“Bret was amazing, took great care of my Velcro baby. I work nights & Bret was able to accommodate my last minute booking. He’s very thorough & kind. I know Dior had a great time spending the night with him & his family. We would definitely be booking again.”
“I will always see if Erin is available to watch our dog Hera. She is safe and happy with Erin and her husband and gets lots of walks. Erin is great with communication and easy to work with. We are repeat clients”
“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!!”
“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.”
“If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, I can't recommend Kathryn highly enough! While I was away on a mission trip, Oreo stayed with her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. Kathryn is incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about every dog she watches. One of my favorite parts of the experience was receiving daily photos of Oreo. Seeing her happy, relaxed, and having fun made being away from her so much easier and reassured me that she was receiving exceptional care. When I picked Oreo up, it was obvious she had been well loved and well cared for. She truly enjoyed her time with Kathryn, and I know she'll be excited to stay with her again in the future. If you're searching for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter, Kathryn is simply the best. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Oreo. We are so grateful for everything you did!”
“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.”
“Jason and Brooke welcomed Winston as one of their own. They communicated very effectively and timely. Winston had some stomach issues while we were away and they were so patient and kept us informed on his tummy stuff. We will definitely rebook again!”
“Our dog Remy (1.5 year Shetland Sheepdog) had an overnight stay with Sandra. She took very good care of him and we believe he enjoyed his stay and her very large fenced in back yard. Sandra sent us delightful pictures and videos of Remy while we were away and this gave us peace of mind that he was doing well. Sandra was responsive to our requests and communication was good. We are likely to board with Sandra again.”

I work a full-time job at UK and im just settling in, so if you have a furbaby that's in need of caring for because of a busy summer schedule. Book with me and dont send them to a kennel or dog day care. I have a strict no dog policy at my house as I live at home rn and my parents have 3 huskies and its chaotic as is. Will up date if changes.
“Winnie was absolutely wonderful with Stella during the three nights we were out of town! She took such good care of her and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Her own dogs were very sweet! And then Stella decided to add a little excitement to Winnie’s stay by going through a brief “I think I’ll drink ALL the water and then puke it back up” phase. 😂 Winnie handled it like a champ, kept an eye on her, and helped Stella get through her little stomach drama. We couldn’t have asked for someone more caring, attentive, and patient. Stella was clearly in good hands, and we’re definitely looking forward to using Winnie again and her 3 pups. Hopefully, next time, Stella will skip the special-effects portion of her visit! 😂🐾❤️”

“Isabella took care of my cat while I was away for a work trip. It was the first time my cat was alone for an extended period of time and Isabella was so sweet and understanding that I was probably more nervous than the cat was. She sent me multiple pictures every day with updates. I highly recommend Isabella for any of your pet sitting needs. She is so sweet and will go above and beyond to take care of both you and your pet.”
“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!”
“Angela and her family did a great job taking care of our kitten, Rory. They sent updates to the number we gave them regularly and so we didn't have to worry. It made our trip much less stressful. When we arrived all of Rory's things were ready to go and the litter box was clean, which we appreciated. We know kittens can be a handful so we were very pleased with Angela watching her.”

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!”
“Megan looked after my dog, Figgy, every day for two weeks during an especially busy time at work. I had never trusted anyone else to look after her before, so I was understandably nervous about how it would go. I honestly couldn’t recommend Megan enough! Figgy had such a wonderful time and was made to feel like part of the family. I never had to worry about her care or happiness, which was such a huge weight off my mind during an already busy period. Megan was incredibly welcoming, flexible, and caring, and it was clear how much she genuinely loved having Figgy around (and vice versa). I would absolutely trust Megan with Figgy again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog. Thank you, Megan and Parker!”
“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!”
“We needed a last minute day camp for our Jack Russel. She responded back right away. This was his first stay away from home. She sent pictures and messages. We are so grateful for her care!”
“I was visiting family in the area, and I left my 40 lb female husky with Kimberly for the day. My husky gets anxious in new environments and loves to be outside. Kimberly helped her get acquainted with the new surroundings and took her for SO many walks! When I picked my husky up at the end of the day, she was very happy and very tired! I would definitely contact again and recommend Kimberly. I felt very comfortable, she was very communicative & clearly cared about my husky having a good day too!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a small child, growing up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, horses, goats, sheep, and ducks. I currently share three rescue dogs with my partner, who all love meeting new dog friends! I was a small animal vet tech for several years, and am very comfortable administering medications, including insulin, as well as reading dog behavior and body language to ensure safety. I can confidently manage play time and I’m willing to step in if someone looks like they need a break. We have a fully-fenced, secure backyard, with 6-ft privacy fencing and plenty of room to run! My partner and I both work from home, so dogs are rarely left unattended. Two of our dogs are crate-trained (our senior boy does not get crated). My partner and I both work from home to accommodate our dogs. The dogs are rarely left unattended, unless we are going somewhere together. We set aside time to play with our dogs and take them for walks and hikes. I have a fully-fenced backyard secured with 6 ft privacy fencing. I am confident in reading dog body language and behavior and have no problem stepping in to allow breaks in play time. Our dogs are very friendly with others and are fully vaccinated, and we welcome other vaccinated dogs with regular disinfection between client pups.

