“We had Katie stay with our dog Zeke when we were away. We enjoyed meeting her and it was obvious to us that she loves and cares for the animals she sees. Katie was very communicative and responsive when we had questions before, during and after her stay. She sent many pictures that gave us peace of mind that our pup was happy. We will definitely be using her again.”


About: Experienced with a wide range of breeds, sizes, energy levels, and play styles, from active working and sporting breeds to relaxed companion dogs. I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, personality, and routine. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a 5 year old Blue Heeler mix and no children, so I have lots of free time for pet care I want to keep your pet’s day as routine as possible, whether that requires set walking, enrichment, or nap times. I will ensure my time with them is comforting and fun.

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 taken care of friends and neighbors dogs for years, as well as my childhood dog. I have also volunteered at the local dog shelter for years. I have a dog of my own, and if your dog is socialized they can be play buddies! I currently have a part time job so my schedule is very flexible and open! I can try my best to work with your schedule. I am open to whatever environment your pet feels most comfortable in and am willing to do whatever is needed for them to be comfortable.
“Trish was great with our three (kind of high maintenance) cats. They loved her immediately! She took good care of them and our house while we were out of town. We are so grateful that our cats loved her so much!”

About: I have been a dedicated dog owner for the past 8 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pets. I regularly helped care for my brother’s 16-year-old dog, gaining valuable experience with the extra patience, attention, and support that older dogs require. In addition, I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since high school. I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care so your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. As a PA student, my schedule changes monthly, but I often work only three 12-hour shifts per week. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care during weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, medications, or just extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing!
“Kaitlynn was exceptional! She delivered on the elements we would hope for when caring for our dog. She communicated clearly and timely with relevant updates that gave us piece of mind. She took the time to listen and get to know and understand our anxious and sometimes reactive cattle dog, giving him the physical exercise he needed along with the mental stimulation. She went above and beyond and we would highly recommend Kaitlynn.”


“Eden was fantastic! She was a great communicator, super accommodating with all the quirks of apartment living, and took wonderful care of our dog. We came home to a clean apartment and, most importantly, a very happy pup! Everything was easy and stress-free from start to finish. We would absolutely book with Eden again. 10/10 recommend!”

My schedule allows me to visit or walk your pet after work, Mondays to Thursdays (7 am or 6 pm), and anytime from Friday to Sunday.

About: With over 30 years of experience owning, training, and caring for animals, I bring a lifetime of hands-on knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet in my care. My experience includes horses, dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small reptiles, as well as a variety of exotic animals. My experience with dogs includes German Shepherds and retired racing Greyhounds, along with many other breeds. I also have extensive experience caring for tropical birds, including Macaws and Cockatoos. In addition, I am comfortable caring for freshwater and saltwater fish, cats, reptiles, and a wide variety of other animals. I have recently been pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters and have received all five-star reviews from the families I have cared for. I will be returning to the New England area in early October and look forward to offering my services through Rover as well. Your pets are family, and I understand how important it is to leave them in the hands of someone experienced, dependable, and caring. I look forward to meeting you and providing your beloved animals with the attentive, loving care they deserve. I’m currently retired and enjoying a wonderful adventure traveling around the country while caring for beloved pets and homes along the way! 🐾❤️ I’ll be returning to Rhode Island at the end of September and am excited to start booking pet- and house-sitting opportunities again. If you’re looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after your pets while you’re away, I’d love to hear from you! I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting some new furry friends, too. 🐶🐱🏡 When you’re away, I want you to feel completely confident that your beloved pets are safe, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home. 🐾❤️ As a trusted pet sitter, I provide personalized care based on your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. I keep their normal schedule as much as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I believe pets are happiest in familiar surroundings, so I make staying home a comfortable and stress-free experience for them. I’ll also care for your home with the same respect and attention I give your pets, keeping things tidy and secure while you’re away. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax and enjoy your time away, knowing your furry family members are in caring, dependable hands. 🐶🐱🐾
“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”


“Outstanding! Daily pictures and updates. Spent hours actively engaged with Athena (the 80# gsd) each day. She was healthy and happy on our return. We (the people) were able to relax and enjoy our trip with any worry. Xinwei is and kind, gentle person, and Athena loved him from the very first meeting. We returned to find the house cleaner than when we left it! Additionally, he is a fantastic communicator and I recommend him without any concerns at all!”

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!
About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.

The average cost of House Sitting in Charlestown is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $105 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
