“Julie is top notch. She sent us pictures and updates everyday. Made sure to let me know how much Blake ate and drank while we were gone. Our house looked exactly the way we left it when we got home. I have already recommended her to family and friends. Thank you again Julie Tammy, Scott and Blake ❤️”
“We found a gem in Tara! She stayed at our home and took excellent care of our furry family members. Tara was very respectful of our house and provided wonderful care for our fur babies. We look forward to having her back for future sittings.”
“Pam took great care of Kobe, with continual updates and photos. It was clear she was very attentive and cared about his well-being. Our house was immaculate upon our return, and Kobe was happily tired out! We will definitely rebook with her!”
“Andrew took very good care of my fur babies! He was courteous, caring and communicative! I had no worries with leaving Scooch and Tank in his knowledgeable care. My senior pup has mobility issues and it was great knowing he was in very good hands!”
“Kyle was extremely attentive, punctual and took special care of our senior dog while we were away for an overnight trip. This was our first Rover experience and won't be our last - we highly recommend him!”
“Paige has house sat for our animals twice now, and she has been fantastic! The communication and care she gives them has always been a huge relief when we go away on trips.”
“Katie is a phenomenal sitter and walker. We have 2 frenchies, one of which a recent rescue. She cared for them for a week and took such good care of them while we were gone. Both dogs just love her and became so sweet and comfortable with her. She checked in with us multiple times each day with pics and updates! She’s the perfect house guest, super helpful with small tasks like garbage and mail. Kept the house tidy while we were gone! She’s our go to for our pups!”
“He met with us with little lead time, when I was tight on needing a new sitter. My dog was immediately comfortable with him. He was proactive with letting me know of any issues. A huge plus was his flexibility to work with my schedule.”
“this was my first time using rover and i was nervous, but joanna made the process so easy! she is a very nice person and respectful house guest. she even got my dog to walk nicely on her leash! i was so impressed! i would definitely would recommend joanna to anyone”
“Makinzie was amazing with Clark. She was so respectful, responsive and kind- definitely a pup lover and he loved her back! Will definitely use her services again! Thank you Makinzie”
“Austin stepped in during an emergency situation, where I had to get rid of the sitter I was currently using WHILE I was still away on a trip. He dove head first into the sticky situation with very little details and instructions on my dogs! He was amazing and reassured my mind after a horrible experience while I was still away for 24 hours.”
“Tim is responsible and compassionate and was absolutely terrific with our standard poodle. We’ve used him several times and had absolutely full confidence that his three day stay with our beloved canine would go well. And it certainly did. House was left in immaculate order and our Louie was sad to see Tim go. We can definitely recommend Tim to others.”
About: We have lots of experience with dogs, cats and many other types of animals! Large property with room to run, we have several horses and goats on site. Family care in our home (with children). Experience working as a vet tech including first aid, animal grooming, training and behavior, and as an animal chiropractor for ~15 years. We do have a kennel license through the state and as such, we require a copy of your current rabies vaccine and dog license (easy to do and only about $12 online!). Question on this? Just ask! We have several older children who help out with daily care, walks, and feeding. One parent is stay at home and the other parent works flexible hours. We have a large house for dogs to roam and play throughout the day. Sleeping can be in a kennel or snuggled with us in bed--whatevert you prefer. Large outdoor spaces to roam and we love to take walks in the neighborhood.
About: I have raised pets for years and nursed puppies and kittens of all ages. I personally have 1 dog and 4 cats currently. I’ve trained my own dogs to be well mannered and good tempered while making sure they have plenty of room for fun. I treat all of my pets like children and make sure they are all taken care of as well as I can. I have experience with raising dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. Every animal has their own personality and I have never come in contact with a pet that I’ve felt is too much. Patience is a virtue with all new animals and I make it a goal to make them feel comfortable with me. Our dog consistently goes on hikes with us. We force her on runs even as she gets older. She is 8 now and we keep her moving. They get very consistent play at home and occasionally I force my cats up from naps. Loves of love and pets, many forced cuddles from the animals.
“Alexis was wonderful! The dogs were happy as seen in the pictures she sent and we had a clean home when we got back. She even went into our basement after a big storm to soak up water that came in. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kenilworth is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kenilworth
Pamela was exceptional! We were worried about leaving our anxious girl, but within a day of Pamela arriving it was clear we didn’t have anything to be worried about. She took our pup on adventures, snuggled her, and gave her the best two weeks. Pamela was kind and communicative throughout the whole process and was just an absolute delight to have in our home with our dog. 100% recommend her to be your pet’s new favorite person!!
We had a great experience with Timothy. He was very responsive, reliable, and took great care of our pets. Communication was easy throughout, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend him and would be happy to have him sit for us again.
Betty was amazing with our pack. She sent daily updates and pictures, took care of the house, and cleaned so we wouldn’t have to do anything when we got home. I appreciate knowing that our babies were with someone so caring and attentive and I hope that she will be our sitter for any future trip we need to go on.
We had an excellent experience with Grace! She stayed at our home with Kobe for 4 nights. From the start, she clearly cared about my dog's well-being. Grace even came to visit and meet Kobe prior to our trip; upon our request, because we do not regularly leave him except with family. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while we were away. My dog was happy, well-exercised, and comfortable when I returned home. (and our house was spotless!) Grace followed all care instructions and went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt safe and loved. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with Grace again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kenilworth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kenilworth on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,477 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kenilworth. 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 Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth 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 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!
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.

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.
