“Another successful overnight with Lisa. Max hadn’t seen her since August of 2024. He remembered her immediately and was so excited to see her. Lots of kisses and hugs. She sent me videos and photos throughout the night and morning. I’m so grateful that Lisa is our dog sitter! She’s the best.”
“Matti was great with both our dogs who are complete opposites. We have a high energy young 65 lb lab mix and a timid 13 yr old 8 lb chihuahua. They both got the specific attention they need and we got cute updates. We'll be rebooking with her!”
“5 stars plus! Roxanne is awesome! She took care of our 4 small doggies and they love her. Roxanne sent me daily updates and pictures which were comforting to us and helped us enjoy our vacation even more. We highly recommend Roxanne!”
“Abigail was absolutely amazing with our pups!! She sent update pictures all the time as the dogs looked like they were having a blast! We have already re-booked her to watch them again :)”
“Emily was great! Lady loved her from the moment she walked in. Her communication was clear and prompt. We came home to a clean house and a content doggo. We will definitely ask Emily to stay again 😁”
“Erin was wonderful. She went above and beyond in every way, kept us informed, and took great care of the house. Our puppy was 6 months at the time of the vacation, and Erin did great with all of them. I am sure they will all be so happy to see her again!”
“Reese did an amazing job: first walking me through how to introduce her to my anxious big dog at our meet-n-greet and on the first day of the sit. She regularly sent a ton of pictures of my three pets throughout the weeklong stay, which increased my enjoyment of my time away. And even though she caught a really bad cold while sitting, she remained extremely communicative and committed to staying with my pets until the day I was due home, which I greatly appreciated. And I also appreciated her efforts to make sure my home was sanitized and cleaned before I returned.”
“Lindsay was very quick to respond to any communication I sent. She also left our house clean, even after several rainy days which I knew the dogs would have tracked in dirty paws. I’ll definitely use her again.”
“Linda was absolutely amazing! She watched our 2 dogs for the first time and we could not be any happier! Our dogs adored her, she sent us photos and kept us updated throughout our time away and left our home spotless. I don't think our dogs even missed us because she cared for them so lovingly. She will our first choice for future stays!”
“Tabitha was really good with Ace, and was reliable. It was raining a lot so she had her work cut out with timing potty breaks, but I know Ace enjoyed having her here at night. I would definitively use Tabitha again!”
“Samantha was the ideal pet sitter for our 2 dogs! Great communication from start and finish and kept us in the loop about the dogs while we were gone. Would highly recommend for anyone needing reliable pet support”
“Once again, Lilli was amazing! We had a family emergency and Lilli went above and beyond to help us out. Our pups are always taken care of and we never have to worry when Lilli is with them. I cannot sing her praises enough.”
“Sierra did a terrific job with our animals. She checked in appropriately and even dealt with a sick puppy. The house was in good order when we got home. I would definitely use her again.”
“My baby had a wonderful time with Angela! I was able to enjoy my time away knowing she was in such good hands. She went above and beyond when I realized the Vet had sent me the wrong food. I would definitely recommend Angela and hope she is available for my next trip.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lenexa is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lenexa
Tabitha was AMAZING. I needed a last minute sitter for my newly adopted 1 year old great pyr and she promptly responded and asked great questions to make sure she was a god fit prior. She arrived early and got all information needed. She was calm and attentive, took him out often, and gave him lots of love and patience as he is quite the anxious pup and can’t be left alone yet. She respected all of my home rules/asks as well as my rules/asks with my pup. She watched my boy for a total of 12 hours (she originally agreed to 10, but I was forced to stay overtime at my job and she volunteered tested to stay without question. Not to mention it was 4 pm to 4 am!) Tabitha is kind and very educated with animals, and provided a great report when I got home. After just their first interaction my boy was sad to see her go. She truly does this for the animals! I highly recommend Tabitha for any future sitter seekers in the future!
Lindsey took good care of our dog!! This was our third time leaving our dog with her 2 chexkins and one multi day overnights in our house). He has always been excited when she arrives, and he is happy when we return. I look forward to having her take care of Roy again!
Lauren was fantastic as a dog sitter and such a sweet person! She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. She kept my house so clean, I couldn’t even tell she was there. My dog has some restrictions with furniture and stairs, due to his back, and she handled it perfectly. I will for sure be using Lauren again.
Katelyn was amazing! I felt uneasy leaving my cats, but as soon as they met Katelyn, my mind was put at ease. She is definitely a cat whisperer! She went the extra mile by sending me pictures morning and night and giving me updates on all of their shenanigans! I would highly recommend her!
Jennifer is a phenomenal pet sitter! We have never really left our dog with anyone other family before. But Jennifer made the experience completely worry-free! We highly recommend her for your pet and we will absolutely book with her again. Thank you for everything, Jennifer!
Our pups fell in love with Linda immediately! I have 2 mini long hair dachshunds and she had an immediate bond with them. She sent me many pictures and updated me that they were eating and playing well which made me very happy. It is the first time we had left them with someone other than family and we were very satisfied! We will call her again 😁

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lenexa on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,655 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 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.

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.
