“Bri took care of our 4 pets with ease and care. She was super communicative throughout the stay and was an absolute dream to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Kylie is great! Major loves her. She does a lot of extras as well as watching Major, picking up our mail, putting out trash cans, cooking Major’s food, we leave for at least a week at a time, and our home always looks great when we get home. Kylie is very reliable. I give her five stars!”
About: Hi I'm Brittaney! Multi cat owner and Oregon Humane Society adult volunteer. I have 9 years of experience caring for cats, including feeding, litter care, playtime, and administering medication. I’ve also provided professional cat care during weeklong stays. For dogs, I offer gentle, reliable walks to help them stay active and happy. I make sure all pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved, paying attention to their routines and personalities so every visit is tailored to them. I provide daily cat care and dog visits on a semi-flexible schedule. Morning visits: M,W,TH,F 8:30/9am-9:30am and 9am-9:30am on Saturdays Mid-day visits: Wednesday 10:00–1:30pm Evenings: M,Th,S 6pm - any Unavailable: Tuesdays (Sabbath) & Sundays I do not provide overnight care at this time- sorry! Note: I work full-time, so a little flexibility with visit times is appreciated. I provide pet care only in clients’ homes for two reasons: I want pets to be in the comfort of their familiar environment and I have two cats of my own that are territorial. Your pets’ safety, trust, and well-being are my top priorities, and I want to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for while following their usual routines.
“Freya was amazing, even and despite my pets being little $hit$ during her stay. She took great care of them and they were quite happy when I returned. Will definitely have her back!”
“Shannon is the first Rover pet sitter I have used, and I was a little concerned to use a person I had never met. However, I chose her because of her experience with cats. We did meet before her service days. She is very conscientious and knows the typical cat behaviors. Photos were sent often and we shared comments. My kitty quickly adapted to her and I could see this in the photos. Our home was left clean and Shannon followed up after our return.”
About: I have experience providing dependable, attentive care for a variety of pets and understand the importance of maintaining their comfort, safety, and well-being. I am committed to following established routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration when needed, and daily companionship.

“Madison was communicative and was caring to my 2 dogs and needy cat while I was away on a trip. I got photo updates and the house was also in great clean condition when I came home :)”
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“Alyssa was amazing with my dog Auggie! He absolutely adored getting all the attention while I was gone, and she did such an amazing job communicating with me and keeping me up to date on what he was up to, along with great photos. Would love to have her back!”
“Georgia was great! Communicative and easy. She even had to deal with my dog having some stomach issues and she was really good about everything. I will definitely rebook her in the future”
“So happy to say I came home to a happy dog and a beautifully clean home. Lucinda sent pictures of Sam and kept me informed all the way along. I certainly will use Lucinda again. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone to take care of your animals.”
“Cindy did an amazing job with our boys while we were gone. Followed care instructions and made sure our boys had their medications daily. She provided us with some updates during our trip which was nice and reassuring as we get nervous leaving our senior dogs.”
“Emma, Has a very calm demeanor and made me feel at ease. I’m very protective of my pup and after talking with her I felt safe for her to watch Finley. She’s very respectful and a sweet lady that seems to have a genuine passion for animals. I could tell Finley likes her. I told her she’s welcome to come by anytime to see Fin. I will have watch Fin in the future as long as she’s willing and available. Thank you Emma!!”
About: I have experience caring for pets at all stages of life, from newborn kittens to senior dogs. I cared for our family dog through her senior years, including her final days at 18 years old, which taught me the patience, attentiveness, and loving care that older pets need. I've also rescued two kittens when they were just a few weeks old and raised them into two healthy, happy, and lovable friends. I genuinely love animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines. I will treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own:) I work full-time as a Habitat Restoration Project Manager, with flexibility to work from home as needed. I prefer long-term house and pet-sitting arrangements, as they allow me to build a routine with the pets, get to know their personalities, and provide a comfortable, consistent presence while their owners are away. I’m highly active (run 30-40+ miles a week), responsible, and love having animals as part of my daily life! I tailor my care to each animal’s needs, personality, and their owner's preferences. I’m detail-oriented and take the time to read through instructions carefully so I can follow routines and expectations closely. Safety is always my top priority. I want to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while also knowing they're in a safe and attentive environment.
“Cara was amazing! She's trustworthy, super responsive, and great in a crisis! Our two dogs got sprayed by a skunk in the middle of the night on her last night sitting and she went above and beyond to help. She bathed the dogs, scrubbed the house to minimize the scent, washed blankets & towels, she even went out and bought a professional skunk deodorizer. When our flight was delayed, she came back before bedtime to check on our girls, let them out again, and made sure they had everything they needed until we made in home late. If I could give Cara more than 5 stars, I definitely would! I will for sure be booking with Cara again!”
“Christina was such a great help for our three pets on short notice. We received regular updates and it was very clear from the first set of photos that our pets automatically clicked with Christina. 5/5, would re-book and recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kinton
Melody was such a wonderful pet sitter! She took excellent care of our pets and home while we were on vacation. She sent along photo updates throughout her stay. Seeing our animals comfortable in their environment helped us to be able to relax on our trip knowing they were in good hands. Melody is kind and communicative, and cared for our home and pets as if they were her own. We will be reaching out to her for future pet sitting needs!
We were travelling and arrived home very late. But two happy calm cats that had stayed with Kaley for six days were waiting for us and glad to see us. They were certainly not seeming to be stressed in any way and clearly had a good time and good care while we were away. Kaley left the house neat and tidy.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kinton is $63 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $138 per night. 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.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kinton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
