“Jackie stayed the night with both of our larger dogs on a holiday. Her communication was fantastic and she was also happy to meet the dogs before officially scheduling the stay. Would book again!”
“Haley was wonderful! She was a respectful house guest. She gave us updates and sent photos of our dogs through out her stay. She was very thorough in her questions getting to know our dogs and their routine. She was overall great to work with. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Judith treated our pup, Rayne, with all the attention she has been craving since our son was born! She also treated our elusive outdoor cat and many plants with the utmost care. We will definitely rebook Judith if she is available the next time we need a house sitter for our fur and plant babies!!”
“Ezra is AMAZING!! I cannot recommend them enough!! My dog and I have been absolutely spoiled by their care! Ezra is the sweetest human you will ever meet and they genuinely love animals! Ezra went above and beyond to put not only my dog (a senior citizen with separation anxiety) at ease but myself as well!! Ezra only watched my dog for about 9 hours but the two of them had many great adventures. As well as a long romp in the snow. Ezra was always quick to respond to me (before, during and after my booking) and really took the time to reassured me. They also sent me a plethora of pictures of their activities together. If I am ever in the area again I will without a doubt be booking with Ezra again!!”
“We booked Brittany for dog sitting and Brittany was so great with our dog! We have a large Siberian Husky who is very active can be difficult but Brittany was great with him. She took him on multiple walks a day, played with him, and updated us with pictures of him while we were away!”
“Marideth was fantastic! Very kind and responsive. She watched our 10 yr.old Jack Russell Bandit during our weekend away and kept everything in order & our Bandit had a great time! We would definitely book her services again.”

“Marti is such an excellent dog sitter and a truly nice person. Our dog is elderly, hard of hearing, visually impaired, and on a special low protein diet. Marti came to our home to care for Samson for 9 days, and care for him she did! She loved him like we do, making sure all his needs were met. She sent us lots of pictures throughout each day, and she let us know if she needed to leave him for even a couple hours. I recommend Marti without any reservations at all. She is the best!”
“The BEST!! Izzy watched my two dogs and one cat and she is amazing! Sent many pictures and videos making me feel very connected to them while I was away. GREAT communication skills, such a nice person, who clearly loves animals and gives them love and care. I am SO glad I found Izzy and plan to use her every time I can! Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kenmore
Jennifer did a great job taking care of our 2 senior dogs, she followed all my directions and gave my pups extra attention !! This was our first time using rover and and so glad we found a trustworthy person definitely recommend Jennifer for taking care of your animals 😊
Izzy took great care of my boy and the house. She goes above and beyond and really loves animals... You can just tell. I appreciated all the picture updates and made me happy to see that he was being cared for because it's so hard to leave him when we have to go away. I highly recommend Izzy for any of your pet's needs. She's amazing!.
Timothy was great! Very nice and easy to communicate with. Took care of our two large dogs and was able to give them their medicine as prescribed. Gave us peace of mind while we were out of town that our animals and house were well taken care of. He left the house in a cleaner state than when we left which is hard to do with a shedding husky. We will be using him again whenever we’re out of town.
Ezra was great with Coco! Immediately on entering our house they were calm and knew how to make our girl feel at ease with a new person (not easy - my dog is mostly cattle dog and they are suspicious of almost everyone). Ezra was responsive and thorough. Looking forward to calling them again!
Amanda was wonderful. It was my first time using Rover and she put my mind at ease. She came over, met the dogs before housesitting. The dogs looked really happy in the picture she sent - even my skeptical dog had her tongue hanging out. Already booked Amanda again!
Bri was wonderful with our senior dog. As our dog has gotten older, it has become trickier to find someone we trust to leave her with— anxiety inducing for both us and the dog! But we felt great leaving her with Bri and came home to a very happy pup. Bri was very communicative and gave us lots of updates. We look forward to booking with her again!
We couldn't have asked for a better person to watch Dug at the house as we travelled this past weekend. From the meet and greet to the end of stay, Amy was a true gem. She contacted us upon arrival at the house, kept us informed throughout the 2 days with text messages and pictures, and cleaned up the house before leaving. Coming home to a happy dog and a clean house was very much appreciated. I would give Amy a 5+ Star rating if it went higher.
Christina was wonderful! She was very responsive, arrived on time, and was so great with Bruce! She has a lot of experience with dog/house sitting and I felt very comfortable leaving Bruce in her hands. Will definitely be using Christina again in the future. Thank you!!!
Alexis is amazing! We were in town for our wedding and needed a sitter last minute. She came through and even went out of her way to travel a little further outside of her area to help us out with our girls! They loved her right away. She kept us updated with pics. Would definitely reach out again if we ever are in town and need a sitter! Thank you so much for everything!! -Rachael and Ben

FAQs for House Sitting - Kenmore
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kenmore on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 580 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kenmore. 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 Kenmore 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 Kenmore 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 Kenmore 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kenmore. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 87% 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.
