“Lisa did so amazing! She was so communicative and gave us pictures/videos of the whole day. We just got our puppy two weeks ago and were nervous about being away, but Lisa did amazing with both the puppy and the cantankerous cat”
“Faith did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Holly, while we were away for a week. She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure Holly felt loved and well cared for. We could tell Holly was happy and comfortable the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. We highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Roxanne was absolutely amazing. She came over for a meet and greet the day before and sent us lots of pictures throughout the day of dog sitting. Next time we use rover, we will be contacting Roxanne first!”
“Erin checks on my dogs during the week while I’m at work and has spent the weekend at my house while I was out of town. I trust her completely with my dogs and my home. She’s easy to communicate and work with.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our puppy for our first time leaving him with someone else. She took great care of Winston and sent us many fun pictures showing how much fun he was having with her. She was great at sticking to his schedule we had in place already including food and naps as puppies need there naps. She was very good about communicating and asking questions if need be. I highly recommend Gabriella.”
“Ty was communicative and sent tons of pictures to put us at ease that our dogs were having a good time while we were away! We will definitely book with him again if available on future trips!”
“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!”
“Stephanie was fantastic watching our French Bulldog! We got a number of updates and she went above and beyond. We very much appreciated her and will be using her again!”
“Robin was amazing!! She gave us frequent updates on our animals, including pictures and videos! We could tell our dogs & cats were enjoying the attention and were well cared for!”
“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 😁”
“Krystina did an amazing job taking care of my pup! I couldn’t have asked for anything more. She sent lots of photos and was very responsive. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Lauren did an amazing job watching our puppy this week. She's only 14 weeks so requires someone that can handle an active, at times aggressive puppy and Lauren did an exemplary job. Was such a relief knowing I can travel and not worry about a thing. Thanks Lauren!!”

“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!”
“Annicka was a pleasure to work with! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and easy to talk to. During our initial meeting, she asked thoughtful, detailed questions about our puppy’s care, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout her time with him, she was reliable and kept us well-informed with great updates. We felt completely confident leaving our pup in her care and would absolutely utilize her again, as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”
“We chose Maggie to house-sit our dog for a week while we were vacationing. Our dog is older and boarding was becoming too stressful for her. Maggie is a delightful gal and her love of dogs is quite apparent when you meet her. She took good care of Lexi who was happy and stress-free when we got home. She watered my flowers for me and cared for our home well. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“Tabitha was awesome with our fur babies! She took good care of them and help ease my mind because this was our first time using Rover and didn’t know what to expect. She has such a great heart and was very loving and caring for Moose and Leo! I would highly recommend Tabitha and will be using her again when we have to travel out of town 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”

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 😁
Our first experience with Ashlyn was PERFECT! Her communications were responsive and timely from first contact on Rover through meet-and-greet and the time she spent with Boomer while I was away. She gave Boomer the same kind of attention I would give him, and she respected my home in exactly the way I’d hoped. Truly the ideal experience and I’d recommend her confidently to family and friends.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lenexa on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,747 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.
