“My favorite sitter in Lexington! Couldn’t recommend her enough. She sent me videos and photos everyday, and my dog looked so happy! He got to play with other dogs, and in their fenced in yard. So so communicative and helpful. I will be using her every chance I get.”
“Ana was great with my Maltese/shih Tzu. This is the first time she’s stayed with anyone more than two days, so we (me & dog) were both a little nervous for this weeklong stay. But Ana sent me a picture and video so I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. I’ll definitely use her again. Very pleased!”
“Emily and her husband were so nice and were perfect for my dog, Cassie. I got updates daily about her play and how she was doing along with pictures and videos. Their home is spacious, has a fenced in (good sized) backyard with lots of room for playtime! My girl did great with her dogs who were also very good hosts. I am already in talks with Emily about watching my girl again in a few months for our next trip. Highly recommend.”
“Our furbaby had the best of the best! Felt secure & safe leaving our baby with Glenn while we were gone for a week in Florida. He sent photos & was always quick to respond if we wanted to check in. We did not have to worry at all! Mysti says she had a fabulous time!! Would definitely recommend!! ???”
“Absolutely amazing. She kept me updated even when I couldn’t respond. She responds very quickly and she’s beyond nice and generous. 10/10 would recommend her. I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else with my dog after leaving him here. Thank you Natasha you’re amazing.”
“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.”
“The pups seem to have had a great time getting spoiled! We got plenty of updates on how they were doing during the stay, which helped immensely! They commonly get upset/stressed with traditional boarding, so this was a great alternative. Would recommend!”
“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!”
“This was my fourth time taking Duncan to Kath & Jordan and as always, they took great care of him! He always looks so happy in the pictures they send me :)”
“We could tell our pup was in good hands with Kelsey. She sent me detailed updates daily and pictures too. Our dog is not the best eater and she worked with her to be sure she ate. She also took our pup for walks and played with her. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our pup while we were away!”
“John was an amazing sitter who kept us updated multiple times a day with pictures and updates, even when we couldn’t be as responsive. He offered Teddy healthy treats on the regular and treated him like his own. Five stars! We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future sitting needs.”
“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.”
“Ann took excellent care of my dog, Max! She ensured that he got plenty of playtime, and sent me plenty of pictures and updates daily. She even surprised me by giving him a good bath! She also kept him an extra night when I got stranded at the airport. She certainly has a passion for caring for dogs.”
“It was very easy leaving the dogs with Nancy during our wedding weekend. She was quick to respond with any questions we had, and it was nice to have the option to have her drop off the dogs after the sit. We will definitely consider using Nancy next time we need help. Thank you”
“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.”
“Kristin and her family were amazing! I had to make a last minute change to my booking. Kristin was very understanding and accommodating! She kept me updated every day and took great care of my pups, I would highly recommend booking her!”

“Sara continues to be lovely and communicative while she watches our cat (despite the cat not liking anyone). I appreciate the live and daily updates knowing things are okay at home.”
“Jessica took good care of my two cats and my kitchen while I was away. She was flexible in returning my key the following day in case my late-night flight was cancelled. She took pictures daily showing that even my shy cat gave her the thumbs up.”
“So glad we found Ariel short notice to do drop one with our kitty! He hates to be boarded and she was great with him, sent us pictures and even brought in our packages. Will definitely be reaching out for our next trip!”
“Layla was very reliable in taking care of my puppy! She responded promptly and helped ease my stress with pictures and a sweet note during her drop in visit. My booking was rather last minute so I appreciate her responding quickly and helping me make sure Juni was taken care of.”
“Rachel took great care of our cat! She was flexible with his needs, followed all care instructions perfectly, and provided lots of play time and pets at every drop-in. Communication with her was easy and prompt. She also was very respectful of our home and kept it tidy. Highly recommend!!”
“Catherine was an exceptional sitter for my cat after we had moved into our new place only a week prior. She gave her lots of attention and cuddles and updated us with tons of pictures. Highly highly recommend.”
“Bree did such a great job looking after my little Karma! She looked happier and more at ease than she ever has compared to when I’ve come back from other trips and I think that says a lot about how she was taken care of. I loved all the daily photos with each check in as well. Thank you, Bree!”
