“I cannot say enough good things about this caring responsible sitter! Jessica not only kept our active 3 year old standard poodle,Gracie, well fed, safe and cared for, but she went beyond our expectations with hikes, great companionship and love so Gracie would't be lonely. Jessica stayed in our home for three weeks and she kept the yard sanitary, had the house all ready for our return and even left us ready for breakfast and brownies! We trusted her with our home and our sweet dog and I will call her again when we travel for sure. She is a lovely person who shows it in her care and concern for our dog.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life: dogs, cats, lizards, fish, etc. Sadly, I found out as an adult that I am allergic to cats. It just means I get to love on dogs even more! I am a suburban single gal who works full time and is looking for a joyful way to spend my off hours! I’m hoping taking care of your loved one(s) brings us both the comfort and peace it can! I am more than happy to care for your animals in their own home to make sure it is an easy process for all. I can provide feedings and walks/exercise and of course, a lot of love! Happy to stay at your house overnight as well.
“As always Sue was amazing with all of my animals and I do believe my house may have been cleaner than when I left. She sends so many great photos and I feel like our animals are in great hands and I never have to worry about them. Makes me feel just a little less guilty when we plan trips to locations that are not pet friendly. I love knowing that they are at home where they are more comfortable and that Sue is there keeping them happy with lots of lap time snuggles.”
“Julia is awesome and truly a miracle worker. My sweet kitty is 7 years old and is petrified of anyone but me. With me she is so lovable. I live in a condo and no one in the complex believes I have a cat. She was adopted 9 months ago so I am not sure of her background. I was gone a week and Julia had her out and about within 36 hours. I got regular updates and pictures during the week. Julia is awesome!!”
“John is a great sitter for our four dogs. He is attentive to their needs and playful. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that our dogs are well taken care of while away. He also helped us watered our house plants and tomatoes during the recent heatwaves. In fact, we are requesting his assistance again for our long travel next week. We highly recommend John to any pawrents needing caregiver!”
“Our first time with Rover was with Sara. She was so wonderful with our dog and 2 cats. She really set us at ease being able to stay at our house and watch our pets for us while we were on vacation. Her communication was spot on and she did everything we asked. We're especially pleased with how she cared for our animals. We're so grateful! Thank you Sara!”
“I had a great experience with Malissa. The thing that I appreciated the most is her communication. I always knew everything about my doggo and how he is doing and I got pictures every night. She even contacted me with weather warnings during the big storm Portland had during my travels and was willing to stick around if my flight got canceled. Will recommend and rebook for sure.”
“Heather is an amazing sitter! She spent quality time at the greet and meet, patiently and attentively learned about Loki and Mala and our care routines. She brought peace and confidence in our mind while we were away. Heather was very engaged and hands-on with our pups, walking them diligently rain or shine, playing with them, and petting them with affection. Our little one Mala was shy and timid at the beginning due to past trauma but quickly warmed up to Heather as she is so kind and friendly. Heather has great communication skills as she sent reminders for our appointments and she provided many updates with the photos/videos of the pups which we greatly appreciated. She left the house spotless too. We are very happy that we have discovered Heather on Rover and we will absolutely have her care for our pups again!”
About: As a pet parent myself, I know exactly what it feels like to walk out the front door and feel that instant wave of worry; leaving your furry family members requires an immense amount of trust, and my top priority is making sure you feel completely secure, updated, and at ease while you’re away. I bring extensive, hands-on experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and cats of all personalities—whether that means managing a young puppy's strict potty-training schedule, giving a senior dog a gentle afternoon stroll, or respecting a cautious cat’s boundaries. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, and I am committed to following your exact routine while providing detailed updates and plenty of photo check-ins so you never have to guess how they are doing.🦮💜🐾 Pet care is my top priority, and I structure my daily and weekly life entirely around my work. Because I plan my personal schedule to fit the needs of my clients, I have an incredibly open, flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, or evening care, I am fully available to ensure they get consistent attention and love exactly when they need it. When caring for pets, safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I live in a pet-friendly home with my own dogs, so I am deeply familiar with managing multiple animal dynamics and maintaining a secure, supervised environment—including the ability to keep my dogs completely separated from yours whenever needed. Whether hosting pets in my home or providing drop-in care and walks at yours, I strictly follow all specific care instructions, double-check that doors and gates are fully secure, and always keep dogs securely leashed during outings. My goal is to maintain your pet's exact routine so they feel completely safe, relaxed, and loved.
