“Kaitlynn has taken great care of our greyhounds. She continues to be thorough and communicative. One of our dogs is leash reactive and Kaitlynn is able to manage this well. Highly recommend to others!”
About: I have taken care of a wide range of animals my whole life. I was raised by two loving parents who work for the department of environment. I have always been more close with animals and have always done my absolute most to make sure they are taken care of. I have three dogs of my own two large ones and one small one. We also have two cats and some other animals. I cannot wait to meet yours. I’m currently a full time student and part time worker at the mall. I currently tend to two of my animals and have found the time to fit yours in as well. I can be available early in the morning to late at night. I make sure all my animals are in very safe hands and make sure they stay preoccupied. I always make sure to have as much patience as needed and stick to your schedule.
“This was the first time we left our dog with someone other than family or a close friend. Emily did an amazing job of easing our anxiety as well as keeping our very anxious dog comfortable while we were away. She learned our dog’s personality quickly and kept us updated with regular updates and pictures. She got the cutest pictures of our dog too. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog! We will definitely rebook Emily in the future!”
“Rayna did an incredible job with my dog, Lucy!! She asked how many updates I wanted on Lucy while I was away and I told her there was no limit, and she delivered the most fun photos and updates! Lucy clearly felt so comfortable with Rayna! I will absolutely be booking again.”
“Allie was a real trooper considering that a wind storm blew out the power and internet while she was here sitting our dog. She was very helpful and understanding through the entire process and we were really grateful for that. In addition, she was on top of it with Olive, sending us regular pics and updates about what was going on with her. We will definitely be contacting her again.”
“Sarah and Mason took great care of our dog and two cats. When we arrived home after a week-long work trip, we arrived to find a lovely note letting us know when our dog was walked last, and when the animals were fed. Not only that the house was a clean as we left it and all the animals were super-happy. We will definitely use them again!!”
“Excellent sitter. Victoria handled one of our dog’s specific mobility needs perfectly. Knowing she had everything under control really eased the separation anxiety for both us and the dogs. The house was left exactly how we found it—couldn't be happier with the choice. Will definitely be booking Victoria for future trips!”
“After having some bad luck with reliable/trustworthy petsitters in the past, I was having anxiety about my upcoming vacation and who I could trust my pets with. Eve was/is dependable, understanding, communicative and all of the other traits I was hoping to find in a sitter. She kept me in the loop and sent me pictures of my happy fur babies while I was out of the country. Eve's the best!!!”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats since I was 8 and loved every minute of it. I've frequently walked, fed, played with, and loved my cat, two dogs, and those of my friends, family, and coworkers! I have experience caring for fish as well. I also have experience with basic training commands like sit, stay, lay down, etc. I love being active and outdoors, so I have no issue taking a furry friend along for the ride. I’m a college student home for the summer using this as my daily dog fix + an enjoyable side hustle. Aside from my part-time jobs, I am very flexible. I'll work my schedule around your pets needs! I respect your privacy entirely and promise to go above and beyond for your pets. Pictures will always be provided so you can rest easy knowing your pets are safe and sound. Permission will be asked before any extra treats are given!
“Gianna is amazing. She saved us when we were out of town and desperate to find a replacement sitter. She took such great care of our dogs and our house was spotless when we came home. Would 100% book with her again.”
About: Friends and family rely on me to watch their kiddos and their pets! I love being the fun auntie. I am a working professional that is looking to spend some of my extra time caring for your pets! I have had dogs and cats my entire life. My dog, Willie, was a German Sheppard-Collie mutt, that made it to just shy of 15 years old. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets the same way I cared for him. I am flexible. I work on a rotating schedule and am happy to accommodate a multitude of schedules or routines. I am an active individual so I would love to incorporate pets into my routines. There are no animals that live in my home currently. I am a clean and tidy person. My yard is only partially fenced in, however, I do have a fenced in front porch. I am in law enforcement and am a trustworthy, honest and capable individual.
“Brynn was absolutely fantastic and very communicative. She gave us the best updates while we were away. She did the best job making sure Cosmo had all his needs taken care of and he really seemed to have bonded with her. I cant say anything but amazing things about her and we will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Maya was amazing! She is very kind, responsible, reliable and nurtured and loved on my 5-month-old kitty like she was her own. She was excellent with communication; my kitten went into heat while I was on vacation, and she was a pro at monitoring the situation and giving me any need-to-know updates. She also sent me adorable pictures of my very blissed and relaxed fur baby. It was a wonderful piece of mind knowing that my kitty was in Maya's care while I was away. She left the home immaculately clean as well.”
“Victoria clearly loves dogs because she took great care of ours! She sent us pictures, updates, and was really flexible when we needed a Memorial Day weekend sitter last minute. We look forward to booking Victoria again in the future!”
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.
“We don’t like to leave our boy home alone if we’re going to be gone longer than a couple hours. Palma graciously came and hung out with him at our house, and everything worked out great! Thank you!!”
“Our 1 year old Golden Retriever loves Grace! This is the second time we’ve had Grace dog-sit for us. She is sweet and professional. I feel completely confident entrusting Grace to watch our dog and our house for the weekend. We highly recommend Grace!”

FAQs for House Sitting - West Greenwich
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Greenwich on Rover is $75 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 1,399 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Greenwich. 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 West Greenwich 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 West Greenwich 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 West Greenwich 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Greenwich. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