About: When I was around four, I started to go across the street and cat-sit for this empty-nest couple. They were older, and so they wanted to travel more. The lady owned two cats, a Birman and an Oriental Shorthair. The lady used to take them to cat shows, and they were her most prized possession. They had grandkids to see and wanted to explore as many different countries as they could. They used to say, "Maggie, you are so convenient, and I am glad that you are here so we can leave and do things that we love more often." My mom never once told me to go and do my job. I woke up and was ready to go see Bootsy and Bella. They moved when I was 16, and I was their sitter until the day they left. I realized that for people to do the things they loved, they needed an easy, stress-free, and affordable sitter for their animals. Anyway, I started a show kennel for my Italian Greyhounds because of her, and now this is my full-time gig. I run a full-time boarding and daycare facility at my house. I am open for boarding and daycare 7 days a week. I own show dogs, and so I am home training and working on my websites while the dogs have multiple areas and an outdoor fenced area to play. I work on my computer for 3-5 hours a day and play with and walk the dogs while I rotate in between that. I take lots of pictures during the day and have an instagram that I post them on. The dogs rotate among the kitchen, the basement, and the outdoor enclosure. All dogs have access to water 24/7. The outdoor enclosure has a roof, and I run a fan when it is hot, in accordance with USDA guidelines. If the weather is bad, I walk the dogs or just let them play together in the basement or kitchen.

Before care begins, I like to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, triggers, and any medical or behavioral needs. • Overnight stays: Maintain normal schedule, walks, feedings, playtime, and companionship. • Drop-ins: Bathroom breaks, feeding, fresh water, enrichment/play, and safety check of the home. • Walks: Safe leash handling, appropriate exercise, and attention to weather and surroundings. Clear communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos during each visit.

“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.

“If you're looking for someone who will care for your dog like family, I can't recommend Kathryn highly enough! While I was away on a mission trip, Oreo stayed with her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. Kathryn is incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely cares about every dog she watches. One of my favorite parts of the experience was receiving daily photos of Oreo. Seeing her happy, relaxed, and having fun made being away from her so much easier and reassured me that she was receiving exceptional care. When I picked Oreo up, it was obvious she had been well loved and well cared for. She truly enjoyed her time with Kathryn, and I know she'll be excited to stay with her again in the future. If you're searching for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter, Kathryn is simply the best. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Oreo. We are so grateful for everything you did!”
“Jason and Brooke welcomed Winston as one of their own. They communicated very effectively and timely. Winston had some stomach issues while we were away and they were so patient and kept us informed on his tummy stuff. We will definitely rebook again!”
“Our dog Remy (1.5 year Shetland Sheepdog) had an overnight stay with Sandra. She took very good care of him and we believe he enjoyed his stay and her very large fenced in back yard. Sandra sent us delightful pictures and videos of Remy while we were away and this gave us peace of mind that he was doing well. Sandra was responsive to our requests and communication was good. We are likely to board with Sandra again.”

Book with me and dont send them to a kennel or dog day care. I have a strict no dog policy at my house as I live at home rn and my parents have 3 huskies and its chaotic as is. Will up date if changes.
“Winnie was absolutely wonderful with Stella during the three nights we were out of town! She took such good care of her and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Her own dogs were very sweet! And then Stella decided to add a little excitement to Winnie’s stay by going through a brief “I think I’ll drink ALL the water and then puke it back up” phase. 😂 Winnie handled it like a champ, kept an eye on her, and helped Stella get through her little stomach drama. We couldn’t have asked for someone more caring, attentive, and patient. Stella was clearly in good hands, and we’re definitely looking forward to using Winnie again and her 3 pups. Hopefully, next time, Stella will skip the special-effects portion of her visit! 😂🐾❤️”

“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.”