“Sparkle, as always, tended to my kitties with care and left my apartment looking spotless. The kitty-os were happy to have her and i always feel safe knowing they are in her care. Thank you!”
“Zach was great! He took care of our dog for five days in our home, paying special attention to Bentley’s unique needs. He sent updates, asked good questions, and left the house even cleaner than it was when he arrived. We’d definitely book with him again”
“June was very responsive, respectful, and so good with my sweet boy Phoenix. The videos and photos she sent showed he was clearly doing well with her in my absence ♥️”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Archie. While I was enjoying my day with family I had little stress worrying about my pooch since Sara & Braden were taking care of him”
“Lucinda took good care of our adored dog. She stayed at our house for 2 weeks and left our place spotless and with Cherif in very good form. We would rebook her!”
“Gwyneth was outstanding with my 15 year old kitty. She took on the challenge of staying with my kitty for 3 weeks and delivered like a champion. I HIGHLY recommend booking Gwyneth, she is AMAZING!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in King City is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - King City
Alex, was fantastic and we've already hired him again to watch our pets and home while we're away. Our family had very important event out of town this past weekend and Alex was perfect in giving us peace of mind that everything at home was taken care of. He was self-sufficient and just gave us periodic updates with photos of the pets so we could just focus on our event. Thank you, Alex, we'll see you in a couple of weeks!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Anastasiya! She stayed in our home to watch Oliver and Bailey, and it was our first time leaving our dogs with someone so we were of course nervous. Anastasiya was so sweet and kind!! She sent so many photos, cuddled, played, and went on lots of walks. I wasn’t sure where our dogs would choose to sleep, but they ended up snuggling up in her bed! I appreciate how communicative and accommodating she is to any little extra requests. We came home to two happy pups and a very clean house 😊 we will 100% always choose Anastasiya in the future. So so thankful to have found her.
Lily did an AMAZING job taking care of our two huskies and one golden retriever. One of our huskies is older and required medication and a doggie diaper and Lily did an amazing job taking care of them. We came home to our house cleaner than when we left. We got great updates and pictures and she was very responsive whenever we checked in. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be having her watch our dogs again!
John is incredible. He stayed at our home for 11 days, took good care our four dogs that have varying needs, watered our garden and house plants, and even helped us setting up bedrooms (washing linens and making the beds) for our friends visiting out of town. We recommend John for anyone in need of trusted care giver (and a friend)!
Cara was amazing! She's trustworthy, super responsive, and great in a crisis! Our two dogs got sprayed by a skunk in the middle of the night on her last night sitting and she went above and beyond to help. She bathed the dogs, scrubbed the house to minimize the scent, washed blankets & towels, she even went out and bought a professional skunk deodorizer. When our flight was delayed, she came back before bedtime to check on our girls, let them out again, and made sure they had everything they needed until we made in home late. If I could give Cara more than 5 stars, I definitely would! I will for sure be booking with Cara again!
This was my very first time using Rover for my own pets, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 💜 I was definitely a bit of a helicopter pet mom before our cruise, but she was so patient and understanding. She even came by for weekly walks with Kash beforehand so they could get to know each other, and didn’t mind learning my very specific way of making his food. 😂 She took amazing care of Kash, Totoro, KitKat, and Kali, sent great updates, and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets meant everything. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Chelsee is amazing! Her love for animals is clear from the moment you meet her. We have a dog that is anxious when she meets people, and Chelsee was patient and calm and put her at ease. She earned her trust quickly. She took great care of our dog and we look forward to having her spend more time with her again. Thank you so much Chelsee!!
Everything went very well with Marc taking care of my Corgi Mix for 5 days while I was gone on vacation. He gave my Corgi a lot of attention and even walked her to the dog park by my place. My Corgi was happy and really love Marc. I highly recommend Marc for you and your pet.
Zoe did a wonderful job pet sitting for my 2 little pups. She did everything I asked her even though feeding my senior pup was complicated. Both dogs were happy & healthy when I got home and the house was clean too! She was good with them, they enjoyed her calm and gentle attention. She also sent frequent updates and pictures too. I would recommend Zoe for any dog care needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - King City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in King City on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,621 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across King City. 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 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 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.

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.
