“We could not have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Luna! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—and that peace of mind only grew while we were away. She went above and beyond, playing endless games of ball with Luna (which is her love language!) and keeping us updated with the sweetest photos and notes. It was clear she wasn’t just “watching” Luna—she was engaging, caring, and genuinely enjoying their time together. We’re so grateful and will absolutely be booking again!”


“Abby is wonderful and I would highly recommend her. We did an initial meet and greet and I immediately felt comfortable with her. We were gone for 11 days and Abby stayed at our home with our 5 pound Yorkie. We choose an in home sitter because our dog has major separation anxiety. Abby sent us daily updates and pictures and our dog was living her best life as usual!! We already have our next stay scheduled with Abby.”


“Jessica was so kind and took great care of our anxious pup! She updated everyday with pictures and how things were going. She stayed in our home and left it in great condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone!”


About: Hi there! I’m Citara – a single mom with a big heart for animals! I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cozy visits with your cat, I treat every pet like my own. Reliable, caring, and flexible – I’m here when you need me. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have flexible availability, especially during evenings and weekends. I currently work during the day part of the week, but I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends for pet sitting or walking. I love being around animals, so spending time caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and make time for. It’s not just a side job—it’s something that brings me peace and purpose. I provide pet care in the comfort of the client’s home because I believe pets feel most safe and relaxed in their own environment. I follow all routines and instructions carefully—from feeding and walks to playtime and medications—so your pet’s day stays as normal as possible. I treat every home with respect and every pet with patience, love, and attention. Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I always make sure your pet is secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“Kelly was fantastic! She stayed with our dog at our house for three nights. Our dog was so well taken care of, happy, and enjoyed his time with her. She kept us updated each day with messages and photos. We will use her again when we need someone. Thank you!!”


“Torie took great care of my doggies and my home! She is always so sweet and attentive with my pups, and she did a great job of checking in and giving me updates while I was out of town.”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and animals hold a special place in my heart . I’m currently a Pre-Veterinary student at the University of Central Missouri, and for the past five years, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at Pleasant Hill Animal Clinic, where my dad is a veterinarian. I’ve also been pet sitting for the past two years, caring for pets of all ages—from playful 10-month-old to sweet 12-year-old seniors. I have experience administering medications, including insulin injections for diabetic dogs, and I always make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I truly consider the dogs I care for as part of my extended family, and I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend and give them the same love and attention I’d give my own. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant, and I’m typically available every day except Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. On those days, I occasionally have morning or afternoon availability, and I’m always available after 6 PM. I offer in-home care, boarding, and drop-in visits. Even on my busiest days, I always have a lunch break, so I’m never away from pets in my care for more than six hours at a time. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are my top priority, and I strive to provide dependable, loving care at all times. I have a fully fenced yard and one friendly Great Dane who can be easily kenneled or separated as needed. My home also features a dedicated, dog-proofed room that’s perfect for free roaming and playtime. Whether your pup prefers quiet relaxation or active engagement, I’m able to provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their needs.

“Jenny was amazing and put our minds at ease knowing our Luna was taken care of. She was recently adopted and still getting acclimated to our home when we had to suddenly leave town. She kept us updated and sent pictures!”

About: Growing up I have always had at least two dogs in the house. In high school I got a cat, and in college I got fish. I love all animals and since moving to Charleston this past July, I have been missing that part of my life. I have done casual dog and house sitting in the past 5 years and have had nothing but positive experiences. I am a very attentive sitter who will make you and your animals feel comfortable with my care. I am doing online schooling currently, so I have a very open schedule during the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Weekends are a bit more full, but I can accommodate anything in the mornings or evenings. Routine is super important for animals and humans alike, so whatever schedule you have in place will always be adhered to. Time management is a skill of mine so any medications or feeding schedules will also be taken care of. I’ll treat your pets and your home like it’s my own and make sure to take care of anything you require during the booking.

