“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.”
“Rebecca is wonderful. She helped us last minute when we needed it and took care of our two pups. One of our dogs is recovering from a surgery and Rebecca did a great job managing his meds and the physical therapy he needed daily. I would 10/10 recommend her and look forward to working with her again the in future.”
About: Took a little time off to Travel Nurse but I’m back!! ☺️ I’m a dog mom and a Nurse of 13years. Dog mom to a very friendly snorkie named Gronk (Go Pats! lol) I’ve had him for 10 years, & a 2 year old Pomsky named Skyler who is the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen, with bright blue eyes 🩵 We spend a lot of time outside (when the weather permits) it’s a short walk to the beach from my house & I also have a fully fenced in back yard! I do outside Potty breaks every 2-4 hours, which can be adjusted according to your fur baby’s needs. I can keep any feeding schedule you already have in place.
“Isabel is fantastic with my two big dogs! They have various health concerns and lots of energy, and she made us feel so comfortable with all the great updates/photos while staying at our house for the long weekend. Not only is she a wonderful house guest, we can tell how much our dogs truly enjoy spending time with her!”
“Sarah was exceptional! She took such good care of our cat Keagan and communicated with us daily, sending pictures of them interacting. She was very responsible and left our home as clean as we left it. She paid attention to details and went above and beyond. We highly recommend Sarah and would hire her again without question.”
“Georgia was kind enough to do a meet and greet whuch really put us at ease. Georgia was responsive, wonderfully attentive with the girls, brought a package in that arrived while we were gone, extremely neat, and she sent us daily photos and little check-in/updates. We will definitely book Georgia again for our future trips for house sitting and taking care of our girls June Bug and Frisbee (cats)!”
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for the past 8 years and have always loved being around animals. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines and instructions so pets stay happy and comfortable. I’m also comfortable giving medications if needed and following detailed care instructions. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal with patience and kindness. Pet care fits well into my routine and I have flexible availability. I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the day depending on the pet’s needs. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication routines if needed. I take safety and routine seriously when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, medications, walks, and house rules. I make sure pets feel comfortable and keep a calm environment while they’re in my care. I also provide updates so owners know their pets are safe and doing well.
“Sam was absolutely awesome taking care of my Dixie and Tobi. She stayed in my house for 11 days with them and they loved her. She is caring and pays very close attention to detail. I highly recommend Sam. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of my babies.”
About: I have been a pet owner my whole life including dogs, cats, rabbit, gerbils, and more. I started volunteering when I was 12 at my local humane society, where I would sit with dogs to comfort them while they wait for their forever home. While I was in college I also started to foster, I fostered 3 cats and a dog over several months. Since I have always had pets, I have helped train puppies, and with senior animal medical care. I have also worked with special needs/trauma (ex. epileptic, male aggression, previous owners abuse, anxiety). I have house sat for my parents, extended family, and family friends. I am looking forwards to cherishing your furbabies, their new best friend awaits! I have just moved back to the states after living in Europe with my partner. We are starting a new chapter and I want to use rover as a way to make money and to help us save for our next steps. It would be my main focus, in my very flexible schedule. As such I will be available for your pet's needs anytime and anywhere. I have worked with all kinds of animals with different needs and will be able to provide whatever you and your pet(s) require. I am fun-loving and friendly, with a huge soft-spot for any animal. My approach centers around trust-building with your pet, making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I'm willing to visit your house multiple times a day and entertain your prescious babies, walk them multiple times, stay the night if necessary. I can take them to dog parks if they like that, parks if not. Your pet will barely notice that you are absent (besides missing their wonderful parent/s)!
