About: I am a dog mom of two! They are my world, but I have never met an animal I didn’t like!! Small or big they are all special and need love!! I work as a caregiver in the evenings Monday through Thursday 3:30-10 and Friday 3:30-8. So I am available all other hours of the day. I also have the flexibility if I must to make a quick stop by during working hours if I need. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs who love making new friends and having play dates! I believe that the house is there home and they are welcome to sleep and lay on the couches and beds!!

My senior dog was very well taken care of during our absence. I loved receiving daily updates and pictures so I wouldn’t miss him so much! Thank you for taking care of him while we were gone.

Kim is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Kim and asked if she could walk my two dogs for a couple of days. Kim kindly replied to me quickly and was very accommodating to my last minute request. She treated my dogs with so much love and care. She made sure to refill their water, give them a few treats and sent me some adorable pictures of them where they looked so happy! She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've worked on horse farms since I was 16, earned my bachelors in equine science and have a masters of science degree. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own. I also have a strong understanding of animal behaviors and body language. I am also very passionate in dog training as well. I have experience in administering IM medications and oral medications. I have worked for WAG! which is another walking/boarding platform where I would walk clients dogs on demand and also provided in home boarding. A typical day for me starts between 7-9 am where I immediately let the dogs out to use the bathroom and then back in for breakfast. I occasionally leave the house to run errands but usually not longer than 2 hours. Can tailor to your dogs need if they can't be left alone. Throughout the day I will let the dogs outside as they wish and always with supervision. I feed dinner around 6:30pm. For drop in visits I am able to tailor for whatever your animals needs are and typically available for multiple drop in visits during the day if needed. I have a large fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats. I have multiple rooms if your pet needs so quiet time or space from the other animals. I am equipped with multiple crates and baby gates as well if needed. I have a backseat dog hammock and and dog seat belts if needed as well.

About: Apart from my good aura & energy, cats are drawn to my respectful boundaries & patience to let them come to me when they are ready. I have been cat sitting for so long that I am familiar with several types of litter boxes, toys, foods & signs. "My cat has never warmed up so fast to anyone" remains a common phrase throughout my entire life. I wake up and let my parents dog out, clean the litter box for their cats & then feed the fish in case my mother forgot. I also feed the dog in the afternoon (mom does morning) & the cats as well. Any help that is needed along with vet visits, fall on me since I am home more than anyone. I make sure that I am aware of any hiding spots in other peoples homes for cats so that I can check on them constantly even if it just means checking that they are still in the same spot. Cats, depending on playfulness, need attention & proper care. I make sure I set alarms or reminders if they need medication or special care from the owners. Watching tv, reading a book or cleaning are my favorite past times while I cat sit. If I need to be home all day with them, then I will entertain myself easily.

About: With a lifetime of experience living with dogs and cats and a year of consistent dogsitting, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages and energy levels. I provide in-home overnight stays, drop-ins, and dog walking to help keep your pet comfortable in their familiar space. As a paraeducator, I’m organized, calm under pressure, and attentive to individual needs. I understand how important routine, safety, and communication are, and I take pride in providing dependable care you can trust. I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care. I’m available for overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks throughout the week and on weekends. Because of this flexibility, I can provide reliable, attentive care and adjust to each pet’s unique routine and energy level. My approach to pet care is structured, attentive, and tailored to each individual pet. Before care begins, I like to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, triggers, and any medical or behavioral needs. • Overnight stays: Maintain normal schedule, walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. • Drop-ins: Bathroom breaks, feeding, fresh water, enrichment/play, and safety check of the home. • Walks: Safe leash handling, appropriate exercise, and attention to weather and surroundings. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos during each visit.

About: I have experience caring for pets with a variety of needs, including my own senior dachshund, so i understand the patience, attention, and mobility support older pets require. I’ve also provided dog and house sitting for some pets who needed medication, and I’m confident in my ability to deliver it safely and on schedule. I’ve also owned hamsters in the past. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I’m open to caring for a variety of different pets (apart from spiders!). I promise to give your pets plenty of attention and quality care while you’re away :) I work a part time job about 20-30hrs/week, and I’m a full time college student. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I’m available weekday mornings, as well as all day Thursday/Friday! I follow instructions carefully, while making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their environment. I keep things tidy and will provide updates for owners!

About: I have been pet sitting for two years now with the help of my mother's pet grooming/sitting business, and now I wish to start my own and provide quality pet care to dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages. Since I have graduated from highschool, and will be taking a gap year before going to college, I will have plenty of time to care for your doggos and cats, being available anytime you need me and on any day of the week! I am a very adaptive individual, and will follow any instructions you leave for me concerning your fur babies, and I will ensure your pets receive the utmost care and attention that my pets at home receive daily!

About: I have eight years of pet care experience ranging from dogs and cats to small rodents and reptiles. Not only have I been pet sitting since 2018, I’ve also been a frequent volunteer at my local animal shelter. I am the perfect sitter for your furry friend because I balance respect for a safety and appropriate guidance with a big heart and passion to make pets happy. I am familiar and comfortable with cleaning, vet visits, walking and providing medication as necessary. Additionally, I love to play, cuddle, and tend to the curiosity of my dogs, and I intend to do all the same for yours! My schedule is open during both weekdays and weekends, so I am both able to watch your pets when it’s convenient to you, and able to receive bookings and cancellations same-day. I have two big pups of my own at home, but as I live at home with my family, they will not need to travel with me to other places to care for your pets. That’s being said, I take great care of my dogs!

Toby gets a treat after he goes potty. We let him out in the fenced backyard every 3-4 hours or when he goes to the door. He also likes to lay on the deck and sunbath.

About: Hi! I'm Audrey! I'm currently a stay at home mama, so my schedule is very flexible! I am happy to do a meet and greet with you & your fur baby before we get scheduled, please reach out if you have questions! I can't wait to talk to you! More about me: I grew up in a home with dogs from the time that I was a baby - I can't ever remember a time in my life where I didn't have a fur baby. I was first rescued by my dog, Kiah, when I was 13 years old. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 dog friendly cats (though these kitties stay in separate rooms away from the areas your animals would be). If you have an animal that needs shots, medications, or any special needs - I'm the girl for you; I have personal experience with my own animals that have needed shots, medicines, etc. For dog walking: I'm a stay at home mama so I have plenty of time during the day to stop in to see your baby! I can do anywhere between 15 minute walks to 60 minute walks. For doggy daycare or boarding: Still a stay at home mom - ha! This means I am home most of the day unless I am taking other pups on walks. My husband also works from home so there is someone here a majority of the time, unless we are going grocery shopping that weekend! We also have three dog loving teens! Our dogs spend a lot of time playing in the backyard and resting snuggled up on our couches. For dog walking: I love being outside - so spending quality time with your baby on a walk is important to me! I always make sure to have water accessible for your baby before/after a walk as well. On our walks, I'll make sure to have bags to pick up any bathroom needs as well! For doggy daycare & boarding: We are home a majority of the time, when we aren't home we always prefer to crate dogs that are crate trained that way they are able to stay safe! If they aren't, we are happy to work with you & see what you do with your baby when you're gone. We never leave two dogs that aren't familiar with each other alone in the same room either!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Nicholasville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Nicholasville on Rover is $23.31 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 743 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Nicholasville. 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 Nicholasville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Nicholasville.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Nicholasville. On Rover:

  • 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
