“Laurie is the best! Ralphie remembered her right away. She always sends pics and updates which I truly appreciate. I’m never worried and know Ralphie is safe when Laurie is here. We look forward to seeing her again next week!”
“We could not be any happier with Maya! She communicates well and keeps you updated as much as you want. She took great care of all three of my fur babies. I will definitely utilize her to care for my pets again. She stayed in our home and left it better than she found it.”
“What a wonderful experience! Leslie is an amazing person who took care of my house and kids like they were her own. I received photos and texts every day and it really made my vacation truly relaxing because she is so trustworthy. I didn't have to worry about a thing! When I came home after two weeks, the house was immaculate and the kids were happy and healthy. I would give 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend Leslie!”
“Abby is AWESOME! My senior beagle LOVED her. Even when we had a storm, when she usually hides in a corner or under a bed, she stayed in the bed with her! We would love to have her stay again anytime.”
“Donna took care of our dog while we were out of the country for two weeks, and she's been absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond, and truly loved our puppy. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and caring sitter.”
“Kayla took wonderful care of our 3 fur babies for 5 days. She was attentive to the one who needed special care and medication. She sent us numerous updates and pictures. We returned home to happy dogs and a clean house. Would highly recommend and will be using her services again.”
“Rachel was fantastic! She agreed to still stay with our Ava girl despite our air conditioning going out the day prior and saved us a ton of hassle trying to make other arrangements last minute. Very sweet, and Ava took to her almost instantly.”
“Paula was super conscientious and got all the details about her stay well in advance. She came by for a COVID-conscious meet and greet before my trip, which put me at ease. My pets were happy and well cared for when I returned, and my apartment was cleaner than I left it. I look forward to going out of town again and re-hiring Paula.”
“He was amazing! I didn’t have to stress about my babies one time while we were away! I have two medium sized dogs and a cat but that was a cake walk for Justin. He left our home better than he found it, had amazing communication, and was a quick replied”
“The boys were well cared for and received lots of updates! Thank you so much it was a relief to know the boys (and the house) were well looked after when we were out of town!”

My house was spotless when I arrived which was soooooo nice . I am so HAPPY I found him. You can’t go wrong using Casey HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM”
“I would not hesitate to recommend Noah to any pet sitters. He stayed at my home and watched my two birds for over a week. Was very responsive to my messages and followed care instructions. I have to deeply apologize from my original review. I had misplaced an item and thought the pet sitter might have taken it when he left. Two weeks later the item has been located and all is well. I apologize for any difficulties that my original review may have caused.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog and house sitter than Cenite! From the moment we left, she was incredibly communicative—sending regular text updates and the sweetest photos of our dogs, Potus and Saffron, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from every update that she wasn’t just taking care of them—she was genuinely loving on them like they were her own. When we returned, the house was absolutely spotless—truly above and beyond our expectations. But the real proof of how wonderful she is? Potus and Saffron cried when it was time for her to leave. That says it all. We feel so lucky to have found Cenite, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind, and caring sitter. She’s a gem!”

Haven is by far the best dog sitter I’ve ever had- I can’t recommend her enough. She is always so communicative and helpful while I’m gone and has even helped with a leak I had while away. She sends lots of pictures/videos and goes above and beyond with care instructions! She even leaves me food and sweet notes to come home to. Thankful for her!
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 for House Sitting in Kennedale on Rover is $29.97 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 3,566 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.
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 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 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.

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.
