“Bryant was kind, helpful & enthusiastic toward our pup and our home. He came by for a meet and greet, followed all requests and provided updates while we were away. Will definitely ask for Bryant to return!”
“Savannah is great- reliable, communicative, and friendly. While gone for the weekend she made sure to not only check on my two cats, but love on them and play with them too. My favorite part was the update pictures she would send, as well as feedback on how my cats were doing (eating, energy, litter activity, etc.) and having the veterinary background that Savannah does, my babies were in great hands. Consider Savannah for your booking and you won’t be disappointed!”
“Valeria, stayed overnight to take care of our three dogs. This was our first time using Rover and we were so fortunate that she came to help us out with the overnight stay. She did a great job communicating and sending picture of the dogs. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Tressa was great and we will be rebooking. I was very happy with how she handled my timid Aussie and made her feel comfortable and all the love she provided my oldest who is starting to show signs of age. She sent lots of photos while they were in her care and I fully trust Tressa with my pups. 10/10 recommend her to a friend.”
“Britney watched our two older basset hounds for 2 weeks. She did an excellent job. She sent photos and updates daily. She took excellent care of the dogs and our home. I would highly recommend.”
“Landry was awesome and took excellent care of our pups during our house-sitting booking. One of our pups has some special needs (requires oral medication) and she followed all the directions for care perfectly. 10/10 would book again!!”
“John (Hilton) was great! We found him before going away for a week and we could not have been happier for his care of our two dogs. He took them on multiple walks and sent updates daily. Hilton was responsive to messages as well. Hilton followed medication instructions as one of our dogs was also sick. We could tell our dogs were in caring hands with Hilton. We came back to a clean home and two happy dogs. We will definitely be using Hilton again.”
About: I have experience pet sitting for dogs, especially caring for a reactive one for a couple of years. I understand how to work with fearful dogs and will care for them regardless. I can walk, feed, and even give medication as needed. I have a deep passion for animals, especially dogs, and I would love to be able to care for yours! I have also worked alongside veterinarians to gain experience in animal handling. I love all dogs, big and small, and I know I could provide great care for your pup! I’m currently a student at Montana State, but all of my classes end at two. I’m available on the weekends for overnights and day pet sitting. I will care for your pets like my own, but I also understand that many pets have different boundaries. I will always respect their boundaries and make sure that your animals are comfortable and happy in their own spaces. Whether that means crates, time spend apart, or time spent together, I will make sure that your pets still feel like they are home.
“Cate was AMAZING! We left town and booked her very last minute and she was happy to come and meet the dogs before we left. Cate took great care for our two dogs. If you are looking for a dog sitter, Cate is awesome!”
“Vanessa was amazing! My dog recently had surgery & I was so nervous to leave him for the night. Vanessa was super knowledgeable & made me feel so much better about leaving my pup with a sitter! She sent a ton of updates, photos, and was very communicative! She was great!”
“Emma was attentive, responsible, and caring for my two cats during her housesit. She made sure the cats were safe and happy and left my house very tidy. Thank you Emma!”
“James was an excellent sitter! We were traveling from out of town for a wedding and he was very flexible and great to work with, with that added factor. He was communicative and easy to work with. Very kind and we felt great peace of mind leaving our little guy with him, thanks James!”
About: I’ve taken care of so many different species of animals ever since I was in elementary school. I spend as much time with the pets as I can and love to play and snuggle with them! Their wellbeing and happiness is my top priority I am currently a student at MSU, but my classes are spread out so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am always free on the weekends. I am sure to give my full attention to your pet and cater to their every need. I work with all personalities and temperaments and will always give the highest level of care to any animal I meet!
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs and volunteered at an animal shelter before. I love to be around animals and jump on any chance I get to spend time with them. I currently have a Shepsky (German Shepard/Siberian Husky) dog named Buck. He is the most fun and lovable little guy. I have experience as a behavioral therapist for children, but I am learning to train dogs and hope to board animals someday. My availability is fully open to come for pet drop in visits or dog walks. My schedule changes throughout the year and can be flexible. I will make sure to follow your instructions for food, water, walks, and their potty schedule. I will give them plenty of love and attention while monitoring their safety at all times.
About: I grew up on a farm in Upstate New York, taking care of my dogs, chickens, cats, and horses. I've loved animals for a long time, and feel that they provide a much needed therapeutic and calming part of my life. I'm in London doing my Masters at UCL, and would love to be able to spend some time with dogs! As far as house sitting, besides caring for my own animals my whole life, I have done dog sitting for 4 days for a good friend in Boston (where I went to Brandeis University). The dogs I took care of there were older, one had significant arthritis that made it difficult to move. I took them outside to go to the bathroom frequently, and even went swimming with them once! Moreover I have worked as a groom and stable hand at a horse show barn, caring for horses. I really love spending time with animals, especially dogs, because they are so loving and the experience is so rewarding! Since dogs help me to feel good, it's the least I can do to make them feel good and give back. When I was going to school in Boston I also worked as a dog walker for Wag! now and then, and found that I really enjoyed walking dogs as well. I would be a great house sitter, and walker partly because I enjoy spending time with dogs, but also because I know how important it is that animals are cared for and loved. I'm currently working remote and part time, so I have a very flexible schedule to fit in plenty of pet care time and fun! I am able to live and work in different locations for any amount of time. N/A - I can't currently offer pet care at my home, but I am happy to come to you and spend time with your pets wherever their home is.
“Emma did an incredible job taking care of our 5 year old Golden Retriever while we were on vacation. She was great at sending updates and she is very responsive to texts. She was able to devote the whole week to taking care of our dog so she was able to get him lots of exercise and attention. Emma is very responsible and friendly and she went above and beyond what was asked of her and I couldn't recommend her enough!”
About: I have always loved animals I have a 7 year old lab that I have been taking care of since we got him. I have always had a heart for animals I walk my dog at least once a day 7 times a week and I feed him and put fresh water in his bowl. When I have to I’ll give him a bath too I have a couple neighbors that always go out of town and I watch there dogs for them. And have never had any trouble with that
About: I have taken care of pets for a while now. From horses to wiener dogs I have done it all! I started out just taking care of family pets and then slowly I started to hear from other people around town. I love taking care of any sort of dog they are my favorite. Whether the dog needed insulin or two walks a day I would do it. I love animals of all ages and taking care of them is so much fun! I am currently a student at MSU, my schedule has gaps in it so I would be able to go and let the animals out or check in on them when I am not in class. I currently live in the dorms so I would need to take care of the pet in the clients home. I am responsible and respectful young adult who will keep your home and pet in great condition.

Air offered to do a meet-and-greet before the booking date, was on time, was very respectful of my home, and was super sweet to my Zoey. Zoey has separation anxiety, and she was fast asleep and totally relaxed in Ari’s lap when I got home. I highly recommend Ari and will be booking her again!
Will was great! Our animals really liked him and he was responsive, trustworthy, and reliable. He stayed with our cat and dog for 9 days while we were out of the country. Answered my messages promptly and sent pics. We came home to the house exactly as we left it. Would definitely hire him again!
Hannah was amazing with our two large goofballs. I was very nervous with this being a long, international trip but she sent lots of updates and pics so I knew they were in good hands. They were happy to see us when we got back, but not over the top so I'm pretty sure she spoiled them. I would 100% use her as a sitter again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kerns is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $87 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 437 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kerns. 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 Kerns 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 Kerns 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 Kerns 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.
