“This was our first time using Gabbi….we were a little nervous at first, but she made us feel comfortable by sending pictures after pictures. My girls love her I definitely recommend Gabbi if you’re looking for a sitter .”

“We felt secure leaving our Beloved Rebel and our home in the care of Kate. Although it made us sad to see how much he seemed not to miss us (L.O.L). Kate sent us updates daily along with pictures of how much fun Rebel was having with her. It was our first time leaving Rebel. The daily updates from Kate as well as the pictures she provided made our trip more bearable. We were able to not worry and just relax knowing Kate was with him providing excellent care and attention in every way. Kate was a Excellent Care Giver to Our Baby Boy Rebel. She also took great care of our home. We highly recommend Kate and will use her services again in the future. THANK YOU KATE!!!”

“My dog, Joy, loved Liz! They played together and snuggled together. Joy didn't even miss us! Liz spent 2 nights. The house was in perfect shape when we arrived home. She even washed sheets and towels! I would definitely book with Liz again.”

“Faith was fantastic! She was promptly on time for our appointment and very easygoing. She took on our high-energy puppy house sitting request from mid-day Friday to late night Sunday with ease. Fern loved her during the meet and greet, and it sounds like they had a great weekend together!”

“Erin was super flexible with meeting our pets ahead of time, was responsive, dependable and neat. Sent pics and txts. Very appreciative of the last minute fill in on a holiday weekend!”


“Ethan was a great help and was accommodating for a last minute booking. He made sure that Maxwell would be comfortable with a meet and greet as well. He was punctual, communicative, and made sure Maxwell was well cared for. Maxwell warmed right up to him with no issue and we will definitely use Ethan again in the future.”

About: Hello everyone! I am an animal lover, I grew up around animals all my life. Our furry friends are extended family members. I hope you entrust me with your furry loved ones. I am currently an active college student, but I have somewhat situated myself with a work-life balance. I am available and flexible for weekdays and weekends! I currently have a kitten almost a year old. Having him has taught me patience, and having complete responsibility. Milo is my profile picture! I feel as though I am completely up to any challenge, I hope I can help with your furry loved ones!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and am super comfortable around them. I currently work for an animal sanctuary with older dogs and soon to have a couple horses and one goat there. I worked as an animal welfare officer previously therefore, I have a lot of knowledge on animals and their breeds. I also had chickens and Guinea pigs. I used to have bearded dragons too! Many many years of experience handling animals :) I currently work full time for a First State Animal Center and SPCA at their brand new sanctuary for rehabilitating dogs, senior dogs to enjoy the end of their life, and will have horses and a goat there soon. I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays all day. The rest of the week, I work 8am-6pm therefore, I can do evenings if needed after 6pm. I am more than willing to go to anyone’s house to pet/house sit or even just go to let them out or play/ feed them. I am willing to stay overnight for owner weekend trips if needed. Just need to let me know so I can arrange childcare for my son and also I have my full time job on Fridays and Sunday 8-6 but can be there after work if staying overnight! Also willing to pet sit any kind of pet!
About: Going away for the night, weekend, week or however long just contact me! I absolutely love dogs no matter the size! I have been watching friends dogs for a few years now and have really enjoyed it. I do have a full time job from 8-5 Monday thru Friday but would be with the dogs before and after work and they would get the full attention that they require when I am with them. My full time job does not require any overtime so I am always done on time. In the past I have stayed with a cat that had diabetes and had to have shots which was not a problem for me to handle. I do have a teenage daughter who would occasionally come with me if that is not a problem with the owners. I work full time but I have plenty of time in the evening to play with your dog(s), spend time with them if they would rather just cuddle or take them for a walk. I am patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or missing their owners. I try to help them feel comfortable by playing with them or petting them white cuddling. When the pet is feeling comfortable I will send pictures to the client, letting them know that the pet is relaxed and comfortable with me in the house
“Luie was awesome and loving to my fur babies. He took the time to get to know them and made a great effort to make them comfortable with him. He kept me posted all the time and took some beautiful pictures. Wonderful and amazing man. I would definitely ask him to watch them again!”

About: Although my family has never owned a dog, I have always loved taking care of my aunts, neighbors, and family friends dogs. I always make sure to pay attention to detail when watching a dog and meet each dogs needs whether that be a walk, playing with a toy, belly rubs, or even just relaxing. As a part-time graduate student at USM, I will have time during the day for a dog walk, or to check-in on your pup! I will be available on most weekends for house and dog sitting. I am available to come to your dog and stay with him/her so they do not have to move out of their comfortable environment and stay at a new space with new people.
“Absolutely loved Ciara and so did my babies. I highly recommend her as she is attentive and loving. She gave great updates and really made sure my kids were as comfortable as they could be.”

“Krista did an amazing job! She was very friendly and our dog Molly did great with her. Krista was very attentive to Molly and was very respectful of our home. She kept us updated and sent pictures! We will definitely be having Krista watch our fur baby again! Thank you Krista ❤️”

“Rebecca did an excellent job staying at our home with Pippin! She was really prepared with questions to help the weekend good smoothly and to understand his needs. She was very responsive to messages and sent detailed updates and pics. Our pup had a great time!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Kenton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 477 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kenton. 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 Kenton 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 Kenton 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 Kenton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kenton. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
