“We had Katie stay with our dog Zeke when we were away. We enjoyed meeting her and it was obvious to us that she loves and cares for the animals she sees. Katie was very communicative and responsive when we had questions before, during and after her stay. She sent many pictures that gave us peace of mind that our pup was happy. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: I’ve had two of my own dogs throughout most of my life and two cats my entire life. I’ve recently dog sat for two amazing yellow labs for a whole week. I’ve also pet sat for my neighbors dogs on multiple occasions as well. I am a full time college student who has classes all day Tuesdays and Thursdays but am free during evenings and Monday Wednesday Fridays as well as most weekends. I currently have two cats I feed twice a day but when I had dogs I would walk them in the mornings before school, when I got home from school, as well as before I went to bed.
About: I have assisted in taking care of dogs, cats, goats, and chickens. My primary experience is in caring for cats and dogs. Both my own, and those of my friends. I am new to the area, and am currently looking for work, so as of now, my schedule is very flexible and open. I expect to continue to fit Rover into my daily schedule once I am able to get a work schedule. In my client’s home I will adhere to instructions directed both towards the house and pet. I always have open communication with the owner, and can give updates whenever requested. I am an active person, and thoroughly enjoy walking, and even running with dogs.

About: I may be new to professional pet sitting, but caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. As a certified yoga instructor, I’m patient, calm, dependable, and attentive to the needs of both people and animals. I also help care for my 92-year-old mother, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for pets belonging to friends and family and understand that every animal has its own personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior needing extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, so you can travel with peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m used to creating a calm, consistent routine with feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, and keeping pets comfortable in their own home. As a yoga instructor, I value patience, mindfulness, and being present, which carries over into the care I provide for pets. I believe pets feel most secure when they can stay in their own familiar environment and keep their normal routines. When caring for pets in their home, I will provide a safe, calm, and loving presence while respecting your home and your pet’s needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain feeding and medication schedules, provide companionship and playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved.
“Michelle did a wonderful job with our two dogs. They can be a handful but she did great. She was also very good at keeping us informed with pictures and updates as needed.”

About: I have been a lifelong animal lover, growing up with both dogs and cats and continuing to adopt and care for them throughout my adult life. Caring for animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my home. I have experience with daily routines, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing consistent companionship. I also had a beloved lovebird growing up, which gave me experience tending to smaller pets with gentleness and attention. What sets me apart is my patience, kindness, and genuine heart for animals. While I do not have formal training experience, I am consistent, attentive, and willing to reinforce basic training practices with calm encouragement. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with safety, affection, and respect at the center of their care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available most weekdays, especially during school hours, which allows me to provide dependable daytime walks, check-ins, feedings, and companionship. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. In a client’s home, I maintain their regular schedule for feedings, walks, playtime, and any special care, while keeping the home tidy and respected. If in a client's home, I am willing to water plants, bring in mail, and assist with regular maintenance care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe space with close supervision, consistency, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to help pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Kyleigh is wonderful. She sent regular pics of the dogs - who loved her. I have an extremely clingy labradoodle who found a willing cuddle buddy in Kyleigh. Very trustworthy and communicative - I felt very comfortable having her in my house. Thank you Kyleigh!”

“Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She was in communication with us every day with photo updates on our animals and so kind and responsive. I would recommend Sophia to anyone and we are so grateful to have found someone locally that we feel comfortable staying in our home with our animals. Such a wonderful experience that put our minds at ease”

“Tori was amazing! We hired her to stay with our sweet Australian Labradoodle, Birdie, while we were away for five days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, our home was spotless, and Birdie was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter, and we'll absolutely be using her again!”

About: I personally have had many pets myself, from dogs and cats to bunnies and lizards!

I am dedicated to following care guidelines and providing owners with the best possible care for their pets!

About: Growing up I have always had at least one pet in my home. We have mainly had dogs however in the past I’ve had dogs, a tortoise, and a bunny.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
We were so pleased to have Hayley take care of our Australian Shepherd, Sydney, during our recent 21 day overseas trip. She gave him all the love and attention that we could ask for - he has been well cared for… we think he misses her now that she’s gone! She communicated with us regularly, and sent many pictures, which eased any pangs of longing for our sweet dog while we were visiting family. When we returned, our home was in perfect order, and even supplied with a few essentials to make it easy to settle in, what a nice touch. We would highly recommend Hayley for any pet sitting, short or long term, and we look forward to working with her in the future.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
