“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!”
“Laurel hung out with Lexi at our house for a long day while I was out of town. This was Lexi's first time with a pet sitter and I wasn't sure how it would go. Laurel sent a bunch of cute photos and videos of Lex”
“Kira was an amazing dog sitter! One of our dogs has separation anxiety, and Kira did a great job keeping her calm and cared for. They also asked a lot of great questions to make sure they had all of the information they needed about our dogs while we were gone. They sent us pictures of the dogs and gave status updates while we were gone which was really appreciated! They were very flexible with time too, I was able to book them with just a few days notice, and had to stay out later than expected which was no problem for them. Overall it was a great experience, our pups seemed very happy. Thanks Kira! <3”
“Arwen was a great first sitter for our kitten who got plenty on cuddles from her. She also respected Barfi's boundaries and was attentive to her needs. She was on time, flexible and communicative. We'd love to have her again!”
“I have a reactive dog who struggles to meet new people, especially men. And wow! I was totally blown away by how Robert used such confidence and gentleness with my dog. He was able to snag Winston to the dog park for the first time in years successfully. I am honestly so grateful and surprised to have found such a solid dog sitter. I cannot recommend booking him enough!!”
“Shannon was the penultimate professional. She cared for our pup for 2 weeks and communicated daily with pictures of their activities. As a bonus, she also left the house immaculate. Highly recommend!”
“Anja took on our 5 month old puppy for the first time for one night. It was our first time leaving her (and our 12yo cat). All went well. She took our pup for a walk that seemed to tire her out from the looks of the pictures she sent. All was in order when we came home.”
“Tyler was AMAZING. This was the first time I've hired him and can't say enough about how much I trusted him with all my pets while I was away. He was incredibly communicative - more so than any Rover sitter I've had before. He took such great care of the house and left it spotless (massively appreciated but totally not expected). With two cats and two dogs, I rarely come home to a clean house. I will absolutely hire him again without hesitation!”
“Julianne was a great house sitter / pet sitter for our kitty. She cared for him during a nearly 3 week vacation in May 2024. She stayed in communication with us throughout the trip and always gave me a sense that our cat was cared for with affection and love. Took great care of our house and yard which doesn’t require a whole lot but was a comfort while we were away. I especially appreciated that Julianne is retired and could really spend most of her time here. Highly recommended!”
“Erica was FANTASTIC with my boys!!! One of them was injured prior to the stay, but she followed all of my instructions to take care of him, took excellent care of my other dog, and was extremely respective of my home. I wouldn't hesitate to have her back. Thanks so much, Erica! My boys and I really appreciate you!”
“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!”
“Jean was the perfect companion for our Greyhound, Neo, who needed company for a few hours while we were away! We felt perfectly comfortable leaving him in her hands.”
“Zephyr and Billie stayed with my sweet seniors a whole week while I was in Germany for my sister's wedding. Zephyr sent great updates and photos so I wasn’t ever worried and I could totally focus on my sis and all the wedding festivities . They went above and beyond: Simba had a wound that needed to be cleaned (we noticed it the day we left!) and they even stayed an extra night when our flight home was cancelled. I got home to two very relaxed and happy dogs. I’m very grateful!”
“Kristy was phenomenal!! My dog, Mochi, was clearly very well taken care of, along with my house. Kristy provided multiple updates throughout the day, was very thorough in her questions about care, and was always responsive. Mochi can be quite reactive to other dogs and Kristy did a great job managing this and letting him have fun on walks. It was truly so nice to have peace of mind during my time away - including over 4th of July! Will be booking again for sure and would highly recommend : )”
“Zachary did an exceptional job on watching all my fur babies. He followed directions for care perfectly. I highly recommend him for a sitter for both dogs and cats. I look forward to booking him in the future.”
About: I am a seasoned live-in pet sitter (dogs and cats) with years of trusted care. My own pet is a german shepherd I have raised and trained since puppyhood. I am a mature, reliable, and experienced live-in house and pet sitter with many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and even horses. After retiring from teaching, I moved to the area to be closer to my grandchildren and now live in a condo, which meant leaving my beloved dog with my son. I truly miss the daily companionship of animals and would love to provide attentive, loving care for your pets while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust in your home, and I take pride in being respectful, responsible, and detail-oriented—keeping your home secure and your pets comfortable, happy, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. I try to care for pets and homes as if they were my own. I’m calm, attentive, and focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment, while maintaining their routines. You can travel with peace of mind knowing your home will be respected and your pets will receive loving, reliable care.
About: I am a detail oriented sitter and I care about sticking to the care plan. I like playing with pets, so they're sure to get enough exercise! I am a cat owner, so it is part of my daily routine to take care of them. Pets are a priority, especially when it comes to feeding properly. I live in an apartment and have indoor cats. They receive a kibble for indoor cats and water daily as needed. They each have their own litter box in different rooms. I have a variety of toys for them.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats for most of my life. I own 1 husky mix named Kona. I’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets for a few years now! I am willing to accommodate needs for your furry family! As a college student, I have a range of class schedules, but I will make the time to be able to care and play for your pet! I do not provide boarding, but I can do overnight care in your home! I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I am very willing to learn how to care and play with your pet.

Haley was great with my 3 pups! I was nervous to leave them but she took great care of them while I was gone. She did a meet and greet beforehand which helped me feel comfortable and also helped the dogs feel familiar with her prior to my trip. She dog sat them at my home and even placed the trash out on the curb for it to be picked up without having to be asked. Highly recommend!
Stephani was so wonderful and my pets. Stephani stayed over to take care of my animal pack while I was away, she checked in as often as we agreed and sent pictures of activities along the week. I have two cats and one small dog and when I returned everyone was happy.
Kim was absolutely fantastic! We felt so comfortable with her staying over night with our 2 frenchies. She took amazing care of them and treated our home as if it was her own. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Kim again and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Kim! The doggies can’t wait to see you again!
Brynna is absolutely amazing! She was the perfect person for Phoebe and Cyrus. She took very good care of them and the house in our absence. She kept us updated about everything, and even when we got late, she extended her stay without any hesitation, to make sure that our fur babies were well taken care of. Thank you so much for everything! You were truly amazing!
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!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kenmore
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kenmore on Rover is $53.5 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 7,575 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
