About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all kinds for the past 6 years and have always had a love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, including feeding, walking, playing with, and checking in on them. I’m responsible, organized, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. I will treat your dog like my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection! I am a full-time student, so my schedule is flexible in the afternoons, evenings, and early mornings. I am unavailable on Wednesdays, and my weekend availability varies depending on the week. I am happy to communicate and work together to find a schedule that works best for both of us! I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I am happy to follow your pet’s specific routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions. I can also crate your dog if needed and will always prioritize their safety and well-being. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will keep you updated and communicate throughout their stay!
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: 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!
About: I love animals. I have owned and operated a Children and family portrait studio for over 15 years. Dogs are like kids to me. They are innocent and kind and deserve love and attention. I have time to offer your baby the love and attention it deserves when you're not around! I was raised on a farm in North Texas where we took care of many animals. I knew from a young age up the importance of taking care of animals properly. I find dogs to be such amazing animals seeing their pack instincts make them yearn to be with people and protect them. I love the affection they offer with no hidden rules. I offer the same love and affection to them because they deserve it. Hi! I’m new to the Phoenix area but not new to caring for pets and homes. I’ve been a trusted sitter for years, including several long-term house and pet sitting gigs in the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas) and Puerto Rico. Whether it’s dogs, cats, chickens, or something a little more exotic, I’ve probably cared for it — and loved every minute of it. I’m super clean, respectful, and calm — I work from home or remotely when I can, so your pets get attention and your home stays safe. I’m also a total plant nerd and take pride in keeping your green babies alive and thriving while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who truly connects with animals, treats your home like a sanctuary, and communicates well while you’re gone, let’s set up a meet & greet! I only care for pets in their own home — where they’re most relaxed, happy, and safe. I follow their routine closely, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just being a calm, loving presence. I’m super clean, great with plants, and treat your space with total respect. I want your pets to feel like they’re just on vacation at home until you walk back through the door.
About: I've been fostering and taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life. I know what it's like to be worried about your pet I personally have a dog with separation anxiety and understand the struggle. Let me help your pet stay calm and happy while you enjoy time away. I love animals and taking care of them is truly my passion. I do online school leaving me plenty of time to play with your furry family. I have a fully fenced yard with cameras and although my dogs are friendly I do keep them crated when first meeting a new dog in order to ensure everyone stays safe and anxiety free.
About: I have had dogs for as long as I can remember and love all dogs and all their unique personalties. I love going on walk and just playing outside. I am in college, but have plenty of time to take care of pets with my flexible schedule. I have a dog of my own at home and do not struggle at all to meet his needs. I have a pet of my own, but my lease does not allow any other pets to be in the house. So I will not be able to board dogs at my personal house.
“Thank you Kylie, you came over last minute and were a lifesaver helping me with Winnie while I’m on vacation! She was easy to work with and had great communication. The pictures and videos you sent eased my mind, and it’s easy to tell Winnie clearly loved you. I will absolutely be booking you again - so glad I’ve finally found a stable sitter for my baby for the future. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Will highly recommend her professional service to others. Thanks again!”
About: I have professional experience working in a pet care facility, where I cared for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed pet care certifications that have strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, safety, and best care practices. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and following specialized care instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every pet while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day.

My professional pet care experience, certifications, and medication administration experience allow me to confidently care for pets with a variety of needs. Every pet receives individualized attention, a clean and secure environment, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you always know how they’re doing during their stay.
“This was the first time we’ve used a sitting service. I was so happy with Ashley! She really went above and beyond making our dog comfortable on 4th of July with fireworks. I can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she takes care of. We will definitely use her again and recommend her to everyone!!”

About: For over 20 years, my family and I have been dedicated to raising animals, cultivating a deep love and understanding of pet care that has shaped our lives. Throughout this time, we have experienced the joys and challenges that come with nurturing various breeds, always prioritizing their well-being and happiness. Recently, we completed a successful breeding of Japanese Akitas, and I am proud to say that all the puppies have found loving homes. This experience not only highlighted the importance of responsible breeding but also reinforced our commitment to ensuring that each animal is placed in a nurturing environment. As part of our ongoing journey in animal care, my sire and dam will be joining my parents on their farm, where we are expanding to include dog kennels on their property. This exciting development will allow us to enhance our pet care services further and provide a safe and loving environment for all animals in our care. In addition to breeding, my home will serve as an open house for pet sitting, where I can offer a comfortable and welcoming space for pets while their owners are away. I understand that leaving a pet can be stressful for both the owner and the animal, and I am committed to ensuring that every pet feels loved, safe, and at ease during their stay. With my extensive experience and genuine passion for animals, I am dedicated to providing a nurturing atmosphere where pets can thrive and their owners can have peace of mind. I plan to walk the dogs twice in my care, and of course with 2-4 hours potty break as well. I believe walking with your dog will build trust between me and your pet. And if your pup is not leash train, I can train them to walk as well. My walks with dogs can last 15-30 minutes long depending on the dogs health. I have an open schedule so I can dog sit, walk, check up, and house dogs or cat Whether dropping in or pet-sitting in a client’s home, safety, clear routine, and low-stress care are my top priorities. I treat every home with complete respect, maintaining strict security at all doors and gates while closely following each pet’s established schedule for feeding, exercise, and medication to ease anxiety. Daily transparent updates and photos keep pet parents connected, ensuring their pets remain safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in their own familiar environment.

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 564 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.
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
- 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.
