“Kacey is the absolute best! Our puppy loves her and she's removed all the stress from our days away from home! Very responsive and responsible, we're very lucky to have found her to visit our home and care for our pup!”
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and have always loved to bond with animals. I also have a reactive dog so I have lots of experience handling dogs that need more specialized treatment. I’m currently working from home so it opens up my schedule more to help any animals who need a walk, a visit, or anything else! I would to come to your home where your pet is comfortable and provide the care they need. It’s important for them to connect with me in an environment that’s positive.
“Laianna is truly such a find! She is professional, patient, kind and very thorough! I COULD NOT RECOMMEND HER MORE! Our dog can be scared of new people, but Laianna took her time, and they became fast friends!”
About: Dogs have always been cherished members of my family for my whole life. I grew up caring for our family pups (Sammy, River, Indy, Sirius, and the newest addition, Loki!) from their puppyhood through their senior golden years. When I was 12, I began caring for the dogs and cats in my neighborhood. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and sizes (I grew up with border collie/lab mixes, a great dane/pit/lab mix, and an aussie shepherd), and have extensive experience caring for more than one dog (or cat!) at a time. Since then, I have cared for dogs and cats across the Hudson Valley and NYC. Since I have no pets of my own because of my apartment size, I will treat yours as if they were my own and they will get all the care and attention they need while you are away. I also offer pet portraits and would be happy to talk with you about that further if you're interested. Every moment I get to spend with an animal is so special to me and I would be so grateful for the opportunity to share that love with you and your pup. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, I would be happy to discuss it all with you! I am currently working as a freelance artist/photographer. I make my own schedule and so I am flexible to meet you and your pup’s needs. I am committed to creating an environment in your home that is safe, secure, and fun for your pup all day long! I am detail-oriented so I keep the place tidy and comfortable. Because every dog is different and you know your dog best, I follow your instructions carefully and guarantee open, prompt communication with you. I am very comfortable crating your dog if you need and happy caring for more than one. I know it can be hard to leave your pet in the care of someone else (Ive been there!) and so Im committed to making sure you feel comfortable and confident by building trust between you, your pup, and me…we got this!
“Victoria was incredibly reliable, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our dog was always excited to see her, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and I’ve loved each of them tremendously. At the moment I have two beautiful rescue dogs! I have my own dog who is my best friend, and a part of my family. I believe all dogs become a part of our families. I will take care of your dog like I would take of my own and treat them like family. I work within a school district, so right now my schedule is pretty free. I have a summer job that I work one night a week. I live with my parents in a beautiful home with a big yard. We have dog leads to tie up the dogs when they want to play outside. We also have a fenced in deck for them so they can be outside but not have to be tied up. I have two dogs and they love to play with each other, they are both full of so much energy.
About: I've had dogs of all ages all my life and think they are the 👌 👍 😍 🥰. I've boarded very senor dogs as well as young furry critters I'm a retired teacher so that I'm able to be free much of the time. I'm also a working artist and my studio is in my home. I have a bright house with a good sized fenced-in back yard. My home is near parks and conveniently located. The neighborhood is super-quiet with doggy friendly folk.
“Savannah was so amazing with our cat Tami She is truly a special cat lover and caretaker We came home to a calm and happy kitty! We enthusiastically recommend her!!!”
