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!
“Anna was wonderful! She was very sweet to our two pups, sent lots of pictures and was very communicative and reliable. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

“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🥲”


“Hannah was wonderful!! We met Hannah for a meet and greet beforehand and you could tell she loved her job! We got plenty of pictures of Georgia during her stay and we could tell Georgia loved Hannah too! I would recommend hannah to anyone who needs a sitter! ?”

“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 🤩”

“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!”


“Mackenzie was great with our two pups, one being an Akita and the other Labrador. She did as requested and kept the visits short and to the point. I would hire her again as I felt she was competent and timely and sent me photos while away.”

About: I have experience working in animal rescue, fostering, basic training, and complex medical maintenance for both dogs and cats. I have fostered over 100 dogs in ten years and owned two heart dogs and three beloved cats, all who had complicated medical conditions that required daily management. Pets are family to me and deserve the best care and consideration. I am currently on sabbatical and looking to fill my days with happy time with pets though walks, play, and just quality time. I’m available every day 11 am to 6 pm. Two days notice is required for both dog walking or dog check-in requests. I have a fenced in back yard and crates, along with dog safe toys, doggy gates, and non slip mats throughout the house for better traction for older dogs.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I also have some experience with cats. Having worked with many puppies, I’m familiar with basic training, reinforcing good habits, and providing the patience and consistency young dogs need. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️🐶 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s regular routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable and happy while in my care. 🐾 Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I follow any instructions provided by the owner regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel secure and maintain consistency. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and affection while ensuring the environment remains clean and safe. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their family is away.
“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.”

“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!!”

“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.”

About: I love caring for animals and I've taken care of many kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. I've had dogs with extra needs (emotional & physical) and senior dogs for many years and I'm happy to help with any needs your pup(s) may have. I love to make simple homemade plant-based treats from scratch and will be happy to share some with your babies too! (with your permission) If your pup has their own favorite treats, of course I'd be happy to share those as well. My dogs have always been my world and I know yours are just as special to you, so when they're in my care they'll be loved just like my own. My schedule is very flexible and I'm free most weekdays and weekends. We can go for strolls around my quiet neighborhood and play outside. Or we can hang out inside and play or just relax; whatever their hearts desire, I'll do my best to make it happen for them. I have a large fenced in back yard in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room to run and play. All dogs are fed separately to help ensure their safety (exceptions can be made for dogs from the same household who are accustomed to eating together, granted there are no other dogs around). I have plenty of space in the home to allow everyone their own space if needed. I'll be sending you updates and photos of your fur babies throughout their stay.
“Highly recommend! Charity was able to help with four last-minute drop-in visits and took wonderful care of my dog. Communication was great, I loved the updates and photos, and I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands.”

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.
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.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have experience with a wide variety of pets and personalities. I have extensive hands-on experience with small animals, especially rabbits, having cared for many of my own over the years and understanding their unique needs, routines, and behaviors. I also have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily available on weekends, with limited weekday availability depending on the timing. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’ve cared for rabbits for over 15 years and have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, litter box and habitat cleaning, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and providing plenty of love and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions (if needed), and any other care preferences. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise or enrichment, and lots of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

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.

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 .

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 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.
