“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.”
“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 took great care of our dog. She was very communicative and sent a lot of photos. She asked questions when needed and when we came home our house was clean and well taken care of and our pup was supper happy.”
“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.”
“We had an outstanding experience with Baylee and will be using her again. She treated our dog, and our house, with great care and respect. We got daily updates from her regarding the daily activities, play, walk, etc. This was our first ti.e using Rover and are very pleased with the experience.”
“Morgan is such a delightful human! One of my dogs was fresh out of surgery and needing constant supervision and reassurance and my other dog has separation anxiety and is very anxious with new people. My older dog loved her instantly and my younger warmed up to her so quickly! It’s very apparent that she’s a fantastic pet parent and brings that same love and care to any dog she’s watching. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her. I came back later to find them all snuggled up together, my dogs sleeping peacefully on her lap. They were so sad when she left!”
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.
“Thank you Barb for your care of my doggo. I appreciate you keeping me updated on how he was doing while I was gone and always checking in if something came up that you thought I should know. I know he was well- cared for which allowed me to have a worry free vacation!”
“First time leaving my newly adopted dog Pablo since we got him and we were a little nervous. Michelle took great care of my Pablo and little Henry 2 pups and we felt so comfortable leaving them with her. She took the time to come before we left to ensure all our questions were answered. She provided daily updates and pictures and my boys looked very very happy with her. When we came back from our trip the house was super clean. Would definitely recommend her in a heart beat and will use her service again in the future”
“Katie was so wonderful with our kitten Penny! They had a lot of playtime and Katie made the sweetest gift for our little girl. She was very accommodating when we confused our timing on her - we will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“We took a week long trip and Laney took great care of our 4yr old corgi as well as did a great job of housesitting while we were away. She met with us twice prior to our trip and was great about communication and sending pictures and videos while we were away, which gave us great assurance that he was being well cared for. When we got home, our dog was so happy to see us and the house was in great shape, mail on our entry table and boxes delivered while away were brought inside. Very pleased!”
“Michelle was hands down one of the best sitters we’ve had! We were incredibly blessed that she was available for a month long at-home sit after another sitter cancelled on us last minute. Michelle was very thorough in terms of understanding our pet care requirements and had clear concise communication that we appreciated. This was very important for us given our diabetic kitty Mijo requires insulin injections and blood glucose testing. Michelle was able to pick this up in no time and smoothly administered all Mijo’s medical needs for a month. She sent us super thoughtful updates with the cutest kitty pics and kept our home spotless. Our shyest kitty Juniper took to Michelle right away, which is very rare. She was able to cater to the individual different needs of our 3 cats very well. We could tell how happy and well-cared they were upon our return and we were able to enjoy a wonderful trip knowing our kitties were in Michelle’s capable hands! Would highly recommend her to anyone lucky enough to have her 🫶🏽”
“Grace was an absolute dream to have watched out furr babies. I received plenty of updates and photos, which eased my mind. I would definitely book with Grace again!!”
“Bricca was great with my grumpy senior dog! She left the house looking great, and even replaced some cook books my boy had gotten into to shred. Great communication. Would love to have her sit again .”
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.
