“Jackie was great! Right from the meet and greet through to my return, I was confident my dogs were in good hands. My Mercy is very suspicious of new people, but warmed up to Jackie within minutes. I was confident Mercy and Lainie were in good hands. Jackie even took Lainie to playgroup (Mercy would not go, and that was fine). I was amazed at the condition of the dogs and house upon my return as they were immaculate! I would highly recommend Jackie to everyone interested in a dog/house sitter!”
“Christina did an amazing job watching our three senior dogs while staying at our house. She sent pictures and videos and was very responsive. We will definitely be using her going forward!”
“We are so happy we found Kendra. She has watched our 3 dogs, including one who needs some extra attention several times and has taken such great care of them. She sends lots of pictures and updates so you know they are ok. I would highly recommend her to any of our friends and family. Hopefully she will consider sitting for us again in the future.”
“I found Izzy at the perfect time. We needed a last minute sitter and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent us awesome updates and loved on our sometimes selective pup. You could tell he felt so safe with her and we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Already telling everyone I know to book with Izzy!”
“Wow! 🤩 Noelle is deserving of ONE MILLION stars! She cared for my two senior and special needs dogs like they were her own! Going above and beyond with their special diet, schedule and administering insulin shots. BONUS: it look like housekeeping showed up before I arrived. Already rebooked for future dates 🌟”
“Emma was great! So easy to communicate with, arrived on time and took the best care of Bruce! Sent lots of updates and made me very comfortable. Would be happy to have Bruce hang with her again sometime soon!”
“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!!”
About: I do not have a pet on my own due to my frequent travel schedule but that only means that your pet will get that extra love I have to share. I am caring and attentive, I notice the little things—each pet’s quirks, moods, and routines—and respond with patience. Your little or big friend will not get bored while in my care. I am a drafter working for an architectural company in Cheektowaga, my schedule is 8-5 every weekday. I love long walks after work in the evening, so don’t hesitate to shoot me a message even if the walk is needed within an hour! I will do my best to comfort your pet while you are away, I can play and train them, go on long walks, also if needed I can take a dog to a dog park or to vet appontments.
“Jose was a real super trooper taking care of our fur babies. The perfect combination of attention to detail and warmth toward Penny and Rocky. He really went the extra mile to take care of our place during some heavy storms. It was great to come home to a warm and inviting house. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience with seizures and strokes in dogs, am able to administer any kind of medication, and have some experience with animals struggling with anxiety. I am a graduate student just looking for some fulfilling part time work. I am available at any point during the weekdays and after October 31st on the weekends I will not be able to host any animals, but I plan on prioritizing the pet’s comfort within their own home and making sure all needs are met
“Timothy was awesome. Covered on short notice for a holiday weekend, let me know what was going on when I asked for updates, and left my place exactly as I found it. 100% would book again.”
About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.
About: I’ve always had a lot of dogs in my growing up, and have had to help take care of them. For the last 3 years I’ve dog sat for multiple different families. I am currently working full time day shift. I have plenty of time in the afternoon on weekdays to walk dogs and also have a lot of availability on the weekends. I am very comfortable caring for dogs in other peoples home. I have house sit and dog sit for multiple different people I’ve the last few years.
“Alysa was amazing! She sent us pictures everyday of our fur babies, clearly communicated & answered us when we reached out. My babies were all so calm & happy when we came home. She kept the house while we were away. She was amazing and we will definitely be using her again!”
About: My biggest concern while I’m away on vacation is “how are my dogs doing?” They are like my children. I have used Rover in the past to watch my dogs and home while I’m on vacation. I want to be that trustworthy person for someone else. I have ALWAYS been an animal lover! I have rescued dogs, I’ve fostered dogs and watched dogs for friends and family. I have two Golden Retrievers at home who love to have company come over and play in the fenced in backyard. I am looking forward to taking care of your Furbaby like they are my own I work Full-time but am able to leave for lunch to take care of any pets needs during the day. Right now I go home everyday on lunch and spend time with my dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and 2 Golden Retrievers who love to have company! At this time, if I watch your dog in my home, he/she would need to be crated while I’m at work. They would be crated no longer than 4 hours unless I make other arrangements with my job, where I could come home more frequently.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kenmore
We had such a great experience with Morgan! She took wonderful care of our girl, Shiloh, even taking her for a little ride and treating her to a pup cup 🐾❤️ She went above and beyond by tidying up the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Shiloh was in such good hands. We truly appreciate the extra care and attention and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!
Madeline was wonderful. Arrived at our house early to put us at ease before our flight. Very kind to our labs and she seemed to enjoy them by sending funny anticdotes or commentary on their behavior. Our pups are super kind but needy with hugs and attention. She was clearly fine with reciprocating hugs and love. She also cared for our house and plants. We would absolutely use her again and plan to!
A great experience overall with our 2 medium sized dogs (shepherd mix & pit bull) along with our cat for a week while we were on vacation. Left our house very clean when we returned and was proactive with communication & responses while we were away. Our shepherd mix is a rescue and he was very sensitive to her "quirks" Highly recommend Timothy and looking forward to booking again!
Rachel did an excellent job taking care of our dogs and cat. She communicated with us at least once a day updating us on the activities of our pets. She did a great job ensuring our pups were comfortable throughout our trip. We would definitely schedule her again to take care of our pets
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!.
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .

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.
