“I was very happy to have found Alyce to take care of our home and our kitty cat Princess. From the moment I met her I knew she was one to care for sweet Princess. I had total trust in her abilities and had no worries while we were away.”

“Thalia was absolutely wonderful with our boy, Bohdi! Bohdi is a very nervous Australian Shepherd, so we were a little anxious about leaving him in someone else’s care. From the moment Thalia arrived, she was patient, caring, and incredibly understanding of his personality. Over the three days she spent with him in our home, she was able to help him relax and made sure he had a fun, exciting, and comfortable time. She also sent us lots of updates and photos throughout the days, which gave us such peace of mind and made us feel confident that we had made the right choice. Thalia is trustworthy, experienced, compassionate, and clearly loves what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our special boy. We would absolutely recommend Thalia to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home.”

About: It brightens up my day when I see a dog walking around and even more when I get to pet it. I love dogs and cats, I will go the extra mile for them, I can stop by before and after work if needed. I have lots of patience and will work with any types of dogs and personalities. I enjoy being outside quite often, if your dog needs to burn energy I can help with that. Just e-mail me or text me to get more details. I currently do not have any animals in the house and looking for a furry friend to hangout with and take care of but I am gone to often to get one of my own. Your pets will be in great hands. I am currently in Kingston, ON until I receive my passport back. I have been here since August 2026. I am waiting for my green card to return home. I am available for all types of activities and willing to house sit, if needed. I am very responsible and love alldogs, cats and any other pets.

About: I’ve been caring for our family pets and my own pets my entire life. I’ve provided a home for both cats and dogs with a variety of different personalities and needs. I’ve been trusted with walking, feeding and watching my family and friends fur babies on many occasions. My goal is that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring they receive the patience, attention, and care they deserve. I’m currently a student. I’m available between classes for potty breaks, walks, or some play time. I am also available after classes, time will vary based on my schedule, and weekends. I have two lovely cats in my apartment, one of which will be your pets best friend, and the other prefers to keep to herself. I will do my best to ensure your pet sticks to their regular routine, whether it’s in my home or yours.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have a German Shepherd/Husky mix, and caring for her has taught me the importance of consistency, exercise, enrichment, patience, and understanding that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re apart. I also love sending plenty of photo updates so you can see how they’re doing. As a Queen’s University student with most of my classes online, I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions so they can stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they have plenty of exercise, enrichment, fresh food and water, and lots of love and attention. I treat every pet like family and will always respect both your home and your pet’s routine. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 12 years old, starting with my uncle’s English Shepherd who taught me how loyal and loving dogs can be. At 14, I got my first dog—a mixed breed who quickly became my best friend and deepened my love for caring for animals. Since then, dogs have always been a big part of my life. Every member of my family has a furry companion, from Chow Chows and Shar-Peis to Border Collies and Schnauzers, and I get along great with all of them. I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and especially enjoy spending time with large breeds. Caring for dogs feels natural to me—it’s something I’ve grown up doing and genuinely love. I'm currently working in hybrid modality. Which give me the flexibility to take care of your pet, and walking a couple of extra times if needed when working from home. When caring for pets—whether in my home or my client’s home—I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and safe. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can make them feel at ease. I always follow the owner’s feeding, walking, and medication schedules closely, and make sure there’s plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection throughout the day. If I’m caring for pets in my client’s home, I respect their space, maintain a clean environment, and keep things consistent so their pet feels secure in familiar surroundings. When pets (for now small dogs only) stay with me, they’re treated like family. Regular walks, and lots of attention and respecting his/her space in a new house. I have a fenced backyard were we can play and have fun. I also love sending photo updates so owners can see how their pets are doing while they’re away.

About: I could take care of hamsters. I also had an American shorthair cat in China, and after taking care of it for two years, I came to Canada. When I was in high school in Canada, my homestay owner had two dogs, a German Shepherd and a Poodle. When the homestay owner was traveling, I walked the dogs, helped feed them, and got along well with the two dogs. When I was in my first year of Queen’s University. I also helped my friend take care of her two cats. I am still a student at Queen’s. I’m a university student, I have free time almost every day after school. I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. I also have a hamster in my home. So I can also take care of hamsters. I actually prefer home feeding services because I live with my friends, so it may not be convenient for my roommates, But before I go to feed the pets, I will ask the owner to understand the pets’ eating habits, physical condition and even personality. This way I can make better choices about food and interactions.

About: I have always had dogs growing up. Since moving to my own apartment, I have fostered through the Eastern Ontario Potcake Rescue organization. I love caring for pets until I am ready to have one of my own. I work Wednesday to Saturday and am free Sunday to Tuesday for full service care. I will be with your pet 100% of the time with no distractions! I live in an apartment with my boyfriend (who also loves dogs) so I am only able to take in small to medium sized dogs. However, I can house sit and walk any sized dog no problem. There is a park near my apartment where I can take the dog to run around and go to the bathroom. I also have a medium sized crate if needed.

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years through pet ownership, fostering, volunteering at my local SPCA, and pet sitting for friends, family, and local clients. One of my most rewarding experiences was fostering a pregnant rescue dog who gave birth while in my care. I helped care for both the mother and her puppies, giving me hands-on experience with newborn puppies and attentive, compassionate care. Through volunteering at the SPCA, I've worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Combined with my pet sitting experience, I've learned how important it is to understand each dog's unique personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. What sets me apart is my rescue and foster experience, my patience, and my genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own and always provide dependable care, regular photo updates, and plenty of attention so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I'm home from university for the summer and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I currently work part-time at a restaurant a few shifts each week, with shifts typically lasting no more than five hours, so I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time outdoors and love making sure pets get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to give each pet the same love and care I would give my own. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), favorite activities, and any special instructions. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean and secure while providing reliable, attentive care. My priority is making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, and I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kingston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Kingston on Rover is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $89 per night. 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.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kingston 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!

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.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Kingston walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

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 .

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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

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 .
