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!

About: I have always loved animals! Booking with me will include a wonderful fun and safe day for your furry with tons of pictures and updates for you to see! I want to make any experience as smooth as possible for you and your furry friend and am more than happy to figure out details that make you feel comfortable! I have 3 years of child care experience and have helped with many pets! Growing up I was my grandmas #1 dog sitter when it came to her two Rottweilers. Anything from picking up poop and refilling the water bowl I was there to help! I am currently a college student that is in Lexington for the school year! My days are flexible and open to you and your pets needs! I love early morning walks and midday tug-of-war with your pets! If you have random hours for work or are gone all day, I can be helpful! I care for your pets with love and care! I know when pavement is too hot to walk, and the signs for a pet that needs to get back inside and hydrate! I do not have a home with crates or a fence, but I am willing to help out however I can!

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 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.

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!

About: I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, and livestock—was part of everyday life. I have 5+ years of experience raising dogs and 3 years working in a dog boarding facility, caring for multiple dogs with different needs, routines, and temperaments. I also worked for a veterinarian, gaining experience with safe handling, health awareness, and attentive care. In addition, I have 3 years of experience training puppies starting as young as 3 days old, focusing on early socialization, routine building, and positive reinforcement. Whether I’m caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, cats, or farm animals, I provide dependable, loving, and detail-oriented care. I treat every animal like family and prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I am a full time chiropractic student, so I will have time in the early morning and late evening on weekdays. I will also be available all day during the weekends! I care for pets by following their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, medications, and preferences. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. Safety and comfort are always my priorities, and I closely monitor behavior and health. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, cats, and farm animals, and I adjust my care to fit each pet. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while away.

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'm currently working part-time and work no later than 4 PM, so I am quite 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’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: 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: I’ve taken care of animals for many years now. My parents are Rover sitters and we have taken care of several different dogs. I have been exposed to all different breeds and ages. I have also given animals their medication. I am always free during the summer. I can walk your dog, check on your cats or anything else that you need. Just let me know. I would go to your home as many times a day as needed and stay the night if preferred. I can put your dog in its crate or let them sleep in bed with me. I am very accommodating to the needs of your pet.

About: I have experience with cats of all ages (kittens to 21+), and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with service puppies in training, elderly cats with special diets and medication schedules, and raised several kittens. I have experience with dog-anxious dogs, older puppies, and senior dogs. I’m currently a full time MA student, and am happy to fit pet care around my teaching and class schedule! I am available on weekends and some weekdays. I have separation anxiety from my own babies, and I understand that you might as well! I provide in-home services only, so your dogs/cats are comfortably in their own space. I love to send picture updates, check in about any changes, and am used to carefully opening doors due to escape-artist cats. I am also comfortable crating dogs.

Sydney was great with our two large dogs who needed exercise while we were on a week-long trip. Her communication (including photos) was very helpful and enabled us to truly enjoy our vacation. I would definitely have her care for our pups again.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Wilmore on Rover is $23.13 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 772 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wilmore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wilmore stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

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