“I'm very pleased with the services that Tricia G provided for us. This was something very new to us cause we normally have family to help out but they wasn't available at the time. But I can say that I would recommend her to anyone that needs service and we would most definitely us her again. Thanks so much Tricia we greatly appreciate it.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for 13 years. No kids and or animals at home. I love animals and welcome cats and dogs of any size or breed. I live walking distance from a soccer field with a great track for walks. Both of my senior dogs crossed the rainbow bridge recently and before their passing we had a nice routine going. I work nearby and will come home on my breaks to check on the pups and take them out on pee breaks. I have Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays off, which I normally spend at home or on hikes at local parks. I do not have a fenced in yard. However, I have no issue with pets on the furniture and I have a spare room for crates.
“Gabriel did a great job at looking after our kitties and following our instructions, even with construction going on in our house while we were gone! He is nice and pleasant and I thoroughly appreciated his help. We had no issues at all! Recommend booking for drop in cat visits!!”

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“Bear's picture is so cute again today! He looks very happy and relaxed and he wasn't stressed at all when we got home yesterday. Sounds like Charlie is the right fit for this little dog! Thank you Charlie!”

I’m a healthcare professional of 10 years—reliable, attentive, and calm under pressure. As a mom of two with an active lifestyle, I bring steady, grounded energy that animals respond well to.

I work full time but friday evening- sunday night I'm fully devoted to playing with and caring for your critters! My animals are cared for diligently by my family on the weekends at home so that I have the flexibility to come to you. We are currently working on building kennels and a separate playyard for animal care at our home however the our projected start date is not until October.
“Thank you Christopher for your help. He was great with communication and he even arrived early for the check ins. I have a 1 year old and she is still potty training and gets anxious while I’m away. She left a surprise, but he was still willing to help and clean it up and I really appreciate that and still felt bad. I’m grateful he took the extra step, thank you.”

About: Ive taken care of all sorts of animals from dogs to bearded dragons! Not a fan of tarantulas though.. you’ll find me with the animals at the function instead of the people I have a part time job at mossys in Clemmons and my scheduling there is all over the place so I will try my best to keep my schedule here up to date My cats have a fenced in back yard they can roam and get some exercise. And I have an obstacle course for my chameleon so she can get of her enclosure!
“I am so thankful we were able to find Valerie to look after our babies. She sent updates, photos, and video providing us peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely choose her again and again.”

“Sanya is very attentive to our dogs during her visits. She is on time and stays for the duration requested. She is also respectful of our home. I highly recommend her services.”
About: • Feed and entertain a variety of pets. • Walk dogs for exercise and companionship. • Communicate with pet owners to understand their concerns. • Record animal information, such as dietary intake and treatments. • Grooming dog breeds as needed. • I also have experience with intensive care and disabled dogs. (Our sweet fur baby, Miracle, got sick from a tick when we were traveling and developed a brain infection. She was paralized and blind for 3 months! Thankfully, with the help of our vet and our intensive care provided at home, she is still slightly blind but she has made a full recovery!) I am available nearly all the time. The only exception would be when we are visiting our family that lives out of state. This is usually in July and December! We have 8 children who are use to being around a variety of animals all the time. I have three friendly dogs and four friendly cats. I also have chickens and goats that are in their own fennced area. I can crate your dog and administor medications if needed.
About: Hello, I have been around dogs, cats, chickens and horses my entire life. Animals are such a gift to us and they deserve special care. I will ensure lots of fun, love and care for your pet(s) during your time away. I look forward to caring for your furbabies. Exercise, games and positive reinforcement are my favorite methods of interaction with pets. I have had hens in the past and even taught my girls to play games like peek a boo and trained them to come when called. I currently have a six year old Mini Australian Shepherd named Patch and a one year old Havanese named Penny. They are a joy and definitely keeps me active. I believe in communication and will stay in touch during your time away with updates about your pets. I am retired and am available anytime to care for your pets. I am an avid animal lover and mini farmer. I have a degree in Horticulture and am an avid gardener. I have experience with dogs, cats, Horses, birds, fish, chickens. Out dogs are property limits trained and it helps that they love us so much they never want to leave us. We walk with harness & leash and play hide and seek in the back yard often. I will follow all my clients rules and keep your pets safe and secure.
“Kelly was awesome! I had last minute travel plans for the holidays and had never used Rover before, but I’m glad I did! She was prompt, communicative, and sent detailed updates/pictures so I could have peace of mind while away from my kitties. She even went above and beyond by offering to bring in my mail and cleaning up a mess one of my cats made. I would recommend her services to anyone!”

“I just love reading Bear's report cards after Soph's visits! It sounds like he's really coming around to her and this makes my heart smile knowing he gets these breaks and attention when we are away at work!”


About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life and have years of experience pet sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and helping with daily pet care like feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I focus on providing reliable, attentive care and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work part-time! I’m available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 11AM - 8PM. I’m not available on Wednesday or Thursday. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and daily care so pets feel safe and secure in their familiar environment. I always treat both your pet and your home with respect. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while you’re away, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and well cared for until you return.
About: I have worked with multiple types of animals throughout my life. I started a dog walking/washing business at 13 and worked for a short period of time as a pet groomer. I have cared for mainly dogs and cats, but growing up we also had birds, Guinea pigs, snakes, bearded dragons, hermit crabs, horses and fish! I am currently a new stay at home mom who has multiple side gigs, so my availability is very open most days of the week! We have a very energetic toddler and a lovable dog named Alpha. Alpha has grown up around both dogs and cats, and loves making new friends! We would love to host your pet at our home, where they will have fun in a safe environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lexington on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,456 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 99% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
