“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”

“My dog, Bear had a great time at Emily’s house. She was accommodating with my schedule and took great care of him. She sent pictures and videos. I will definitely request her again. She was amazing!”

“Voss did a great job with my dog!! She was happy when I picked her up and not stressed at all! You can tell Voss loves animals and takes pride in taking good care of them. Will definitely use Voss again!”

“Leaving my pup with someone was not an easy choice. He’s my Covid buddy so we are attached at the hip. However, if I ever need to leave my sweet boy again I will leave him with Ashtin and Jenison. They have him so much love and gave me just as many pictures! If you’re hesitant and need someone to watch your bundle of fur. Chose Ashtin and Jenison”

“Excellent people who are dog lovers that took great care of my girl. Sent pictures and videos and I had great piece of mind on my trip. Will book with Allison again!”

“Ann does such a great job! She cared for my senior dog who has seizures and went above and beyond for her. I’ve used four other Rover sitters in Lexington and we will be staying with Ann.”

“Brent is a good person and a great dog sitter. Maple and Mozzie's (Brent's dog) first meeting went great. They played very well together. The day we dropped off Maple at Brent's home, he and his wife were very friendly and inviting with us and our dog Maple. They explained everything involved with Maple's stay and activities in their home. He kept us updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely recommend Brent and Rover to other pet owners.”

“Kelsey did an amazing job taking care of our 4 month old kitten, and addressing her needs. Our kitten was able to socialize with other cats and even a dog! Kelsey updated us with photos and messages very frequently, which was very much appreciated! Kelsey has a significant amount of knowledge on cats, and gives them many opportunities to play and enrich their minds, socially and mentally. Thank you so much for looking after our little baby! I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”


“Tania was awesome. She sent me pics of Jazz enjoying herself. My dog never eats when she’s at the kennel and she ate there right away. I could tell my girl was very well treated! I will definitely use Tania when I’m in town.”
“Martha did such a wonderful job looking after our little Gumbo! There was great communication and she clearly loves and has great experience with taking care of pups! Gumbo was extremely relaxed and happy when we picked him up after a long stay. We are so grateful to have found such a great boarding option!!”

“Valerie and Brian have a peaceful and clean home. They were kind and communicative. I appreciated the pics of our dog during his stay. He gets nervous around other dogs and did very well with their sweet dog Ollie! Wonderful sitters! Highly recommend!”

“Haley was great with our little nervous rescue pup! She sent updates and reassured us that our dog was in good hands. We’ll definitely use Haley again.”

“Many thanks again for the great care that Dana provides! Banjo clearly has a lot of fun with her family - evidenced by being ready for a nap as soon as he got home!”


“Casey was wonderful she was always gives updates on how your dog is and is very welcoming. She also has lots of play dates with other dogs in her backyard and goes on daily walks with them as well overall she took great care of my odie.”

“Nathan is great! He kelp my Pitt Krystee for seven days. Each day he sent videos and pictures of how she was doing! He treated Krystee as if she was his own! I highly recommend Nathan for pet sitting, and will use Nathan again next month when I go out of town again! Thank you Nathan for taking such good care of Krystee!!!”

“Addie is fantastic!! We met her twice before we left town just to be sure things were all set— and our dog loves her. We were flexible about where she stayed with our dog- her house or ours- because we were gone for 16 days. She did everything she could to make sure we were comfortable with her. She sent pictures, responded quickly to texts, and Levi’s know how everything was going. Additionally, Addie is a genuinely nice person who is driven in her work as a dancer. We were very impressed with her. We are looking forward to many more trips, knowing our dog is safe and well loved in our absence.”

“We have used Candice 3 times now, and soon a 4th. She is amazing, loving, our dog just walks right in like he's at home. It's a great feeling to not have to worry about our pet while we are away, and not have to deal with any kennel cough or other maladies upon return! Highly recommend.”

“This was my second time having Kath and Jordan watch Duncan and I have nothing but great things to say! He loves it there and they make him feel super comfortable being away from home. They do a great job with sending me photos so I know he’s doing well. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!”

Nathan did so great with my dog, and was so helpful and flexible last minute. He sent me so many pictures and videos, and my dog came back happy and clearly well cared for. I would definitely bring Cheese back to him again next time I need someone to watch him. Thank you so much!

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 can’t say enough good things about Maria. She was incredibly attentive and communicative throughout the Fiona’s entire stay, sending daily updates, often twice a day along with plenty of photos and videos that truly put my mind at ease. It was clear from the start how much she genuinely cares, and that level of thoughtfulness made all the difference. When I unexpectedly missed my flight, she went above and beyond to accommodate me. She was able to keep her one more night and even extended her pickup time without hesitation, which was such a relief during a stressful situation. Her flexibility, kindness, and reliability were outstanding. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your pet like their own.

Allison and Dio were absolutely amazing!!! They took care of my sweet little Casper for over a week and a half during the Thanksgiving holidays while we were out of town. Casper enjoyed his day with Allison and her family! He had so many cuddles and treats, it was hard for him to come back to us. Thank you for taking good care of our little monster over the holidays.

This was our first time boarding our puppy, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our pup came home happy and exhausted from running around the backyard & playing with Bry's dog. Bry was flexible with us and quickly responded to all communications. I highly recommend Bry and would definitely book with them again!

Ava did a phenomenal job caring for my two pups, Trooper & Shaiya. We scheduled a meet and greet the evening before boarding and Ava kindly came to my residence to meet the dogs and ensure everything would work well with her dog as well. My dogs are young (8 and 6 months), and have a lot of play energy. Ava did a great job caring for them and provided me with pictures/videos along the way. Given her success with this challenge, I'm highly confident she will take excellent care of your dog as well! 10/10 recommend!

So grateful to have Crystal as our sitter here in Lexington. Beta always has a wonderful time with her and I always get updates during her stay. Recently I had a flight that got canceled and was able to communicate with Crystal for a later pick up. She is very accommodating and will love on your fur baby as if it’s her own. I highly recommend her!
