“Ally was great to work with! She dropped in on our pups for a full week and was always on time, provided detailed reports for every visit, and even brought in packages for us. I could tell by the pictures she included that our two dogs were having a great time with her. She is also super nice and a great communicator. We will definitely book with her again!”
“The photos that Jennifer sent belong on an ad campaign for Rover. My little guy looked like he was having a blast. He doesn't get too many visitors so he was a little apprehensive at first, but Jennifer did a great job getting him to relax and it sounds like they had a great time.”
“Celia did an amazing job with Chubbs and Shipley, she went out of her way for attention for them, feeding and potty breaks. I knew from the start she would be great for Chubbs and Shipley. We can’t wait to book again!”
“Susan was great, she came the very same day I sent a request to meet my dog and my dog Charlie loved her! She’s very personable and professional. Came perfectly on time, kept great track of Charlie and got cute pics of him playing with her and others at the dog park. Highly recommend”
“Jada was very pleasant to meet and interacted well with our two WILD labs. She handled their excitement well. She was informative when she cared for them and very responsive to my texts. Will definitely book her again!”
“Angelica was fantastic! She stopped by for a drop-in visit with our dog and did an amazing job. She was on time, super sweet, and gave our pup plenty of love and attention. I really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent even including our cat! I’ll definitely be booking with Angelica again!”
“Cory & Stacey were Great! They treated our cats as if they were their own. Their daily comments reflected the careful attention they paid to them. And the pictures taken always helped to reassure us that the cats were in great hands. We will definitely ask for them the next time we need them!”
“Skylar was my very first hired sitter for my cat, & she helped me feel so at peace with it all. She is a good communicator, friendly, & responsive, & i would definitely hire her again. Thank you for taking such good care of DejaVu!! 💕”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve helped rescue animals, cared for my own pets, and understand how important it is to provide patience, love, exercise, and a safe environment. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for your pets before and after work, as well as on my days off. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and will always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, love, and care they deserve. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk, or quality cuddle time, I’ll be there for them. I know trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I’ll treat your home with respect and follow all of your care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special requests. I treat every pet like they’re my own by providing plenty of love, patience, playtime, and attention. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and receiving the best care while you’re away.
“5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Kelli is the absolute BEST sitter you could ever have. We've used her for three years and she has been exceptional each time. My kitties bonded with her right away. They love playing with and snuggling her. She always ensures they are fed, the litter is clean, and gives them plenty of pets and love. She communicates well, sending pictures and videos that are always a highlight of my day when I'm away. You can tell she truly loves taking care of animals. It's wonderful knowing my babies are well cared for and loved when we are not home. I would recommend Kelli to anyone looking for a caring, sweet, animal loving person 💜”
“Jade was so great! She was so accommodating with a last minute request and definitely made me feel at ease being away from my two pups for a few nights with her drop-ins. She always sent through great pics and updates about the dogs. We can’t wait to book with her again!”
“Somiya maintained wonderful communication with me during the visit! We had a new kitten that needed special care and monitoring and she did a such an amazing job! I would recommend her services to anyone I know!🥰”
“Deborah is punctual, reliable, and so great with our two goldendoodles. Our older dog, Chloe, usually has some anxiety with new sitters, but she exhibited none when she met Deborah! She sent lots of pictures and great notes. I highly recommend!!”
“Aimee is wonderful with our two fur babies! She takes them out for potty breaks and walks, and gives them lots of snuggles. When we can’t be home during the day, we always feel comfortable knowing Aimee is coming by.”
“Daniel was fantastic when I needed help with my girls!! He sent me regular pictures of them, and I knew they were well taken care of! It was so heartening to know that I dogs were well cared for while I was working. I highly highly recommend Daniel if you ever need assistance with your animals!”

Kelli was great with our three cats! One of our girls is very shy and doesn’t always like to meet new people, but she really liked Kelli and that made me feel so much better! I asked her if she would be able to do a few extra things around the house (set the trash on the curb, sweep up litter, etc) and she did so with no complaints! I will definitely be booking her again
Cory & Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of our bearded dragon and feral cat colony. They took photos daily and gave me updates and even checked my bearded dragons basking light temp to make sure he was getting what he needed and got him some carrots on their own since he wasn’t eating well. Thank you so much! Took so much anxiety away from me while traveling!
Anna took amazing care of my cats with complex medical and relational situations. She put even my most anxious cat at ease. Her communication was so detailed and so helpful. And the pics she sent almost made me feel like I was right there with them. I couldn't be more grateful for the care she gave them and the peace of mind she gave me while I was traveling!
Jade, did a phenominal job watching my three babies (cats). I had a last minute travel issue come up, and I needed to find someone to care for my three cats while I was gone. I had to book last minute, and did not have time to do a meet and greet. This was my first time using Rover, and I selected Jade based on her excellent reviews. My cats are my babies, and I have hired friends and neighbors in the past to care for them when we were gone, only to be frustrated upon return to see that the little I asked them to do, was done very poorly. Due to the last minute booking I was only able to communicate with Jade via messages, but she immediately reassured me that she would make sure our babies were well taken care of. We are in the process of selling our home, so I needed someone who would provide loving care to our cats as well as making sure they didn't track in dirt, and kept things as clean as possible when stopping to care for the cats. Jade went above and beyond, and I cannot thank her enough. My cats are terrified of anyone outside of our family, and because we have realtors showing our home right now, there are a lot of new people coming in and out, which is causing a lot of anxiety to the cats. I asked Jade to ring the doorbell and wait 30 seconds to allow the cats to get to their safe place and hide, to help keep their anxiety down. She did this everytime without hesitation. She made sure the litter boxes were clean, as well as the area around the boxes, which was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately we are moving out of state and I will not be able to use Jade's services in the future. However, if you are seeking someone to care for your animals in a loving way, and a way you would care for your animals...I would highly recommend hiring Jade. Thank you Jade for the love and care you provided to our babies while we were away. We appreciate it more than you could possibly know.
Stephanie is fantastic. My little dog Ginger was so excited to meet her and several of my seven cats took to her very quickly. Stephanie is very caring and knowledgeable. She is an excellent listener so I feel my fur babies will be in good care when I need a sitter. I'll definitely book with Stephanie if I need a sitter in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lexington on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 477 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
