“Valerie was amazing! She cared for my Lucy and Remy as if they were her own and even went the extra mile to try to help with some pool issues that arose at my house while I was away. Her care and dedication was so appreciated and I will be sure to book again with her when needed! I highly recommend Valerie if your pet needs love and attention as if you weren’t away!”
“Amber did a great job with our three pups. The day before our trip one of our girls got very ill and she was excellent at getting her to eat and take her meds. By the time we got back she was her normal self again!”

“Dorthy accepted a last minute Masters booking to allow us to spend time with my family away. Our Daisy is very distrusting of new humans but Dorthy took that challenge and by the end of it, Daisy was cuddling with her. Her communication was outstanding and our baby was well cared for.”
“Mikiyah was great. She was very attentive to my pups. My boxer is usually very anxious when I leave so much so that he won’t eat, but we did not have that problem at all while he was with Mikiyah. My Frenchie got lots of cuddle time. Mikiyah sent lots of pictures and updates and I would 100% book her again.”
“Amanda gives my old boy, Gilbert, good care. I know he is well taken care of when I need to be away. She is sweet, kind and compassionate towards animals. Will definitely book her again.”
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.
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! She was very responsive when we had questions and always went above and beyond to make our Scarlet feel loved. We highly recommend her to anyone that wants their furbabies to be well taken care of and loved. We will definitely have Amanda take care of our furbaby again!”
“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!”
“Brandt was an exceptional pet sitter to our energetic pup. He gave her an incredible amount of attention and sent regular photo updates how she was doing. I would high recommend Brandt to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their dog!”
“A top-notch caregiver for my two kitties and I have worked with many sitters in the past 10 years. I chose Asha because she has experience with special needs pets. She was willing to house sit with my babies so that she could express the bladder of my special needs girl. She fed, watered, brushed, loved and expressed the bladder of my little one every 6 hours to keep her on schedule day and night. If you are hesitant about traveling because of your fur babies, call Asha. She is delightful, willing, clean, communicative and observant. She will care for your home and your pets as her own. There are not enough stars for me to recommend Asha highly enough! She is a personable, professional, and experienced lover of animals… I have already talked with her about future sits. She is the answer to my prayers and my babies love her!”
“She sent me lots of pictures and was very sweet and patient with my cat who was shy about a new person. She was very understanding and communicative. Thank you for your help!!”
“Perla watched our 2 dogs Chase and Luke at our home for 8 days. We had never left our dogs for that long, but I never once worried because she was on top of things. She was great with giving me updates, asking any questions and sending me pictures. My one dog Chase had peed once in the house and she cleaned up as needed. She also took good care of my Chase’s condition. I would highly recommend Perla to anyone!”
“Christina did an excellent job. I was away overnight and she took care of my golden retriever. She was very attentive to her needs very responsible and she took good care of my home.”
“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!”

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! 🐾

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.
<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 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 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.
