“Liz took great care of my two pit bulls while I was away. I have hired her twice and would definitely look to her to take care of my dogs again in the future.”
“Katherine was fantastic with our anxious dog! Kodak is generally nervous around new people but Katherine quickly won him over. She provided updates each day and left our house perfectly clean after staying the weekend!”
“There aren't enough words to express how good she was, but I'll try! She was professional and so caring, not just with our dogs, but with our home too. Our flight got delayed and she didn't hesitate to stay later and wait for us. She followed our instructions to the letter, down to the smallest details. One of our dogs needed a bit of extra medical attention during the stay, and she handled it exactly like we would have: calm and on top of it the whole time. By the end, our dogs didn't want her to leave, and honestly, neither did we. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Jean was amazing with our two dogs and two cats. We had gone out of town and were so fortunate to have Jean stay at our home. She provided updates, photos, truly loves animals. We would love to dog have Jean back with us again soon.”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
About: I always had pets around me growing up. We had a horse in our backyard as a kid. My parents were fond of Old English Sheepdogs and we always had a variation or two around. The best time was when they had puppies! There were always cats who walked freely in our backyard and came by for treats. When I move to the city, I always had cat friends. I often got to cat sit for them when they would go out of town. My neighbor’s cat in our Manhattan brownstone, spent more time in my apartment than hers because she preferred my window view. I have no pets now because my husband of many years, is all allergic to everything: bird, dander, cat, and dog hair, even Live cut Christmas tree trees! Now, my substitute teaching job has allowed me time to spend with pets. This is why I would be happy to take care of your cat and dog whenever you need pet care. I have been a substitute teacher for the past five years and am planning a hiatus from teaching. I plan to devote my days to helping my kids get to school and taking care of pets. Being a freelancer has taught me many things: how to adapt to new situations, be flexible with schedule changes and how to manage my time productively. I have taken care of cats for friends who have been out of town or country for long periods. I drive and can easily walk to or from a large section of my neighborhood.
“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 an amazing house/pet sitter for us! He is incredibly communicative, kind, and thoughtful. Our pup was very well cared for and we will definitely be booking with Tyler again in the future. We can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Cortney ☺️ 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 individual 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 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 will adjust walks or activities as needed based on weather, energy level, and individual needs.
“Lauren was great with all of our pets and was super responsive and flexible. She also took on other responsibilities outside of pet sitting. We will definitely have her care for our pets in the future.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Julianne was a great house sitter / pet sitter for our kitty. She cared for him during a nearly 3 week vacation in May 2024. She stayed in communication with us throughout the trip and always gave me a sense that our cat was cared for with affection and love. Took great care of our house and yard which doesn’t require a whole lot but was a comfort while we were away. I especially appreciated that Julianne is retired and could really spend most of her time here. Highly recommended!”

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.
Elizabeth really came through for me when I was out of the country and the sitter I had booked had to leave early. She was on-time, gave great updates and my dogs love her! I was able to relax and enjoy the last day of my vacation knowing that my doggies were being well cared for and attended to.
Kellie was a wonderful sitter for our little Coco. She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures everyday so we could make sure Coco was doing well, and took great care of our home. We were fortunate to find her and will definitely use her again in the future.
Cory was absolutely wonderful with Cody! He took such great care of him while we were away, including taking him on beach walks and sending us lots of pictures and updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Cody was happy and well cared for in his own home. We came home to a happy pup! We would absolutely book with Cory again and highly recommend him!
Cortney watched our 11 year old Lab while my wife and I were away for the weekend, and we couldn't have been more pleased. For an older dog, he has lots of energy, and he was tired and calm when we returned from all the attention he received. We'd recommend Cortney to anyone who wants peace of mind while they're away from their pets and we plan on booking her again soon!
Our dogs loved Sam. Our dogs are older and we were anxious about leaving them with somebody new. But Sam’s experience and her interactions with our pups during the meet and greet, helped put our minds at ease. She was a great communicator prior to our trip and sent daily updates with pictures. When I arrived home, the dogs and the house were well taken care of. We will definitely use Sam’s services again.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kingsgate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kingsgate on Rover is $65.56 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,508 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
