About: I’ve cared for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, mice and birds. Horses and dogs are my favorites! I’ve had a dog (or 3) of my own until recently when my 17 year old Yorkie passed away. I’d love to care for your pet now. I am out of the house for a stretch of 4-6 hours for 4-5 days a week, usually in the morning. But otherwise my schedule is fairly flexible. I can walk your dog or put them on a line. I do not have a fenced yard. In general, I don’t mind dogs on my furniture. I can crate them if needed.
“Being away for two weeks was made so much better knowing Michelle was there to spend time with our Cooper. Seeing him look so happy every day made our vacation even more enjoyable”
About: I grew up in a 3-dog household, and I have experience caring for dogs from puppy to senior, as well as minor diabetic care. I can also care for everything from low-energy to high-energy breeds. I also volunteered at a cat shelter and have some additional experience with foster kittens. I love all animals and also have some experience with fish and reptiles! Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine when I am home. I make time to ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive attention throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I prioritize their health, happiness, and overall well-being while balancing my other responsibilities. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being while following their normal routines as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, have bathroom breaks, and get plenty of attention and playtime. For dog walking, I provide safe, enjoyable walks that match each dog's energy level and exercise needs. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always follow the owner's instructions carefully and make sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am also happy to share updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Zoey & Remy loved Erica. She was great with them. She was very timely. Took them for walks, potty break and had okay time. They enjoyed having Erica Come bye while mom and dad were working long days. Great job Erica!!”
“Hannah is wonderful! She is great with our high-energy dog and gets him lots of exercise in at each visit. She was also amazing with our guinea pig! Hannah is very responsive and keeps us updated about each visit. Would highly recommend her!”
“Katrina radiates love for animals; it is a great feeling to know she is caring for our dog, Fred, while we are away. She is very punctual, responsive and responsible. We will use her again and I highly recommend her to others.”
“Lucas was great, talkative, and friendly. Asked all the right questions and sent us great photos of our cat. He made us super comfortable, and truly one of the best pet sitters we have had. We can’t wait to work with Lucas again, 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
About: Aside from taking care of my family’s sweet chocolate lab, I have about six years of pet sitting and walking for friends, family and friends of family! I usually watch three sweet rescue pups in Massachusetts- Archie, Gracie and Ollie. I have pet sit for dogs big and small! I also often walk a chunky chocolate lab here in Newport and look forward to walking him every time I part ways with him. Other than pet sitting and walking, I also volunteer at the Potter League for Animals in Middletown, RI where I am usually walking or playing with the rescue dogs or socializing with the cats! I am a psychology student at Salve Regina University where I am currently taking an animal training course where my peers and I go to the Potter League and teach dogs how to sit, stay, lay down, leave it and many other skills! I am passionate about pet care and would love to take care of your fur babies! I am currently a student at Salve Regina University and I have classes Monday-Thursday: 10-10:50 am and 2:30-3:45pm on Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30-10:45am and 3:45-5:00pm and Wednesday 1:00-3:30 so I am available any time I am not in class! I watch pets in the comfort of their own home! Unfortunately I would not be able to watch pets in my apartment as my roommate is not a fan of pets.
About: I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m especially patient with senior dogs, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. I also absolutely love puppies and have plenty of patience for their energy, playtime, and little accidents along the way! Whether your dog wants to play, go for a walk, or just cuddle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule with having classes very spaced out throughout the day. I am able to stop by at almost any time. Since I’m a college student, I’m not able to have pets stay with me in my dorm, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable. I’ll follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles while giving them lots of attention and care. I want every pet to feel safe and loved while their owners are away, and I’m always happy to send updates and pictures!

About: I was raised with black labs and now have a 4 year old golden retriever. I love to help and make new friends! I am happy to visit, walk, or board to assist in any way I can.

“Dina was a life saver! Unexpectedly had to travel for work. She quickly responded and jumped into action. Dina took great care of my 2 boys which let me work without worry. It is important to me they stay in their routine and home. I would greatly recommend her and have her stay with them again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saunderstown
Julia did a super job! She took great care of my baby girl Orwell! She was very accommodating and helped me figure out my booking confusion. She took lots of pictures of my baby while I was away and provided thorough progress notes. She played with and cuddled Orwell - Orwell really liked her!
Elizabeth was wonderful with our 2 boisterous dogs! They were very happy to have her mid-day attention while we were out. She was always ontime and the photos she always sent left a smile on my face knowing they weren't home alone all day and stuck inside. We will definitely be calling her in the future. She is very trustworthy and kind. A real dog-lover, skilled at handling big, boisterous dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saunderstown is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,018 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saunderstown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saunderstown. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
