“I recently hired Jake as my dog walker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! He truly went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did he take excellent care of my dog, but he also picked up my mail and even cleaned up my house, which was a delightful surprise. Communication was top-notch; Jake kept me well informed throughout the entire process and sent me tons of pictures, which made me feel connected and reassured while I was away. His attentiveness and dedication to my dog's well-being were evident, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker!”

“Rebecca is an AMAZING pet sitter. My dogs (and I have a lot of dogs) adore her and the extra special touches she brings (ex: leaving them with Zen music when she isn't there or before we get home), allowing them to be the dogs they are and accepting they make messes). I know our pack is a bunch of misfits, but she never appears frazzled going about caring for them. We appreciate her and all she does for our pups and the condition of our house when she leaves. Impeccable!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for most of life. Whether it was family dogs or friends dogs I have been trusted to walk, feed, and entertain many dogs. I am currently a full time student and will be continuing classes this fall. I am available during the week and the weekends to walk and watch dogs. I care for pets with love and respect. I can crate if that is an option or entertain and hang out with if needed or wanted.
About: I've been a pet mom to cats and a small senior dog (a Shih Tzu) for several years. I've also been a cat sitter to my friends and family. I have experience in giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, play time, brushing, dog walking, bathing, etc. Rover is my primary source of income so my schedule is completely customizable for clients. While house sitting, I may leave the house up to 4 hours to run errands. I request to do a complimentary meet and greet before committing booking. Please know I may decline an offer if I feel I am not the best fit for your pet. I will follow whatever rules you give me and respect your home environment. The more detailed instructions you give me, the better so I can make your pet as comfortable as possible. I will provide a picture and an update every day. If there is any issue that arises, I will get in contact with you right away. My number one priority is to provide you with the peace of mind that your pet is receiving excellent care and attention.
“Diana has looked after my cat Lily on two occasions, and I couldn’t be any happier. I know Lily is always so well taken care of, which allows me to be present on my trips, and she enjoys Diana so much, I don’t worry. I don’t travel much, but when I have to, I always reach out to Diana first to see if she is available!”

“Meghan was wonderful staying overnight with our very anxious Irish Doodle. She was patient and kind to him. Administered his medicine and took him for walks, taking special care of his injured knee. He loved her. Left our house in such great order, didn't even know she was there. I highly recommend her and hopefully can book again when another opportunity arises!”

“Elliot was FANTASTIC watching our pup! We got updates and pictures the entire time we were gone. We came home and she was all snuggled up next to him. Super star pet sitter. We will 100% use him again! Thank you, Elliot, for taking such great care of our girl.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and Guinea pigs for the past 9 years. Makes sure my neighbors dog when out of town is fed, walked, bathed, and clothed. Currently working part time in social media management, so I’m home with more than enough time to cater towards fur babies! I’m available Monday through Saturday of every week. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood that even supplies bags for dogs. There’s more than enough room in my apartment for zoomies, crates, And most furniture that they are allowed on!
“Marissa was wonderful. I was lucky enough to get her on very short notice to do in-house overnight visits with my cat. Marissa was professional, communicative, and generally gave me great peace of mind while I was away I will definitely be rebooking the next time I’m going out of town!”


“Beverly was awesome. This was the first time we were away from our 150lb mastiff puppy and we were worried about him. Bev made us very comfortable during the meet and greet and communicated with us up until the the sit started to ensure she had all the details and care instructions. On the day of the sit she showed up right on time and settled in before we had to leave, so the puppies would get used to her being in the house. During the next few days she took wonderful care of our furbabies. She played with them and cuddled with them when they were moping and was persistent about trying to get them to eat. Pretty soon they were following her around everywhere. She sent us a lot of pictures of them and the house was immaculately clean when we got back. We would love for her to care for our babies again in the future.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and have experience volunteering at a local cat sanctuary! I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs with medical conditions and can administer medications (including aerosols) if given instructions. Some experience with teaching basic commands (ex. sit, stay) to dogs. I’m a recent graduate looking to fill my summer with some extra joy! I love spending time with any and all animals, and would be happy to accommodate your scheduling needs. Currently available full time. Safety is my number one priority, whether in your home or out and about on a walk! I want to meet your needs, so that you and your pet(s) are happy, safe, and comfortable.
“I'm so happy to have found Rikki, and so close to home! Riley loved her and had a great time playing in the snow and going for walks. It was so nice to come home to a puppy that was tuckered out for once! Rikki clearly has a lot of experience with animals and was not only incredibly patient with Riley, she genuinely appreciated her puppy energy! I felt completely comfortable (and relieved) knowing that Riley would be loved and cared for just as if I were there. Rikki kept me posted, sent pictures and even left me an adorable little "insta" pic for when I got home. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

About: I offer dependable drop-in visits for dogs and cats, giving them the care, attention, and comfort they need while you are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always respect your home and routines. With a flexible schedule, I am able to offer dependable pet visits throughout the day. This allows me to be available when your pets need care, attention, and consistency. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, potty, and quality time, so your pets feel safe and loved. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in kind, reliable hands.
“Suzie was great! Each day we had photos and a report. It was nice knowing someone was "living" with our "kids" while we were away. She took great care of them! I would highly recommend her.”

About: With a full year of Rover experience and a strong base of repeat clients, I bring reliability, consistency, and genuine care to every booking. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, including my own 80‑lb senior lab, and I understand how important it is to maintain routines, provide calm structure, and keep pets comfortable. Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience, I’m committed to giving them attentive, high‑quality care. A meet & greet is required for all first time clients. I want to make sure this is a good fit for everyone! Pet care is a core part of my everyday life because pet‑sitting is my full‑time job. My days revolve around maintaining consistent routines, giving each pet plenty of attention, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and cared for. I’m home throughout the day, which means I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship without rushing or squeezing things in. With my own 8‑year‑old, 80‑lb lab by my side, caring for dogs is simply part of the rhythm of my home and my week. Pets staying with me get reliable structure, lots of interaction, and a calm environment where they can settle in and feel at ease. I offer both in‑home boarding and in‑home sitting, and I tailor my care to whatever helps pets feel the most comfortable. When pets stay with me, they have full access to my fenced‑in backyard for safe outdoor time, plus daily walks either through downtown Lambertville or along the quieter D&R towpath depending on their energy level and personality. My home is set up for dogs to relax, follow familiar routines, and enjoy plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to stay in a client’s home when that’s the best fit. In those cases, I adapt completely to the pet’s existing schedule, environment, and household routines—whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, maintaining training habits, or keeping their usual walking routes. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, understood, and cared for, no matter which service their family chooses.
About: I've been taking care of my best friend's and my neighbors' dogs since before I can remember, and have two very happy and healthy cats myself. I can take care of any animal, but cats and dogs are my favorites. I love to take dogs on walks and playing fetch (even on 100+ degree days) because every dog deserves the best treatment. Pet care is 24/7 for me with two cats, but since it's summertime, I'm able to be free any day of the week at any time to take care of pets, and can spend long amounts of time with pets without having to leave them. I will follow any and all rules and set by you, including feeding times, walk requests and more, as all I want is to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and taken care of properly. I am very enthusiastic about walks and even just playing with and petting dogs, and I just want to make sure pets are happy and healthy😸.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kingwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,647 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kingwood. 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 Kingwood 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 Kingwood 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 Kingwood 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 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.
