Highly-rated overnight sitters - Burgin
“We are so impressed with Kathryn and so grateful for her taking great care of our babies for the weekend!! She was attentive and caring, and our boys had such a great time playing in her yard. We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and would recommend her to anyone needing their dogs cared for!!”
“Sandra is the best! She takes excellent care of Barnaby, and always sends pictures and updates. We had some issues trying to get back to him and ended up not getting back until way after we planned on, but she was very understanding and happy to care for him longer.”
“Erin was fantastic! She sent pictures and updated me and it was obvious Dudley was having a great time. My flight was delayed and she was completely understanding and happy to keep Dudley a few extra hours. I definitely plan to re-book with Erin! Highly recommended.”
“Clarissa and her family were so welcoming to Dexter. There doggie was as layed back as mine is. Just a few smells of each other and both went on their way. Dex had all the loves and cuddles he needed. Even their adorable children were obviously pet lovers. Dexter will be visiting again for certain.”
“Once again Kelsey was amazing! She takes the best care of our girl! She took her to the pet store and bought her a new stuffed animal and a treat. Kelsey is very responsive and sends updates.”
“Maggie is sweet! Our dog seemed to have a great time with her, her dog, and cats. Her dog took a bit of time to warm up to our dog, but it seemed they became good friends shortly thereafter.”
“Jason and his sweet family took care of our golden retriever as if she were their own. We were so grateful to have them take her on walks, take pictures, and let her play with their pup. Thank you, Jason! We'll be back!”
“Haley made me feel so safe leaving my dog with a stranger. I was updated with pictures and activity through the day and it made it so relieving.”
“Laura was really great and he was super happy when I picked him up. She consistently sent me status and photos of him. She also really enjoyed having him there and that means the world to me. I will always want him to be there first.”
“Thank you Nancy for taking care of our baby as we swung through town! We felt very comfortable leaving him at your beautiful farm and it was clear when we picked him up he was very happy.”
“I can’t explain how much of a relief it was to find Allison before a long trip out of state! I was nervous about sending our 2 dogs to someone new, but Allison went above and beyond for everything. We did a meet and greet at her house and she took detailed notes of any info I gave her. She sent daily pictures & sometimes video updates of our boys playing and snuggling with her, her husband and their dog, and taking them to the dog park. When we got home later than expected they were super kind and understanding. Our dogs clearly had a BLAST and came home very happy and healthy! I’m so happy to have doggie sitter friends nearby that I trust now!!”
“Angela was SUPER responsive and sweet with my dog! I ended up needing help 2 days before I was supposed to to out of town for the weekend and Angela was very quick to respond and help! I felt 100% comfortable leaving Charli with her and will absolutely be trusting her to watch Charli again!”
“This was an extended stay with Laura with my older girl as well as my spunky young boy. They absolutely adore her and she's so great at communicating and giving updates. She really made it easy being away for the first time in a year. She also was super responsive when I gave her some updates from the vet and super flexible with pickup and drop off time. I'm really glad we connected and my fur pups have a home away from home.”
“Megan was great!! She sent regular updates and sent lots of pictures. Bella fit right in with her crew of dogs. I highly recommend if needed a pet sitter!”
“Lauren is great and I highly recommend booking her! I was nervous about leaving my dog for vacation since I had just moved and Lauren was very sympathetic. My dog loved her dog and settled right in. Lauren communicated with me and sent videos and photos of my dog having a blast. I will definitely be booking Lauren again!”

