“First time using Rover, and I'm so glad a friend recommended it! Tricia has great communication and attention to detail. She asked questions and everything was great when I got back from my trip. My elderly cat was well cared for. I will definitely book Tricia again!”
“Valerie took care of my 3 cats while I was out of town. When I initially met her, she was great!! I knew that they’d be well taken care of. She was very informative and professional. And she also sent pictures. I would definitely recommend Valerie to anyone to take care of their fur babies!!! Awesome experience!!!😊😊😊”
“Hannah was great and stepped up to help us with short notice. She is very good with a variety of cat personalities and comfortable following all our written notes. She is a quiet presence and allows the cats time to adjust and get to know her.”
About: I can remember owning pets for my entire life and I have been helping care for animals of all kinds for over 40 years. I have experience with puppies, elderly pets, and everything in between. I have also owned and cared for pets with special needs. I am typically available daily to help care for pets. Rover is my only job, allowing me to pursue my passion in caring for dogs and cats. I have a very flexible schedule and will happily discuss last minute bookings and try to fit them in. At this time I am providing drop in visits at the client's home. I have over 40 years of experience in caring for animals, and I have cared for a wide variety. I am comfortable caring for dogs of any age up to 40lbs, and cats of any age. Meet and greet are preferred to allow the pets to recognize me when I come to care for them. I am always happy to discuss any special needs your pet may have, and provide them the best care possible! I will treat them like my own.
“This was the second time booking Tricia to visit my cat while I was out of town. Tricia provided a great service as usual and Smokey was happy to see her again.”
About: I have worked in veterinary hospitals ever since I was 16 years old. I am CPR certified in humans and animals. I have a home full of an Australian Shepherd, two cats and a very quirky turtle. I consider myself to be a bonus mom to all my pet sitting clientele. I do work from home and with my flexible hours, I would love to incorporate more animals into my life. I am very thankful to have a remote job that can follow me anywhere. I work flexible hours that give me plenty of time to give your babies all the love and attention they need while you’re away. I offer in house pet sitting, medication administration, even trained to offer any injectable medication required. I’m huge on sending my clients photos and updates on their pets throughout my stay and keeping them just as connected. I value a one on one to make your animal love me like second mom.
About: I’m a new graduate Physician Assistant with some time before starting my new job, and I’d love to spend that time caring for your pets! I’ve been a dog owner for 15 years, caring for my two Shih Tzu/Maltese mixes, and I also have experience caring for my own cat. I’m comfortable with all the everyday responsibilities that come with pet care, including walks, feeding, keeping litter boxes clean, and making sure pets get plenty of attention, love, and cuddles. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! As a recent physician assistant graduate, I’m currently in the period of waiting for my professional licensing to be finalized. This gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m also flexible and able to commute to provide care in your home or take your pet for walks and outings. I’d love to use this time to spend more time with animals and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific needs or preferences their pet may have. I’m respectful of the home and always make sure the space is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pet is doing well.
“I cannot put into words how amazing this young lady was with Piper and Momma Cat. She went above and beyond with my babies. I highly recommend using her for your furbabies. And I know I'll be using her again.”
About: I’ve had my own pets for over 40 years. They were my babies and I cared for them as such!! They are my heart’s passion. I’m now a healthy strong retired woman who has loved to help family and friends pet sit their 4 legged babies. So I’m opening myself up to others!! I have a safe place to walk animals by my condo and parents with a beautiful back yard to also take them to adventure. It’s just me in my house so it’s clean, safe, simple sweet and quiet atmosphere.
About: I’ve had pets in my home ever since childhood. I make it my priority to put my fur babies first and would do the same with yours! I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, and I pay close attention to details so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and provide reliable care with clear communication and regular updates. I value trust, community, and long-term relationships, and I’m experienced with pets of different ages, temperaments, and needs. I do work a full-time job so my schedule does fluctuate. I am very willing to work out a time and place! I’m here to dedicate my time into taking care of your babies :) Make sure they’re fed accordingly to their diet, insure they have access to water constantly. Check on them multiple times a day and of course give them the attention they need.
“Ashley is amazing. Reliable, responsive, flexible, trustworthy and incredibly kind. She did drop in visits for us for a week while we were away and sent us updates, pictures and videos and made us feel so comfortable knowing our girls were being cared for. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: Growing up I've always had a love for all types of pets, I've had a few family pets that I would take care of as well! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I strive to create a bond with your pets! Usually, I would like to set up an appointment ahead of time to meet your loved ones and we can create a bond, I would like to take this time to see if they're comfortable with me based on body language & behaviors! I have experience working with all kinds of pets, and I've worked at boarding facilities. I have experience working with reactive animals and I currently have a reactive dog!! Any extra knowledge I have is because I have a great sister who is a veterinary technician! I currently work 2 jobs, both of which are Thursday-Sunday. At one of my jobs I work overnight, so there is a possibility I will have to leave to work in the middle of the night and will be back by morning. Along with my 2 jobs, I am also a college student, with that being said I have to attend in-person classes during the week. I am able to care for your loved ones before, between, and after work, and make it a priority to give your animals quality care & all the love I can. If you have any questions about my schedule please feel free to reach out! I keep a close watch on my own pets as well as the pets I look after. I would prefer a list/note of what type of pet care you expect, for instance writing a note with your animal's daily schedule and when/what to feed them! If your babies have any allergies or if there's anything specific you'd like me to know about your pet please also disclose that information. At the end of each stay/visit, I make it a point to include a brief summary of how your pet(s) behave, just to bring you up to speed! I like to send lots of photos and videos of your pet, so keep your phone close to receive ALL the love from back home <3

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lexington is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $18 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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.

As of November 2026, there are 208 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 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 sitter.
