“Ella is terrific! She always arrived on the scheduled visit times and shared photos with us from her drop-in visits. This was our first time using Rover and the first weekend our new kittens have had a kitty sitter. Everything went great and we will definitely look for availability with Ella for future visits.”

About: I love animals. Growing up with pets of all kinds I learned to appreciate them and recognize their needs. I know the importance of bonding with them and find great joy in forming that bond. I did domestic care for four years and my primary job was tending to the animals. I am trustworthy and caring and I will put the needs of your pet first. Every time. I have made pet care my priority. I presently work full time in pet car. I also love pet photography and offer that as a service I am available on a drop-in basis and I can make myself available for overnights and extended stays as well. Whatever you need, don't hesitate to ask. I have cleared my schedule to make myself available to tend to dogs and cats full-time. I will walk your dog or simply hang out with your pet, whichever you need. I will build a trust with you, and your pet will know. I look forward to meeting you. I am very conscientious and responsible. I lost my own dog of 14 years and this has opened the door for me to be able to tend to your dog or cat. I can only offer the same loving care that I showed my own dog.

“Absolutely recommend Rebeca! You can tell she really cares about dogs and loves what she does. My dog Snoopy has anxiety & is very shy at first but he felt at ease with her as soon as he met her during the meet and greet. She was so gentle, patient & sweet with him right away. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I will def be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs since our family fostered a neighbor’s pup when I was 8 years old. Since then, in my multi-dog household, I have successfully cared for, trained, and housebroken puppies as well as cared for senior dogs. I have extensive experience training and handling reactive and anxious dogs (medium & large breeds), including handling multiple at the same time. I’ve been relied on my neighbors, family, and friends to care for their beloved dogs and cats for many years. I am a warm and compassionate experienced pet owner who is used to caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently do not work a 9-5 job, so I have lots of flexibility and time to spend caring for pets. I am available for dog walking as well as house sitting and pop-in playtime. ** Though I cannot board a pet in my own home, I am more than happy to spend lots of time with your pet to keep them company as well as playtime with my two dogs to keep them company if desired. I can provide a regular walk schedule on weekdays and weekends. I am available to house sit to keep your dog’s schedule and environment as consistent as needed. **

About: I have been pet-sitting for 7 years; caring for animals is my passion! My style of sitting is treating every pet as if they’re my own😊🐾 I am currently working a part time job, so I may have certain windows of availability—but I am more than happy to work with you on times :) In my clients home, I will follow all rules and guidelines relating not only to their pet, but also to respecting their space as well.

“Cody is amazing! She took the time to learn my dog’s specific needs and personality, and tailors her interaction with them. Her many years of experience with dogs was evident in the way that she cared for my senior dog’s needs and quirks. Aside from her professionalism (always on time, dependable, reliable, trustworthy), she is passionate about dogs, and my little one absolutely loved her! She went out of her way to make sure that my dog felt safe and happy while I was away, and sent me lots of cute pics. I can’t say enough great things about her. You will love her. I will definitely be rebooking her again!”

About: I have been around dogs most of my life. In my life time I had 5 dogs in my house hold but not all at once. I watched my brother German shepherd on multiple occasions and walked many dogs for my neighbors. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter to help them walk and foster dogs too! Can’t wait to meet your pet!! I can walk your dog anytime during the week and weekends, but prefer mornings or afternoons. I can also dog sit for any day during the week and weekends I have dealt with multiple dogs in my life time so I know how to respond in an emergency occasion. I can crate a dog if you need me to.

