“Julia was amazing! She was so communicative and we got home to a happy and healthy pup (and a 100% clean apartment!) I could tell she was spending a lot of time with our buddy and really appreciated her attention and support. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I have been taking care of my own dog since I was 12 years old. I have recently started dog sitting for others in the last 2-3 years. I have the most experience with medium to large sized dogs and have no issues with the small dogs as well! I love to take the dogs I watch for walks/hikes around the area (if they are able to). I have experience with up to two dogs at a time as well as senior-aged dogs. I work in the public schools during the school year, but during the summer I am free much more often to take care of all your pet needs. I am available most weekdays and weekends for house sitting, dog walking or just stopped-in services for potty breaks. I have been actively dog sitting for 3-4 years now. I take the utmost care of your pets as well as your home! I will make sure to leave your home in the same state or better than it was when I entered your home. I know how important pets and animals can be and I can 100% be trusted with your animals and your home!
“Leesha was amazing with our pups. She kept us updated and sent just the right amount of pictures to show they were doing well and well cared for. Ace my rottweiler is not good with stranger's but he immediately loved Leesha which put my family at ease as this was our biggest concern using Rover for the first time and leaving our dogs with a stranger.”
“Carissa took excellent care of our two cats! Sent daily photos and texts which is so reassuring! She even put down ice melt for us when we got snow. Highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“Jenna took excellent care of my cat Voodoo while I was away. She spent time with him daily and saw that he was well fed and kept him company. She is pleasant and professional. I would be happy to employ her again.”

“Sam did an amazing job taking care of our two pups while we were away recently for six days! She was so kind, attentive, and communicated with us the whole time, sending us updates and pictures. We will definitely have her over again in the future. Thank you again Sam!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years, I am a huge animal lover. For neighbors, friends, family, all dogs and cats big and small I have so much love for them all. I work part time as a CNA, I only work a few days a week so I am available to watch your pups! I work every other weekend so i’d be available for boarding on my off weekends. I have a large yard and my dog gets taken out on a leash, I have a puppy so I am familiar with crate training and house training.
“Alyssa jumped in to watch my boys at the last minute and as always, goes above and beyond! She is always very communicative and tends to them as if they were hers. They boys love her and we appreciate all her kindness.”
About: I’ve pet sat with my moms business since I was about 10, and over 18 years have taken care of many animals. I love to play with the animals, my goal is that when I’m rehired the come to the door to greet me to play with them. I work part time and can do mornings and overnights before and after work. I also get breaks on shifts that I can stop in and visit. I cannot do my own home, but can take care of the animals at their home where they’re more comfortable. Besides just feeding them, walking them or taking them out, it’s important to play with them and keep them entertained. Which always entertains me.
About: I'm a lifelong pet caregiver with over 10 years of daily, hands-on experience caring for dogs. From childhood, my home included dogs and cats. Caring for them has been part of my everyday life. Not just feeding and exercise, but understanding personalities, the importance of routines and individual needs. I'm the pet parent of 3 French Bulldogs whom I've raised from puppyhood. They are now 10 months, 10 years and my eldest just passed the 🌈 bridge. Raising them has given me extensive experience across all life stages. From energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring daily medications, extra patience and care. Because of this, I have advanced experience in the unique needs and care of brachycephalic breeds, including breathing and temperature sensitivities, appropriate exercise levels and age-related health needs. I work from home, which allows me to provide constant supervision (if necessary), flexibility and plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm available for dog walking, drop in visits, day care, and boarding. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, medication schedules, and specific routines. My own dogs require precise care plans, so I fully understand how important it is that your pet's instructions are followed exactly. Keeping your pet’s routine as close to how it is when they’re home with you is a priority for me. Following familiar routines helps alleviate their stress, build trust and ease into comfort while they are in my care. My dogs are friendly and accustomed to being around other pets. All of my dogs are intact, so I ask that owner's disclose whether their dogs are intact or in heat prior to booking. This allows me to thoughtfully plan and recommend the most appropriate service - such as visits to your home instead of boarding in mine - so everyone remains safe, comfortable and stress free. Pets in my home are welcome on furniture. I use careful management and positive handling techniques to ensure harmony when pets share space. I'm always mindful of body language and prioritize their safety and comfort. When your pet is in my care, you can expect regular photo updates and communication from arrival to departure so you always feel informed and reassured. I take pride in being attentive, reliable and genuinely invested in your pet's well-being! I work from home full-time, so my schedule is very flexible. I can take 2-3 breaks during the work day to walk your pet if they are staying with me, or stop by your home for potty and walk breaks. If they are staying with me for day care or boarding, I can meet your pet where they are in terms of potty, walk, and play breaks, as well as forced nap times, if necessary. I have several ways to manage the space in my home between pets, to ensure everyone is safe, comfortable and happy. I have 3 crates, baby gates, several pet beds and endless toys. Our yard has a fenced in area to ensure safe potty breaks.
“Emily was wonderful! She communicated the entire time and sent reassuring pictures of my little girl getting all the cuddles she needed. She was also very respectful of my space and left the house in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend Emily and will book her again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Moira was absolutely wonderful to my pup. She was very understanding and patient when I told her that my dog is pretty scared at first and she took the time to get to know my dog so that Ruby was comfortable. Amazing communication with me throughout her stay and gave me updates on how things were going along with awesome pics. Thank you so much Moira!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 8 years! I have sat for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and more! I am always up for the task when it comes to animals! From longs walks to outdoor play I am your girl! If your dog likes going on adventures and likes the car I am your girl. As well as having three days off during the week and working brunch on Saturdays I have a lot of free time to spend with your pets! Open to overnights, pop in's or just walks! Making sure pets get the most attention possible is a priority to me. Snuggles and toys is the most important part. If your pet is comfortable. I am only available to stay in clients homes.
“We had an amazing experience with Kimberly! She stayed at our home for five nights with our two dogs and took such great care of them. Her communication was excellent. She checked in regularly and sent us pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pups were clearly comfortable and well-loved. We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Meghan was an excellent house sitter. She has earned and maintains our trust with both our house and our pets. We would definitely book with her again. She is tidy, professional, and communicates exceptionally well. A+++”
About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and helping out with friends’ and family members’ pets. I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and basic training reinforcement. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and energy level and do my best to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. my dog struggles with anxiety, so I also have some experience dealing with that. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility and availability for pet care. I’m available on weekends and typically have flexibility with my scheduling during typical working hours (9-5) to care for your pet! I’m happy to work around your pets normal routine for walks, feeding, playtime and check ins. I treat pets like I treat my own, with patience, consistency, and close attention. I carefully follow any instructions you leave, keep pets secure on walks or in the home, and check in if I have any questions. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first.
About: A few years back, I drove my brother’s dog across the country from CA to RI thats where dogsitting began for me. I have flown with a cat from FL to NJ. Now I try to stay stationary and watch dogs in their homes. I stay active and like to go on runs or walk the beach, hang out in the garden and play fetch in the yard. Would like to find dogs that I will watch again down the road. Most people that hire me that is the case, whether they are going on a weekend getaway or a two week trip Flexible with work, can manage on a day to day basis on what the pup(s) need. I am an early riser. I enjoy a walk in the morning. I will follow directions to what the owners say to do. Usually have a sense of the dogs behavior and needs. Following directions is my strong suit.

FAQs for House Sitting - Little Compton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,245 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Little Compton. 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 Little Compton 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 Little Compton 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 Little Compton 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.