About: We’re a pet-loving home with 3 cats and 2 sweet senior dogs—all friendly, spayed/neutered, and great with guests! Your pet will feel right at home with plenty of love, snuggles, and playtime. I am available everyday, if I am boarding in my home I am available to come and go a lot. If boarding in your home I am available to stop by multiple times during the day/night. I have a fenced yard & two senior dogs who enjoy company. They’re still young at heart! 3 cats who are very social and enjoy new faces.

About: I have had two dogs my whole life and love animals. I’ve always watched over my friends and family’s loved pets for them, while they were away. They have always loved my services. I take feedback (good and bad) as well so if there is something you want exactly your way, I will try my best to accommodate it! I have a very flexible schedule and would love to meet your pets! I have references, and ratings to go with, as well! I take last minute bookings and if you prefer your animal stay at your house, I do make common visits when you prefer. I take lots of pictures to keep you updated and I’m very communicative. Your loved one is my loved one, and will be treated as if it were my own. I have a completely free schedule. I am home all day and have 100% attention to your loved one. I am consistent with any schedule you already have just let me know! I have a 10 acre yard so they will have lots of room to play and have the most fun they ever could! I’ll be your best pet sitter.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and other small dogs since I was 15. Neighbors and friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’ll be able to walk anytime. I try to get out in the fresh air daily as needed. So excited! I have a friendly, lovable dog that will keep you fur baby company. I also will make sure the pet is well feed. I can easily crate if needed.

About: I treat every dog like family—not just a job. I learn their quirks, their favorite toys, and what makes their tail wag. I build trust with both dogs and their humans, creating a calm, loving environment that feels like home. I will ALWAYS send updated pictures a videos! Even with a full-time job, pet care is a priority I plan around, not squeeze in. I only accept clients I can fully commit to—meaning your pet gets the time, energy, and attention they deserve. I offer early morning, evening, and weekend care, and I’m highly organized to keep everything running smoothly. Pet care isn’t a side hustle for me—it’s a passion I build into my daily life. When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structure. I stick closely to their home routines—feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits—so they feel secure and comfortable. I make sure they get mental stimulation, physical activity, and lots of love throughout the day. In-home care means your pet stays in their familiar space, which helps reduce stress. I keep everything consistent with your instructions—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, play, and downtime. I respect your home like it’s my own and always send updates, photos, and quick check-ins to keep you at ease while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs all my life and always thought of them as family! I have worked with Great Danes, labs, pitbulls, dachshunds, and Yorkies. I currently have a 2 year old black bully mix named Patrick, he's my best friend and shotgun rider!

And have had a pup my whole entire life! I have learned many skills with being able to accommodate with dogs that may have disabilities or are just a bit on the older side. I am currently working at a doggy daycare that teaches us about all kinds of dogs and how they may respond to certain situations. I work with dogs from the size of little teacup Yorkies to Mastiff’s . I also love to build a relationship with a pup so they don’t always feel alone when their owner may be gone. We also have the responsibility of measuring the feedings. Also don’t ever hesitate to ask me to maybe grab that mail for ya or to check on your flowers!! Overall I really love working with the pups. Let me know if you have any questions!! I work about 4-5 days a week at my current job. I will almost always be off on Tuesdays Wendesdays and Saturdays!

I will always let you know if anything changes in my work schedule!! I haven’t quite done the whole coming and taking care of a clients animal at their home before so it will be a little new to me.

As well as having toys around to entertain the pup as well as possibly some treats if we are going to be working on a few simple skills. I will always make sure to read a dog and if they are not liking how I am acting I will stop and move on. Or possibly give the dog a second to relax.

Over 7 pet parents in Lexington have booked house sitting
Lexington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Adrienne is an amazing sitter. She's kind, she's patient and she's very intuitive. She cares deeply about people and animals. I have a somewhat challenging hoard of pets-an old half blind dog, an antsy spaniel, antisocial and social cats. Every one of them warmed up to her quickly. The pets were all calm and happy when I got home. Because of her I could truly enjoy my vacation because I didn't have to worry about anything! She tailored every day to their - and my - needs. I recommend her to everyone!
