“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.”
“Ann, was awesome. She was able to accommodate my last minute request. She also met me and picked up Charly. She sent some regular updates and even took some great pictures of Charly.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Morgan is such a sweet person, she’s quick with her response, sends pictures for updates & I can tell my little one had an amazing time. I’ll definitely be using her again🤗”
“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!”
“Kristin and her family are the best!! Henri is always happy when we go visit. Henri gets lots exercise and always looks happy in the photos that Kristin sends. We love”
“Quinn always feels at home with Amber and we can relax, knowing she is getting the best of care! Amber is especially good at keeping us updated with photos and info about Quinn.”
“Ashley is great!! Storm came back worn out but in the best way! I don’t have a fenced In yard, so makes my heart happy for her to have friends to play with and be able to run freely! She was able to get my last minute, and worked with me on times! Highly recommend, absolutely my go to now!”
“We went out of town for a week leaving our one year old Bulldog with Nef. He came to meet our dog and even accommodated transportation. My dog is very picky on who she likes however it was love from first sight. This was the first time we had to board our dog and now we have our go to person for life. Thanks Nef for the outstanding service!”
“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.”
“Winnie was great watching my dog while I was out of town. He came home happy and relaxed. She sent pictures and was very communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off. The whole process was really easy and stress-free. Thank you so much.”
“10/10!! I can’t say enough great things about Martha! She is a very attentive, loving, and experienced sitter. She cared for my dog, Journey, as if she were she own. I loved that she’s also a dog mom, has a fenced backyard, and sends LOTS of updates and pictures. Can’t wait to book with her again in the very near future!!!!”
“Excellent!! These are the NICEST people to take care of my dog!!! I will always check with them first! Polite, considerate, accommodating, reliable and professional.”

“Kayla was awesome— we had total peace of mind on our eight day trip and never had to worry about a thing. She sent us pictures every day & was a very low maintenance sitter. Hope to use her again soon on our next vacation, thanks so much!!”
About: I’ve had cats my whole life and have fostered multiple litters, so I’m totally comfortable with kittens, moms, and everything in between. Right now I share my home with two sweet rescues — Patty, whom I fostered and ended up keeping, and Pumpkin, who I rescued — and I treat them like family. I love deep-cleaning and resetting litter boxes (seriously, it’s oddly satisfying), and I even grow catnip in my cat room to keep things fun and chill. I’m relaxed, reliable, and always paying attention to what each cat needs.
“Isabella watched our cats while we were away and she was great! She provided frequent communication, updates, and photos. We felt very comfortable with her and will likely hire her again.”
“Elisa was fabulous with our Mr. Henry and went above and beyond for what was asked of her. She did 2 drop-ins for us a day and always sent pictures and was always running on schedule. SHE'S HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“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!”
“This was our first time having Sarah come and feed our cat, and everything went great! She did a wonderful job and our cat warmed up to her very quickly. She’s very friendly and super accommodating. I will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”
About: I came home with my first cat when I was 10. First animal allowed to sleep with me. I've had many cats since her. When the kids were young, I volunteered and fostered for the humane society. I have experience with all types of medical issues. I can do subq fluids, oral/injection meds, nails, cleaning/brushing to list a few. Also, my daughter took after me, she is a vet nurse.
About: As a Licensed Veterinary Technician with years of experience in emergency care, anesthesia monitoring, and animal handling, I’m highly skilled at recognizing animal behavior and providing safe, compassionate care. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments and treat every pet like my own. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to a 16-year-old son, and as his needs have become more independent, I am looking for part-time work to stay engaged, productive, and contribute my skills in a meaningful way. I will provide attentive, reliable in-home care for your pet by maintaining their normal routine, ensuring their safety and comfort, and treating them with the same compassion and respect I would give my own animals.
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!!
“Olivia was great. She gave the pups all the lovings while I was away. She sent pics and was great at communicating. The pups loved her. Will definitely use again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We grew up with dogs and added cats to the mix when I was in high school. I’ve had several cats and dogs since then. Presently I have a two week on, two week off schedule. During my two weeks off I need something to do and pet sitting would both give me something to do, and allow me to have some dogs around. I’m a fan of walking so don’t worry about your puppets getting exercise! Pet care in my home is dictated by you, and enhanced by me. I’ll feed on the schedule you’ve set, but I’ve been advised by vets to let dogs have as much water as they want. So I’m happy with frequent yard time, or even walks if that’s necessary. With a fenced in back yard this is not a problem. And while I’m a sucker for puppy eyes, I’ll treat how you want as well. You also don’t need to worry about strong discipline. I will never hit or kick your dog.
“Katie is the best. Our cats are not real sociable but they seem to take to Katie right away. We will definitely continue using her. You won’t be disappointed should you decide to book Katie to care for your fur babies.”
“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!”
“Exceptional communicator, took the very best care of our catties. Cassidy went above and beyond with mail and unloading an unexpected refrigerated delivery 5 star all the way.”