“Kara is always a reliable, compassionate, and thorough caretaker! Our cats truly don’t seem to notice we’re gone and Kara communicates thorough updates with visit notes and photos which is so appreciated!”
“Sarah was so accommodating for a last minute request. She took great photos and you can tell she truly loves working with animals. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky that Morgan visited my puppy. She was very nice, on time, and took great care of my puppy. She also cleaned up his mess, which I really appreciated. Thank you for everything!”
“Emma was absolutely phenomenal! She came for a pre-sitting vibe check to make sure the kitties got on with her and they seemed to like her then. She sat them for 11 days and they seemed to LOVE her! She was great about feeding them, changing litter, topping off water and playing with them. We got daily updates on their activities, demeanor, and “chores” (litter, water), with photos. I will definitely be using Emma again in the future!”
“Addie was great! She took care of my boys, took great pictures of my house, and came in a snow storm! Thank you so much for taking great care of my cats!!”
“Lindsey was great about communicating, agreed to set up a meet and greet and had good availability for that, and took good care of our kitty while we were gone. She was able to handle giving a pill. Thanks, Lindsey!”
“Maya did an amazing job with my two cats. They are full of energy and can play for hours, but she managed to tire them out! She is on top of things, fantastic with animals, and takes super cute photos to send you during her visits!!”

“What a great first experience! My dogs were so happy during their stay. I felt right at home when I dropped them off. Thanks for the updates! Will definitely book again!”
About: I have genuine love for animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve always loved being around them and caring for them with patience and attention. I have experience dog walking, feeding, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I do my best to keep things consistent so they feel relaxed and happy. Im going to be a senior this year at Lexington Christian Academy and have a part time job at the Ymca. Im available during the week 4-10pm. I have a big fenced in yard with a small dog and cat. They are both very friendly towards people and pets. always put pets’ safety and comfort first. I carefully follow pet parents’ instructions and stick to each pet’s routine. Whether in my home or a client’s, I keep the environment calm, clean, and secure, and I closely supervise pets during walks and playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. 🐾
“Ollie had a great time! Brent sent pics and was a great communicator! If we're back in Lexington, we will definitely have Ollie stay here again!”
“Natasha was great! She was quick to communicate, open and easy to work with. She was very responsible and help put an anxious pet parent at ease!! We received updates throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was fantastic again taking care of my pup for daycare. She sent adorable pictures and videos throughout the day and did a report card. She is very reliable and communicative, and I know my pup is loved and safe with her. You can’t put a price on that!”
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.
“Delaney was amazing again! With a last minute request, Rupp had the best time and her pictures were amazing. I love the doggy daycare report card at the end of the day! So fun. She spoils our baby boy!”
“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!”
“Laura did a fantastic job watching my puppy Alma! She watched her for multiple days and each day Alma came home a happy pup. I got a detailed report on the day and felt very secure trusting Alma in her care.”
“Sydney is a great Rover. Quick to respond. Flexible. Good location - near UK campus. Eg. She looked after my dog when we discovered at short notice that we could not take her to an event on campus. Clearly a dog lover - and my dog was comfortable with her.”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of animals as veterinarian tech. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.
“Andrew has been absolutely wonderful with my little Charlie . Andrew is great at keeping open communication with pictures and updates on how the Charlie's daycare is going ..10 out of 10 would recommend.”
“Thank you for helping us out when my dog and I were suffering from a very sudden trouble. I really appreciate it for your keeping my pup from such an early morning and tolerate multiple schedule changes.”
About: Looking for an excited pet sitter with experience living with and caring for fur babies? Look no further! I have lived with and taken care of dogs for much of my life, and I have plenty of experience dog sitting for friends and family. I am able to stay overnight and accommodate any requests you may have for your fur baby - keeping them happy and healthy is the priority! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets during the day! I am available to be present constantly on weekends and after 4:30pm on weekdays, as well. Whatever your schedule, I would be happy to accommodate! I live in an apartment, so I am only able to care for pets in my home for short periods of time (an afternoon or so!). If there are needs in-home while I am pet sitting (any cleaning or house care), I would be happy to take care of that as well!
