“We've used Lynden a few times now to house/dog sit for our puppy Ellis and senior dog Dexter and will definitely continue to schedule with her. She is communicative, provides updates, and we arrive back home to happy dogs and a clean house. She's very accommodating on changes in feeding, walking schedules, and giving medications.”
About: I grew up in a house with everything from pit bulls to toy fox terriers, cats and horses! I love getting to see each pet’s individual personality and gain their trust as we get to know each other❤️ Along with my own pets, I have also been trusted to take care of numerous family and friends’ animals. I have recently moved to a new area so I’m looking for people that are closer to where I’m at now😊 I’m currently available anytime! I can walk your dog when you don’t have time, stay overnight if you’re out of town, or stop by to feed your pet. Whatever and whenever! I would like to learn your pets routine and continue any training you may be doing. I have experience training my own puppy primarily using positive reinforcement methods. I have also taken care of incontinent geriatric dogs with diapers. If I’m comfortable with your pet I can administer medication as well.
“Vai & Adam were reliable and did a great job watching my dog and two cats. They left the house in better condition than when they arrived. I could tell the animals were well taken care of.”
“Tabitha was absolutely amazing! She was open to meeting before watching my two boys. They loved her right away. I appreciate her communication style and her attention to detail. She went above and beyond. Came home to clean house and she did the laundry even. She’s wonderful and I most definitely hope she’s available when I go out of town again! Thank you for making my trip that much better because I knew my boys were in good hands!”
“Jason did a wonderful job with my sometimes needy pup! I was able to feel carefree on my time away and he kept me posted on progress with the new relationship. Coop didn't ignore me for two days when I came back - and that is because he was happy! I would strongly recommend Jason if you need to step away from your fur babies ❤️”
“Freya did a great job making us feel comfortable with our kitty while we were out of town. She was very good at communicating with updates and pictures and kept the house nice and clean. Would definitely recommend”
“Alyssa took great care of Leia and our home! She kept in touch regularly and sent photos of Leia throughout the day. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!”
“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”
“Shannon was on top of care for my senior pup. I left two dogs and my home in her care. She left my home in spotless shape and my pups happy and cared for over the weekend. ?”
About: We honor the spaces of pets and allow them the time to become comfortable. We always assure they feel safe, and know we are a guest in their space or they are an honored guest in our family home. We love spending time with animals and have been fortunate to provide care to friends animals overnight and for daily care. My husband and I work full-time, on opposite schedules. We are available evenings during the week and weekends. During the week, we are more than happy to board pets as needed. I work from home, and he works only a few days a week. We have a fenced yard and we live in a dog lover neighborhood. We take our friends dogs on walks often, as needed. We have cared for family and friends dogs overnight and they all enjoyed their time at our home. We tend to spoil pets (based on parents discretion of course) while they are with us. Our home is their home, and we never want a pet to feel unsafe or unhappy while spending time with our family. Our family will care for them like our own.
“Brayden and Sara were fantastic to work with. They house sat for us for about a week while we were out of town, caring for our three dogs. We’ll be the first to admit our pups aren’t the easiest crew, but Brayden and Sara went out of their way beforehand to learn their routines, quirks, and needs so everything would run smoothly. When a few small issues came up during the stay — which we’d anticipated, knowing our dogs, they let us know right away and handled everything calmly and competently. We never once felt like we had to manage things from afar, and it was a relief to come home to three happy, well cared for dogs and a house left in great shape. We’d absolutely book them again and highly recommend them to anyone with a full house of pets.”
“Heather was an attentive sitter who didn’t hesitate to take on my little blind girl who is pretty needy. She sent pictures throughout the day which was very reassuring. She will be my sitter of choice in the future. Thank you, Heather!”
“Tori watched our dogs while I was traveling for work. Every day when my wife came home, our dogs were relaxed and calm. That means so much to us! It was clear that Tori earned their trust, and has certainly earned ours, as well. Thank you for your conscientiousness with Carmen and Pasquali's medications. We'd be glad to recommend you and have you over to dogsit again!”
