“We have two very goofy dogs with completely different personalities, and our dog sitter did an amazing job adapting to each of them during the three days she watched them. She took the time to understand their quirks, followed every instruction we left, and paid close attention to the little details that were important to us. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and knows how to work with different personalities. On top of taking incredible care of our dogs, she left our home exactly as it was when we left, which we truly appreciated. Knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Elizabeth was a great dog sitter. She sent lots of updates and photos of the dogs . And we loved that . She arrived 15 minutes early to go over the needs of the dogs. We will definitely be inviting Elizabeth back to care for our dogs. The dogs were definitely sad to see her go.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience working and volunteering at a dog and cat kennel, where I cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. My experience includes caring for dogs ranging from Great Danes to Chihuahuas, as well as cats with different temperaments and care needs. I have experience administering diabetic shots and other veterinarian-prescribed medications, handling reactive or aggressive animals safely, and helping reinforce training and positive behaviors. Through years of hands-on experience, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and compassionate care are in making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Right now I work a part-time job, and my schedule changes from week to week, which actually makes me very flexible and able to adapt easily to different pet care needs. I’m able to plan ahead and make time for walks, drop-ins, and longer stays as needed, and I always prioritize being reliable and consistent once I commit to a booking. I enjoy working with animals, so fitting pet care into my routine feels natural rather than stressful. I’m also very communicative, so pet parents can always expect updates and reassurance while their pets are in my care. I have a large, comfortable home with a fully fenced-in yard, providing a safe space for dogs to play, exercise, and relax. I also have four very friendly dogs, which can offer great social interaction for pets who enjoy companionship. However, I understand that not every dog is social, so I can easily keep visiting pets separate if they prefer their own space or need a calmer environment. Every pet in my care is treated with the same love, attention, and respect as my own, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I strive to create a calm, welcoming environment where each dog feels secure, cared for, and at home while you’re away.
“I was a little weary of using Rover again as we've had some negative experiences in the past, but Sara is probably the best doggy sitter anyone could ever hope for! She is incredibly professional, communicative and AMAZING with animals. Our dogs warmed right up to her during our meet and greet and felt comfortable with her during Sara's entire stay. Sara spent just about 24/7 with our dogs and updated us often with pictures of playtime, nap time, and everything else our doggos were up to. Sara was also a very respectful house guest. We came home to our house cleaner than how it was left. It's always difficult leaving our babies, but they were in amazing hands. We would absolutely love to have Sara dog sit for us again and would highly, HIGHLY recommend her!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kingsford on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Kingsford 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 Kingsford 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 Kingsford 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
