“When we needed a sitter last minute on vacation Emily came to the rescue and was one of the best dog sitters we have ever had. Emily sent pictures through the day, followed all our care instructions and loved our baby like we do.”
“She took amazing care of my dog while I was away. She kept me updated with photos. My dog was happy and well cared , he looks so healthy . Highly recommend. --- You can adjust it as needed!”
“I am so thankful to have found Melody. My dog, Opal, took to her right away, and she LOVES being over there for daycare and overnight stays. The times are super flexible, and I’m thankful to have someone that loves my dog as much as I do! I get pictures and videos on how Opal is doing throughout the day. Definitely the best dog sitter in Lex!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Valerie was excellent! She took great of our dog, sent regular updates, and managed his eye condition well. An added bonus is her sweet dog Ollie who was great company for our dog and kept him at ease.”
“I can only really know how things went for my cat Teacup when she is boarded by how she behaves once she’s back home. After her 2 night stay with Natasha she seemed happy to be home, but otherwise very calm. Unlike other times when she meowed non-stop for 2 days as if she were trying to tell me all was not as it should have been. This time she hardly meowed at all. Natasha and her 2 daughters seem comfortable with both cats and dogs which of course reassures their guests that they are safe and loved. For Teacup that is everything. I think Teacup wouldn’t mind a return visit in the future. I can recommend Natasha for cat boarding.”
“Amber and her family were great with my Mika. She sent me updates on how Mika was doing and was flexible as my schedule is a bit all over the place right now. I will book with her again as this was a fantastic experience!”
“Kristen & her Husband gave Oliver a great, safe, social, & loving environment while I traveled for work. Thank you for your help & support! Even grabbed an extra collar on my behalf ??”
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.
“Fantastic as always. Hardy comes home worn out every time lol and when I drop him off he doesn’t even tell me bye, just runs straight in to start playing. This is how I know he loves coming over :) Thanks for always taking such good care of my baby!”
“Erin as very accommodating. Responded promptly to all messages. Sent pictures and took very good care of our little puppy. I was very thankful to have her watch our fur baby and when we go out of town again she will be our first choice!!”
“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!”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time staying with Ana and her dog, Mia. Ana was an excellent sitter very accommodating, communicative, and easy to work with. We felt completely at ease and would happily book with her again.”
“Great experience! They took wonderful care of Thor and sent updates, which I really appreciated. He’s an easy cat, but they still kept him in his own room so he felt safe and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”
“As always, Ashley took amazing care of my puppy with special needs. She and her dogs made Pearl feel so at home. Pearl does amazing there and is learning to socialize and how to act in a house and listen, despite being deaf. I couldn’t recommend them more!!”

“Emma was amazing! She took really good care of my two kittens when I was away for three weeks. Before I left, she came over to spend time getting to know the kittens. While I was away, she sent many photos and very thorough descriptions of what she did when she dropped by. She followed the instructions I left for her perfectly. Emma also helped bring my packages in and took good care of my apartment. She is very responsive with messages as well. My kittens love her. I will definitely book Emma again in the future! If you need a pet sitter for your cats, Emma is the one!”
“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!”
“Kayla has watched our fur babies on several occasions. She does a great job of caring for everyone’s special needs and communicates with me often. I would highly recommend Kayla!”
“Kim was excellent! She stayed in communication and was prompt getting back to me. Most importantly, my two cats were well taken care of! Everything was in order when I got home and my cats are happy. I'll definitely use Kim again and would recommend her to others.”
“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.”
About: I currently live with a cat at college since my roommate has one, so I’m very comfortable around cats and their different personalities! I’ve also cat sat for friends and family and have experience with both shy, reserved cats and super friendly, social ones. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I had two cats growing up that have since passed. But we’re very kind indoor outdoor cats. Due to adoption of dogs I haven’t had any since but haven’t lost my love for them! I find cats aggressive or not super manageable and fun to be around even if they are just sleeping. I am able to manage both dogs and cats even when they don’t get along. And have been around cats who are aggressive, shy and even ones that require lots of attention. I love them and would love to meet your cat!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for years with different size dogs and multiple dogs at a time; I have loved dogs since a young age and carry it with me always! I love animals! I’m a huge dog and cat lover! I don’t have any dogs of my own, as I care for other’s animals as if they were my own! I can always come to your home and sit your dogs and cats! I want them to be as happy and comfortable as possible! I am always willing to plan my schedule around your fur babies!
“We booked last minute on a holiday week. Rachel was so reliable and took great care of our cat Bubba. She took daily pictures and gave us thorough updates. It really helped not to worry about our pet on last minute travel.”
“Cheryl was great house sitting and watching out cat Molly. Molly is very shy with strangers, so hearing that Cheryl was able to pet her really showed us how great care she took of Molly. We got daily updates with pictures which put us at ease as well. Apartment was just as clean when we got back as when we left it with Cheryl!”
“Chelsea was amazing! She stayed in our home for 11 days and cared for our two kittens, and checked to ensure our snake had water. She went above and beyond taking care of our home and our fur babies. I received texts with pics and videos nearly everyday. She was very responsive to messages. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Hannah did amazing with my three dogs. During her meet and great with them, she knew how to handle them barking at intruders and got them quickly to be friendly with her and recognize her. She did great with instructions since all three of my dogs have different personalities and require different types of attention. I know my dogs can’t wait to have her over again for more dog sitting”
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.
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. Reagan is sweet and smart, but mostly keeps to herself unless your dog wants to engage with her. We have a small fenced yard, and there are lots of walking areas nearby. We would take your dog to the dog park with us around the corner if you like, or we can head over to the nearby park! We do have a cat named George and a young daughter, so it is important that your furry friend be comfortable around both. George mostly keeps to himself, so as long as your dog doesn't chase or bark at him, things should go fine! Why I love dog sitting We've loved dogs our entire lives. We both grew up with dogs and firmly believe that they are a blessing to us! About my yard We do have a small 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.

