“Megan S. was fabulous! She kept me informed, sent pictures and my Billie just loved her. I will definitely specifically request her again the next time I need a sitter. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been around and cared for all different sorts of dogs since I can remember. I’ve owned a pit bull, Dalmatians, boxers, labs etc! I’m great at keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to each pet’s routine. I’m responsible and attentive to every animal I care for to make sure there as comfortable as can be while being away from their owners. I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and love I’d want for my own. Im currently only working part time hours so i have plenty of availability to spend quality time with any pet I will be boarding, sitting or walking! I live in an apartment with my fiance not too far from shillito park so while I don’t have a backyard shillito park is a short walk away and one of my favorite places to go for walks.
About: I’ve grown up around cats and dogs all my life and I will make it my mission to be your pets favorite human. I most certainly will talk in a baby voice to them :) As a UofK student, my availability includes Mondays and Wednesdays (before 1 PM and after 5 PM), Fridays (before 1 PM), Saturdays (before 5 PM), and all day Sundays. I'm happy to work with your schedule! I currently have 2 cats at home! There’s a mostly fenced in backyard and a wonderful neighborhood with a park so your pet can enjoy walks!
“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!”
“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!”
About: Hi, my name is John and I have loved and cared for dogs and cats since I was 15. I've had several rescue dogs since 2011, including a tri-paw Belgian Melanois, who passed away in 2019. I currently live with Max, a beagle rescue. I mostly work from home so will be with your dog all day. I'll take your dog and my dog Max on a minimum of four walks during the day in downtown Lexington. I'll provide attention and care for your dog. There are are plenty of green space during our walks. Safety, wellness, and happiness for any dog under my care is priority. I would like to schedule a meet and greet to gather as much information as possible about your dog and to see how your dog does with Max.
“Kim was excellent! She stayed in communication and was prompt getting back to me. Most importantly, my two cats were well taken care of! Everything was in order when I got home and my cats are happy. I'll definitely use Kim again and would recommend her to others.”
About: I volunteer at both a dog and a cat shelter! In addition, I have pet sat for friends and family since I was young. I have animals of my own and understand the importance of our pets comfort and health. I’m currently working part-time and I’m out for summer break so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I am available throughout the week besides Friday and Saturday from 3-10pm. I give attentive, personalized care in my clients' homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment! I ensure to follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, water, walks, playtime, exercise, medication administration (if needed), and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind if desired. My focus is on providing reliable, one on one care fit for each pet's needs.
About: I enjoy spending time with animals, so there is always a guarantee that your pet will enjoy some quality time whether I am just playing with them and giving them a potty break, feeding them, or walking them! I have taken care of many people's pets before including older dogs, adolescent dogs, puppies, cats, fish, and more! I have a special place in my heart for animals, and I have a dog of my own, Ray, who is my best bud! I know how much pets can mean to us and impact our lives, and I know how important it is for people to know that their pets are well taken care of! I also know how much we miss our pets when we are away, even if it is for the day, so I am willing to go the extra mile to pamper your pet and do any extra things that will make you as the owner feel more comfortable with me caring for them! In the summer I have a free schedule! Other times my availability depends on the week. I can be flexible to meet your pets’ needs. I will treat your pets, like my own, like family! I am happy to implement any sorts of structure or training that you are doing with your pet to keep things consistent. I understand the importance of not only physically stimulating your dog, but also mentally with different types of enrichment.
“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 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.

I am also available during select hours on Tuesday-Thursday, but please message me before hand as I am working around my student schedule. Trust is important with pets! I always make sure to monitor body language and allow them to take as much time as they need to greet. I also ensure they remain comfortable throughout a visit!
About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over a decade. I am comfortable with all ages of animals and can administer medication, as needed. Comfortable walking a variety of sizes and ages with a collar or harness. Most of my dogsitting experience has been with senior dogs so I am happy to accommodate their special needs. I work full time but have a remote position, allowing for dog and cat sitting at guest’s house - and I’ll be home all day! I am also available for walks and drop ins. I will follow all instructions, as presented. Whatever your pet’s personal quirks may be, I’m ready to meet their needs. I am happy to maintain their normal routine.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pinckard is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 798 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pinckard. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pinckard. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
