“Ana was great with my Maltese/shih Tzu. This is the first time she’s stayed with anyone more than two days, so we (me & dog) were both a little nervous for this weeklong stay. But Ana sent me a picture and video so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I’ll definitely use her again. Very pleased!”
“Tracie sent updates, with pictures, every day, and Millie (my dog) really seemed to love it there! I was afraid she'd be depressed to be back in our boring home, but she still likes us, I guess. Tracie's daughter even drew a picture of Millie to give to me!”
“Ashley is great!! Storm came back worn out but in the best way! I don’t have a fenced In yard, so makes my heart happy for her to have friends to play with and be able to run freely! She was able to get my last minute, and worked with me on times! Highly recommend, absolutely my go to now!”
About: Kayla: "I grew up with numerous horses, dogs and cats. I've worked at couple pet boarding hotels and the Lexington Humane Society, so I can make sure all of your pet's complex needs are met. I'm not a certified trainer, but I have a lot of experience training horses and dogs (you'd be surprised how much they have in common). More recently, I have been training our Aussie Bandit, which has been a challenging yet rewarding adventure. I believe strongly in positive reinforcement and have read numerous training/pet psychology books to be the best dog mom I can be." Brandon: "My family grew up with a Shiz-Tzu/Maltese mix. I have pet sit numerous of my friend's pet throughout college. Shortly after college, I rescued a dog (unknown pit mix), whom was my companion until Kayla and I met then he became our companion. We would go on walks, roller-blades, runs, and travel the country. If a dog could go on the adventure, he came along. His life was full of love, given and received, and we're ready to open our home to share that love with your dog." Together, we've been dog parents for 10+ years. Brandon works from home and is nearly always available. Pets are allowed on furniture, though not our bed. Snuggles are mandatory. Enrichment is available however your dog prefer: walks, runs, ball in the yard, socialization at the park, mental stimulation treat toys, you name it. Brandon works from home and can let dogs out as frequently as needed during the day. When we're both off work, we tend to do enriching activities with our dog. On weekends, we tend to stay close to home, or take our dog on enriching activities (farmers market, park play, walk) and are happy to bring your dog along if it makes sense to. We have a small fenced in yard, good for bathroom breaks and small play. No children in this house, and we keep the space generally clear for dogs to be able to run/move around. The couch is a fan-favorite for snugglers. We're nice and close to Masterson Station dog park, if your dog needs more space and/or likes to be social.
About: What Sets Me Apart Lifetime of Hands-On Care Across All Animals I bring a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of animals—not just dogs and cats, but also horses, chickens, goats, and lizards. Whether it’s managing pasture care for equines, maintaining coop hygiene, or handling bearded dragons, I have the practical knowledge to care for your entire farm, backyard, or household family. Structured, Safe & Stress-Free Environment I maintain a structured daily routine that keeps pets calm, secure, and well-behaved. Clear schedules for feeding, exercise, and rest help reduce separation anxiety and give your pets the consistency they thrive on. Specialized Care for Every Life Stage Puppy Care & Reinforcement: I help maintain house-training schedules, crate routines, and basic obedience so your puppy/dog stays on track while you're away. Senior & Special Needs Care: Older animals require patience, gentle mobility assistance, and precise administration of medications or supplements. I ensure your senior pets stay comfortable, supported, and loved. Unconditional Love & Total Peace of Mind Above all, your pets will be treated like family in a warm, loving atmosphere. You will never have to wonder how they are doing—I send regular picture and video updates throughout every stay so you can see firsthand how happy and well-cared-for they are. Structuring a pet sitting business alongside a flexible primary job requires clear boundary setting and time-blocking. I can put the needs of your precious pets first! My flexible work gives me control over when I perform my primary tasks, pet sitting seamlessly wraps around my core work hours—prioritizing my schedule around all your pet needs. 1. Care in My Home (Boarding & Daycare) When pets stay at my home, my clients want to know their pet will be secure, comfortable, and well-integrated into your daily routine. Fenced Yard & Outdoor Safety: Full physical fence (specify height, e.g., 6-foot privacy fence) with secure, double-latched gates. Constant visual supervision during all outdoor time; pets are never left outside unattended. Regular yard sweeps to ensure no toxic plants, sharp objects, or escape hazards exist. Indoor Environment & Comfort: Climate-controlled space with dedicated rest areas and cozy nooks. Pet-proofed living spaces (secured trash bins, hidden electrical cords, no accessible household chemicals or small ingestion hazards). Separate feeding areas to prevent food guarding or resource conflict between guest pets. Daily Routine & Playtime: Structured day mixing interactive play (fetch, puzzle toys, agility drills) with peaceful downtime. Temperament evaluations before group play to match pets with compatible energy levels and play styles. 2. Care in the Client's Home (House Sitting & Drop-In Visits) When caring for pets in their own environment, the primary goal is maintaining their familiar routines while protecting the client's home security. Home Security & Entry Trust: Strict key and access code management Strict lock-up procedures: verifying all doors, windows, and side gates are fully locked upon departure. Discretion and privacy—no unauthorized guests brought into the client's house at any time. Routine & Stress Reduction: Strict adherence to the pet’s established feeding, medication, and sleep schedules to minimize separation anxiety. Detailed care logs and photo/video updates sent after every visit or daily during house sits. Emergency Preparedness: Documenting local emergency vet information, pet insurance, and primary vet contacts prior to the first visit. Immediate notification protocol for any signs of illness, distress, or home maintenance issues (e.g., pipe leaks). 3. Exercise, Walks & Playtime (All Services) Physical and mental stimulation are core components of pet well-being. Outline your exact standards for outdoor outings and play. Leash & Walk Safety: Double-check rule: Inspecting harnesses, collars, and leashes for wear before every walk. No off-leash walking in open or un-fenced public areas. Defensively walking pets—giving wide clearance to unfamiliar dogs, traffic, and high-distraction zones. Weather & Environmental Precautions: Pavement check: Testing asphalt heat with the back of the hand in hot weather (if too hot for 7 seconds, it's too hot for paws). Adjusting activity intensity based on weather (short relief walks during extreme heat/cold, substituted with indoor brain games and enrichment). Carrying fresh water and a portable bowl on all outings over 15 minutes. Enrichment & Active Play: Tailoring exercise to the pet's age, breed, and physical condition (high-energy runs vs. gentle sniffaris for senior dogs).