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Clarissa, we had a wonderful experience and couldn't be happier with the care provided. From the beginning, you were communicative, reliable, and genuinely caring. What stood out most was her willingness to make accommodations and work with our schedule and specific needs, which made the entire process stress-free. It was clear that Lena was treated with patience, and attention, and we received updates that gave us peace of mind while we were in our event. Knowing our pup was in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time. If you are in the Lexington area this is your gal, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate Rover sitter!”
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.
“Emily and her pups were great! She was very welcoming and flexible with her time. She has an amazing fenced in yard. I felt very comfortable with her, and she was very patient and worked with my dog to get her settled. My doggie was very anxious, and Emily was very patient! Already have another booking with her for boarding!”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“Debra was wonderful! I have one dog who is very anxious and she was so patient with him to make sure he was going to be comfortable in a new environment. She has a wonderful fenced backyard which was important to me as my anxious dog doesn’t do well on walks. I will definitely be using her 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. 🐾

“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!”
“Communication with Nancy was excellent. She was quick to respond. Both our dogs spent the day with her while we were in the area. They played hard because they were worn out when we picked them up. We would book with her again.”
“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!”
“Remy & Rowan loved their time with Madyson today! They got along well with Madyson’s two adorable dogs, who are very well behaved. Madyson was even able to accommodate a somewhat last minute request. She was very welcoming with the girls, and I felt confident leaving them with her. I would definitely recommend Madyson to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“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 been caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities since I was around 13 years old. Over the years, I've pet-sat for neighbors, friends, and family members who trusted me to provide attentive, reliable care for their beloved pets. In addition to pet sitting, I often volunteer through the Check Me Out program with the Lexington Humane Society, where I take shelter dogs out for fun day trips to give them a break from the kennel environment and provide them with enrichment and socialization. I genuinely enjoy spending time with all animals and understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether you need drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, medication assistance (if applicable), or simply someone to keep your pet company while you're away, I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I recently graduated from the University of Kentucky, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I am also happy to provide photo and video updates for every visit and maintain clear communication so you will always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're at work, traveling, or on vacation by ensuring your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm currently working part-time, mostly on the weekends. I am available most days during the week. My work schedule can fluctuate; however, any changes will be communicated promptly. I live in a pet friendly apartment with plenty of space for walks or playing. I do not currently have any other animals in my apartment. To ensure your pet's safety, they will be on a leash while outside.
About: I have experience in training animals especially puppies. I also work at a vet clinic. The health and well being of all animals is my main priority. I am constantly around animals from working in a Veterinary clinic to learning about them. When I am not working I am hanging out with my own animals. Happiness and safety of animals has always come before everything. Making sure your pets get the proper care they need while you're away is important to me. I strictly follow the instructions I have been given as consistency is key in an animals life.
About: A college student who loves animals looking for extra money over the summer! Hello! My name is Allie! I have grown up with both dogs and cats and don’t know any other way than how to take care of them! I have two dogs and have been left alone with them in the house since I was about 14 (currently 18). So I have come to understand how to take care of them overnight. My dogs can be aggressive and bark loudly which I have come to learn how to deal with and am not scared of. I have also seen the crossover between cats and dogs and am able to manage that as well. Last summer I dog sat for a family for about a period of 10 days. And have been on and off overnight watching and walking him for about a month now! I am currently a freshman in college looking for a way to make some summer money and currently have a completely free schedule other than some babysitting jobs! I have a fenced in yard with an electric fence. I walk my dogs at least once every day which I love to do. They eat and drink when they want to as they are trained to do so but also understand if your dog runs on a schedule. We use a dog door but also am able to tell when dog needs to go in/out and keep them on that schedule as well!
About: I grew up with dogs. I have had the privilege of calling 2 my own and I’ve loved countless others of friends, neighbors, and family members. In the past, I’ve dogsat for family friends and other neighbors. Through each different experience, I’ve always been flexible with putting in extra work and waiting on payments. I am a college kid on summer vacation, so my only other current commitment is a remote internship. I have plenty of time to care for your dogs! Because I’m going to your house, I will respect your privacy. I will not enter rooms that you did not tell me I could enter. I will not open any drawers, cabinets, pantries, fridges, etc. I will care for your dog in the confines of what parts of your home you have allowed me to enter.
About: I’ve been providing excellent dog walking/sitting services for 5 years with neighbors and friends. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, throughout all ages. I’ve had over 15 dogs throughout my lifetime and they hold a special place in my heart! I’m currently a student at the University of Kentucky and have classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. I’m available all day Monday and Wednesday. I have a loving and friendly Bernese Mountain Dog living with me and a fenced in dog park with obstacles to play on. If your dog requires to be crated I can easily do that too!
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.

