“Sarah is detail oriented, kind, and has a calming manner. She was responsive to the needs of my dog and cat, even slowly bringing my old shy cat out of his shell. Definitely recommend!”
“Dina is wonderful! The pups absolutely loved her and it was so nice to know that they were being checked on while we were gone for the day. I also got some really cute photos! I highly recommend Dina!”
“jessica was awesome. she followed instructions well and i could tell she really cared for my dog. i already have rebooked with her and would highly recommend!”
“Tiffany was great! This was our first time using rover and everything went so smoothly! Tiffanys communication was great and we would love to utilize her in the future!”
“Like always she takes care of my brats! I appreciate her interaction with my boys. I highly recommend Kara, she will take care of your babies, like she take care of mine.”
“Angelee was amazing and took time out of her day to care for my pups! Couldn’t be more thankful for her! She sent photos and kept me updated during the visit! Will be using again!”
“Cat was so great watching our cats for a few days on somewhat late notice. She was attentive to messages and gave frequent updates. When we came back our cats were completely unbothered by us being gone for the long weekend! Would recommend and use again.”
“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”
“Margaret was amazing with my cat, Maya! She gave regular updates, took great care of her, and even went as far as helping with her knots. Maya was so happy and comfortable and I would highly recommend!”
“Taylor watched my two cats while I was away for Thanksgiving. She sent great photo updates everyday and my cats looked like they really enjoyed her. She was on-time and very communicative with updates about them. I would definitely book with Taylor again!”
“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”
“Allison was great with our senior dogs, who required a little extra love. She sent us multiple updates and pictures throughout the day. The dogs enjoyed the playtime and cuddles. We will definitely be using Allison again!”
“We absolutely love having Addie over to spend time and care for Wilson! Every time we head out of town, we know he'll be in excellent hands with her.”
“Tanya was very attentive to our pups! She played with them & gave them their dinner as planned. She took the time to give them special attention since we were gone all day! She was very punctual & sent us photos as well! We will definitely be using her again. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies!”
About: I have interned at a vet clinic my senior year of high school, worked at an animal shelter, and have owned dogs since I was 8. I’m currently going to school at UK, but I have a gab in my mornings from around 11-2 most days that I am available and then of course after classes! I would feed, water, and provide walks and also some play time for dogs, then with cats I would feed, water, and I would also play with whatever toys they have.
“Phillip was amazing with my kitty Scooter. He took care of her while I was away for a week and I was astonished at the magic that he worked on her. She is a sweet girl that can take some time to warm up to people, but he got her to play with him in no time. I will definitely be booking Phillip again the next time Scooter is in need of a sitter, and I highly recommend him for any other cat owners in the area.”
Lexington-Fayette cat parents share their Rover experiences
Can’t say enough nice things about Sarah! She was a lifesaver taking care of my three boys (one who needs medication twice a day, too), sent great pictures, had excellent communication, and helped me out even though it was a very last minute request. I know Einstein is already looking forward to your next visit, Sarah!
Margaret was fantastic with my cat! She made sure to stick around to ensure she got her medication and was totally willing to give oral meds if needed. I was so worried about leaving my sick cat for the weekend, but Margaret sent pictures, and videos of each visit!
We felt so comfortable throughout our trip with Angelee checking in on our cat! She was communicative, provided important updates with wonderful pictures, and paid close attention to our instructions! Our cat can get a bit finicky/down when we are out of town, but Angelee did an amazing job keeping him on his routine and making extra efforts to make sure he was well fed and well loved! We came home to a very happy and well cared for cat!
Kate was awesome with our sweet little senior kitty Chai! Chai needs a lot of special care right now and Kate skillfully managed everything. Chai is usually not happy to meet new people, but she liked Kate right away! I’m so glad to have someone to call on when Chai needs care in the future.
