“Carly was AMAZING! It was our first time having a pet sitter stay in our house and it was for an extended period of time. Finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter was my main concern for our trip, but Carley alleviated all of my concerns. She sent regular photos and updates, and we came back to our home in perfect condition. All of the animals love her and I already have her booked for our next trip!”

“Breanna was great! We had a meet and greet a few days before our trip. She met the boys and we had no doubt she was up for the mission. Breanna was easy to communicate with, and she sent us pictures while we were gone. Would definitely recommend, and book again!”
“Kailey was wonderful with my dog Fraser (who can be rambunctious!) over multiple weekends. She was reliable and cared for Fraser well following all of our instructions and keeping him company. I definitely recommend Kailey to anyone who needs a dog-sitter!”
“Heather was absolutely incredible with all four of our fur babies while we were away for a week!! We have two cats and two dogs and one of our dogs can be a bit nervous around new people and either shuts down or gets defensive. Heather took the time to build a relationship with him giving him the space he needed to feel comfortable and by the end of our trip they were getting along so well, she really built that trust. All the photos and daily recaps were amazing, she is incredibly thorough and took care of our babies as if they were her own. I can’t tell you how much peace of mind that brought us while we were so far away knowing they were all being cared for so well. I would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone and will definitely being booking with her again!!!”
“Sophia stayed with our three pups during the blizzard week. Not only were our fur babies well cared for, she did an outstanding, above and beyond job caring for our home. We would absolutely have her come stay again! Highly recommend.”

About: With over 3 years of full time overnight and long-term petsitting experience, I bring real expertise and a whole lot of love to caring for your pets. I grew up on a cattle ranch in Oregon, and animals have been part of my life ever since. I've gone on to care for pets all over the world through various sitting opportunities. I'm comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes and energy levels, and I enjoy getting to know each cat's particular quirks. I'm also experienced with senior pets, including administering medications, managing mobility issues, and keeping a close eye on any special needs they have. Over the years I've cared for horses, dogs, cats, and even shrimp, so whatever your pet's personality, your furry (or fin-y) family member will be in experienced, loving hands. I currently work from home full time Monday to Friday. I have a flexible work schedule and can organize my time around walks and overnight sits. I’m available for overnight sits or to drop by and walk and feed pets or check on them while you’re away. The comfort of pets and their owners is my top priority. I’m discreet, punctual and communicative.

I am finishing up my MBA at Bryant University leaving me with an open availability days outside of my classes which are Mondays and Wednesdays.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Smithfield
Heather was excellent with my dog! He can be a little bit nervous having a new person around. She was extremely patient with him, and he was able to warm up to her and truly enjoy his time the couple of days that I was traveling! She kept me updated with lots of pictures, videos and detailed updates. He got all the companionship he needed to be comfortable as well as enough exercise that kept him tired and happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog!
Brittany took great care of our chocolate lab Hope once again! Hopey was very happy throughout the trip and when we returned home the house was neat and tidy. Brittany also took in the barrels and mail…those little things that make a difference! Thanks again, Brittany!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Smithfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Smithfield on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,298 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Smithfield. 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 North Smithfield 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 Smithfield 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 Smithfield 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.

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.
