“Leanissa is great! Always leaves a lot of pictures and details about her time with Teddy. Her response time is quick. She does great with Teddy, making sure he goes potty and giving him lots of cuddles so he’s not sad when she leaves. I would highly recommend booking her!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals. Cats, dogs, lizards, snakes, hamsters, etc. I have also owned all of those animals. I will imitate what you do at home so that their schedule remains intact because as a pet parent I know how important that schedule can be. I only work at night three days a week. I have a lot of free time on my hands during the week. Especially in the day time. I will take care of your pet just how you would. Everything you do I will do my best to replicate it. I’m here to make them as comfortable as you would.
“My dogs adore Alyssa. She has a special way of connecting with all animals. I don’t worry when I leave them in her care because I know they are not going to be stressed and are well cared for along with getting some extra scratches and kisses. I also know that if any problem comes up, with all of her experience, she will handle it. I feel lucky to have her help!”

About: Hi! My name is Lyndsey, and I’ve been working professionally with dogs since 2017 as a full-time dog groomer. Caring for animals is something I do every day, and I have experience handling pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has unique needs. I currently share my home with both dogs and cats, so caring for pets is a big part of my daily life. My professional grooming experience has taught me how to safely handle nervous, shy, excited, and high-energy pets while helping them feel comfortable and secure. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important routines are to pets, and I do my best to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I work full-time as a dog groomer Monday through Friday during daytime hours. Because of my schedule, I am best suited for morning visits, evening visits, overnight stays, weekend care, and holiday care. I always communicate clearly with pet parents and provide updates so you can feel confident your pets are receiving excellent care. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and provide dependable, loving care while you’re away I’m a full time dog groomer, currently working 9-5 Monday-Friday. I am still able to drop morning or afternoon drop ins also overnights as needed I care for 4 dogs and 2 cats who have their own schedules. I also bring one of my dogs to work with me everyday

About: I have had a passion for animals all my life! I grew up with a a toy poodle and sadly lost her in 2015 due to old age . We did everything together walks , bathing , sleeping , eating . She was definitely a bestfriend . However , ironically, I married someone who is allergic to dogs so this would bring me so much joy to be able to help others and love on their fur babies . I do work part time , however i am truly looking forward to spending my free time with your loved ones . Morning/afternoon walks are my favorite and hopefully will be their favorite time with me , too. Your babies will be super safe with me ! I generally love walks in the park and figured I could get a workout in and they could have some fun time ! It’s a win-win situation! Also, treats , water & food can be provided during the walk time as well with your permission! With the weather heating up , doggy ice cream is also a new favorite on the list.
About: I’ve been around animals growing up, at home we have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I also have a 6 month old puppy of my own now. Large dogs don’t scare me either :) I’m a full time student in my junior year at UofSC. I only have class 2 days a week so I’m pretty available and flexible! When pets stay with me, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. This includes feeding them on their usual schedule, giving them plenty of exercise and playtime, and making sure they have a cozy space to rest. I provide fresh water at all times, supervise them closely, and give lots of attention and affection.
“Katelyn provided high quality care to my three rambunctious border collies. She quickly established a rapport with my two girls, and was kind and patient with my more timid rescue. Her visits were prompt. Her communication was excellent, and I am really hoping she will be available the next time I go out of town.”

About: I grew up in 4H taking care of animals as one of my first chores. I had dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens/other fowl, mice, fish, lizards, and the sweetest sugar glider I trained to glide to me. I have experience with young animals as well as old with a range of disabilities and medical needs. I work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule to check in, hang out, and spend the night with your fur babies. I’ll usually need to leave between 4-8 hrs at a time but sometimes can spend the full day as well as the night at your residence. My client’s animals receive the care they want to receive while primary humans are away. If they need someone to play and enrich, I’m there. If they just need a snuggle buddy to not get lonely or stressed, I’m also there. I am used to clients with complex feeding schedules or high needs pets, just let me know what and when your furry dependents need! For my safety as well as your big fur baby’s, I cannot walk large dogs who pull on the leash or who jump onto standing people.
About: My best friend of 15 years and her family have two wonderful dogs, a doodle and a lab who I have taken care of so many times.

I have also cat-sit for up to 3-weeks on end. Giving medicine, checking for packages, and updating if anything seems off. I am a graduate student with very flexible hours. I am happy to spend time with your pet while I study or just for personal therapy. I will make time for animals no matter what. I go above and beyond noting things like if the house temperature is uncomfortable for said pet. I keep them under constant supervision and won’t leave them alone for more than a few hours unless discussed otherwise. I am very thorough and will take extra time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe with a new person around them. I know what it takes to be patient with pets.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 16 but have more recently gained professional experience in both a kennel and service animal training facility. I am open to dogs (and cats) of all sizes as I have both a 15lb italian greyhound and a 110 lb sheppard mix. I genuinely love animals so this is something I truly enjoy doing and your pets will be very well loved in your absence. I work from home full time and travel about once a month. Working from home allows me a bit more flexibility than working in office so don't hesitate to reach out with requests in the middle of the day. I have no issue following any instructions you have for your home. I have had experience kenneling both dogs and cats. I also love going on adventures with the pups whether it be a walk, car ride, or maybe even a trip to petsmart!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lexington
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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lexington is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,036 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
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 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.
