“Great sitter, I will definitely be using Christy for my dog care needs. She is conscientious and caring, and I know Brown Dog was thrilled to see Christy every visit. Christy left wonderful report cards and I truly did not worry about Brown Dog at all while I was out of town!”

About: I have a passion for animals. Dog/house sitting is more than a job, it is one of my favorite hobbies. I am a very punctual and friendly person that you can rely on. I am a big proponent of picking up for your dog on walks & leaving your house cleaner than you left it. Nothing makes me happier then a wagging tale after a great walk. I am a full time professional that is always looking to make new doggie best friends. I have taken care of dogs big and small, as well as a small hodgepodge of other fun pets like hedgehogs, parakeets & house plants. Just know, that as you head off our your vacation, your pets will be comfortable and safe in their own home with me. I will be able to give to best care to pets that can handle the 8-4:30 schedule while I am at work. Extended stays/house sitting works fine with me and will give constant attention to your precious pets while I am there. When caring for your pet in your home, I stick to a strict schedule. I always come straight home after work so we can go on a long walk and then make sure we both get some dinner. Evenings will be spent giving all my attention and playfulness to those more energetic dogs!
“Subi provided excellent care for our two older cats for over 2 weeks on a daily basis with special attention to the individual feeding requirements for each of our cats We were provided pictures each day of the the food, water and cleaned litter box, along with cute snapshots of our cats in various places. Subi took care of a a few extra requests as well, including watering a droopy plant and locating the robotic vacuum cleaner and placing it back on its dock for the next cycle of cleaning. We returned home to calm contented cats. We appreciate all the Subi did for our cats and our peace of mind.”

They enjoy running around the yard and playing—but are just as happy to relax and lounge around the house. Our Home We have a very dog-friendly home where pups truly get spoiled. Our dogs are welcome on the couch and even sleep in the bed with us, and your dog will be treated exactly the same! Whether your pup prefers walks, backyard playtime, or being lazy and cuddly, we’re happy to follow their routine. Family & Environment We do have children in the home, and they are gentle, respectful, and love dogs just as much as we do. Our yard is fully fenced, and we have kennels and baby gates available if needed—your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities.

We can’t wait to welcome and spoil your fur baby! 🐾💛 We both work Full time, and would be around in the early mornings, and then back in the evening for walks, and playtime. Your pup will be in the house with our two dogs, while at work. Fully Fenced in yard, plenty of space to burn energy. Crate available if preferred to sleep or be in while we are at work. Toys, treats, and snuggles!
“Jackie helped make it possible for me to get my new Lab puppy! As a single working gal I wasn’t sure if I could make it happen. This wasn’t part of my life plan right now. Doggie daycares will not take puppies until 16-24 weeks because they they need to be fully vaccinated. I reached out to Jackie prior to making my final decision. She responded to me immediately to say she would love to help us out. Her response helped me make my final decision to get the dog. I brought the puppy home 2 weeks later. We did a meet and greet and Jackie has been helping care for Finley ever since. She has been absolutely amazing! Jackie has been able to come in twice a day while I’m at work. She does a great job communicating regarding scheduling or with updates regarding Finley’s care and training. Jackie is very organized and easy to work with. I know my sweet puppy is in good hands under her care. Jackie comes highly recommended by me. She’s a lifesaver!”


About: I've been around dogs since I was little, and with what I do for work, I have a lot of experience with all kinds of breeds and levels of energy! My dogs are my life, and coming home to my them is the best part of my day! I love taking them to the dog park, and working on casual training! I have a fenced yard, and I live on a cul-de-sac in an area not too close to many busy roads. My dogs are fed once in the morning and once in the evening, and are let outside more times per day than I can count. Playtime is a must, and my girls love tug! If I care for a pet in another home, I love details and preferences, so as to make the pet sitting experience more comfortable for pets and owners.
“April was my first Rover feeder and I couldn’t have been happier. She went the extra mile (brought in packages, sent pictures, gave pets) and communicated amazingly. I will be remembering her services for next time.”

“Tina is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of my two cats, who are so sweet but also high maintenance and she did so well! They both had accidents and she cleaned them, plus set up treats and puzzles for them which I appreciated so much. I am most definitely reaching out anytime I need a sitter, thank you Tina!”


“What a blessing to find Juli! She is so knowledgeable about dogs and has so much love for them. My Valentine has a special bond with her. I recommend her without any hesitation. Thanks Juli!”

