“Imani did a great job house-sitting and watching my cat, Penny! She provided updates everyday and was quick to respond to messages! She left the place spotless and Penny loved her! I would definitely recommend her and will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Our dogs had such a good time with Scott that they were actually sad to see him go when we returned from our trip! I am sure they will be elated next time they see him. Scott is easygoing, communicative, and has our full trust. We're so glad to have found Scott and know our pups are in good hands with him!”
“Sarah was fantastic! She was very communicative while I was away and sent lots of pictures and updates which I appreciated. Both of my fur babies were happy when I got home and I could see they had been extremely well taken care of. I will definitely book with her again.”
“John was great taking care of our dog, cat, and house while we were away. He was super responsive, sent lots of pictures and updates, and made us very comfortable. He also had a lot of patience dealing with our challenging senior dog who is very wary of strangers. He put in work to make her feel comfortable and begin to relax. Will be booking again for sure.”
“Cheyenne kept my house clean, sent photos and updates. But most importantly she made friends with my high anxiety dog, so I know she special took time to make him feel comfortable.”
“Conner takes great care of my home and my aging dogs. Hazels loves loves having someone to snuggle with while I’m away and I love that they can stay in their home when I’m traveling.”
“Alex is a fantastic pet sitter. The instructions for my senior cat can be a bit complicated - Alex took care of her and our golden retriever so well. Highly recommend. She left our house the way we left it, was very communicative, and trustworthy person.”
“Christiane was a pleasure to work with during her stay. She was polite and responsive. Our dog, Moe, was well-loved and comfortable in her care. Our house was spotless when she left! We will use her again!”
“Crystal spent 5 days watching our dog and cat in our home and went above and beyond. Our girls are a little high maintenance and she made sure they were well taken care for, maybe even better than we do! She gave us updates daily with pictures and we could tell they were comfortable with her. She took our dog on walks daily (which wasn’t required) and snuggled with our girls often. She left our house cleaner than how we left it. We will definitely be booking with Crystal again. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia took perfect care of Olli!❤️ Maybe too perfect? I think Olli had second thoughts about coming back to his daddy!🤣 She also introduced us to a new park!❤️ Olli couldn’t be reached for a comment…he’s focused on his ball!🤣”
“Olivia was a great care taker for our dog and cat. She was easy to work with and a great communicator. While we were on vacation Olivia gave us the peace of mind knowing our home and animals were in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Having Gabriella watch my dogs was a wonderful experience! She was very communicative, great with the dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving them with her! Would definitely recommend using her services!”
“Katie was amazing with our 2 shepherds. We know they can be a handful but she made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures and updates to put our minds at ease and gave them all the play, treats, and attention they asked for! Definitely will book with Katie again next time we are out of town.”
About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by animals, whether they are birds, cats, dogs, or guinea pigs! Currently, I have a boxer named Rocky, and two cats named Yari and Little Girl. Apart from my own animals, I do foster day trips with Cincinnati Animal Care, and I have fostered a few stray puppies previously! I am currently working part time and in school, but am normally available mornings and nights to help out! Weekends are more flexible especially with overnights! I always ensure that my pets have access to food and water consistently in their daily routine, and are provided with adequate exercise and attention!
About: I have been blessed to have pets my whole life! I’ve had 2 medium sized pups and a big pittie- Great Pyrenees mix! I have cared for little pups all the way up to older dogs’ last moments. I am currently a full time student at UC, so this is a way I can get some doggie snuggles in while making some money as well! I have done extensive training and certifications to work at shelters around the Cincy area. I am almost always home all day Friday-Sunday and get back from school in the afternoon Tuesday-Thursday. I am neighbors with my mom who works at home 24/7 so she would be able to check in on the pups if needed! I have taken care of dogs in and out of crates, free fed and scheduled meals, health issues, trained and untrained, etc. I love taking dogs to the dog park, walks and play dates! After an exhausting day Id love to snuggle up or relax with them outside!
“I really appreciated the ability to book her at a late notice. Although I was not able to meet her in person, I came home to happy healthy puppies. Pictures would have been nice but I won't doc her for that - handling two energetic puppies is enough and if she experienced what I experience, they do not sit still for pictures.”
“Jailen took the best care of our sweet girl and kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. She was communicative, kept me in the loop with a little scare, and kept the house tidy. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

Megan and Lee did an outstanding job sitting with our two goofy girls for a 9 day period. Communication was excellent and timely. They took care of the house as well while we were away and went well beyond our expectations. We’ll definitely use again if they’re available and highly recommend them to others. Thank you Megan and Lee!
David was professional and easy to talk to. He sent us pictures about once a day so we could see his bonding with the animals. It was a relief to know they were well cared for. He also stayed overnights with them for the three day duration. The house condition when we returned was as if we never left. We will be using David again in the future.
Anna was great! Will absolutely be booking again. My two dogs were happy to see me when i got home, but not too happy-- that's how i can tell they got lots of attention and play time. Anna was conscientious and responsible, it was clear the dogs were fed, happy, and loved. And i think my house looked better than how i left it. It was obvious from the meet and greet that Anna is smart, mature, and takes dog care seriously. Can 100% recommend!
Tarani is beyond excellent with our 3 dogs. We feel confident and relaxed when we go out of town knowing she is staying over with them. They have gotten to know her very well, and miss her when she’s gone. Tarani knows how to deal with difficult situations- our one dog forced her way through our fence to escape and join Tarani and our other dog on a walk. Tarani remains calm and gets everyone to safety. Thank you!!! She’s also determined, even though Lucy refuses to go on walks, she still tries daily to see if she has changed her mind; I know one day Lucy will agree to go! 😅 Tarani we are so lucky that you agree to watch our pets. Thank you!
Daniel was great - excellent communication and great with the pups. One of our pups took an instant liking to him and was asking for belly rubs during the meet and greet. We hired him to house sit during our wedding weekend and he even walked the dogs up to our wedding venue so we could take pictures with them on the day.
Joseph was superb and stayed in constant communication with me and took wonderful care of my German Shepherd (Zak). Zak has some anxiety issues and was nippy on Joseph's first day but he worked through it and rapidly gained Zaks trust and affection I will be coming back for sure on my next trip
Our dogs had such a good time with Scott that they were actually sad to see him go when we returned from our trip! I am sure they will be elated next time they see him. Scott is easygoing, communicative, and has our full trust. We're so glad to have found Scott and know our pups are in good hands with him!
We absolutely adore Shore!!! Thank you for taking such good care of our pups - they love you!!! We will absolutely be booking with shore in the future when we can. We had a flight cancellation at the end of the trip and Shore was able to accommodate this last minute and add on additional days. We are forever grateful!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kenwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kenwood is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $35 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 1,382 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 , 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.
