“Alex is incredible! My dog Bear is usually aggressive with new people, but he warmed up to Alex immediately, which speaks volumes about his calm and trustworthy energy. He followed all instructions perfectly and kept us updated the whole time. Coming home to a vacuumed house and fresh sheets on the bed was such a thoughtful, unexpected touch. We will 100% be booking Alex again and can’t recommend him enough!”
“Amelia showed so much love and care to our 6 pets! Yes, 6; she expertly presided over our 4 older dogs and 2 young cats. They can be a lot, but Amelia is a true professional. We sooo appreciated the communication, and clear concern for the Mitchell kids. I mean seriously - tucking my Pointer into bed and covering him up?? My cranky gray cat who doesn't like anyone was loving on Amelia. As a couple that always feels so scary to leave our babies even for a night. The husky is a criminal mastermind and again, Amelia handled her with grace and expert care. Will 100% book Amelia for our next trip!!!!”
“Highly recommended! Trevor was very communicative and flexible with an in-house sitting despite living a considerable distance away from us. Our home and dogs were well cared for and we received frequent updates and photos of the dogs.”
“Andi is a fantastic dog sitter! I always come home to happy and healthy animals. She handles my anxious and timid puppy with no issues and always sends me cute action shots of my dog at the park.”
“Kylie is great! Major loves her. She does a lot of extras as well as watching Major, picking up our mail, putting out trash cans, cooking Major’s food, we leave for at least a week at a time, and our home always looks great when we get home. Kylie is very reliable. I give her five stars!”
“Brayden and Sara were fantastic to work with. They house sat for us for about a week while we were out of town, caring for our three dogs. We’ll be the first to admit our pups aren’t the easiest crew, but Brayden and Sara went out of their way beforehand to learn their routines, quirks, and needs so everything would run smoothly. When a few small issues came up during the stay — which we’d anticipated, knowing our dogs, they let us know right away and handled everything calmly and competently. We never once felt like we had to manage things from afar, and it was a relief to come home to three happy, well cared for dogs and a house left in great shape. We’d absolutely book them again and highly recommend them to anyone with a full house of pets.”
“Oh boy what a great experience ! Craig was amazing for us. A very good communicator, super personable, and a natural with the dogs. Echo and Shadow can be troublesome, but they took to Craig right from the start. Craig kept us informed , sent us pictures, and kept our house as clean as could be. I think it was cleaner when we got home than when we left. Thank you kind sir, we plan on using you for the foreseeable future !!!”
“Alex took great care of Myra and Clifford this past weekend! They kept us updated with regular check-ins, sent lots of photos, and followed all of our care instructions. I was especially nervous because Clifford can be reactive around other dogs, but Alex handled everything so well and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear our pups were in great hands, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Emma, Has a very calm demeanor and made me feel at ease. I’m very protective of my pup and after talking with her I felt safe for her to watch Finley. She’s very respectful and a sweet lady that seems to have a genuine passion for animals. I could tell Finley likes her. I told her she’s welcome to come by anytime to see Fin. I will have watch Fin in the future as long as she’s willing and available. Thank you Emma!!”
About: I was born an animal lover, and they have always been a huge part of my life. I have always had a dog and/or cat at every phase of life, and they are a big part of my family. Growing up I was highly involved in animal care through the 4-H program, and pet-sitting for my extended family. Additionally, I worked professionally as an animal caretaker at Oregon State University while completing my Bachelor's degree. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of Cat and Dog, and have lots of experience handling supplemental care such as diet restrictions, administering medications, grooming, and other needs that your pet may require. I am very dedicated to learning specifics about what your pets may need, and how I can make their experience as fun and comfortable as possible! I am currently working part-time, as I am a grad student completing my degree online. On work days, my shifts are never longer than 4 hours, so I am able to spend lots of time with your fur babies and provide walks and check-ins often thoroughout each day. High energy dogs are very welcome! I am very active and enjoy spending lots of time playing and on walks and/or runs, depending on your dogs specific needs. Taking care of your pet also includes caring for your home. I am diligent on keeping your pets bowls and toys clean, and maintaining a safe and clean environment for them. I understand that changes in the home can be stressful for pets, so I strive to keep their routine as normal as I can while their family is away! Meet and Greets are important to me for long-term and/or overnight stays to ensure that your pet gets the best care possible.
About: We honor the spaces of pets and allow them the time to become comfortable. We always assure they feel safe, and know we are a guest in their space or they are an honored guest in our family home. We love spending time with animals and have been fortunate to provide care to friends animals overnight and for daily care. My husband and I work full-time, on opposite schedules. We are available evenings during the week and weekends. During the week, we are more than happy to board pets as needed. I work from home, and he works only a few days a week. We have a fenced yard and we live in a dog lover neighborhood. We take our friends dogs on walks often, as needed. We have cared for family and friends dogs overnight and they all enjoyed their time at our home. We tend to spoil pets (based on parents discretion of course) while they are with us. Our home is their home, and we never want a pet to feel unsafe or unhappy while spending time with our family. Our family will care for them like our own.
“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.”
“Alicia provided amazing in home care for my 2 dogs. She is very professional, friendly and seems to genuinely love spending time engaging and caring for dogs. She proactively shared daily updates of their adventures and included some incredible photos.”
“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!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Chloe! Leaving our two pups for two weeks while we were in Europe was nerve-wracking, especially since our one dog has pancreatitis. But Chloe made the entire experience stress-free. Her communication was fantastic. She sent regular updates with pictures and videos, so we always knew our furry friends were happy and well cared for. Things got even better when Chloe calmly handled a flare-up of our pup's pancreatitis. She administered the medication with ease, keeping us informed throughout the process. When we finally got home, we were greeted by two ecstatic and healthy pups. It was clear they had been showered with love and attention in our absence. Chloe is a true dog lover and a fantastic pet sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone needing someone reliable, caring, and capable of handling unexpected situations with their pets!”

We’re so happy with our first house-sitting experience with Amelia! She was responsible, caring, and attentive, and we really appreciated the love and care she gave Pochi. She kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind and helped us relax and enjoy our trip knowing Pochi was in good hands. She also took wonderful care of our home. We’re so grateful to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with both Pochi and our house. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her!
We rebooked Heather to care for Buddy over 9 days. She did a wonderful job communicating with us throughout the day and night, sending pictures and multiple updates. We came home to a super clean home and a very happy dog. We will be happy to book Heather again next time we are heading out of town!
This was Aurora’s second time pup sitting for us and she was absolutely amazing!! Our poor baby Cole broke his toe right before we had to leave on a trip and Aurora was a life saver. She took the best care of him, making sure he didn’t take off his splint, wore his cone and she even played music to help him calm and ensuring he took his meds on time (he’s a smart boy and kept spitting them out, even refusing treats). She kept us updated the whole time and we were able to actually enjoy our vacation, instead of worrying about if our pups were okay. It was even harder to watch him this time without being able to let him play or run. We really appreciate all the care Aurora took and will be using her for all our vacations. It’s been hard to find people we trust to watch our babies but we finally have!
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!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in King City is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,664 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in King City. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