“Kelsey was awesome with my Great Dane zeke. He usually has a rough time at boarders when he’s in a crate and won’t eat,drink etc. Kelsey went above and beyond to make sure my big guy was taken care of and comfortable. He went on walks,car rides and even had a heated mattress cover on him.he is worn out.i would use her again and advise anyone to use her. She will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are comfortable.”
“I left him with my Simba for 3 days he gave consistent updates with photos. He has 2 lovely dogs who are very friendly and great at taking Simba out of his shell 10/10 would recommend.”
“Reached out to Lelainy on short notice to watch our buddy Boone for fall break. She was very responsive the entire stay and provided updates/pictures frequently. Her dogs and Boone got along great and I think he really enjoyed his stay. Would absolutely recommend her to watch your dog without hesitation.”
About: I’m an experienced pet and dog lover who has been actively involved in animal rescue for 25 years. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of every type and temperament—from high-energy pups and shy rescues to senior pets and those with special needs. I currently share my home with two dogs of my own and remain very active with local animal rescue efforts. I work from home, so I’m available for boarding, daytime care, last-minute requests, and nearby potty-break drop-ins in the community. Your pets will receive plenty of enrichment throughout the day, lots of outdoor time, and a calm, consistent routine. They’ll have access to comfortable furniture, socialization opportunities (when appropriate), and engaging activities so they feel secure and stimulated while in my care. I typically accept dogs up to 40 lbs and can make exceptions for larger, well-trained dogs. I’m happy to care for multiple dogs at once when schedules and temperaments allow. As a lifelong animal lover, I genuinely enjoy the time I spend with pets and am committed to giving them the same attention, patience, and care I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and providing a safe, enriching experience they (and you) can trust. I work from home, so I’m available for boarding, daytime care, last-minute requests, and nearby potty-break drop-ins in the community any day of the week. As a work-from-home pet sitter, I offer flexible availability for overnight boarding, daytime care, last-minute bookings, and local potty-break drop-ins. Your pet will enjoy a calm, consistent routine filled with plenty of outdoor time and daily enrichment. I provide a secure and stimulating environment complete with cozy furniture, interactive activities, and opportunities for safe socialization when appropriate.
“Winnie was great watching my dog while I was out of town. He came home happy and relaxed. She sent pictures and was very communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off. The whole process was really easy and stress-free. Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, from owning miniature schnauzer’s and golden retrievers to even raising my own litter of 11 golden doodle puppies. I know how to give dogs the special and individual attention they need as well as making them feel loved. I’m currently a full time student, but I have a lot of gaps in my schedule to fill. I’m available almost anytime during the week, except for Thursday right now. I live in a condo by myself and have a lot of free time so I can make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for in their environment. I appreciate any specific instructions from their owners to make sure they stick to their routines.
“Megan was great!! She sent regular updates and sent lots of pictures. Bella fit right in with her crew of dogs. I highly recommend if needed a pet sitter!”
“Rachel took very good care of our 2 dogs. One of our dogs tends to get very anxious when we leave and Rachel was able to give him the extra attention and love he needed. I could def tell the difference between bringing them to a boarding facility and then this time to Rachel. So happy we found her!”
About: As a trusted home-body I’m always the one to watch family and friends’ pets when they go out of town. And I love it! I’m a freelancer who works from home so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have more than enough time to play, cuddle, train, take walks, and give your dog all of the attention and care they deserve! I have a large fenced-in backyard and two dogs of my own to keep yours company during their stay. I have one 6 year old chihuahua and one 10-month old rat terrier puppy with plenty of friendly, playful energy. We have tons of toys and treats as well. If they’re kennel-trained, I have a kennel they can feel safe and secure in.
“My favorite sitter in Lexington! Couldn’t recommend her enough. She sent me videos and photos everyday, and my dog looked so happy! He got to play with other dogs, and in their fenced in yard. So so communicative and helpful. I will be using her every chance I get.”
“Julie is just amazing! We’ve had our dogs stay with her a number of times. She treats them like her own and nothing is better then getting updates of our fur babies while we are away.”
About: Hi! My name is Kalin, and I'm someone who loves God, people, animals, and life in general! I've always been told that I'm a happy person with a big smile, and I try my best to share that happiness with everyone I meet. I have a huge heart for animals, and I'll admit, sometimes I think I love them more than people! After all, pets never judge you, and they're always there to love you no matter what kind of day you're having. When it comes to caring for your dog, I promise to treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. To me, pets aren't just animals. They're family, and I treat them like my own children (if I had any!). A little fun fact about me: my absolute favorite food is pasta with marinara sauce! I could probably fill this page three times over with stories and little things about myself, but I'll spare you all that reading for now! If you'd like to get to know me better or have any questions about how I'll care for your furry family member, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I'd love to hear from you, and I hope to meet you and your sweet pup soon! God bless! Thank You For Your Business. Kalin F. I do not have a job and I do this full time. I can give your fur-baby plenty of love and care. Contact me for more information, I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can create your dog if needed. Contact me for more information.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Midway can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Midway home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Midway.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Midway. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Midway sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