Cat caregivers near you - Burgin
About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life—both indoor and outdoor—so I know how to read their moods and keep them happy. I’ve also gained hands-on experience working at a humane society and a veterinarian’s office, giving me confidence in feeding, administering medication, and spotting health concerns. I love making sure every cat feels safe, loved, and well cared for—from playtime to keeping their litter box sparkling clean. Your furry family members will be in caring hands!
“Sandra took really good care of our furry kids while we were gone for a week on vacation. So good to have somebody we can trust to come at the times requested and does everything our cats needed!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Kayla def made it easy for me. I got lots of pictures daily and she made sure to follow all the instructions. Thanks for making it a peaceful holiday trip away for me!”
About: I've taken care of cats my whole life. I have a cat of my own named motzie! I do have 2 dogs as well in my home. They are cat lovers as well! I look forward to meeting and taking great care of your precious pet!
“Dyanne was amazing house sitting our 3 cats and outside cats! She kept in touch morning and evening, sent pictures, and gave our senior cat her meds. Very professional, and would recommend her!”
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!!
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: I’ve fostered many cats and kittens growing up, so I’m very familiar with feline behavior, from curious kittens to more reserved or senior cats. I’m comfortable with everything from bottle-feeding babies to administering medications and giving extra TLC to shy or older cats. I understand how important it is to keep litter boxes clean, feeding schedules consistent, and routines calm—especially for cats who are sensitive to changes in their environment. My goal is always to make your cat feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away.
“Tayler was incredible! She was so sweet and very caring to my two dogs and one cat. She was prompt and followed all the care instructions very well. Tayler also took and shared with us so amazing pictures! I loved seeing these updates and hearing how the animals were doing while we were away!”
“Yadieris was awesome!. She kept me informed about my cats activities and tried really hard to connect with my “not so kind” cat!! I would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: Throughout most of my life my family has had cats. For a long time when I moved to the country, we only had one cat that was outside most of the time, his name was Henry and he was so sweet. However, after he passed, we adopted two beautiful baby kittens a few months later, Teddy and June! Me and my siblings helped raise those tiny kittens to the big beautiful fur balls they are now and they are the most loving and sweetest cats we have ever had for our family. I also help take care of cats through the humane society at my job at Petsense, I do my best to visit the local humane societies as often as I can to love on all the kitty babies. Cats are beautiful creatures and I truly love every single one I meet, I want to take care of each of them as best I am able. ❤️ I am very clean and make sure that when I am cleaning their space (litter box, play toys, etc.) I do a good job so they can be comfortable. They deserve the best care!
About: While I haven’t owned a cat myself, I’ve spent plenty of time caring for the cats of friends and my girlfriend. I’m comfortable feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and giving them space when they want it. I also enjoy visiting cat cafés and spending time with cats whenever I get the chance, so I’m familiar with their different personalities and know that every cat has their own comfort level.
“I feel totally comfortable having our cat Sunny board with Glenn and Terrill. Things are done exactly as requested. I got daily pics and updates. I will definitely book with them again!”
About: I grew up with a family who always rescued cats or adopted. My sister has a cat & my parents have one while I have my own beautiful Julep. Julep showed me how to give any where from antibiotics to daily medication pills. Litter box wise, I am familiar with a standard box, to a robotic litter box. Taking care of cats is a second nature to me since I am constantly doing it for friends & family.
About: I've had at least four dogs as long as I can remember. As a child, they were my first companions and my second caretakers. Even as I grew into an adult, they were always there to comfort me and to brighten the darkest of days. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I am eager to give back what they so willingly give; love, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and joy. In the last two years, I have gone from four dogs to one, due to Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure, and I must admit that their absence has affected me deeply. I miss them so so so much!! I'm one of those people that celebrated their dog's birthdays and bought them copious presents for Christmas. While my friends were pulling out their family pics, I was always pulling out my dog pics. I share this same sentiment towards birds, rabbits, and cats; all of which I had growing up. Being surrounded by animals as a child was a great experience. It even prompted me to volunteer at the ASPCA for almost a year. As I hope you can tell, I will not only provide what your pet needs to survive, but I will also provide him/her with special attention and love. I look forward to meeting with both you and your pet! Until then, take care! I will be able to fulfill any house/pet sitting duties without any issues, as I am able to balance my obligations responsibly and with respect to myself and those that hire me. While pet/house sitting, I will abide the rules given to me. This could include when they play, where they sleep, any medications needed, when to eat, etc.
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.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life! I love animals and enjoy meeting new ones! I currently have an Aussie/Collie mix that keeps me busy! I walk my dog twice a day, and work remote! I have plenty of time to care for other animals because my schedule is flexible! I am good at listening to details, and will always treat your animals and space with respect! I am good with check ins and boarding!

“Andrew and his family were amazing sitters. The responsiveness and communication was off the charts. My dog is typically afraid but with Andrew, she quickly became acclimated and comfortable. I was able to see my pet throughout her stay with Andrew in pictures and videos. She appeared to be so happy getting exercise and exploring with his daughter. Do not hesitate to book Andrew! He is such an outstanding sitter and I would recommend him to anyone in the area for their pet.”

About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love!

We will definitely use her again as a pet sitter. Added bonus- she has a super sweet dog of her own that kept our dog great company 😁”
About: After experiencing the tragic loss of my own cats due to a negligent pet sitter, I became deeply committed to providing the highest level of care for all animals. That experience taught me how vital it is to entrust pets to someone who not only understands their needs but treats them like family. I specialize in senior pet care, offering compassionate support for aging pets, including administering medications, managing health conditions, and providing gentle, tailored exercise routines. I also have experience training puppies, helping them develop good behaviors early on and ensuring they have the structure they need to thrive. My focus is always on building trust and creating a safe, loving environment for your pets, so they feel comfortable and secure when you're away. Above all, I aim to offer peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their animals are in caring, responsible hands. Available almost anytime in Lexington and surrounding areas contact in advance is recommended but we can take last-minute calls depending on the situation and what not. Also I work with you budget! I have a park near me and I do take my own dog to the dog park every chance I get via Lyft and plenty of toys for your fur babies!
“Sable had another wonderful, exciting, yet relaxing time with Jason, Brooke, their entire family, and their dog Toby. Thank you, Rover.com, and a special thanks to Jason and Brooke for your loving care of Sable. God bless you all!”

