About: I have had dogs in my household my entire life, currently with 3 rescues of my own, that have been trained with cute tricks to make you laugh and melt your heart. I have been entrusted with friends and pet clients over the years to care for their pets while they are away from home and would like to offer the same to you. I have a large fenced in backyard with room to run and beds for lounging. I can administer medications (oral, topical, and injections), take for walks, and offer other special instructions as needed. I have provided specialty care with senior dogs. I’m currently working from home (WFH), so I am available for daycare from morning through early evening during the week, as well as potential boarding if coordinated. Weekend boarding/daycare arrangements can also be made. I have a fully fenced in backyard with three friendly pups of my own to offer play and companionship. If you choose to have your dog crated at times to match their home routine, I can accommodate that if needed.

“Lisa is so great with Bob! He is older and can be grouchy and lazy. But when she comes by, he perks up and is a super happy pup! She is kind and courteous and simply a joy to have around! We are contemplating a new puppy because of how much we trust Lisa to help out! She is willing to go the extra mile to ensure that we are informed and kept up to date on his activities.”

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a passionate dog lover with experience caring for pups of all kinds, including special needs dogs and those with behavioral challenges. I’m currently completing a dog training certification and am excited to combine my knowledge with hands on care to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. At my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large fenced backyard for outdoor fun and a dedicated dog room that doubles as an indoor enrichment and play area. For downtime or when I’m at work, dogs can rest comfortably in a 4x6 kennel within the dog room. My schedule follows a school calendar, so I’m home by 2:30 PM and off during the summer, perfect for lots of walks, playtime, and attention! Whether your dog needs a calm environment, extra enrichment, or some guidance with tricky behaviors, I’d love to provide a safe and loving home away from home. I follow a school schedule, so I’m home by 2:30 PM on weekdays and off during the summer. This allows me to provide plenty of walks, playtime, and enrichment for dogs, or quiet attention and care for cats. While I’m at work, dogs have a comfortable 4x6 kennel in a dedicated dog room, and the room doubles as an indoor play and enrichment space when the weather isn’t ideal. I can accommodate any requests that a client may have regarding their pets care. I always ensure to care for their pets as I would my own. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate as much time as needed to my clients.

About: I have had puppies and dogs in my life for the last 32 years. My life would not be complete without them. Currently I have a treeing walker coon hound who is full of energy. My lab just recently passed away. She was almost 13 years old. Being able to help people out by making sure their dogs or cats are loved and exercised would be so rewarding for me. I’m a nurse who works part time two days a week. I’m looking forward to filling the rest of my week with pet care appointments. I will respect your home and privacy and be sure and agree upon set instructions before entering and leaving. I will effectively communicate prior to and after each visit.

About: I truly love animals, and I have real hands-on experience that helps me care for pets of all ages and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and large breeds. In my home town, I cared for Great Danes, so big dogs don’t intimidate me at all I’m confident, calm, and know how to handle them safely. Overall, I’m sweet, patient, and truly dedicated to making every pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust easily to your needs. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, feeding, medication, and extra cuddle time. I love staying active, so taking dogs out for walks and playtime naturally fits into my daily routine. My open availability lets me focus on each pet individually and make sure they’re getting the care, love, and consistency they deserve. In my home, I make sure every pet has a safe, comfortable space. I have dog crates available, a fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and I always supervise pets when they’re outside. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention to detail. I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine, giving them affection, play, and structure. I send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.

About: I am an animal lover! I have a dog named piper she's a small little angel and my life hasn't been the same since I've had her. I want people to feel comfortable leaving their furry bundles of love with someone who can love and protect them! I take the dogs I am watching to the dog park at my apartment where they can run and play. Also, if interested I can bathe your dog before he or she comes home. Your dog will have a blast with many toys and walks and naps on the couch! I am a currently not working so I’ll be at home all day with my fur babies and hopefully yours. I have a very flexible schedule I always keep the dogs I am watching on a leash unless it is a fenced backyard. I’m always paying attention and capturing cute moments.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had the joy of owning and caring for pets throughout my life. I understand that pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. The unconditional love, companionship, and happiness they bring into our lives are truly special, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of creating a safe, caring, and welcoming environment. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing them with the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. My household also has a background in veterinary nursing, bringing valuable familiarity with animal health, behavior, and overall well-being into our home. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether you’re away for the day, a weekend, or an extended trip, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are being cared for with the same love and attention I would give my own. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether they love going for walks, playing outside, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing and enjoying some company. I want every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and right at home while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions or preferences you may have. I believe consistency and familiarity help pets feel secure, especially when they’re away from their families. Communication is also important to me. I’m always happy to provide pictures, updates, and check-ins throughout your pet’s stay so you can feel confident they’re happy and doing well. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously and strive to provide a loving, dependable, and positive experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and giving them a safe, loving home away from home! We will have a lot of time to interact with your pet and provide whatever their interest are to try and keep their routine as normal as possible. I am flexible and understanding of the owners request. However they would like me to do things, I will honor and respect that request. The pets safety is most important.

About: I’ve had my first dog( Bandit) for 10 years. Since I was 9, I would take care of him on the daily. I would be the one to bathe, feed, play with him, and walk him. My extended family even trusted me to care for their pets while they’ve been away. I also own many different kinds of pets other than dogs and cats, so animal care is something I have adapted to. For the past two years, I have had experience in intensive dog training and I am educated in dog behavior. I attend The Ohio State University studying Biology in order to become a Veterinarian. Not only do i need to earn a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school, but i also need hours of experience. To achieve that, I have volunteered at ASPCA (animal rescue organization) to care for the many animals in need. While there, I learned how to care for animals that have been in rough situations. I am able to manage dogs that are twice my size. As a crazy animal lover, I'd love to meet your pets! As of right now , I am available all day everyday to care for my own pets and yours too! I work from home, so pet care is something I’m able to do on the side. At home, I just got a fenced yard installed, but I take my pets out on walks. They are under my super vision 24/7. If my client has a fenced yard, I will happily take them outside as needed and provide playtime.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kennard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 843 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kennard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kennard. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
