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: Hello, pet parents! Animals have been a part of my life for over 40 years, and caring for them is truly one of my greatest joys. Every pet who welcomes me into their world is treated like family, with plenty of love, patience, belly rubs, playtime, and affection. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality—from energetic adventurers to champion snugglers—and I believe every pet deserves individualized care. My goal is simple: for you to leave knowing your best friend is safe, loved, and excited to see me again. Feel free to browse my reviews and photos of the wonderful pets I’ve been lucky enough to care for. I believe every pet has their own personality, and getting to know what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved is my favorite part of being a pet si One of the greatest benefits I offer is flexibility. I understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan, and I’m happy to accommodate your scheduling needs whenever possible. My goal is to provide your pet with the same consistency, love, and companionship they receive when you’re home. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and respect for their unique personality and routine. I carefully follow your care instructions to maintain the consistency and comfort your pet is accustomed to, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I believe the little details matter, and I take pride in giving every pet the individualized attention they deserve.
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 always been an animal lover and have been pet sitting for around 3 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me with walking, feeding, and making sure their pets feel safe and loved. I recently graduated high school and currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to give your pups the attention, playtime, and care they deserve! I provide loving, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and needs! Whether in my home or my client’s home, I stick closely to their feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable. I make sure they have a safe, clean environment and plenty of attention. I also send updates and photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away!
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.
About: I have had my own animals (dogs, cats, rabbits etc.) for over 15 years and have also spent over 7 years as a lead oncology/internal medicine veterinary technician at a prestigious animal hospital. You can definitely trust your fur babies are in good hands when they are with me! I am available with little to no scheduling conflicts in sight. I am available during typical working hours and evenings as well as most weekends. I have one dog at home who would love to have some friends to play with. He is used to small and large dogs as well as cats. I also have 2 cats at home and they are used to being around dogs of all kinds. I give great snuggles and I'm even ok with drooly kisses.
“Heidi accepted a last minute booking for my two pups. She was kind, punctual, and did a great job with them. She responded to my questions in a timely manner. I appreciate her helping with my fur babies.”
About: I have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, literally! Everything from small to large dogs, cats and kittens, fish, guinea pig and even a baby goat! I adore all animals and spending time with them. I myself have owned small and large dogs, a hamster, and I currently have a Pitbull/Lab mix, so I know how to handle hyper pups! ! I also have experience with giving medications to pets. If a dog enjoys walks, I would love to take them for one! I would love to be there to take care and hangout with your pets while you are away! I am willing to sit for almost any kind of pet, be it a dog, cat or other type of animal. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am not working currently, but am a stay at home mom. I am most available in the afternoons or evenings during the week. Weekends are typically free! If there is a gate in the client’s home, I will always make sure it is closed. I always make sure pups are put up before I leave (if needed), doors are always locked, even when I am in house with them or away.
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 taking care of animals since I was a kid, having grown up on a hobby farm and competed in cat, horse, goat, chicken (and more) showmanship in 4H. My zoo is much smaller now, with two dogs and three cats! I love meeting new furry kiddos, and am always up for a walk, a game of fetch, or giving a good chin scratch. ☺️ Since I work part time, I have lots of availability to care for your pet! My own pups get daily exercise, playtime, and enrichment activities, and I’m happy to provide your pup with the same when you’re busy! On walks and drop in’s, it’s my goal to get as much zoomies and energy out as possible in the time we have - but I know some pups take time to warm up to new carers. I’m happy to take the time your pup needs to trust me, so our next visit is even more fun!
“He does an excellent job taking care of our dogs! He is responsible, attentive, and very caring. Our dogs are happy and well taken care of. We’re very pleased with his service and would definitely recommend him.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for multiple families over the past 8 years, providing reliable care through drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I grew up with dogs of my own, gaining hands-on experience in everything from potty training puppies to caring for senior dogs. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I’m currently finishing up grad school and have full availability for bookings throughout April. Starting in May, I’ll be available Friday evenings and weekends outside of my clinical hours. I honor each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In your home, I stick closely to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.
“Kelli has been amazing with my dogs! Reliable, caring, and always on time. I love getting updates and pictures during each walk it’s clear she genuinely care. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!”
About: Welcome to my page fellow fur baby parents! I have taken care of dogs, cats and birds since I was a little child :) For over 30 plus years. I am good with bathing them and I enjoy taking walks with them so they can get their exercise. We have a great neighborhood with plenty of safe walking area. A house is not a home without fur babies. And I will treat yours just like I treat mine in my family 😊 I can’t wait to meet you all and be your potential new care taker for your furry family members! Please read my reviews. I absolutely love working with animals and I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! I work from home, if you decide to board your animals in my home I will be here all day. Otherwise, if you need help you take care of your fur babies in your own home my hours are flexible with my job. I absolutely love animals and think they are a gift to us. I have a large fenced in backyard. I currently have my own 10 year old lab mix she is a female and she is fixed. She is extremely friendly and would love to have company. I don’t have any holes or areas in our backyard that your fur baby would be able to get out of and they are not let outside unattended. We enjoy playing frisbee as well and catch!
“The best dog sitter I have ever had! My dog immediately loved her. She even got my dog to walk when she was scared by loud fireworks. I highly recommend Lakotah and hope to book her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dog when they are out of town each year, and have grown to love caring for pets of all kinds. I have also recently done drop in visits for a friend’s family, and took care of 4 dogs and 5 cats for 6 days straight. I made sure I got all their meds down, and loved and cuddled on all of them! I am available full time right now, and I am wanting to gain more experience since this is something I want to keep pursuing since I do love animals so much. I have a fenced yard at my house. My dog Indy is very territorial about his space so I will not be able to keep pets at my place. I will keep my client on speed dial when in their home because I don’t want to break any boundaries, and am always double checking on what the animals need.

Jade was the perfect fit for our dog. She was thorough in the meet and greet. Her communication with us before and during was very good. She is knowledgeable about dog behaviors and was able to alert us to an issue our dog was having. 10/10 we are keeping her number close for the next time we need help!

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 your Lexington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
