“Kathy did a wonderful job looking after our Ollie (9 month old American Cocker Spaniel). She is very kind and patient! We enjoyed receiving photos of their visit and Ollie was a happy boy.”
About: Hello! My name is Rachel! I’m 26 years old and currently live with my fiancé Connor and our three-year old cat, Finn in Barrington, RI. I have owned dogs my entire life and have taken care of my friends and neighbors pets when they needed it. Animals are my greatest passion so I’m very excited to see what opportunities Rover brings! I have a lot of experience dog walking and dog sitting on Rover when I was in college in New York City. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to hearing from you! I’m available early morning and late afternoon / evening and weekends for dog walking and boarding. My work schedule is flexible and I can usually stop at home on lunch to check in. We have a friendly cat to keep your pet company and plenty of space for your pup to run around outside and in! We also live close to a dog park and the beach. We frequent the East Bay Bike Path often for walks and bike rides which we’d love your pet to join us on!
“Sam was incredible. What was supposed to be a simple booking turned into my cat getting sick three days before my trip and needing medicine twice a day the entire time I was gone. Sam helped me feel at ease like my cats were in good hands the whole time, and was super communicative with everything. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Kim was amazing with our cats! They loved her and she went above & beyond to make sure their needs were met while we were away - including some play time! She sent us Rover Cards after every visit detailing how they were and was flexible & accommodating with us as we needed to change our scheduled drop ins around. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have a lot of experience with all different species, including wild birds and farm animals. This diverse experience has taught me how to cater to different animals needs and keep them stimulated. I have good basic medical knowledge in regards to animal anatomy and health and will be starting veterinary school in the fall! I am working and enjoying my time off before I start veterinary school in the fall in Gainesville Florida. I have a very flexible schedule and can cater to your pets needs. I can keep you updated and send pictures to make you feel comfortable and trusted in my services! Your animals comfort and care is my number one priority.
“Liana was so kind to come and help with our buddy. She showed up right on time and spent ample amount of time with him while we were out. I have no reservations about booking her again”
About: Hello, Nadine here. Looking forward to helping you and your pets needs. I am comfortable with all size dogs and look forward to meeting you soon. I am a dog mom, a full-time banker, and in my free time I enjoy long walks and everything and anything to do in nature. I am a proud owner of a miniature schnauzer, who is 15 years old. I am open to long walks, short walks. I understand work, life balance, and the stress of not getting home to our fur babies.
“Hailey is the best sitter. We have had her on multiple occasions and she is very attentive to our senior dog. We were just away for the Christmas week and she took exceptional care of Dunkin. She is very trustworthy and thorough and pays attention to all the information that goes along with the care of our boy. She communicates well and keeps us informed of all that is going on. I would highly recommend her and definitely would hire her again for my pet services.”
About: I'm a dog lover. I am back in New England after 10 years away and have reactivated my Rover account. At 14 years old, my sweet Boston Terrier died in 2023. While I no longer have my own dog, I work from home and am happy for the opportunity to care for yours. :-) Because I work from home, your dog is sure to receive extra love and attention. Your dog is a family member - I get it - and while you're away, you can be assured he/she is receiving care, companionship, and a comfortable safe place to play and lounge. Separation anxiety is real for dog owners too! ;-) To ease your mind, I'm happy to send pictures so you can see updates on your pup, happy and cared for. I want you to have peace of mind. My schedule is rather flexible. Your pet will have company and care as needed throughout the day. It's my pleasure to have their company as well. I live in a lovely waterside neighborhood -- a great place for long walks. Space for a crate and dog bed for your pup to feel at home.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and truly love having them around. I do tend to spoil them, but I always follow the instructions you, the parent, provide. I have had senior dogs and puppies and always give them the extra care they need. We are a retired couple and always enjoy having a dog around us. We have plenty of time to play with pups, and give them lots of love. We have a fenced in backyard to play in, comfortable beds to sleep in. We won’t be taken in other family's dogs while yours is here.