“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 cared for animals of all kinds ranging from ferrets and bunnies to horses and large dogs, several of which had various medical needs and requirements. I also have experience in basic training for dogs if a training regimen is required. I am currently waiting for the fall semester for college to start so I have lots of free time to devote to the care and safety of your animals. While I cannot care for other dogs or cats in my home, small pets like ferrets and chinchillas are welcome if they travel with an enclosure.

“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!”
“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.”
“I can only really know how things went for my cat Teacup when she is boarded by how she behaves once she’s back home. After her 2 night stay with Natasha she seemed happy to be home, but otherwise very calm. Unlike other times when she meowed non-stop for 2 days as if she were trying to tell me all was not as it should have been. This time she hardly meowed at all. Natasha and her 2 daughters seem comfortable with both cats and dogs which of course reassures their guests that they are safe and loved. For Teacup that is everything. I think Teacup wouldn’t mind a return visit in the future. I can recommend Natasha for cat boarding.”
“Amber and her family were great with my Mika. She sent me updates on how Mika was doing and was flexible as my schedule is a bit all over the place right now. I will book with her again as this was a fantastic experience!”
“Kristen & her Husband gave Oliver a great, safe, social, & loving environment while I traveled for work. Thank you for your help & support! Even grabbed an extra collar on my behalf ??”
“Fantastic as always. Hardy comes home worn out every time lol and when I drop him off he doesn’t even tell me bye, just runs straight in to start playing. This is how I know he loves coming over :) Thanks for always taking such good care of my baby!”
“Erin as very accommodating. Responded promptly to all messages. Sent pictures and took very good care of our little puppy. I was very thankful to have her watch our fur baby and when we go out of town again she will be our first choice!!”
“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!”
“Great experience! They took wonderful care of Thor and sent updates, which I really appreciated. He’s an easy cat, but they still kept him in his own room so he felt safe and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”
“As always, Ashley took amazing care of my puppy with special needs. She and her dogs made Pearl feel so at home. Pearl does amazing there and is learning to socialize and how to act in a house and listen, despite being deaf. I couldn’t recommend them more!!”
“Jason and Brooke were great! They kept me up to date with Rupp and sent pictures. Rupp loved hanging out with their daughter and sleeping with her at night. We will definitely use their services again!”
“Alex and Martha are great! Communication is excellent. They spent a lot of time with our dog and she had a blast playing with their dog. We were worried about leaving her with a sitter for the first time but we had absolutely no issues at all. Will definitely use them again for our next trip!”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“Audrey and Samuel did a great job caring for my puppy! She was exhausted when we picked her up so I think she had a lot of fun! They also offered to do a meet-and-great which is great.”
