“i hired mary to check in & walk my rescue girl rayon on a full day i would be away. i wanted rayon to be comfortable with someone coming (hello separation anxiety) so i requested a couple walks beforehand. as soon as i met mary i immediately felt at ease leaving my girl with her. she is incredibly patient, grounding, and so loving! (with some great training tips up her sleeve) mary kept me in the loop with each visit which allowed me to enjoy my day. thank you so much - ray & i are grateful to have found you! we both look forward to seeing you again!”
About: My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet. We have a fully fenced yard and a spacious home where dogs can play, relax, and feel comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, runs, or simply lounging and getting plenty of affection, I'll tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, and boarding for families while they're at work or away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I'll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate your pet's regular routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and a spacious, pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel secure. I always follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines, and I provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've had pets my whole life, I've helped on farms, even helped a new cat momma with birthing a litter. I absolutely love animals and would love to care for your little (or big) furry companion. I work full-time as a Deafblind Intervention Specialist. My work is mobile by nature, meaning I'm on the road driving clients around and I can accomodate pee-breaks or walks during my lunch hour and/or between clients. I'm very flexible on the weekends as well and can also accomodate evenings. I respect the autonomy of the pet as well as trust that their human has their best interest in mind and commit to providing them the standard of care that they expect for their pet.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was a young child. Growing up in an environment full of animals has taught me great responsibility and the importance of following owner instructions and ensuring animal safety. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and three cats until their old age. Then I grew up with a Bernese Mountain Dog, three more cats, and a German Shepherd. Cash, our German Shepherd, is 11 years old and thriving, and he lives a privileged life with his sister, a calico cat named Krissy, who is 16. As someone who leaves detailed instructions on how to care for Cash and Krissy, I understand and respect the rules that owners have for their fur babies, as they are not suggestions but rules to keep their pets safe. And I intend to do just that, while making sure they are happy. I am a student in Kingston near Portsmouth Village and available most mornings, evenings, and on weekends when I do not have classes (excluding Thursdays). In Client Home: I follow the pet's existing schedule, including walks and feeding. I make sure that all hazards are removed and appropriate doors are locked/closed to ensure the pet is safe. I also make sure that the environment is clean, including litter boxes and waste bags, for the pet's safety and to respect the owner's home.
About: I was raised around animals my whole life & love being outside. My childhood dog recently passed & I miss going for walks as frequently. I'm 25 and have dogsat for family and friend's a handful of times which has given me experience with small and large dogs. I'm a morning person so my timing is flexible! Im a shift worker so my schedule varries, but please feel free to message me with any scheduling inquiries. Before 10:30AM is usually a guarantee. I cared for my king Charles cavalier until she passed just under a year ago. More recently, I babysat my sister's great Dane and a family friend's shitzu. I love all dogs and I'm fit so I can handle larger dogs well; I can also take dogs for runs if preferred.
“Kate was a wonderful friend to our dog! She was flexible with us as our timing needs shifted, sent pictures and notes, and even gave her an extra walk before heading out. Highly recommend!”
About: For my whole life, we have had a family dog or two in our home. Since moving to Kingston from the west, I have sincerely missed the companionship and unconditional love dogs provide. I'm hoping to extend my love for dogs by caring for yours! Since I am a student, I have flexibility during the day while working a remote job for the summer. I am able to check on your pups or take them for a lovely walk until 4:00PM. I am fully comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes as long as leashes and harnesses are provided. Additionally, I can spend time with your pup and administer food and medication, if needed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a teenager. Family and friends have always trusted me to care for their pets responsibly while also providing a fun and loving environment. I’m currently working full time and would love to get out and take care of animals. Every day looks different so I am available mornings and evenings. I have a family border collie. I am able to take animals for long walks, let them out and give them food and water and provide any care they may need.
