“Paloma was available on short notice for an evening drop-in visit and even called ahead to ensure proper care instructions were followed. She was punctual and responsive while taking care of our senior dog and young puppy, even checking on our cats as well. She left the house in order and the pets happy. We will definitely book again!”
“Tallon did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away! I will call her again when we need a sitter! She sent pics and let me know each time she visited. Thank you Tallyn!”
“Being away for two weeks was made so much better knowing Michelle was there to spend time with our Cooper. Seeing him look so happy every day made our vacation even more enjoyable”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m attentive, patient, and adaptable to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, or simply companionship and cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel happy and comfortable. My patience and calm approach are especially helpful when caring for puppies who are still learning routines and senior dogs who may need extra support, gentleness, and attention. I work full-time during the week, which allows me to offer pet care services after 5 PM Monday through Thursday, along with open availability on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and happy to accommodate special requests, including extended stays and flexible care arrangements whenever possible. I always prioritize safety and comfort while caring for animals. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I supervise pets during walks, playtime, meals, and outdoor time. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where pets can feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Emily was GREAT! She did a couple of check-ins/bathroom breaks with my senior dog, Lola, while I was away for the day. Her communication was great both before & during the visits & Lola was so well taken care of. I will definitely be reaching back out to Emily the next time I need pet care!”
About: I never complain and will always get the job done. Most of the time I do more than what is asked. I'm also flexible with anything! I am a student but have an open schedule. If something doesn't work we can figure out what to do and work around the issue. I've grown up watching pets, kids, and houses. I am very good with cleaning up and watching things. If something needs to be done just let me know!
“Julia was great! She showed up on time, followed my instructions, and sent adorable pictures. She also recognized when my puppy didn’t want to play and would rather go for a walk. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I can’t say enough positive things about Hayley. She is amazing. She took such excellent care of our kitties. Her communication with us was excellent, we felt so secure having her care for our pets. I can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I love working with animals because I can advocate for them as they don’t speak the same language as us. I graduated with a degree in Animal Science and currently work as a veterinary assistant, so I bring both knowledge and hands-on experience to every pet I care for. I’m trained to notice when something may be off whether it’s changes in behavior, appetite, or physical signs and I’m comfortable doing basic checks like gentle palpation. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priority, and I treat every animal like my own. I am available for full-weekend care and Weekday evening visits. Because I work a standard 9–5 schedule during the week, I dedicate my Saturdays and Sundays and weekday evenings to giving your pets my undivided attention! Feel free to reach out though, I can be flexible :) My top priority is providing care that respects both your home and your pet’s established routine. I strictly follow all owner instructions to ensure boundaries are never crossed, as I want both you and your pets to feel completely comfortable and at ease.
“Georgia saved us when we needed a last minute sitter after our previously booked sitter cancelled morning of. She was quick to respond and was able to get to our house with only 1.5 hours notice. It seemed like our puppy had a good time with her and was well cared for during the hour drop in. Definitely will book again!”
“Natalie did a fantastic job. I had never worked with a pet sitter before but I felt completely comfortable with her taking care of my two cats. She sent detailed notes about each check in and lots of photos. Seriously gave me such peace of mind!”
About: I love pets and house keeping and would love to help you with yours! I take pride in offering thorough care to put you at ease when you go away. I look forward to working for you and your pets! I work a part time job that is extremely flexible and allows me to work from home, meaning I can look after your pets in the exact way you want! I can spend as little or as much time as you want with them! I want your pets to feel like they are on vacay with me! I keep to them on their same routine while also giving them a little extra care since you are away. That way they won't be too sad while you are gone.
“Emily looked after our two fur babies for a week while we were out of state. I was initially worried about how they would cope with us being away for an extended period but Emily made sure to ask about their habits to best understand their routines. While we were away, Emily kept me fully up to date and also sent over lots of great photos. Emily worked her magic to win them over and by the end of the week they were in love. Emily is a fantastic cat sitter who kept them well fed and entertained while easing my guilt for leaving them. I returned home to two content cats and their litter box was clean and tidy. I definitely recommend Emily’s services, she's a true cat whisperer.”
“Erin speaks dog! It took no time for her to win approval from my shy pup. She is also a good communicator with humans. Erin is punctual and respectful, plus she is great at remembering my dog’s needs.”
About: Took a little time off to Travel Nurse but I’m back!! ☺️ I’m a dog mom and a Nurse of 13years. Dog mom to a very friendly snorkie named Gronk (Go Pats! lol) I’ve had him for 10 years, & a 2 year old Pomsky named Skyler who is the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen, with bright blue eyes 🩵 We spend a lot of time outside (when the weather permits) it’s a short walk to the beach from my house & I also have a fully fenced in back yard! I do outside Potty breaks every 2-4 hours, which can be adjusted according to your fur baby’s needs. I can keep any feeding schedule you already have in place.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingston
Jordan was great with my cats, even though one of them was too shy most of the time to come out. My other cat got a lot of attention and enjoyed playing with Jordan. Jordan is reliable, communicates well, and it's apparent that she loves caring for all kinds of pets. I would have Jordan come back anytime!
We were happy to meet Matt today. He spent lots of time time playing with Lola, asked great questions about her care, and listened to all of my concerns. Our pup can run anxious and he made her feel at ease. We are looking forward to having him back for sure.
Paloma was available on short notice for an evening drop-in visit and even called ahead to ensure proper care instructions were followed. She was punctual and responsive while taking care of our senior dog and young puppy, even checking on our cats as well. She left the house in order and the pets happy. We will definitely book again!
Hannah helped us out agreeing to a drop-in visit on short notice. She did a great job tending to our 10 ½ yr. old chocolate lab, fed him, gave him his medications, walked and played with him and sent photos during her visit. We were pleased and appreciative of her help and would definitely recommend her services.
Trusting Jewel with our animals and our home was easy from the very beginning. She was so kind, dependable, and easy to work with. She was incredibly compassionate and patient with our aging dog, which meant so much to us. Jewel also went above and beyond in caring for our home. She even vacuumed, which was such a thoughtful extra and truly appreciated. Knowing she cared for our animals and our home as if they were her own gave us such peace of mind. I would highly recommend Jewel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable person to help with their animals and home. We are so thankful we found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kingston is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,939 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kingston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kingston. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
