“Skylar was my very first hired sitter for my cat, & she helped me feel so at peace with it all. She is a good communicator, friendly, & responsive, & i would definitely hire her again. Thank you for taking such good care of DejaVu!! 💕”
“Celia is a great dog sitter! I have peace of mind knowing she will take care of my pups and the genuine love she has for animals, and she is thorough and attentive to their needs!”
“Jada was absolutely wonderful during her drop in visit! She graciously allowed me and my pup to meet her before booking. She was so attentive and caring with my dog and it was clear right away that my pup adored her. I really appreciated how patient and engaged she was; she went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and happy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Hannah was wonderful with our two kitties! She sent pictures and detailed Rover Cards that we truly appreciated! This made us much more relaxed while being away! She was not previously familiar with cat inhalers, but was willing to learn during the meet and greet. We will definitely book Hannah for future drop in visits! Thank you Hannah!”
“My dogs had a great time with the drop in visits with Destinee. She came within the time frame I requested. Her photos kept me up to date. The dogs were taken care of like they were hers. Thank you for a great service. I'll definitely rebook with Destinee.”
About: I have many years of experience taking care of every different kind of animal. I’m here to take your dog on walks, to play, feed your pet if you’re gone, care for them overnight, at your place or mine! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, and all of your smaller pets as well. I’m extremely flexible to care for your pet during the day for walks, feeding, play time, as well as overnight while you’re gone! I currently do not have any pets in my home, making it a safe environment for all of yours! I enjoy getting to spend time with your best friends and will treat them with the same love and care as if they’re my own.
“Cory & Stacey were Great! They treated our cats as if they were their own. Their daily comments reflected the careful attention they paid to them. And the pictures taken always helped to reassure us that the cats were in great hands. We will definitely ask for them the next time we need them!”
“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.”
“It was clear my pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My sitter went above and beyond to make sure they stayed on their normal routine and received plenty of love and attention. I came home to relaxed, happy pets and everything was just as I left it. I will certainly be using Riley again.”
“Susan is absolutely amazing! This is my second time booking her for my boys and she has been nothing but thorough when it comes to the care my boys receive and the updates I get on my end! Thank you again!”
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!
“We used Jade as a sitter for the first time for a weekend trip. She took the time to find all 4 cats on each visit, including the shy ones. She sent photos and updates each visit. We will definitely schedule with her again!”
“This is our second time using Kelli to care for our kitties while we were away on vacation. Just like the first time she did an amazing job. She took great care of both of our cats. Gave them pets, snuggles and treats. Our newest cat Harvey who is a bit shy took to Kelli right away. I think the first day he was full on snuggling her. Both of my cats have liked Kelli from their first meeting. Animals can tell when a person is good and Kelli has a heart of gold. She's not just great with our kitties. She took so many photos and gave great updates each day. As long as Kelli is still pet sitting when we do any future trips, she'll be our go to sitter. Seriously could not ask for anyone better to care for your animals. Thank you, Kelli. We truly appreciate you!”
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: 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.
“Aimee is wonderful with our two fur babies! She takes them out for potty breaks and walks, and gives them lots of snuggles. When we can’t be home during the day, we always feel comfortable knowing Aimee is coming by.”

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!
Aimee was absolutely amazing with our 2 cats. We were away and were not able to communicate but we know our cats were in good hands. Aimee was always on time and always went above and beyond so our cats never felt lonely. Aimee even got our super elusive Kulfi to come out for pets and treats! We will definitely book her services again.
Kelli was great with our three cats! One of our girls is very shy and doesn’t always like to meet new people, but she really liked Kelli and that made me feel so much better! I asked her if she would be able to do a few extra things around the house (set the trash on the curb, sweep up litter, etc) and she did so with no complaints! I will definitely be booking her again
Cory & Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of our bearded dragon and feral cat colony. They took photos daily and gave me updates and even checked my bearded dragons basking light temp to make sure he was getting what he needed and got him some carrots on their own since he wasn’t eating well. Thank you so much! Took so much anxiety away from me while traveling!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lexington on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,076 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lexington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lexington. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
