“Jessica was exceptional! Even with it being a last minute booking, Jessica did all the things a professional would do. She set up a meet and greet, made the right questions and made quickly managed my puppy’s energy. Jessica was super prompt, respectful of our home and kind with our baby. I couldn’t be happier and I can’t wait to book her again! THANK YOU JESSICA!!”
“Jean was wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, and incredibly sweet to our pups. We would highly recommend her and look forward to booking her again for future trips.”
“Natalia was awesome with our Bernadoodle and German Shepherd! She always kept us updated with photos while taking care of the dogs' needs with plenty of exercise. Would recommend her as she is focused on the quality of care of your dogs.”
“Katie was such a great and reliable sitter. She was very communicative, respectful and took great care of our two dogs. She sent lots of photos while we were away and left the house spotless when we returned. We'll most definitely hire her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Cortney 😊 What started with a lifelong love for animals has grown into something I genuinely look forward to every day – getting to know and care for so many different pets. 💕 I’m a proud dog mom to Kona, my Akita/Malamute mix. Caring for him has given me hands-on experience with giant breeds, leash handling, enrichment, and safely managing a reactive dog. Through caring for other dogs, I’ve gained experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and individual needs. Cats have been part of my pet care experience for years, and I love getting to know each one’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, reactive, or a senior, I take the time to understand what helps them feel most comfortable and adjust my care to what works best for them. I’d love to hear about your pets and see if we’d be a great fit! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and offer dog walks, drop-in visits, non-overnight house sitting, and extended daytime care in your home. I’m currently working toward making dog walking and pet sitting my full-time focus, and I’m available for both recurring weekly care and occasional visits. I can work with you to create a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine, whether they need regular walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, or a little extra attention while you’re away. When available, I can also provide transportation to grooming appointments, daycare, boarding, or veterinary visits. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I make communication a priority. You can expect plenty of photos and thoughtful updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and tailor walks or activities to the weather, their energy level, and what they’re comfortable with.
“Valerie was very professional and listened to what I needed and what the dog want. She stayed at my home. I would recommend Valerie to take care of your pootch.”
“Lauren was great! She stayed in my home with my senior pup and I knew he was well cared for. She was great with communication and would absolutely have her watch my boy again. Thanks Lauren!”
“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”
“Laurel provided pictures and videos of our troublemakers. She played with them and provided them with new toys. She gave timely feedback and messaging so we came home to them well cared for.”
“We have a 'difficult' little one, reactionary and weaning off behaviour meds while we were away. KJ did a great job managing our pup, worked with her on training, and gave her all the attention we couldnt. We will be booking her again for sure!”
“She is amazing! Patient , kind, and great with animals!! She fed Malikai and took him out and cater for this big scaredy fluff ball! Thank you so much! I will book again!”
“Tyler was awesome. He did an amazing job caring for our dogs and old cat while we were on vacation. Everyone was well exercised and happy when we came home. He helped with medication as well. Highly recommend! Thanks Tyler.”
“Stephani was such a wonderful sitter for our handful of dogs, that have their various needs (i.e., prescriptions) and strong personalities being huskies. Our doggos seemed instantly calm with her during the meet and greet, and when we returned they didn't want to leave her side. We are so appreciative of her staying with them and giving them such love and care!”
“Dmytro and Katya took a great care of our pup Luna. The folks sent us lots of photos and kept us updated on her behavior. We returned home to a happy dog and a clean house. It was a pleasure to work with Dmytro and Katya”
“Payton was fantastic! Both of our animals were well cared for and completely relaxed when we arrived home. The house was sparkly clean. She sent us pictures and updates regularly. We would have her again in a heartbeat! Great sitter.”
“Anna is FANTASTIC. I can’t say enough nice things about her. She sent pictures everyday to ease my worries and responded right away to texts. She was respectful of property and respected my home. I really appreciated having her take care of my dog.”
