“Stephani was such a wonderful sitter for our handful of dogs, that have their various needs (i.e., prescriptions) and strong personalities being huskies. Our doggos seemed instantly calm with her during the meet and greet, and when we returned they didn't want to leave her side. We are so appreciative of her staying with them and giving them such love and care!”
“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”
“I can't find enough words to express how amazing Sarah is with my old dog. Boomer is 14, set in his ways, and Sarah took wonderful care of him. Boomer was happy, puppy-like and content with Sarah. She walked him 2 times a day, fed him at mealtime, administered his meds and so much more. I would not hesitate to have her again!”
“Aryana is fantastic. She brings a calm, patient, and kind energy that is perfect match for my high-spirited lab, Dragon. Beyond her wonderful way with animals, she is organized, professional, and super responsive. The detailed info she provided was much appreciated. I highly recommend her.”
“Lindsey is awesome! Both of our dogs and our cat were comfortable around Lindsey within 10 minutes of the initial meet and greet. She is clearly very experienced with pets and their response to Lindsey let us know she was just the right person to care for our fur babies while we were on a trip. Lindsey provided regular updates and was awesome about keeping to their normal routine. She will be our go to person for all future trips! The best!!”
“Menaces was attentive, thoughtful and so kind to our babies! She sent lots of pics and updates and made us feel confident they were in good hands. She left our house clean and taken care of. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Baylee was a great sitter! She was very easy to communicate with before and during the stay. The animals warmed up to her very quickly and were well taken care of. She sent lots of photos each day, which we always appreciate! Would book with Baylee again.”
About: I have had pets my entire life including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and gerbils! I currently have a Shetland Sheepdog who does best as the only pet, but I really miss caring for cats and other small creatures. I have experience pet sitting a variety of animals including cats, dogs, fish, chickens, parakeets and parrots. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make multiple visits to your home per day to ensure your pet is doing well! I can do very early mornings or late nights as well, if preferred or needed. I have experience caring for pets in others homes and make sure all tasks are completed and to spend some time with your pet at each visit.
About: When I was a kid I had birds, fish, a hamster, and a black cat named Tova who was my absolute world! When I was 12, I moved in with my grandmother who was a former poodle groomer. She had 2 standard show poodles. I learned a lot about dogs from her. I took junior handling classes weekly and trained them (Ellie & Grace) from puppies. That was when I grew to be both a cat and dog lover! Now I am 35 and work as a professional horticulturist caring for 3500 tropical plants. I also worked at the Amazon Spheres and frequently helped with the fish tanks. Taking care of living things is my passion. Right now, I have a poison dart frog named Todd who I raised from a tadpole - so I have some experience with exotics as well. I frequently pet and house sit for friends and colleagues. Most recently I boarded 2 bunnies at my house for my coworker. I have also done extended house sitting for 2 senior dogs who required daily medication, my bosses cat, and my real estate agent’s Cavalier King Charles puppy. Since I was a kid, animals have always felt very comfortable around me - even the skittish ones! I am on medical leave from work right now and am looking to fill my days giving animals love while making a little extra cash. My schedule is very open. Whether you’re just looking for someone to stop by and feed, walk, or spend some quality time playing with your furry friends, I’m here to help. If you have any questions, please reach out! I can provide references. I’m currently on leave from work so my schedule is open and flexible. If the weather is nice I typically work in the garden in the late afternoon so your pets can hang out with me outside (if you want!). I generally do not like to leave dogs in the garden unsupervised but I can let them out multiple times a day. I can also take them to the park or bring them with me on my evening walks. My home has a fully-fenced in yard with grass. I only have a frog in an enclosed terrarium in my bedroom so your pets are free to roam and make themselves at home. If I am coming to your home I may need to leave occasionally for morning or afternoon appointments but I am happy to stay and hang out with your pets, take them for morning and evening walks, etc. I will leave your home clean and as I found it.
“Beau was very communicative and sent picture updates which really put our mind at ease when we were away. They provided excellent care for our dogs and were very conscientious and left our place clean when they left.”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Michelle... although I'd love to say nothing and keep her all to ourselves. ;) Our Bernese mountain dog and cat absolutely adore her, and she takes the best care of them. We always get the most thoughtful daily updates from her, as well as exceptional photos to give us peace of mind that they are while taken care of. We came home to a spotless house, and she even laundered all of the linens from while she stayed here. Above and beyond as always!”
