“Rachel accepted a late request for sitting. She made time to come meet my 2 dogs and cat beforehand and sent pictures and updates. I’m glad to have booked Rachel and am hoping she’ll be available next time I have to be away.”
“Sue took great care of my senior dog (April) and senior cat (Cleo). She gave April a special treat by giving her a ride in her convertible (yes, she confirmed that a ride was ok), and then let her run around her fenced yard. She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive while I was away. I know that April & Cleo look forward to Sue’s next visit. ?”
“They did a phenomenal job! Brie was very well cared for, and I’m sure she wouldn’t mind being taken care of again in the future. Shauna and Nixley were very accommodating and understanding of unexpected travel changes which I can’t express my gratitude enough.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have 3 dogs that I have all trained and they know many tricks. My dog has even had puppies and I helped raise them till they were old enough to find forever homes. I love animals and working with them in any aspect would make my day! I am attending college and I have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays from the morning till about 3 in the afternoon, and one class early Friday mornings. I am available any other time. I will treat your pets like they are my own, with compassion and love. I will respect your homes as well. I will leave the home as tidy as it was when I arrived.
“Victoria has been just wonderful with our senior dog. She is on time, efficient, caring and kind. She goes above and beyond her duties and I couldn’t be more grateful to have her and Rover! Highly recommend!”
“Choosing a pet sitter online can feel like a leap of faith, but Emily made it an absolute breeze. I was initially nervous about having someone stay in our home, but after seeing her glowing reviews, her high number of repeat clients, and having a great meet-and-greet, I felt completely confident in my choice. Emily is a true professional. She handled a complex medication schedule for one of our pups—administering tablets three times a day—which was a huge relief since that midday dose is critical. She kept us updated with regular feedback and photos, and I really appreciated that she reached out with questions when needed; it showed she truly cared about getting things right. The real "above and beyond" moment happened when a forecasted 1" of snow turned into an unexpected 8–10" blizzard overnight. Without being asked (and way beyond her duties), Emily took it upon herself to shovel our path and driveway. Emily clearly goes the extra mile. If you want peace of mind and a sitter who treats your home and pets like her own, hire her!”
“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!”
About: I have years of experience dog-sitting and cat-sitting for friends and clients, often staying at their homes to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. My friends and clients trust me to care for their pets as if they were my own, and I'm committed to providing the best care possible! My schedule allows me to visit or walk your pet after work, Mondays to Thursdays (7 am or 6 pm), and anytime from Friday to Sunday. I am also available on weekends, Friday to Sunday, for house pet sitting, so your pet will have plenty of attention and care even if you're away for an extended period! With years of experience in dog-sitting and cat-sitting, I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow a consistent routine, ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable, and I take precautions to maintain a safe space within your home. I'm committed to reliable communication, sharing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. By allowing each pet to approach me at their own pace, I foster trust and a positive bond, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed in my presence. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.
“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.”
“Dina was wonderful! My cat is 14, diabetic insulin dependent twice daily. She was very attentive to Raisin and myself, sending picture updates and staying in regular communication. I really appreciate all of her efforts in making what could be a stressful situation much more pleasant. I will be using her services again in the future and am so grateful. Thank you, Dina!”
“Sophia was truly amazing. She communicated every step of the way and always reached out with any questions. I appreciated how consistently she kept me informed with updates and photos, and how she let me know when she arrived and left each day. She also gave me helpful summaries of their daily activities so I always knew how Kharma was doing. I came home to a neat and tidy house, the trash taken out, and a very happy dog. It was clear Kharma was well cared for. I’d absolutely trust her again.”
About: I can dog sit as well as dog walk. I have been doing this for my neighbors from such a young age! I love animals I am extremely flexible throughout the summer and can walk dogs early in the morning to beat the heat! Or late in the afternoon/evening :) I have a fenced in yard with toys of toys & a pool if your pup likes the water as much as mine likes water!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. Family and neighbors would always rely on me to watch their pets when they went out of town. I work full-time. So when I’m watching your pet, I will be gone from 9 to 4 and Gus will be with me at all times. If I need to come back midday to let the pup out that can be arranged. Just let me know! Gus is my pal. He’s my right hand. He will be with me when we take care of care of your pet! He’s a 1y/o beagle mix. Loves to play and gets along with everyone very relaxed and chill. Gus and I will stay at your home. Walks in the morning and evening. Photos and communication as much as you prefer.
“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!”
“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”
“Roger is a fantastic dog watcher. We were away for 10 days and had Roger watch our two greyhounds in our home. We received daily photos of our dogs — walking, at rest, sitting, at attention, being happy — very happy. Also, the house was well cared for and was just as we left it. We plan on using Roger on a regular basis. Having him to depend on will give us more freedom and peace of mind.”
About: Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’ve been caring for animals for over two decades. For the past several years, I’ve traveled the country as a trusted pet sitter through reputable apps and personal referrals, providing high-quality care in homes across the U.S. What began as a lifelong love for animals has grown into a full-time calling rooted in reliability, intuition, and genuine respect for the pets and families I serve. Now that I’m back home, I’m excited to offer local pet care with the same level of professionalism and heart I’ve brought to every sit nationwide. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority :) I’m a homebody who works from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my day. I’m around to give them attention, keep them company, and make sure they feel safe and loved the whole time. I care for pets in other peoples homes currently, if it’s family, friends or clients I’ve met throughout the years, my main priority is to ensure a safe and healthy environment for every animal. This includes bathing, always making sure they have food and water/or following specific feeding times, play time, walks, pets, relaxation time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Weekapaug is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $68 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.

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 Weekapaug 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 Weekapaug 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 Weekapaug 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.

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.
