“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.”
“Jean treated Zu Zu as her if she were her own pup. We were kept updated throughout our time away, with pics, videos and texts. We had a late return flight and Jean went above & beyond by laundering the sheets, making sure we didn't need to do so when we arrived home. We are grateful for Jean's incredible care of our little girl!”

About: I have lived with, raised, and cared for multiple dogs at once for my entire life. I have grown up with retrievers, shibas, Rhodesian ridgebacks, and all manner of rescues. As a dog sitter, I have walked, played with, and done multi-day overnights with all kinds of canines, from timid greyhounds to rambunctious collies. I lead an active lifestyle and take my shiba for at least three 2-mile walks each day, plus weekend hikes and trips to the dog park. I am a freelance writer, so I have a very flexible schedule. The highlight of my day is walking my dog and, ideally, meeting new dogs along the way. I feel like Rover is the perfect way to spend time with dogs and help their time-pressed owners. I will follow any and all instructions left by the owners. I always keep dogs leashed, prevent them from eating foreign objects, and otherwise prioritize their safety at all times.
About: I’ve had many dogs all different kind of breeds. Very good at training and giving them attention. Takes them for walks 1 to 3 times a day I’m free Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Some weekends if 2 week notice. Mornings afternoons and evenings work durning the week. Weekends when I’m available mainly evenings and nights I don’t have a fenced yard but I will keep them on leash at all times and be very close so they don’t take off
“Rayna was an outstanding house sitter, and I recommend her without hesitation. She took wonderful care of our dog and cats, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after while we were away. She kept the house spotless, was incredibly responsive throughout our trip, and sent frequent updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Rayna was also friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We came home to happy pets and a perfectly maintained house. We would absolutely book Rayna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy house sitter.”
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.
“Sarah and Mason were very reliable and communicative. Felt comfortable leaving our 3 dogs in their care for an extended amount of time. Would definitely use their services again in the future.”
“First time using a sitting app service. Emma was absolutely fantastic. She went above & beyond to make our Cooper feel comfortable. Very communicative. Lots of pics & videos to keep us in touch.”
“Julia watched our 6 month golden retriever in our home for four days. I was never worried about our dog in her care! She has very open communication and sent us updates each day. I highly recommend her to watch your pet!”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Excellent sitter. Victoria handled one of our dog’s specific mobility needs perfectly. Knowing she had everything under control really eased the separation anxiety for both us and the dogs. The house was left exactly how we found it—couldn't be happier with the choice. Will definitely be booking Victoria for future trips!”
About: Growing up I have always had at least one pet in my home. We have mainly had dogs however in the past I’ve had dogs, a tortoise, and a bunny. I will often take my dogs for walks or help my friends or family members with their dogs. I love spending time with animals and it is honestly the highlight of my day going home and being with my pets. I have been doing rover for about 3 years now and have had many amazing experiences. I have several clients that continue to book with me and I am always looking to add more amazing people to my list. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I will get back as quick as possible! I am currently working full time Tuesday-Sunday mornings however I’m typically available any day after noon. I don’t require much notice before booking as long as my calendar says I am available. I will be patient and gentle with any animals my client may have and ensure there is nothing that could cause the animal harm near the animal. This includes reaching out during any inclement weather conditions.
“Victoria was great! We had her stay at our house for 4 days with our two Goldens. She was very communicative and kept us updated with photos of the dogs, which was extremely welcome and helped us relax a bit more during our long weekend away. I would absolutely recommend Victoria for anyone looking for a kind, caring, responsible dog sitter, and we will certainly be booking her again in the near future!”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine connection I build with every dog I care for. I treat your pup like family—offering not just basic care, but personalized attention, enrichment, and affection tailored to their unique personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or quiet cuddle sessions, I create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels truly at home. With a keen eye for detail and a deep passion for animals, I go the extra mile to ensure both pets and their owners feel confident, comfortable, and cared for. My daily/weekly routine typically revolves around my own pets and what is on the schedule for that day. So be reassured that I would do the same while caring for your pets as well. I work alongside my girlfriend who works from home therefore, your fur babies will always be cared for and attended to through out the whole day. In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where routines are respected and comfort is a priority. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and affection throughout the day, as well as a cozy spot for rest. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether they prefer lots of activity or quiet companionship. Safety is always top priority, with secure spaces and close supervision. In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walk times, medication (if needed), and favorite activities. I keep your home tidy and secure while you’re away, and I always provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
“Maya is the best! She did a great job taking care of our anxious pup and left our house clean and tidy. We loved the updates while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apponaug
Gianna was so wonderful watching Murphy while I was away. He’s a very senior dog and she was nothing but so sweet and caring with him. She stayed with him overnight at my mom’s house and was such a joy to work with. I really appreciate her taking such great care of my old guy!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kharma stayed with this sitter for two weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I received daily updates, photos, and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Kharma was well cared for, engaged, and having a great time. He enjoyed plenty of outdoor time, socialization, and activities, and the sitter followed all of my instructions carefully. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were always responsive, dependable, and professional. This has become my most trusted and frequently used sitter because of their reliability and consistency. Knowing that Kharma is safe, happy, and cared for as if he were their own makes all the difference. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and will absolutely continue booking with them in the future. 🐾❤️
Haylie was hands down the best sitter we have every worked with! She was extremely thorough, professional, and so loving to our beagle, border collie, and three parrots. She followed every instruction to a T and even went above and beyond to take the trash out / clean up the place before we came back from our vacation. We were so worried after moving away from Providence that it would be harder to find good sitters, but Haylie is a god-send! She sent us many updates about each of the pets daily and we had no worries in the slightest while on our vacation! Will definitely book with her again.
Jasmine was absolutely amazing! We were so grateful to have her stay at our house with our two pups while we were gone for the weekend. She went above and beyond, sent plenty of updates and the pups loved her! We already booked her for another weekend, I highly highly recommend!!
She was amazing with my German Shepherd puppy and my 8-year-old husky. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell they were very well cared for and getting lots of attention. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her!
Tanya is amazing! She took the best care of my two pups over a two-week house sit. She kept the dogs on their routine and gave them lots of steps, play time, and snuggles. She sent tons of photos so we never worried, and was super responsive to all communications. She is responsible, reliable, and has a truly gifted way with animals! Our dogs were calm and content when we came home, so we knew they were comfortable with her. We will definitely ask her to sit for us again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Apponaug
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Apponaug on Rover is $55.5 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 1,578 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Apponaug. 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 Apponaug 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 Apponaug 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 Apponaug 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.
