“Kayla has watched our fur babies on several occasions. She does a great job of caring for everyone’s special needs and communicates with me often. I would highly recommend Kayla!”
About: I grew up with dogs. As an adult rescued a dog, worked w rescues for over 10 yrs. Fostered rescues, worked at animal shelter. My own dogs I show and personal service train for me. I work full time at night and have time days and evenings for your fur babies. Work anytime around both yours and my schedule too. Because I live in apartment, I have fenced park to play. Play with my dogs too. Can be crated for safety too while I work. I have cameras on my dogs at all times for safety.
About: I have been passionately caring for dogs for 15 years. As a lifelong animal lover, I have always had pups in my own home, giving me a deep understanding of their needs. Over the years, I've been the go-to pet sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it's daily walks, feeding routines, or overnight house sitting, my loved ones have always relied on me to treat their fur babies like my own. I am also able to take care of senior dogs if needed, I am very skilled in that by giving medication on time and making sure they are well taken care of since they do need a little more love because of their age. I'm excited to bring that same dedicated, high-quality care to your pup! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be home and present throughout the day. I am fully available Monday through Friday to provide frequent potty breaks, outdoor playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I also have open weekend availability, ensuring your pup receives consistent care, structured routines, and extra love seven days a week! Whether I am house sitting in your home or hosting your fur baby in mine, your pet's safety and happiness comes first. My home features a secure, fenced backyard and a fun pool for outdoor play. I have friendly dogs who make excellent playmates, but I am also fully prepared to crate separate pups as needed to ensure everyone feels secure and stress-free. I am highly adaptable and happy to stick strictly to your routine!
“Morgan took excellent care of our geriatric cat that needed pills twice a day. She followed our instructions, knew to use a towel to help calm her for pilling when needed, and was able to coax her out of her hiding places. Highly recommend!”
“Kim is our go-to for a reason! We recently had a situation where we needed to extend her services on a day by day basis and she was endlessly accommodating”
About: I absolutely love dogsitting! Growing up without any pets of my own, due to an animal allergy that I have outgrown, getting the opportunity to love on your fur babies has been a dream! I work with in a senior citizen home, but I also have taken care of senior dogs before, administering medications, both orally and through an injection. I love treating your fur babies as one of my own and I am more than glad to do whatever you need to make you the most comfortable with me watching your fur babies. I take loads of pictures, videos, etc.! My job is pretty flexible. I can potty your fur babies in the afternoon, if needed. Upon booking, I can provide you my availability! Just ask me, I am more than welcome to let you know when I can pop in to potty your animals during the day :) I love on them, play with them, make sure their water and food bowl is always full when obviously needed. I make sure they are taken outside as often as they need it.
About: I have taken care of pets for 10+ years and I absolutely love it. I am the go to person with my friends whenever they go out of town. I can’t wait to care for your pet as if they were my own! I am currently working a part time job so i am very flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet! Let me know with any questions you may have. I always make sure i ease into the animals space so that they are comfortable and geeked cared for. I am always cautious of other animals if we are on walks to protect the safety of your pet.
About: As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with years of experience in emergency care, anesthesia monitoring, and animal handling, I’m highly skilled at recognizing animal behavior and providing safe, compassionate care. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments and treat every pet like my own. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to a 16-year-old son, and as his needs have become more independent, I am looking for part-time work to stay engaged, productive, and contribute my skills in a meaningful way. I will provide attentive, reliable in-home care for your pet by maintaining their normal routine, ensuring their safety and comfort, and treating them with the same compassion and respect I would give my own animals.
About: I have grown up with dogs and puppies my whole life. I take my pets to get groomed and to their vet appointments, make them fun treats, walk them, and make sure their needs are fully met. My dogs have grown up kennel trained so I know how important it is to make the kennel a positive space. I also understand that giving dogs human food can make their stomachs upset and keeping them on their regular diet is imperative. I am currently a student at UK and only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. My Wednesdays are full with shadowing at Bluegrass Orthopedics. My Mondays, Fridays, and weekends are free typically. I am not allowed to to have dogs in my home because I currently rent. I am willing to drive them places though. I am willing to bring them to my house for short periods of time under certain circumstances.
