About: I have taken care of dogs for a long time, and have taken care of pets for friends and family for 10+ years. I love how different every dog is, and getting to understand how to take their individual needs into account. I do my best to adapt my schedule around the needs of the animals I care for, and currently have a lot of time available to walk, feed, and play with pets in my care. I prefer to have clear instructions when it comes to pet care, and try to keep the care I provide as similar to the care they already receive as possible.
“Friendly and so kind to our fur babies, sending us lots of updates throughout our trip. Brenda was flexible with our unique home sitting situation this time too with some home construction being completed during her time and we couldn't be more thankful!”
“Lily took amazing care of our two dogs and even took them on evening walks that they so love! We appreciated the communication and photos and will absolutely come back to Lily next time that we take a trip!”
“Chelsie did absolutely amazing! She took amazing care of the house and left it in tip top shape. She kept us very updated on the animals and even helped water our plants! We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to everyone. She even gave us a beautiful copy of a drawing of our animals. You can tell she truely cares about the animals and they absolutely loved her! Would give 10 stars if I could.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. I’m currently working part time so I will be available Saturdays from 12a-9p and Sunday 12a-9p. I also will take requests for other days, I can work with you! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.
About: I had a German Shepherd for 14 years. Best friend I ever had. Loyal, protective, never argued or talked back and were always happy to see me! I am retired and make my own schedule. Mornings or evenings. Love dogs. Enjoy walking. They give me joy and serenity and I totally enjoy it. I have a mostly fenced in yard at this point but believe I can seal it off if necessary. Follow instructions to the point and respect property of others and am responsible.

Moth M.
“Last year, I took my son on a trip to Las Vegas for four days, and Moth generously stepped in to care for my pets. Not only did they keep my animals fed and happy, but they also stayed at the house the entire time to make sure everything ran smoothly. When I ended up unexpectedly stranded in Los Angeles for an extra day, Moth didn’t hesitate to extend their stay—watching over my dog and two cats for a total of five days. They maintained the litter box, ensured the pets were well-fed, and even walked my dog daily. I came home to calm, well-cared-for animals and a tidy home. Moth was responsible, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets’ wellbeing. I will absolutely be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter—couldn’t be more pleased!”

Lexington pet parents share their Rover experiences
We recently had the pleasure of having Caitlin look after our Mini Golden Doodle Gigi, from June 14th to June 21st. She was our first dog sitter and this was our first time using Rover. From our initial meeting, we felt at ease with her professionalism and genuine love for animals. During the week, Caitlin sent us daily updates and adorable photos of Gigi enjoying walks and playtime. It was clear Gigi had warmed up, was having a blast and felt comfortable in her care. Caitlin followed all of our instructions. We returned home to a happy dog. We highly recommend Caitlin to anyone looking for dog-sitting services and will absolutely be using them again!
Caitlin did a great job watching Simba while we were away. She sent me pics and took great care of him. She even gave him walks which he loves even through he sniffs more than he walks. Thank you Caitlin for making Simba feel comfortable when we were away. I would recommend Caitlin!!
