“Could not have asked for a better person to watch Copper. She was very kind, active with walks and play, sent updates every day with pictures. Full recommend for anyone needing help with dog sitting.”
“Dorothy was amazing with Jazmine and Charlie. Jazmine got extra cuddles, Charlie received some training. You always know when you get home if they were well loved. My house was just as I left it even though I had been gone 7 days and she had two dogs to manage. Thank you Dorothy for everything!”
“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!”
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 took great care of our pup and our home while we were out of town for a long weekend. She sent daily pictures, and we appreciated the extra time she spent at our place to keep our dog happy :)”
“Brandt provided exceptional care to our elder dogs. Treated them with daily massages, treats and lots of love. Brandt shared pictures everyday and updates on their activity. He was fantastic!”
“Amanda was absolutely awesome! This was the best stay for our cat Baxter who has a chronic health condition. Amanda did a great job giving him his medication, watching for any signs of health changes and giving great updates. She sent great pictures and stayed with him overnight to make sure his routine wasn’t disrupted. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
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 have worked remotely for the past 12 years. I am in between jobs at the moment but still only searching for remote roles, so my schedule is very flexible. 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 will treat your home and your animals better than my own!
About: My name is Carissa and I love animals. I used to watch dogs and cats for 3 years for some income and it’s something I enjoy. I have some training in keeping animals calm and happy. My grandpa is also a vet so I know a bunch of medical stuff in case of emergency. I have open availability always. I have two big dogs myself so I’m good with all sizes of dogs! I’m very good with other animals including cats.. i enjoy what I do. I like long walks with the dogs and just to spend time with them so when their parents leave they aren’t lonely and depressed. I’m very good with instructions and last minute changes. Very good with time changes and needing to be there earlier than usual. I also have worked at a pet store for 4 years and have learned a lot about animal care! I currently work a part-time job and have plenty of time for your babies. Especially on the weekends! I usually work mornings and maybe one close. I get off by 8:15pm latest! I’m usually up pretty early and can spend the day with your babes! I have a separate room dedicated for your baby to feel safe and comfortable if needing to stay in my home! I only have cats and can keep them secure as well!
“Sydney was great! Very responsive and nice! I know my pet is kind of particular in his ways so I really appreciated her care. She also left my house cleaner than when she came! I couldn’t even tell that she was ever there!”
“Kailee did a fantastic job with in home dog sitting for my 3 dogs. I have a difficult young Belgian Shepherd that is scared of people. Kailee worked with her and had no problems dealing with her. She also had to handle the 4th of July fireworks and big storms with all the dogs and handled it like a pro. The house was clean and she watered the plants.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a kid, and now at age 45, you could definitely do worse for someone to take care of your pup. I am available for boarding, house sitting (dependent upon the situation), doggy daycare and/or walks. As a retiree, I have all of the time needed to properly care for your pet. I am currently a dog owner, so your pup will have company. I have a large, fenced in yard, with plenty of shade. I primarily keep my dog in the home, so your pup will have as much time in or outside as he/she prefers.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kingston is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
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.
