About: I love dogs and obviously you love dogs since you are looking at my profile to see if I would be a good fit. I have grown up with dogs. I absolutely love to go on walks and go to the dog park! I have lots of energy so I am more than happy to watch a super active dog! I am a kid at heart, so I can promise you that your dog will love my personality and we will become new best friends! Please let me know what other information I can provide to be granted the opportunity to watch your furry friend! Thanks for checking out my profile! I work a hybrid schedule so I can work from home when needed. My office also allows dogs so I can bring them to work! We have a home with a nice sized yard. We have two boys with lots of energy. They love animals. We aren’t ready to take on a dog as a family so this is how we get our fix in!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 30 years of experience caring for family pets. Feeding, walking, playing, and giving them lots of love has always been a natural part of my life. We don’t have any pets of our own right now, so we’re excited for the opportunity to love on and care for other people’s pets! Every pet is unique, and I’ll make sure yours feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your furry family member like one of my own. We are business owners and a homeschool family with 4 animal loving kids without any pets of our own right now- we would love the opportunity to love on your pets when you can't! We have a mostly fenced in yard and a walking path! We enjoy being active and always choose pet friendly locations wherever we go! Our goal is to keep your pet feeling loved and safe when in our care! If you're open to children tagging along & your pup is comfortable with us we would love make this a family venture, but understand if that doesn't make sense for you!
About: I am a dog lover through and through. We recently had to say Good Bye to our nearly 16 year old cockapoo and I want to live other people's dogs now! I have watched my friends Goldendoodle on occasion. Most of my dog sitting experience is with my own dogs and for my friends with dogs. I would love to meet and play with your dog! We can play fetch or go for long walks to the park. I will be very protective of your dog and love them as my own. I work two jobs. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays I am done at 3. Wednesday I am done at 1 and Fridays I am done at 12, on the weekends I am.done with work by 9am. Lots of time for dog walking and drop ins. I am very respectful of peoples homes and I would take wonderful care of your dog. We can work together for a great schedule! I would even take them to local youth games (soccer and baseball) if they are good with people especially children.
“Emily did great with my two pups. I hired her to walk the dogs while my parent's dog was staying with me to make sure they got extra attention. My Finn warmed up immediately, Lily took a little bit but she always came home happy from her walk. She was always on time and sent lots of cute pictures as updates.”
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: Growing up on a farm, I’ve helped raise horses, sheep, dogs, cats and even turkeys!! We had a small hobby farm in northern Minnesota. I was the one up at 5 AM as a kid doing all the farm chores. I’m comfortable caring for all types of animals and have been asked by many friends and family to help watch their pets while out of town. I am currently a stay at home mom! I have plenty of time to feed and care for your animals during the day. I am also available for night and weekend check ins and walks! I am super lucky to have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I am very alert and aware while walking any dogs to make sure everyone is safe! In a clients home I am respectful of their space and ensure any home is cleaner than when I arrived.
About: I currently work full time nights at a hospital and I am also previously worked in emergency vet medicine for 4 years. I have always loved animals big and small. I hope to get to care for yours soon! I am here to care for your pets in the exact same way you do while you are away. You just let me know how you would like me to care for them and I will do just that. I have stayed over nights with a Labradors, beagles, golden retriever, Pomeranian, cats, Australian shepherd etc. and we had a blast. I can also give baths as needed or medication if they are on daily pills/oral liquid/shots anything. I hope you will consider me and I hope to help you out soon!!! I do work full time however I work nights so I am home during the day taking care of my own golden. So I am happy to assist you and take care or check in on your baby/babies! I treat your house like my own. I cleaned houses growing up and I always treated others houses with respect and care. If I move/use something I put it back etc.
“Tori is extremely reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. You can tell she is a big pet lover and genuinely enjoys spending time with Maple. She takes great care of her, is attentive to her needs, and keeps us updated, which gives us peace of mind while we’re away. We really appreciate how dependable and caring Tori is. I would definitely give her 5 stars and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible person to care for their pet. Thank you, Tori, for taking such great care of Maple!”
“Kim has been walking my dog for the 2 weeks and she’s been great! It feels great to have a trusted walker take him out while I’m at work and makes the rest of the day so much better for him!”
About: This is my third year taking care of pets through Rover, and I have loved every second of it! I grew up with a cat and two dogs, which helped foster my love for animals and helped provide me with the skills I need to care well for your fur babies! I’ve learned a lot over these past couple of years working with a whole range of different breeds and temperaments of dogs and cats, and it has just fueled my love for taking care of animals! My favorite part about this job is getting to know your fur babies! Every animal has such a unique personality, and figuring out their favorites (like their favorite toy, scratch spot, activity) is the best part of my job! I absolutely love dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, and would love to care for yours in any capacity you are looking for! I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible, which means I will have plenty of time to care for and hang out with your fur babies!! I am not available to host your animal in my home, as I live in an apartment complex! However, I am willing to go on walks and hikes with your fur baby along with going on little drives if needed as I have a vehicle that I am comfortable having animals in! I am also happy to just hang out with your fur baby at your home playing and cuddling!
About: I’ve taken care of and had cats my whole life. I’ve also cared for neighbors/friends/families cats and dogs when they go on vacation. I’ve had experience with many other animals as well such as fish, birds, ferrets, salamanders, bearded dragon, and ive have a pet ball python for 5 years. I currently only work some weekends as a event host so i have lots of free time during the week Mon-Fri and some weekends off too! I have a clean large home and a fenced in back yard. I have a friendly older cat but he can be separated if needed.
“Tiffani took on my big dog, 70lbs. We scheduled a 30 minute walk as a one time appointment. I just needed that one appointment while I healed after surgery. She spent extra time getting to know Buddy and it was overall a very positive experience. Thank you Tiffani.”
“I'm happy to have chosen Joseph to walk my Husky, Maya! He would always show up for our designated time and day to walk Maya, no matter how cold it was. which I really appreciate. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for someone to walk their dog as I always knew she was in good hands. Thank you Joseph!”

I'm working at home so I can spend a lot of times playing with your pet, also I can take them out for potty every 2-4 hours I have a puppy who can keep your pet company when staying with us. I care for dogs so I will make sure they are happy, healthy and safe.
About: Hi! I’m Jessica, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was young. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know each one and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Whether your dog enjoys an active day or prefers to relax and cuddle, I’ll do my best to match their routine and make them feel at home. I live in an apartment with easy access to walking paths and green spaces. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and you can enjoy peace of mind. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing throughout their stay.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
Emily was incredibly patient and caring for my two dogs. My boy can be a bit fussy and my girl is terminally ill. Emily always checked in and made sure that my requests were met and went above and beyond to make sure my little girl was ok. It was a great relief to have her help while I also had an extra dog in the house and to know the dogs were getting exercise and extra attention.
Elizabeth is reliable, personable, and an excellent communicator. We really appreciated Elizabeth’s daily summaries and we highly recommend her! It was helpful to have a brief meeting with her and our dog in advance of the week to discuss our needs and see how they interacted with each other.

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lexington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
