them the best care.
“We feel so lucky to have snagged Karein! She is SO loving with my dog - absolutely treats her like her own. I know Finn is in very safe and happy hands whenever Karein walks her (weekly!) and I so appreciate how Karein is willing to adventure with Finn. I definitely recommend her!!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life! In my household I currently have had a 6 year old Siberian Husky named Maya that my family and I work together to take care of. I have started my own small dog walking business in the past that I decided to part from to pursue my teaching career. I am also a former Wag employee. I am excellent at connecting with animals and find joy in spending time with them. I am respectful of any specific directions to accommodate your booking and extremely flexible in most situations. Excited to get connected soon! I work full time as a Lead Educator at Bright Horizons in Lexington Massachusetts. I am available on weekends and feel free to reach out about availability throughout weekdays as it varies. With my dog at my home I work towards making sure she always feels loved. Taking walks and playing with all her toys is the main way we spend our free days. A backyard with gates is always fun for fetch!
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life and treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure your pets feel safe and loved. This is the perfect side hustle for me because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! I’m currently working from home, and have a lot of time to drop in and take care of your fur babies! This is a fun side hustle for me to do:) I am extremely attentive and caring towards any animal. If your pet has any special request or needs, I will be sure to hold them to the highest regard.
About: I have a gold retriever and I do know how difficult to leave them when you have to go. I’ll take care them like they are home. I’m full time mom, and my pup can play with your pup to make sure they won’t be alone. I’m full time mom and always home. Feel free to let me know if there’s any specific needs. So I can stay with your baby all the time to give them cuddles & play. I only accept a pup boarding at my house except you have 2 pups at the same time. My kids are pet lover too. They are more than happy to sleep with your baby if it’s needed.
About: I have been around animals all my life. Grew up in the rural Midwest surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, in addition to the cows, pigs, chickens, and horses at nearby farms. I love animals and have helped care for them all my life. I am comfortable with all kinds and sizes of dogs and love getting them out on walks/hikes and playing with them, snuggling with them indoors as well. I adore dogs and remain calm, letting them get used to me before trying to engage...letting them set the stage or lead the way. Once I get to know them I am very affectionate with them and love to play and run around with them. I currently live in my own place with my cat and would love to care for your pets in your home. I'm currently between jobs and thought I would get back to pet sitting/walking for now. I love hanging with my furry friends and getting out for brisk walks! I will spend time getting to know your pet, snuggling with them(if they want), getting them outdoors and playing with them, keeping them on their feeding schedule and caring for them like they're my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
Paula was incredible. She took the time to visit ahead of her first walk to meet Pico, which we really appreciated. We had a number of unexpected changes to our schedule, and she handled everything with flexibility and grace. Her updates after each walk were thoughtful and reassuring. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Lexington on Rover is $22.2 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 11,087 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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