About: Hi! I'm Andolina, but everyone calls me "Nina" 😊 I have a degree in Animal Science and several years of experience as a veterinary technician. Working at animal clinics, and an emergency animal hospital, I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities and am comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets, administering medications, special diets, and animals who need a little extra TLC. I'm the person who will happily send you way too many pictures while you're away, make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine, and give them plenty of attention and affection. If your pets are spoiled members of the family, we're probably going to get along just fine! I understand that finding and inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big deal. I'm a responsible, respectful adult who will treat your home with care, as I do my own. I keep things clean and secure while caring for your pet. I'm based in Warwick and am happy to travel to surrounding areas for house sitting. Whether your pet needs an overnight buddy, some snuggles and comfort while you're away, or someone experienced in caring for specific needs, I'd love to meet you both! I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and good daytime availability throughout the week. This allows me to easily fit in walks, feedings, potty breaks, and check-ins while still giving each pet plenty of attention. I'm available for overnight stays two weeknights and one weekend night each week. I'm happy to follow your pets normal routine while you're away. I like to keep things as close to your pets’ normal routine as possible. I’ll follow whatever routines and house rules you have — Dogs on the bed? ✅ No animals on the furniture? ✅ Shoes off at the door and wipe your paws before coming in? ✅ Your pet gets a bedtime snack? Absolutely ✅ ✅ Whatever works in your home, works for me! And when it comes to your home, I treat it with the same respect I’d expect someone to have for mine. I’ll keep things clean, follow your house rules, and make sure everything is in order when you get home. Basically: you give me the instructions, I’ll follow them. Your pets get spoiled, your house stays respected, and everyone wins. 🐾
“Xiao was great, very well organized with great communication and she took great care of our older golden retreiver in our home. We would highly recommend her and will definetly use her again for future House Sitting opportunities.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I have always had pets growing up, and more recently have started dog sitting. I work full time and am very much so busy, but willing to make any changes to my schedule to fit anything that pops up! I am comfortable walking and caring for any size dog. I can take care of daily needs for any dog including brushing, feeding, and playing
“Marie is the best! Our dogs had a wonderful time with her and we felt so safe having them in her care. Marie is an excellent communicator and tended to our home, garden, and two dogs beautifully. We can’t wait to have her back!”
“Anja was great with our two dogs. One of our pups is nervous around new people. Anja was patient and compassionate with her. We felt very comfortable about leaving them with Anja. We knew they were in capable hands.”
“Francis was great! Our 2 cats were happy and healthy when we got home after being gone for over a week. She was also great at responding to texts, and left our home pretty much exactly as we had left it. She is super sweet and will definitely recommend her to take care of your critters.”
“Emily is a fantastic pet sitter! She shows a genuine love for animals with her gentle spirit. Emily communicated with me throughout my trip so I knew the pets were doing well and we dealt with minor issues that came up. I was very concerned to use a pet sitter, but had no choice for this trip and Emily put me at ease. She really loved and cared for my pets. I highly recommend Emily!”
About: I’ve taken care of and owned many pets and have volunteered with an adoption agency as well to help dogs to find their forever homes I work a changing schedule that is very flexible and I love squeezing in as much time with your pets as possible! Message me to come up with the best care plan together! I Will respect any persons home and their rules for their dogs. I enjoy playing and cuddling with all dogs and keeping the active ones busy!
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Apponaug is $60

A million thanks to Victoria for taking the best care of my Mitzie! I have never had someone outside of family care for my pooch and when my travel plans changed last minute I immediately felt comfortable chatting with Victoria and entrusting her with my pups care. She kept me well informed of how Mitzie was doing and was great at sending pics each day. She was extremely responsive and eased my anxiety while I traveled!
Armitage is an A-plus disaster. She stayed in my home with my two dogs, and kept me updated and reassured throughout the stay. This was a last minute booking after another sitter canceled, so we had next to no time to get to know one another before taking a leap of faith with the booking. What a great find! Armitage is conscientious, respectful, attentive and, most importantly, wonderful with the dogs. Highly recommended.
Kyleigh is fantastic! She took great care of our dog and house during a recent trip. While we were away, our dog had a medical emergency and Kyleigh did everything perfectly to ensure that our pet was safe and well-cared for. Her communication was excellent as well. We would definitely have Kyleigh sit for us again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Savana! She stayed in our home with our three dogs for six days, our 14-year-old Westie, 9-year-old Border Collie, and our 7-month-old puppy who had just been spayed, and took amazing care of all of them. Having three dogs of very different ages and needs, especially a puppy recovering from surgery, I was definitely nervous about leaving them. Savana gave me complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with pictures, took them for walks, spent time with them, and even bought our puppy some new toys. It was so clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Being able to go away and not worry about whether the dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for was priceless. We came home to three happy pups and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will absolutely use Savana again, and I already plan to have our senior Westie stay with her in her home when we travel in the future. I can’t recommend her enough!
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!!
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 of House Sitting in Apponaug is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $65 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,543 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apponaug. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
