About: With nearly a decade of pet-sitting experience, I have helped with training cats and dogs in skills such as "sit", "down", and "high-five". I have a six-year-old Australian Labradoodle, whom I regularly care for. I'm a student in Kingston and work as a lifeguard/swim instructor, so my schedule varies by season. I like to plan my Rover commitments monthly and prioritize dog walking services. I enjoy providing pet care while I'm away from my hometown (Ottawa), as I have a dog of my own whom I miss dearly. When providing house sitting services, I am dedicated to maintaining open communication with clients via daily texts, photos, and/or emails. Please let me know of your pet's favourite activities, including walks, playing fetch, arranging play-dates, and visiting dog parks.
“Myriam was prompt, professional and a fantastic communicator. We’re grateful for her compassion and attention to detail when it came to caring for our 2 cats. We will absolutely be booking with Myriam again in the future! Thank you!”
“Treena looked after my cat Sweet Cheeks for a week coming to my home twice daily. I can tell by the pictures that were sent to me that my cat absolutely fell in love with Treena. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Treena for taking good care of Sweet Cheeks”
“Excellent cat caregiver. Alyce listened to all our cat care instructions and provided great support. All our 3 cats are very fond of her, even our reserved ragdoll. Alyce communicated quickly after each visit and sent us many pictures of our happy house lions.”
About: Hi there! I’m Ekene (feel free to call me Kenny!) 😊 I’m a medical student in Kingston who loves pets! I’ve done a lot of pet-sitting for friends for both their puppies and kittens over the years. The youngest I’ve pet-sat was an 8-week old kitten! Going on walks is one of my favourite activities to pass time, and I’d love to have some furry friends join me. More than happy to just run around and play catch too 🎾 I’m a 2nd year medical student right now, and my schedule/days have pretty consistent hours. After my classes or hospital/clinic work wrap up in the mornings and early afternoons, I’ll be free for walks on most evenings on weekdays, and all-day on weekends. On days when my school programming wraps up around noon, I’ll be free even earlier for afternoon walks! I would love to set up a meet & greet with your pet before we start walks or visits, so that we can get to know each other and establish trust first & foremost. I want every pet to feel comfortable!
“Peter was amazing! He was prompt and communicative about how my cat was doing while I was away, and I felt so much relief knowing my boy was in good hands! Absolutely recommen!”
“Shelley is so awesome! I could tell that she genuinely cared about my cat, and she took great care of him (she even learned how to give him his inhaler!) Henry loved hanging out with her, and I would absolutely ask her to care for him again :)”
About: Heyy! I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I’m especially experienced with reactive and separation anxiety dogs. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, so I always take the time to make them feel safe and cared for. I genuinely love hosting and caring for animals, and I’d be excited to give your pet the same attention, patience, and care I would give my own. I’m currently a university student with only 1–4 hours of classes per day during the week, and Mondays are completely free. Outside of class and on weekends, I’m usually home with plenty of time to care for your pets. I have lots of time and energy for pups, including walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I keep my home very clean and organized and have quality pet supplies to make pets feel comfortable. For daycare and boarding, I can care for pets in my home or yours. My home has a spacious, private bedroom that can be used as a safe and comfortable space for your pet when they need quiet time or rest. I’m also very attentive to cleanliness and will regularly clean up after pets to keep their environment fresh and hygienic. For house sitting, I’m flexible and can potentially stay at your home full-time depending on your needs and preferences.
“Courtney was awesome! She communicated well with me and sent pictures and updates that made me feel like my cats were being well taken care of. Thank you and I will be reaching back out!”
About: I’ve had plenty of experience caring for dogs since I got my own when I was 8. I have been around dogs of all different breeds, ages, and sizes, and I love them all! I have always been the go to dog sitter for friends and family because I am reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. Every dog has its own needs and routine so I will always make sure they are loved, cared for, and come home happy! I am currently in my 3rd year at Queen’s studying Health. I am available all day Thursday-Sunday. I have limited weekly commitments outside of classes so I should be very flexible with timing. I live in a central area in Kingston with nearby parks and lots of walkable streets. My home also has plenty of room for a dog and it has an outdoor area!
