“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Erik take care of my energetic duo, Beau and Jet, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the exceptional service he provided. From the moment I met Erik, I knew my fur babies were in good hands. Erik went above and beyond in every aspect of pet sitting. He not only ensured that Beau and Jet were well-fed and content, but he also took the time to engage with them, providing playtime that kept their spirits high. One of the highlights of Erik’s service was the beautiful photos he captured of Beau and Jet. Erik’s communication skills were outstanding. He regularly sent me updates on Beau and Jet, reassuring me of their happiness and safety. This level of communication not only put my mind at ease but also demonstrated his professionalism and is top choice for pet owners seeking peace of mind while they are away Thank you, Erik, for your outstanding care of Beau and Jet. You truly are a gem in the world of pet sitting!”
“Alex took great care of our house, elderly dog and young cat. He was very responsive and kept us updated during the trip. Would highly recommend Alex to take care of pets and house!”
“We are so happy that we found Ashley. She was wonderful and took such good care of our two cats, two dogs (one with high anxiety) and chatty cockatiel. We received daily updates with pictures and were able to relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. We highly recommend Ashley and we hope she wants to come back again.”
“Peter was very attentive to our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hijo. It was very clear that he made Hijo his priority and Hijo was so comfortable with him that Peter got to see some of his antics usually reserved for folks he knows well. We felt very confident Peter had everything under control while we stepped away. Jen”
“Blake was so amazing!! She did such a fantastic job keeping me updated on my pup as well as sending me pictures. I love that she works with your dog and really understands them :)”
“Rosemary was wonderful! She was very kind, and affectionate towards my dog. She spent a few days with her, and I could tell my Bella was happy and well taken care of when I returned. Very trustworthy and friendly!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was very young. I enjoy spending time with them, doing everything from playing, to walking, to lounging on the couch! I work full time with a relatively flexible schedule and the occasional work from home day. I am available on weekends and weekdays after work. I have one cat at home who is very friendly, but shy! He will likely stay under my bed and out of the way while your pet is in my home. I can also crate your baby if necessary and spoil them with treats and snuggles.
“Mia is so wonderful! Our dog Huck typically gets pretty sad when we go out of town, but he instantly fell in love with Mia. We had a meet and greet and we could tell right away she was an animal lover, and Huck knew that too! Mia stayed at our house with Huck while we were away for a long weekend and she not only loved and snuggled him, but our house was spotless upon our return home. We so appreciated her caring for our fur baby and our home while we were away! She sent us photos and we were able to enjoy our time knowing Mia was watching over Huck and taking such good care of him. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!”
“Debbie is the ultimate professional when it comes to her compassionate, playful care of our Shiloh. We had an opportunity to meet prior to her visit which was wonderful for all of us. She provided updates and videos and information so that we felt completely at ease while away. She left our home more beautiful than when we left it. I am so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services to anyone in need.”
About: As a fur mom myself, I treat other pets as if they were my own. I have two dogs and a cat. Two of them are seniors and I've had them since they were young. I believe in training basic commands, positive enforcement, and lots of snuggles. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm hanging out with my pups outside while they get their zoomies out. I'm comfortable with excited pups, counter surfers, and shy pups. We all have our quirks! I take care of our 3 pets (2 dogs, 1 cats) and their care is my top priority on my day to day. Feeding, training, and getting the zoomies out. I like to keep the dogs routine as much as possible. Some dogs can get anxious when someone new is introduced and I find it's best to keep things as simple and normal as possible.
“Lupin and Blackberry both LOVE Nyah and it’s only the second visit! Lupin jumped In her lap right away and blackberry came right up to her for pets! Nyah has been so flexible and reliable!”
“Karen was so wonderful with our dog, Lila. Lila is shy, and elderly with special needs. Karen won her over and took excellent care of her. Karen is responsible, flexible and communicates well. We appreciated the daily updates and pictures she sent. We highly recommend Karen.”
“Dorothy was amazing! She was so helpful with the animals and helping with medications as well as sending updated photos a few times a day. Great communication and very friendly and warm. She also left the house spotless and as clean as I left it! Absolutely would rehire!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Kenwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kenwood on Rover is $63.83 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 1,571 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kenwood. 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 Kenwood 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 Kenwood 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 Kenwood 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
