About: I love dogs. I grew up with dogs and have been watching them for over 10 years. When your pup is with me, they are family, and I promise to treat them with the exact same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. I absolutely love going on walks and hitting up the dog park. I have lots of energy, so I am always more than happy to keep up with 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 fast best friends. Please let me know what other information I can provide to earn 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!
“Ashley has given me such peace of mind about having to leave my dog Max at home now that I'm commuting to work again. She visited us the evening before their walks began, and was so relaxed and patient with him that I knew he'd have a great time with her. The pictures and summaries she sent of the walks were an extra way I could tell that all was well. I couldn't be happier! Thank you, Ashley!”
About: I genuinely love animals and provide dependable, compassionate care. From playful puppies to senior pets, I bring patience, energy, and plenty of love to every pet I care for. Pet care is a natural part of my life. I love spending time with my pets and sharing outdoor adventures with them. I bring that same attentive, loving care to every pet I look after. I prioritize every pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being. I provide attentive care, exercise, playtime, consistent routines, and medication when needed. With two energetic dogs of my own, I know how important patience, affection, and enrichment are. We love camping, exploring dog parks, and taking long walks and I bring that same energy and care to every pet I look after.
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, and small animals my entire life, both my own and for friends or neighbors. Working in environmental conservation, I naturally love animals and being outdoors, and I volunteered at a shelter for several years. I enjoy exploring local trails and would love to bring your dog on a run or hike whenever I get the chance. I live near a dog park, and I bring fresh water and waste bags on every trip. I am attentive to all your pets needs and can administer basic medications. I work part-time in the evenings so will have plenty of time throughout the day to feed, exercise, and care for your pet! I live in a standalone house, my neighborhood has trails and a dog park, and I have a large yard. I like taking long walks and making sure your pet gets their energy out. I go above and beyond for you and your beloved pet, sending photos and checking in with you regularly. They will have plenty of space in my home. If I am house sitting, I care for your home as well, including cleaning or bringing in your mail. I have a green thumb so will be attentive to any plants you have that may need care, too.
About: I have lots of patience for all kinds of animals with all kinds of behaviors. I am passionate about cats, dogs, and any pet I meet. I am often the favorite human to the animals in my life. I currently have a part time job but am planning to do full time school in the fall. I will have time outside of classes, and plenty of time over the summer, to care and play with your pets! I will try to get to know your pet as best I can. I am flexible and willing to snuggle, play, go on walks or look out the window with your furry friend. If I am ever watching pets in my own home I have a very friendly 30 lb terrier mix that loves to play with other dogs.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I've always had pets, cats and dogs. My family and friends always have me care for their pets when they need to go out of town or need extra help. I'm always happy to help as I truly do enjoy the connection I have with animals. I have a schedule that allows me to have several days off a week, have a reliable vehicle and I am open to different situations as needed. I would put the safety of the pet's home and their well being as a top priority and make sure to be thorough. I would communicate any concerns or questions with the pet owner.
“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!”
About: I’ve loved animals all my life and love caring for them! 🩷 I previously worked as a Pet Care Technician and cared for dogs and cats each day of the week. I have the skills to handle dogs of all sizes and breeds. My schedule is open in the mornings & afternoons and occasional evenings. I would love to get in contact with you to schedule a meet & greet to see if I’m a good fit ☀️ I am available to come and hang out with your animals at your house and give them the exercise and cuddles they need! I can also do any feeding or other activities that are wanted.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs gave me a deep understanding of the unique bond between pets and their families. As an adult, I spent six wonderful years caring for my own Standard Poodle, which taught me the nuances of high-energy breeds, regular grooming needs, and the importance of daily mental stimulation. What sets me apart is the same dedication I bring to my role as a leader and a parent. I approach pet care with patience, reliability, and a keen eye for detail. Whether it’s maintaining a consistent routine, ensuring safety, or simply providing extra cuddles, I treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I would give my own. You can trust that your furry family member is in capable, caring hands. I work from home 3 out of 5 days. I don't live far from my office, so on the days I work in the office, I can come home for walks. When hosting pets in my home, my top priority is creating a safe, welcoming, and calm environment. I believe that a dog’s comfort comes from consistency and genuine care, which is why I prioritize maintaining your pet's established routines regarding feeding, exercise, and rest. My home is perfectly set up for active and happy dogs. We have a decent-sized, secure yard for quick outdoor play, and we are located in a highly walkable neighborhood with easy access to local parks and trails, perfect for daily sniff-and-stretch walks. What makes my home unique is that your pet will be part of our family. My 4-year-old child is a huge animal lover who enjoys helping with gentle care, like supervised playtime and giving treats. Because my child is so involved, I am very intentional about ensuring that every dog I host is comfortable around children and that interactions are always calm, supervised, and positive. Whether it’s a quiet afternoon of belly rubs or an energetic walk on a nearby trail, I ensure every guest feels right at home. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in a secure, loving environment where they will be treated like one of our own.
About: I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties in my last 10 years. I can walk them, feed them (any allowed treats will be given), I can administer their medication. I also take care of kitties! I clean litter boxes, feed them, play with them and give them premium chin scratches! It fits perfectly. I love to create a routine with regular walks and form bonds with the kitties or puppies! I am not afraid of any breed, they are all puppies in my eyes. I make them as comfortable as possible, I treat them with respect and love. I always follow the directions provided by the owner to the letter!
“I needed someone to walk my huskies today as I am sick and it was my first time using Rover. Carolina was on time, friendly and my dogs are both happily napping. Would definitely use her again!”
About: I have always loved any type of animal. I started watching my neighbors and families dog at around 12 and I love the work because it doesn’t even feel like a job. I am always trusted to get your pet the most love and care that they would receive if you were here. I am currently working early mornings everyday but Sunday and Monday till 12:30 pm and after that I am free the rest of the day to let out dogs, walk them, play with them and give them lots of loves. I have a fenced in yard and my golden retriever is so friendly and she loves playing with other dogs. We have a crate incase that is needed
About: I’ve taken care of friends’ pets since I was young. I love all kinds of animals and love meeting new dogs. I like all kinds of pet personalities as well! I don’t have any pets of my own but I like helping pet owners on rover to fill my pet fix. I’m usually free evenings and weekends. I also work hybrid so my work schedule is flexible. I live in Minneapolis but am open to driving. I live near a dog park and have access to lots of dog friendly trails. I love staying active and being outside. Excited to meet you and your dog(s)!
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds and a wide variety of other animals. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them everything they need! As a student in wildlife biology I have a fairly flexible schedule. Please contact me about days that are not immediately listed on my profile. Walks, cuddles, feeding, playing, medicating, cleaning up after, and general husbandry/enrichment are just the start of what I can provide for your pets. Please let me know about any particular services you may need!
“Rachel was FANTASTIC! Great communication & she spent extra time the first day getting to know our dog Roxi & making her feel comfortable.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Lexington is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 88% 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 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.
