About: I am a university student, who loves dogs! I have a large energetic dog of my own at home, who can be quite challenging at times, so I have plenty of experience with dogs who require lots of attention and patience. I am very responsible and caring, and I would love to be able to give your do the care they deserve! Although I am a university student I have a very flexible class schedule! I am free on weekends, Wednesdays, and Fridays all day, and on Mondays Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a few classes so my availability is a bit more limited. That being said, I am happy to be flexible and work with your schedule as much as I can! I’ll always insure a pet will be cared for properly in their own home. I’ll follow their routine as close as possible, including feeding times, walk times, and any other important routines.

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
Amazing!!! Myriam was amazing with our two pups. One is very shy and skittish, she was patient and gained his trust. She was also amazing with our other crazy boy. She kept us updated and was kind. Highly recommend, very satifiaied and 100% will book with Myriam again.
Peter was wonderful! He was able to accommodate us at the last minute when our work schedules suddenly changed, and he was so kind and attentive with our dog. She has some health issues and Peter even made time for a drop-in visit beforehand to meet her and learn about her needs. We really appreciated his flexibility, kindness, and care. We would definitely recommend Peter!
I’m so unbelievably grateful for Courtney as she took such great care of my boys! I very suddenly had a family member pass away and needed to leave town for the services without much notice. Despite the short notice, Courtney was able to accommodate my request and a couple of last minute changes to the schedule. Her communication throughout the entire experience was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous to have someone else taking care of my two dogs. Those nerves quickly went away as soon as my boys met her, they absolutely loved her! Both of my dogs were so excited to see her and seemed to have a wonderful time with her, I was incredibly thankful that I didn’t feel like I had to worry about them at all while I was away. Courtney was very knowledgeable about dogs and, despite just meeting my two, she seemed to understand their behaviors and quirks instantly. She asked great questions about them and their care routine and listened to everything I had to say about them. Courtney was very timely when coming to care for my dogs and took the cutest pictures! The pictures showed me that my dogs were having a wonderful time with her. They were both fed exactly as instructed and they always had fresh water. I will 100% be booking with Courtney in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kingston is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $39 per visit. 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.
There are 202 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Kingston. About 87% of Kingston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
