“Kailey was great! We have a brand new puppy and our older dog injured her paw, so it certainly wasn’t the easiest job but she handled it like a pro. She was communicative and professional.”
“Ginger really bonded with Grace, the week that Grace stayed with her. Grace took her for car rides, long walks and gave extra special attention at night. The pictures that we received showed how content Ginger was with Grace. Ginger can be some what cautious when meeting new people. However, she took to Grace quite well. We look forward to having Grace take care of Ginger again.”
“Olivia was very accommodating for a last minute dog sitting request and did two meet and greets leading up to it because my dog can be nervous around new people. They clicked well immediately and it was a huge relief to leave Sadie in great hands. Sadie had a blast with Olivia and I will definitely have Olivia watch Sadie in the future!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with my 2 dogs Booma & Bo. She stayed with them for 7 days and took care of all their needs effortlessly. Booma is an older dog with many needs and medications to take daily and she did that for him with no problem. I will 100% be using her services again if she’s available to look after my babies. She went above and beyond.”
“We recently went on vacation and had the absolute pleasure of entrusting Hannah with the care of our pup. From start to finish, she provided exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for in our home. Daily updates, including photos and messages, gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was happy, relaxed, and receiving plenty of attention. Hannah followed all our instructions perfectly, kept our home neat and tidy, and left everything just as we left it. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we have already booked with Hannah again for later this month. If you're looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter, look no further—Hannah is the best!”
About: I have never lived in a household without pets before, so taking care of cats and dogs (and fish) is something I’ve done my whole life. I’ve owned three black labs and multiple cats over the years. I especially love big dogs, but am a big fan of all animals! Besides Saturdays, I am available any day and any times through the summer. I start law school at the very end of August and will have less availability at that time, but I will still be looking for work! I love to keep my pets active and enriched, whether that means going on a walk, playing fetch in the yard, or going to the beach for a swim!
About: Hello! I’m Ava, and I want to care for your animals with the same love I show for mine :). I’ve been walking and house sitting mainly dogs but I also have experience caring for cats of all demeanors! I have been an animal lover as far back as I can remember, and I love making animals feel the same happiness and joy they bring us. Rain or shine I’ll make sure to give your pet the best experience possible. I have two dogs myself, a 10 year old lab and a 15 y/o Pomeranian with arthritis, so I have experience with big dogs as well as elderly dogs and the extra gentle care they require. I adapt to all dogs demeanors, whether they love an energetic playmate or are needing extra gentle care, I’ll accommodate to what they need. I look forward to meeting your fur baby soon! Pet care has a big place in my heart, so I set aside a lot of time to do it :) Monday - Friday, 6am - 8pm. But if needed I can stretch the hours to make time for your animals! I am willing to take your pup to your favorite places to walk if you want them to have an extra scenic experience on a path in the woods or park. I drive a Subaru Outback with accommodations for taking large and small dogs. Whether in the house or on a leash I will provide your pet the best experience possible, and provide my own doggie bags for walks!
“Nathalia was fantastic! On time, communicative, and thorough. She made sure our very anxious dog was at ease and happy the entire time which isn’t always an easy task! She is everything you would hope for in a sitter!”
“Taylor was awesome! Super communicative the before and during the stay which was incredibly appreciated! She sent great pictures and videos of the animals and even took my dog to the dog park and on a hike! I was very nervous and she made me feel completely at ease, 10/10 would book Taylor again!”
“Duncan is absolutely wonderful. my dogs warmed to his gentle and calm demeanor instantly. he frequently sent photos and video updates which provided me with peace of mind while away from my pups. would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Breanna was excellent! Very compassionate caring for our senior dog Maya! She put our mind at ease on very short notice to attend our daughters wedding that was out of town. Can't thank her enough!”
About: I've been pet sitting for my family as long as I can remember. My parents have always had pets, so I've spent my entire life caring for many different animals. I have experience caring after dogs, cats, chickens, fish, and small mammals such as bunnies and rats. I am also knowledgeable about reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates though I have never personally owned any. I am self employed so I am completely open to any time a pet sitter is needed. I am available at all hours of the day and on short notice if you are in a rush! I try my best to create a safe and clean environment for any animal. I will follow any instructions given to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible!
