“Mark was an amazing house sitter for us and we even quickly rebooked to use him again in December. He sent us a ton of pictures daily and regularly. This is something I very much appreciated getting constant updates/pics throughout the day, every day. This brings so much peace of mind while we are away. Would highly recommend Mark!”
“Alyssa always does an amazing job with our pups. She is kind, sends lots of updates and photos, and our dogs are always happy while we are gone. She leaves the house very clean also. Highly recommend her.”
“Sierra did a great job watching our dogs and staying at our house for five nights! She took good care of our pups and our home while we were away. We really appreciated her help and would happily have her watch them again!”
“Jessica was amazing! We had her stay with our two dogs who tend to be anxious and she was wonderful. She played with them, took them on frequent walks and communicated throughout the stay. She was friendly and professional and we will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Sue was terrific. She house sat for three nights and took great care of the house and my 12 week old Cairn Terrier. She stayed in touch with txts, photo and videos. I recommend Sue without hesitation. You will not be disappointed.”
“Frankie was in great hands! We needed a last-minute sitter for a 3-day stay at our house, and she was wonderful. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind, and it was clear Frankie was well cared for and comfortable. We came home to a happy dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“We loved Kylene! She took great care of our 2 cats,2 dogs, and the house while we were out of town. She sent daily pictures and updates. We will definitely ask her to help us out again next time!”
About: Hey there all you pet parents! Bring me your pups and they will be loved like they are my own. I recently had to say goodbye to my two dogs this year and my house feels empty and sad. Hoping to dog sit for extra cash and give your babies the love I once gave mine. I have a fenced in back yard and dogs are allowed on all the furniture! Treats galore! ❤️ My work schedule is M-F 8am-4:30pm and I'm available most weekends. I do not have any pets so yours would get my undivided attention. Last minute overnight bookings during the week are also available but would need to arrange for pick up and/or drop off next day. Just message me! I have 2 dog crates, 2 baby gates and a fenced in back yard but pups get free reign for the most part. We are living in their world, after all! 😉 Also, my couch is by the front window so all doggies can keep an eye on the bunnies, squirrels & delivery drivers.
“I cannot say enough good things about Kim! My dog has had some recent health issues and I was anxious to leave her, but Kim sent a lot of updates and pictures and I could tell she was keeping Chloe's routine that same that I would. When I got home, it was like I hadn't even left! The house was spotless and Chloe was happy! I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Chloe was well taken care of and I'm so glad I found Kim!”
About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: I have always had dogs. I have trained dogs for years, including hunting dogs. I have helped others with their animals throughout the years as well. I also take care of a farm and their animals from time to time just north of Omaha she would be a reference. I work remotely, so I’m home all the time unless I need to run a quick errand. There is direct access into my apartment, so no need to go through hallways. I will treat them like they’re my own and we walked every day. I have a park here. I also live right next to Lake Zirinsky so taking a walk at the park is easy.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. I grew up with three little bichon poodle puppies. I now have a Catahoula Leopard Dog of my own. I currently work at starbucks, and soon I’ll be starting to attend ASU online for Pre Veterinary Medicine. Looking to fill my free time with your cute pets All of my dogs are taken out a leash whenever they go outside just in case because you never know what could happen. Unless they are in a fenced backyard
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and feel comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m happy to follow your pets normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pet is safe and cared for. My schedule is pretty open right now, so I’m available most days and can be pretty flexible with times. I’m down for walks, drop ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re gone. I know everyone takes care of their pets a little differently, so I’m happy to follow whatever routine or instructions you leave for me. I’ll make sure they’re fed, safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention, and I can always send pics and updates!
About: I got a dog when I was 3 years old because me and my siblings were afraid of them. My dog, Max, quickly grew up to be my best friend though. As soon as I learned how to drive I would take him with me everywhere I went and he loved it. My parents often relied on me to give him a bath or to take him on walks. He never liked water so he had to be thoroughly talked through in order to get through his bath. I have always just had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. My mom will have friends that ask me to dogsit for them, or my aunts and uncles ask when they go out of town. I recently lost Max because he was really old so I have been trying to find ways to be around dogs because my parents have so no to getting another one. I’m currently working part time with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time on my hands to play with your pets. My schedule comes out weekly but is very easy to work around and request days off if needed. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a tie out cable in my backyard for them to still be able to roam free and sniff around. I don’t have any other dogs but my neighbor does have a very friendly dog that likes to come over and visit if your dog wants to have a friend. I have plenty of dog toys depending on which types you prefer for your dog (ik some dogs aren’t very good with stuffed toys). i have 2 dog beds and a water and food bowl but if there is anything your dog prefers to have I can totally take it. I don’t have a crate at the moment but if your dog needs one I can get one.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 634 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kennard. 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 Kennard 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 Kennard 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 Kennard 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.
