“Kristen was very flexible last minute sitter needs. She came over for a brief meet and greet! I have two very opposite dogs, one young high energy and friendly as can be, the other old, low energy, blind, and grumpy! She did well and the dogs warmed up to her! Even my cat got some treats, which she much appreciated even though Kristen didn't need to do any thing for the cat on the visits. Will be using again!”

“Crystal was incredible with our boy! He can be kind of a handful, but she has such a way with animals and they were immediately best friends. She was so kind and playful with him and kept him great company. We will definitely be using her in the future and everyone else should too!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, so I’m comfortable caring for both. Over the past 4 years, I’ve pet sat for dogs and cats, making sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while their owners are away. I personally have experience with rodents and reptiles as-well. I personally have a ball python and bearded dragon, and have had guinea pigs, chinchillas, bunnies, and chickens in the past! As an athletic college student, I’m happy to keep dogs active with walks and play, and I’m gentle and patient with cats, respecting their space and personality. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I work part-time and am looking for some light pet sitting or dog walking jobs to fill my free time. I’m available during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and happy to help out with flexible hours while earning some extra cash. I know how important it is to keep your pet safe and happy. I’m careful and follow your instructions so your pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay attention to their needs and make sure they’re in a calm, stress-free environment whether we’re at home or out for a walk. You can trust me to treat your pet like one of my own, they’ll be well loved and cared for every time!
About: Hi!! I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl and have always been the softest soul when it comes to them. Since the age of 16 I also worked at a veterinary clinic in charge of the proper care and nurturing of the animals while in our care. I always make sure to provide the best care I can while ensuring their safety and comfort. In 2022, I visited Turks and Caicos and volunteered at a local animal shelter that focuses on the care of stray pups. This experience added to my past job at the veterinary clinic has given me insight on so many different personalities and breeds of dogs. I’m currently a sophomore in college, however I only have class 4 days a week! Therefore, I will have lots of time to spend with your pets and make sure they are taken care of and loved! I always make sure the animal is feeling comfortable and loved. Since I come from a veterinary assistant background I know how to effectively calm nerves when it comes to meeting new people and basic care needs.

“Kiana was a delightful companion for my furbaby while I was away. She arrived promptly, followed all my instructions, and took adorable photos of my cat so I could rest assured that he was in good hands. I will definitely use her services again next time I travel!”

About: I currently have a 12 year old Lab/mix dog, he is super sweet and loves attention. He is very friendly and no problems so far with other dogs. I have worked with a dog groomer before and would help out when needed. I can bathe your pooch anytime. I have had pets with separation anxiety before as well. I had an austrailian shepard growing up and she had separation anxiety bad, It wasn't easy but we were able to get her to not tear up the house anymore. If you have a pet that deals with separation anxiety then I would love to watch your pet for you. I work full time in Jupiter, FL during the week so weekends would be the only time I have available. I look forward to working with your pet(s). What do you say? Are you ready to let your pet have a wonderful time while you go out for a night and have some time to yourself? If so, I am your gal. I look forward to this adventure! I would be available most weekends to do drop in visits and possibly staying at your home if need be. Just let me know what you need and I will see if I can work it out. I have a fenced yard and have a dog who would love having a friend over sometimes. He gets along with every dog he comes into contact with.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a combination of genuine love for animals, practical knowledge, and formal dog-training experience. I've participated in obedience training with my own dogs and continued developing my skills through local dog-training programs and hands-on experience with other dogs. What sets my care apart is my ability to recognize individual personalities, understand animal behavior, and maintain consistency in each pet's established routine. - Training & Positive Reinforcement: I incorporate positive reinforcement and basic obedience into everyday care, helping maintain good habits and consistency while you're away. - Understanding Behavior: I'm comfortable recognizing canine body language and responding appropriately to anxiety, leash reactivity, unfamiliar situations, and interactions with other animals. - Personalized Care: From energetic puppies to senior pets, I adapt to individual temperaments, routines, feeding schedules, and medication needs. - Reliable, Attentive Care: Pets deserve patience, companionship, consistency, and attention—not just someone checking off a feeding schedule. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I treat every animal as an individual and every home with respect. You're not just hiring a pet sitter. You're trusting someone with over two decades of experience, a genuine understanding of animals, and a commitment to making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs, including daytime visits, drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. I can work around your pet's routine and provide dependable, attentive care when you need it most. My In-Home Care Commitment My service guarantees peace of mind through structured care and transparent communication: • Routine Stability: I meticulously adhere to your pet's schedule (feeding, walks, medication) to minimize stress and maintain their home comfort. (Weather permitting) • Proactive Safety: I establish detailed emergency protocols and use my experience to anticipate pet needs, ensuring they are safe and comfortable in their own home. • High-Touch Communication: I provide regular, detailed updates with photos and giving you a tangible connection to their happiness. In short, I offer more than just companionship; I provide professional stability, calm handling, and over 20 years of trusted assurance.
“Tiffany is excellent! Recently booked her for drop in visits with my kitten Nancy and it couldn’t have gone better. Updates were given everyday and Tiffany was right on time to comfort our fur baby while we were away. Everything was flawless when I got back and our kitty told us a great review too. Booking again 10/10!”

“Ashly was amazing and gave me so much peace of mind. When I was going out of town and started feeling so guilty about dropping my cat off at the vet for boarding, Ashly allowed me to leave him at home and know he’s well taken care of where’s he’s comfortable. Thank you so much.”

“Katy was so helpful with our dogs and stopping over on somewhat late notice. She was able to arrange a time and be flexible with my schedule with a meetup before hand and did great following our directions for her. She left a photo and updated us on the visit which made us feel at ease knowing our pups were being taken care of by someone who cared. We would definitely have Katy help us in the future!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, I’ve raised bunnies, chickens, mice, birds, dogs, cats , fish and I’ve also been around cows, pigs, and ferrets. I love and enjoy being around animals. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’m available 24/7 for your animals needs. I can also do more frequent check in’s if I’m watching your fur babies from your home. I have a fairly large fenced in yard with plenty of room to get your dogs daily exercise in. I can also leash them if they are escape artist, I can crate your animal if that’s what your dogs are use to as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lexington is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $27 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 555 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
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.