“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.”
“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!”
“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 was born into an animal-loving family and I have continued to instill this love for animals in my own children. I have had a menagerie of animals all of my life. At the young age of 12, I started walking the neighbors' dogs and going to their houses when they were out of town to feed, water, and walk their pets. In college, I worked part-time in several different veterinary clinics. I am still very well connected to the veterinary world so if I am unsure of something involving my pets, I am able to reach out to get an answer pretty quickly. Over my lifetime of 40 yrs. I have had at least 20 dogs, 10 cats, several rabbits, horses, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a few reptiles (but no snakes). In my full-time job, I have a hybrid work schedule. Some days I am in the office and some days I work from home. This allows some flexibility when caring for fur babies. My family also helps care for our "animal guests". It is a group effort! I have a 1/2 acre that is fenced. I have 3 dogs- a Newfoundland, Black Lab, and a Beagle. All of my dogs are rescues. I know that I rescued them but as cheesy as it sounds, most days I feel like they rescued me. Each of them has their own personality, which I love. My dogs are usually always by my side when I am home. My dogs love to jump on the bed or couch and get snuggles. I also have 3 cats. All of them found us. They were all dumped on us and of course, I couldn't turn them away. :) I would treat your animals the same way I treat mine- with love and snuggles.
About: We would love to take care of your furry family member while you're away! We will make sure he has a marvelous time with all of us. My husband and I grew up on farms in Kentucky and have loved dogs all our lives. Our kids also love dogs! We have a large fenced yard, and there are lots of walking areas nearby. 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. Eleanor mostly keeps to herself, so as long as your dog doesn't chase or bark at her, things should go fine! Why I love dog sitting We've loved dogs our entire lives. We don’t have a dog at the moment so enjoy caring for pups when their owners are away. About my yard We do have a large fenced yard! My experience administering medication Yes, we are comfortable administering medication. I work from home so am happy to have a furry friend keep me company and get some exercise together. Your pet won’t be lonely! I have a fully fenced yard with lots of space to play and explore. The fenced area is almost 1/2 an acre so plenty of room.
“Nancy has a huge fenced in yard. Maverick enjoyed his stay and came home tired after playing with the several dogs in Nancy's care. We will book with Nancy again. Thank you!”
“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!”
“This was our first time using a sitter and we are so pleased with Audrey and Samuel. Communication was awesome. Received updates with pictures. Audrey is a very sweet person and you can tell she loves dogs. Do not hesitate to use them if you need a sitter.”
“We've brought our pup to Laura multiple times and it's always been a stress-free experience. Laura is a great communicator and caregiver, and we love working with her!”
“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 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.
About: I grew up on a farm in NC surrounded by animals, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Caring for pets comes naturally to me, and I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I recently moved to Lexington with my husband, who is a veterinarian, which has given me an even greater appreciation for pet health and well-being. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a senior needing extra patience, or somewhere in between, I'll provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medications, or simply providing companionship, I follow each owner's instructions closely and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. As a pet owner myself to an 11½-year-old Maltipoo, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member.

