“Nadine did a great job with our five month old puppy! Our puppy loved her at the meet and greet. I wasn’t home at the time Nadine came to walk Sandy so Nadine sent lots of photos and videos and actively walked our puppy and played with her the whole hour of the visit. Nadine was very professional and went the extra mile for us, even fitting us in last minute, in between other obligations!”
“Emily is competent, experienced and very animal-oriented. My two took to her immediately. She arrived right on time, sent updates and pictures as promised, and left the house in perfect condition. She asked good questions and appreciated the list of instructions I left for her. Into the bargain, she is a bright, interesting and all-around delightful person. I highly recommend her.”
About: Puppy knowledgeable and enjoy training. Love walks, reliable, friendly. I've taken care of family and friend's animals. I'm semi retired and have availability. I work a couple of days a week so I have plenty of time to interact with your doggies. I can be available on short notice I do not have a fenced yard so I will always use a leash for walks or potty breaks. Your animals will always be supervised
“Rayna was great to work with as she took care of our little pup Ollie! She was an amazing communicator, sent regular pictures, took Ollie on good walks and took great care of our house. We would be lucky to work with her again!”

“Sam is awesome and our dogs love her. She took amazing care of them and was great about giving us updates. We also had a canceled flight which changed when we would return and she was super accommodating which we were so grateful for. We were nervous to have someone house sit for the first time, but Sam was great and we'd book her again any time!”
“Steph was great. She communicated often with photos and updates which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable having her at my home and caring for my pup. I will definitely book again.”
“Super experience! Rebecca very clearly loves animals and is professional & detail oriented, making sure that my pups were cared for in the way that I would care for them. She even looked after our chickens :) Great communication- before and during. Thank you!!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Sam! I’m 31 and have 1 cat. Smoke and drug free. I’ve had many other pets of varying species (if you need someone to take care of and love your exotics or small animals i can do that also!) I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your babies! Currently have a full-time job in Pawtucket. I work 9:30-6 but am available before and after that. Tuesdays and Sundays always off.

I have an indoor outdoor cat who is very friendly. No smoke, no drug, no alcohol home. I have my own transportation. I have had to administer insulin to my own cat along with pills and liquid medication so i’m comfortable with medications.
“Julia was an A+++ dog sitter. We don’t leave our dog too often and seem to be unable to find a dog person who loves being a dog sitter. JunieB sensed her love of dogs immediately. We came home to a happy dog and an immaculate house. I only hope that Julia will be our go to forever!!!”
“Kotone was the perfect solution when we had to go out of town for a few nights! Our AmStaff loved them and they even won over our cats, who are often wary of strangers and stay hidden. Kotone sent some pictures from the visit and even our most skittish cat was enjoying pets :) They were very pleasant and respectful of our home. We will definitely keep Kotone in mind for future travels.”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with our two pups, and with house sitting! She took excellent care of our Saint Bernard and Golden Retriever, making sure not only were they cared for, but loved! Lots of play time and tons of pics and vids sent our way so we knew they were happy and healthy! We came home to a spotless house. We would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for pet care and/or housesitting!”
“Madonna was amazing! She communicated well, she was flexible as we had some work going on in the yard, and she was great with the dogs. The dogs love her! I will hope I’m lucky enough to ba e Madonna house sit again.”
“Amy did a wonderful job with Lexi! Lexi can be anxious with new people but she seemed very comfortable with Amy and had a great time! Amy was also excellent about communication and sending photos of Lexi to us.”
“Monica is wonderful. She is loved by my dog and when she stays at my home it feels like a family member caring for my dog. She clearly loves my dog and her professional approach to the business end (schedule, communication and med management) gives me such piece of mind when traveling.”
“Alyssa jumped in to watch my boys at the last minute and as always, goes above and beyond! She is always very communicative and tends to them as if they were hers. They boys love her and we appreciate all her kindness.”
“Francis was great! Our 2 cats were happy and healthy when we got home after being gone for over a week. She was also great at responding to texts, and left our home pretty much exactly as we had left it. She is super sweet and will definitely recommend her to take care of your critters.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Swansea
Isabella stayed in our home and cared for your two dogs and guinea pig for a week in August. It was our first time working with someone from Rover and we were a little nervous in particular about our high energy younger dog who is prone to getting into everything. In short, she did a great job of taking care of our dogs and other pets and even changed our guinea pig's litter without being asked. The house was immaculate, sheets and towels washed and changed and pets very happy. She was mature, communicative and responsive to messages and to a last minute change in return dates. We would recommend her highly and we hope to work with her again. Thank you, Isabella!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Swansea is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $65 per night. 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 1,968 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Swansea. 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 Swansea 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 Swansea 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 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!
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Swansea. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