“This was my first time leaving Millie with anyone other than family and Clarissa made it such a positive experience for us! So grateful for the peace of mind that came from her sending picture updates throughout the day and seeing how happy and comfortable Millie was in her home. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of watching all types of sweet pups from golden doodles to frenchies. I love showering them with love, cuddles, walks, and lots of treats. In my past, I’ve also taken care of a pup with seizure activity where I had to give oral medication daily and administer medication in case of emergency. I can’t wait to love on your furry friends as well! I have just recently graduated from the University of Kentucky and have plenty of time in my weekly schedule to help care for your pets! I do not have any pets in my college home, but I do have a yard for the pets to roam in! I love to watch/walk dogs! And I am happy to help let them out, give them love, and anything else they might need!
“Virginia was great! Excellent communication, loved getting updates with photos, and my dog looked well taken care of when I picked him up. Highly recommend!”
About: I own a plethora of animals and am well versed in all care! I have a pittie mix, 4 cats, and saltwater fish. I make your animals a top priority and treat them like my own! I am self employed so I can accommodate any routine! I welcome drop in visits, over night stays, and at home stays! Open availability through the week. In my home I have a fenced in back yard. I also have a safe neighborhood for walking. In addition, there is a spare bedroom if needed to give your pet its own space.

“Rachel is the first dog walker I’ve ever hired, and my first experience with Rover. She has been exceptional. SO sweet, great at communicating, and timely. She also spent an extra 20-30 minutes walking my dog (after communicating to see if it was ok), trying to track down a bandana that had fallen off. She has been a huge help to my family, and I can’t recommend her enough.”
“We recently booked with Brooke for a recurring weekly walk with our dog, Willow. She has been so great and attentive to our suggestions and also Willow’s needs.”
“Aubrey was great! She took great care of my dog! She is very nice, friendly, and kind! She was great at communicating and always left a detailed description of the walk with lots of pictures!”
“Ariel did a great job with my pets... And was very flexible for my last minute change... Would definitely use her again and highly recommend her”
“Kim is absolutely fantastic! I contacted Kim and asked if she could walk my two dogs for a couple of days. Kim kindly replied to me quickly and was very accommodating to my last minute request. She treated my dogs with so much love and care. She made sure to refill their water, give them a few treats and sent me some adorable pictures of them where they looked so happy! She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!”
“Sarah was great! She was prompt in her communication and got in a good distance for the walk. I’m sure Mo had a great time! Will be a repeat!”
“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”
“Jessica is absolutely incredible! She provided outstanding care and service for my high-energy dog, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, she was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with handling energetic pups. My dog took to her right away, and every walk left him happy and well-exercised (which is no easy task!).”
“Kara was willing to work with my schedule when I desperately needed her last minute! She detailed what went on during her walk and took great care of my baby.”
“Erin does wonderful. She has been taking my little pup out during the day for walks and spends her time productively with a good walk. She is very prompt with communication and shows up on time. She sends updates with pictures and a summary of her bathroom breaks. I will continue to use Erin.”
“Kylie has done a great job with our two dogs! Very professional and great at communication as well. Our dogs take a while to trust most people but warmed right up to her. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Julie is the best. She took very good care of our senior dogs, particularly when one was very ill. She understands dog behavior and how to deal with various dog personalities, which is comforting when you are leaving your loved ones with others. My dog gets very excited when she arrives. She had a big heart, and I could not recommend her more.”
“Glenn did a great job taking care of our dog. He was prompt, respectful and able to accommodate us at the last minute. We highly recommend him for your dog walking needs”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for multiple families, including drop-in visits and overnight care. I’ve cared for cats regularly over several years, watched dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I also volunteer through Doggy Day Out at the shelter, where I help walk and socialize dogs, and I grew up with a family dog, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience incorporating caregiving and pet care into my daily routine and enjoy creating consistent schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I am organized, dependable, and make it a priority to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My schedule allows me to provide regular walks, check-ins, enrichment, and quality time, and I always work to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel at home. I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, and receive plenty of attention, enrichment, playtime, and companionship. I prioritize safety by keeping doors and outdoor areas secure, being attentive during walks and potty breaks, and cleaning litter boxes as needed. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel informed, reassured, and connected while away.

Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
