“Kyleigh is incredible!! She is reliable and easy to communicate with. I have a 4-month old high energy puppy and she is so active and hands on with him! She’s also not bothered by the piranha puppy biting phase! Kyleigh is very accommodating and goes above and beyond to make sure my puppy’s needs are met. She responds quickly to any questions I have and is in constant communication to make sure the puppy needs are fulfilled. She sends the cutest picture and video updates throughout her visit. I will absolutely be having her work with my puppy again!”

“We’ve had the pleasure of having Jean for drop in visits with our chihuahua for the past few months. So happy to have found her. These little dogs aren’t that easy but we feel very assured he is in good hands. Jean helps me navigate the rover app, is reliable and gets back to me promptly.”

“I couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Danielle provided for my 14-year-old cat, Emerson, over the New Year holiday. From the moment I met her, it was clear she’s kind, responsible, and truly loves animals. Emerson, who can be a bit shy with new people, warmed up to Danielle right away, and I knew she was in great hands. Danielle kept me updated with sweet photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away. I could tell Emerson was well-cared for, and I’ll absolutely be booking Danielle again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter!”

“I was in a bind and needed someone to watch my dogs on short notice of about 2 weeks it wasn't sure if I can find anybody. I was looking on Rover and came across Jennifer and all I can say is that my two pups Cosmo and Ginny absolutely loved her! Due to an illness though I had to cut her watching my dog short. She was helpful and took care of everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I am planning more trips in the future, so I know who I will be calling. Thank you again for all your help.”

About: Hello! I'm a passionate and experienced pet care provider who truly loves cats and dogs. With years of hands-on experience, I tailor each pet's care to suit their individual needs, ensuring they receive the attention, affection, and enrichment they deserve. Whether your furry friend is a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a senior companion in need of gentle care, I am dedicated to making their time with me both safe and enjoyable. I believe in using only positive, force-free training methods to interact with pets. Every animal deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, and I work to build trust and understanding through patience and encouragement. In addition to regular care, I am well-versed in creating enriching activities that cater to both cats and dogs. From stimulating games for mental and physical engagement to comfortable relaxation routines, I focus on keeping pets happy and healthy. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets, including administering medications and providing the special attention they often need. Whether it's taking extra time on a walk, helping them get comfortable at home, or ensuring they take their medication on time, I'm here to provide the extra support that senior pets require. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I look forward to providing them with loving, individualized care! Pet care is a key part of my daily routine! I prioritize ensuring every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and enrichment they need. Each day, I dedicate time to provide interactive play, fun activities, and training sessions tailored to the individual needs of both cats and dogs. Whether it's a walk, a game of fetch, or quiet cuddles, I make sure their physical and mental well-being is supported. For pets with special needs or seniors, I always factor in any additional care or medication they require, ensuring they’re comfortable and happy throughout the day. Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a passion, and I love making sure pets feel loved, safe, and entertained while they’re in my care. When a client trusts me in their home I take that responsibility seriously. I treat your space with the utmost respect and follow your instructions to the T. My home features a private, fully fenced yard. My dog is very friendly and loves to play all day. Meet and greet required first to ensure everyone's comfort and safety.

About: I’ve always has a passion for animals since I was a kid! I started pet sitting and dog walking for fun and it became something I loved doing!! It gave me a chance to love and take care of someone one else’s pets besides mine! Weekends, nights, and some weekly available I will have currently but hoping that I will have more availability come the winter! I will update as needed I will not be able to care for pets in my own home for the time being as I still have a puppy. Eventually down the road this is something I would try and be able to do! I am willing to stay in the clients home with a meet and greet prior!

About: My family and I have fostered dogs and cats, and litters of puppies and kittens since I was nine years old. Being homeschooled for a majority of my childhood, I was able to learn about taking care of these needy animals at such a young age. We have fostered dogs and cats of almost all ages, from newborns to adults. Even during the years, my family and I fostered these animals, I’ve had multiple neighbors at a time rely on me to visit and walk their dogs while they’re at work. That is how I got my first job at 11 years old. I’m out of school for the summer, so I am free practically whenever your pups need me! I can drop in/walk daily or weekly, whatever works for you! With my school and work schedule and the living situation I’m in, I don’t currently offer boarding services, but that may change in the future!

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. 🐾

About: Hi, I'm Ella! I'm a lifelong animal lover based in Rhode Island, and I genuinely believe pets are family. My background is in public service and childcare, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, communication, patience, and creating a safe environment for the people (and pets!) who depend on me. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'm happy to adjust to their individual personality and needs. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I make communication a priority. I'll always provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. I have experience caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels, and I'm comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and household rules. When your pet is with me, they'll receive lots of attention, plenty of affection, and the same level of care I'd want for my own pet. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work full-time for the State of Rhode Island and work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I'm also currently pursuing my Master's degree online through the University of Rhode Island, which gives me additional flexibility throughout the week. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine and schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, or extra playtime, I'm committed to providing dependable and personalized care. I take the safety and comfort of both pets and their homes very seriously. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to be respectful of the space, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and keep everything clean, secure, and well cared for. I also have experience working as a Property Manager for Universal Services LLC, which has given me experience with maintaining properties, keeping spaces safe and clean, and being trusted with other people’s homes and belongings. I understand the importance of being responsible, reliable, and respectful when someone is trusting you with their home. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while also giving you peace of mind that your home is in good hands while you’re away.

Kayla was absolutely amazing while I was away in Italy and the Canary Islands. Leaving my cat, Bleu, for such an extended trip was stressful, but Kayla made it so much easier. She took wonderful care of Bleu, kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious how much she genuinely cared about him. When I came home, Bleu was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands while I was halfway around the world. I wholeheartedly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter. Bleu and I are so grateful for everything she did, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Bleu: "Five stars. Please have Kayla come back." 🐈💙

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Apponaug

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Apponaug is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $35 per visit. 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 2,634 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Apponaug. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apponaug. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
