Pet Sitting Virginia Ave

“Sarah is detail oriented, kind, and has a calming manner. She was responsive to the needs of my dog and cat, even slowly bringing my old shy cat out of his shell. Definitely recommend!”

“We have worked with Kara a few times already, and it has always been a great experience! Kara is very attentive to our cat Savannah and sends plenty of pictures, so that we don’t need to worry. 😄 Thank you so much, Kara!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My family has had many dogs ranging in size from a Great Dane to a Pug. I pet sit for many of my neighbors growing up and was always reliable and caring. I am currently a student in college, but I am available for a good chunk of most week days. My classes are mostly in the mornings, so I am available in the afternoons/ nights or early morning before class. I am also available anytime on the weekends. I care for pets in their own homes the same way I would want someone to care for my pets. I will always respect my clients homes, ensure pets are secure before I leave, and follow instructions carefully.

“Caitlin was great with our pup! She communicated ahead of time and made sure Shadow was taken care of. She was intentional with playing with him and providing us updates. Will be using her in the future!”

Caroline D.

“Excellent communication regarding my elderly, disabled dog, so that I knew exactly how she was doing throughout the day. I felt Angelee genuinely cared about her, and erased all stress on both sides with her gentle, thoughtful care.”

Kathleen D.

“Jordan was great! Our dog took right to her and loved her! She was great at spending time with our pup and updated us regularly. Will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend her!”

Sharon D.

“Ashtin & Jenison are awesome! This is my second time booking with them to watch my cat, Duchess. I always get lots of photos and Duchess looks very happy. They even brought in a laser toy for her! They helped me out with last minute requests and also with two extensions on my last visit. They are super friendly and helpful, and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat. i will definitely book with them again!”

“Catherine M did a wonderful job. She and Tucker got along great. She sent pictures after every visit so we know our little guy was happy, played with and given plenty of attention. We will remember Catherine for our next trip.”

“Jeff was an awesome sitter for my cat, Dusty! He is a great communicator, and it was clear from the start of our interactions that he is a true cat lover! Dusty is an older cat with a history of diabetes, so the timing of her meals is important. Jeff came by for a “meet and greet” before I left and was so reliable while I was away, which allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my vacation. His pictures and updates always made me smile. Jeff did a great job of taking care of Dusty! It was clear from his pictures that he and Dusty made fast friends. Jeff also went out of his way to contact my neighbors and building maintenance when a leak appeared in my bathroom ceiling. I was on the plane flying home and unreachable, and Jeff handled the situation as a good friend would have, going above and beyond…. I am so grateful for Jeff’s care for Dusty and my place! I give him my highest recommendation. Thanks for your time and efforts, Jeff!! ?”

“Kayla's oversight and care of "Jones" was all, and more than I could have ever hoped for as a new "Rover" client. Even though Jones proved herself to be a bit of a 'skeerdy cat' and may have tried to throw Kayla a few curves when Kayla was attempting to locate Jones during her first drop in visits, Kayla persisted, taking time to make sure that her charge was always both well fed & watered but 'present and accounted for'. It was this attention to detail and persistence by Kayla shown in the twice her daily texts with photos from of her drop in visits that gave me the confidence I needed to fully enjoy my long delayed Christmas respite with my geographically distant family. I would commend Kayla to any Rover customer who is seeking a compassionate, competent and caring caretaker for their pet. Robert, with Jones' kitty paw of approval also”

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.

“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!”

J D.

“Addie was prompt, professional, and spent extra time with our dogs. We loved the pictures and could tell they were well taken care of while we were gone.”

Alayna S.

“Katherine was communicative while I was away, and I came back to a very happy cat! I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of Chevy.”

About: I've been caring for pets for over 8 years through family, friends, and by helping manage my sister's Rover clients. During that time, I've gained experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and care needs. One of my greatest strengths is working with senior pets. I helped care for and train my own dogs throughout their lives, including into their senior years at ages 15 and 17. This taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring health, and providing gentle, loving care. I also have experience caring for pets that require intensive monitoring and strict medication schedules. I understand how important consistency is when a pet has medical, age-related, or special needs, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications as directed, and keeping a close eye on any changes in behavior or health. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I've assisted with dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for family, friends, and Rover clients. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, specialized care, or simply a calm and caring presence, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind during your time away. I am currently in graduate school, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I am only in class for a few hours each day, so I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, feeding, and companionship. In addition to my weekday availability, I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This allows me to take on weekend house sitting, extended stays, and more flexible scheduling needs without conflict. Overall, my routine makes it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care and attention to pets during both weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that pets feel most secure in their familiar environment, so I focus on maintaining their normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am experienced with house sitting, dog sitting, cat sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I approach each service with the same level of responsibility and care. I make sure doors are secured, leashes are always used properly on walks, and pets are never left in unsafe situations. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice any changes or concerns. In addition, I respect my clients’ homes and treat them with care and professionalism. I keep spaces clean, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure everything is left just as I found it. My goal is to provide peace of mind by creating a safe, trustworthy, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

“I cannot say enough get things about Kylie. She was prompt, great with communication, flexible, but most important my dog loves her. He was genuinely happier on days he saw Kylie and that is invaluable. Thank you so much Kylie! ❤️”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, with experience ranging from dogs and cats to turtles and hermit crabs. I’m comfortable caring for pets in all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need patience, consistency, and basic training reinforcement to senior dogs who may require extra attention, slower walks, medication support, or mobility assistance. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate with every pet I care for. I understand that each animal has a different personality and routine, and I work to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they are my own. I am currently in grad school, so my daily schedule is a little wonky. My days usually start around 8 am and end at 4 pm. Besides that I am wide open to care for your pet and I will be able to stop by during breaks in my days! I am more than comfortable to crate animals if needed. I am attentive and caring, the same levels I would wish someone would give my own pet.

“Sara is awesome! She watched my kitten for a long weekend, and he seemed very happy when I got home. She takes great pictures with lots of updates, and even came by for a meet and greet before hand! Would book again!”

Maryjane S.

“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”

Margot D.

“Ellie was GREAT! She was prompt, stayed for the agreed time and gave our "kids" lots of belly rubs! We will certainly be using her services again to look after our furry kiddos! Thanks Ellie!”
