“I feel confident when I leave for work that my dog Gemma is in great hand with Karen, Karen is a great communicator, and responsive to request to care for you pet. I’m fortunate to have found her on Rover!”
“Alana was fantastic with my girl, Willow! She was communicative with photos/updates and followed the set of instructions I left for each visit. I can tell Willow loved her time with her new friend. Highly recommend using Alana’s drop-in services!”
About: When your pet stays with me, I want you and them to rest assured that they are part of the family. My goal is to keep your pets routine as close to normal as possible while you are away. I have been pet sitting on Rover for 9 years and have 10+ years experience before that. During that time I have done stays as short as an afternoon to staying at a house for 2 whole months! You can expect frequent updates with pictures while you are away and be able contact if you need anything. I have even done video calls with owners during longer stays! One of my favorite things to do is take dogs on a nice long stroll on nice days. There is a wonderful trail just behind my house that makes for a perfect nature walk. Of course, if your pet prefers to lounge around and play inside, I'm fine with that too! I put a lot of time, and energy into training my dog using positive reinforcement, patience, and treats (lots of treats). I still keep up with the latest methods on dog and cat behavior today. When I pet sit I put that same dedication and commitment towards whomever I am watching. Medication Experience: I am trained in Pet CPR and First Aid -experienced with administering pills and liquid medication -have given more advanced care but would like a run through with you prior to the stay My House and Neighborhood: I am a half mile away from the Kingston ferry, which is about a 2 minute drive from the time you get off to my house. I live on the 3rd floor of a condo building which provides a large grass yard to play in as well as 2 patios for any pet that enjoys some fresh air. There is a walking trail behind where I live and I am a 15 minute walk to the beach. My Pets: I have 2 cats that are both very friendly with other animals. They love to play with other kitties and tend to give dogs their space. My house is cat-ified with cat trees galore, window sills to peer out of, tunnels to hide in and scratch posts to well.. scratch. I work from home 3 days a week (Tues, Thur, Fri) and go into Seattle for work Mon and Wed. I leave the house at 8:15 and get home around 6:00pm. If your pet needs me to be home sooner I can be home as soon as 4:15pm. During the work from home days I will be able to take pets out on potty breaks, give meals, do short walks, and give some cuddles and play time. Keeping harmony and peace in my home is a top priority for me and I am always very aware of what all the critters are up to while I am home. In the event of your pet being uncomfortable I am able to provide them their own private room as well as put some pet gates up give the cats a place to escape to. Introductions and interactions with my pets will always be supervised until I know everyone is comfortable.
About: I have many years of experience caring for many different species in rescue environments, sanctuary environments, and pet sitting in an animals own home. I have worked with many different species :) I currently work as a veterinary assistant, but have previously managed a farm animal sanctuary, worked in a cat rescue, and used to do pet care on the wag app! I absolutely love animals and I’m currently pre-vet student taking my pre requisites. I have quite a bit of experience with reactive dogs, animals with chronic illness, dogs with separation anxiety and mobility challenges. I am comfortable with medication administration including injections and subcutaneous fluids, I have multiple years experience in both human and animal medicine/care taking. I have a keen eye for noticing behavioral or physical changes in animals. My own dog passed in April of 2024, and had severe arthritis, separation/general anxiety, wobblers disease, dog reactivity, IBD, hypothyroidism, and chronic UTIS. That said, I am well versed in animal care both behavioral and medical and have a passion for giving the absolute best care to our furry, feathered or scaley companions! I only use positive reinforcement for. training. I love going on hikes and would be happy to take your dog (or goat, who knows!) on a fun adventure to get their wiggles out. I do have three cat of my own, and live in a converted school bus which is 300 square feet and can be tight quarters! We live on a huge property and spend quite a bit of time outside though. I do foster dogs, and will update my bio as the status of that changes! I am currently not fostering any dogs. My only request is that I’m made aware well in advance of any behavioral or medical concerns, and that my clients are receptive to any changes I notice! :) I just finished my job as a veterinary assistant of 2 years in a specialty hospital and now have quite a bit more time for petsitting! I recently moved to Olympia and I have Sunday-Saturday available as I am currently working on building a business. I have hopes of starting to do some drop in visits, dog walking and pet sitting. I live in a small space with my kitties but I can board cat friendly dogs. I have a lot of experience working with reactive dogs, door-dashing kitties and high anxiety animals from both species. I live in a small space, a converted skoolie which is well built and does have AC but it is small and I do have cats. Any dog I watch in my own home must be very comfortable with cats. I do prefer to petsit in someone’s home rather than my own, as I believe this will help animals with high stress while their humans are away. However, I know this isn’t always feasible and can work with you around this if possible.
“Chantelle was so kind and attentive. She was attentive to my cat, Chiari, provided updates, and played with her. I’m so grateful for her help and care. Definitely would recommend booking with her!”
About: Hi there! I have a life of experience with dogs, cats and rodents of all shapes and sizes, as well as a variety of livestock and am excited to help you care for yours! 🐕🦎🐈🐠🐖🐇🦆🫏 Whatever furry (or scaly, slimy or swimming) creatures you may have will be loved as if they are my own. I do ask that reactivity or disabilities/health issues are disclosed upon booking request! I am happy to make accommodations — the more information I am given initially makes connecting go smoother! Let me know how I can help you and your family! 🫶🏻 Making sure that your pet gets the love they need and adheres to their routines is of top priority! We will work together to find the times that work best to meet everyone’s needs. I choose to care for your pets in their space, which I finds allows for them to be more comfortable with a strange person. I am more than happy to take them on outings, such as to the beach or a forest trail, but only after we (you, your pet, and I) establish trust! My goal is to not disturb your pet’s schedule, so we will often stick to their typical routines unless otherwise requested!
“Mary Elizabeth is always wonderful to have as a sitter. She is communicative and so knowledgeable with our boys. She helped our elderly dog eat more, which he has been needing to do, and helped keep it cool in our house during a heat wave. She clearly cares about all the animals she is in charge of, and it’s great to always know our boys are in good hands.”
About: I have a special love for dogs and walking! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to take care of their pets. I currently work full time. I am available after 4pm M-F and all day on weekends. I’d love to take your pets out on busy evenings or weekends! I offer pet watching at other clients homes. My current roommate has a dog and for safety and comfort I’d like your pet in their own home and environment.
About: I have two boys of my own, and I’ve had both of them since they were puppies. My youngest is 7 and my oldest is 13, so I have over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs through different stages of their lives. I potty trained both of them and learned how important patience, consistency, and understanding are when raising a dog. What makes my experience unique is that I’ve learned to understand dogs beyond just their basic needs. Every dog has a different personality and their own way of communicating, and I take the time to understand what makes each one comfortable, happy, and feel cared for. I know dogs are an important part of your family, just like mine are to me. So allow me to be of service and help you and your family whenever you need it. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, attention, and care that I give my own. My part-time job gives me a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m available for mornings, afternoons, and even evenings. I can work around your schedule and do my best to be there whenever you and your pup need me! In my household, pets are forever the babies of the family, no matter how old they are, how slowly they walk, or how big they may be. I care for every pet in a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, whether they’re in my home or yours. I follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean space. I’m happy to follow any special instructions or care needs so your pet feels relaxed and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have dog sat for a handful of people over the years. Some new clients and some faithful returning ones that become family friends. Some have needed medication and lots of walks, some just needed a friend, I love doing anything/everything. I do not currently own any pets and would love to be outside and more active. I would be available to do walks/drop ins around 3:30pm-9pm Monday-Thursday and most times Fridays-Sundays. Dog sitting availability depends on needs and pet schedule but please reach out about anything! I have worked with crates, dog doors, or dogs being inside all day and need walks/potty breaks. I hope we can work something out between us and your loved fur baby.
“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”

