“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs for the past couple of years. I started with family and friends animals and have recently started watching other peoples animals and I really enjoy it. I’ve walked, bathed, feed and swam with pets. I work part time at a movie theater and have a flexible schedule and can request days off if need be or work in the morning rather than night and vise versa if you need morning care. I Can crate dogs if needed, I won’t feed your pet anything unless okayed by owner first. I live to take pictures of animals so I can provide updates if needed. I enjoy walking and running with animals so if they need a walk outside or a ball thrown around a fenced yard I would be happy to do so.
About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up having multiple dogs and cats at a time. I have helped by grandma, neighbors and family friends with dog sitting, bathing, and walking since I was young. I love cats and their personality! I am unfazed by cleaning up after animals and am a professional litter box cleaner. I would consider my professional experience to be close to 7 years (definitely longer but I have been reimbursed for my services for the past 7 years). I’m currently very flexible with my schedule, which allows me to easily work around your needs and your pet’s routine! Whether your furry friend needs a morning walk, a midday check-in, feeding, companionship, or some extra playtime and attention, I’m happy to be there. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I’m more than happy to accommodate their schedule as much as possible. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away or busy. Whether you need occasional help or more regular care, I’m flexible and willing to work with you to find a schedule that works best for everyone! I currently live with roommates, so unfortunately I’m unable to accommodate pets in my own home. However, I’m more than happy to travel to your home to care for your pets! I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any other care they may need in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!
“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.”
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.
“Kyleigh is wonderful. She sent regular pics of the dogs - who loved her. I have an extremely clingy labradoodle who found a willing cuddle buddy in Kyleigh. Very trustworthy and communicative - I felt very comfortable having her in my house. Thank you Kyleigh!”
About: Took a little time off to Travel Nurse but I’m back!! ☺️ I’m a dog mom and a Nurse of 13years. Dog mom to a very friendly snorkie named Gronk (Go Pats! lol) I’ve had him for 10 years, & a 2 year old Pomsky named Skyler who is the cutest little thing you’ve ever seen, with bright blue eyes 🩵 We spend a lot of time outside (when the weather permits) it’s a short walk to the beach from my house & I also have a fully fenced in back yard! I do outside Potty breaks every 2-4 hours, which can be adjusted according to your fur baby’s needs. I can keep any feeding schedule you already have in place.
“Our pups love Shannon. She treated them so well! Took them on outings everyday, brushed them, gave them kisses and cuddled on the couch. Shannon is a great communicator, reaching out every day with updates and photos like I requested. I was confident in her abilities and didn't worry about the girls while we were away for over a week! She's reliable, respectful, considerate, very capable, and kind. And she left the house in perfect condition. I probably shouldn't give her such high praise because I want her all to ourselves :-)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I have always had pets growing up, and more recently have started dog sitting. I work full time and am very much so busy, but willing to make any changes to my schedule to fit anything that pops up! I am comfortable walking and caring for any size dog. I can take care of daily needs for any dog including brushing, feeding, and playing
“Victoria stayed in my home for 10 days while I was away. She snuggled, played and loved on my dog the whole time. She sent me pictures and texts everyday to assure me my dog was doing well! She also kept my house very clean and better than when I left! I highly recommend Victoria! I will definitely be using her again.”
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.
“Hannah was wonderful! She came for a meet and greet to meet our dogs in advance and then sent pictures and took great care of our pups while we were out of town. We have a rescue who is anxious and takes medication, and Hannah handled her needs patiently. We will definitely have Hannah come back!”
“He was such a huge help, and my 2.5 month old puppy, Hazy, loved him! Rich did dog sitting for around 5 days at my apartment and he was really hands-on, flexible to work around our schedules, and attentive to our pup's need. Will definitely work with him again!”
About: I have been a dedicated dog owner for the past 8 years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pets. I regularly helped care for my brother’s 16-year-old dog, gaining valuable experience with the extra patience, attention, and support that older dogs require. In addition, I have been pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since high school. I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care so your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. As a PA student, my schedule changes monthly, but I often work only three 12-hour shifts per week. This gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for pet care during weekdays and weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, medications, or just extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing!

The average cost of House Sitting in Saunderstown is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $89 per night.

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 Saunderstown 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 Saunderstown 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 Saunderstown 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.

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.
