“When I hired Lisa she hadn't completed any jobs through Rover. I met her in person and my gut told me to give her a chance and hire her. I am SOOOOO glad I did. Lisa provided EXCEPTIONAL care to my 7 month old cockapoo, Max. She checked in with me the day before I left just to reassure me that he will be in good hands. Every day I was gone, she provided multiple updates, photos and videos of their daily adventures. She taught Max how to play catch. The first video she sent of him catching a ball was hilarious! I had no idea he could do that so it was a complete and amazing surprise to see him leaping acroos the screen and catching his ball! She stayed at my home with Max except for when she worked her FT day job. There were a couple days that she got off her regular job early and instead of doing her own thing, she came home to hang out with Max. She walked him multiple times a day. She created a routine where every evening they would watch movies with dogs in them because Max loves them, play catch and then have patio time. She left the house in immaculate condition at the end of her stay. She even washed the linens and swiffered the floors! The last day of her booking she was to leave at 8:45pm as I wasn't getting home until after midnight. However, she couldn't bare to leave him in his crate so she stayed until I got home. When I arrived, she had framed one of the photos she took of Max and had it with a note thanking me for letting her watch Max!!!! To top it off, when she left the house at 1:30am Max scratched at the door for her and cried and cried because he missed her. It broke my heart and at the same time validated that Lisa was the right choice to care for my beloved Max!!! I would hire her in a heartbeat again!!! She is THE BEST!!!!”
“We had never used Rover before, so we were super nervous how it would work with our fur babies. Erin eased our worries completely, even doing a test run for an hour before our vacation! One of our girls can be kind of hesitant/growly at people she doesn't know, but she warmed up to Erin immediately. The entire time we were gone, Erin sent us updates and pictures...making it so much easier for us to enjoy our vacation!! We can't say enough how amazing she is and we will definitely be using her again!!!”
“Emily was extremely patient with our anxious and cautious dog. She kept me updated on how he was doing throughout our time away and made sure we knew he was in good hands. Would highly reccomend!”
“Tabitha has sat at my home numerous times. I have added a kitten to my clan of fur kids since she started and Tabitha was more than happy and capable to manage the new addition along with my two dogs. She communicates well and keeps me informed while I’m gone. Maverick, Ginger, Charlie and I appreciate everything she does for us.”
“Sam was amazing. Not only did she take care of our dog. She helped with a couple things around the house and left it as nobody was ever there. Great communication and super friendly.”
“Piper was a wonderful house sitter for our dog, Diamond! From the very start, her communication was fantastic, making us feel comfortable and well-informed while we were away. She regularly sent us photos, which really put our minds at ease and showed us how happy Diamond was. When we got home, Diamond was happy, relaxed, eager to see us, and clearly well cared for. Piper also left our house spotless, which we truly appreciated. Her steady communication throughout the stay made everything stress-free, and we’re so grateful for that. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Piper house-sit again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Haley is so great with our dogs and treats them like family! She was super responsive and provided pictures throughout her stay in our home. Haley is my #1 choice when choosing someone to watch our dogs. She attends to all of our crazy pups needs by taking them on walks, to our dog park or snuggling on a calm day!”
“Stepanie was WONDERFUL! I usually worry when I'm away from my sweet girl, but I received lots of pictures and notes and could see she was in good hands! She is kind, responsible, and neat!”
“Phillip and Megan were wonderful! They gave the dogs undivided attention, helped my diabetic boy with his insulin shot twice a day, they are such nice people they left my house clean, I can’t say enough how much I love them!”
“Took great care of our aging senior dog while we were out of town. Great communication and photo updates throughout our time away. House was clean and spotless when we came back - she even brought all of our packages and mail into the house for us!”
“Katie is our number one, go-to dog sitter. She sends pic updates while we’re away, is very responsive to messages, and our pup loves hanging out with her. Highly recommend!”
“Lulu is such a great communicator and provides wonderful updates and pictures during her stays. She is very attuned to the kitties and goes above and beyond to ensure they are taken care of and well adjusted.”
“You know you’ve had a great dog sitter when you come home from a trip and the dogs act like they don’t even care! 🤣 Susan was amazing with keeping us posted through pictures and texts about how our girls were doing the whole time. She went above and beyond spending time with them and just generally easing our mind about leaving our furkids behind. Will definitely book her again if she is available!”
“Kelly is amazing. If you are looking for a kind, friendly, trustworthy sitter… you just found her. Kelly, we can’t thank you enough for looking after our girl Kaya while we were away. You are exactly the person we were looking for. 5 STARS *****”
About: I have had pets in my home since childhood. Taking care of dogs and/or cats is second nature to me. I believe they are part of the family and should be treated as such. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Typically potty breaks & play time is every 2 to 4 hours. I am open to any special requests. I have a fenced yard. I also have a friendly male dog who your dog can pal around with. He is neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations. I recently added a female puppy to my family; she is a "foster fail" who chose us. She would love to join in on the fun. She is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations. I am open to special requests.
About: I am currently providing primarily providing dog walking services. I intend to walk every dog at least 3 miles. With the exceptions for older dogs I will walk slower and for younger dogs I will walk more brisk so that when I bring your fur baby home they are thoroughly excercised and they will be well rested. Furthermore I will always bring my dog water bottle so that you all of your dogs needs are met while they are in my care. I am currently in school so I am mostly unavailable Tuesday-Friday but if you reach out to me most Mondays I have an idea of how my schedule is looking for the week and would be more then happy to make arrangements. I look forward to making new furry friends in the Overland Park are and the surrounding areas. I currently go to school Tuesday-Friday, but im available most evenings during those days and I am available every other day of the week I do not have a place to care for dogs, but if at a client's home I will follow your instructions to the letter and ensure your dog is kept on any schedule you would like them kept on.
“Thomas was great! He was so kind to our cats & handled a unique situation where he house sat and paid extra attention to our cat who was coming home from surgery and a hospital stay. Great communication, trust worthy, and left our house in perfect condition! Thanks so much!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lenexa is $49
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lenexa
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!
Lindsey was great! She accepted my last-minute booking request and also agreed to change her availability to make the next weekend work as well. She came to meet my dogs and get instructions before her stay, and her communication before and during her stays was outstanding! We very much appreciated the updates and photos too. When we returned after both trips, our dogs were happy and our house looked just as we left it.
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!
Mackenzie was a lifesaver for me!! I needed someone immediately and she communicated well and came right over and took care of business. My dogs were comfortable with her off the bat, and she gave them lots of attention and cuddles while I was away, and sent the cutest photos. I knew my pups were in kind and capable hands, and I would hire her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lenexa is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
