About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs for the past couple of years. I started with family and friends animals and have recently started watching other peoples animals and I really enjoy it. I’ve walked, bathed, feed and swam with pets. I work part time at a movie theater and have a flexible schedule and can request days off if need be or work in the morning rather than night and vise versa if you need morning care. I Can crate dogs if needed, I won’t feed your pet anything unless okayed by owner first. I live to take pictures of animals so I can provide updates if needed. I enjoy walking and running with animals so if they need a walk outside or a ball thrown around a fenced yard I would be happy to do so.

About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up having multiple dogs and cats at a time. I have helped by grandma, neighbors and family friends with dog sitting, bathing, and walking since I was young. I love cats and their personality! I am unfazed by cleaning up after animals and am a professional litter box cleaner. I would consider my professional experience to be close to 7 years (definitely longer but I have been reimbursed for my services for the past 7 years). I’m currently very flexible with my schedule, which allows me to easily work around your needs and your pet’s routine! Whether your furry friend needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, feeding, companionship, or some extra playtime and attention, I’m happy to be there. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’m more than happy to accommodate their schedule as much as possible. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away or busy. Whether you need occasional help or more regular care, I’m flexible and willing to work with you to find a schedule that works best for everyone! I currently live with roommates, so unfortunately I’m unable to accommodate pets in my own home. However, I’m more than happy to travel to your home to care for your pets! I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any other care they may need in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!

About: Animals have always been a massive part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs of various sizes and breeds, so I’m highly adaptable to different temperaments and energy levels. I’m also fully experienced with cat care and love giving back to the pet community by volunteering at the Charlestown animal shelter. I treat every guest like a member of my own family, ensuring they get the exact structure, love, and care they are used to at home. With full-time open availability right now, my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am home throughout the day and ready to provide your pets with constant supervision, structured playtime, and plenty of love and attention I offer a calm, quiet, and pet-safe condo environment that is absolutely perfect for small-to-medium dogs or cats who thrive on one-on-one attention. Because I don't have resident pets, your fur baby will be the sole focus of my care! For outdoor time, we will enjoy frequent, structured walks on a secure leash around the neighborhood for potty breaks and fresh air. Inside, my home is a peaceful sanctuary where your pet can relax, feel completely safe, and get endless cuddles on the couch

Newport, RI, 02840

About: Hi, I’m Reagan! I’m a dog trainer based in Newport with nine years of professional pet care experience, and I’ve been around dogs quite literally since birth. My own dog, Wrecker, is a Malinois mix, so if your dog is strong on leash, has very big feelings about squirrels, or needs a little extra room when another dog passes, I’m more than comfortable with that! I work with dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels, from puppies figuring out the leash to seniors who like to read every tree on the block. I’ll give a shy dog time to warm up, and I’m just as happy spending time with an easygoing dog who wants a good sniff and some company. In other words, dog? Yes, please. On walks, I’ll use the cues your dog already knows and choose a route and pace that suit them. For drop-ins, I’ll stick to their usual routine, whether that’s dinner and a potty break or a game of fetch. When I house sit, I’ll keep the little things familiar, right down to how your dog settles in at night. I work part-time and plan my week ahead, so we’ll talk through the timing and how much company your dog needs before we book. I’ll send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. Dog care is already part of my everyday routine. I work part-time and plan my week ahead, so I’m happy to set up regular walks or drop-ins and take one-time bookings when I have room. Tell me what timing works best for your dog, especially if they have a set mealtime or potty schedule. For house sitting, we’ll talk through when I’ll be there and any time I’d need to step out before we book. I know how much trust it takes to hand someone your keys and your dog’s leash. I’ll check that their gear is secure before we head out, give them space around distractions when they need it, and double-check that your home is locked when I leave. I’m easy to reach through Rover, and I’ll ask what kind of updates you like, whether that’s a quick check-in or a few photos and videos. If your dog seems off or something unexpected comes up, I’ll reach out promptly. You’ll also get a route map in your Rover Card after walks. If you use a pet camera in a common area, I’m comfortable with that. Just give me a heads-up before we book.

About: Looking for someone reliable, caring and attentive to take care of your furry friend(s)? Look no further! I’ve always been an animal-lover at heart, but I’ve also had the experience in pet care that you’re looking for. I was raised in a home that always had a pair of golden retrievers, and I quickly learned the responsibility of taking care of them from their early years well into adulthood. I know how to properly feed, train and give a pup the loving attention they need. I am great at taking any specific directions that may be needed in my supervising your pup, and I am also accommodating to all personality types; whether your pup is shy or playful and outgoing. I have had plenty of experience in house-sitting for neighbors, time and time again I have been the one they have turned to because of my reliability and trustworthiness. I have also had experience caring for cats as well, and have a cat of my own at home. I’m flexible with which ever type of furry friend you have, and look forward to meeting you guys! I am currently working remote, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am happy to provide in-home care or any drop-in type of care if preferred. Considering I have my own pets at home, I think it would be best for me to provide in-home care instead of caring for them in my own space. I would want your dog or cat to be the most comfortable while in my care, and find that it would probably be beneficial to keep them in their own environment, especially if they are not comfortable around other dogs or cats. Their comfort and happiness is my first priority!

We would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for pet care and/or housesitting!”

About: From the day I was born, I was living with animals. I grew up with 2 cats from birth who I loved and cared for young. We grew our family to two more cats and 3 more dogs over the next 28 years providing a nurturing environment for all. I own rental properties and and all my earned income is freelance so I’m very flexible when it comes to providing times to fill your needs! Every animal is different and I’m fully capable of adapting to all of your pet’s unique needs. My first priority is catering to your pet to provide the living experience they have every day with your family!

FAQs for House Sitting - Charlestown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Charlestown is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $106 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 762 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Charlestown. 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 Charlestown 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 Charlestown 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 Charlestown 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 Charlestown. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
