“TEN STARS ALL DAY!! Tiffany and family were incredible with my Great Dane baby, Coffee! I've never felt so comfortable leaving him with a sitter before. I'm a dog sitter as well, and Tiffany is the only sitter I'll ever use again for my own dog. Pictures and updates daily, fabulous, and prompt communication. Thanks again Tiffany!”
“I have 2 small, senior dogs with special diets and medicines three times daily. One can have a "grumpy old man" attitude. They had not stayed with anyone but family & friends in the 2 & 4 years I've had them. Rumi and her husband were absolutely wonderful with them (and with me ☺️)! They were very flexible with me when my drop off schedule kept changing. She sent me pictures, videos, updates. The dogs always looked content. She advised me at pick up of a lump they felt on one dog. I highly recommend and will be using again.”
“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Caitlin was my first ever go at using the Rover app & the first place my dogs have ever stayed without us. It felt as heavy hearted as leaving children with a sitter for the first time. I quickly realized that our 1.5 year old Corgi & 8 year old Black Lab were in the BEST of hands. Caitlin went ABOVE + BEYOND for our babies. Our Black Lab has severe separation anxiety due to being locked in a closet all of her puppyhood. She's attached to my hip and sleeps with us in our bed every night since we came in her life, always needing to be touching me in some way when sleeping. Caitlin knew of our dogs background & let our dog sleep on the sofa to be comfortable, attempting to give her a chance at some independence. She quickly realized that Iona (our black lab) was feeling way too anxious to be by herself. She didn't hesitate or have any i'll feelings towards Iona & compassionately chose to sleep on the couch with her. That spoke volumes to us. To show that much compassion for a dog that is only with you 1 night & you've never met prior to this.... was just stellar to us!!! I COULD NOT RECOMMEND CAITLIN MORE!! She was such a doll & so accommodating! She was able to take us on as her clients last minute, the day of. Such a beautiful soul inside and out! Thank you again Caitlin! Will be back ASAP! 10 out of 10!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and a firm believer of caring for someone’s baby as if they were my own! I have anxiety leaving my babies for work or vacations and will always be understanding and empathetic to you and your babies during that time! I do work a normal 9-5 throughout the week, as a STNA doing home health, but I have Thursdays and Sundays off and available for all day help you may need! I’m also available for sitting overnight or multiple nights in your home or mine! I do have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own but my doggos are big puppy lovers and love play dates! As an STNA, I am in people’s homes all day everyday and just as I’ve been trusted the last four years with loved ones in the form of the elderly I take care of, I can be trusted with your loved ones in the form of fur babies 🫶🏼 I have a fenced in yard and two playful doggos always looking for play dates! As well as a puppy pool and plenty of toys that my doggos love to share! In your home, I love a good list of your pups routine and will stick to it to keep them happy and comfortable!
“Kaily and Matt were great!!! They bailed us out in a pinch by watching our two pugs. We received numerous photos and videos of their time away. Couldn’t be more thankful for the care our dogs received and the services Kaily and Matt provided!! Thanks”
About: I’m very active, and love all animals. Trust and being reliable is important, Especially when it comes to our loved ones. I have reoccurring clients for references, if needed.

I also enjoy walking the dogs, on a daily basis, to walk off some energy!
“Keylor and Grace were wonderful!!! They took such good care of our puppy and were very accommodating and flexible as well as responsive to messages. I really appreciated the pics of Buddy and updates on how he was doing as well!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Stephanie was professional, knowledgeable and nurturing to our big baby German Shepherd. Throughout our 12 day vacation we received numerous communications about her health and wellbeing. We were able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing that our pup was being taken care. We highly recommend Stephanie and will continue to partner with her to take care of our most precious family member.”
“I would recommend melody to anyone. I felt comfortable leaving my Scooby Doo while going off on a weekend family trip. He had a good time. I would use her again in the future as well.”
About: I've had dogs and cats ever since I was 10 and have helped take care of them. I have baby sat my sister's dog and my friend’s dog. I also volunteered at the humane society for a day. I'm an online college student and a mom. I'll have plenty of time to help with your pets. I’m available anytime on the weekend, but I may have my son with me. During the week I work from 6:30am-3:30pm I do have two guinea pigs and I have a three year old boy that loves animals. I am very gentle and will treat your pets with love and care.
About: I helped train my mom’s 2 pit puppies and taught them tricks (shake, sit, etc.) I will love them like no other just like they’re my own! I am willing to spend majority of the week , every week, doing what I love most ! Whether that is having animal sleepovers , sightseeing , or just making sure they are fed and happy , I can always make time for you & your animals needs & wants . I have a kitten & a dog that just got out of their puppy stages ! I know what it’s like to have the mischievous zoomies ,the crazy jumping puppy kisses , and the leash pulling sniffers , but know how to handle it in a way that your animal will always be safe while with me .
“Angellynn was absolutely great! She took wonderful care of my 8-year-old dog and treated her just like she was at home. Ginger loved all the attention she got from them. They played with her and loved her. I will definitely be taking Ginger to stay with Angellynn again. Highly recommend her!”
“Jen is so welcoming and makes you feel good knowing she'll love your fur baby the same as you do. She even gets up super early with ours bc he's used to our schedule. She's a gem I've used her 2xs now and will continue.”
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs since I was 13. My family had an Australian Blue Heeler, Irish Wolfhound, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Boxers. I currently have two Bernese Mountain Dogs who are the loves of my life! I have experience with dogs as small as Chihuahuas and large as my Berners. I spend a lot of time playing, training, and walking/hiking with the dogs I care for. I like to keep them engaged! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which gives me the ability to care for and play with my own dogs and your dogs. Dogs have improved my life immensely, and I try to repay the unconditional love by providing them with an awesome day, every day. I have a fenced in yard and two animal loving Bernese Mountain Dogs to keep your family happy and engaged. Juli is 4 years old and incredibly gentle with all living things. Cooper is 9 months old and definitely a big puppy. I also have room dividers/doggy gates if your pup needs space or time alone. We love going on walks and taking hikes in the surrounding parks, but I’m also intentional about taking time to calm down and relax (when needed)! I understand the importance of limiting exercise for puppies, especially growing large breed dogs, as well as making sure temperaments and play styles match with playmates!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lexington on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 59 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lexington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lexington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lexington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