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.
“Susan is so kind, thoughtful, flexible in terms of scheduling and an animal lover! My cat loved her and was very well taken care of by her. If i need a sitter in the future, I will definitely book her. The best!!!?”
“Vanessa is very attentive and took excellent care of my two cats over a week-long period. She left great photos and videos of them and even watered my plants. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I’ve had my own dogs for 13 years so I am patient , reliable, and have genuine love for dogs of all ages. I’m attentive to routines, comfortable with puppies and senior dogs, which make sure each pet feels safe, calm, and cared for. I am a queens student who has lots of spare time in between classes, after school and on weekends to spend with ur fluffy friend💌 I care by putting my whole heart into these pups. I bring toys, give lots of cuddles, and treat them like my own. I like to make sure my own dogs have really had enough time outside since a lot of them time animals are inside too often, i’ll always make sure your dog has had enough love and outdoor time.
About: Hello! I'm Thalia, and I live in downtown Kingston neighbourhood close to many parks. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I grew up with and cared for a Wheaton Terrier for 14 years, and have been a dog lover my whole life. With such a flexible work schedule, I have a lot of free time that I'd love to spend hanging with a doggo! I am comfortable with dogs of all ages. I can give outdoor breaks whenever needed, and at least a 30-60 minute walk each day. I'm happy to follow special care instructions and can help with medication if needed. I will make sure that your dog has a very fun, safe and comfortable time with lots of love and attention! As I work from home full time, I am very flexible and can include pet care into my daily routine to fit the needs of your pets 😊 I live close to many parks for lots of outdoor play time, and in a safe neighbourhood for long walks. I do not yet have a dog of my own, so can devote all my attention to taking care of yours!
About: Growing up with our family dog I’ve gained lots of experience. I am very patient and loving! With my years caring for different dogs, I learned to be strict (any rules you may want your fur babies to follow), this helps me keeping them safe! I enjoy spending time with animals and pick up their personalities and traits. If you would like, I’d love to get to know your pets and have a great time together with them:) I am a university student. I am mature and dependable! I only have few classes at the moment so I spend most time at home and available for walks and play time. I have a good sized apartment for your fur baby to hang out. My cat Ellie can be super friendly when we take the introduction slow. I live close to city park and I would be honoured to walk your dog:)
“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...”
“Luke was punctual and my pup, who is cautious with people, warmed up to him almost instantly. He took the time to get to know our feeding/walk routine and asked all the right questions to ensure pups safety moving forward. Thank you Luke!!”

This was my second time asking Alyce to take care of my cats, and she was soooo kind again. She followed all the instructions carefully and sent me so many cute photos of my cats during each visit. After a long trip, it was such a joy to come home and see my happy cats. I’m really grateful for her care and would happily ask her to help again!
Myriam always quickly responded to messages, seemed very focused and structured and even took care of things around the house that we were not able to deal with because we were away. It did not take our cats long to warm up to her and we are happy with how it all worked out!
Treena looked after my cat Sweet Cheeks for a week coming to my home twice daily. I can tell by the pictures that were sent to me that my cat absolutely fell in love with Treena. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Treena for taking good care of Sweet Cheeks
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about Erina! She was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, kind, incredibly punctual, and amazing with my cat, Rooney. You can tell right away that she really knows her stuff, and having her nursing background gave me so much confidence that Rooney was in great hands. She was so sweet and gentle with him, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with his care. She was reliable, knowledgeable, professional, and just genuinely lovely to deal with. I’m so happy I found her and would recommend her without hesitation. Rooney and I are both big fans!
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!
Anna and Aleksei were amazing! They took great care of Joe, sent thoughtful updates and photos after every visit, and were incredibly attentive. During one visit they noticed something wasn't right, found that Joe had accidentally gotten himself stuck in the bathroom, stayed longer to make sure he was okay, and even offered to come back later that day at no extra charge to make sure he was okay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!
Tess was amazing with my cat Toby! She was reliable, kind, and kept me updated throughout her visits, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she cared for him. I came home knowing Toby had been safe and looked after, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kingston on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 200 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Kingston. About 88% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
