“Hannah did an outstanding job watching my dogs at my home for a couple nights. Her communication and updates throughout her stay were outstanding. She went up and beyond to make sure the house was in better shape than when it was left. My dog’s really enjoyed her. I would definitely recommend Hannah.”
“This was our first experience with Cassidy and we are very happy with her. She sent plenty of photos of Buddy, took him out for walks and took good care of him. Buddy seemed very happy to be with her. Her communication throughout the process was always very prompt. We will definitely use her help again and wholeheartedly recommend her!”
“Casey did a wonderful job taking care of Murphy!! She communicates very well and sent great pics of our girl to send while we were away! We will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!”
About: I've helped take care of dogs for friends and family since I graduated from college in 2016. I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury, and apprenticing to become a dog trainer. I have multiple friends that train dogs professionally, my personal dog sees multiple trainers regularly, and I learn new things every day. From obedience to behavior to nutrition, I value all of the practical use, knowledge, and love I can apply to any dog I get the opportunity to work with! I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury. I have a lot of free time now, and I've started to fill it by gaining as much knowledge and practice in professional pet and sport training for dogs and cats. Rover is a way I may be able to help out my community by applying everything I'm learning for pets and people that need someone that cares about their animals the way I've cared about animals my whole life. At home, I have two lovely house cats and one rambunctious puppy. My cats like their space and will ask for love when they want it. My puppy needs structure in his day to balance activity, learning, enrichment, and rest. I am more than comfortable providing the kind of care any client wants for their furry family members. Whether that's daily enrichment, getting out in the world, or learning an off switch at home. I'm familiar with excited jumping on guests and earning trust from nervous or shy animals. I have Ruffland crash tested kennels in my car and can provide enrichment and new adventures if requested! If you don't have a fenced area around your home, and you are comfortable with it, I do have 20ft long lines I can use so the dogs get a chance to be outside to play and do their business while also ensuring their safety. I've always been an animal lover, and now that I have free time in my life, I want to provide knowledge and time for other animals and their humans that need a helping hand.
“Kayla was great! We came home to happy pups! She was very communicative and helpful with our senior dog and of course our crazy Frenchie Winston! She left our home tidy which isn’t always the case with house-sitters. We will definitely ask Kayla to watch our boys again!”
“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a little girl, I’ve grown up multiple family pets and have watched dogs for family and friends when they are out of town. I am also a proud owner of an extremely playful miniature Bernedoodle. I love getting to meet and spend time with new furry friends and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am currently working a part time job and caring for my own snuggle buddy, Therefore I will have flexible availability throughout the weekdays and the weekends. Holidays included. I have one friendly dog that would love to keep your fur baby company if wanted. As well as transportation and any needed doggy supplies!
About: I’ve been caring for pets from a very young age! I currently have 2 of my own. I adore animals and would love the chance to take care of yours! I go to school and work 3 days a week! However I will always be available fridays, Saturday, Sundays after 4:30, and most other days after 4:30! I can also do morning check ins before 9 typically! I will always introduce myself very calmly and extend my hand to say hello in a non threatening way! I always want your pets to be comfortable with me. I will also do anything extra the animal needs to make it feel safe and loved.
“Melissa took wonderful care of our dogs over the weekend! She came and stayed with them, and she sent so many cute pictures and videos. She was super communicative, too - we will definitely work with her again!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a background in doggy daycare services, veterinary medicine, and professional animal care. I worked as a veterinary technician for 3 years and as a zookeeper for 3 years, giving me experience caring for animals with a wide variety of personalities, needs, and temperaments. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, and I’m attentive to changes in an animal’s behavior or health. Our home is shared by our two friendly medium-sized dogs, Allie and Eury, who are great with other pets. We also have three cats and a bearded dragon, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and managing a multi-pet household. Whether your pet needs extra patience, medication, exercise, or simply lots of attention and love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of our own. Monday–Sunday: I work part-time in office and work from home the remainder of the time, so I’m available any day of the week and offer boarding in our home for dogs and cats, including puppies and senior pets. We have a large, fully fenced backyard that is just under half an acre, giving dogs plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and exercise. We’re happy to follow your pet’s normal household rules and routines while they’re staying with us. If your pet isn’t allowed on furniture at home, we’ll respect that! Our own dogs are allowed on the furniture, but we’ll maintain whatever boundaries you have established for your pet. We can also provide kennels if your pet is crate trained or prefers a kennel for sleeping, eating, or downtime. Because we have young children in our home, boarding pets must be comfortable around young children. I’m happy to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, quirks, and individual needs before their stay so I can help them feel comfortable and safe.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I have always owned at least one cat and one dog at the same time, and I currently have two dogs and one cat, including giving medicine. All of my animals have been rescue pets with different needs and challenges. I have also helped to raise a litter of puppies alongside my neighbor who fostered them, volunteered at BARCS and provided help to my neighbors, friends and family with their pets. I am currently interning part time, so I have a lot of flexibility and time to care for your pets on both weekdays and weekends. I have experience with walking dogs, playing with dogs in a fenced in area, as well as working with animals who are crated or have to follow specific routines.
About: - There has never been a point in my life where I did not have a dog and a cat as a pet, so I have been surrounded by them for as long as I can remember. - I moved out of my parents house and now I don’t have a dog of my own. I honestly just need to be around some dogs because they just make me so happy. So, that’s another reason I want to start pet sitting in Lexington! - I am obsessed with dogs and cats because they are so cute and lovable. - I've dog-sat and cat-sat before and loved it. I have work during the day, but am available after 5pm and all day on the weekends. I can stop by before work, during my lunch, and anytime after I get off. I can also work from home if needed if your pet requires more frequent walks / check ins. I am very flexible, so whenever I am needed, I can most likely be there. I am able to do whatever is needed. I am totally a dog and cat person so I will be very happy just being in the presence of either. I can take them on several walks, show them love, cuddle with them and play with them.

“Caitlin was wonderful with my girls. She watched them over the 4th of July and spent all evening comforting them since they are terribly afraid of fireworks. The pups were super comfortable when I got home. I will absolutely be booking again.”

About: I truly love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're my own. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, lots of playtime, or just wants someone to cuddle with, I'm happy to provide the care they're most comfortable with. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions to make sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and safe while you're away! I am currently home full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! My house has a large back yard that’s perfect for dogs to play and run around in! It’s not fenced in but I’m very active and am happy to run around with your dog on a leash! We have one dog at our house who is smaller, but gets along and plays with other dogs very well. My dog gets excited and barks when he sees other dogs, but will calm down after a couple of minutes. My family and I are all pet lovers and they have had a lot of experience with pets as well. I also go on run and walks daily and would be happy to take your dog or pet along with me!

The average cost of House Sitting in Pinckard is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $41 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pinckard walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pinckard maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pinckard choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