“Veronika was great with Baxter. He was happy to see us but we could tell he was well loved and cared for by her. She sent pics and expressed a small concern (which we appreciated ) but turned out just fine. When we returned, it was like he was looking for her to walk in with us. We will definitely book her again.”
About: I’ve owned three dogs across nearly 10 years, including a Border Collie and a Poodle staying in China now. I have over five dog walking experiences back in China, sincerely love all pups and provide regular potty breaks plus daily photo updates for every boarding dog. I stay home most days in Kirkland with flexible free time. I’m fully available all weekends for boarding, and free most weekday afternoons, able to take dogs out for potty breaks every 2–4 hours regularly. I own a secure fenced backyard for dogs’ outdoor play. My two gentle spayed female dogs are staying in China now, I keep home pet-safe and send daily photo updates to owners for every boarding pup.
“Sarah is such a sweetheart and really cared for our senior dog. She listened to our requests and was serious about our dog’s needs. She sent us pictures and provided updates while we were away. She also left our house cleaner than when she arrived. Sarah provided us the peace of mind we needed to attend a family event without worrying about our dog.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingsgate
Veronika was absolutely wonderful to work with when we took a 2-week vacation recently. She was a dream come true while watching our dog and our house and was in constant communication despite an 8-hour time difference. Her care of our dog was impeccable-she picked up on every detail and followed all the instructions so our dog had a totally consistent environment. Veronika has a huge heart for both pets and Owners and I can fully recommend her services. We received 3-4 pictures per day and she always responded to every text; sent questions when needed; let us know if something was happening at the house and supported us with a few small tasks that popped up while we were away. Our dog is sad today now that we are back and Veronika is no longer with her and that pretty much demonstrates how wonderful she was in her care and kindness to our family.
Rob was fantastic with all our pets (one dog and three cats)! We were in the market for a new pet sitter after our old one retired, and we found Rob here on rover. He was super communicative, which was appreciated because our dog is getting old and can be a bit tricky to handle at times, and that causes us a bit of anxiety the first time we work with a sitter. Rob’s updates put us at ease and we trusted that he had everything under control. We will definitely be reaching out to him for our future pet sitting needs!
Can’t recommend Emily enough! We’ve had her house sit several times and she does such an excellent job with our 2 cats. She is extremely communicative, leaves our house in excellent condition, and really loves on our boys while we are away. Couldn’t ask for anything else in a pet sitter!
Teresa is an awesome dog sitter! She took wonderful care of our 10-year-old golden retriever while we were away for two weeks. Two walks a day, lots of hugs, medications on schedule, and the house looked wonderful! She kept us up to date on everything. and definitely spoiled our pal! We highly recommend her, and we give her 100 stars if they were available. Thank you, Teresa
Branden is great. He is very communicative, punctual and respectful. He found dog tv for my dog. He handled sudden requests, like please get my mail-I forgot to ask- very pleasant the whole time. First time I ever had someone stay in my house. I am very private, a bit eccentric, -Brendan made me very comfortable. I never stressed once while gone which was 10 days. Brendan took care my 1 dog and 2 cats. I would recommend and rebook
Elizabeth is great! She cared so patiently for our dog who was stressed by us leaving. She has great dog sense and was gentle and kind. She sent pictures and updates and we knew the dogs were in good hands. It allowed us to enjoy our family vacation and not worry about our furry family at home.
Sarah is such a sweetheart and really cared for our senior dog. She listened to our requests and was serious about our dog’s needs. She sent us pictures and provided updates while we were away. She also left our house cleaner than when she arrived. Sarah provided us the peace of mind we needed to attend a family event without worrying about our dog.
Bev asked excellent questions in preparation for sitting our energetic spaniel Cash. We felt completely comfortable that she knew how to feed and walk him and keep him comfortable with her good company. She is thoroughly professional, and we look forward to having her services again. She is such a nice person that it is a pleasure to know her.

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 Kingsgate 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 Kingsgate 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 Kingsgate 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.
