“Tabitha was absolutely amazing! She was open to meeting before watching my two boys. They loved her right away. I appreciate her communication style and her attention to detail. She went above and beyond. Came home to clean house and she did the laundry even. She’s wonderful and I most definitely hope she’s available when I go out of town again! Thank you for making my trip that much better because I knew my boys were in good hands!”
About: I am an animal person who has been a pet parent to many cats, large dogs, and small birds. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and activity and socialization needs. From sassy corgis to excitable labradoodle puppies, I'm sure your fur baby and I will get along wonderfully. I also have experience caring for senior pets with specialized medication and dietary needs, and maintaining consistent, disciplined training regimens for puppies learning the ropes, including clicker and nonverbal command training. While I have only owned small birds myself, I am comfortable around larger birds and am confident preparing chop, monitoring fly time, supporting preening, and maintaining training sessions. I also have experience administering oral medication to small birds. The company I previously worked for recently downsized, so while I am on the job search I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate you and your furry (or feathered) friend's needs! The safety and well-being of your pet is my top priority. This means that in addition to providing photos and updates of your pet while you are away, I will be proactive in contacting you if anything concerning arises. If you have cats, this means I won't let them outside unless it is a secured space. I also require the information for both your primary and preferred emergency vet for all pets. (I have never needed to contact someone's vet while pet-sitting, but I prefer to always be prepared!)
“Taylor did such an amazing job taking care of my puppies, kitty, and home. She sent updates throughout my time away and even checked in about a small concern she had just to be certain everything was ok. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that. I came home to happy puppies and a clean house. I will absolutely be booking Taylor again.”
“Heather was the most wonderful sitter! Our dogs were very well cared for and they didn’t seem to miss us much at all lol. Heather was very communicative and loving to our dogs. I already have her booked again! We’re so grateful for her care.”
“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”
“Anastasya was fantastic! Most important, my two rescues clearly loved her (she sent me photos from bedtime -- in the bed!) Also important -- she cared for my house as well as my dogs (brought in the papers, washed the sheets (!!!!!), left no trace of dishes or cooking). I will DEFINITELY be using Anastasya again, and highly highly recommend her for your pet care booking.”
“Alexis did an excellent job house sitting for our Golden Retriever! Sent lots of pictures of our pup during our trip, excellent communicator and really cares for animals. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have extensive experience working with a variety of dietary and medical needs of cats and dogs. While serving past clients I have worked with senior dogs and cats needing special food prep, and arthritis mobility assistance. With past clients I have administered oral and injected medications while following proper safety standards. My schedule is very flexible, and can fit a variety of care needs. Feel free to message me, and we can work something out. When I'm not taking my own pet out for adventures, I'd love to care for your fur babies! I am detail oriented, and have experience working with escape-prone pets, and keeping them safe. I love working with pets in clean environments, and believe that your pets deserve only the best care.
“veronica was amazing for my pup kane! she understood his separation anxiety and was extremely thoughtful when she watched him. she also was flexible when my work schedule was adjusted last minute, which i really appreciated! overall veronica was a wonderful sitter and my pup seemed to be very comfortable with her, and i would absolutely reach out again to have her watch kane!”
About: I grew up in a house with everything from pit bulls to toy fox terriers, cats and horses! I love getting to see each pet’s individual personality and gain their trust as we get to know each other❤️ Along with my own pets, I have also been trusted to take care of numerous family and friends’ animals. I have recently moved to a new area so I’m looking for people that are closer to where I’m at now😊 I’m currently available anytime! I can walk your dog when you don’t have time, stay overnight if you’re out of town, or stop by to feed your pet. Whatever and whenever! I would like to learn your pets routine and continue any training you may be doing. I have experience training my own puppy primarily using positive reinforcement methods. I have also taken care of incontinent geriatric dogs with diapers. If I’m comfortable with your pet I can administer medication as well.
“Kelly is an excellent dog sitter. We left our dog in her hands feeling that he would be well cared for and he was! She also kept our home in good order and updated us often on how he was doing. Would definitely use her again!”
“This was our second time booking with Kelsea for a 10-day sit, and she did amazing again! She pulled all the stops taking care of our dog who had a minor illness, including making a sweet potato, carrot, and peanut mash for he and his sister. She sent plenty of photos of them cuddling with her, so there was no doubt that they were ok without us there! We came back to a perfect house, too. Thank you, Kelsea!!!”
