“Lisa did an amazing job taking care of our Callie girl! She was spoiled and loved all the cuddles. I loved getting pictures and the communication that was given. It put our minds at ease. Callie loved having you pet sit her.”
“Vanessa was great! I was recovering from a hospital stay and needed all day sit in at my home to care for my lab. Vanessa was the perfect match and my dog loved her instantly. Highly recommended and I will book again as needed.”
“Ember cared for our three small dogs for two days while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated with plenty of photos, and truly went above and beyond. Not only did she take them on walks, but she also gave them so much love and attention—it was clear she genuinely cared. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such great hands.”
“2nd time using Michelle. Still awesome to work with. My dogs were excited to see her! Can’t get a better reception than that. Thank you for giving us a nice weekend away to visit family!”

About: Hi! I'm Lili! I've grown up surrounded by dogs and have always had a huge soft spot for them. I currently have an 8 year old pup of my own, who I absolutely cherish. Being a dog mom has taught me just how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your fur baby. I know how hard it can be to leave your pup behind, whether you're heading to work, traveling, or simply need an extra hand. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I am happy to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I will treat your loved one with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. During visits, I am more than happy to provide plenty of pets, playtime, walks, cuddle, meals, fresh water, and whatever routine your pup is used to. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, so I will take the time to get to know what makes your pet comfortable and happy. Most importantly, I want you to have a piece of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hand. I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday from 12:00pm - 8:30pm. I'm available for morning walks and drop-in visits before work, as well as limited evening availability after work depending on the location and your pet's needs. On the weekends, I am fully available and have much more flexibility for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pup is in caring and trustworthy hands. I will take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, needs and comfort level. I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding, feeding, medications, walks, allergies, and any other special care your pet may need. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to your pet and prioritize their safety at all times. I am also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have a peace of mind while you're away. For house sitting, I'll treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, follow your house rules, and make sure your pet maintains their normal routine as much as possible. Most importantly, I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved and at home.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I a newborn and have been caring for them since I was around 5 years old! Around the time I turned 15, I began dog watching for neighbors and family friends so I have about 6 years of paid experience. I have an abundance of expertise with big dogs as all 7 dogs I’ve been lucky enough to have grown up with have been over 60 lbs with the biggest pup weighing about 110 lbs. I also have several years of experience with senior pups including my oldest pup Walter 😊 He has arthritis and has had several tumors so I am familiar with administering oral and topical medications if needed as well as post-surgery care. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions regarding my experience that I can clarify for you! I am a community college student with reliable transportation (if planned) and am available several hours through out the week. I am open to short-notice walks, check ins, and dog-sitting inquiries but please understand I may not always be available to fulfill your request due to me sharing a car with my parent. If you book with me 24 hours prior and I am available there should be no transportation issues. My availability is as follows: Mondays: please reach out for more info Tuesdays & Wednesdays: 9:30 am - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Thursdays: 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Friday/Saturday/Sunday: Any time While I do not offer boarding services because of my senior, I do offer dog-sitting, walks, and check-in services. I promise to love your pup like they are my own! With my own dogs I tend to sit on the floor next to them more than on furniture because I like that they think I am at their level when I do that! I will talk to your pup/pups like they can understand me and are responding which might be weird for some but if you get it you get it 🤗 Also unless otherwise stated by dog mom/dad I always bring a couple treats for puppy to try! As with anything else you have questions about please do not hesitate to reach out!
“We couldn’t have been happier. Traci was very upbeat and friendly. Great with communication. She went above and beyond with caring for our baby as well as our home. She did many thoughtful things that were not expected of her, and they did not go unnoticed. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of help with their fur babies.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 821 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
