“Marlee is very friendly and reliable. I liked that she was very communicative through the entire process. She dropped in on my cat, Majik, a few times while we were away on vacation. Although, Majik is very skittish and would hide away during the times Marlee dropped in, she made sure Majik was fed and that her litter was clean, which is what I needed her help to do. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. As a lifelong dog lover and a proud dog mom myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine care I provide. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home. I’m patient with puppies and energetic dogs who need extra playtime and attention, and I’m equally happy caring for older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. I take the time to learn your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to care for your fur baby the same way I would want someone to care for my own, like part of the family. I’m a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I’m able to provide plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and companionship. Since I have dogs of my own, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. Your pup will be treated like part of the family while staying with me! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a clean, loving, and supervised home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where they can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and playtime, as well as a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take the time to help each pet feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their home, but I also have the ability to keep them separate from guest dogs if needed. This allows me to accommodate dogs who may prefer their own space or need a calmer environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while staying in my home.

We enjoyed our vacation even more knowing that our cats were well-taken care of. Bianca was also pleasant to interview and felt she was a kind person. I highly recommend her.”

She texted me updates and confirmed details about the visit. She was so sweet and empathetic towards Mylo. I am thankful for her availability since my schedule is so busy. Overall 10/10. We are thankful to have her as our new dog walker :)”

About: I've care for pets my whole life, I have hands-on experience feeding them, playing, walking them, providing companionship, and making sure they feel safe and confortable. While this will be my first experience as a pet caregiver, I'm responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals. I treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. I am a musician and I currently work from home in my own projects so i have plenty of time to dedicate to my pets and my pet sitting. I take extra care in providinig my pets with a safe environment at home, I make sure they know this is their home and can feel at ease and happy. I undestand the importance of ensuring that pets feel confortable and safe.

About: Boarding Services- dogs 0 to 20 pounds. I grew up in a household that always had multiple dogs and was actively involved in their care, including feeding, bathing, walking, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have been caring for dogs for over 25 years and has always been a natural part of my life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your loved family member. I work part-time remotely, which means your pet will get tons of cuddles, playtime, and supervision throughout the day! I may occasionally step out for short errands, but I am never away for more than a couple of hours at a time. Your pet will always receive attentive, loving care in a safe environment. • ☀️ Morning Routine (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): We kickstart the day with a refreshing morning walk to stretch those legs and take care of business. This is followed by breakfast, fresh water, and any morning medications your pup requires. • 🎾 Midday & Afternoon (12:00 AM - 2:00 PM): Afternoon potty break and mental stimulation-just as important as physical exercise! We spend this time also playing fetch in a secure area and playing with puzzle toys/snuffle mat. Afterward, they get plenty of time to lounge, nap, and relax. • 🌇 Early Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): It's time for another potty break and dinner. If your dog has high energy, this is a great time for a longer evening walk or a trip to a local, nearby park if permitted. • 🌙 Wind Down (8:00 PM - 9:00 PM): We wrap up the day with a final short walk before bedtime. Then, it's quality cuddle and belly rub time on the couch before lights out! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where your dog will receive personalized attention and care. My goal is to have your pet feel happy and secure, whether they are in their home or mine. I have been a pet owner my entire life and have been relied upon by friends, family, and neighbors for pet care for the past 25 years. My practical, hands-on experience has taught me patience, reliability, and how to anticipate a pet's needs and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with various breeds and temperaments and committed to upholding the highest standard of care.

“Joanne was AMAZING with our lil ones. We never had someone come over to take care of them other than close family, so we were a little worried but Joanne gave us the confidence with excellent communication, always on time and sending us pictures. Thanks to her we were able to enjoy our vacation! We appreciate it so much. We will definitely be booking again. Super highly recommended!”

Jiajia did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She made sure she had all the information and practiced giving my cat medicine before we left. She spent time with my more social cat and I was so surprised to see that my very shy cat that usually hides came out to see her and ask for pets. She is a wonderful cat sitter and I would definitely recommend her and hire her again.

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!

Barbara has looked after our cats for years now. She does a great job of providing exceptional care. She is a great at communicating and very thorough in her care. This trip she helped me with a perishable delivery that i scheduled incorrectly when I wasn't home. All items were refrigerated by Barbara. This is obviously not in the job description but Barbara was happy to help. She goes above and beyond the role of just drop in visits. If you are looking for the best look no further than Barbara.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kenilworth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kenilworth is $29 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 27,177 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.

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
  • 87% 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.

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.
