“Michael was very accommodating regarding booking my pup’s stay being that it was somewhat last minute. This was the first time I had booked with Michael, and everything was great. He was very attentive and communicated with me throughout the three-day stay. He did Pup Painting with her, and she came home with her masterpiece! I know my baby was taking care of, and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”
“Another wonderful experience! I rebooked because Obi always comes home happy and well cared for, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear that he is treated with lots of love and attention while he’s there. We truly appreciate how comfortable you make both him and us feel. We wouldn’t hesitate to bring him back again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“I couldn't have asked for a better person, or a better family to watch Stella while we were away for 11 days. When we go away again, I am 1,000% using Alexis and her family again!!! She gave daily updates, and most importantly I could tell Stella was very happy!!! More than pleased with the entire dog sitting/boarding process. Thank you to Rover, and GIANT thank you to Alexis and her family!!!! 🙏”
“Jelly Bean really enjoyed her stay! She got taken on adventures and we got plenty of photos. It’s clear that Patrick and Amy care about their clients, we will definitely book again.”
“Cooper had a great week with Beth and her family! He was pampered and cuddled. We got a picture or video every day. We had a great vacation knowing Cooper was also having a great week! We would highly recommend Beth for your pet!”
“My dog had a great time and was given the space and care he needed while we were away. Very happy with Tara's updates and willingness to handle Lucas' anxious personality.”
“Mary’s home was PERFECT for our Stanley - there was a fenced in yard to run around and plenty of snuggles on the sofas and bed. Mary was attentive to making sure Stanley had his own space to eat meals and chew on his bones. She sent photo and video updates and was always responsive whenever I reached out to check in with her. I truly felt that Mary and her family loved Stanley as their own while he was with them! I would absolutely recommend Mary and book with her again.”
“Jessica was amazing with Felix, kept me up to date on how he was doing and provided a bunch of pictures. This was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she made it extremely worry free. Her dogs were extremely friendly and even welcomed Felix the minute they saw each other. I will definitely choose her to watch Felix again!”
“One of our neighbors recommended Grace to us when our regular sitter stopped boarding. Our dog is very shy and introverted when it comes to people she doesn’t know, and she took to Grace really well. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Sheree was soooo sweet, and so was her dog, Charley. She watched Chase for three days, and I can tell he had a good time. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Excellent care provided to my Akita. He ate the entire time and was exactly as I dropped him off, not anxious or anything. They did an amazing job, and let me know I could have a worry free trip as he is in good hands.”
“I would recommend Alyssa to everyone I know. I was away for 5 days and she kept me updated at all time about Douglas's stay. She even sent me pictures! Thank you Alyssa for treating my fur baby like one of your family members. ”
“We will be a continuing supporter of Daniel for as long as we can. He and his kids are absolutely amazing with Charlie. I will get random photos or videos during the stay. Charlie has always come back super happy and worn out. If you need a sitter, I highly recommend!!!!”
“We just love having Mollie take care of our puppy. She is great at communicating and working with our schedule. Our puppy gets so excited and happy when we arrive! Mollie and her family are so thoughtful and considerate and it is very reassuring to know our pup is safe and content while we are away.”
About: I am a weekly volunteer at Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue. I am a former teacher, so I will follow your directions, be impeccably respectful.

They are cherished and are fed special food. They are truly Spoiled and Happy.
“Rebecca was kind, friendly, responsive, and very attentive. She made me feel completely at ease and took great care of Lucky. She also kindly accommodated a last minute request to watch Lucky again the following day. Thank you Rebecca!”
“Immediately felt good about leaving our dog, Tucker with Lynnea. She kept me updated with pictures the whole time we were gone and was always quick to respond when I messaged her. Perfect place to leave your dog and not have to worry they are being taken care of.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! Jester had the best time with her, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. She kept me updated throughout his stay with plenty of pictures and messages, which I truly appreciated. It was so comforting to see how happy and well cared for my baby was. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again very soon. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!”

We can’t say enough good things about Abbigail! She communicated great from the beginning and we felt so comfortable leaving our pups with her! We got to have our dogs meet her before the actual reservation and that was so reassuring. She is friendly, responsible and genuinely loves dogs! Ours Loved her! We are so thankful to have found her and we will definitely call on her again if we ever need a sitter.
Betsy and her husband Ron always take wonderful care of our fur baby. He gets plenty of walks, play, love and care. Betsy even goes the extra mile and stocks up on his favorite treats and snacks, takes him on adventures and keeps his bedding washed and clean. She communicates daily and sends us photo updates. We always breathe easy when we’re on vacation knowing he’s in great hands with both of them!
Jordan did a great job caring for our Griffey boy. She is caring and attentive to all dog’s needs and their personalities. She regularly shared updates via text and videos and was a joy to interact with. Highly recommended and we will definitely look forward to seeing her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 654 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
97% 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, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 94% 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.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 PA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