“This was the first time Lucinda stayed in our house and took care of our dog. I can't say enough about how wonderful it all went! Lucinda is an excellent communicator which is very important to me. She sent me regular updates and photos. I felt very confident that our dog was being well cared for. She really seemed to enjoy being with him! We came home to a clean and orderly house. 5 Stars all around!!!”
“I'm not sure how many times I can say how amazing Anastasiya is. I feel so lucky to have found her! She's great with Carl and I always come back to a home that is perfect. This particular time, we had some issues with timing due to my flights and she was very flexible, making sure Carl got the care he needed. I will hire her every time I can! Thank you, Anastasiya!”
“Katherine was great with my pup. He immediately liked her and let her go on a walk. Great communication and always updating me with pictures. I will happily let her take care of my dog again.”
About: I have been walking dogs for the past 7 years ago and I have been pet sitting for about 5 years. I have experience working with with all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors, and various sizes and breeds. I love caring for people's pets while they are away and making sure that the animals are comfortable and happy! I also have experience cat sitting and love cats just as much as dogs!! I have two cats of my own, and grew up having dogs! I also currently work with puppies on the weekends :) I work on the weekends and have off most of the week, so I have a pretty open schedule Monday through Friday! I’d love to spend time hanging with and caring for other peoples animal during the week! I care for pets by introducing myself to them, letting them sniff me, and building trust and a relationship. I am happy to follow any directions given to provide quality care to clients’ pets! I also make sure to do unspoken things, like refill water bowls, etc. Since I’ve had pets all my life, I am very familiar with how to care for them :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kinton
I’ve had Kaley do many drop in and dog walk visits but this was my first time using a Rover for house/dog sitting. Kaley was an excellent choice for watching my Marlee girl when we went on a vacation. Always quick to reply, kind, and friendly. She took great care of Marlee and left my house in great shape. Would highly recommend Kaley for dog walks/drop in visits and longer dog/house sitting needs.
Kylie is an incredible house and dog sitter. We were nervous leaving our anxious and skittish Australian Shepherd mix for 5 days and Kylie made us feel at ease, sent photos, and left our house spotless. She works so well with rescue dogs- they feed off of her calm and confident demeanor. We had a couple of drop-in visits before the big trip and each one we could tell that our pup was going to do amazing with Kylie. It was so nice to not have to worry about a thing while we were away. She’s the best!
This is the second time Mia has stayed in our home to watch our anxious dog. She follows all instructions and keeps our home in great condition. Mia even runs home on her lunch break to let my dog out. She is reliable and provides regular updates. I would not hesitate to hire her again.
Jenn was such a wonderful person to sit with our kittos and give them the best care while we were gone. She made them the cutest little box house for them to play in and sent tons of photos throughout our trip. She was an excellent communicator and left our house is fantastic condition.
I cannot recommend Tanja enough! We needed someone to watch our two cats and dog for 4 days, and she went above and beyond.Tanja followed all our care instructions, kept the house immaculate, and sent photo updates every day. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our animals were in such capable and loving hands. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Bridget is the absolute best! She was very communicative, ensuring we got updates and pictures of our pups and cat while we were away, and we could tell they all felt very loved. It was the first time our cat wasn’t mad at us when we returned home — a true sign he felt taken care of. Bridget also helped manage a few home needs while we were away, brought new toys and treats to our pups, and left the house clean and well taken care of when we got back home. We highly recommend Bridget!
Skylene did an amazing job taking care of our dog and our house. Our dog takes some time getting warmed up, and Skylene was patient and calm with her. We came back from a week long trip over Christmas and Rigby was well taken care of and our house was spotless. She communicated when needed and even brought in packages and flipped a breaker for us! We will certainly use her in the future.
Our dog instantly connected with Elizabeth and even showed his playful side we rarely see as he is older and much less active. She asked good questions, kept us updated and took amazing personalized care of our dog and our home. We would hire her again without any reservation.
Marco took amazing care of our puppy. He is reliable, trustworthy and kept me informed on my puppy's day. I had not left our puppy with anyone but family until Marco, and I couldn't have asked for better care. Thank you Marco - Ringo is looking forward to visiting your property soon!

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 Kinton 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 Kinton 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 Kinton 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!

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 .
