“I cannot recommend Marc enough! Leaving our pets is always stressful, but Marc took such incredible care of them that it felt like they were on vacation too. They were attentive to our pets’ specific routines and sent the best daily photo updates, which allowed me to completely relax on our trip. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Khahae was great with my little furry ones, I could tell they were well cared for and happy in the pictures she sent and when I arrived home. It was so nice to know my pets had great care while I was away. She definitely went above and beyond and I would for sure use her again.”
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“Bry was so caring and loving to my pets my neighbors even noticed. She is very kind, Profesional and trustworthy. She was punctual and very communicative. I will definitely hire her again. I had s great experience using Rover for the first time. I felt very reassured and relaxed about the process”
“Heather took wonderful care of my dogs, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. My dogs were happy and well cared for, and my home was just as clean and well looked after when I returned. She is trustworthy, reliable, and very easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book her again.”
“Susan has been so wonderful. All of our animals love her including our cats who usually take a few days to warm up to new people were happy to greet her on day 1. I am so glad we found Susan she takes such great care of our pets, providing their daily meds and even carrying our blind pug outside for his potty breaks and the house is always well taken care of. We already have her booked again and will definitely keep booking her for as long as she keeps accepting.”
“Do NOT hesitate to book Billi to care for your fur babies. We have high needs dogs who require special food, medication, two walks a day and a lot of love. Billi exceeded our expectations, was a great communicator and most of all, took GREAT care of our 2 big dogs over our 10 day international trip. I would recommend him wholeheartedly for any of your dogsitting needs.”
“Adeline is the best and our pugs loved her, they can be a lil crazy at times but she handled them. She watched our house as well and made sure it was safe and sound while on vacation. 10/10 will definitely book again. She spent hours playing and showing our pugs love, honestly I don’t think they missed us haha. Definitely consider her to watch your doggos! Can’t say enough good things.”
“Lucinda was great, took wonderful care of our Gary for ten days while we were out of the country. Sent lots of pictures and left the house cleaner than we left. Thanks Lucinda - Gary misses you!”
“Alexis and Jacob were very communicative and easy to work with! They took good care of my pets and left the house neat and tidy. Would recommend and hire again!”
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“Julia is amazing. Consistent, and truly at one with my Larry guy. She’s easy going and thorough and thoughtful and even brought special treats for my babes for day one. Highly highly recommend!!”
“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”
“Alex took care of our house and our doodle for a straight month. It was obvious that he took great care of our pup and that our pup had bonded with him. He sent us daily pics and questions if there was any doubt about a situation or task. The house was left nice and tidy and he performed the inside plant and outside yard maintenance we requested. We would use him again in a heartbeat.”
“This was our first time working with June for taking care of our Rhodesian ridgeback and Ragdoll cat for a 10 day home stay. She is very friendly and has the natural, playful animal connection that is important to engage with them. She follow directions, gave updates and communicated well with my mom who was also helping to care for them while we were away. My mother told me the animals really like June, so that was comforting hear from her, and reassured me they were in good hands. We will definitely use her again.”
“Trula was amazing. One of my pups is very nervous around new people and spends most her time hiding from or running from new people. Trula was only watching my pets for 1 night but won over Ella who played and even cuddled up for the night with Trula. I’m so excited to have Trula come stay with my fur babies for a weekend in October and November!”
“This was my first time working with Shannon and Rover. Shannon cared for my cat while also housesitting. Communication was good. I felt she listened and followed instructions for care. I would definitely 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!!
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!
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.
I highly recommend Aria for house sitting and pet watching. She took care of our 2 cats including one who was in post-surgery recovery and needed medication, and Aria had no problem with watching him and giving medication. She also won over our more aloof cat. We had peace of mind being away with her there.
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.
Noah has been taking care of our three dogs, with varying unique personalities and needs. It gave us so much peace of mind when we are away from home knowing that they will be under great care. Noah is extremely attentive to their needs, taking them on walks, cuddling them while also keeping our home clean. I highly recommend for anyone needing a sitter!
Laura got us out of a bind with a different sitter who cancelled a meet and greet three times. In a bind, we reached out to Laura and she quickly confirmed that she was available. We were not able to do a meet and greet but felt great with the communication back and forth throughout the stay. She left the place clean and our dog had been well snuggled.
Bridget is the absolute best! She was very communicative, ensuring we got updates and pictures of our pups and cat while we were away, and we could tell they all felt very loved. It was the first time our cat wasn’t mad at us when we returned home — a true sign he felt taken care of. Bridget also helped manage a few home needs while we were away, brought new toys and treats to our pups, and left the house clean and well taken care of when we got back home. We highly recommend Bridget!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 4,658 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in King City. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
