About: I have always had pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and birds. I have experience caring for medically (and emotionally) needy dogs, won over wary cats and have gleefully forgiven giant dog full body tackles. I started pet sitting with my kiddo about 6 years ago and now it has become one of my favorite things to do! I work full time remotely and I am a homebody so my availability is very flexible. I have cared for dogs such as retired greyhounds who are conditioned to 5 am wake up calls to animals with precisely timed medication and potty breaks. My teen daughter loves to come with me and shower pets in love and attention. Your pet(s) will be given 100% love and my care of them will be entirely determined by thier parent(s) and the pet themselves. I respect firm rules and boundaries the home but I also thrive with pets that have absolutely no personal boundaries.
About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and proud dog parents to our pup, Gus! We’ve both grown up with dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. We’re comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and providing the care and attention dogs need to feel comfortable and well cared for. We both work full time and have different wfh days during the week, along with flexibility! I work 10 minutes from our home, so going home during lunch is very easy! Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play and take dogs on daily walks. Crate-trained dogs are preferred, and we’re happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions. Pets are welcome on our furniture and treated like part of the family. Our dog, Gus, is a friendly companion and loves having a playmate! We’ll do whatever we can to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and feeling right at home while you’re away.
“Michelle W did an awesome job caring for our elderly pupper. She sent pics on their walks, gave him love & attention, fed him on our schedule, brought in our mail, and informed us of a Christmas package that had arrived. This is our 2nd Christmas having Michelle care for our dog/home and we could not be happier! Michelle is a professional, personable, caring person to trust with your pet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND her.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and my neighbors pets since middle school. I have gone to neighbors houses while they were away to just take the dogs out and feed them or clean their house supplies. This has been in a setting where I stay at the cilent’s house or I go over for a few hours a day. I have cared for small, big, young, and old dogs, I love them all! I am currently working Monday - Thursday Mondays and Tuesdays 8-5 Wednesdays and Thursdays 7-3. I am also unfortunately allergic to most dogs that shred and would need hypoallergenic dogs to care for. I have a vechile to be able to reach you and your pets. I have stayed at houses with and without fences when dog sitting.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lenexa is $48
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lenexa
We had a fantastic experience with Isabel! Our dogs have medication requirements, and she took excellent care of them while we were away. She sent frequent updates and pictures throughout the week, which we really appreciated. Isabel was professional, kind, and incredibly dependable. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in her care. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Jessica was great with our 10 year old Springer Spaniel. I feel like she bonded with her right away and gave me daily updates on how she was doing with lots of photos. I felt comfortable that she was being taken care of so I could enjoy our vacation. I would highly recommend Jessica.
Morgan did a great job with my large, weird dog. I received regular photo updates, and when my dog skipped a meal, Morgan contacted me to ask for suggestions. Luma seemed relaxed and happy when I returned. She’s an anxious dog so I was worried about using Rover, but Morgan made her comfortable and I’d definitely book again!
Katelyn is great! She takes excellent care of my boys when we are away, she's flexible and communicative. I have a high anxiety cat, a velcro cat and a kitten who is terrified of most people. These boys are almost never alone most days and I'm grateful that Katelyn keeps them company when we are out of town.
Mattilynn did a wonderful job caring for our 2 dogs while we were out of the country. She sent pictures of our fur babies throughout the 2 weeks of house/dog sitting which made us happy to know they were being well cared for. We would definitely book her again in the future.
Lynne did an excellent job caring for our two dogs while we were out of town! She was very communicative, gave them lots of cuddles, and played with them a ton. I felt very at ease having her in my home. As a bonus, she kept our house very clean and even washed the floors. I will definitely hire her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lenexa is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 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 November 2026, there are 1,617 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lenexa. 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 Lenexa 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 Lenexa 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 Lenexa 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
