“Aja was absolutely amazing and by far and away the best dog sitter we have ever had. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and attention to instructions is something we should all strive for in our respective fields. My wife and I had absolutely zero concerns about the well-being of our doggos with Aja, which made for that much more enjoyable of a trip for us knowing they were in the absolute best hands. 10/10 WILL book again.”
“Ashlyn did an amazing job caring for our two large dogs while staying at our home for a couple of nights. They can be a handful and definitely aren’t the easiest dogs to manage, but she handled everything with confidence and professionalism. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. It’s clear that Ashlyn is experienced and truly understands dogs. We came home to happy, well cared for pups and a house that was just as we left it. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable pet sitter.”
“Brooke is really great with dogs! Boone seems to really like her. She sent us pictures of him throughout the day and was very responsive when we had a question. She’s flexible with your schedule and needs and does a lot to accommodate your pups needs. She slept with our pup each night.”
“Vanessa is our family. She TRULY cares about our fur children and treats them and our home as her own. She’s incredibly hard working, kind, and trustworthy. Don’t know what we would do without her!”
“Christine was truly the best sitter we could have asked for, and Honey and Maple absolutely adored her. She watched my girls for two weeks while we were overseas, and I honestly could not have felt better about leaving them with her. She treated them like they were her own and was so attentive to all of their little quirks. Somehow, without me even telling her, she figured out things like how they like to be tucked in when they go to sleep. 😂 She really got to know them and their personalities while we were gone. Honey and Maple are also very much sighthounds, so they come with some specific challenges. They can be picky about eating, and when they get playing too hard, they have a tendency to accidentally tear their skin. Christine handled both so well. She played with them constantly to keep them active and interested in eating, and she was so attentive to their play that she could redirect them before they got too rough. I came home to two happy dogs with no issues at all. She was also an amazing communicator and took great care of our house. More than anything, it was obvious how much she genuinely loved the dogs. I felt like she cared for them just as well as I would have, which is honestly the highest compliment I could give a sitter. I would trust Christine with Honey and Maple again without hesitation, and we will absolutely be hiring her again. If you are looking for someone who will really get to know your dogs and care for them like her own, I cannot recommend her enough. ❤️”
“Dean did a great job taking care of my Rottie. He gave her lots of attention, sent updates and photos and did everything exactly how we asked him to. He is also super nice. Recommend you hire Dean to care for your pets”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful! She sent updates with adorable photos. She was on time and very flexible with our pets needs/behaviors. We will definitely be reaching out to her for services requests again.”
“Maria was the perfect fit to watching our semi-weird dogs! Our dogs don't usually like anyone who isn't "mom and dad" but Maria was able to get them to cuddle and even take them on walks (a huge trust accomplishment). She kept us up to date at all times and sent us tons pictures of their snuggles and adventures. Her pricing was excellent too. We will absolutely use Maria again when we need a sitter for our fur children!”
“We had a great experience using Mae to watch our dog, Pippa, while we were on vacation. Pippa got sick during our trip, but Mae went above and beyond to take excellent care of her and reassure us that she was in good hands. We received lots of updates and pictures. We will definitely be using Mae again in the future!”
“Chelsea took such great care of my boys. She sent tons of pics great pics to keep me updated and I could tell they were in great hands and had so much fun. She left the house in great condition and just as good as we left it. Will definitely rebook with her again in the future.”
“Could not have asked for anything more. So attentive and communicative. Above and beyond in every possible way. Thanks for all the pictures and updates. Thanks for the daily walks. Thanks for the love you gave to Toby and Freya. Left my house clean and tidy. Highly recommend!!!”
“We had the BEST experience with Loren watching our dogs! She watched our two golden retrievers and even brought her own golden over during the day so they could all play together. Our boys loved it! She kept us updated, took great care of everyone, and treated our house like it was her own. She sent lots of cute pictures too. Highly recommend Loren and will definitely use her again in the future🤩”
“I had a great experience with Jennifer! She stayed in my home and took wonderful care of my two very energetic (and sometimes chaotic!) dogs. From the moment we met, I could tell she was comfortable handling high-energy pups, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear my dogs were happy and well cared for the entire time. What really impressed me was that she even worked on some training with them during her stay. That extra effort meant a lot and showed how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I came home to two happy dogs and a house just as I left it. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.”
“Thanks to Meaghan, I was completely comfortable leaving my cat and my house in her care while away. She's a very calming presence and quickly made friends with my cat, as well as giving her medicine and watering my plants. She had a family emergency that meant leaving for the weekend but let me know promptly so I could make other arrangements while she was away. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Amanda was a fantastic house/pet sitter - she treat our pets like her own and sent us lots of photos and updates during the 2 night stay. She was a pro giving medicine on a timely basis and not intimidated by our spoiled rotten dog. We highly recommend her and will be using her again and again.”
“Kristina took impeccable care of my cat. She sent me multiple pics and video of him daily and it eased my worries about leaving him. Highly recommend Kristina!”
“David watched my 2 dogs and my house while on a cruise. This is the longest I've ever left my dogs. They were both excited but not crazy wild. I got regular updates and pics of the pups. I recommend and will use again.”
“I cannot say enough about Anthony. We went away for a week and both of our dogs have severe separation anxiety. Anthony not only loved and cared for them, my Shih tzu hasn’t displayed his former bad habits (taking toilet paper off of the roll and running, chewing shoes). Anthony is THE BEST and I will use him again. Anthony thank you so much, words cannot describe how appreciative we are.”
“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kipling
We really appreciated Ashlyn sitting for us last minute and keeping an eye on our pup! Our dog was still recovering from a procedure and she was very caring, dealt with all of his needs and stayed in communication with us while we were away. We hope to rebook again in the future as he returns to normal life and would love to have her as a sitter again!
We always feel comfortable when Maria cares for our dogs. Her care is very personalized and she has a knack for understanding what each pet needs. Though no one could possibly love our dogs as much was we do, Maria’s thoughtfulness sometimes makes me think she may be pretty close. Highly recommended!
We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! Brianna went above and beyond for our pups, even with adverse weather conditions, and handled everything with such care and professionalism. Communication was excellent and she kept us continually updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she showed ours. We will 100% be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and proactive dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kipling on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,690 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kipling. 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 Kipling 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 Kipling 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 Kipling 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.

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.
