“Laurel was such a good communicator, getting us lots of updates and asking us about any behavioral quirks to make sure Ruby was feeling like herself! Great to know that our dog was being sat by someone looking out for their emotional wellbeing as well!”
“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.”
“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”

I highly recommend her. she is reliable, communicative, with excellent follow through.”

About: I’ve been a dog parent, on and off, since 2006 from 5lbs to 90lbs dogs. I am confident, patient, & praise positive reinforcements for best communication. Open availability. I work remotely full-time and control my own schedule. All my services are available throughout the week and weekends for one-time or ongoing. We have a gated balcony on our second floor unit and pet friendly environment in our complex. Easy access to walking trails and Marymoor park. My 3 year-old helps with feeding, play, walks, and cuddles. During the day between 10-6pm we have the option of daycare or grandparent’s care and some weekends if necessary. We have hardwood floors with a few area rugs. We allow dogs on couch and bed if preferred.
“Thank you Barb for your care of my doggo. I appreciate you keeping me updated on how he was doing while I was gone and always checking in if something came up that you thought I should know. I know he was well- cared for which allowed me to have a worry free vacation!”
“Just started using Lindsey. She did a great job keeping me updated, and checking things. asked good questions. cleaned up after herself—dishes, linens and trash. Aki my dog is happy and healthy. All her stuffie “babies” are scattered for her to enjoy. I would definitely use Lindsey again! Darlene”
“Xueyan was an amazing sitter for our dog Freckles. Freckles had to have back surgery two months ago and we were worried about leaving her, but after the first couple of conversations with Xueyan we knew she’d be in wonderful hands! She was very communicative and lets us know how Freckles was doing and did PT with her. I would highly recommend Xueyan!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kim. She asked a lot of great questions, shared updates and kept in contact while we were away and we came home to a happy pup! I would completely recommend Kim and absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Nicole took such good care of my dog Josie! Josie is nervous of new people but she warmed up to Nicole so quickly, I appreciated Nicole's understanding of nervous/particular dogs. She stopped in my apartment multiple times a day to take care of Josie, and I loved the daily update pictures she sent me. Thanks so much :)”
“Kristie is fantastic! She watched two of our dogs while we were out of town and they both loved her. I received numerous updates while I was gone with photos of happy dogs on walks. There was a few special instructions for our dogs given that one is a puppy and the other is a runner and we were overjoyed to see how carefully she took care of them. I would highly recommend Kristie for any dog sitting or walking services.”
“Gloria has pet sit Rosie several times now on top of our regular daily check-ins. Rosie is a giant mastiff and Gloria cares for her like she was a small dog! Leaving my fur baby with Gloria, puts my mind at ease. I know she visits and stays with Rosie as we discussed and leaves my home clean and animals cared for as if it was myself. When I come home, Rosie is happy and calm! Gloria is literally one of the beat pet sitters and I am thankful to have her in Rosie and my life!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingsgate
Amazing experience! 10 Star Review! Responsive, communicative, kind, cared for my dog and my home . She was a life saver in a very odd dog watching fiasco (friend stayed and then left before the sitting was done). I was out of of the country traveling and needed someone to step in for and care for my senior dog. She made it happen and returned my piece of mind during a very stressful situation. I am very grateful for her service. Great experience!
This was our first time having Shana house-sit our girl Rue at our home and she was fantastic! She was super responsive, sent detailed daily updates accompanied by beautiful photos of Rue, and our house was spotless with fresh sheets on the bed when we arrived home. She truly went above and beyond - and after a long and tiring journey, we couldn’t have appreciated it more. Thank you, Shana, for the peace of mind you gave us while we were so far away, and for taking such great care of Rue and our home! 🌟
Xueyan was an amazing sitter for our dog Freckles. Freckles had to have back surgery two months ago and we were worried about leaving her, but after the first couple of conversations with Xueyan we knew she’d be in wonderful hands! She was very communicative and lets us know how Freckles was doing and did PT with her. I would highly recommend Xueyan!!
Aasha has a very loving, calming and joyful personality. She sat Toby as if he was her own. She took care of our house well and made sure Toby was cared for at all times. We would absolutely recommend Aasha and definitely looking to call her back. Thanks Aasha!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kingsgate is $65 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $112 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 October 2026, there are 7,412 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kingsgate. 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 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.
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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
