“Emily was great to work with and made our traveling easy, not having to worry about our two dogs. We loved getting pictures of the dogs throughout her stay. Also, her having experience with Australian shepherds was a huge plus because she understood our dogs quirks. She even went above and beyond by coming a couple times ahead of her stay to get to know the dogs, and while we were gone watering our plants, taking in mail, and cleaning before she left. Would 100% book her to watch my dogs again in the future.”
“Kaitlynn was exceptional! She delivered on the elements we would hope for when caring for our dog. She communicated clearly and timely with relevant updates that gave us piece of mind. She took the time to listen and get to know and understand our anxious and sometimes reactive cattle dog, giving him the physical exercise he needed along with the mental stimulation. She went above and beyond and we would highly recommend Kaitlynn.”
“Rebekah took great care of my dog. She took him on daily hikes or walks , sent picture updates while I was away , and gave him lots of tlc. I felt really safe leaving my dog in her care and will definitely use her in the future.”
“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!”
“Keshia was great! My dogs loved playing with her and told us that we should go away more often. On time and our dogs were extremely happy and slept all night with out needing to go out. We were very pleased to have Keshia as oidog sitter.”
“Sophia was wonderful, she took such special care of our Border Collie Goose! He has terrible separation anxiety and Sophia barely left his side for straight week. I came home to happy dog and a very clean house. We will absolutely have her again and would highly recommend her.”
“Angela did a great job watching our pets. It’s reassuring to know they are safe and cared for when you are away. She’s calm, responsive and flexible. One pet needed some extra assistance and Angela helped her out. Thank you Angela!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Elizabeth is absolutely amazing with pets and I highly recommend having her care for your pets. She was so engaging with all of my animals and sent pictures and updates, she’s incredibly kind and genuinely cares for your animals. She even came another time for me when I asked last minute and she was more than helpful to us. I am very grateful I found her and her services and will be using her again. Thank you so much Elizabeth!!!! ~Alyssa, Ben, Lili, Max and Lana <3”
“Isabel is the best! We felt so confident in Randy’s care while we were away. She was very consistent with sending updates everyday with pictures. Although not her job, we came home and our home was spotless. We appreciate her so much with our anxious baby and she gave updates of how she saw his confidence boost throughout her time with him!”
“Shannon was absolutely amazing! We felt completely at ease during our vacation, knowing our dogs were in excellent care. She provided frequent updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. Our house looked just as we left it.Our house was exactly as we had left it. I highly recommend Shannon as a sitter; we’re so glad we found her!”
About: I have loved and cared for all kinds of animals since I was young. Having every animal from cats to dogs, birds and guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, lizards, turtles, and birds! I have experience training dogs as well as training service dogs. I can care for animals from birth to their senior years. I can safely bathe animals, feed, administer medication, and give souch love to them! I have a very flexible routine that allows me to accommodate the needs of many pet parents! I can make adjustments as needed and am happy to spend time with your loved four legged friend! I keep a clean, safe space for the animals I visit with. Unless otherwise noted, I keep a variety of treats and toys on hand and keep a large gravity water bowl available at all times.
“Rebecca house sat for us while we were away out of state. She took great care of our home and our pup! She was respectful of our things and our space and communicated as needed!”
“We are very grateful to Isabelle for staying with our two dogs and cat when we were out of town for the weekend. She provided regular updates (which were so appreciated), was flexible in scheduling our initial meeting, and left the house in great condition. Would recommend her and book her again!”
“Emma was amazing. Finn was very happy when we came home. She sent us many pictures and videos of Finn during the week she was here. We are very pleased and will definitely use her again.”
“Meg was just great. This was our first time leaving Kurtis overnight and based on the many pictures that Meg sent and her text messages to us he adjusted very well and was happy. She followed directions that we left and the house was in perfect order when we arrived home. We are looking forward to having Meg dog sit for Kurtis again.”
“Anya was wonderful and our dogs loved her. She did a great job ensuring they were well taken care of and loved. She helped take care of things around the house and sent pictures and updates while we were away. Would 100% recommend her.”
About: I have had now 5 rescues of my own, including our recent rescue of our kittens, all from different sectors of the US, different backgrounds, ages and breeds. I truly wouldnt be who I am today without my furbabies. I have raised my youngest dog from a few months old as well as provided senior care and sick care to my oldest dog. My goal is to give every dog/cat the same amount of love I give my babies. I am familiar with all sorts of behaviors, bigger dogs, dogs who don’t love and dogs that need special attention. I'm very patient and would love to help care for your dog/cat. This is because I understand the struggle to look for a trusted sitter, especially when life and the unexpected happens. I want you to leave knowing that your dog/cat is in safe hands and will get the love they always deserve! If your dog/cat needs some fun activity, needs a friend on the couch, or just wants a lot of belly rubs and snuggles then you can count on me! While I do have a full time job, I am able to adjust my schedule that not only works so much better with my day to day but also having some flexibility while caring for your pets. I have recently made a career change for the time being. My true dream of owning an animal rescue and adoption center one day might be a bit farther of a dream but doesn’t mean I can’t help with others in need. Even with my work schedule, I can adjust my schedule to match yours as close or exact as possible. Please don't hesitate to reach out. My babies have their own little home/crate they are in while we are not home. As soon as we are home, they have our entire finished lower level to run around and play as well as our back yard. While caring at clients home I have similar care protocols as well as having fenced in yards and/or runners they can play on. Whatever care you need, you can trust me to follow.
“Heath is so great with my dog Scott. He sends updates and check ups to let you know how things are going. It makes traveling so much less stressful knowing that my dog is being taken care of.”
“Leo stayed with our 2 dogs and took good care of them while we were away. He fed our dogs on time and opened/closed the doggy door as instructed. He sent us pictures and videos regularly so we have peace of mind as one of our dogs had leg injury. He left the house clean and took the trash bin out to the curb on trash pickup day for us. Leo is a caring pet sitter and our dogs like him. We are happy we found Leo and will definitely hire him again in the future. Thanks Leo!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,061 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Voluntown. 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 Voluntown 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 Voluntown 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 Voluntown 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
