“Good morning Natalia! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Calvyn! It’s clear that you went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved. We could tell he was in great hands, and it really put our minds at ease while we were away on the cruise. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an outstanding job! We noticed how happy Calvyn seemed to be when we brought him home. Job well done! Thank you so much we really appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to others! Manny and Addy Marques”
“Rhody always has a great time with Jessica and Abu. It's difficult leaving him as he gets older and Jessica is the only one we trust. She loves him like her own and takes such good care of him. Thanks to her we are able to travel knowing he's in the best hands. Always a 5 star experience!”
“Armitage took great care of my 2 dogs for a week. We got photos everyday and plenty of updates that they were doing well. Armitage also washed our dog’s beds before we picked them up, which was not expected! I felt very confident they were in good hands while we were away!”
“Thank you for letting Hooper be a part of your family for 4 days. Based on pick up, he seemed very comfortable and relaxed which was awesome to see. It was obvious you took great care of him! Thank you again and hope to utilize your services again soon!”
“Ollie had another great stay with “Aunt” Jean. She takes care of him as though he were her own pet and sends us regular updates. It’s so nice to know he is well taken care of and in good hands when we have to travel.”
About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember—big, small, young, old, and nearly every breed in between. Currently, I’m the proud pet parent to two senior dogs, which means I know firsthand how to give older pups the gentle patience, calm environment, and extra care they deserve. Since I work from home, my schedule is wide open for playtime, belly rubs, and hanging out with your wigglebutts—big or small! With all-day supervision, timely potty breaks, and meals served right on schedule, you can rest easy knowing your furry babies are living their best, happiest lives while you're away. 🐾 Welcome to your pup’s home away from home! 🐾 Here is what makes our spot the ultimate pet paradise: • The Zoomie Zone: We have a fully fenced-in backyard ready for all the fetch and sniffing your dog's heart desires. • The Chill Out Lounge: Got a shy fur baby or someone who just needs a break from my own pups? Our secure, quiet den is the perfect peaceful retreat. • Travel Light: Don't stress about packing heavy! We are fully stocked with extra toys, cozy blankets, and comfy kennels if your pup prefers their own safe sleeping space at night or while I'm out running quick errands. • Double the Love: The best part? I have a built-in assistant! My teen son is a certified animal lover who is always down for playtime and belly rubs. Your pet will never feel lonely here!
“Qulynda was great! She took such great care of our dog while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend using Qulynda if you’re looking for someone to care for your furry one!”
“Rafael was fantastic with Phoebe! From the very start, he was organized, transparent about his home setup, and had a great system in place to keep all the visiting dogs safe and comfortable. During her overnight stay, he sent tons of wonderful photos and videos, and it was so clear that Phoebe was happy, relaxed, and right at home with him. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so glad we found him. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing watching Mika. Ashley not only treated her like her own dog but was very accommodating when I had to drop Mika off sooner than planned. Ashley is such a caring and honest person. If you want to leave your fur baby with someone, make sure to book with Ashley. Thank you so much Ashley for taking great care of Mika❤️”
“Had to find a place for my dog last minute and not only did I find someone for her I found someone great. Boa responded quickly to my request, did an excellent job communicating her needs and expectations before taking on my dog as well as listening to the needs I had on my end. In other words she’s good.”
“David was absolutely wonderful with Merci and Dolce. I really appreciated the videos and updates he sent—it made being away so much easier and gave me total peace of mind. It was clear they were having an amazing time, and honestly, I think they may have enjoyed being at his house even more than mine! He was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, and I truly can’t say enough good things about him. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs; especially the BIG ones! I’ve had every kind of pet throughout my life from ducks to mice! My home is set up just for dogs right now as I have one of my own with a large 10,000 sq ft fenced in yard! I am a stay at home mom so I will always be with your dog & usually have open availability. Your dog MUST be friendly with kids! We have a 3 & 7 year old (who know how to care for dogs appropriately & will be watched at all times when with your dog) We play all day outside in the yard with our dog & her doggy friends! After when we’re tired, we’ll cuddle up on the couch & watch a movie then go for a walk! I have a large 10,000 sq ft fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood with my own large dog. Covered porch with a dog igloo for fun! Plenty of space I am strong being a larger woman so you can definitely feel at ease; I know I’m alpha with big dogs as I have a Dutch Shepherd who is very sweet & cuddly with small dogs & will play all day with large dogs that can play back. She knows when to take space. Dogs are people here where they can be on the couch.
