“Lauren sent pictures and kept us posted on our pets well being. They all seemed very happy. She was flexible as we returned early but we made sure she was compensated for the entire booking.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! My experience includes dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and plenty of other furry, feathery, and scaly friends. I’m comfortable with animals of all different personalities and love getting to know what makes each pet feel safe, happy, and at home. I’m also an Eagle Scout, where I earned merit badges in Dog Care and other areas that taught me responsibility, preparedness, and how to care for others. I bring that same patience and attention to every pet I look after. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. I have the patience of an older sibling (lol), the responsibility of a Scout, and the enthusiasm of someone who will absolutely be excited to meet your pet. Whether your animal wants a long walk, a playmate, some quiet company, or just someone to make sure they’re safe and cared for, I’m happy to be that person! I’m currently a full-time student at William & Mary, so my availability is primarily in the mornings, evenings, and late nights, as well as throughout the weekends. I’ll work with you to find a schedule that fits both your pet’s routine and my class schedule, and I’m happy to plan ahead to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I like to follow your lead! Before a stay or visit, I’ll make sure I understand your pet’s feeding schedule, walks, medications, favorite activities, and any house rules. In your home, I’ll keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
About: And husband and I both have taken care of dogs since we were both teenagers. We love offering our dog, Koda, dogs to play with! I stay home so your dog will be getting lots of attention and will be well taken of. Just let us know their exact needs and schedule so we can accommodate! I stay home so I have plenty of time to take your pup on walks and give them plenty of attention and cuddles! I offer letting dogs out every 2 hours if needed! We have a dog park right by our building that I take all the dogs to so they can get their energy out and plenty of sidewalks for daily walks! Dogs can roam free in my home! Their comfort is important to me as well.
About: My family has had dogs forever, ranging from small medium and large so growing up with all kinds of dogs has given me experience in how to handle any situation with any dog! I’m currently a college student and away from my dog at home and am looking for any way to have more interactions with pets. Also, my most recent dog is now 2 years old and I did the majority of training, so if there are any needs or wants for training while I am sitting, I am more than capable. I’m currently a full time student and on the William & Mary Varsity Men’s soccer team, however, I have many breaks throughout my day. The only block of the day I’m usually completely unavailable is from 2-6PM When caring for pets in clients homes you can expect the utmost respect for the home but also a willingness to learn how you usually handle your dog at home. Whether that is using the crate and having some more strict guidelines, or if it is a more relaxed environment.
“Arianna was great with my puppies 😊. She walked the puppies every day and was very patient with my senior dog. She communicated with me often and responded quickly when I reached out to her. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely book her again ☺️.”
About: When I was very young I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats with my family .I want to give animals the best care. I have in the navy but my schedule is pretty flexible right now I usually get off after one everyday so I have a lot of times to watch your fur babies ! I currently don’t have any pets at the moment due to my military career but I would absolutely give the best care an attention they need .
About: One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand and respond to dogs’ body language. I pay close attention to their behavior and little signals so I can recognize when they’re comfortable, nervous, overwhelmed, or need some space. I have a special soft spot for nervous and anxious dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level. I’ve spent the past 6 years caring for my own dog, who can be nervous and easily startled, which has taught me a lot about patience, building trust, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. I never want a dog to feel pressured or ignored—I let them come to me at their own pace while giving them plenty of love, attention, and reassurance. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending lots of time with the pets in my care. I’m available for overnight house sitting and can provide plenty of companionship, attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and adjust my schedule to their individual needs. I especially enjoy house sitting because it allows me to stay with pets and give them consistent care and company while their owners are away. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. When house sitting, I keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m attentive to their needs, give them plenty of love and companionship, and pay close attention to their body language so I can recognize when they’re happy, nervous, or need some space. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep things clean, tidy, and secure while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone.
