“Christina was great! She was super responsive, sent regular updates, and has an awesome indoor and outdoor setup for dogs. She followed all care instructions and clearly loves and takes great care of dogs. Would definitely book with her again! 🐾”
“Sharon was yet again very flexible & accomodating! Flights were cancelled & she said she would watch my cat for as long as needed. She’s someone you can depend on :-)”
“I adopted Bella in September 2020 during the pandemic. We have never been apart until this past weekend. I was so nervous about leaving her. After the Meet and Greet with Rebecca and Justin I felt like Bella was going to have fun and be well cared for. Bella was treated like part of the family and she came home exhausted from running and playing with their dogs London and Major. I highly recommend them and Bella and I will be visiting again soon!”
“Yunshu is one of the best dog sitters I have ever used. Her and her family are so sweet. They took such good care of our two dogs for the weekend making sure they were well exercised, ate on time, and gots lots of cuddles. She was extremely communicative and I couldn’t keep up with all the videos and texts she sent me. I would highly recommend her!”
“Steven was great, taking on a last minute reservation for my dog when my friend who was going to stay with her fell and hurt herself. It was reassuring to me that Brooke was with a nice and caring family while I was away. I will definitely contact Steven again!”
“Kimberly did a wonderful job with our 9 month old puppy! We were so happy to leave him where he was well-loved, got lots of play time and would be HAPPY. She is a true doggie-lover who will make sure your pup is safe and having fun while you are away!”
“Ashley was great! She was quick to respond to our request for her services. Our dog Tessa stayed with her for 4 nights and seemed very content there. We received many updates with pictures throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. I would definitely use her services again!”
“Leanne did such a great job with our girls! I received tons of pictures and daily updates. I could tell they were super comfortable and well taken care of! We will definitely book again in the future!”
““Absolutely stellar experience. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for dogs shone through. The booking process was seamless, and I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their care. The updates and photos they provided throughout my dog’s stay were not only reassuring but truly heartwarming. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to ensure every pup feels safe, loved, and entertained. I returned to a happy, well-exercised dog who clearly had a blast during their stay. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pet. They’ve earned a loyal customer for life!””
About: We share a deep love for animals and welcome them into our hearts. Dirk has spent his entire life surrounded by dogs and cats. Growing up, he was a vet tech, and his mother, a retired veterinarian, raised over 15 animals. Mari grew up with a sweet Yorkie. Thanks to our backgrounds, we have extensive experience with pets. To us, pets are more than just animals—they are our children. Having recently said goodbye to our own beloved cat and our dear dog (a Husky/Pitbull mix), we know exactly how precious your furry babies are to you. We are currently experiencing an empty nest and missing that daily companionship so much, which means your pets will receive our absolute full attention, love, and cuddles. We will always treat your furry family members with the exact same love and respect that we show our own. We would love the opportunity to care for your pets, meet your needs, and share our love. Please let us know if you are interested, as we would absolutely love to help! Our family is ready to welcome your pet! Dirk is a student at the Naval War College with a very flexible schedule, while Mari is a stay-at-home mom from Japan who has plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs. Because we both love animals, pet care will be a true team effort—our high school son is also ready to pitch in and help! We love to provide plenty of affection, but we are also happy to engage in active, rough-and-tumble play if your dog prefers a more high-energy routine. Our home is located in a newly developed, quiet neighborhood with a fully enclosed, decent-sized backyard. Since we currently have no pets or small children, our place can serve as a peaceful sanctuary for older or sensitive dogs who prefer a calm, stress-free environment. At the same time, our spacious yard is perfect for high-energy dogs who love to run and play. We also have access to great nearby walking areas for pets who love to get out and explore. Whether your dog prefers lounging inside or staying active all day, our family can easily adapt to their unique personality, activity level, and daily routine.
“Christine is awesome!!! She sent me updates on and picture of my pooch. My girl seemed to be enjoying herself so much that I wasn't sure she would want to come home. It really gave me peace of mind to know that she was being well cared for. Thank you, Christine.”
“Wendy was easy to work with and very responsive. She took care of our dog Atticus like he was her own. Atticus seemed very comfortable with her right away. She was very flexible with pick ups and drop offs. I would recommend her to anyone in the area! We would definitely use her services again.”
“Celina took good care of Ollie. When we picked her up she was happy to see us but was in no hurry to leave Celena. We will consider Celena next time we need a dog sitter”
“Jean is an absolutely incredible sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is loved, cared for and feels safe during their stay. We can always tell after each visit how much sugar has loved her stay with Jean, and there are many video and photo updates to take the stress away.”
“Michelle was wonderful with our dog. So warm and caring, You can see that she is an authentic dedicated dog lover. We felt so comfortable having Archie stay in her care and will definitely rebook. Thank you Michelle!”
“THE BEST...... Kyleigh is by far the most attentive pet friend that our dog "Ollie" has ever had the pleasure of being with. We received photos and videos everyday while we were away. So spoiled he was with treats, playtime, and snuggles, that I wasn't sure he would want to come home 😊. If you want the best in care for your family pet, we found it with Kyleigh. Thank you so much!”
“Lessy loves you and your family❤️ Thank you very much for taking such a good care of my Lessy❤️She enjoyed her visit as always. Thank you Madison and Joseph!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
Jordan is very sweet and communicative. She has a great, calm energy and we knew immediately she would take great care of our dog. We really appreciated her updates about how he was doing and the funny pictures she sent of him getting on with the other dogs. Jordan even accepted us at the last minute when our previous boarder fell through. House is easy to find and in a good neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!
10/10!! This was our first time leaving our dog overnight with someone other than family and by the end of our trip, Karen and Chris felt like family! We are so grateful for finding them through Rover. We looked forward to every message/update Karen sent (many times a day), simply the best! It was nice to get away for a couple nights and know our four-legged child was in great care. Thank you!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Kingston is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 719 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kingston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 RI 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.
