“She arrives with a smile and on time. She walks our 77lb pup with no problem. Our dogs truly do like het and warmed up to her quickly. We are pleased with Barb. She will be used going forward as both a dog walker and dog sitter. - Jenn”
“Amanda was very prompt with her arrival and messages! This was my first rover experience and it was such a delight thanks to Amanda’s energy and attentiveness. You can tell she loves what she does and cares deeply about the pets she handles.”
About: I absolutely love animals and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I enjoy making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I also have experience administering insulin injections to cats, so I am comfortable providing extra care for pets with special medical needs. Having been retired for two years, I have the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your furry family members! I am happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pets’ needs whenever possible. I prefer going to the client’s home, as I feel it is a more comfortable setting for both me and your pet. For dog sitting, my home does not have a fenced-in yard, so I would need to keep them on a leash when outside. That being said, I am happy to host pets at my home for shorter periods of time if needed. My goal is to provide reliable, loving, and attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away!
About: I've had a dog, multiple cats, 2 gerbil, and multiple fish growing up. I have also helped out friends with multiple pets throughout the years and want to continue to help those who work feel better their furry pets are having a caring friend look after them. I currently am available 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Friday to check in and walk your pets. I loom forward to meeting you and your pets and help in any way I can! I feel getting to know each pet individually is important to be able to best take care of each dog or cat. I want to be able to best serve each pet to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.
“Zania has always been kind and caring with my dog Nellie. She is attentive and I know my animals are in great hands when she house sits for me as well. You couldn't ask for someone better to watch your animals”
About: Hi! In the last couple years I have gained experience in long dog sitting sessions. With caring for up to 4 dogs at a time throughout 7 consecutive days, following medicine schedules, potty schedules, play schedules and your pets daily routine, I am confident I would be the perfect fit in caring for your pet! My love for animals is expansive and unconditional. I have 2 rescue cats of my own - Kitten and Theodore, along with my boyfriends dog, Remi! They are all great with animals. Let’s chat about your pets needs! 🐾🦴🐈 I work completely remote, this allows me to be attentive during the day and no commuting time required. I live in an outdoorsy area with many trails and smells to explore. I am super flexible to whatever needs suite your pet. I am able to create a safe space for your pet at my home or maintain the safe space at yours. I can be trusted with schedules and medications.
About: I have always loved dogs. I grew up with an English Golden Retriever and learned how to take care of him and give him medicine as he aged. A few years back I got a Border Collie and trained her. I taught her commands from sitting to closing a door to not eat anything off the ground. I love taking her on hikes and we recently completed an agility class together. I have walked dogs many times and would love to take care of yours! I'm currently working part-time, so I will have a lot of free time to walk your dog! Early mornings to mid day works best for me! I am available Monday-Thursday, and the occasional Saturday mornings. I am to able to create a safe and relaxing environment for your dogs. I am able to crate dogs and put up gates in the house to keep them safe at all times.
“Cassidy is awesome! I could tell from the daily photos and reports that my dog was very happy and comfortable with her. It gave me peace of mind while I was a while to know my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always had pets at home and truly love being around them—they’re like family to me. Taking care of animals isn’t just a job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Your dog will feel right at home with me—loved, safe, and stress-free. I’m very flexible with time and dates, and I’ll make sure your pet has fun and gets plenty of attention. I treat every pet with love and care, just like I would my own. I also provide toys, food, clothes, and more at no extra charge—just my way of spoiling them a little! Pets are more than animals—they’re family. And I’ll treat yours like one of my own. I work full-time, but my retired parents are home all day to give your dog love and attention. I’m available for weekends and evenings after work. Also have flexibility at my job for any emergency or schedule updates. I don’t have a full fence yet, but I’ve set up a secure space for dogs to play safely. I have one friendly dog for company, and your pup will always be supervised.
“Norene made my first experience with rover so easy. She responded in a timely manner and had no issues with taking my dog for a walk even in a mist. If I ever need help again I will make sure she’s the one”
About: When I was 8 my father surprised me with our first ever dog Harley! I fell in love instantly and am so grateful to have grown up with him in our family. When I grew older I took on more rolls taking care of Harley which gave me basic experience in pet care. When he was a senior dog I learned a lot through his medical issues like how to handle medicine and emergency vet visits. Our late dog, Dobby gave me puppy experience showing me how much time, care, and patience is needed for little pups. Anything you need for your dog I’m willing to do! Im a part time college student who also works part time as a server! This opportunity seems like something that could perfectly for my unusual schedule. Dog walking and quick house stop-ins would be my speciality! House sitting and at home sitting is something that would be most easiest if done with a notice in advance:) With the years of experience you can trust me with your home and your pets! I’m a college girl looking for an opportunity that benefits both parties, it’s just a bonus that I love animals! In my care, you and your pets have absolutely nothing to worry about.
About: I have a small dog of my own and we’re very excited to meet some new friends! I can understand how overwhelming it can be for you and your pup, but I promise they’ll be in good hands! I will provide plenty of photos and videos during their stay. I currently work full-time, available for dog walking and drop in visits. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me and I’ll get back to you. I live in an apartment, but I am close to a few parks in the area. I have a small dog that is friendly and excited to play.
About: I am an animal lover who is excited to care for your furry family members! I have 3 cats and they are my everything!❤️ I am excited to care for any and all types of animals. I do have experience with walking large dogs. I am a nurse so I am used to being dedicated and fast-learning when it comes to caring for loved ones. I work three 12 hour shifts per week, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I have four days each week open for caring for furry friends! I am free most weekend days. I will be friendly and patient with your animals! I will respect your home and follow your instructions. If I am ever unclear on anything, I will communicate and ask to ensure the safety and happiness of your pets!
About: I have been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a child, but professionally for almost 11 years now! I have experience with all sorts of animals, most commonly dogs but we are open to all furry friends :) I have extensive experience with senior pets, puppies, and disabled pets. I am always available if you want to check in and I truly dedicate my time to making the experience great for your pet while you're away. I currently work from home and make my own hours, so my availability is completely open! I can work around whatever hours you need (as scheduled) and I am available for long periods of time as well. My home is very animal friendly! I do have crates available for pets that need to be crated, however since I am home almost all of the time- it's rarely necessary! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a very big plot of land in the back that we can walk around and play on!
“Adam was great with my very skittish dog, Finn. He was persistent yet gentle in allowing him to warm up to a new face. Will definitely book again soon to help forge that relationship!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,992 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Lexington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lexington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lexington. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
