“Caroline did a great job taking care of Charlie. She did everything we asked and more! We thank the Lord for her and have booked her for more times to take care of Charlie.”
“Emma was AMAZING! Our cats loved her. She was quick to respond, punctual, always updating us and made sure our kitties were loved and taken care of. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking her again in the future.”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life and have always had dogs as part of my family. After graduating college and moving into my own place, the very first thing I did was adopt a dog of my own! I now have two wonderful dogs and have spent years learning about different breeds, personalities, and training styles. Caring for dogs has become second nature to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their daily routine, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. In the summer, I am available full-time to care for pets. Beginning in the fall, I am a teacher so I am available for pet care after 4pm. I am comfortable visiting your home and caring for your pets in their most comfortable environment, their own home! I am able to bring your pets for walks, let them outside, crate them, or snuggle on the couch! Whatever you and they are comfortable with.
About: I have always been so in love with all animals! I have grown up with all different breeds of dogs (as seen in my photos). Taken care of my own dogs (multiple breeds), my kitty and neighbors pets (dogs and cats) for years. Timely and reliable. Will always get the job done. Please tell me everything I need to know and what you would like me to do to make your baby feel comfortable! I am a full time nursing student but am only taking one online class over the summer. Besides that, I have a 3 year old golden retriever and a year old kitty that I love dearly and spoil rotten and would love to help other pet parents when needed! I will abide by the pet parents rules and make sure they are well cared for, fed, groomed, dogs walked, played with, happy, loved and for them to be as stress free as possible (rather than being alone from their parents and anxious).
About: I've been a pet owner almost my entire life. I've cared for hamsters, cats, and dogs primarily. I have a certificate from Animal Behavior College in basic dog training and care, along with experience working with shelter dogs. I look forward to caring for your pet. I would love to be able to care for pets full time. I am currently available for scheduled dog walks and/or dog/cat drop-ins most times during the week and on weekends. I promise to treat your pet with the utmost care and respect with safety as a top priority. Feel free to speak with me about any of your concerns.
About: While I never had pets growing up, I was lucky to be able to pet sit for friends and family growing up. I am most comfortable with cats but I am also comfortable with caring for dogs! I currently work full time but have most evenings and weekends free! I have two cats at home who get plenty of undivided attention and enrichment activities - I'd love to give the same to your pets! I live in an apartment with a second floor patio so I feel comfortable supervising my own pets for outdoor activities. I believe in pets setting the tone for the visit so I'm in tune with animals telling me what they're comfortable with and acting accordingly to their wishes.
“Jenna did an amazing job with my big girl. I love all the report cards and pictures. I was so relieved on my vacation knowing that my dog was being taken care of. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have owned pets my whole life, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, frogs, fish, ferrets and now a flock of chickens. Each pet is an incredible responsibility that can bring great joy. Family and friends know they can count on me to help with any pet needs. Be it overnight stays, dog walks, food and water checks and even just a quick stop to snuggle. I am a stepmom, dog mom and substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule out of school hours and am able to work around kids schedules to make almost anything work. Over the summer I am more free and able to help more. I walk my own dog multiple times a day, as well as spend time playing and snuggling. I have a routine with my flock of chickens for feeding time and creating ways to keep them occupied. My dog is on a scheduled food routine and receives treats throughout the day. My son has a bunny, to which he has a daily routine of playtime and cleaning. I am a person who is great with direction and routine, working to make sure an animal has adequate time for play, food and rest.
“Hannah is wonderful! The first time I requested her she was not able to walk our pup but she recommended her daughters and husband and they were wonderfully reliable and loving of Finn! Hannah sends videos and pictures! She is very responsive and responsible with all of things that care for our pup! I highly recommend her and am so grateful to have met her through Rover!”
About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.
About: I have 5 years of experience with pet sitting. I grew up around dogs and cats and love them both equally. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats, due to this I can handle different animals and different situations as well! I am currently working part-time, but I currently have open availability due to it being the summer months and not having college classes at the moment. When I am taking care of pets I make sure they have enough of food and water before leaving the house, and if they need to be in a certain room of the house or in a crate I make sure they are secured in that area of the home.
About: My name is Hunter and my wife’s name is Hope, I am 25 and she is 24. We absolutely love animals. We both have several cats and dogs of our own. I’ve grown up in a family that have had lots of pets as well. I’ve been dog/ cat sitting for about 4 years now and I really enjoy doing it as a side hustle. I am able to give meditation and take your dogs for walks as requested by owners. I work a full time job during the week from 6am-2pm during the week. I have off on Thursdays and the weekends which I can be at your house anytime before or after then. I am able to do two drop in visits per day. I always make sure nothing is left out or down that pets can accidentally get ahold of. I also always supervise pets whether they are in the house or out in the yard.
About: I have cared for dogs since I can remember! I wish I can adopt 20 dogs and give them a beautiful life but since I can’t, I have chosen this career instead. I can understand, communicate, listen and love your pet. It would be an honor to care for your four legged baby!!! I am recently in remission from cancer, extremely stable, and I make animals my full time job! I am free anytime! Day, night, weekends and weekdays I’m free to help! I would keep a clean environment, offer play time, pet time, cuddle time, meal time and long walks no matter what the weather conditions are like!!! Your pet will love me!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
My usual cat sitter options were unavailable and I needed someone on short notice, so tried Rover for the first time, ack! Heather responded right away and set up a meet and greet. She was very reliable and communicative, reaching out with questions as needed, and came back for the second day despite my sassy cat giving her a bit of attitude. Thanks for your patience, Heather!
I’m so happy I found her! This was my first time using Rover or any pet sitter, so I was very nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She was super responsive, responsible, and followed all of my instructions for my two kittens perfectly. She clearly has experience with cats and cared for my kittens like they were her own. I also noticed a few things through my pet camera while I was away, and when I asked her to check in on them, she was so kind and helpful about it. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable cat sitter!
I found Ella at the last minute and so thankful! I appreciated the constant communication as she sent me pics at each visit with an update. Ella was so patient with Smokey Joe as it does take him a few days to warm to people. She also helped with meds. I will definitely reach out to Ella in the future to care for Smokey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 345 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lexington. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
