LeAnn was very friendly and conscientious with our two cats. She came over before we left to meet them, go over the instructions, and understand where everything is and what needed to be done while we were gone. She spent enough time to play with both cats and give them some much-needed attention. We appreciated her pictures and updates on how the cats were doing. Both of them were comfortable with Leann and were very friendly with her. We are very happy with how she did and plan to use Leann again in the future as our primary cat-care person.

About: For over 5 years, I've been the go-to pet caretaker for many in my community. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I've had the joy of caring for them all. My experience spans walking, feeding, bathing, and even some basic training. Every pet is unique, and I pride myself on recognizing and attending to each one's individual needs. Whether your fur baby needs patience, energy, or a gentle touch, I'm here to provide it. Balancing a remote job gives me the flexibility and opportunity to dedicate substantial time to pet care. I’m fervent about ensuring our furry companions get ample play and attention. I am open for boarding on weekends, and my weekdays post 11am are entirely devoted to caring for pets. Rest assured, your pets will enjoy ample time of fun and care with me! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and with plenty of play space. All pets have access to clean, comfortable resting spots and fresh water at all times. If I'm taking care of pets in your home, I'm respectful of your space and follow all guidelines provided. My goal is to ensure that whether I'm in your home or you entrust your pet in mine, they are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I've always been a pet lover. Did pet sitting as a pre-teen and teenager. I had a soul cat for 15 years and a soul dog for 13 years. I have 2 grand-pups who I often dog sit or just take for a day adventure. I've had guinea pigs, hampsters, fish, you name it. I pass you and your animal on the street don't be offended by me going straight to them first! Animals (all animals) seem to love me back too which I LOVE! I'm currently not working or occasionally working remote contract jobs so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your furr baby! And spoil them I will!!!! I have a condo in Minneapolis near the Sculpture Garden and Loring park. I am on the first floor with a patio and yard so plenty of space to do their business or to take a great walk. My building is small and very pet friendly. I'm also comfortable traveling out to your home since I'm central to the area.

About: I’ve pet sit since I was about 12 years old typically while babysitting! I love all pets so much and think that taking care of them is so fun! Being around animals is like therapy for me, so being able to petsit is something I enjoy so much! I love being able to care and spoil pets while I am with them. I also care and respect you, the owner, if in your house I make sure that it is as clean, if not cleaner, than it was when you left. I also promise to treat your pet like my own. I currently work full time Monday through Friday from 9:45-4 as a nanny. Aside from this time I have a lot of flexibility and would love to help your family! As I said before, your pets are going to feel so loved in your home. I will love on them and give them so many pets! I make sure that if they make a mess I clean it up to keep your home clean and your pets (and you) happy

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all personalities and needs. I currently have two hound mixes and live a very active, pet-focused lifestyle. I have hands-on experience with: • Dogs with anxiety and behavioral needs (including training support) • Senior and special-needs dogs, including hip dysplasia • Administering medications multiple times a day I understand that every pet is different, and I’m very patient, attentive, and focused on making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs, and I can also accommodate crating if needed (I have large crates available). Availability: I work full-time during the day, but I’m typically available after 6 PM on workdays. I also have rotating weekdays and weekends off, which allows for more flexible care—just message me and I’m happy to coordinate! I treat every pet like they’re my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind. I currently work full time day shift. I will generally be available after 6PM but I have random weekdays and wekends off to care for your pets! I have a fenced in yard, and two dog friendly dogs. I have experience with high anxiety and handicap dogs that need medication several times a day. I have two large crates as my dogs are over 50 pounds if that is something that is needed.

Rob was amazing, very punctual and very good with my cats. He did great with administering a pill to my kitty, twice a day. Highly recommend, and would want him to take care of my fur babies if I had to be out of town again.

About: Keep your pets out of the cold kennel and remaining in the comfort of their own home! I’ve been caring for other people’s animals since I was nine years old and over time that’s grown into a deep understanding of the bond between pets and their families. I don’t just watch pets, but step in as a calm, reliable presence so they can maintain their routine and sense of security while you’re away. I’m especially attentive to behavior and communication. Whether it’s managing doorbell triggers, easing separation anxiety, or reinforcing good habits, I work with your pet as an individual. My goal is always a smoother, more balanced experience for both you and your animal. I also have experience with pets who require a higher level of care, including those prone to seizures, pets with mobility challenges, and animals with heightened anxiety around storms or fireworks such as my own Australian Shepard. In those moments I prioritize patience and creating a comforting environment. When you book with me, you’re not just getting coverage, you’re getting consistency, daily communication, and peace of mind. I provide thoughtful updates and make sure you always know your pet is safe and cared for. I’ve been on Rover since 2018 and have built long term relationships with clients who trust me not just me with their pets, but as a friend. That level of bonding is something I aim to earn with every new client. My rates reflect the level of care, attention, and reliability I provide while keeping your pet out of the kennel and inside their own spaces. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with the same attentiveness and respect you do, I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your needs. I take on pet appointments around providing smart home in house support and installation and do my best to accommodate your pet's needs and schedule. At your residence I try to keep your pets on their normal schedule when it comes to diet, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime. My "rental dogs" tend to get more walks with me than they do with their owners as I view it as my own gym time that the dogs also love. During overnight stays I am very respectful of client's homes and have been known to vacuum and do the guest room laundry prior to their return from vacation. I have a Toy Australian Sheppard named Vheissu (pronounced V-Sue) who lives with me half of the time, so if your dog comes over for daycare they may have a playmate.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

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

As of August 2026, there are 5,593 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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 .

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 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