She is absolutely great and will treat your pet(s) with love!”
About: I've had dogs since I was three. I grew up with beagles but have owned a German shepherd, pitties and now an English bulldog. As well as an iguana, frogs, toads, parakeets and hamsters. Oh, and a pigeon. I've always been the one who had to save every living creature. Neighbors have brought me wounded yard creatures to try and save. Saved wild baby bunnies from a bad case of bloat. I've taken first aid/CPCR class. I can trim nails, bathe, walk, run, teach, snuggle and play. I really enjoy brushing them, it strengthens our bond and trust. I will keep them safe and love them like my own. I have cared for puppies to seniors. My animals tend to live long lives. I've never really met an animal I didn't want to kiss. I try to kiss every nose I see. I am a Air Force veteran and no longer work. So I can come to your pet anytime. Kids are grown and don't need me. I can care for your animals in your home. I also provide transportation, if needed. Leashes and car seat belts are a must for me. I have very few limitations, since I don't work a regular job anymore. Feel free to ask me anything. I look forward to making new friends and kissing new noses.
“Rachel has walked my dog, Roxy, maybe a dozen or so times now, and I could not be more thankful for her. She is kind, and gives my dog great experiences. I am so thankful to know someone that I trust completely with my pup, who has her best interest at heart. Thank you Miss Rachel!! Roxy loves you!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs in the house my whole life. I am especially comfortable taking care of older and senior dogs and adapting to their needs (ex. blind/deaf) and have lived with small to medium breeds. However, I am also experienced with taking care of younger and larger breeds (ex. 1 year old English Labs). I have recently graduated from my undergraduate program, and have plenty of free time while looking for full-time employment. I do have a daughter, which may limit certain appointment times but should be flexible as I do have relatives to help, should I need to check on your pets. Experienced with young and elderly dogs, I am always sure to keep an eye on them when they are outside to prevent any escape or injury, regardless of a fence. If needed, I can also sit with special animals on a schedule, to ensure they go to sleep after meals or a walk.

When I’m in your home I carefully follow all house rules, keep everything secure, and stay true to your pet’s normal routine so they feel calm and comfortable. I’m always mindful of doors, windows, and any potential hazards. Throughout the stay I’m happy to send photo updates and messages via text (with your permission).
About: I have 2 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, and over my life I have had 2 dogs and 2 cats. I currently live with my adorable kitty. I love my cat so much and I would give your dog the same amount of care and love :) I am a college student and have class in the morning. On Wednesday and Fridays my day ends around 3:30 but the other days end between 10-12. Preferred to go into the client's home since I have pets myself. If you have specific requests for your animal, I try to abide by that as best as possible. With dogs, I prefer to always keep them on a leash outside if there is no fenced yard.
About: I was born into an animal-loving family and I have continued to instill this love for animals in my own children. I have had a menagerie of animals all of my life. At the young age of 12, I started walking the neighbors' dogs and going to their houses when they were out of town to feed, water, and walk their pets. In college, I worked part-time in several different veterinary clinics. I am still very well connected to the veterinary world so if I am unsure of something involving my pets, I am able to reach out to get an answer pretty quickly. Over my lifetime of 40 yrs. I have had at least 20 dogs, 10 cats, several rabbits, horses, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a few reptiles (but no snakes). In my full-time job, I have a hybrid work schedule. Some days I am in the office and some days I work from home. This allows some flexibility when caring for fur babies. My family also helps care for our "animal guests". It is a group effort! I have a 1/2 acre that is fenced. I have 3 dogs- a Newfoundland, Black Lab, and a Beagle. All of my dogs are rescues. I know that I rescued them but as cheesy as it sounds, most days I feel like they rescued me. Each of them has their own personality, which I love. My dogs are usually always by my side when I am home. My dogs love to jump on the bed or couch and get snuggles. I also have 3 cats. All of them found us. They were all dumped on us and of course, I couldn't turn them away. :) I would treat your animals the same way I treat mine- with love and snuggles.
About: Pet care is basically my native language — I’ve spent all 21 years surrounded by paws and wagging tails. When I’m not spoiling your pets, I’m out walking my own dog like it’s our full-time job! I am looking to create a client base that feels like family! While I am a student full time - my classes are all online so there is no issue with me getting to your fur babies when needed! In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and cuddles. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routines to keep them happy and stress-free — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, cared for, and loved, whether they’re in my home or theirs!
About: I’ve causally pet sit for my friends plenty of times and I am very comfortable taking care of dogs. I would love to be your pets bestie:) Right as of this moment I’m working part time so most of my shifts are 5hrs. Either 10-3 or 3-8pm. I will try to spend as much time as possible with your pet. I’m going to make sure they get some exercise in before I head off to work. I offer lots of cuddles and play ! I will make sure to keep your pet’s routine intact. I’m available to house sit if needed.

“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.”

I can not wait for the next time that she can come over to visit!”
