About: I LOVE DOGS!! I've taken care of pets since I was 14 and love taking them on adventures or relaxing with them! I am a current college student who is home during breaks and weekends! I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate your pets every need! As a full-time college student, I am currently restricted to my University schedule. I am available during Summer break: June 15th-September 25th, Winter break: December 13th-January 4th, and Spring break: March 21st-March 29th. I am currently residing with my parents during university breaks and, as such, am unable to provide in-home pet care at my own residence. However, I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at clients’ homes. To ensure a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable experience, I schedule a meet-and-greet with each client and their pet prior to the start of services. This allows us to discuss expectations, address any questions, and establish a solid foundation for care. I also encourage clients to review the Rover Community Guidelines so they are fully informed about the process and policies. Throughout the booking, I maintain clear and consistent communication! I provide updates and photos to keep clients informed about how their pet is doing. I know I love to receive updates on my puppy while I’m away! I also reach out if anything arises that requires their input. After the booking, I follow up to ensure that the care I provided met their expectations. My goal is always to deliver reliable, attentive, and high-quality care.
“Bry was so caring and loving to my pets my neighbors even noticed. She is very kind, Profesional and trustworthy. She was punctual and very communicative. I will definitely hire her again. I had s great experience using Rover for the first time. I felt very reassured and relaxed about the process”
“I cannot recommend Marc enough! Leaving our pets is always stressful, but Marc took such incredible care of them that it felt like they were on vacation too. They were attentive to our pets’ specific routines and sent the best daily photo updates, which allowed me to completely relax on our trip. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Heather took wonderful care of our senior citizen friends (dog and cat) and our home, while we were away. Both animals are very set in their routines and our dog, in particular, is needy from the standpoint of both oral and injectable medication. He also wears belly bands while we’re away. Both animals looked very happy and content when we got home. Our home was also well cared for. Heather is an excellent communicator and asks questions, if she has any. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone needing an experienced, trustworthy pet/home sitter.”
“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”
“Adam & Vaitiary are the absolute BEST! We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with them! They treat them like the princesses and are so in tune to their needs! Highly recommend!”
“Ian and Susan were just fabulous. Ian spent the most time at our home and sent daily reports and lots of pictures. Finley had recently had surgery so needed close supervision. He was so well taken care of! We liked that Ian introduced him to some new places and experiences. Ian took great care of our house as well and it was nice and clean when we returned. We highly recommend them as sitters and will happily rebook them when the opportunity arises. Finley was sad to see Ian go!”
“Alexis and Jacob were very communicative and easy to work with! They took good care of my pets and left the house neat and tidy. Would recommend and hire again!”
“Cora was great! Super quick to respond and easily adaptable to my pets needs when i needed him to take medications. Also sent me pictures of him that reassured me he was being loved and taken care of!”
“It was a pleasure working with Donita. She was great about setting up a M&G and letting my dog meet her before the stay. She handled all the details of car very well. When I cam home, my pup was happy and healthy and calm, and the house was in terrific condition. I very much look forward to having her look after my dog in the future!”
“Tiffany and their family were very kind and patient with my sensitive pup. They were willing to give him time to warm up to them and ended up playing together for most of their time. I can tell he was very well cared for. Thank you Tiffany!”
“Duncan had a great stay with Shannon. She was very accommodating scheduling a meet-n-greet prior to the stay. She sent us pics everyday for updates as well. We will be using Shannon's services again in the future.”
“Alex is incredible! My dog Bear is usually aggressive with new people, but he warmed up to Alex immediately, which speaks volumes about his calm and trustworthy energy. He followed all instructions perfectly and kept us updated the whole time. Coming home to a vacuumed house and fresh sheets on the bed was such a thoughtful, unexpected touch. We will 100% be booking Alex again and can’t recommend him enough!”
“We could not have had a better sitter than Kelsea! It was very clear right at the get-go at our meet-and-greet that she was exceedingly competent at dog care thanks to her extensive history in dog rescue. She understood and followed all our instructions/requests with ease, such as with their diet since they needed to avoid gaining weight. She then went the extra mile by being extremely attentive to their eating habits, asking permission to alter meals so that they were eating better, which we really appreciated! Her attention to detail was impeccable. She also introduced new toys/treats for mental stimulation without causing them to gain weight (: Finally, she showed through plenty of pictures and updates how much love and attention the animals were getting! They looked so calm and happy when I returned home. If you want peace of mind that your animals are in the hands of someone who will love on them, Kelsea is your girl! Than you, Kelsea!”
“There aren’t enough words to describe how unbelievably amazing Addy was with Bailey while I was gone for a full week! The stress and anxiety of leaving my baby was gone the minute she arrived for our meet & greet, which was refreshing after two failed Rover sitters. Since Bailey and I are active I wanted to find someone similar that would take her on walks, to park and more! She followed Bailey’s meal schedule and was with her 75-80% of the time which was important to me. Huge bonus was that Addy and her parents owned two goldens so Bailey went over there to play and on a few adventures with their adorable pups 🐾 When I arrived home my place looked the same as when I left it, she even washed my sheets and remade my bed, so instead of cleaning I could snuggle with Bailey! I have already booked Addy in January and honestly never had anyone I could trust so excited to plan a few more getaways in the future. If you are looking for someone to watch your pet don’t look any further book or I promise you will be sorry!”
“Stephanie did an amazing job housesitting my dog. My dog can be antisocial and pretty fearful of strangers. Stephanie remained in close contact to update me on how my dog was doing as well as how to best approach taking care of him while I was gone. Stephanie worked through adversity and stuck with the job to get the best results possible and I am very thankful for her and how she cared for my dog.”
“Misela was awesome! She was covering for another pet sitter that was also looking after my animals at the same time, and everything went smoothly! My animals took to her right away, which made me feel very comfortable with Misela as my pet sitter, and gave me peace of mind while on my vacation.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kinton
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.
Zoe did a wonderful job pet sitting for my 2 little pups. She did everything I asked her even though feeding my senior pup was complicated. Both dogs were happy & healthy when I got home and the house was clean too! She was good with them, they enjoyed her calm and gentle attention. She also sent frequent updates and pictures too. I would recommend Zoe for any dog care needs.
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!
WOW! I can’t say thank you to Mia enough! Always doing rover can be a little scary cause you asking a stranger to be in your house with your favorite animal but she was perfect and eased all concern. She took perfect care of graham for over 2 weeks at our place and she’s absolutely delightful to work with! We will be used Mia for all our doggie needs! She’s amazing. Thank you Mia!!!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kinton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kinton on Rover is $63.33 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,689 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kinton. 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 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.
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 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!
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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
