“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!”
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’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: 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.
“Last minute request and Susan came through. Trust her with the furbabies and she communicates throughout. Helps me feel at ease knowing they are in good hands. Thank you!!”

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.
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.

I grew up with dogs (golden retriever, beagle, german shepard), gerbils, bunnies, a bearded dragon, fish, and currently have 2 cats + a senior german shepard. I have pet sat for family & friends since I was a teenager + been on Rover for about 3 years, and also have job experience as a vet tech, kennel worker, & volunteer at an animal shelter. I’m open to all breeds and sizes, and even pets outside of dogs and cats if needed. I look forward to meeting you & your fur babies! I am an artist, yoga teacher, and nanny for work! I have availability on week day evenings and most weekends - I also am usually in town for most holidays and available! I’m very attentive and caring with your pets, in the same way I’d wish for someone to care for mine. I love playing with them and taking walks, easing their separation anxiety, and I prioritize their safety, comfort, and fun!
About: I have been caring for dogs of all breads, sizes and ages for over 15 years. I had a childhood cocker spaniel that introduced me to the responsibilities and dedication of having a dog. But it wasn't until college, until I really fell in love with dogs when I got my own mixed breed dog. I love the love of a pet! I enjoy spending time with dogs, walking them, playing with them and cuddling them! Dogs seem to gravitate towards me and me to them. I work from home most days, so my schedule is flexible which allows me to help others during breaks. I am in town most weekends and can care for animals during this time. I am available most days 7am to 7pm. I can care for your dog in your own home or depending on the need and details, in my own home too. I have a fenced backyard and a medium-sized doggie door for easy access. I have a crate for dogs that would like that comfort or I can use yours. I feel comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and loving your dog!

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!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Lexington is $17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 October 2026, there are 1,002 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Lexington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lexington. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