About: I have loved and worked with animals for over 10 years and am passionate about helping animals find safe, loving homes. As a foster parent with the Kingston Humane Society, I have helped care for and place many cats into their forever homes. I have experience working with cats with specific medical and behavioural needs, including overweight cats, senior cats, and cats recovering from dental procedures and surgeries. I have also worked with local humane societies to help raise funds for spay and neuter programs and have worked to support adoption efforts within the community! I have all a cat would need at my place! All you need to do is bring your kitty. Feel free to message me if you have any questions at all. I work from home, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention, companionship, or quiet alone time depending on their needs and personality. I always try to make pets feel as safe and comfortable as possible. With cats especially, I usually let them come to me first instead of forcing interaction since every cat is different. If they want attention and cuddles, I’m happy to give them lots of love, but if they’d rather have their own space, that’s totally okay too. I try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible and make sure they have a calm, clean, and low-stress environment. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a lot of shy, senior, and special-needs cats, so I’ve learned how important patience and trust are when caring for animals.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I’m especially good with energetic dogs and shy cats, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m currently available at anytime. I even work overnight and have very flexible schedule so if you need me for in the weekdays or in the weekend I’m always available. I live in an apartment however I live close to the park so I will take care of them at home and at the park
About: I will take care of your pet as if it's mine, and I'm doing it just because i love then but can't have mine at this time. I have had my own cats and dog and I know them well. Thank you for trusting me, i will do my best to make you and your pet happy. I am a graduate student and my schedule is completely flexible during the summer. I just need to know 1 day in advance so i can plan my day. I am living in a relatively big apartment with an unfenced yard. Pets allowed everywhere and on bed. I don't have other pets, and I will be here until October.
“Rose is very easy to communicate with, and was thoughtful to check about any particular things she needed to know before looking after Rudy. Rudy loved hanging out and their long walk, and I would absolutely recommend Rose to care for your pet...”
About: Experienced pet sitter, offering dependable, loving care for your pets. As a devoted animal lover, I treat every pet with the same kindness as my own. I work remotely, and am able to fit in your pets needs during the week, and then as well on weekends. I'm happy to prioritize my clients and their furry friends to make sure they have care and attention. I have a fenced in yard, and a great setup for pets in home. I work remotely, and am home all day to provide companionship and attention to your pets at my home, or if setup allows it, at yours.
About: I have taken care of dogs since my family adopted our first miniature schnauzer when I was seven. Since then I have adopted two adult cats and have tried to spend as much of my free time as possible around animals of all kinds. I work full time, but am available for mornings, evenings, weekends and overnights. I work remotely two days for week and have some flexibility in my hours at my day job. My cats have been on special diets or medications at times and I am comfortable accommodating this. I can work with cats of any temperament, my own youngest was semi-feral when she joined my family. I am comfortable providing enrichment, crating and walking dogs of any size! I definitely have a soft spot for terriers!
About: What sets me apart is my patience, calm approach, and ability to understand each dog's personality. As the owner of a large rescue dog, I’m comfortable caring for both large and small breeds, including dogs that are shy, anxious, energetic, or need extra patience. I’ve helped safely recover lost dogs that ran away from their owners by understanding their body language and earning their trust rather than chasing them. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine carefully and provide updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently a full time employee so I cant take care of any dog before 5 pm in the weekdays. I am flexible in Weekends. Whether in my home or yours, I always take time to understand each dog’s needs by speaking with the owner about their behavior, routine, and any triggers. I closely monitor dogs at all times and stay aware of their body language and surroundings to prevent any unsafe situations. I have experience handling different dog personalities and situations calmly and responsibly. I never leave dogs unattended in risky environments and always prioritize their safety and well-being. If I’m caring for your dog in my home, I introduce them carefully and keep them separated from my own dog at first until I’m confident they are comfortable and safe together. If not they are always going to be separated my dog will be crated.
About: My family has owned a pet sitting business for 20 plus years. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am a university student with a super flexible schedule. I am available 7 days a week! I can also tailor based on clients needs I treat all pets as I would my own. It is my priority to ensure I follow all client preferences and maintain the routine that the pets have with their owners.
About: I grew up on a farm with many pets including farm animals which I helped care for. I was previously employed at a no-kill animal shelter where I was responsible for all aspects of dog and cat care - including exercising, feeding/watering on schedule, administering medication, bathing and grooming. I’m working part time at night so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your fur babies during the day. I can drive but I don’t mind walking your dogs in any weather! I prefer to come to you to care for your pet, whether drop-in, walking or daycare. I have one kitty in my home who very nervous around other animals.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Kingston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Kingston 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!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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 .
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
