“Kyla is truly the best! She has been watching my dog since she was 3 and I never have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Kyla really goes out of her way to make her feel comfortable and happy while i am gone. 10/10 high recommend!”
About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.
“My dogs' mom couldn't care for the dogs at the last second before my trip. Karen not only agreed to do it, but she went over and above by staying at the house with my pups. They were so excited to see Karen and had a lot of fun. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend Karen for your puppy needs!”
“5 Stars for Nelson! Nelson is hands down the best pet sitter out there! I recently had the absolute pleasure of trusting Nelson to care for my pets while I was away, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, he showed deep concern and thoughtful attention—not just to tasks, but to the emotional and physical well-being of my pets. He kept me consistently updated with sweet photos and messages, took initiative by changing the cat litter without being asked, and played wholeheartedly with the dogs. He even took Missy on multiple walks—completely unprompted—simply because he cared. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. What really blew me away is how Missy, who doesn’t warm up easily to people (especially men), loved Nelson. That’s practically a miracle in itself—and speaks volumes about his gentle energy, patience, and kindness. Nelson gave me genuine peace of mind. His heart, intuition, and respect for my pets’ personalities make him incomparable. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and truly gets animals, Nelson is the one. Missy already misses him—and honestly, so do I!”
About: I have always had pets in my home, from a baby to kid to teen to adult. I will ensure your pets are loved and taken care of as if they were my own. I enjoy all breeds of dogs. I hope I get to love on your pets when you are not able to! I am a full time teacher and coach off on summer vacation until the end of July. I am available to watch your pet pretty much any time of day and night. I have a fully fenced yard and also have crates in my home if needed. I am comfortable using crates as I have crate trained all of my dogs.
“Lanette took wonderful care of my two pups! She was very accommodating- One of our dogs is very protective of me and doesn't get along with new people for a while, but Lanette did come over a few times before the stay to help get him more comfortable with her. During the stay our protective little pup came out of his shell, fell in love, and wouldn't leave her alone! She was very patient with him and that was exactly what he needed! We got lots of pictures and videos, which was very comforting for my boyfriend and I. We highly recommend Lanette!”
“I had a great experience with Gaby (Shannon)! This was my first time using Rover and having a house sitter for Belford, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She made the whole process easy and reassuring. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, Gaby went above and beyond by washing the bed sheets—even though it wasn’t required—which was such a thoughtful touch. My home was left in great condition, making coming back even better. I’d absolutely book with Gaby again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!”
“Kaitlyn was an absolute gem and made our weekend away completely stress-free! From the very first update, it was clear she truly cared about our dog and gave him the best possible time. She sent the sweetest, most detailed reports with adorable photos throughout the day. She went above and beyond, keeping him on a great routine and picking up after him so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s obvious Kaitlyn is caring and responsible, and we felt like he was in the very best hands the entire time. We can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Kaitlyn, for taking such wonderful care of our dog 💙”
“Jasmine took great care of our 3 pets over a holiday weekend and we will definitely book again! She shared plenty of pictures and updates that provided peace of mind while we were away. Nothing but good things to say about her!”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! Before our appointment, she took the time to meet Mona, get familiar with our area, and understand all of her needs. On the day of the appointment, she was punctual, and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciate it. Most importantly, Mona was so happy to spend time with her! I highly recommend Sydney and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Sydney!!!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cats and dogs, and I’ve had two to four dogs in my home at a time since I was about five years old. Labs have always had an especially big place in my life, and I’ve had my Lab/Pit Bull mix since 2017. I now also share my home with a Goldendoodle! Growing up with multiple animals taught me how different every dog can be. I’m comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, personalities, and ages. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or would rather have some extra snuggles and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Most importantly, I know how much our animals mean to us. I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I expect for my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a natural part of my day. I’m already accustomed to planning my days around animals, from feeding and caring for dogs to spending time at the barn with horses. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so walks, playtime, potty breaks, and extra one-on-one attention fit easily into my routine. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously. I pay close attention to each pet’s normal routine, personality, body language, feeding schedule, medications or special instructions, and any boundaries you have in place. I believe consistency helps animals feel safe, so I’ll follow your normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic, playful dogs to animals who need a little more patience and time to warm up. My goal is for you to feel confident while you’re away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, cared for, and getting plenty of attention.

“Monic is SO amazing and so down to earth! 💜🐶💜🐱She house sat for me and prior to that spoke with me and got to know my pets to figure out a schedule that provided the love and care closest to my furbabies normal every day routine! I was so happy every step of the way and felt very reassured that I was leaving my animals and home in the best hands. It warmed my heart so much to hear how much she enjoyed the company of my furbabies. I would 1000% recommend her if you ever need someone to watch your pets!”

“Andrew was so great! He gave us such peace of mind while we were away for a week. He sent us daily updates and photos. The pups were taking care of and in good spirits. He took extra time to make sure our dogs were comfortable before we left. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for pets through all stages of life, from raising playful puppies to providing extra love and attention to senior pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to every pet. Whether your pup needs lots of playtime and exercise, a senior pet needs a slower pace and extra patience, or your pet simply needs a little companionship, I’m happy to provide care tailored specifically to them. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in loving and reliable hands. I work full-time remotely during the week, so I’m especially available for weekend pet care, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I’m also open to discussing weekday care depending on the timing and your pet’s needs. My goal is to make pet care convenient for you while keeping your pet comfortable and on their normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“This was our first time to have Tamanda over to pet/house sit for us and she did an amazing job. She took care of all the things I asked her to do and was very up front with me when she had to run errands. When we returned home, everything was just as I left it and of course the most important thing is that she took excellent care of my babies as I could tell when I got home. She put her heart into it!! Thanks again Tamanda. You Rock!!”
“Ryan was absolutely what I was looking for! Reliable, professional, & trusting! After my last rover experience I was a bit hesitant what would happen when booking someone else; however, Ryan did not fail to amaze! He checked in on my pups multiple times a day, fed them and sent pictures in which they looked very content. I feel very comfortable leaving my pups in Ryan’s care while I travel. Definitely recommend Ryan for your pet services!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 686 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kendleton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kendleton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kendleton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Kendleton 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kendleton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
