“Rachel did great with my boy Dior this week! She made sure that he was well fed, clean, loved, and taken care of. She also did great with helping him stay on top of his training commands that he’s learned and is constantly improving on. I really appreciate her, and I will definitely be rebooking to make sure my boy stays heading in the right direction as he grows!”

About: Cant think of time where I haven’t been around a dog. Growing up there was always dogs in the house. It comes easy to me. For my 2 dogs it starts at 345am with their first walk before I head to the gym. There 2nd walk comes at 8am before I start work then again at 2pm for a quick lunch break and their last 2 walks come at 5 and 930pm before settling down for the night. In between all the walking they’ll get breakfast and dinner and some naps. Meet and greet is important along with getting to know the pets needs and routines. Along with likes and dislikes. Knowing what the pet parents wants and expects from visits or boarding.

I’ve boarded cats at home and house sat for dogs and cats, and I also have 3 years of experience caring for dogs by home sitting, drop in visits, and walking. This has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive to different pet personalities, providing attentive feeding, companionship, and monitoring their needs. I’m very familiar with daily care, feeding routines, litter maintenance, potty training for kittens and puppies, and understanding their behavior. I truly enjoy caring for animals and will treat your bebe like my own while keeping you updated for peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule working from home three days a week. Available for week and weekend boarding or daily drop ins. Also available to schedule multiple drop ins during the day. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m attentive, reliable, and will always follow your cat’s routine closely. I provide regular photo updates and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I live in the first floor with no access to the backyard. My one year old American Shorthair is very friendly but shy, the two month old is very friendly. I also have a 17-year old human child in the house.

About: My name is Roma :) you might recognize me since I’ve probably waved at your dog while exploring some trees in a nearby park! Or admired your puppy on morris ave while on a walk! I’m a deep lover of animals, a responsible house sitter and former volunteer EMT, as well as a very active walker who can match the pace of the fastest dogs but loves to stop and sniff the flowers as much as any slower paced pet :) I had the privilege of watching many pets with various needs and levels of care while attending Emerson College in Boston:) I am now back home in NJ and eager to meet lots of new furry friends :) I have experience with senior pet care and special need pet care I am extremely patient, loving, and thoughtful with my animal care and can adapt to any needs of yours and your pet.

I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and even drop off any new baking experiments I get up to while at home :) My schedule is wide open and available to accommodate to pet care situations as I work part time! I have lots of longer stretches of time available to spend with a pet in need of social care or play time :) I would be truly honored to care for, walk, or house any pet and would treat the job with utmost respect not only towards you as a client but because of a deep respect I carry for animals! I am a respectful, professional, recent college graduate who would be deeply fulfilled by caring for animals while in Boston for the summer!

About: I have hands‑on experience caring for dogs both as an owner and through my work at a pet daycare. I’m skilled in providing daily essentials such as feeding, fresh water, medication administration, and structured walks. I also support general training by reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and creating a positive, engaging environment. My calm, reliable approach helps dogs feel secure, stimulated, and well‑cared‑for in any setting. I build their care into the natural rhythm of my day. Before school, I handle feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or check‑in, and after work I have plenty of time for exercise, training, and attention. Weekends give me longer stretches for enrichment and bonding, so they get steady care throughout the week. I keep pets safe by maintaining a clean, secure environment and following their specific routines and care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable by sticking to familiar rules and daily habits. In my own home, I provide supervised play, proper enrichment, and a calm atmosphere so pets feel relaxed and well‑cared‑for.

About: Was responsible for many cats and dogs when I was growing up. Currently have a fur baby name Genevieve and she’s a calico. She is roughly two years old. Pet care is something I naturally incorporate into my daily routine. I make time to ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of love and attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine, so I do my best to maintain their usual schedules and make them feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to make pet care a priority in my schedule. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m happy to care for pets in either my home or their own home, depending on what works best for them and their owner. I know pets can feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I’m always mindful of their routines, feeding schedules, and little quirks. In a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, get plenty of attention, and stick to their usual routine. If they’re staying with me, I make sure they have a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Whether we’re going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just hanging out, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for while their owner is away!

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, birds, and fish while people were on vacation. I also did checkup visit to one of my girlfriends cat. I went coule of times to check if she had water and food and was okay. The other time I played with her a little took a toy and gave her a treat. Currently unemployed and can fit into schedule easily to visit or babysit your pet. I own cats but this summer I did daily check-ins multiple times a day to someone who had plenty of pets. I checked, fed, provided water, and cleaned. Also one of the dogs had an ear infection and I gave drops daily as owner provided instructions. I have a fence yard. I have 2 indoor who are my babies now that my kids are trens. I also live less than a block away from a park.

Shannon was WONDERFUL and we highly recommend her! We had a 'meet & greet' a few days prior and she was thorough, professional and so good with our dogs. She is so caring and we rested easy knowing our dogs were in her care while we were away. She was also an excellent communicator, followed all instructions for the dogs and was one of the best dog sitters we've ever had. We are very happy that we found her and our pups are, too!

We have used Rover every summer to find a pet sitter for our dog Luna. Luna is a Lagotto Romagnolo. No, you've prob never seen one but they look like a doodle. They are a tough temperamental bread. Luna is especially tough because she learned that outside humans are bad.... Thanks COVID. Luna does not like anyone but me (she tolerates the rest of the family. Georgianna clearly has a gift with dogs! Every picture she sent us of Luna showed a happy and content pup. There were no accidents in the house for the entire 8 days away! When we came home, Luna was relaxed and happy. This is not to say that our other sitters weren't good, buy Georgianna is a pro! I am hoping she will be Luna's sitter for the rest of our lives!!!! 5 stars. HIGHLY recommend!

Kerry Ann helped us out with drop in visits while we were away for our senior dog. Kerry Ann was prompt, arriving when we agreed upon, staying the full drop in time length and keeping us informed with detailed Rover cards. My dog is a bit shy and slower at his age. Kerry Ann took her time with him and made him feel comfortable and also followed all instructions we left. I would highly recommend her. She seems to really love dogs in general which is a plus when you are leaving your beloved pet in their care.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Kenilworth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kenilworth is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $37 per visit. On Rover, 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 25,993 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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 Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
