“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!”
“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!”
“I felt really comfortable having Maya come to our house to feed our cat. She was on time, made sure she knew what to do, and flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again 😊”
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:)
“Courtney was so great with my cat, Arya. Arya is normally very skittish around strangers and Courtney was able to engage with her. She also followed all of my care instructions perfectly . 10/10 recommend Courtney.”
“Georgia was amazing! She came to our house before we went away to do a meet-and-greet and learn a little bit about our cat, which was really great. Georgia was communicative, kind, and took great care of our little guy. We would highly recommend Georgia!”

“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!

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats and dogs, including working as an Animal Care Attendant at a veterinary clinic and volunteering at animal shelters and dog daycares! At the veterinary clinic, I worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, administering medications as directed, and providing daily care and socialization for boarding animals. I also assisted veterinary staff with safe handling and restraint during appointments and procedures. Through these experiences, I've learned how important it is to understand each animal's body language, personality, and individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for energetic, playful dogs as well as shy or nervous pets who may need extra patience and reassurance. I'm genuinely passionate about animal welfare and hope to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. I'll always treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the week! I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, so I'll always do my best to follow their usual schedule and ensure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! Through my experience working at a veterinary clinic and volunteering at animal shelters, I've learned how to safely handle animals with different personalities, temperaments, and needs. I understand the importance of respecting each pet's boundaries and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I'll carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions, maintain a clean and safe environment, and provide regular photo updates so you can feel reassured knowing your pet is in good hands!

I will always treat your dog as my own with endless amounts of love and belly rubs! I currently work online trading stocks in the stock market. My schedule is very flexible and laid back as I work for around 3-4 hours a day and choose when those hours are. My full attention will be giving to any pet I take care of, and will work around my hours to ensure your pet gets the love and care they deserve. I have a fenced yard and no pets at home. I take 3-4 walks daily on my own, and I’m looking for a walking buddy to join me! I have a living room with a tv with multiple couches along with a bed in my bed room.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
We couldn’t be happier! Shelley took such amazing care of our kitten while we were away. She kept us updated and gave us so much peace of mind knowing our little girl was in such wonderful hands. We’re beyond grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets! ❤️
As always, we are so happy with the care our pets receive when we work with Anna and Aleksei. Most recently we had Anna doing drop in visits/feedings with our cat, Murphy. Anna was very punctual and communicative, sending photos and updates. I could not recommend these two more! 🥰
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!
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 Pet Sitting in Kingston is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 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 213 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
