“Tracey was so kind to help out with my stray kitty boy over the holidays!! She kept me updated with pictures and videos which really eased my mind. My boy seemed so content with her right away that I knew I had nothing to worry about. Tracey definitely has a connection with animals and seems to be an animal whisperer… I would highly recommend her!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three dogs received! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear she treated them not just as clients, but as her own — they were loved, comfortable, and happy the entire time. We will absolutely be booking again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond!”
About: I have grown up taking care of many different breeds and ages over the past 19 years from puppies to seniors up to 16. I'm experienced with house training, obedience training, and medication administration (including insulin shots for diabetic dogs). I've had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends, family and neighbors, which has included potty breaks, baths, walks, feeding, and some grooming. All pets I look after always receive lots of attention and lots of lovins, as I treat other's pets I am looking after like they're my own. :) I am in between jobs at the moment, so I have a lot of free time on my hands that I would love to spend taking care of fur babies! -If boarded at my home, I live in a townhouse that is pet friendly and includes surrounding yard areas. I share it with my adopted 6 year old fur baby, Ellie, that is a red lab mix. She is caught up on all vaccines, spayed and sees the vet regularly. Ellie is an absolute sweetheart to all dogs and people she is around. If you or your pet prefer to not be around another animal, I can always crate my pet or keep her in a separate room if needed.😊 -If pet sitting at owner's home, I would be very respectful and follow any and all directions the best I can. If preferred, I can send updates with pictures of your fur baby/babies and how they're doing as much as you'd like.
About: Hi, I’m Brad — a lifelong animal lover with decades of dog ownership and experience caring for dogs, but I love pets of all kinds (well, except spiders and snakes...). As a dependable professional in my 50s, I bring calm, trustworthy, and attentive care (and lots of snuggles, if they are up for it) to every animal I work with. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, and I’m committed to clear communication, reliability, and respecting your home and routines. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, or steady companionship, I’m here to help. I’d love to care for your four-legged family member! I am a realtor with a very flexible schedule, and I would like to invest some of my non-realtor time to caring for your four-legged friends! All I require is dependable wifi, and I can conduct almost all of my "office" work remotely. I will show up for drop-ins and house sitting fully prepared to care for your pets, and provide the care they need. Feeding, walking, playing, and "scooping", as needed, are all part of my repertoire.
“Bella was absolutely fantastic! She had great communication throughout the entire week, took great care of my home, leaving it spotless when I got home, and took great care of my dog! I can’t recommend her enough and would definitely hire her again!”
“I was worried about leaving our dog Finn for the week since we normally don’t leave him however, Jen and Jon took such amazing care of him and were in constant communication that I had no worries while I was away. They also left the house in perfect condition. I can’t recommend them enough.”

About: I am a 63 year old cancer survivor who is now disabled! I would love to babysit your pets for you in your home! Anytime! I have 2 dogs & 5 cats I now pet sit for. I am a true animal lover. I have 3 cats at home whom I love very much! This would be the perfect job for me. Although, I don't think of petsitting as a job. I would love to play with or walk your dogs for you. I would treat your pets with as much love as you do! Have been pet sitting for 4 years. I like to play with the dogs, take them for walks. Size or breed doesn't matter. All dogs are welcome! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for 25 years. I have had several (4) dogs in my life. The first was a german shepherd hybrid with wolf. She was beautiful! My husband had a little terrier mix who stayed in the house. We also had a black lab & a mutt named July. If I could have a dog now, I would; but I don't have a fenced-in yard. I really don't want to leave a dog on a chain all the time. My experience administering medication I can administer oral meds. I’m currently not working so im available week days & weekends. I’m very flexible & don’t need a lot of time before job. I really love animals! I can’t board animals. I don’t have the space. In other peoples homes I can play with their pets & enjoy taking them for a walk.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingmont
Hannah did absolutely amazing with my 3 high energy dogs I have a 2 golden retriever, 1 Australian Shepherd and a 5 month old labradoodle. Not only did she do amazing, she had a 6 hour notice of when I needed her initially. So I definitely recommend Hannah and I will continue to utilize Hannah when I need a dog sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Kingmont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 125 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kingmont. 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 Kingmont 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 Kingmont 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 Kingmont 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.
