“Bri took care of our 4 pets with ease and care. She was super communicative throughout the stay and was an absolute dream to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Freya did a good job of keeping my dogs comfortable while I was gone. They clearly liked her, got lots of play, and were happy and relaxed when I got home after a late flight. Definitely will re-book next time.”
“Billi outdid himself. I was really nervous to leave my pet for the first time and Billi was really supportive and cared for my pet as I would have myself! I highly recommend Billi and will definitely call him again!”
“Adeline was great with our dog Rex and was very respectful of our home! She left everything super clean and Rex enjoyed his time with her. She was thorough with his care instructions too. We will definitely use Adeline as a dog sitter again!”
“We left our dog and cat in Haleys's care for six days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dog is very anxious around new people, but he warmed up to her quickly—which is a huge deal for him! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were both happy and comfortable at home. Haley is absolutely wonderful, professional, and clearly has a gift with animals. I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Taylor is a very communicative, enthusiastic, and attentive cat and house sitter. She provided lots of photos and updates throughout her stay, and we came back to a tidy home and happy cat. We will be booking with Taylor again if we can!”
About: While I don't currently have a dog of my own, I grew up with a golden retriever, Charlotte, and know what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and well cared for — including the never-ending battle with fur (I've vacuumed my fair share!). That experience taught me just how important regular grooming is, and I'm happy to help keep your pup brushed and looking their best. I can administer medication, whether it's a pill, liquid, or topical treatment, so your dog's health needs are always taken care of. Daily walks and playtime are my favorite part of dog care — I need the exercise just as much as your dog does! Whether it's a leisurely stroll, a brisk walk, or an energetic round of fetch, I'm happy to match your dog's energy and keep them active and engaged. I can't wait for the chance to give your fur baby the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life because my schedule is extremely flexible. I'm available both weekdays and weekends, so you won't have to worry about finding coverage no matter when you need it. I can also accommodate same-day requests, so if something comes up unexpectedly, I'm ready to step in. Whether you need a quick daily visit, ongoing walks throughout the week, or an overnight stay while you're traveling, I have the time and availability to make it work. Your pet's routine and comfort are my priority, and my flexible schedule means I can adapt to whatever they need. I love caring for pets in the place they feel most comfortable — their own home. I know that pets thrive on routine and familiarity, so rather than disrupting their environment, I come to them, keeping their space, schedule, and surroundings as consistent as possible. I'm dependable, so you can count on me to show up exactly when I say I will, every time. I'm also detail oriented, which means I pay close attention to your instructions, your pet's habits, and anything specific that helps them feel safe. Above all, I'm respectful of both your pet and your home. I treat your space with the same care and consideration I'd want for my own, and I make sure your pet gets the attention, comfort, and companionship they need while you're away.
“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.”
“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”
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!)
“Julia was so patient and caring with our somewhat anxious dog! Julia took the time for a few house visits before we left so the dogs would be familiar- it worked out great! I would definitely recommend Julia- a very kind and responsible dog sitter :)”
“Alexis was fantastic! She sent so many photos throughout our trip and took great care of our home and our babies. Photos of our pups were always happy and joyful and it was a great relief to be able to spend time away knowing they’re well taken care of and happy! I will definitely have to be on Alexis’ regulars list for pet-sitting and house-sitting.”
“Jordan is literally amazing! She did so well with our fur babies! They loved her. Came home to a spotless house happy dogs and I couldn’t have been more pleased! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Kyle is great. He followed through on our scheduling coordination. He sent lots of pictures while he was with our animals. Very kind and considerate. I’ll be using him again and soon too!!”
“Tabitha was kind, caring, and loving of our pets! She was very attentive to their personalities and sent us lots of photos, which we always appreciate when away from home. Would 100% recommend Tabitha to anyone!”
“Sue did an amazing job with our 3 dogs and 2 cats. Even our skittish cat spent the whole weekend snuggled with her. Will definitely use again.”
“Heather was an attentive sitter who didn’t hesitate to take on my little blind girl who is pretty needy. She sent pictures throughout the day which was very reassuring. She will be my sitter of choice in the future. Thank you, Heather!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in King City is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - King City
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.
I’ve had Kaley do many drop in and dog walk visits but this was my first time using a Rover for house/dog sitting. Kaley was an excellent choice for watching my Marlee girl when we went on a vacation. Always quick to reply, kind, and friendly. She took great care of Marlee and left my house in great shape. Would highly recommend Kaley for dog walks/drop in visits and longer dog/house sitting needs.
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.
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!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