“We’ve had Sarah take care of our kitties many times now! She’s our ‘go to’ if she’s available. She takes great care of our cats and even our shy one has warmed to her. She also came through for us during an emergency earlier this year. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’ve been around pets since childhood - having 2 cats, hamsters, birds and fish. I am a dog mom to a 15 year old beagle and 12 year old pittie mix both of who I adopted when they were 3 years and the other 9 months old. I walked and was also a house visitor for neighbors dogs all throughout middle school. Wherever I was there was a high possibility I was hanging out with someone’s dog. I work a Monday to Friday position but would love to spend my off hours from the office position doing house check ins and or walks for your pets. I would be able to do house check ins for bathroom breaks-feeding-loving attention-playtime as well as bringing them on walks. I am able to handle big or small & high or low energy pets.
About: I've always had dog(s) and cat(s) around me since I was a little girl. I've seen all types of dogs and cats, hyper cats, lazy dogs, and both that think that they're just another human on the couch. In my experience in dealing with all these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in animal -care, patience. Patience is something that is key when dealing with any animal or even any person. A little bit about me... I just moved to North Carolina with my family. I am eager to start college again, along with pet sitting and house cleaning. I enjoy spending time with my four cats in my down time. Animals are my favorite type of people to be around. I say they are people because they are some of the most compassionate beings on earth. I currently go to school online. So, I will have ample amount of time for your fur baby. I can easily adapt to their schedule and needs. I have an acre of land that is not currently fenced. My home consists of four cats, two sons, myself and my husband. I can happily provide drop-in care in the evenings unless I have daytime availability open in my schedule. On the weekends I have more daytime availability. Caring for your cat or dog is something I look forward to. I love when you are able to provide ample amount of information and communication. And no, I don’t think you’re being crazy about the furry member of your family. 😊
About: I have taken care of pets starting at the age of 9 when my parents got me my first puppy. I had raised and trained him on my own, had responsibility of restocking and refilling food and water, as well as grooming, bathing, and bathroom use. Flash forward to when it came to my own dogs senior years, I had learned to understand the extra care that comes along with that. At the age of 13 I had started pet sitting for family and friends. Whether it be walking next door to my neighbors, taking care of a pet in my home, or having my mom drive me someone’s household, I’ve always enjoyed taking care of and playing with pets. At the age of 16 when I had gotten my license, I had started offering to do overnights at peoples homes for their pets and had driven myself to homes multiple times in a day to care for them. I think it’s important to be present, playful, and all around loving to each and every pet. I love to meet new pets and prioritize creating comfort between the animal and I. I’m currently working full time but have weekday evenings open and weekends open!! I have pets myself as home and pet care fits into my routine very naturally. Thankfully I have family to help out with my pets when I’m not there and can give full care to other pets when needed! I have grown up having dogs my entire life (Also having chickens, geese, and bunnies). Being a pet owner gives perspective in terms of creating a sound environment. When I go on vacation or need someone to care for my animals, I look for qualities that many others would. Trust, responsibility, and genuine care. When roles reverse, I behold these qualities to ensure that whoever I am caring for receives this level of comfort from these qualities.
“I was worried about leaving my cat for two weeks, especially because he needs more attention than the average cat. Caroline took such good care of him and spent time with him on each of her visits. I’m sure he appreciated the extra attention. :) It was such a relief to have her looking out for him and the house. I really can’t thank her enough and I plan to hire her for future visits. Highly recommend!”
“Emma was super friendly and communicative. We unfortunately had to cancel our rover visit last minute though she made the effort to come over ahead of time to meet our cat and take notes on what she needed. We definitely look forward to utilizing her services in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Swansea
We absolutely loved Amanda! She was super responsive and did a great job with our babies. She did a meet and greet to go over everything and asked very appropriate questions. She had to administer pills to one of our dogs and followed the instructions perfectly. The dogs took to her immediately. We will definitely book her again for our next trip.
Cassidy was great taking care of our little boy rook. You got constant updates with photos and he appeared to be having time of his life playing ball outside like we usually do. She gave us updates on everything you did by a phone message along with all the pictures and the videos that she sent. We had never left a little boy alone before because he always came with us and we were always concerned about leaving him with somebody else without us. Definitely have good faith in Rover right now and will you be using them again. Have another upcoming trip planned and you should be able to stay at our house taking care of rook for in about 2 to 3 days.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Swansea stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Swansea 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Swansea with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