About: My name is Vivi (she/her)! I have been watching, sitting and walking dogs for over four years. I have a keen sense of animal personality and behaviour and have always enjoyed being around them. I've been known by many as *the* dog whisperer--you're in excellent hands here! I live with my friends downtown, but return to my parents house for dog care. Someone's always home for bookings. I work on my own projects between interacting with dogs, and I can take a break at any time. I have a karate class on Mondays and Thursdays, during which I hand off work to one of my parents for just a bit. Your pets are always in good hands here! I believe in being careful with pets and that they should be comfortable with their environment. The best interactions come from mutual trust between pet and caretaker.
“She did great with my pup. My pup took a surprise trip to her parents house and went on a walk with their pup! My pup was all worn out at the end of the day!”
“Nathan did a great job! Great communication and I appreciate how he asked a few extra questions when I first dropped my pup off to make sure he took care of him well. Pup returned happy! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. Throughout my childhood I’ve had dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, parrots and fish in all stages of life. I’ve learned to cater to every need because of this, as every pet needs something specific to their age, size and personality. I can handle pets of all sizes and energy levels, and will treat each just as I would one of my own. I’m a full-time college student home for Summer break, and I have a very open schedule that I would love to fill surrounded by fur babies. I’d like to make pet sitting my full-time job for the season, so I have lots of flexibility and availability. I have a large fully fenced in back yard and live in close proximity to a dog park. I currently have one of my own super friendly dogs at home, and I have plenty of space to welcome yours, and/or separate them comfortably if needed for whatever reason.

We would take your dog on a walk or let him romp around the yard. We do have a cat named Eleanor and kids, so it is important that your furry friend be comfortable around cats and children.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Burgin
About: I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, and livestock—was part of everyday life. I have 5+ years of experience raising dogs and 3 years working in a dog boarding facility, caring for multiple dogs with different needs, routines, and temperaments. I also worked for a veterinarian, gaining experience with safe handling, health awareness, and attentive care. In addition, I have 3 years of experience training puppies starting as young as 3 days old, focusing on early socialization, routine building, and positive reinforcement. Whether I’m caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, cats, or farm animals, I provide dependable, loving, and detail-oriented care. I treat every animal like family and prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I am a full time chiropractic student, so I will have time in the early morning and late evening on weekdays. I will also be available all day during the weekends! I care for pets by following their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, medications, and preferences. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. Safety and comfort are always my priorities, and I closely monitor behavior and health. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, cats, and farm animals, and I adjust my care to fit each pet. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while away.

“Lindsay is very reliable. She arrives on time, walks and plays ball with my dog and is responsible for locking up as she leaves. I definitely recommend Lindsay for caring for your pet.”
About: I’ve raised and trained working dog breeds, including cattle dogs, so I understand the importance of mental stimulation, exercise, and structure. My experience includes obedience training, handling high-energy dogs, and managing multiple pets.

“Allie was amazing to have with our animals while we were away! She came to meet them beforehand and was extremely organized and flexible. Allie provided updates throughout and was extremely helpful! Hoping we can book her again!!!”
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: I have been raised around animals and pets(livestock, dogs, cats, birds, etc.) ever since I could remember. I lived in a farm town with a wide variety of animals. My mother also owned a boarding and grooming facility that I was raised at feeding, watering, and walking the animals. I’m a senior at Lindsey Wilson University, I graduate in December ‘26. During the summer, May 19th through August 25th I’ll be available! After August 25th, I will still be available. However, I do need to be on campus in Columbia, KY every Tuesday & Thursday from 8am-12:30pm Central Time. I would love to come spend some time with your pet! Please reach out with any questions! I have had two dogs in my lifetime that were my sole responsibility. I have had one cat that I shared with my mother. I love to play fetch with my own pup and go on hikes with him as well. I had a lop-eared bunny I rescued as well, during my move to Kentucky I had to give him to my best friend.
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.

“Sloane is an absolute gem. She is conscientious, dedicated, and thorough. She takes care of our basket-case of a rescue dog several times per week and has been our savior from the ridiculousness of his unending energy and anxiety while we’re away. Her report cards are filled with humor and have us laughing out loud every time. Cannot recommend her enough!”

I can drop in to let the pooch out, or stay and let them get some energy out:) I am a great rule follower! If you have special instructions I will be sure to follow them closely. With having years and years of experience not only pet sitting, but fostering, and even owning my own dog, I can problem solve lots of the time aswell!!

