“Sue did a great job watching my dog and house sitting. My dog and house were the same way I left them after leaving for 5 days. In addition, when my plane was cancelled and I had to take a later flight, Sue stepped up and stayed at my house a few hours later then what was scheduled. Sue is a reliable sitter.”
“Chibi is a very sensitive Chiweeenie and we needed someone caring, compassionate, and trustworthy while we were away on vacation. Shannon has the characteristics we were seeking. She was very kind to Chibi, responsive to us, and took very good care of our home while we were on vacation. She also took care of extra home related tasks for us. When we came home we could tell Chibi was taken care of very well. We felt completely comfortable while we were away that Chibi was in good hands.”
“Joshua was wonderful with our 11 year old cattle dog. He took her out for daily walks and sent us photos and updates each day. He took excellent care of our home and allowed us to enjoy our trip worry free. Thank you!”
“Arwen was gentle and patient with our cats and was a responsible and trustworthy sitter. Arwen provided updates along with beautifully taken photos, and also left our place clean and tidy. We would love to have Arwen cat sit for us again!”
“Kory was Fantastic! We have two dogs, one of which is barely a year old. They have very spirited play and need separate walks, plus we have a cat who is picky about people, and we as pet parents are very anxious. Kory send many updates, great pics, was very thoughtful about their enrichment and getting to know them, and was very communicative about even small changes in behavior or digestion. Plus they left our house in great condition. We will absolutely keep booking with Kory!”
“Jean did a great job taking care of our fur babies! I know because they were SO excited to see her when she came by to return our key. And the puppy whined by the front door after she left (but not for too long!!).”
“Jessica was great with my dog Sebastian! She asked great questions during our initial meet and greet and provided many updates throughout her stay with pictures. Sebastian is a bit reactive to other dogs and Jessica was able to navigate around his personality and needs. Would definitely recommend Jessica as a pet sitter”
“Mary Ann took such great care of our sweet pups and our home while we were away. She sent updates and pictures of our dogs regularly which made us feel so much better about having to leave our newly adopted dog for a few days. I am so thankful we found Mary Ann and will definitely rebook with her!”
“Sydney took great care of Whitney, our high-energy chocolate lab. Sydney house-sat and took Whitney on 4 daily bathroom breaks, and some of these included long neighborhood walks, Ocean Beach and Fort Funston, an 8mi hike in Oakland Regional state park. Since Whitney jumps into water, Sydney also bathed Whitney at least once, and maybe even more I don't know about. Before Sydney left our apartment, she cleaned and organized the apartment. Thanks Sydney!”
About: I started working with animals in high school, accruing hundreds of volunteer hours at my local animal shelter, where I honed in on my passion for pet care. As I transitioned to university life, I started walking dogs on the weekends, and really enjoy getting to hang out and provide for other people's pets. I have open availability through most of the week, and for late-evening drop ins over the weekends. This allows me a lot of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your pets. Communication is key, and I strive to ensure all preferences are met during my visit/walk with your pet! I will frequently send updates, such as photos from during my visit/walk, and a little blurb about what your pet and I got up!
“Katherine is great! I could tell within minutes of meeting her that she was capable and dependable. She sent pictures of our Riley during her stay, washed the sheets, and offered to come back if we got stuck in traffic. I can’t say enough good things and we will definitely be booking her again soon!”
“Chelsea loves animals, and animals love Chelsea! Chelsea is an excellent house sitter, drop-in sitter, dog walker, pet care person of all stripes! We highly recommend her as safe and efficient. Our little dog simply loves her!”
“Jenna was wonderful! From the moment we began corresponding, she was attentive and knowledgeable and friendly. She was so patient and gentle with our senior pup, and she made us feel so relaxed knowing our dog and our home were in such good hands. Jenna went above and beyond in so many different ways - making sure our dog got all of her meds, not an easy feat; finding creative ways to encourage her to eat when she was being finicky; communicating regularly with pictures and updates, and not hesitating to reach out with any questions or concerns. Jenna left our house spotless, like she hadn't spent over a week there, and her attentive touches to our home did not go unnoticed. I'm so grateful to her for making my trip as relaxing as it was. Jenna feels more like a friend than a dog sitter. She's trustful and kind, and I can't recommend her enough!”
“Erica did amazing with our pup Odie! Easy to setup meet & greet, great communication and followed all instructions which included some extra stuff for a sprained knee.”
“I am so thankful for Jean & Elena. They take amazing care of my dog and home while I'm away. My 4yr old golden used to be stressed for days after I left for a weekend and he was in a kennel, but now he does great!”
“Annie house sit our little Dachshund Ollie for a week while we were out of the state. She went above and beyond in making sure Ollie was comfortable and happy. He warmed up to her right away which usually takes a little more time. Annie sent us daily pictures and updates which was much appreciated. Not to mention she was able to squeeze in daily walks and extra cuddling!😊 We highly recommend Annie and hope to have her doggy sit again in the future.”
“Mekades watched out girl first a week. She’s a border collie and attached to her humans which means she’s prone to anxiety. Mekades was amazing our girl was calm and happy. She had the magic touch and it was appreciated more than we can write in a tiny review. We will definitely ask for her again. Thank you Mekades!!!”
“Kino got along really well with my quirky guy, John, and sent pictures letting me know he was doing well. She also looked after our chickens and made sure they had plenty of water on some hot days. I'd absolutely have Kino house/dog/chicken sit again!”
“Wow! I was Very Very happy with Baylee’s services. I was nervous going with someone I didn’t personally know because I have had a lot of people bail in the past or not give the care I want but Baylee went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone!”

Really appreciated Chelsea so much. The dogs were spoiled as requested! She sent lots of updates and photos and I felt very secure while I was gone. When I got home, the house was super tidy - like no one had stayed here. If she’ll have us, we’ll definitely rely use her again!
Kimberly was fantastic. We had been skeptical due to stories we had heard from other friends. However, Kimberly took better care of Chase than we do! She was incredibly thoughtful and considerate of his needs and daily routine. She gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was being cared for and provided daily check ins which were amazing. We will absolutely we using Kimberly again!
Tyler was an excellent and respectful caretaker of my two dogs and home while I was away for the first time in 4 years! He responded promptly every time I reached out and kept me updated on the dogs during my absence. He proved to be a responsible and trustworthy young man, two thumbs up!
Stephani was amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our pup, Albus, in her care. It was clear that Albus loved spending time with her and was very well cared for. She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated and gave us so much peace of mind. She also took great care of our home. We couldn’t recommend her more—10/10! Albus can’t wait for his next stay with Stephani!
Shae was so thoughtful and loving with our girls. Our pup has some layered medical needs and with Shae’s experience, we were able to sleep soundly while gone. She managed the two of them so well, and clarified and checked in to make sure on both pet sitting and house sitting concerns. Would rebook her in a heartbeat!
Cindy was an amazing dog sitter! She took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I could tell my dog felt safe and loved with her. I really appreciated her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kenmore on Rover is $53.39 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,574 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.

- 94% 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.
