“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!”
“Lori was absolutely lovely! My cat adored her and the messages and photos she sent were so comforting! She clearly adores animals and is great at making them feel safe and happy even while their owners are away — thank you Lori!”
“Melina is always so great with my cat Thanos. She provides the best pictures and they obviously have a good relationship. I have booked her several times now and will book her again. She is fantastic and treats my cat well. Her pictures and story of my cat are a highlight of my day on my trips.”
“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 :)”
“Treena did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away over Christmas. She went above and beyond braving an ice storm and snow. She gave great feedback and answered my texts promptly. I would highly recommend her.”
“Myriam was absolutely wonderful with our elderly dachshund. She was conscientious, prompt and kind. I received updates and photos. Our sweet pup was happy and clam when we returned, a sign she had a great day. I am looking forward to having Myriam back to care for our sweet pup in the future!”
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:)
“Britney was a fantastic sitter for my two cats. I’m a bit of a worry wart when it comes to leaving my cats, and she was so patient with me and understanding. And of course, she was amazing with my cats!!”
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: 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: 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.
About: I grew up always in the country and always had family cats and dogs, and was involved in pet care and training from a young age. I adopted my cat three years ago and enjoy pet sitting both cats and dogs! I have experience with walking and caring for reactive dogs as well. I am a master’s student and Queen’s and I work part time hours. I have availability everyday depending on time frame for walks and drop-ins! For house sitting, I am available for overnight stays if required. Gentle but firm approach, always on leash unless in a known, enclosed area. Exercise and enrichment are a priority for me, as well as outdoor time for dogs.
“Alyce took great care of my two cats while we were away for a few days, and developed skills related to drawing up and administering insulin to our diabetic cat. She was enthusiastic, willing to learn, reliable and friendly and we could not be more pleased with her service! She was also very prompt with her responses and we would be happy to have her care for them again :)”
“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!!”

I work remotely, and am able to fit in your pets needs during the week, and then as well on weekends.

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!
Myriam was absolutely wonderful with our elderly dachshund. She was conscientious, prompt and kind. I received updates and photos. Our sweet pup was happy and clam when we returned, a sign she had a great day. I am looking forward to having Myriam back to care for our sweet pup in the future!
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 July 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 216 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Kingston. About 86% 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.