“Savannah was very kind, she sent lots of photo updates, and was super flexible with us during our travels. She is our new go-to dog sitter for when we go away. Thanks Savannah!”
“We had a great experience with Nick. He is super helpful, flexible, and easy communicate with, and sent daily photos and a video of our little dog. He has a great house and yard for the dogs to run around in, and two super friendly dogs of his own. Artemis came back happy, tired, and very well cared for!”
“Alexa is wonderful - you can tell she adores animals and our dog Archie loved her and her husband too! She was available for a last minute request when another Rover sitter cancelled and was graciously willing to have Archie stay for another couple of hours when our travel plans got delayed. If you need a sweet, responsive, responsible, easy to work with person for your pet, book her ! ❤️”
“Another great stay with Ty and her family! They are so kind and thoughtful in the care they show our Teddy. We are very grateful to have such responsible dogsitters!”
“Poppy had a wonderful weekend stay with Robert! He was so kind and attentive and shared lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We will happily send Poppy back for future stays with Robert!”
“Oliver was so well taken care of. I got many updates and pics. Lots of exercise and love was given. They were super easy to communicate with as well and were flexible about drop off time to accommodate my work schedule. I will definitely be using them again.”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apponaug
Christine was so flexible and accommodating with our dog, Ralph, when we needed a sitter while I was in the hospital for several days welcoming our baby boy into the world! Christine was very communicative and provided daily updates and pics of Ralph and also was so caring to ask about how mom and baby were doing and ensuring us not to stress about how long they would need to care for Ralph! Ralph had so much fun with Christine and her family!
Bebe and Ellie greatly appreciated the wonderful care that Savannah provided. Comfy environment, lots of attention and belly rubs as well as nice walks in the neighborhood. Feeding and meds as scheduled, and treats in between. They look forward to their next sleepover.
Cathleen and her husband are our favorite part of vacationing. We know our dog Bailey is in such good hands, and we love how adoring Cathy is! She might love our dog more than we do ;) Her fenced in yard is top notch as well, offering great and safe play time for our pup while we’re gone. Thank you, Cathy! You always put our mind as ease and give Bailey a wonderful vacation!
This was our first time leaving Lucy with Natalia for 10 days with Natalia. Lucy did great and Natalia kept us updated daily with pictures and let us know how she was doing. We felt very comfortable leaving Lucy with Natalia in her home and she looked like she and Archie got along great. We would not hesitate to leave her with Natalia again!
Armitage took great care of my 2 dogs for a week. We got photos everyday and plenty of updates that they were doing well. Armitage also washed our dog’s beds before we picked them up, which was not expected! I felt very confident they were in good hands while we were away!
Emily is a phenomenal sitter. I booked at the last minute and she was so gracious and ready to help. Her care for my pup was top tier! I could not ask for a better person and sitter to take care of my pup. Emily was attentive, communicative and made my pup feel at home. I HIGHLY recommend Emily to take care of your pup. I’ll definitely book again.
Wonderful experience!! Our pug is our world and get worried about her with her pug myelopathy. They were great with her and sent TONS of photos and updates throughout our trip❤️ It made it so we could enjoy our trip and know she was in great hands. Thank you for taking great care of our Zo ☺️
Victoria is a wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive from the moment I reached out, which made the whole process stress-free. My dog is older and can be picky about eating, but she went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of. She even picked up treats to encourage him to eat, and it made such a difference knowing she was willing to put in that extra effort. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. I would absolutely trust her to watch my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable sitter.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Apponaug is $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $78 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Apponaug can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Apponaug home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Apponaug.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apponaug. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Apponaug sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
