“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.”
“Grace was great with my dog Brody, she was so flexible and patient with him. She had excellent communication before and sent along photos while Brody was in her care. I trust her and highly recommend her to anyone wanting a warm, friendly, caring sitter in the area!”
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.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small pets. I’m attentive, patient, and adaptable to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, or simply companionship and cuddles, I’m dedicated to making sure they feel happy and comfortable. My patience and calm approach are especially helpful when caring for puppies who are still learning routines and senior dogs who may need extra support, gentleness, and attention. I work full-time during the week, which allows me to offer pet care services after 5 PM Monday through Thursday, along with open availability on weekends. I’m also available for overnight care and happy to accommodate special requests, including extended stays and flexible care arrangements whenever possible. I always prioritize safety and comfort while caring for animals. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times. I supervise pets during walks, playtime, meals, and outdoor time. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and routines, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where pets can feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: I have volunteered for years at an animal shelter with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I took multiple training courses at the shelter to be able to work with dogs that may need more care and attention, as well as for those that may be more reactive. I have also owned dogs my entire life and have been tasked numerous times with walking/watching people's dogs! I work remotely so I am able to watch your pet anytime throughout the day, and I am able to walk them anytime as I have more flexibility! I also finish work at 3pm so I am completely open after that time. I am experienced with working with dogs of all temperaments, as well as experienced and trained with walking dogs around other dogs, including more reactive dogs.
“Heather was amazing! Communication was excellent and she was so accommodating when our plans changed. One of my dogs is a senior and she stayed with him which was so sweet considering I gave her the option. Even my cats, who usually aren’t super social, took to her from the first meeting. I would absolutely hire her again and would strongly recommend her to anyone! Above and beyond my expectations!”
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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and have taken care of friends and neighbors pets for many years. I am very punctual and always make sure your pets receive the best care, and lots of love and cuddles. I am currently UVM nursing alum with lots of free time on my hands this summer to walk, feed, play with, and let out pets. My availability should be accurate, but sometimes changes. I always treat other’s homes with care, and ensure to leave them better then I found them. I make a point to ensure every environment is safe and comfortable for pets.

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.