About: I have over 10 years experience both professionally and privately with dogs and other animals. I see pets as part of the family and am dedicated to their nurturing care. I am quite physically fit and will run with your dog if you'd like. I also can take care of cats or small animals if needed. I have worked for dog hotels, pet stores and personally house/pet sat for people. I have volunteered at shelters and rescues and can administer medications if needed! I love spending time with animals and would never leave one in a bad situation! I can deal with any size of dog and am experienced at reading temperaments. I am extremely reliable and use honest as my policy for life. Your pet is in caring and experienced hands with me :)
“Christina was very great with our anxious pup. She was very attentive and was quick to get our dog very comfortable with her. She even used a few techniques to calm her down when needed.”
“When we came home, it was obvious Shia and Andrew were having a hard time saying Good-bye. Shia spent the first two days looking all over for Andrew. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Because of our ring doorbell, we saw how often Andrew took Shia for walks. She got a short morning walk and a long walk every day. She definitely had some new, fun adventures with Andrew. We came home to a clean house and Andrew was just finishing laundry so everything was ready for us to come home and relax. Believe him when he says he "leaves things better than he found them." We had Andrew scheduled for another house/pet-sitting before he was even out the door.”
“Cindy did an amazing job with our boys while we were gone. Followed care instructions and made sure our boys had their medications daily. She provided us with some updates during our trip which was nice and reassuring as we get nervous leaving our senior dogs.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in King City is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - King City
We were travelling and arrived home very late. But two happy calm cats that had stayed with Kaley for six days were waiting for us and glad to see us. They were certainly not seeming to be stressed in any way and clearly had a good time and good care while we were away. Kaley left the house neat and tidy.
We had a great experience with Liz and can easily give her 5 stars! She took great care of all 4 of our pets and our home, and kept us updated with daily pictures and clear communication. We came back to happy pets and a well-cared-for house, and we'd gladly book with her again.
Marc is an incredible pet sitter! He recently watched our two cats, Mufasa and Simba, and our dog, Bergie, and we could not be happier with the care he provided. Taking care of three pets with different personalities and needs is no small task, but Marc handled it flawlessly. He was attentive to the cats' routines and made sure Bergie got plenty of exercise, love, and attention. Throughout our time away, Marc kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. He is reliable, professional, and genuinely cares about the well-being of animals. We came home to very happy, relaxed pets. We highly recommend Marc to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and we will definitely be booking him again!
Heather was very professional, communicative and loving to our 3 dogs. We have a German shepherd and two pugs that have different energy levels and needs and she seemed to adapt well to all of them. Our only worry is that we won’t meet their expectations when we return as they seemed to get a ton of love and attention from Heather. Would definitely book with her again!
Aurora was quick to respond to our last minute dog sitting request. We are typically very hesitant to have someone we don’t know watch the dogs because we’ve had some poor experiences but Aurora was great! She gave regular updates and pictures of the dogs and played with them nonstop! They loved her and we are very thankful for her taking the best care of our babies.
Taylor did such an amazing job taking care of my puppies, kitty, and home. She sent updates throughout my time away and even checked in about a small concern she had just to be certain everything was ok. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that. I came home to happy puppies and a clean house. I will absolutely be booking Taylor again.
Alexis and Jacob did a wonderful job housesitting and caring for my three high energy dogs over the weekend. They were mindful about the instructions I left, checked in with pictures daily, and were unfazed by my pups’ antics. I was also happy to come home to a clean yard and house, along with three happy and well-cared for dogs. Would book with them again without hesitation- thanks Alexis and Jacob!
Kylie is an incredible house and dog sitter. We were nervous leaving our anxious and skittish Australian Shepherd mix for 5 days and Kylie made us feel at ease, sent photos, and left our house spotless. She works so well with rescue dogs- they feed off of her calm and confident demeanor. We had a couple of drop-in visits before the big trip and each one we could tell that our pup was going to do amazing with Kylie. It was so nice to not have to worry about a thing while we were away. She’s the best!
Katie was absolutely amazing. So easy to work with. She came and met the dogs and I before our house sitting adventure started. She shared pictures and checked in regularly. I felt like my boys and house were in such great hands! She did an amazing job! Thank you Katie!!
Anastasya was fantastic! Most important, my two rescues clearly loved her (she sent me photos from bedtime -- in the bed!) Also important -- she cared for my house as well as my dogs (brought in the papers, washed the sheets (!!!!!), left no trace of dishes or cooking). I will DEFINITELY be using Anastasya again, and highly highly recommend her for your pet care booking.

The average cost of House Sitting in King City is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 King City 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 King City 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 King City 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