About: We have experience raising puppy and we also have taken puppy classes (our dog is kindergarten and elementary level certified). We have plenty of experience of dogs stay overnight (our friends' dogs). A typical day in our routine starts with a morning walk before we start work. In the afternoon, we sometimes will go for another walk if work is not busy and before going to bed, we will go for a walk before bed. We have a fenced yard and super friendly Cavapoo who can keep company with your dog. Our neighborhood is large, quiet and peaceful, we usually walk my dog in the neighborhood during weekdays. On weekends we will bring my dog to the dog park
“Laney did great with our pets! She was very responsive to our texts, sent updates and pictures when requested, and left the house clean for our return. She gave the dogs lots of outside time, and gave all the animals lots of love and snuggles. We'd absolutely book her again for future trips.”
“Elle was such a professional, she asked plenty of questions during our consultation that I knew I was leaving my two pups in good hands. Our senior dog has mobility issues and she took great care of him as well as our other dog. We received updates and they both look well cared for. She also took excellent care of the house while on our trip. Would definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog parent, on and off, since 2006 from 5lbs to 90lbs dogs. I am confident, patient, & praise positive reinforcements for best communication. Open availability. I work remotely full-time and control my own schedule. All my services are available throughout the week and weekends for one-time or ongoing. We have a gated balcony on our second floor unit and pet friendly environment in our complex. Easy access to walking trails and Marymoor park. My 3 year-old helps with feeding, play, walks, and cuddles. During the day between 10-6pm we have the option of daycare or grandparent’s care and some weekends if necessary. We have hardwood floors with a few area rugs. We allow dogs on couch and bed if preferred.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kenmore is $65
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kenmore
Amazing experience! 10 Star Review! Responsive, communicative, kind, cared for my dog and my home . She was a life saver in a very odd dog watching fiasco (friend stayed and then left before the sitting was done). I was out of of the country traveling and needed someone to step in for and care for my senior dog. She made it happen and returned my piece of mind during a very stressful situation. I am very grateful for her service. Great experience!
Tyler went above and beyond when I had to find a last minute rover for a medical emergency. He did great with my anxious senior dog, even though we were unable to have a meet and greet. He helped with sheets and putting groceries away so things were ready after I got home from surgery
Brynna house sat for us for ten days, taking care of our Rottie mix and two cats. She was willing to come over early in the morning the day we left, was responsive, and sent photos every day. Everyone was well taken care of and she left the house in amazing condition. We'd love to have her back in the future for the peace of mind he gave us!
Never a worry when we're away and Shannon is here! She goes above and beyond for our boy. THANK YOU, it was lovely to have you stay with Rory while we were gone. She even did a few extras for us, way above the scope of dog sitting. You rock, can't reccomended enough
Aasha has a very loving, calming and joyful personality. She sat Toby as if he was her own. She took care of our house well and made sure Toby was cared for at all times. We would absolutely recommend Aasha and definitely looking to call her back. Thanks Aasha!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Neomi provided for our three dogs while we were out of the country! She took such wonderful care of our pets, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared about making sure our dogs were happy and well cared for. On top of that, we came home to an incredibly clean house, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated bonus. We’re so grateful to Neomi for her excellent care and attention to detail. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring pet sitter. We would definitely book her again!
We were in town for a wedding weekend and needed help with our pup, Phoebe. She gets into trouble if left alone for too long and we were in an AirBnB—unfamiliar territory. Claire came to help both evenings and hung out with Phoebe making sure she was safe and sound. She was on time and responsive, sent pics while we were at our events. Wouldn’t hesitate to have Claire help again if we needed it! Thanks Claire and best of luck in your studies.
Bev asked excellent questions in preparation for sitting our energetic spaniel Cash. We felt completely comfortable that she knew how to feed and walk him and keep him comfortable with her good company. She is thoroughly professional, and we look forward to having her services again. She is such a nice person that it is a pleasure to know her.
Kaitlin took great care of Sully and Mia while we were away! She was thorough, asked all the right questions upfront, and communicated really well throughout the stay. We felt totally comfortable knowing they were in good hands and came home to two very happy dogs. Would definitely book Kaitlin again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kenmore is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $110 per night. 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 7,377 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 , 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 .
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 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.