About: As a social worker, I'm highly attuned to both human and animal needs/issues, and love getting to know and cater to unique personalities - or provide loving care for those who are ill or have special needs. I started taking care of neighbors' pets at an early age and though we only had fish and birds and a cat at home, dogs and other animals became a special love of mine. I have been cat, dog, bird and other little furry friend sitting for over four decades and have done so for several years as a 5 star sitter on Trusted Housesitters. I love making new furry friends, both for sharing my positive, attentive energy with them, and for nourishing in the innocent sweet playfulness they often offer. The mutual benefits of animal care are no joke! As an avid traveler and travel writer (we social workers need periodic breaks from our big jobs), pet sitting has been a fabulous win-win-for-all! I love immersing in local scenes, and enjoy getting to know the nature, infrastructure, and pulse of new places. Perhaps most importantly, I love hunkering down for writing (I am a published writer in addition to being a social worker) with the delightful energy of furry friends beside me. They seem to like it too! I grew up in a small city, have lived in a major city for over two decades and LOVE being in more rural and remote areas too. You can count on me to bring my strong sense of professionalism and responsibility to your pets and to your home. I’ve often been told that other than happy pets, there was no sign I had even been there! I am currently freelancing/focusing my time on writing projects so I often have a flexible schedule....and love taking work breaks with furry friends! A veteran 5-start pet-sitter, I am new to Rover and am figuring out how the calendar and geography works so it can reflect where I am and when I'm available. Most folks comment that they can barely tell I've been there. Cleanliness, respect, and loving care are my hallmarks. I make sure to honor any requests and instructions for people's homes, which often have quirks and special needs -- and to of course respect privacy too, just as I would as a social worker. As for furry friends, they get exceptional, reliable, patient, playful, caring energy from me while I make sure that all their food, litter, or other needs are met.
About: I’m a responsible college student who loves animals and has experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like my own. This summer, I’m taking a few online classes and will also be working part-time, but I make time in my schedule to provide reliable pet care. Most weekdays work well for me, and I can often make weekends work with enough notice. I’m committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, and care they need while keeping owners updated and giving pets a safe, comfortable experience. I know every pet has different needs and routines, and I always work to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their home environment. I carefully follow owner instructions, maintain feeding schedules, provide exercise and playtime, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention and care. Whether energetic or shy, I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and responsibility.
“Shelby came through to help us with our dogs last minute and did an excellent job. The dogs got better walks with her than they're used to! So sweet and communicative and prompt. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Barbara was incredibly communicative and accommodating, even with our last-minute request for sitting for our two cats. She took wonderful care of our cats and even shoveled after it snowed! She also picked up litter from the store for us because we were running low. She really went the extra mile and we’ll be requesting her again!”
“Jessica was great— will definitely contact her again next time I need to go out of town. She was very good at communicating and sending photo updates. The house and the cats were in good order upon our return. Bravo!”
“Elizabeth is a perfect communicator and made me feel my cat was in great hands the week I was away. I could tell from her reports that she really understood and appreciated my cat, and that they had a really nice time together. I give Elizabeth my highest recommendation, and will definitely be reaching back out to her when I'm next out of town!”
About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.
About: I used to be a veterinary assistant-Which gave me valuable exposure to animal handling, basic health procedures, and staying calm in stressful situations. I am now a full time student furthering my career. I have served clients across Ulster and Delaware county. I’m comfortable, reliable, and dedicated to giving every animal the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I genuinely enjoy meeting and caring for all types of animals, and I look forward to caring for yours! (: I’m currently in school- looking to graduate very soon. My availability is pretty flexible and I will be more than willing to work around my schedule to fit your fur babies needs. I feed them, clean up after them, give them medication if needed, bathe them, walk them as often as needed. If your animal is on a schedule of any kind, it will be cared for accordingly.
“Catherine did an amazing job of looking after our two cats over the holiday week! She checked in daily with photos of our babies, along with written updates from each visit. Our home looked clean and homey upon our return, and Catherine even did a couple extra things with turning on lights and taking out the garbage the evening before we got back. I’ll definitely book her again next time we travel.”
“Victoria, was great and really helped me right away while I was in a jam, where I could not walk my dog. My dog is young and very exuberant, but Victoria was able to handle him extremely well.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Kingston is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
Incredible rovers and people! Amanda and her husband went above and beyond with our puppy Rory. Couldn't have asked for a better duo to take care of her - meeting her beforehand, giving her love and attention, endless photos, cuddles and happiness. Ten out of ten recommendation for anyone in the Woodstock / Kingston area.
Katherine has sat for and watched Otis on several occasions; she is responsive, easy to communicate with, friendly, warm hearted, gentle with Otis and has a sensitive nature which has made me extremely comfortable and confident. When timing changes have been needed she is always receptive and if there are any time challenges it has been very easy to work through them so all parties are happy. Otis has become found of Katherine and we will continue to work with Katherine and I recommend her wholeheartedly.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kingston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Kingston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
