“Grace was wonderful with my dog and my house while we were away for a few days. She was attentive to pet and house needs, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. We will definitely hire her again!”
“My dog absolutely adores Michelle! She is extremely responsible and caring and she send lots of photo updates. Xena and I highly recommend booking with Michelle!”
“Zoe is so great! She sends updates and pictures and will ask questions if anything comes up. Pets are always happy and healthy when we get home. She even watched them over Christmas holiday which was amazing. Highly recommend!!”
“We used Ariel’s services for a last minute booking and she was so wonderful with all 4 of our dogs. She was tremendously helpful and we really appreciate her professionalism!”
“Anna took great care of our pups, kitty, and home while we were away. We've used Anna for dog walking before her weeklong stay in our home, and the animals love her. Anna is very gentle and kind, and that reflects when we've seen her interact with all of our animals. She made sure to stay in communication with us and send great pictures to make us feel at ease. We plan on continuing to hire Anna for dog walking or future pet sitting.”
About: With a lifelong passion for pets, I've grown up with four dogs and three cats, providing me with extensive pet care experience. I've also offered pet-sitting services for various clients and have had the privilege of assisting my licensed dog behavioral specialist mother for many years, where she has shared her knowledge of behavior and training with me. I have two cats of my own and adore not only them, but all animals. Rest assured, your pets will receive top-notch care and affection during your absence. Your furry companions will be in capable, loving hands! I typically have the most availability weekdays, anywhere from morning until around 5pm. Weekends are dependent on date, and evenings are a bit tougher for me to make work with my second job, but I will do my best to work my schedule around your pets’ needs! Because I have two cats of my own, I unfortunately cannot bring your fur babies into my own home, but I will provide the ideal care for your pet in your home! I understand every pet has different needs, so I will be extremely attentive to them, and treating them with patience and kindness. Whatever they need, I can provide!
“Michaela was awesome! She helped out with a last minute ask to spend the day with my dog while I had to be out of the house. Her and my pup had an awesome time and she was very communicative! Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Maya is the best! She did a great job taking care of our anxious pup and left our house clean and tidy. We loved the updates while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Cannot recommend her highly enough. I have a very high energy dog with a couple issues and my girl took to Monica like she was family the moment they met. Her regular updates and pictures put me at ease that both of them were having fun. This was my first Rover experience and I couldn’t be happier. Will definitely recommend and book her again”
“Sydney did a fantastic job house sitting, and caring for our dog and cat. She arrived on time and listened well to my detailed pet care instructions. We can definitely trust her in our home and we know that can count on her! Thanks again Sydney!”

“Sarah was exceptional! She took such good care of our cat Keagan and communicated with us daily, sending pictures of them interacting. She was very responsible and left our home as clean as we left it. She paid attention to details and went above and beyond. We highly recommend Sarah and would hire her again without question.”
“One of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Not only did I feel that my dog was well cared for, but he was showered with love an affection while in her care. She was so genuine and wonderful, I would absolutely use her service again if in the area. Jennifer is the absolute best and she took such great pictures of my pug, I am so grateful I had her as my dogs sitter.”

Emily was a great sitter for our dog! We have quite an anxious dog and Emily was kind enough to provide courtesy visits before we left. She was very patient and understanding with our dog, and we felt much more comfortable leaving her under such good care. Her communication was great and she provided daily updates. Would definitely rebook with Emily again!
Kat, as always, went above and beyond for our dog and for our family. Our dog had a medical emergency while we were out of the country and Kat went above and beyond in her care for him and we are forever grateful that we entrusted Kat with his care. I can’t recommend Kat highly enough in all aspects.
Michaela did a wonderful job of dog sitting our puppy for two nights! She administered his oral medications, took him to do activities and kept him regulated during fireworks in the area. She also checked in often and loved our puppy like he was her own. I would highly recommend Michaela for dog sitting/walking if you’re looking for a responsible and experienced person to care for your pet.
Jennifer was great with our dog and cat! She stayed the weekend while we were away, and we knew everything was going well based on the amount of communication (and photos), which was very much appreciated! We would happily recommend Jennifer to others, and will surely use her again!
Jules was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She sent thoughtful daily photo updates, which I genuinely looked forward to each day and really appreciated. It was clear my cat was comfortable, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. She was also incredibly respectful of my home, everything was clean, organized, and exactly as I left it when I returned. Jules was reliable, communicative, kind, and clearly someone who truly cares about animals. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, dependable pet sitter!
Amazing! 2nd time asking Michelle to stay at our home with Sheba. The amount of attention and care that is given is outstanding. The picture updates are so welcomed and appreciated just to see how happy she is!. We know that Sheba is in great hands and we do not have to worry at all. Feeding, medication, pop in energy release visits and most important a cuddle buddy! Can't thank you enough Michelle!
Katie did a phenomenal job with my cat Gracie! She was communicative, kind, and attentive to detail - and I had a lot of confidence leaving my cat in her care. I came home to a happy cat and a house just like I left it (emptied trash, fresh sheets, clean dishes) - would happily use her services again!
Molly was proactive in her communication and took great care of my dog and cat. She sent us photos periodically, somehow got my cat to accept her as a lap the cat could tolerate and left the house as she found it. We'll definitely have her back again--she's great.
This was my first time using Angela to house and dog sit while I went away for a quick one night trip. She was delightful to work with. Very kind and friendly and attuned to my dog, Penelope’s, needs. Communication was excellent leading up to and during my time away. She sent lots of pictures and videos of Penelope, which I always find comforting while separated. She even brought her dog (after a meet and greet to see if they were compatible) so that Penelope had a playmate. It looked like they had a wonderful time together. Not sure Penelope even noticed I was gone. Angela left the house nice and tidy and put on some soothing nature sounds for the hour Penelope was going to be alone before I got home. She also made brownies and left some for me when I got home. Penelope and I are both looking forward to our next Aunty Angela stay!
Kristine is amazing. She is friendly, very accommodating, and knowledgeable about pets, their behaviors. and pets care. Kristine is great with my two very different and very “personalitied” pups. She is very responsive to messages re booking and incredibly communicative during visits and sittings. Kristine is an incredible overnight guest. I never worry about my pups or the house when traveling. I cannot recommend Kristine enough.
Virgelica was the best! She cared for my turtle & cat while we were both away. They can both be finicky pets but she did great with them and kept me up to date. The two of them are happy as can be since I returned home. I had tech issues while I was away and wasn't able to access the rover app frequently -- I'm glad rover provides a phone number so we could keep in contact that way. Virgelica was diligent, had great communication, and both of our pets happy! Would recommend her to anyone.
Kaytlyn and her partner Aaliyah are the best!!!! thy went above and beyond for my cat Milo and he absolutely loves them and is extremely well cared for if i have to go away. so well in fact i am worried i have disappointed my cat by returning 😭😭 i will be using them in the future and thank Rover for helping me find my absolutely purrrfect sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pawtucket
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pawtucket 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 2,421 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pawtucket. 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 Pawtucket 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 Pawtucket 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 Pawtucket 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pawtucket. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