“Left somewhat hastily and needed a sitter for my corgi. Craig stepped right up. My corgi loves hanging out with him and having a friend around when im out of town. Even left snacks in my fridge when i got back! 10/10 would def recommend and use again.”
About: While I don’t have extensive professional experience caring for other people’s pets, I have been around animals my entire life. My family has always had either a cat or a dog, which has given me experience with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets and understanding their needs. I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, from mornings through evenings. Since I am not working at the moment, I have a flexible schedule and am available for house sitting or dog walking for extended periods as needed. While I do not currently have any pets of my own, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for every client’s pet. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while they are with me.
About: BIPOC REQUESTZ ONLY I have loved and spent time with Frend Dogz & Katz from early age. I grew up with a Frend Dog from when they was a puppy until they passed away at sixteen years old. I’ve also loved playing with my friend’s Frend Dogz & Katz. I pay attention to their personality and really try to understand what they may be needing/wanting at that time. I am currently a student taking online classes, so my hours are really flexible. I am also available for house sitting on weekends. Reach out to me for any questions/concerns! I live with my family who has four cats, so I would not be able to dog sit here. However, cat-sitting can be an option. Contact me for more info on this if interested.
About: *DISCLAIMER: THE RESPONSE TIME AND NEW CLIENT BOOKING STATS ASSOCIATED TO MY ACCOUNT ARE NOT ACCURATE. THEY DISPLAY MY MISUNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO PAUSE MY ACCOUNT WHEN TRAVELING. THANK YOU!* I have trained several puppies, mine and my friends! I have had 4 personal doggies and have cared for numerous dogs who have belonged to family and friends! I love dogs and I love to be active so it’s a perfect match! I am involved in Real Estate, which I can do remotely most of the time.

I am highly vigilant and responsible, I take pride in keeping your home and pets safe and sound! I keep your pets on their natural feeding, playing, potty, and sleeping schedules while you are away! I am always easy to communicate with and care greatly about keeping pet owners in the know!
About: Anytime I watch an animal I do my best to keep them in there normal routine. This is especially important with young and senior animals. I have a senior pup and while he’s flexible with me, I understand the stress it can cause animals to be away from there family and out of the daily routine. I work full time caring for aquatic animals and when I come home I care for the furry kind! I have been house and dog/cat sitting for many years for co workers, friends, and my volunteers who I work with. I have always loved animals and care for yours like they are my own. I walk my dog first thing when I get home to get us both out of the house and enjoy exploring the outdoors. I have an unfenced yard but the animals never go out in supervised. I have 20ft leashes that easily reach the grass and farther for those who tend to wander.
“Dawn came to our rescue for a second time recently, when we needed a last-minute walk and feeding. Our boy was happy and in great spirits when we came home, and Dawn updated us with many photos so we knew he was well taken care of :)”

Ashley was so fantastic with my pup! She was enthusiastic and knew how to care for a dog with anxiety. I most appreciated the willingness to follow my instructions well, and she really eased my mind around ensuring my dog took her time-sensitive meds correctly while I was away. 10/10 sitter services, highly recommend! Thanks Ashley!!

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 $15 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 11,601 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
