“Kris took such great care of our Reign! She sent daily updates and pictures that helped me truly relax on our first family trip without our dog. We’d highly recommend Kris!”
“We left our two dogs (Chihuahua & French Bulldog), with April, her family and her own dog this past weekend, and we couldn't be happier. We did a meet and greet ahead of the stay, and our boys explored and got to meet everyone. April provided a wonderful, welcoming environment. She communicated well throughout the weekend and sent some snaps, putting our minds at ease. April noted she paid special attention when the weather was warmer outside not to let our frenchie play outside too long. (Which is always a plus knowing someone is giving breed-specific attention with a frenchie) It’s clear they were well-cared for and entertained the entire stay. It’s such a relief to know our boys were in such good hands and had so much fun. We will definitely be booking with April again!”
“Sheri is super communicative and friendly- immediately after our meet and greet I knew our girl was in good hands!! She sent photos and updated us on how Luna was doing. She was fantastic!”

“i was super nervous about leaving my pup with someone i don’t know, but she was absolutely amazing!! she kept me updated everyday with so many pictures and videos, and i know my dog had the most fun time while i was away!! will definitely be my top pick for future trips! :)”
About: Dogs are truly part of the family in my house. I love having them around, and am happiest when I have a dog to play with, love on, and snuggle. What sets me apart is that your pup won’t just be staying with a sitter. They’ll be welcomed into my home and get lots of attention, playtime, affection, and companionship. I’ll handle the responsible side of their care and make sure the routine and needs are followed, while happily providing the extra play and snuggles. I am home full time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My dogs are included in the everyday rhythm of my home, so yours will get plenty of attention and won’t spend long stretches alone. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play, +2 friendly dogs who love having new friends around. Since I am home full-time, pets get lots of attention throughout the day, regular potty and outdoor breaks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. I want visiting dogs to feel comfortable safe and like part of the family while they’re with me.
About: I have always had pets growing up. Animals are such sweet souls that can be so misunderstood. Let me love, and take care of your pet, while promising safety and health! I am currently staying at home with my daughter while my son is in school during the day! This is the perfect way for me to make some extra money while being able to still be a mom. I do not have any pets in my home so safety is my number one priority. I have a fenced backyard and am ready to play with your fur baby!
“Dana is amazing...she's definitely a natural with canines...she has a knack for gaining a dog's trust,she's also well organized and undeterred by the relentless energy of some dogs(mine)...she's officially my go to when I need a sitter for the big fella”
About: Your pets will receive the same love, patience, and attention I give my own—because I believe they deserve to feel loved and right at home. Im retired and a pet lover. I’m home and available seven days a week, allowing me to provide consistent attention, companionship, playtime, care, and love. I will provide safe, loving care in your home or mine. My home has a doggie door leading to the fenced in back yard. Supervised Walks.
“I can always tell my girls love staying with you guys! They’re always just as happy with you as they are with us, and I’m not even sure if they want to come home! Haha. Thank you so much!”
“Bobbie and Greg G were fantastic. Bobbie is very kind. They have a beautiful property with lots of room for your pets to run and play. They're dogs were very sweet and well behaved! I would highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life and enjoy being in their company. I have a 70 pound Stafford Shire Terrier that is friendly with people and other dogs and cats. Pics can be sent as often as requested. If your pet seems bored with just a walk, then we will definitely go for a cruise or hike. I am also certified in Cat and Dog first aid through Redcross. I’m active duty military so I only do check-ins/walks before and after work, during weekends/4day weekends. I will do my best to make sure you pet feels safe around me and has fun. I play with the pets in the back yard to ensure they are being active and not lounging all day, or take them to a dog park or hiking trail if it is ok with owner.
About: What sets me apart is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have two family dogs of my own who live back home with my parents, and I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12. Being away from my dogs makes me miss having that animal love around, so I would truly enjoy giving your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine because my class schedule is pretty flexible and gives me plenty of time throughout the day. On Mondays, my class is from 6–9 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30–11:30 AM, and Wednesdays from 12–1 PM. This leaves me available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care! I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow the owner’s specific routine and instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels comfortable by keeping up with their normal feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other care they need. I also love giving them plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away!
“Margarita was fantastic and very friendly! She was quick to respond, flexible, and was able to watch our dogs with less than 1 days notice - which was a godsend for us. She sent us updates throughout the stay, gave our dogs lots of cuddles, and our dogs seemed to really enjoy their stay with her! We’re certainly planning on using her again for future stays!! Thank you so much Margarita!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lexington is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $50 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 226 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Lexington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lexington home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 OK 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.
