“It's always hard to leave the old boy, but Marie was outstanding and kept Bentley safe and warm as well as providing a constant presence. Marie is a neat and conscientious house guest and I would not hesitate to ask her back again.”
“Having Bre watch our three fur babies while we were away was the best choice we made. Two of our furries have special needs and we were so glad to have found her especially when one of them ended up needing to go to the vet. Bre alerted us right away that something was wrong and made sure she kept us informed of his progress. She went above and beyond to make sure our boy was cared for. Bre also sent great pictures with updates every day of all three of our fuzzies. They had so much fun with her and our cat, who hates everyone, snuggled right up with her. The house was left tidied, house plants didn't perish, and mail was stacked neatly. We will be hiring Bre again! 😀”
“Haley did everything that I asked of her and more. She was extremely responsive, sent many photos, and provided constant updates which made me as a pet parent extremely happy to know that my pup was in good hands. The house was in perfect condition when I got back home as well. Will definitely re-book again! Thank you Haley!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup who loves long walks and playtime, giving extra patience and gentle care to senior pets, or making sure independent cats feel comfortable and cared for, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so your pets feel happy and at home while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible. I mostly work in the afternoon and evenings so my mornings are mostly free. I am happy to pop by after work to check in and take care of your animals I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to provide consistent, personalized care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and bedtime while making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I always make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, enrichment through play and mental stimulation, and a cozy place to relax. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and treated like part of the family.
About: I've had dogs since I was in 3rd grade, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I've also helped care for family and friends' pets while they were away. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat every pet like they're my own. I know how important it is to stick to a pet's routine and make them feel safe and comfortable, and I'm happy to send updates and photos while you're away. I'm currently working part-time through August 1, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I'll be starting a full-time job on August 17, but I'll still be available on weekends and can discuss weekday availability as needed. I'll always make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and time they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would my own. I will follow your pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind.
“Isabel is the best! We felt so confident in Randy’s care while we were away. She was very consistent with sending updates everyday with pictures. Although not her job, we came home and our home was spotless. We appreciate her so much with our anxious baby and she gave updates of how she saw his confidence boost throughout her time with him!”
“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!!!”
“We had just gotten our puppy and needed a sitter to watch him two days later. Cassie was fantastic; she had no issues watching him in our home and was even nice enough to bring him back to her home where she has a fenced in backyard! She provided photos and updates throughout the day and we will definitely book her again!”
“Xavier was diligent and trustworthy. He gave us appropriate updates while we were away and the cat and dog were happy and healthy upon our return. I will definitely book Xavier again!”
About: I'm the go to girl for washing up our puppers, and even climbing in the tub just to set them at ease. I go the extra mile to make sure animals are comfortable and happy. I currently have all the freedom to play with your pup, walk them, and care for their needs. So please fill my calendar with puppy play dates! I would like to fully understand the routine the client has for their pet prior to make sure it does not get disrupted and allows the pup to stay at ease.
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
About: Working at a lively doggy daycare, I care for up to 15 dogs at once, so nothing surprises me! Big, small, shy, or mischievous, I know how to keep dogs safe while having a blast! Your pup will get plenty of love, playtime, and cuddles, plus photo updates so you can see them in real time :) I work at a doggy daycare, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I currently work part time at my doggy daycare, so I have plenty of time on the side to care for your pets! In my home, pets have plenty of space, toys, and attention. I always supervise and will separate my cats if needed to keep everyone safe. For in client home visits, I follow your instructions, provide food, water, and cuddles, and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and secure. I also don’t mind helping out with bringing in the mail, and or cleaning up a bit!
“Emma was amazing. Finn was very happy when we came home. She sent us many pictures and videos of Finn during the week she was here. We are very pleased and will definitely use her again.”
“Wish I had more stars to give! Samantha is great with dogs. Our terrier mix, Charlotte, warmed up to Samantha from the first moment they met. She slept peacefully knowing Samantha was here for her. On the second day, Samantha was greeted with full body wiggles and wags. Excellent caregiver, early both days. Great job!!!”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
About: Your dog will be treated like my own pampered pets. Pets will be comfortable, well-tended and cuddled (if your dog likes). With over 30 years as a pet owner, I am very experienced and excited to care for your pet. I can administer medicines, including shots/IV fluids. I love all animals and have made friends with almost every dog I have met. Worry not--relax while you're away. Your fur babies are in very capable hands! I’m currently working from home. Your pets will get plenty of attention! I like to keep the same routing pets are used to in their own homes. I have a a large deck and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. I can easily crate your dog if needed whether at night or certain times during the day.

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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,275 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.
