About: I’m a proud pet owner of cats and dogs alike for over 10 years. I’ve been pet sitting for other people for over 5 years and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind through dependable, attentive care. I’m a student at Augusta University, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m in the Augusta area year-round and can often accommodate weekday, weekend, and last-minute bookings. I work hard to be dependable, responsive, and flexible so your pet can stay on their normal routine while you’re away. Whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or weekend pet sitting, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I treat every home with respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while you’re away, and I’ll provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in safe, caring hands.
“Hannah was excellent with our dog, Foxy! We loved the regular updates that she’d send, and she was super quick to communicate with us. It was our first time using Rover and she made the process so easy. She got along with our dog instantly and we were so relieved to know Foxy was in safe hands while we were away.”
“Dorothy did a fantastic job while house sitting my two pups! She followed their schedule and was back and forth many times during the day to check on them and let them out to potty and play. I could tell when I arrived home that they had been well taken care of. I will definitely use Dorothy again for overnight doggy care!”
“Mikiyah was so good with my dog Cane. She kept me updated every day and sent lots of pictures/videos. She also was able to accommodate me last minute. We will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals and breeds since I was a young girl. I love all animals and always have had a great bond with them. If you choose me your dog won’t only be well feed, clean and active. They will also be very very happy. I love spending my days surrounded by adorable pets. I am available during the week anytime. I am the boss of my own travel agency so I do work mostly at home. So I will still be able to provide your fur baby with everything they need. I tend to not get much sleep on a regular basis so your fur baby will be constantly looked after. I actually have my own fur baby’. Onyx and Phoenix are my pride and joy and so is taking care of your baby. They love making new friends and playing all day. I’ll always treat your baby as if he or she was my baby.
“Mary is always great! She stayed in my home and took care of my two babies while I was away, and I just appreciate that I have someone I can trust in my home and with my girlies”
“Great woman, took care of my baby like her own. I can’t thank her enough. She was super patient with my baby. Very accommodating when I needed it and gave me regular updates sometimes 2-3 times a day. I can’t thank her enough, and I can’t wait to refer her to others and will definitely use her again in my future trips!”
“Grace cared for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for a long weekend. During our meet and greet, Grace loved on our dogs and we were confident she would do a great job caring for them. We came back to an orderly house and happy animals!”
“Caitlin was such a blessing! From the beginning of reaching out with the request, to house sitting my puppy S’mores, Caitlin was nothing but amazing! She communicated throughout the stay, which was so appreciated! Definitely will be requesting to have her watch S’mores again!”
“Genesis was excellent! Great communication, kept us updated, and took great care of our pets. Our home was clean and well-maintained when we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah was a wonderful sitter for our dogs and our home! This was our first time using Rover & she made us feel very confident in leaving our dogs & home for the weekend. Our girls were very well taken care of & will definitely use Hannah in the future!”
About: I love all animals (except maybe tarantulas) and know how important it is to have a responsible person to care for your pets while you are away. As a former vet tech, I can identify issues early, know when they can be treated at home vs requiring a vet visit, and I can also administer medications and fluids. While I cannot board animals in my own home due to having two dogs of my own, I can't wait to cuddle with your pets while you're away and ensure they are well taken care of! I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to take a break for drop-in visits or a dog walk or bring my laptop and work from your home during an in-home stay. I know it can be hard to trust a stranger in your own home so I thank you in advance for giving me an opportunity to prove that I am trustworthy, responsible, honest, and genuine. I promise I will treat your home and your animals better than my own!
About: I love caring for my friends' pets when they're away for the weekend! I'm equally a dog and cat person and have experience looking after both. I'd love to give your pets the same care and attention while you're away! I have a really flexible schedule on the weekends, so I'm happy to work around your plans! I also enjoy getting some movement in the morning, so if your pup loves an early adventure, I'm more than happy to take them along. I can easily crate your animal if needed. I do not have a backyard area or balcony. Animals are free to roam around wherever they please.