“Ashley stepped in when my pet sitter canceled a week before Christmas and she was amazing!! Maui and Kaedie were well taken care of and I came home to happy pets and a clean house. I’d happily book with Ashley the next time we go on vacation.”
“Madeline was exemplary in providing attentive care for Teddy and the house while we were away for a long weekend. She followed our protocol sheet to a “T” and provided exercise and comfort for Teddy daily. Madeline kept the house spotless and took care of any additional concerns with ease. We will be looking to work with Madeline again in the future.”
“Pamela was amazing! She accepted a last-minute booking to watch Willie Nelson, and we are so grateful. She arrived right on time, kept us updated throughout, and was so communicative and thoughtful. Willie was happy and relaxed when we got home, and we could tell he was well cared for. We’d book Pamela again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, especially dogs. My first pup was an Irish Setter when I was just four, and over the years my family rescued many dogs — including plenty of Basset Hounds — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. I’m now a cat owner as well — it’s a new experience, but one I’ve grown to love. At the moment, I’m available nearly every day, including weekends, thanks to a flexible work schedule. I’m happy to work around your needs and adjust as things come up. My kids are fully grown, so I have some more time on my hands! I’m completely comfortable crating dogs when needed, and I’m confident handling daily walks, potty breaks, and general exercise routines to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well‑cared for.
“I could not recommend Shauna more! She stayed at our home with our pup for over a week while we were on vacation and our house and dog could not have been in better hands. She sent wonderful updates/photos and cared for our place as if it were her own. Having someone so responsible while being away made our trip just that much more enjoyable. We can hardly wait to have her back and I know our furry friend agrees! Thank you, Shauna!”
About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.
“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our pets and our home while we were away for an extended trip. From the very beginning, she stood out as incredibly thorough, experienced, and responsible. She took our meet-and-greet seriously, asked thoughtful and detailed questions, and made sure she understood our pets’ routines, personalities, needs, and all of the little details of caring for our home before we left. She was also exceptionally prompt in her responses and proactive in her communication. We never had to wonder how things were going or reach out repeatedly for updates; Lindsay took the initiative to keep us informed throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. Her communication made it very clear that she is an experienced sitter who understands how important it is for pet owners to feel connected and reassured while they are away. Throughout the stay, Lindsay gave us every confidence that our pets were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious that she took the time to learn their individual routines and personalities rather than simply going through the motions. She was attentive to the details we had discussed and treated their care with the same level of thoughtfulness and responsibility she showed during our initial meeting. She was equally respectful and attentive with our home. We returned to everything clean, organized, and very well cared for, along with happy and relaxed pets. Coming home after a long trip and immediately being able to see how thoughtfully everything had been looked after was such a relief. Most importantly, Lindsay gave us genuine peace of mind from beginning to end. Her thoroughness, responsiveness, initiative, and clear experience made it easy to trust that our pets and home were in excellent hands. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely trust Lindsay to house sit for us again. We would recommend her without hesitation!”

Niamh did an excellent job dog sitting for our two dachshunds. She kept us updated with texts and photos and reached out to us with any concerns. She even came to meet with us so the doggies would be familiar with her before she stayed at the house. I was very happy with her love and attention to our pups and will be booking with her again.
Nicole was really attentive and active with my 85# dog reactive pit mix. She went on a bunch of long walks, letting him sniff and hang out in the water. She sent pictures throughout and updated me with any updates. Before she even left I booked her again! Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience with Anna! She took care of our dog and cat for 10 days and from the pictures she sent we knew they were safe and having a great time. Anna was easy to schedule with and very professional. We will definitely be asking her to help in the future! Feel free to call me if you would like more information about our experience. -Cara 617-869-6569
Ashley was fantastic! I would definitely utilize her again! She was great communicating with me and she took excellent care of my dog and the house. She was so responsible during an unexpected snow storm as well during her stay. Can’t thank you enough Ashley! Mary

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kingston on Rover is $85.26 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 2,494 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
