“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”
About: I can play, walk, feed, give medication, and love your pet as much as you do. I have grown up in a house hold with dogs, I have my own dog, I have fostered puppies before, taken care of neighbors and friends pets while they were away, and also dog sat for my sisters dogs over weekends. I'm currently a graduate student at MUSC with a dog of my own so I understand how much time goes into having a pet and what needs to be done to ensure he/she is always happy. I walk a few miles everyday and would love to incorporate your pup into them! I allow dogs on furniture which means they can have constant cuddles to feel loved while being away from home. I can still give the same amount of exercise they'd receive from home as they would with me. I also have a dog so your dog would have a friend to play with 24/7!
“Hannah was so great with our dog!! She went above and beyond during her trips and always made sure to leave a detailed rundown of her time with our Luna. I genuinely looked forward to reading about every visit and am very happy with how they all turned out. I am looking forward to having her back if she is available in the future! We’ve been home two days and even now Luna looks to the door close to her scheduled times like she waiting for her to walk in and play🥲”
“Alicia is the best! Our miniature long haired dachshund had never been by himself overnight - only at someone’s home. Alicia took excellent care of him and he did great with the drop-in visits. She provided him a with plenty of pictures. I highly recommend Alicia! Beth”
“This was the first time I have ever left my two cats while on vacation and was nervous about not being with them but Abigail truly went above and beyond and took such amazing care of them. She is the sweetest and I was able to be more relaxed while out of town knowing they were safe and being taken care of! Will definitely be using her again for any future trips!!”
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.
“Hollie was so wonderful, from the minute she came to do pre-visit she shows my boy love and care. Played with him a lot. Took great care of him while I was gone and sent lots of pics and comments. I look forward to having her again, and I’m sure Cooper would say the same thing. Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“Stephanie was great! Excellent communication! Everything about the process was easy and Stephanie was very thorough. Stephanie kept me well updated with a summary of her interactions with Chloe and plenty of pics. Stephanie, thanks for taking such good care of Chloe!!”

“We honestly can’t say enough good things about Gabrielle! She’s patient, kind, and just “gets” them in a way that puts us completely at ease. She’s always on time, super consistent, and quick to respond. Our dogs adore her, and so do we!”
About: My family has owned a dog for most of my life, but I’ve cared for my own dogs for a little over 7 years now. I am good with basic manners and any extra care your pet would need. I do work a full time job, but I’m available to check in or walk your pets depending if I’m working nights or evenings that day! I can crate your dog if needed or am able to take them on a long walk to tire them out for the day if that is requested.
About: I have loved and cared for dachshunds for over 25 years. My experience includes special needs and senior dogs. I provided home physical therapy for our one doxie post his back surgery during COVID. I love to play with dogs and give them the love they deserve. Currently I am working full-time, so will be available on most weekends for drop in's and dog walks. I can spend "play time" with your pet with whatever toys they enjoy. For additional fee, I can add a walk to keep them exercised and happy. I am reliable, organized, efficient and enjoy the company of our furfriends. I will respect and care for your pet and home like they are my own. I have cared for senior dogs as well as special needs dogs. I am trustworthy and reliable. It would be an honor to talk with you about caring for your pet.
“This was the first time we used a service and could not be happier with Jessica. She took her time to get to know our dogs and did a great job to make them feel loved while we were away. Will definitely use her again. Can recommend Jessica to anyone.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life - from dogs of all breeds to guineas pigs and cats. Growing up, I eagerly took part in caring for them and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in pet care. I have also provided pet sitting/walking services to friends and family. Fun fact: I loved animals of all kinds so much as a child, that I became a vegetarian at 13 years old! And I have been one now for over 15 years! I have a very flexible schedule and more than happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences to ensure they are comfortable and cared for! When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize their safety, respect your space (and theirs), and strive to create a calm, trustworthy environment where your pets feel secure and loved.
About: I’ve been surrounded by loving, goofy dogs and an endless amount of fur my entire life. I’ve grown up with a golden retriever and a golden retriever/GSD mix, and am now the proud Auntie to two golden-retrievers and a golden retriever/black lab mix. I also have extensive experience pet sitting for my family and our family friends, successfully caring for both large and small breeds. I can wrangle pups with boundless energy, manage medication regimens, and provide a calm environment for those that need a little extra attention or time to warm up to someone new. Goldens, schnauzers, labs, pits, shih tzus…all are welcome to join the fun! Trusting me with your pet is a privilege I hope to earn, by ensuring the following when you book with me: -Consistent communication-coordinating appointments, any hiccups, and of course pictures of your pets having the best time upon request! -Reliability with appointments, and prompt notification of any conflicts or emergencies that may arise which would impact your appointment. -Adherence to your specific care routine for your pup-think crating when alone, using certain leads/harnesses on walks, providing medication as needed, etc. -Patience with pets as they get used to a new person in their environment, both with me and being conscientious of your pet’s boundaries during walks through the neighborhood. Is your pup not a social butterfly and prefers a wider personal bubble? No problem! My top priority is ensuring that your pet is safe, has their needs met, and is able to relax and just have fun being a dog! I want you to have peace of mind that your best friend is being taken care of, so you can enjoy the extra freedom and flexibility you need in your schedule. In terms of my schedule, I work full time, but I have more flexibility in the evenings. I’m your gal if you work second shift, have a hard time making it home in between shuttling kids between after-school sports and activities, or are looking to adventure out a bit more on a weekend. I will treat your pet like family while out on walks in the neighborhood or while caring for them in your home. My goal is to always make sure your pets are comfortable, relaxed, and having a great time when I'm interacting with them. I'm familiar with dogs from puppyhood to senior status, and am able to adjust my care to their needs. -Drop ins: I am respectful of my clients' homes and yards, leaving them just as clean and secure as they were when I arrived. I ensure I follow any reasonable care requests that help keep your pet in their routine. -Walks/outdoor time: Confident dog-walker who feels comfortable walking both small and larger dog breeds. I am cautious to make sure passersby do not approach, especially with other animals, unless it is permitted by the owner and the dog is comfortable. Keeps dogs on-leash unless in a fenced in backyard.

Alicia is the best! Our miniature long haired dachshund had never been by himself overnight - only at someone’s home. Alicia took excellent care of him and he did great with the drop-in visits. She provided him a with plenty of pictures. I highly recommend Alicia! Beth
Destinee has been so helpful with drop-in visits for my sweet dog, Newton! She sends detailed summaries, potty info, and pictures with every visit. Destinee is quick to communicate, flexible, trustworthy, and will love your dog as if it’s her own! So grateful to have found her!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lexington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lexington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lexington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
