About: I absolutely love dogsitting! Growing up without any pets of my own, due to an animal allergy that I have outgrown, getting the opportunity to love on your fur babies has been a dream! I work with in a senior citizen home, but I also have taken care of senior dogs before, administering medications, both orally and through an injection. I love treating your fur babies as one of my own and I am more than glad to do whatever you need to make you the most comfortable with me watching your fur babies. I take loads of pictures, videos, etc.! My job is pretty flexible. I can potty your fur babies in the afternoon, if needed. Upon booking, I can provide you my availability! Just ask me, I am more than welcome to let you know when I can pop in to potty your animals during the day :) I love on them, play with them, make sure their water and food bowl is always full when obviously needed. I make sure they are taken outside as often as they need it.

“Allie was great with my dog and two cats. She kept me informed when she was coming by as well as sending me photos of everyone every time she dropped in. She was really good with my very shy cats too. I will definitely use her again the next time I’m out of town!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 8 years old. I’m comfortable with all breeds, including Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and German Shepherds. I was raised alongside a Pitbull Terrier mix, and later went on to adopt a full blooded Pitbull. Our family had a Boxer mix for 13 years until recently, and she was in very good shape up until the end. I would love to care for your pets as I have cared for mine! When I still had my dogs, I would feed them three times a day and give them medicine up to five times a day. If they had a little too much energy, I would play with them until they were tired out. I would let them outside as often as they needed, even if they just wanted to lay out there (when the weather is nice, of course). I cared for my dogs by paying attention to their body language and vocalizations. Often times, what they needed is something simple, like to go outside or when they were ready to eat, but on rare occasions they’d act a little unusual and that was when I’d take them into the vet’s office. I always made sure my dogs were in the best health possible.

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I’ve always loved animals, and pet sitting is the perfect way for me to earn a little extra while settling into my new full-time job. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members, and I’d love to be that person for you! Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or companionship, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve had experience caring for pets of different sizes and personalities, and I understand every animal has their own needs and routine. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your pet and provide the care they deserve! 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.

About: I've had at least four dogs as long as I can remember. As a child, they were my first companions and my second caretakers. Even as I grew into an adult, they were always there to comfort me and to brighten the darkest of days. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and I am eager to give back what they so willingly give; love, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and joy. In the last two years, I have gone from four dogs to one, due to Cancer and Congestive Heart Failure, and I must admit that their absence has affected me deeply. I miss them so so so much!! I'm one of those people that celebrated their dog's birthdays and bought them copious presents for Christmas. While my friends were pulling out their family pics, I was always pulling out my dog pics. I share this same sentiment towards birds, rabbits, and cats; all of which I had growing up. Being surrounded by animals as a child was a great experience. It even prompted me to volunteer at the ASPCA for almost a year. As I hope you can tell, I will not only provide what your pet needs to survive, but I will also provide him/her with special attention and love. I look forward to meeting with both you and your pet! Until then, take care! I will be able to fulfill any house/pet sitting duties without any issues, as I am able to balance my obligations responsibly and with respect to myself and those that hire me. While pet/house sitting, I will abide the rules given to me. This could include when they play, where they sleep, any medications needed, when to eat, etc.

About: So I have been taking care of animals for most of my life, but I have been doing it seriously for the past 6 years. I own a horse and a dog of my own, plus reptiles! So I have a well-rounded amount of knowledge! I'm extremely willing to work with the animals that may need more love and attention as well 💙 I currently work part-time as a repair technician for Apple, so this would be another side job for me! I would do any of the walking/house sitting after my job and taking care of my own animals! So I would be taking advantage of any amenities you have for you animal at your home! Taking them on walks, helping with a special diet, or even spending that extra time with them at the end of the day. I can also provide daily updates and even pictures of your beloved pet!

About: I've lived in a cat household for 17 years and have loved every second of it! I also have experience doing drop-ins, walks, and overnights with dogs ranging from the puppy stage to senior dogs. I love the snuggles and play time, and would love to help take care of your fur babies whenever needed! I work from home and am flexible and very dependable when needed! I live in south-central Lexington and am 10-15 minutes away from just about everywhere in town. I understand how important it is to ensure the happiness of your fur babies. I will engage your dog or cat in fun playtime that lets them get their energy out, take them on walks (if applicable), and then top it all off with a good meal and plenty of belly rubs to make any furry friend happy!

About: I have grown up around dogs and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. Growing up, I worked for a dog breeder, which gave me experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I have also pet sat for multiple family friends over the years, providing reliable care while their owners were away. I have a dog of my own at home, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. As a UK nursing student, I am responsible, attentive, and compassionate, and I would love to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I am currently a nursing student, with classes on Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as clinical on Wednesdays. I am free Tuesday mornings before 10:45 am, and any time Thursdays and Fridays. Also can be available some Wednesday afternoons. Kind of just depends but am always willing to work something out when I do not have class or clincal. I will follow any guidelines you have for your pets. Whatever way you like for them to use the restroom (just in yard or from walks) or can also feed if needed. Will do tasks if instructions are given.

“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Anne, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I grew up on a farm in Brazil surrounded by animals, so caring for them has always been a natural and important part of my life. I currently have a five-year-old Miniature Schnauzer named Pimpo, who is truly part of my family. Because I work from home, I am able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I normally take my dog outside for three to four walks each day, and I would be happy to follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I can also provide regular photos and updates for your peace of mind. I work from home, so I am available throughout the day to give the dogs plenty of attention and care. I walk my own dog three to four times a day, and your dog will be included in our daily walks and routine. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, supervise the dogs, keep fresh water available, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Wilmore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Wilmore on Rover is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $33 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 789 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wilmore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wilmore choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Wilmore with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilmore. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
