“Our small dog Marty had an overnight stay here, and we're thrilled with how well she was cared for. We received updates and photos during the stay, which always puts me at ease. My dog seemed happy and relaxed.”
“Jorge and family are wonderful people! Stanley had a great time and was well taken care of. Jorge’s home is perfectly suited for our dog’s needs and we will definitely be back when needed in the future. Thank you!”
“Sumer continues to be the best! It always warms our heart to see how excited our dog gets when we arrive at her house—he can’t wait to get inside to see all his friends and playmates! Special shout-out this time for Sumer quickly trouble-shooting a solution when I realized that I’d miscalculated and sent the wrong amount of food for our dog’s stay; we know he’s always in good hands with Sumer, and as any pet parent knows, that’s the best feeling!”
“Jacqueline & Uriel C. were super nice and my dog was happy staying at theirs. They sent updates on how my dog was doing and I will definitely book with them again :)”
“Brian and his fiancé cared for my dogs during a last minute weekend trip and I greatly appreciated the willingness to take my two dogs and look after them. They were wonderful with my dogs! Thank you”
“Jacqueline and her family took excellent care of our pups. They were patient with our pups despite the challenges they presented. We received regular updates that included videos and text. I knew they were in good hands and this allowed us to enjoy our time away. I will choose them every time we are away for an extended time. You should pick her too!”
About: I have been training/showing my dogs since 2002. I have been watching friends and family dogs for 10 years, puppy through 12 years old. While in my care basic manners will be reinforced through positive methods only. Having dogs in my home is always a joy. I am newly retired and now have the opportunity without work restrictions to care for your dog in my home with availability seven days a week. I have a fenced yard with a locked gate and a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if it is needed. My dog’s manners are always reinforced and awarded and so will yours in my care.
“Linda and George took amazing care of my pup. They sent update photos everyday and even took my pup out and about, which he loved every second of it! I would 1000% recommend them for any type of dog sitting and I know my pup can’t wait for the next trip back!”
About: Growing up with dogs means dog-sitting comes naturally! We love all dogs and promise to treat them just like family. From nightly belly rubs to outdoor walks, we cover it all! With a cozy home and walkable community, your pets will feel right at home. We’re very comfortable providing medications or making other accommodations for your pet’s needs. With a work from home schedule, one, or often both of us, are home most of the day! Your fur baby will receive constant attention, supervision, 1-on-1 attention, and a low-stress home for your dog 🐶 We know how important your pets are to you because we feel the same way about ours. Leaving your furry family member with someone else can be stressful, so our goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet will be cared for in a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. We take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay. We believe trust starts with communication. We’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re happy and well cared for. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, explore, or simply relax nearby, we’re happy to give them the attention and affection they need. Most importantly, we want every pet in our care to feel like part of the family. ❤️ Our home is a place where pets can feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away.
About: Hello, I’m a mother of one, and we own a Siamese cat named Atlas. We had a dog a couple of years ago and he has since passed due to an accident and as we’re opening our hearts to the thought of a new member we’re also opening our doors to care for pets while we go on our own journey of finding our own Canine Best Friend. We reside in a a very safe- family friendly neighborhood.( Elgin, IL) Our cat; Atlas stays indoors and in his own room as he likes his privacy so there is no worries about anccidental ill encounters. Since I am a home-maker, a have a lot of time on my side. My regular routine with a toddler is very active in terms of going outside, going for walks, running etc and we wake up everyday with the same goal. “Be tired by the end of the day” 🏃🙏 Yard is UNFENCED. All dogs will be on their leash when playing in the yard. If they have an EXTENDED length leash, it’d be great for them to run around more freely!
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“Great experience leaving my pup with Katey and her family. They are loving caring people and took great care of my puppy. Katey kept me updated on my puppy’s stay and how she was doing. My pup got to play with her dog and came back home very happy. I would recommend anyone to have them watch your dog.”
“Emily and family treated our Briggs like their own. They went on walks, cozied up by the fire and had a sleepover in the living room because he can’t get up stairs very well. I was sent pictures and he looked happy and content! We will be sure to give Emily a call next time we need someone to watch Briggs!”
About: I have had dogs and cats since childhood, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, taking dogs for walks, and making sure they have fresh food and water. I am patient, responsible, and caring, and I will treat your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are very important to me. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats has taught me how important love, patience, and proper care are. I am a kind, responsible, and attentive person who enjoys spending time with pets and getting to know their unique personalities. I would love to help care for your furry family members and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you are away. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I will always treat your pet with patience, kindness, and care. During walks, I will keep your dog securely leashed and pay attention to our surroundings. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, routines, and special needs. I will also keep you updated and send photos so you can feel confident that your beloved pet is in caring hands.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Kingston can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Kingston home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Kingston.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kingston. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
You and your Kingston sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