About: I have grown up around animals and am very knowledgeable on how to interpret animal behaviors and enjoy ensuring that your pet has the same standard of care and attention that you would expect of someone caring for your loved one. I currently am not working, so I have even more time to spend taking care of those special ones in your life. I will always make sure to treat your pet as if it were my own. I live in a spacious apartment with dog park and plenty of space for walks and I have a screened-in porch to allow animals to get fresh air regardless.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 10 years now. I own 3 dogs myself and take care of them everyday. I have also worked at an overnight boarding place for animals, volunteered at animal shelters, fed many pets, walked many dogs, and I hope to continue bettering animals. I am a part time student athlete located in Wilson NC, i am usually available on Thursdays and Tuesdays. Please send me a message if you are confused about my availability! I will make sure your pets have everything they need whether that’s attention, belly rubs, extra potty breaks, long walks, or even a cuddle buddy
“Anna was great! This was the first time she took care of Abby and she was wonderful. Took lots of pictures and kept us up to date the whole time. Would definitely use Anna again.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 12. I’ve worked on a farm caring for horses since I was a child. I’ve watched dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish for friends and neighbors. No animal is too small or large for me to love! I rescued my own dog three years ago and now have experience in R+ (positive reinforcement) training. I’d love to practice loose leash walking with your dog. I love taking my dog for long walks and hikes, if your dog likes company I’d love to take them together! I’m experienced in administering medicines, caring for puppies, and senior dogs. I work full time so I’m mostly available on weekends and weekday evenings. I have a car and can get myself anywhere in the Williamsburg area pretty easily. I’ll always do my best to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I understand dog’s body language, and am meticulous in making sure your pets needs are met.
“This is the second time Jenny has stayed at our house with our two pups and I once again, we came home to a clean house and two very happy well taken care of dogs. I love that she sends pictures and updates, it really helps an anxiety pup mom like myself to feel relaxed and enjoy myself while gone. Thank you again so much, Jenny!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. To me, every dog deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I’ll follow your care instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking habits. My goal is to treat your dog like a member of my own family, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands. Please note, we board on family at a time, we do not cage the dogs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, and my wife is home full-time. This means your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We have a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing affection and companionship, we’re committed to making every pet feel like part of the family while they’re in our care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any special needs or preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular potty breaks while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, pets stay in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they are supervised throughout the day. Since I work from home and my wife is home full-time, your pet will have lots of companionship and won’t be left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I provide reliable, attentive care, keep the space tidy, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Tracy is awesome! Our babies love having her stay with them! She loves on them and treats them the way we do. Thank you for being amazing and so helpful. Will definitely work with her again.”
“Leaving 4 dogs at home is always a bit stressful, but Meghan made the entire experience seamless. Our dogs warmed up to her super quickly, and she was so reliable with their daily routines and medications. The photo updates and check-ins every day gave us complete peace of mind. We came home to happy, relaxed pups. We will definitely rebook her next time we travel!”
“Briar genuinely loves dog and has shown a great deal of patience with my shy and sometimes skittish spaniel. She takes time to play with my dog and even gives her periodic car rides.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kingswood is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kingswood
We loved having Candice watch our dogs! She was very professional and super easy to communicate with. We loved the pictures she sent throughout her stay at our home. She was very affectionate to our dogs, and I am extremely pleased with her overall service and visit! We hope to use her services again in the future!
Derek took wonderful care of our two dogs and our cat while we were on vacation, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly took the time to make sure each of our pets was well cared for and comfortable. We highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again!
Absolutely wonderful sitter!! April stayed in our home for a couple weeks with our two Shih Tzus. She sent daily updates with photos, handled their face and eye grooming (not easy for their breed!), was enthusiastic and communicative, and left our home clean and tidy. We really couldn’t have asked for more. We took a chance as she didn’t have reviews but I’m so glad we did. She did a fantastic job and I would definitely book her again. Thanks, April!!
Darcy H. did a wonderful job with our cat during a holiday house sitting. She did so while respecting the house and with great consideration; she was neat, tidy, and clean. The cat food cans were rinsed out and put in the recycle bin, the plates were rinsed off and put in the dishwasher. We loved that she took the effort to ensure we didn't return to our home and have to clean up after her and we greatly appreciate that.

The average cost of House Sitting in Kingswood is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $67 per night.

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 Kingswood 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 Kingswood 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 Kingswood 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
