About: I have over 12 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I provide feeding, walks, drop in visits, playtime, enrichment, and medication administration with patience and care. I grew up with two Dachshunds and two Border Collies, which gave me experience with both energetic working dogs and smaller companion breeds. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from pugs to Bernese Mountain Dogs, as well as young cats, senior cats, and foster cats preparing for their forever homes. What sets me apart is my calm, structured, and dependable approach. I understand how important routines are for pets and work hard to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also clean, tidy, respectful in clients’ homes, and committed to providing trustworthy care you can rely on. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and maintaining consistent care schedules. I am a teacher with the summers off. I prioritize reliability, communication, and routine so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m flexible with walks, drop ins, and feeding schedules. I make sure each pet gets individual attention, exercise, affection, and care based on their specific needs and energy level. I always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and any household rules to keep pets comfortable. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior so I can respond calmly and appropriately to their needs. I keep homes clean and tidy, ensure doors and gates are secure. Building trust with both pets and owners is extremely important to me, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect.

About: I am experienced taking care of multiple dogs at the same time. I'm skilled in training puppies and attending to the special needs of senior dogs. I'm also experienced in providing medication and dealing with medical emergencies. I'm a dog mom of two Goldendoodles. My top priority is to give your dog their best day! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I know how difficult coordinating pet care can be. I can accept same day appointments and can make adjustments when needed. All pets in my home are treated like my own. Dogs are allowed in all areas of my home including all furniture. I keep pets engaged, happy, and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard that dogs may come and go as frequently as they want.

About: I have taken care of and grown up around dogs and cats my entire life. Patience and learning the pets personality is, in my opinion, the most important aspect of pet care. I treat every pet like they are my own, with kindness and respect! I look forward to meeting your pet! I just moved back to Newport from NYC and am looking to fill my time. I am currently between jobs, so I thought what better time than now to focus on another passion of mine, pet care! I will treat your pet with care and comfort they require. I am very communicative and ensure updates to you, as I know putting your trust in someone to care for your pet can be stressful. I want to make any visits or walks with your pet as low stress as possible, for both you and your pet! Trust is very important with a pet and getting to know them is my main goal.

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 also offer pet portraits! When we do a meet and greet, I can show you some physical samples of my work. You can also check out my photo gallery for some photos of the pet portraits! 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.

About: Hi, I’m Isabel! I love making sure every pup in my care feels right at home. My husband, Shawn, works fully remotely, and our dog-savvy 10-year-old son loves having furry friends around. We have two dog-friendly rescues, Stevie and Griggs, who are also happy to welcome visiting pups into our home. Stevie was actually a former client who became family, so we know firsthand how special these bonds can be! When your dog stays with us, they become part of our everyday routines. From walks and playtime to simply relaxing together at home, we want every pup to feel comfortable, included, and loved. Think of it as a little staycation with plenty of companionship and a home away from home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Reach out to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. I’m currently working part-time and I go for long walks daily, so I have plenty of time to provide care for your beloved animal friends! I believe pets are family members; anytime I visit a home, I’m a guest of the pet as well! While you’re away (out of town or at work) I’ll make sure that your pet is comfortable at home!

About: I’ve been around animals since the beginning of my life. I grew up with cats & dogs, small & large. I started learning about dog training in 2020, I trained my first service dog in 2022. I’m always working to learn more & continuously improve my knowledge. Body language is a huge factor when it comes to taking care of dogs & making sure they’re comfortable in their environment. I’m great with puppies as well & can help out with basic training. Any questions please feel free to ask! I work from home, so I start my day by taking my dog out to our apartment property’s dog park to use the bathroom, & get play time in, then I bring him in to feed him breakfast. If dog parks make you uncomfortable, I can always take your dog when the parks unoccupied. For meal time I make sure all dogs are separated from each others food. If your dog has trouble eating I always keep toppers on hand or different types of food such as, raw/cooked/air dried/& freeze dried. In the case there’s a medical emergency we have an emergency vet 15 mins down the road. If your dog needs to be crated when left unsupervised or for bedtime we have a crate sized for medium/large breeds. Animals are allowed on furniture & the living room is dog proof with lots of toys & beds, we keep the kitchen & bathroom off limits to prevent anyone from getting into something they’re not supposed to have. My dog has also been trained to be gentle with small animals as well to make sure everyone is comfortable & safe in their environment. If your dog eats too fast I offer slow feeders in my home.

