“Melissa was communicative, sent photos and was overall great to work with. Our dogs were very calm when we came back which is great! She will be watching. Then again in two weeks and are overall happy with the support.”
“Julianne stayed with our two high maintenance (emotionally not medically) cats while we were away. Our one cat behaves like a dog and was her companion the whole time judging by the pictures and updates :) Came home to super well adjusted and happy cats… as if we never left.. which was exactly what we wanted! Would highly recommend!”
“Vitality B. Is fantastic pet sitter. He's responsible, dependable, and our kitties love having him around. He sends us updates and we feel very fortunate to find him through Rover. This is our first time using an app to book a pet sitter. And this is our 3rd time having Vitali here at our home. You will have peace of mind if you hire Vitali. And your pets will love him too!!”
“Alexander did a great job of taking care of our dog Pink. I could tell because I came home to a very calm dog. Also, he kept the house clean and was a great communicator. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.”
“Coralie watched our cat while we were away and was wonderful. She was very flexible with our late booking and gave Yogi fun and entertainment. We got home to a very happy and relaxed cat. She also communicated the entire time very well and the house was wonderfully clean. We’ll definitely book with Coralie again”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life! Over my 25 years, my family has had two Rottweilers, a Pitbull, and a cat, all of whom lived long, loved lives before sadly passing from old age. Today, my family has a Cocker Spaniel, several Yorkies, and two cats, all of whom I absolutely adore! Having cared for everything from large, energetic breeds to smaller dogs and cats, I’m comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also experienced caring for pets as they grow older, so I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and adapting to their needs. I recently moved into my own place, and one of the things I miss most is coming home to my family’s dogs and cats. That’s a big part of why I’d love to become a pet sitter! I genuinely enjoy the companionship animals bring, and I’d be thrilled to give your furry family members the same love, attention, and affection I’ve always given my own. I know pets aren’t just animals; they’re family. My goal is to make sure yours feel just as safe, comfortable, and loved with me as they do with you! My schedule is pretty flexible! I typically work from home or close by, which means I can be a very present and attentive sitter rather than leaving your pets alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs regular walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, or just someone to keep them company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as much as possible. I’m also open to overnight stays and boarding! Since I live on my own, I have the flexibility to make your pet feel welcome and give them plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I’m always happy to communicate and coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! Having grown up caring for several different breeds, including large dogs and smaller companions, I understand that every animal has its own personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. That includes following feeding instructions, keeping up with walks and bathroom breaks, providing plenty of affection, and respecting any specific rules or preferences you have. I recently moved into my own place, where I have a fenced yard for your furry friends to safely enjoy some fresh air, playtime, and exercise! My home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where your pets can relax and receive plenty of individual attention. I’ll always supervise outdoor activities and make sure your pet feels safe and welcome. I also believe communication is incredibly important! I’m more than happy to send regular pictures, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets the way I’ve always treated my own: with love, patience, kindness, and lots of cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!).
“Belinda was an amazing sitter for our Ralphie! I knew from her initial responsiveness and kindness and her superlative reviews on Rover that Ralphie would be in great hands. Belinda really does check all the boxes. She is a wonderful communicator, sharing updates at a perfect frequency. I appreciated all the photos and videos capturing great interactions between her and Ralphie. In addition, Belinda left the house spotless, laundered the towels that she used, and washed Ralph's plates before leaving. It was an easy, pleasant, and stress-free experience that I hope to be able to repeat in the near future. Thank you sincerely, Bel!”
“Yessenia took excellent care of our two pups & our home! Her communication was great throughout our trip, and she provided a lot of pictures. We would love to have her sit for us again!”
About: Neighbors, family and friends trusted and relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and play with their fur babies and can count on me to love their pets🐾 I currently have a wide availability during the week and weekends (select Sundays available upon request) for Mondays-Saturdays for the morning hours (7am-11am), afternoons (12 pm-4:30pm) and evening hours (4:30pm-9pm). I have a clean and quiet home and open space for play and big couch for cuddles and dog tv watching. My house has three levels for any fur baby to sit on the landing spot of the stairs
About: I am happy to help out with all pets! I have grown up with a range of animals(dogs, cats, turtles, birds, fish) and currently own two cats. I am a teacher, so I am looking to help out in the afternoon or in the evenings. Outside of that, I am pretty flexible. I am calm and adaptable, and willing to let your animal take the lead. I am happy to help out with whatever they need, and prioritize animal comfort and safety!