In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep doors secured, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and fresh water. I also like to send updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

I can also bathe, feed, and make sure your pet has the best care. I am currently available to take care of your pet when I do have my days off, I will start substitute teaching soon so this could potentially affect my daytime availability. I have worked part-time at Petsense and I currently work at Tractor Supply, but I will work around my schedule at any point to try and help you with your fur babies! Personally, I treat my dog like he is my baby because he's part of my family. I love him very much and love to sit and play with him, give him snuggles, and take him with me on walks because I simply love being in the presence of animals. They make me so happy, and I do what I can to make sure your animals are happy and taken care of too. They deserve it!
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.

“We are so impressed with Kathryn and so grateful for her taking great care of our babies for the weekend!! She was attentive and caring, and our boys had such a great time playing in her yard. We will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future and would recommend her to anyone needing their dogs cared for!!”
“Sandra is the best! She takes excellent care of Barnaby, and always sends pictures and updates. We had some issues trying to get back to him and ended up not getting back until way after we planned on, but she was very understanding and happy to care for him longer.”
“Erin was fantastic! She sent pictures and updated me and it was obvious Dudley was having a great time. My flight was delayed and she was completely understanding and happy to keep Dudley a few extra hours. I definitely plan to re-book with Erin! Highly recommended.”
“Once again Kelsey was amazing! She takes the best care of our girl! She took her to the pet store and bought her a new stuffed animal and a treat. Kelsey is very responsive and sends updates.”
“Jason and his sweet family took care of our golden retriever as if she were their own. We were so grateful to have them take her on walks, take pictures, and let her play with their pup. Thank you, Jason! We'll be back!”
“Laura was really great and he was super happy when I picked him up. She consistently sent me status and photos of him. She also really enjoyed having him there and that means the world to me. I will always want him to be there first.”
“Thank you Nancy for taking care of our baby as we swung through town! We felt very comfortable leaving him at your beautiful farm and it was clear when we picked him up he was very happy.”
“I can’t explain how much of a relief it was to find Allison before a long trip out of state! I was nervous about sending our 2 dogs to someone new, but Allison went above and beyond for everything. We did a meet and greet at her house and she took detailed notes of any info I gave her. She sent daily pictures & sometimes video updates of our boys playing and snuggling with her, her husband and their dog, and taking them to the dog park. When we got home later than expected they were super kind and understanding. Our dogs clearly had a BLAST and came home very happy and healthy! I’m so happy to have doggie sitter friends nearby that I trust now!!”
“Angela was SUPER responsive and sweet with my dog! I ended up needing help 2 days before I was supposed to to out of town for the weekend and Angela was very quick to respond and help! I felt 100% comfortable leaving Charli with her and will absolutely be trusting her to watch Charli again!”
“This was an extended stay with Laura with my older girl as well as my spunky young boy. They absolutely adore her and she's so great at communicating and giving updates. She really made it easy being away for the first time in a year. She also was super responsive when I gave her some updates from the vet and super flexible with pickup and drop off time. I'm really glad we connected and my fur pups have a home away from home.”
“Lauren is great and I highly recommend booking her! I was nervous about leaving my dog for vacation since I had just moved and Lauren was very sympathetic. My dog loved her dog and settled right in. Lauren communicated with me and sent videos and photos of my dog having a blast. I will definitely be booking Lauren again!”
“Jennifer was so great! She provided regular updates and best of all great pics of Jessie and her playmates. This was Jessie’s first time from the family members. I was a little concerned at first about how Jessie would react. My fears were quickly erased and I now know Jennifer provides a great atmosphere for Jessie to deal with her separation from her family. I would greatly recommend Jennifer and will use her every time we need a sitter for Jessie! She earned and deserves a five star rating.”
“Glenn was great! He was very open to whatever times we needed to drop off and pick up. When I picked my Sammie up, she was happy and excited. He sent pictures every day and I really appreciated that. She seemed so at home and comfortable!”
About: I’ve owned multiple disabled dogs and can care for them. I’m also experienced in giving medicine to animals that may need it. grew up around a lot of different animals and I love spending time with new animals and seeing all the different dog and cat breeds. 😁 I stay at home and my schedule is very flexible, so the fur babies will get plenty of attention and love! They will always have me with them for some company and play time. For my personal comfort and safety, I currently book pet care with female clients only. Thank you for understanding! I can take care of pets in any way that their pet owner would like. I don’t have many rules and would just like for the fur babies to be comfortable in the new environment!
“Went well, my pup seems happy and well taken care of. A little hard to communicate, but they were flexible with my pickup and drop off times. They took him to the dog park and on multiple walks.”
“My dog really enjoyed his time and was well taken care of when I had to book a Rover on short notice. Received many photos and Maria was very good about reaching out in a timely manner with any questions or concerns!”
