“Sarah was amazing!! I cannot recommend her enough!! Our dog loved her and she kept us informed the whole time we were away. We will definitely be using Sarah again in the future!”
“Emma was an amazing sitter. Do not hesitate to use her. She stayed at our home and left it as she found it. Our animals were all happy with her care. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Candice did an amazing job taking care of Stu. Though he was happy when we came home, there was absolutely no sign that he was lonely. Its clear that Candice spent ample time making sure he was comfortable. Candice also left the home completely undisturbed. I will use her services again and highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been working with animals for 15 years, caring for dogs, cats, birds and can help with farm animals as well. I have handled breeds that are small to very large. I am very flexible with my schedule. I love to ensure they are getting their exercise as needed, as well as a well rounded diet. I am a stay at home mom so I am very happy to be with them however they require. We use leashes and harnesses for outside. We have a dog park close by that’s fenced in and safe for giving them running time and ability to play freely
“Allison was extremely communicative and helpful with our pups! She even looked after an eye problem and gave meds 3 times per day for us while we were gone. Would highly recommend!”
About: With 20 years of extensive pet care experience, I have cared for family and friends' pets from a young age. I've also rescued and cared for a variety of beloved pets over the years, which has given me a wealth of knowledge in pet care. I work remotely on weekdays with flexible work, so I am home during the day to provide hands-on care, engagement, and attention for your furry family member. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who can keep yours company if they enjoy other dogs. If not, I can provide a separate, comfortable space within the home for them. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether they stay in my home or I care for them in yours, I ensure they are in a secure and loving environment. Our typical day includes multiple play sessions in our fenced yard and exploring our acre of wooded property, providing endless mountain sights and smells to keep them entertained.
About: As a nursing student, I'm highly attentive, responsible and comfortable following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet needs medication, a strict routine, or just of attention and playtime, I'll make sure they are well cared for while you're away! I am currently a nursing student at LMU. As a nursing student, I keep a structured schedule and am very organized with my time. Spending time with animals is also a great way for me to unwind and recharge outside of school, so I am more than happy to help you while you're away! I strive to keep pets on their normal routine to make them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I am very detail oriented so I prioritize carefully follow feeding, walking, medication and care instructions provided by the owner. And if anything is ever unclear, I always communicate that to the owner! I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise (I love my daily walks!), playtime and affection, while also keeping their environment clean and safe.

About: I have definitely been able to take care of any kind of dog along with cleaning up after isn’t a problem for me, so if the dog is either too young or too old to be using the bathroom I can take care of that! I love dogs but I do have two cats and I take care of them daily, so I would love to help others not have to worry about their fur babies when they are at work, vacation and etc. I have a crate for dogs, and a fenced in area with a gate for bigger dogs! I also have a dog of my own to play with!
About: I’ve lived with animals most of my teenage and adult life. My family pet is a turtle who is about 13 years old now. I currently live with 2 dogs and 5 snakes! I have been a standby stable hand for 4 years now. I love animals and I would love to help you care for your furry friends! I work part time at Chick-fil-A on weekdays from 11-4 but I am off on Tuesdays most weeks. I could and would care for your furry friends before and after work if needed! I have dog sat before and I believe strongly in following the guidelines set by the owner. I think routine is important and I would do everything in my power to keep your furry friends routine! I could feed, train, and walk them however and whenever you want and need.
About: I’ve had a LOT of animals throughout my life to include fish, birds, dogs, chinchilla, guinea pigs, horses, goats and pigs. Ive been in the situation of needing a fur baby sitter while having to travel. I currently have 5 dogs and a cat. I’m in the process of creating a dog haven in my big back yard and have an air conditioned inside play/rest area for hot days. I work from home and have an open schedule. I travel some but I can usually adjust it when needed. Last minute requests for weekends are sometimes doable. I have five dogs so I do not stay overnight. I take my dogs on hikes almost daily, weather permitting. We also go shopping at pet friendly stores. I can do one on one visits or your pup can be part of the pack.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life! And I now have had lots of experience watching other people’s dogs as well! I can’t wait to take care of your pup! I have availability throughout the whole week currently. But that is subject to change. I like to spend my off days outside going for walks and enjoying the weather when it’s nice. I like to listen to the clients instructions because every household and every dog is different and has different needs so making sure I follow their rules is the most important thing.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kingston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 631 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kingston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
