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.
“Thanks to Jennifer for another great week walking Zeus! My dog looks forward to seeing Jennifer every day she comes to walk him, and always looks so happy in the photo updates she sends!”
“We have absolutely loved having Jade walk our dogs! She is really understanding of their needs and works well with them. She’s highly communicative and I love getting the reports in the middle of the day. Definitely would recommend!”
“Aubriana was absolutely wonderful with our dog! He gets so excited for their walks, and it’s really helped him calm down at night having his midday walk. He’s a new shelter pup that has some stubbornness and separation anxiety, but she’s so calm and patient with him. Highly recommend Aubriana, and will be continuing to book with her!”
“Can't explain how grateful I am. Just words can't explain. My dog loved her and she treated her amazingly. Absolutely no complaints or worries about my dog being not taken care of. She takes care of the pup and is involed with the pup”
About: I love dogs and have always had a deep love for animals. My dogs have brought me so much joy over the years, and I love giving that same care and affection back. I’m an avid animal lover, stay connected with rescue communities, and truly understand how much pets mean to their families. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or hosting small dogs in my clean, organized home in a safe neighborhood, I would care for your pup like my own. I have lots of love to give and would be so excited to spend time with your precious pup! I work for myself, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide pet sitting and care on a regular basis. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and seeing their friendly faces always makes my day. I have a friendly pup named Layla. She is great with other pups. They love to play! She has had many dogs in the home, goes to the dog park regularly as well. Crates are highly encouraged for Dogs safety when we are gone. You just never know In a new environment. I have a medium sized one if needed.
About: I can’t remember a time when I did not have a pet. I my lifetime, I have had dogs, cats, and enough other animals to form a menagerie. I currently have 4 fur babies at home (2 dogs and 2 cats) and pet sit on a regular basis for a local family that has 4 cats and one dog. Please give me all the snuggles!!! I am usually the first person friends reach out to when their baby needs a petsitter. I even once was entrusted to dog-sit a friend’s elderly pooch that had an extensive medication schedule that included chemotherapy. I am happy to provide your fur baby with a mature, loving experience that you will be ecstatic with. I am currently working full time in Columbia but would be very happy to check in on your babies before work or after and on the weekends. Please reach out so we can come up with a schedule that works for both of us. From the time I enter your home, your fur baby is the focus of my attention. I specialize in providing the individualized attention your baby is used to getting from you. Play, walks, treats, someone to sit on the couch and pet? I am here to give the love your baby wants. I will take their lead in the interaction. I will also send pictures of your baby because I know how special they are to receive when you are away.
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’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.
About: I’m a nurse, but I started as a veterinary technician! I worked 10 years as a vet tech and 20 as a nurse! I have lots of experience with training after 3 very stubborn huskies! Happy to continue any training while you are away! I have always loved anything with fur (or feathers) and consider this my fun (mommy me time) job! Special talents include belly rubs and handing out treats (if allowed)! I currently work from home, so I am available for morning, lunch, and evening visits! So, I can accommodate most any need! Plus, I appreciate the exercise I get too! Your pets will all receive belly rubs and hugs (if they are in agreement). They will always get outdoor time, whether it’s a walk or exercise in the backyard. I always clean up any messes. I’ll sweep or swiffer several times to ensure you can return home and relax! I am also happy to water any plants.
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've owned dogs my whole life and now I have cats too. I love all animals though whether I own them or not. If you want someone who is really good with animals, I'm your girl. I'm currently working part time so will have plenty of time to stop in and look after your pet. Just let me know what day and I will put you on my calender. I will be very careful entering your home making sure no pets are trying to escape. I am very conscience of my surrounding so your pets health and safety is my number one priority.
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.
About: Since I was 12, after a long time of convincing my mom to let me get a dog, I’ve loved taking care of and being responsible for animals. I spend my time at the animal shelter playing with the dogs and three years ago I adopted my own rescue cat. She is my world! I’m currently doing school work all online! Because of this I have a pretty open schedule. I often need time away from the screen anyways and there is no better break than playing with an animal or taking a walk! I have a cat in my home that roams wherever she wants. She is dog friendly and super sweet! I also have a dog friendly neighborhood with lots of grass around to play in.
“Samira has been a jewel! She is reliable and just an awesome person. Bentley loves her and we will miss her dearly! Thank you Samira for being consistently there for Bentley! You rock!!!”

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!

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