“Scott is a great Rover sitter! He was wonderful at house sitting for our dog and cat for a weekend. He is very communicative and gave timely detailed updates, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely be hiring Scott again!”
“Jenny watched over our cat and our house for 3 weeks and did an absolutely wonderful job. We couldn't have been happier with her care of both the cat and the house -- including keeping us informed during a terrible storm. She's caring and has a delightful sense of humor. You should hire her.”
About: Hi, I’m Elysia! Nice to meet you! I’m new to Rover, but not to taking care of pets! I’m a recent college biology graduate preparing for medical school and I’ve been taking care of my neighbor’s pets since I was in middle school. I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats (young & old & many different breeds) for multiple days, including overnight sitting and of course, drop-ins and going on walks! I would love to be your next sitter and your pet’s new friend!! I’m currently in an accelerated graduate program, so my weekday schedule can be busy. I’m generally available for early-morning walks and overnight stays, with more flexibility on weekends! I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and loved while you are away! I will treat them like family, follow their usual routine, respect your home, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Kensington
Karen stayed with our anxious dog, Gus, while we were away for 5 nights. She took great care of Gus and sent frequent detailed updates and photos which we loved! Gus had some GI upset while we were gone and Karen was so communicative about his symptoms and offered solutions along the way. We are so happy we found a great sitter for Gus that we can trust and we would definitely recommend her!
Vicky was an absolute dream of a house and dog sitter! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—she kept us completely at ease with regular, thoughtful updates and photos of our dogs. It was clear right away that they were happy, comfortable, and receiving wonderful care. Beyond being fantastic with the dogs, Vicky was the perfect house guest. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages, and she left our home spotless and well cared for. She is incredibly respectful, reliable, and attentive. We would rebook Vicky in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter!
Rachel is amazing! We had a last minute change of plans and needed a dog sitter on short notice. Rachel was extremely communicative and kind. Our dog Barney loved her and had a wonderful time and we got such sweet pictures from her. We strongly recommend her to others and would love to have her dog sit again!!
Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs! One of our dogs can be a little skeptical of new people, but she managed to earn his trust on the very first day! She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and caring, and truly treated our dogs as if they were her own. She even offered to stay very late until we were on our way home from the airport, just to make sure they were well taken care of. She genuinely goes above and beyond, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We couldn’t recommend Christina more highly to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!!
Toni spent three days in our apartment with our aging cavachon and it was a great success. Our dog is usually standoffish with strangers but she was very comfortable with Toni, who sent us photos and texts on how things were going, including daily medications. I would enthusiastically recommend Toni.
Scott was amazing. He took great care of our 2 dogs and 5 cats!! When we got home they were happy and content. We knew he gave them love and attention throughout the week. Scott was a great communicator, sending lots of photos and videos. I would highly recommend him!
Everything was perfect start to finish. Good communication with our booking request. Sabria took the time to meet our dog Mandy and get to know the lay of the land. Reached out often while we were away to check in and send photos. Clearly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Our dog has a few issues on both behavior and medical fronts. Zero issues on her watch. We’re super relieved to have Sabria in our midst.
Julianne did everything we asked during a two-day overnight for our big boy. She visited beforehand to provide reassurance that this was a job she was up to. And she sure was up to it. She communicated very effectively throughout. She instantly bonded with Zeka and was there for him throughout the difficult nights of his needing to pee frequently. We could see that Julianne is very good with animals of all shapes, sizes and kinds. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Julianne for your pet support needs. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.
This was my dogs first experience with Zach. My dog cried when he realized Zach had left! Zach was on time, very attentive to all he was asked to do for a needy greyhound and a lively macaw. I received regular updates and pictures. Zach was great and I will have him again! Thank you Zach!

The average cost of House Sitting in North Kensington is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $60 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.

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 North Kensington 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 North Kensington 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 North Kensington 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.
