“Our doggies are always so content when we get home after they’ve spent time with Hayley. Exactly what we want for them—someone that loves them and keeps them feeling safe and happy at home.”
“Heather was AMAZING. My older dog is very unsure with new people and she did great with him. She kept us update every day and made my wife and I very comfortable that our puppies were in great hands! She will be our first option if we need someone in the future!”
“Grace watched our one year old dog for a night and was wonderful to work with! She comes with a lot of experience, especially with herding dogs which was a bonus for us. Our young border collie loved her right away and we got some nice photos of dog snuggles. From my end, I thought she was reliable and professional. I can honestly say I didn’t worry when we were away. I would definitely work with her again!”
“Lucas was amazing with my 8 year old Aussie, Cali, and 16 year old cat, Chili. I was gone for 2 weeks and received updates and photos almost daily of my babies. No doubt they were taken care of and loved by Lucas. I would highly recommend him and will be using him in the future. Blessed to have found him!! ☺️”
About: Family friends have trusted me to care for their pets for years. I have a strong repeat client base I've cultivated over time through word-of-mouth referrals. I have cared for senior dogs, multiple dogs, cats, and even goats! I love spending time with all pets, big and small. They will be well cared for. At this time, I only offer house sitting. I am clean and respectful. In college, I worked for a local house cleaning company and will always leave your house as clean as when I arrived (if not cleaner!). I will water your plants, take care of your mail and watch after your home while you are away. I also work an in-office job. The office allows dogs and there are usually two others present. I currently work in a dog-friendly office. Usually, there are two other dogs present, a golden doodle and a cavalier. Both are friendly and your dog would be more than welcome to join me during my work hours. I am fully available on evenings and weekends as well. I currently only offer pet sitting in the pet's home. I am a respectful and discreet housesitter who has also years of experience as a house cleaner.
“Michelle did a wonderful job with our two dogs. They can be a handful but she did great. She was also very good at keeping us informed with pictures and updates as needed.”
“Erika took excellent care of our animals and our home for an extended period of time. Not all sitters would book for 10 days but she did. Very communicative and sent photos of our pets daily. We’re so comfortable with her because she’s so attentive and trustworthy. I cannot say enough great words but know we’d book her again!”
“Keira is a great pet/house sitter. Followed my gazillion rules and my fur babies loved her!! Highly recommended and I will request her again for my next trip !! Thanks Keira!!!”
“Alexandra was fabulous! I don't think my dog knew the difference between her and me! I felt very comfortable with her in my house and with my sweet pup. She sent lots of pictures and texts. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Tom stayed with our two goldendoodles for a week in our home. Poppy and Ollie were very well cared for. Lots of walks and playing ball in yard. Tom sent a lots of pictures. Loved the ones with dogs laying with Tom and chilling. Highly recommend and will definitely call on him in the future.”
“Bryn took such good care of my dog and was super friendly and nice. Was nervous using this app but she was super easy to work with, showed up on time, and I trusted that she was capable with animals due to years of experience working with them professionally. Will definitely be hiring her again next time I go away!”
About: I’ve grown up with many dogs and watched dogs all my life. My mom was a dog groomer and owned a dog day care. I’m currently working part time and will be starting college in the fall but I can always make time to walk your pup or help with your cat! I can watch them overnight, watch them for the day, or take them out for a walks. I can definitely take your pup for a walk multiple times a day and however you train them in your home I will do the same.
“Gianna is amazing. She saved us when we were out of town and desperate to find a replacement sitter. She took such great care of our dogs and our house was spotless when we came home. Would 100% book with her again.”
About: I'm pretty new to Rover, but I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, and other small pets. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, including seniors, and have experience administering oral medications, handling emergencies, and providing daily exercise and enrichment. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before services to learn your pet’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, my goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Safety is always my top priority, and I treat every home with respect—often leaving it a little cleaner than I found it. I am working a part time job during the weekdays, usually the shifts are 11am-4 or 5pm, and on the weekends I work longer shifts which vary in time. However... I have many weeks off here and there so I am free a lot of the time. My job is pretty flexible most of the time so I can leave work to walk your pups and make sure they are okay and then go back to work. My yard has an Invisible Fence for my dogs which works out quite nicely and whenever I have other people's dogs over I make sure to keep them on a leash so no accidents happen. That being said, I live with my parents so I would be more geared towards servicing in home visits and stays with your pets at your home.
About: I have three friendly dogs of my own and I have also attended a couple dog training lessons. Dogs are hands down my favorite animal! I have a lot of free time and dogs would make it more fun! I attend online college courses, so school and work are not an interference. I take my dogs at home on daily walks along a trail in my backyard, feed them twice a day, and I love playing with them!
The median cost per night for house sitting in West Kingston is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Kingston
We had a wonderful experience with Isabelle and would highly recommend her services. We were away in Florida for 10 days and felt completely at ease knowing our 15-year-old dog was in such capable and caring hands. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly experienced with older dogs. She checked in with us regularly—just the right amount—so we always knew how things were going without feeling overwhelmed. It meant a lot to us to receive those updates while we were away. In addition to taking great care of our dog, she also kept our home clean and tidy, which we truly appreciated after a long trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter.
We were so pleased to have Hayley take care of our Australian Shepherd, Sydney, during our recent 21 day overseas trip. She gave him all the love and attention that we could ask for - he has been well cared for… we think he misses her now that she’s gone! She communicated with us regularly, and sent many pictures, which eased any pangs of longing for our sweet dog while we were visiting family. When we returned, our home was in perfect order, and even supplied with a few essentials to make it easy to settle in, what a nice touch. We would highly recommend Hayley for any pet sitting, short or long term, and we look forward to working with her in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Kingston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Kingston on Rover is $68.82 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 1,218 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Kingston. 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 West Kingston 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 West Kingston 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 West Kingston 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.