“Maggie is so wonderful!! She is incredibly communicative and responsive. She sent so pictures, my mom heart was at such ease. Our fur babies absolutely loved her. She spent such quality time with them and is such a quality person. I would definitely use her services again!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8 years old. I’m comfortable with all breeds, including Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds. I was raised alongside a Pitbull Terrier mix, and later went on to adopt a full blooded Pitbull. Our family had a Boxer mix for 13 years until recently, and she was in very good shape up until the end. I would love to care for your pets as I have cared for mine! When I still had my dogs, I would feed them three times a day and give them medicine up to five times a day. If they had a little too much energy, I would play with them until they were tired out. I would let them outside as often as they needed, even if they just wanted to lay out there (when the weather is nice, of course). I cared for my dogs by paying attention to their body language and vocalizations. Often times, what they needed is something simple, like to go outside or when they were ready to eat, but on rare occasions they’d act a little unusual and that was when I’d take them into the vet’s office. I always made sure my dogs were in the best health possible.
About: I have recently relocated to Lexington KY and am looking to expand my business here. I will treat your pet as if they were mine. Available most of the day; just let me know in advance I could bathe and socialize them. I will take them to the dog park or walk them with my other dog walk clients (if you want) I can hike with your dog or run with them. Or just relax and chill. I am very loving and sweet. I have grown up with dogs and adore them with my heart. I have two dogs currently. One is my own service dog. I love dogs and everything about them. I work from home, so I am very flexible. I have an open heart to please your dog. I like to hike at least once a week and have lots of play and relaxation. And of course walks daily. I have a fenced yard, toys, treats, and more available for your pup. I will respect your wishes in your house of how to handle your dog.
“Anna is such a conscientious pet sitter. She is prompt, communicates well, and cares about my dog. Oliver threw up while she was visiting, and she reached out immediately and didn't leave until I could get home. I appreciate her knowledge of the potential issues and willingness to do what was best for him.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve helped my friend with everything from daily walks to overnight stays, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I’m patient with shy dogs, gentle with seniors, and playful with energetic pups. I follow feeding schedules closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention. Whether it’s a calm walk, fetch in the yard, or quiet cuddle time, I adjust to whatever your dog needs. I also provide frequent photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for with love, respect, and the same attention I would give my own. I’m currently a graduate student with a very flexible schedule. I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to check in on pets frequently and keep their routine consistent. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care every day. I take safety very seriously and always follow your instructions exactly—whether it’s feeding, litter care, medication, or keeping doors secured. I’m calm, patient, and respectful of each pet’s space, especially shy or anxious animals. In your home, I make sure everything stays clean and comfortable, and I send frequent photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet with the same care and kindness I give my own.
About: My first job was working at a vet clinic with dogs and 20 years later I’m still passionate about what I do! I am a certified pet care technician with a lifetime of experience working with dogs. Also pet CPR certified. I have a dog grooming area on-site at home as well. Can sent text and photo updates. Professional, experienced, and I love dogs. I Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work with dog rescue and dedicate my life to dogs bc it's what I love! I am a current member of APDT Association of professional dog trainers, working towards my dog training certification. I love all breeds but I especially love working with bully breeds. Many boarding facilities do not allow these breeds of dog. Most are just big cuddle bugs, and I am happy to oblige!
About: Hi! I’m Anne, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I grew up on a farm in Brazil surrounded by animals, so caring for them has always been a natural and important part of my life. I currently have a five-year-old Miniature Schnauzer named Pimpo, who is truly part of my family. Because I work from home, I am able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I normally take my dog outside for three to four walks each day, and I would be happy to follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I can also provide regular photos and updates for your peace of mind. I work from home, so I am available throughout the day to give the dogs plenty of attention and care. I walk my own dog three to four times a day, and your dog will be included in our daily walks and routine. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, supervise the dogs, keep fresh water available, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure.
“Abby was very kind and attentive to our pups. She made sure to contact us with any information regarding them that she felt we needed to know. Will for sure be a repeat client of hers.”
“We were in a last minute bind and thankfully, we came across Lorrie here on the Rover app. Lorrie was able to quickly bond and take great care of our energetic bulldog, Maverick. Her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond making sure he was well-cared for. Highly Recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Nicholasville is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 805 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Nicholasville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