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I care for every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with a large, active German Shepherd and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. While I do have a resident dog, every pet's comfort and safety comes first. My home allows dogs to be separated when needed, and I'm happy to provide individual walks, feeding routines, and personalized attention so every dog has a positive experience. What sets me apart is my communication and attention to detail. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where your pet is treated like family. I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I work from home several days each week and have flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and prioritize keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience so your pet feels right at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I also have a friendly resident German Shepherd who enjoys other dogs, so guest dogs should be comfortable around larger breeds. That said, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. My home is set up so dogs can be separated if needed, and I always supervise introductions and interactions. I'm happy to provide individual walks, feed according to your dog's normal schedule, administer oral medications if needed, and accommodate crate routines if that's what your dog is used to. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. We have a toddler in our home (who has grown up with our dog and is respectful), so guest dogs should be comfortable around young children. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and family members.
About: Hi, I’m Amelia — lifelong animal lover, professional cuddler, enthusiastic dog-walker, and firm believer that every pet deserves to be treated like the VIP they are. 🐾 Whether your pup wants to run around the park until their tongue is on the ground, your kitty prefers a quiet afternoon of cuddles, or your pet’s idea of fun is simply having someone around to keep them company, I’m here for it! I love animals of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and levels of chaos. I’ll happily match their energy — from adventure buddy to couch companion — and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and treats (where permitted, of course!). Your pets are family, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I'm always outdoors and I love exploring new parks. I have a flexible work schedule and I'm always up early. Whether it's early morning walks, lunch time to run around the park, or an evening stroll to get some of that energy out, I get joy out of being outside and being active, and I will bring your pet with me and we'll have a blast. First and foremost, I respect your rules in terms of indoor, outdoor or outside time. I always clean up after your pets, whether it's outside or in the litter box. I make sure their water is always fresh and any stray food is cleaned up. I love to brush and snuggle, making sure your pet is getting the attention they need, especially when they're human is away.

“My boy and girl kitties love Mexi! My girl is a bit shy but came right up to her. Loved the pictures she took too I could tell they were in good hands . They were not too mad at me when I came back, which means they did not feel abandoned.”

About: I love animals of all ages. I have no specific preference on age at all. I have my own anxious pup who has taught me a lot; so the anxious pups have a special place in my heart! I work full time as a PCA so I am available in the afternoons/evening typically around 5pm and anytime during the weekends (Saturdays & Sundays). I am able to help out with dog specific training; i.e “sit” “stay” “come”, etc. With the owners ways and regulations. I will also take walks, play fetch or even a game of tug-a-war! Special diets and eating habits do not bother me at all!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I currently have 4 amazing dogs of my own, I foster and volunteer for a local rescue so I have worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and needs. Whether it’s snuggles on the couch, long walks, play time, or calm companionship, I’m here to give your dog all the care, love and attention they deserve while you are away. I believe in treating every dog like my own-with patience, kindness and fun. I provide regular updates and photos, so you'll never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, I'll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and happy. Let's set up a meet & greet-l'd love to meet you and your furry best friend! I currently work full time so am available any day after 3 to bring your pup for a walk, feed them or bring them to my house to play with my dogs. I can make any night work for overnight care. I live in a dog-loving home with a secure, dog-friendly environment. My own dogs are well-socialized and friendly, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I am also available to come to your home to take care of your dog if preferred.

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while you’re away. I’ve spent several years working in veterinary medicine, where I’ve cared for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. My experience has taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, administer medications when needed, and help pets feel comfortable and safe, even in unfamiliar situations. Pet care naturally fits into my weekly routine because caring for animals is already what I do every day. I work full-time in veterinary medicine, so my schedule revolves around the health and well-being of pets. Through Rover, I’m excited to spend even more time doing what I love by providing personalized care outside of the clinic. I’m available for visits on select workdays, especially before or after my shifts, and I have much greater flexibility on my days off. I’m available for visits on select workdays, especially before or after my shifts, and I have much greater flexibility on my days off for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to provide reliable, compassionate care that fits seamlessly into their routine while giving you peace of mind.

About: Hi, I’m Bree! I’ve had pets my entire life and have always been a little obsessed with animals. I have two Frenchies of my own, so I know firsthand that pets have their own personalities, routines, and very (emphasis on very!) strong opinions. I used to sit regularly through Rover and am getting back into it, focusing on walks and drop-ins for now. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention, snuggles (if they want, of course), stick to their routine, and treat them like they’re my own. And yes, I will absolutely send you a photo (or ten!) of your dog looking cute while you’re away!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lexington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lexington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lexington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
