House Sitting in Kingston

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!

“Liz was fabulous. I have 5 pets, 3 main Coon cats and 2 yellow labs. They are a handful and Liz was awesome. When I came home from my trip. Our Pet Pod was very happy and chill. Unusual for having a stranger in the house. Liz when above and beyond! I will hire her again and again if she is available”

“Hannah did a fantastic job watching our pups. We have a Newfoundland and Great Pyrenees and she handled them (all 250+ lbs of them!) great! She kept to their normal routine and gave them lots of love. She sent updates and pictures which was so thoughtful. She even helped us in a pinch with an additional pup. Would certainly ask Hannah to watch the boys again and would recommend her to anyone who asked! Thanks Hannah!”

“Danielle arrived on time to house sit our dog. My dog immediately warmed up to her. We were running late and Danielle stayed until we came back. She has a passion in caring for pets and we would definitely use her again.”

“Grace was great! Very responsive and flexible when our plans changed last minute. Our pets were well cared for and we’ll definitely use Grace again.”

“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 have extensive experience raising dogs in my home starting from my late high school years. My family has had three Cavalier King Charles Spaniels 🐶 that I’ve helped raise and care for, for almost 5 years now! This includes potty training, feeding, grooming, walking, administering medicine, and many other care tasks. This includes pets with long-lasting illnesses. Additionally, I have helped with cats as well, feeding, administering medicine, cleaning litter boxes, and checking in. Whatever you need, I can certainly help with! I am a college student entering my senior year, and I spend my summers in Massachusetts. I am available night and day to help you and your pet feel safe and comfortable! With pets of my own, I have lots of experience under my belt. I understand that last-minute emergencies can occur and that you may need a pet-sitter on short notice. I am here for you if that is to happen! I am also able to help with recurring/routine care. Whatever you need, I can help with! Because I have pets in my own home, I will mostly be working in clients’ homes. I am a clean and respectful house guest, and I will do whatever I can to make your pet feel safe and loved with a stranger.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since before I can remember. Experienced in dog sitting, walking, calming down and grooming, with a wide range of dog types, and ages. I have a very bubbly personality, and I enjoy staying active. I’m currently working part-time one to two days a week so I have a very open schedule to take dogs on daily walks or sit when they need be. I’ve cared for pets in many different ways from walking to sitting to giving medication and providing comfort when anxious or scared. My dog in particular does not do well around loud noises so needs to be comforted during those times and cared for carefully.

“Ashley was awesome! Our senior beagle had some recent medications that needed to be given when we were away. Ashley was at ease with our dog, including the new medications he had to take. The house was spotless when we returned & our dog was happy! I highly recommend Ashley!”

“Meghan was wonderful. I connected with her in short notice and she went out of her way to make my elder queen feel cared for and even completed an extra favor for me. Very professional and she takes super cute pics and sends them while u travel.”

About: I went to Norfolk aggie for highschool, while i was there i’ve taking dog classes such as, grooming, training. I’ve taken veterinary classes, farm classes. I am currently a dog grooming for work. My family has also dog boarding and walking on rover for 10 years! i’m currently a dog groomer, my days off are wednesdays and thurdays. I can dog walk before and after work depends on the day! I will follow your instructions with your pet, send lots a pictures and videos. I will spend one on one time with them as if they were my own!

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.

“Nicole was great! She met beforehand to ensure everything would go smooth and took great care of our dog. Highly recommend!”

About: Something I think sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working at a doggy-daycare. That environment and the chaos that comes along with it has prepared me to take care of any dog of any size. Likewise, last summer I spent approximately 2 months unofficially training and dog-sitting a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, so I have experience in taking care of younger dogs as well. I also have a bulldog at home, so I have a deep understanding in what it takes to take care of dogs of that nature. Starting Mid-May I will be interning, so depending on my hours I may be more avaiable in the afternoon or mornings. However, that means I have every Sunday free and would be able to pop-in and out frequently. We have an electric fence for my dog, but she does not wear her collar (classic bulldog) so we make sure she is supervised at all times. I will not let any dogs play unsupervised and would only bring them on agreed upon areas to walk, or anything else owners permit.

“Amelia was great! Quick response and updates daily. Will look to book her again in the future.”

“Colleen did a wonderful job watching our dog for a week while we were out of town. She left our home extremely clean and was very communicative with updates and photos. We’d recommend her for anyone looking for pet care and house sitting!”

“Olivia was great and accommodated a very last minute request while still stopping by ahead of the weekend to meet me, Gus and Hazel. She stayed at the house with my dogs Gus and Hazel and did a great job handling them and communicating with me the entire weekend. I would recommend Olivia and would ask her to stay with Gus and Hazel again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 2 years, but they’ve always been a huge part of my life. As a proud pet parent myself, I know just how much love and attention our furry friends need to feel safe and happy. Whether it's going for fun walks, playtime in the yard, or just quiet cuddle time, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I truly love what I do, and it brings me so much joy to give pets the same care and comfort I’d want for my own. Pet care naturally fits right into my daily and weekly routine! I’m fully open on weekends, which makes it easy to dedicate my time to caring for pets. During the week, I’m a full-time college student, so I do have specific times I need to be in class—but before and after, I have long breaks that give me plenty of flexibility for check-ins, walks, and playtime. I love using those free hours to spend time with pets, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for while their families are busy! Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I keep pets in their familiar routines—feeding, walking, and playtime just the way they’re used to—so they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away or busy. At this time, I don’t plan on taking in any animals since I’m in college, so all of my care will be in the comfort of your pet’s own home.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Amanda! From the moment I reached out for pet sitting services, I felt an immediate sense of trust and reassurance. She took the time to ask all the right questions about my dogs ensuring that they would receive the best possible care while I was away. During the stay, Amanda provided regular updates and adorable photos that showed how much fun they were having. When I returned home, my dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly had a wonderful time. Amanda went above and beyond by ensuring my house was just as I left it. The attention to detail and the genuine love for dogs was evident in every interaction. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda to anyone in need of a compassionate and reliable dog sitter. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, look no further she is truly the best! I know I’ll be booking her again. Thank you, Amanda, for making both my dogs and I so happy!”

“Brooke housesat our dog and cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was an excellent communicator, sending lots of updates and photos throughout the stay. Our dog Bubbles and cat Mittens absolutely loved her, and she made them feel comfortable and cared for. Brooke is hands down the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had, and we highly recommend her services to anyone!”