About: I've always had dogs my whole life. Friends and family can always rely on me to take care of their pets or check in on their pets whenever they are out of town or busy at work. I will feed, walk, and play for however much time is needed. I currently work early mornings but there is someone always at the house to feed, play and keep your furry friends company! My whole day after work is completely open so I can't wait to take care of them. Huge fenced yard as well as a my own pet to play with your furry friend if needed. Plenty of toys to keep them occupied as well as plenty of treats to spoil them.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since before I could remember ! I grew up doing it all, from delivering pups to scooping up poop in all it’s glory. I currently work during the day time so I would make a perfect cat sitter / house sitter. I can keep your pets company in the afternoons when I get off I don’t board Pets in my own home but can be very flexible to work around schedules and make your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible in their own home

About: I've taken care of pets since I was in middle school— cats, dogs, turtles, lizards; the whole lot. I grew up with a cat and a dog, both of whom have passed, and now have a new dog who is a ball of energy! This past summer, I worked on a horse farm in Greece for a month where I honed my animal behavior recognition skills; I worked with two reactive farm dogs and earned their trust very quickly. I'm fairly athletic and enjoy long walks/runs with dogs, and if dogs could speak English, I'm sure they would give me glowing reviews about my tug-of-war and Frisbee skills. I'm assertive and friendly with dogs, gentle with cats. I'd love to meet your furry/hairy friends! I have administered pills to my dogs normally and clandestinely (with cream cheese, peanut butter), have wiped ears/muddy paws, bathed, etc. I'm pretty comfortable and experienced with most aspects of dog care and will let you know if there's something I don't know how to do. I work at ETHS, so I'm unavailable from 7:30-4pm every weekday starting in August. I also coach basketball during weeknights Tu/Th evenings. I might be able to do a walk or play session on my lunch break if you are close enough to the high school-- message me and we can work this out! Weekends are best for me but I'm pretty flexible! Communication is my upmost priority as I provide frequent updates with photos/videos. I will take plenty of pics/videos of your pets to show you how safe and happy your pets are in my care to give you peace of mind!

About: I’ve been a huge dog lover since I was ten years old! Growing up, I pet-sat for neighbors, family, and friends, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, and keeping pups entertained. I’ve owned three dogs throughout my life and am currently a proud Shih Tzu owner, so I definitely know my way around a big 'lion dog' personality! I also enjoy training; I’ve taught my dogs everything from basic sits and paw-shakes to 'wait' commands for meals and even some fun moves like dancing. I truly just love being around dogs! I'm currently a full time college student but I still have lots of time to play and take care of your dogs! My availability is usually in the afternoon on weekdays and mostly open throughout the day on weekends. Just send me a message and I'll coordinate as best with your times! When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your dog's familiar routine to keep them stress free. I stick to your established feeding, walking, and medication schedules! And I make sure to have fun with them :)

About: I've always loved caring for dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, from tiny breeds and small dogs to large breeds, including pit bulls, as well as energetic puppies. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I've provided overnight house sitting for families, cared for pets in their own homes to help keep their routines consistent, and offered drop-in visits and dog walking. I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has unique needs and deserves patient, individualized care. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I'll always treat your home with respect and your dog like they're part of my own family. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away, giving you peace of mind that your furry family member is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention I am a full-time kindergarten teacher, and caring for others is a big part of who I am. My job has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe and loving environment — qualities I bring into caring for pets as well. Outside of school, I have time for early morning walks, check-ins, evening visits, and overnight stays. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and give them the attention, exercise, and love they need. I treat every pet like they are my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I make sure to follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from puppies and small dogs to larger breeds, including pit bulls. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Adam did a fantastic job taking care of Katianna while we were away at our cabin. He took wonderful care of our kitty—she was happy, relaxed, and well-attended to the entire time. We especially appreciated his attentiveness and proactive communication when he noticed a slight issue with her eating and pooping habits; he reached out right away to keep us informed. On top of top-notch pet care, he went above and beyond by taking out the trash and leaving our home in great shape. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Adam again!

Mia was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals — my cat warmed up to her quickly and was clearly comfortable in her care. Mia was reliable and punctual every single visit, and she kept me updated regularly with photos and notes, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond with little extra touches that showed real attentiveness. I'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.

Rosy was great! Both of my cats need pills and one is particularly adept at hiding in general, so we were worried about how he would react.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kenilworth on Rover is $30 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $39 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 12,166 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kenilworth. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
