“Rayna was an outstanding house sitter, and I recommend her without hesitation. She took wonderful care of our dog and cats, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after while we were away. She kept the house spotless, was incredibly responsive throughout our trip, and sent frequent updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind. Rayna was also friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. We came home to happy pets and a perfectly maintained house. We would absolutely book Rayna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy house sitter.”
“Sabrina did a fabulous job watching our dogs while we were out of town. She came over first to meet my dogs and was always quick when replying and she sent pictures of our dogs while she was here with them. I would highly recommend using Sabrina to take are of your fur babies!”
“Sophia was wonderful, she took such special care of our Border Collie Goose! He has terrible separation anxiety and Sophia barely left his side for straight week. I came home to happy dog and a very clean house. We will absolutely have her again and would highly recommend her.”
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.
“Victoria did an excellent job with communication and picture updates. We returned to a well kept member of the family and a house in the same condition as left. We would not hesitate to have Victoria look after Rudder and our home again.”
“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.”
“This was our second time using Shannon to stay at our house with our dog. We were away for a week and Shannon gave me multiple updates daily about Tucker. She made herself available as needed around our flight schedules and she was very responsive over text. Shannon left the house in perfect condition and went the extra mile to wash and change the linens, take out the trash and bring in the mail. I will absolutely be using Shannon again. Thank you!!”
“Dina was wonderful! My cat is 14, diabetic insulin dependent twice daily. She was very attentive to Raisin and myself, sending picture updates and staying in regular communication. I really appreciate all of her efforts in making what could be a stressful situation much more pleasant. I will be using her services again in the future and am so grateful. Thank you, Dina!”
“We were visiting on vacation and wanted someone to sit with our senior pup while we explored the town a bit. Gracie was great. She helped us out on short notice and was very nice and took great care of Bruce allowing us to be able torelax and enjoy the day worry free knowing he was in good hands!”
About: I may be new to professional pet sitting, but caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. As a certified yoga instructor, I’m patient, calm, dependable, and attentive to the needs of both people and animals. I also help care for my 92-year-old mother, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for pets belonging to friends and family and understand that every animal has its own personality and routine. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior needing extra patience, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, so you can travel with peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m used to creating a calm, consistent routine with feeding, playtime, walks, companionship, and keeping pets comfortable in their own home. As a yoga instructor, I value patience, mindfulness, and being present, which carries over into the care I provide for pets. I believe pets feel most secure when they can stay in their own familiar environment and keep their normal routines. When caring for pets in their home, I will provide a safe, calm, and loving presence while respecting your home and your pet’s needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain feeding and medication schedules, provide companionship and playtime, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved.
“Alexandra was fabulous! I don't think my dog knew the difference between her and me! I felt very comfortable with her in my house and with my sweet pup. She sent lots of pictures and texts. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Kotone was the perfect solution when we had to go out of town for a few nights! Our AmStaff loved them and they even won over our cats, who are often wary of strangers and stay hidden. Kotone sent some pictures from the visit and even our most skittish cat was enjoying pets :) They were very pleasant and respectful of our home. We will definitely keep Kotone in mind for future travels.”
About: I love pets and house keeping and would love to help you with yours! I take pride in offering thorough care to put you at ease when you go away. I look forward to working for you and your pets! I work a part time job that is extremely flexible and allows me to work from home, meaning I can look after your pets in the exact way you want! I can spend as little or as much time as you want with them! I want your pets to feel like they are on vacay with me! I keep to them on their same routine while also giving them a little extra care since you are away. That way they won't be too sad while you are gone.
“Kemba is great! The dogs love him and he leaves the house just as you left it. Recommend to anybody who wants dog sitting and house sitting services :)”
“Annika was amazing. We called her on short notice to stay at our home for 11 nights. She was responsive, loved on our 2 pups and left our home better than how we left it. I would absolutely use her again and refer her to others.”
“Francis was great! Our 2 cats were happy and healthy when we got home after being gone for over a week. She was also great at responding to texts, and left our home pretty much exactly as we had left it. She is super sweet and will definitely recommend her to take care of your critters.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Kingstown
Holly was great. We recently moved to the area and had a trip planned out of town within a week of the move. We totally forgot to find care for the dogs! I checked Rover, interviewed a couple of people and chose Holly. She is calm and relaxed seemed to take great care of the dogs because they were calm and relaxed when we returned home after 4 days away. She stayed in our home and left it clean and neat. She even stripped the bed which I appreciated even though I wasn't expecting her to. We'll definitely hire Holly again.
I had to rush down to NY and PA last minute over the NYE holiday and Luigina was the New Years miracle for my family. She responded quickly and was thorough in assessing my dogs’ needs to make sure it was a good fit for all of us. She kept me updated the whole time sending me photos of my Henry and Jesse. If you are thinking about booking with her, stop thinking about it and just do it. I promise you won’t regret it.
I have never felt more secure and relaxed with someone watching my babies (dogs)!! Abigail was amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure my pups were well taken care of. I received several photos and frequent check-ins. She exceeded my expectations. We will definitely be reaching out again when we need a sitter❤️.

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 North Kingstown 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 North Kingstown 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 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!
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.