“Brandt was amazing!!! He took such great care of our animals while we were gone for almost 3 weeks and was head and shoulders above basic care. He provided multiple updates, communicated any issues immediately, conducted himself as a consummate professional at all times and was a thoughtful & considerate house guest. He made sure our pets were treated like the family members that they are, treats flowed in abundance and walks were numerous. Thank you so much, this enabled us to keep them in the comfort of our home and that peace of mind was everything!!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have five dogs of my own, so caring for dogs is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve also cared for dogs for private families and understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I love giving dogs plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m in college from 8:00 AM to about 12:30 PM, so I’m available before and after classes for pet care. I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I want both you and your pet to feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Aliyah and I’m a dependable and caring pet lover located in the Forest Hills area of Augusta. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they are my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Whether it’s walks, potty breaks, or relaxing time, I focus on making sure each pet feels happy and secure. Communication with pet parents is very important to me. During visits or stays, I send multiple photos, videos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I want owners to feel relaxed knowing their pets are in good hands. I currently work from home part-time, which allows me to bring my laptop with me and stay flexible with my schedule. This means I can spend more time with pets during visits or stays and make sure they are getting the attention and care they need throughout the day. I also have personal experience raising and caring for dogs. I have my own dogs who are mixed with Yorkie and Shih Tzu. My first dog, Titus, is the dad. Later on, I got a Shih Tzu girl named Tabby, and they unexpectedly had five puppies. I made sure each puppy went to a loving home, two went to my first cousin and my mom in St. Louis, one went to a coworker, and another went to a close high school friend. I ended up keeping the fifth puppy, Mazi, who is now two years old. A close friend originally planned to take her but later decided it might be too much while preparing for their first child. I didn’t want to give him to just anyone, so I happily kept her as part of my family. All of my dogs are now spayed and neutered, and they are well loved and cared for. Having my own pets has given me firsthand experience with different dog personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different temperaments and needs, including senior pets that may need extra attention. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best experience possible. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress free experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work part-time in Human Resources, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend quality time caring for pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, and visits most days and weekends. Because of my schedule, pets are not left alone for long periods. I make sure they receive regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day so they feel comfortable and relaxed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I live in a townhome in the Forest Hills area of Augusta, Georgia with a small fenced outdoor space where dogs can safely get fresh air and quick potty breaks. It’s similar to a patio or balcony area but larger, and I also take dogs on walks for additional exercise and stimulation. I only care for one client at a time so each pet receives my full attention. Pets are welcome on furniture if that is what they are used to at home. I always send photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing during their stay.
“Amanda has been so wonderful to our pets! She's come in clutch when we didn't know where else to turn and they've been so happy with her! We've used her services multiple times, she's so reliable.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kingston is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
Nina is an absolute gem! We booked her to stay at home with our 12 year old dog Julia for a relatively last minute 3-day trip. Nina was super communicative throughout the entire process, and sent us pictures of Julia every day. Julia was happy and super relaxed when we came home (almost like she had a little vacation of her own with Nina)! And Nina even took out the trash and washed the linens/towels she’d used before heading out (which was absolutely not an expectation that I had, but totally appreciated, and is just further proof of what a considerate person she is). I’d absolutely rebook Nina to take care of our old lady Julia in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help care for their furry loved ones!
Working with Hannah was great. I needed to be gone for a full day with a 4 month old kitten and two 3 month old puppies that require a lot of attention. She was able to come by the house a week in advance to meet the pets and learn the routine, and on the day of my event she arrived promptly and helped to distract the pups so I could finish with my preparations. She was accommodating when things ran a little late, and all the animals seemed to bond well with her. I highly recommend choosing Hannah for your pet needs.
Yu Bing was absolutely amazing! She took such loving, attentive care of my dogs, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent updates, photos, and treated my pups like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend her dog sitting services! 🐾
I am so thankful for Megan. This was a last minute trip for us and we didn't have a lot of time for meet & greet. But after meeting, I felt very comfortable leaving her at my home and with my 3 babies. They all seemed to be very content and happy when I returned (although she didn't see one of them much of the time). Megan is dependable and completely trustworthy. We will definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kingston on Rover is $61.05 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 308 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kingston. 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 Kingston 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 Kingston 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 Kingston 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 with handling special pet needs in Kingston. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
