“Kay did an amazing job with our cats, we have a very temperamental old man and a very skittish little girl and Kay was able to win them both over in no time! Will absolutely be rebooking for our future trips.”
About: Grew up with 2 Labs (Auggie + Nate), 2 Carolina Dogs (Silo + Pepper), and 20+ cats (at different times). Experience boarding high energy dogs and dogs with separation anxiety! Have transitioned out of full time education and searching for a new position. Meaning? I’m free all day! I’m awake for morning potty breaks and can be home in time for when your furry friends want D-I-N-N-E-R. Weekends and summers are open too! So when I sit overnight in your home, it’s not just drop-and-run; your pets are part of my daily routine. Depending on location, here’s some more details on my current availability: As of March 2026 I am available all day. Let me know your dog’s needs and I can tailor my schedule!
About: I have always lived with pets from cats and dogs to fish and rodents. I have taken care of animals from puppy aged to senior furry friends. I’d love to get to know your pet! I am working full time during the week and part time on weekends. I have more time on Fridays and weekends especially to stay over. I am open to discussing schedules so let me know! I spend time with my pets both inside and outside. Days with my pets include relaxing, exercising, and TLC. I am able to walk dogs either in a neighborhood or transport your pet to a dog park or local walking path.
“Amanda has been a wonderful go-to cat sitter when we go out of town. We have 8 indoor/outdoor cats that generally take care of themselves but need to be fed every two days, and she makes sure to stay for a full 30 minutes anyway to play with whoever is home at the time and is very communicative. She was also willing to charge us the rate for only two cats since the work is minimal, which is kind. Recommended!”
“Crystal was quick to respond and get booking details confirmed, though I made it on short notice. Very communicative during when I was gone. An absolute delight to work with. Plan on booking with her again.”
“Stephanie is fantastic, and we are grateful to have her available for drop in visits. She is very professional, great at communication, and someone we trust completely in our home, and our cat clearly is grateful for the time Stephanie spends with her.”
About: I grew up around both cats and dogs and have always loved animals. I currently have a one-year-old miniature dachshund and a 10-year-old cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and sticking to whatever routine your pet is used to. I’m patient with shy or nervous animals and will make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I am available on weekday evenings (5-9pm)/early mornings (5-6:30 am) and 100% available on weekends. I am open to discussing other options as well! Just reach out :) I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and sticking to the routine they’re used to. I pay attention to things like secure doors, leashes on walks, and making sure pets aren’t getting into anything they shouldn’t. I treat other people’s pets the same way I treat my own and always try to make them feel relaxed while their owners are away. I’m also happy to send updates so you know how your pet is doing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lexington on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 268 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
