“Laurie did a great job with all the dogs. She came regularly and spent a great deal of time with him. She's very commutative and attentive to the dogs. I would recommend her to anybody.”
“Maya is wonderful. She’s experienced both in caring for anxious dogs and your home. She asked great specific questions to be fully prepared and communicated well during the week. We would 100% use her again!”
“Querhea is an absolute delight and pleasure to work with. She took care of my babies while I was in surgery and they love her. She even stayed past her scheduled time until we got home from surgery the next day. I will be booking her for all our family needs”
“I would give Adam K. a 10 if I could. He took perfect care of my little Twiggy. He kept me posted with texts and pictures, which gives me such a peace of mind since little Twigs has a big personality, but only weighs 4 lbs. I came home to a clean house and happy pup! You cannot beat that!”
“My pups were unfortunately sprayed by a skunk while Amber was housesitting, and she took care of everything! She went above and beyond, which I truly appreciate!”
About: Hello, Please call me Cass & Here's a little about me. I've always loved animals but I personally call them family cause that's what they are to me. I've worked Pet Stores & Even a Pet Bakery where I'd make cakes & cookies to celebrate your sweet babies. I'm a very friendly person, patient & have a deep love for all animals aka family members lol. I'm hoping to find good bookings that can possibly lead to more future bookings. I am new to all of this but if given the chance I'll treat your babies like I treat mine, Spoiled lol but loved 🤗 I'm currently working this job cause I take care of my mom who's in a nursing home dealing with dementia but I've got extra time in my days & I would truly enjoy using that time for cute lil fur babies! I'm really good with pets that I've even been called the animal whisper lol but I feel that pets can tell good people & I'm a funny loving person with a huge heart for pets. I can't even watch the commercials... Breaks my heart.
“Thank you Casey for your awesomeness. Yogi loved your companionship. We both truly appreciate your kindness, happiness, helpfulness and awesomeness. Yogi loves his new friend Casey. We both look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for your excellent attention and friendship. 😊⭐️🤗⭐️🐕”
“We were gone for 4 days, asking Renee to visit the dogs at our house 3 or 4 times a day. All the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. We got pictures along the way, and felt confident that our dogs were in good hands!”
“Lexi was great! We have a diabetic dog that has a routine and she was amazing with it. Asked the right questions, reached out multiple times a day with an update and pictures. You could tell that she loved animals. We also have fish and a lizard and she was great with them as well. She left the house nice and clean which is always nice to come home to after a trip :). We would definitely rebook her and plan to in the future!! Thanks Lexi!”

“Jennifer is fantastic. She was so prepared when we first met her and went above and beyond for our puppies. She even took one of the dogs to the vet for us for a cough. I cannot recommend her enough.”
About: With several years of dedicated experience, I provide reliable and attentive care tailored to your dog's specific personality. I specialize in providing structured, engaging walks that ensure your pet gets the exercise and mental stimulation they need. I am also comfortable with senior care, understanding the patience and gentle approach required for older dogs who may have mobility issues or specific health needs. My goal is to maintain your dog's routine and happiness, so they feel cared for even while you're away. I also have strong familiarity with cats as I have one of my own and also foster kittens. Pet care fits into my lifestyle thanks to my part-time schedule working for a local game store and crafting. Because my work hours are flexible and limited, I have significant availability throughout the week to dedicate my attention to your pets. Whether it is providing midday walks, overnight stays, or consistent companionship, I can easily coordinate my professional commitments around your pet's specific routine to ensure they feel cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining a safe, secure, and stress-free environment that mimics their usual routine. I treat every home with the utmost respect, ensuring all doors and gates are securely locked and that the space remains clean and tidy. I follow your specific instructions to the letter; from feeding schedules and medication to favorite toys and boundary rules. I want your pets to feel comfortable and confident. By staying attentive to their behavior and keeping a close eye on their temperament, I aim to provide a trusted experience where your pets can feel safe in their own familiar environment. I am comfortable with sending as many or as few updates as you like.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and pups since I was 12. I grew up with them and trained them. I'm a huge dog person and love getting to know their personalities and needs. I'm currently a stay at home dad, so my availabilty is flexable! I have my own little doggo Sophie who has been party of my family since I was 12. Sophie is my mini poodle who is very energetic, I take her on walks 2 times a day, and she plays for a good 20 minutes before she sleeps. I make her homecooked meals and she switches between hill science food and home cooked and is perfectly healthy!
About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else while you’re away. I’ve spent years caring for my own dog Boots, my guinea pigs Stew & Sin, family/friends dogs & cats, and even other small animals like lizards. I absolutely love animals, and I’m someone who genuinely enjoys getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, a calm companion, medication reminders, or simply someone to keep their routine consistent while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. You can be sure to receive tons of updates, pictures, and videos! I also have lots of experience with dogs that have anxiety, health problems, dogs with high energy and also dogs who don’t really do well with other animals given that my baby Boots is the exact same way lol. Look forward to chatting with you 💘 I’m available full time for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I always make time to give every pet attentive, unhurried care and make sure they have plenty of fun! 🐾 Dog Walks 🐾 - a walk around your neighborhood or nearby trail for sniffs, exploring, & all the enrichment your pup needs! Ensuring they get a potty break & fresh water. And most importantly plenty of playtime & cuddles 😊 Drop-Ins 🐾 - Feeding, and fresh water. Potty breaks & pet area/litter clean up. Medication If needed. While tending to all your babies needs they will always get as much playtime and love as possible 💓 House Sitting 🐾 - Perfect for pets who feel most comfortable staying in their own home while you’re away. I’ll keep their routine as normal as possible while providing plenty of care, companionship, playtime, and attention throughout the day, while also keeping their space clean and cared for. 🪷
“Kalipso is amazing. My dogs didn't even miss me they were so spoiled with love. I had no worries the whole time. Thank you so much. I hope I can get you to stay every time with my babies.”
“Literally the BEST! It was my first time ever getting a sitter for my tortoise, she did amazing with him. She asked questions and went above and beyond for my little guy! She even sent pictures so I could see he was doing well; definitely a 10/10 person and 20/10 service!”
“Janet is wonderful! I needed a sitter on very short notice and she immediately responded and even offered to do a meet and greet that night. She sent lots of updates of my pup and made me feel at ease having to leave him during my work trip. Highly recommend!!”
“Peggy was wonderful! She was so sweet and patient with our little goofballs. Both dogs and the house were very well cared for. We would definitely recommend Peggy to others and will book her again for sure👍🏻👍🏻”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kennedale
Cenite is fantastic. I had never used a sitter from this service prior to this last minute need. She went above and beyond in communicating updates with videos and photos. She magically became best friends with my shy cat within a day and embraced all the play enrichment available. She was very neat and made my apartment even cleaner than when I left. So glad to have her as a future sitter!
We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely book again! She took excellent care of our dogs, kept them on their normal feeding schedule, and made sure they were happy and well cared for while we were away. She also went above and beyond by watering all of our plants, changing the dog pads, tidying up the house, and even washing, drying, and putting the sheets back on the bed before we returned. Coming home to happy dogs and a clean house made the end of our trip so much easier. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness, reliability, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
Jordan and her boyfriend are such great and caring people. We will miss them tremendously as we are moving and I know our animals will miss them too. ;( They outsmarted our escape artist kitty keeping her home, took our pup on walks, and provided both animals with tons of cuddles. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kennedale is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $52 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 3,330 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kennedale. 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 Kennedale 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 Kennedale 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 Kennedale 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.
