“This was our first time leaving our energetic puppy with a sitter, and Justice made it a breeze. She was incredibly communicative, responding to all of our messages quickly and sending the cutest picture updates. When we came home, our dog was happy, tired out from play, and clearly bonded with her. Highly recommend her services!”

About: My dog is my whole heart, so I treat every pet with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, following routines, and giving lots of affection. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine as a dog mom. I am available for pet care around my work schedule, including select mornings, evenings, and weekends. I make sure every pet in my care receives dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. I am happy to discuss your pet's normal routine beforehand so I can provide care that fits their needs. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate preferences, and any special care needs. I keep pets supervised, secure on walks, and comfortable in their environment. I also believe communication is important, so I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is safe and receiving lots of love.

About: I come from a long line of dog lovers! I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and it’s been a privilege to continue spending my days with my favorite animal. I’ve walked and dogsat for neighbors and family friends since I graduated college in 2021. I’ve also worked at Wonder Dog Studio in Summit, NJ, where I was a Daycare Manager and Driver. So, if your pup loves the car, I’d be happy to take them for a drive! My schedule is very flexible for day time walks and care. I’m also a Stand Up Comedian, whose shows are normally at night, either in NJ or NYC. I’ll always make sure your pup is taken care of before I head out, and have a network of other dog sitters to help me out if needed. I always make sure the pets in my care never feel lonely! I’ll sit on the couch with them while I work, read a book, or watch TV. While staying in someone’s home, I make sure that doors are locked before I head out, as well as leave the TV or music on for anxious pets. Finally, I always make sure to send the owner pictures of their pet at least twice a day!

About: As a veterinary technician and proud dog mom of two Cavaliers, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable for your pets. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I make sure each dog or cat feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they do at home When I’m not at the veterinary clinic, I love spending my extra time caring for pets in my community. With flexible availability during the week and weekends, I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure every walk is secure, every visit is calm, and every animal feels loved and cared for. With experience in a veterinary clinic and as a dog mom myself, I know how to create a safe and happy environment for every pet I meet.

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.

Justice was fantastic with our cats! Justice took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away. She earned their trust quickly while respecting their boundaries, and it was clear she genuinely cared about their wellbeing. She kept the feeding areas and litter boxes clean and sanitary, refilled the automatic feeders while keeping track of a special diet, and took out the trash and recycling. Justice also sent us daily updates with photos, which gave us real peace of mind knowing our cats were happy and well cared for. We'd absolutely book her again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kenilworth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kenilworth on Rover is $28.86 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 27,260 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kenilworth. 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 Kenilworth 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.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kenilworth. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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 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.
