“Ashley was amazing! She notified us and sent a picture of our pups soon after she arrived. She kept us updated by emails and photos throughout her stay. Because our return was tentative because of driving back from a wedding, she stopped by in the afternoon to let the pups out prior to our return. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Billie is definitely one of my favorite rover sitters to date! She was highly responsive during the booking/meet and greet process and very communicative throughout the duration of the stay. We received multiple updates a day with multiple photos which definitely put us at ease since one of our dogs can sometimes shut down a little while we are away. Billie did great with both of our dogs and even the one who typically hides while we are gone was a big fan - he was out and social most of the stay. Billie also left our house immaculate. Cannot give her enough praise, will definitely look to book more of our sittings with Billie in the future.”
“Brianna did a great job house sitting and taking care of our Luna. She comforted her during some storms and have her lots of love. She also cleaned the house, washed the bedding and took out the trash. Would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Absolutely amazing, such a sweetheart and very communicative, took amazing care of my baby boys and did it last minute for me which I appreciate so much. She is so amazing and genuinely cares for the pups. House was clean, pups were happy, and they were fed 🤍🤍”
“Candice did a fantastic job sitting Jaeger and Freddie! She sent updates frequently and put our minds at ease knowing our critters were in good hands while away on a weekend trip. I will definitely be having Candice watch them again and would recommend her to anyone who needs an excellent pet sitter!”
About: **MAY 2026 UPDATE - TO ENSURE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CARE FOR MY VALUED CLIENTS AND ANIMAL COMPANIONS I AM ACCEPTING HOUSESITTING REQUESTS ONLY (<10 MILE RADIUS) UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO LIMITED AVAILABILITY. WISHING A SAFE AND PLEASANT SUMMER TO ALL! THANK YOU.** Hi all! I am glad you have landed here. I have provided pet services (day stays, outings and overnights) for family, friends and colleagues since 2014. I have primarily cared for canines as well as a very small sprinkle of cats. On a personal note, I have independently raised a rescue pittie from puppyhood through 14 years (as shown in profile image). I find great pleasure and purpose in animal care/welfare work. I have engaged with dogs of various demographics, sensibilities and physical needs. Outside of my full-time career, I participate as a volunteer with a local shelter. This encompasses dog walking, dog handling, day trips and overnight care with ongoing training opportunities. I look forward to prospectively partnering together to fulfill the care requirements of your beloved animal companions. Thank you for considering. My schedule varies and can be flexible. Please contact me to discuss how I may assist with the animal care needs of your household pets. My offerings are performed at the client’s residence. We will discuss individual needs and determine a protocol that best serves your animal companion(s). An initial meet and greet is required. I maintain pet sitter insurance designed solely for pet caretakers. * Please be advised that a trip fee will be added for services outside of my service region and/or for multiple same day trips to/from the client’s residence. * Additional rates apply for more than one pet.
“This was our first experience with Rover and we will definitely be using the service again. Danielle took great care of our two dogs. We would recommend her and plan to use her again if we should need the service in the future.”
“Patience did a good job with Maggie and Burke. She is on-time, provides pictures and asks appropriate questions. Would never know she was in your home. Would recommend.”
“Brooke was wonderful with our dog, Sage. She took great care of him and of our home, and was very communicative so we knew everything was going well the whole time we were away.”
About: 15 years of professional fear free pet care experience from working in veterinary practices to owning my own business. Including medication administration, puppy, senior care and everything in between. I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to cater to your pets current routine or desired schedule. Plenty of activity or extra cuddles included. Available weekdays, weekends and holidays! Experienced in fear free pet care. Your pets safety and comfort is my top priority. I am experienced and comfortable with all breeds and sizes!
“Amanda was excellent with our pretty large crew of 5 animals. She provides frequent updates with photos and videos and was able to accommodate our multiple cats and their different feeding needs. She worked with her husband to make sure our dog was taken out regularly when she had to work long shifts. Would love to have her pet sit for us again!”
“Caylin did a great job for us and Millie! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter! We enjoyed the pictures and comments she sent us while we were away. She’s the best!”
About: I have 5 years of experience with pet sitting. I grew up around dogs and cats and love them both equally. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats, due to this I can handle different animals and different situations as well! I am currently working part-time, but I currently have open availability due to it being the summer months and not having college classes at the moment. When I am taking care of pets I make sure they have enough of food and water before leaving the house, and if they need to be in a certain room of the house or in a crate I make sure they are secured in that area of the home.
“It's always tough to leave our doggy home and even harder to find someone you are comfortable having in your home you can trust. Adam was patient and followed our very detailed instructions for our little guy. We know because we came back to a happy pup. We also appreciate his daily updates and photos. We look forward to using Adam again.”
“Really appreciated Kayla taking care of our Greg. It was certainly comforting to have videos and photos taken of our doggo, it made it a whole look easier to leave him in Kayla’s care. Would certainly recommend her. She was able to recreate his routine without any trouble!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kinderhook is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kinderhook
Tricia is, hands down, the best pet sitter we have ever had! From start to finish, she went so far above and beyond her basic duties to make sure our home and our dog were completely cared for. Our boy can be extremely picky and hesitant with new people, but Tricia bonded with him almost instantly. He is also a big boy which can intimidate some people. She knew exactly how to make him feel comfortable, safe, and loved while we were away. She played and brushed him daily and have him lots of cuddles! Her communication was incredible. She updated us multiple times every single day and sent plenty of photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind the entire time we were gone and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. It was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed he was with her! On top of being an absolute natural with dogs, Tricia took exceptional care of our house and garden, tackling extra tasks and leaving everything in pristine condition for our return. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring—especially if you have a selective or picky dog—look no further than Tricia. We will absolutely be booking her again!
Marie is the best! She watched my two German Shepherds and I couldn’t be happier. She was communicative throughout the entire stay, sending updates that gave me total peace of mind. My dogs are large and energetic, but she handled them like a pro. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups — the biggest compliment a pet sitter can get! I will absolutely be booking Marie again. Highly recommend!
We had a fantastic experience with Mary! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we loved receiving regular updates and photos. Our dogs were clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our pups were in great hands. We will absolutely book again and highly recommend Mary to anyone on Rover looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.
Denise did an amazing job watching our pups on short notice. She took great care of them and they were sad to see her leave. She also took great care of our home and left it even better than she found it! We would definitely recommend her and would use her again.
I can’t thank and recommend Kathy and her husband enough! We are new to the area and to the rover experience, so it’s always a relief knowing you have someone you can trust with your fur babies. This was our first long trip with rover, while being away from our girls. We received daily updates and pictures, which was such a relief. If you need someone to housesit your pets I highly Kathy and her husband. We had no issues, our dogs were in such good hands, and we will most definitely be using them again!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,055 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kinderhook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Kinderhook walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kinderhook 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.
Tip: 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!
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 Kinderhook 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!
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kinderhook. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
