“Anastasia was wonderful with Max. She is very responsive and a good communicator. She followed all instructions well and left my home in hear spotless condition. Max was in great spirits when I got home. I'm so thankful Anastasia could watch Max so last minute. We would love to have her watch Max again.”
“We adopted our 3rd cat the week before we left! Valerie was great she took our dog every where with her and keep up with all that needs to be done with 3 cats, dog and the wild brids! She texted us regularly to keep us updated! I would highly recommend but I want to save her for my animals!”
“Jean is a kind, trustworthy and very knowledgeable fur baby and house sitter. After a year of not traveling and our previous Rover friend retiring, we all interviewed Jean. Our dog and 2 cats walked right up to her and we all knew that she was perfect. Jean stayed at our home for 5 days and updated us as needed. We have her scheduled fir more trips and are very happy to have found our new fur baby friend.”
“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!”
“Loretta is amazing! Never have I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with anyone.. ❤️ I have three dogs and two geriatric, one blind and one deaf and Loretta was attentive, loving and communicative with great updates and photos!”
“Barbara was fantastic! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and aquarium. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and by the end of Barbara's stay, the dog was comfortable with her. She provide updates daily and did not hesitate when any instructions were unclear. I will definitely book with Barbara again.”
“Tyler was AMAZING. This was the first time I've hired him and can't say enough about how much I trusted him with all my pets while I was away. He was incredibly communicative - more so than any Rover sitter I've had before. He took such great care of the house and left it spotless (massively appreciated but totally not expected). With two cats and two dogs, I rarely come home to a clean house. I will absolutely hire him again without hesitation!”
“Natalia did a wonderful job house sitting out two cats. Bothe kitties were well cared for and loved. We came back to a clean house and very happy kitties. We will definitely be contacting her again.”
“Cory is absolutely amazing. He stayed at my house for 8 days with my two King Charles Cavaliers, one is blind. He took such good care of them and sent me a lot of photos and messages. They were so happy when I got home and I don’t think they even missed me! I definitely recommend Cory you will be glad you did.”
“Robert did such an excellent job. He maintains constant communication and sends pictures and updates. He is very friendly and our puppies adored him. He did so amazing with our reactive girl (10/10)”
“Li was great. She showed up with a whole checklist of things that I had even forgotten would be important to bring up. She got along amazingly well with my pup. She took Kalli on a walk, and handled her very well. Was upfront about what she could and couldn't do. Definitely someone to trust with your pup. :)”
“Shawn is awesome and kept real good care of Toby! She was kind to give me tons of cuddles and made him stay calm while we were away!! We would recommend shawn to everyone”
“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.”
“Sarah did a fantastic job sitting for our wild pup Baker! She was very communicative and left our place nice and tidy. She is super sweet and even emptied our dishwasher. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Kino stayed with our Labradoodle over Winter Break. It was a last minute trip and Kino was great to work with us on such short notice. Kino loves animals and our dog went right to her when she arrived. Boo did well and I would like to use Kino again when we travel. House was clean, the dog was happy and so were my husband and I . It was a peace of mind to have such a wonderful young lady staying at our home with Boo.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingsgate
Shana was super attentive and kept me well informed of all the goings on with the pups while I was away. She did an excellent job with their semi-complicated schedules and some ongoing medical needs. I really appreciated all the adorable photos she sent too. Would definitely book with Shana again!
Kimberly was fantastic. We had been skeptical due to stories we had heard from other friends. However, Kimberly took better care of Chase than we do! She was incredibly thoughtful and considerate of his needs and daily routine. She gave us such peace of mind knowing our pup was being cared for and provided daily check ins which were amazing. We will absolutely we using Kimberly again!
Li took such amazing care of Kuma and our home! She sent so many photo updates everyday of their walks, playtime, and even nap/rest time! Kuma can be an anxious dog, so we always try to find a sitter comfortable enough to handle her big emotions - Li was very knowledgeable about Kuma’s breed and behavior from previous experience caring for similar dogs, so we were immediately put at ease knowing Kuma was in great hands! Leaving for trips without our dog is always difficult, but Li made it so much easier for us. We will absolutely book with Li again!
Jean was fantastic with our dog, Abbey and took great care of her. Abbey is elderly and mostly blind & deaf so she needs special care and Jean understood that very well. Jean even washed the sheets and kept things ship shape in our home. She has a unique way with dogs and we will call on her services again. She's great!
Kino was incredible!! This was our first time using Rover and she was willing to come meet us beforehand to make us feel comfortable. She immediately bonded with our pup and ensured we would get updates during the visit. Kino arrived on time and was ready for a very long day with our dog. She did amazing! Sent us pictures throughout the whole day, she was so helpful with the house, and really kept us at ease with unique requests.
This was our fourth time having Teresa house sit and care for our big goofy dog 🐕 and spicey cat. 🐈⬛. Once again they are super happy and well cared for and we are very appreciative of the care and attention to detail Teresa gives them and their needs. I highly recommend her and already have another week booked with her later this summer.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kingsgate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kingsgate on Rover is $64.06 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,607 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 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