About: With over five years of experience in dog sitting, I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a dedicated pet owner and passionate animal lover, I understand the importance of providing attentive, compassionate, and reliable care. My services include dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits, ensuring that your pet receives the exercise, companionship, and attention they deserve. I am highly dependable and committed to maintaining open communication, providing regular updates tailored to your preferences so you always feel connected to your pet’s well-being. As a local student at Rhode Island College, I am available year-round to offer flexible and consistent care. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, and I look forward to giving them the same love and attention I would my own. I am available seven days a week, all day long, ensuring that I have ample time to care for, engage with, and provide your dog(s) with the attention and affection they deserve. Your pet will receive dedicated, personalized care, plenty of playtime, and all the love and companionship they need to feel happy and secure. I have a fenced-in yard with one shih tzu who will be a good companion to play with ! However, if your dog is shy or is not good around other dogs, I can always crate your dog for you or keep my own dog to the side so they don't come in contact! I have a separate residence where I can keep my own dog at if there is any worries :)

About: Hi there! I'm Jamie. I've always had a strong love and connection with animals. I've had cats since I was a little girl and I'd take in and love a skunk, squirrel and chipmunk if I could! I've had 2 dogs of my own throughout the years, right now I have 1 dog, 2 cats and a bearded dragon all who get along very very well with each other as well as other animals and people. I was a head Vet Technician at an animal hospital for 3 years. There I dealt not only with feeding, bathing/grooming, the handling of sick and healthy animals of all kinds, boarding, surgery recovery, medicine administration and overall care of the animals but also cleaning, sanitizing and bedding of sleep/living areas for them. I have experience with handling plenty of loving, friendly fur babies and I do also have experience with those few feisty stubborn ones! I get it we all have bad days! I'm a friendly, outgoing, enthusiastic animal lover full of love and excitement for the babies! I understand life can get busy trying to provide the best for our pets and I'm here to help! Now accepting new clients! Looking forward to hearing from you! =) I am self employed and basically make my own schedule so my availability for your pet care is rather flexible. Openings are as seen in the calendar and will be updated as appointments are scheduled. I typically start about 10am until about 6-7pm (drop ins and daycare) but again I am open depending on what it is you need/are looking for. Please feel free to reach out and we can discuss what you're looking for, what works best for you and we can plan accordingly. No matter what the pet is cared for precisely as the client asks. In their home any messes from pets will always been cleaned up even if just for a pop in. Your home is your home and that is respected 100 percent. For my home, the pet still will go by precisely what the client asks. They are accepted into my home as if they are another one of my own pets. In this house the animals are allowed on the furniture and to sleep in bed with me if that's what they are comfortable with. I live on a dead end with a small creek behind my home. I have long leads and plenty of grass in a safe, secluded, quiet, peaceful, animal friendly area for potty breaks and outside play time. I have some clients that like to have a picture sent to them of their fur baby each visit which I'm always more than happy to do! Who doesn't love receiving a little photo shoot of their beloved pet!?

“Tammy is a gem! She took care of my 6-moth-old kitten while I was away for a weekend and I (and the kitten) couldn’t have been happier with her services! This was my first time leaving Nashira alone so was a bit nervous, but Tammy took the time to do a meet and greet with us before I headed out to familiarize herself with the ins and outs of Nashira’s care. I highly reccomend her, and will definitely be booking again.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and attentive pet lover who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From energetic pups who need long walks and playtime to older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra patience, I’m confident in adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, crate training, and reinforcing any habits or routines you already have in place. My services include walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention to make sure your pet stays happy and stress-free. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of needs, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s space. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾 I currently work hybrid, Monday thru Thursday at office from 8-4 with ability to come home for lunch or end day early if needed. Fridays, I work remote. Sundays I got to church and then pretty much a home body rest of the day I prefer to stay at clients home so the fur baby is never alone. I’m currently not taking any pets to my place as it’s a rented room, but will absolutely be happy to stay the night

About: I have taken care of my pets for years, mainly cats, but I have experience with dogs as well. Either way, I love both the same! I am able to administer medications, follow diet guidelines, and take care of accidents that may occur. And most of all, I can provide a cuddle or snuggle and unconditional love for your fur baby or babies! I currently have a part time job, but will be able to take care of animals full time soon! For now I can take care of animals Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. I have one cat at the moment, I have helped to take care of him along with my parents for over 11 years. In recent years, as he ages, he has needed more medications which I have helped to administer, he is on a special diet and he also has some tummy troubles occasionally that I have helped to clean up. I also had a second cat that I took care of at the same time who needed a lot more care. He was a small, sensitive Siamese who was extremely overbred and who suffered from a lot of stomach issues. The two cats didn’t get along so the Siamese ended up living mainly in my room and our other cat had the run of the house since he had arrived in the family first.

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - North Kingstown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in North Kingstown is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $36 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 2,037 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across North Kingstown. 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.

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 North Kingstown 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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in North Kingstown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.

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.
