She was very responsible and left our home as clean as we left it. She paid attention to details and went above and beyond. We highly recommend Sarah and would hire her again without question.”

“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.”

“Tori was amazing! We hired her to stay with our sweet Australian Labradoodle, Birdie, while we were away for five days, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, our home was spotless, and Birdie was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter, and we'll absolutely be using her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have owned cats, parrots, and reptiles throughout that time. I currently have four cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space. While I haven’t had a dog of my own, I’ve been lucky enough to be an honorary “Auntie” to a handful of very special dogs belonging to friends and family. I have plenty of experience spending time with dogs, walking them, caring for them, and—most importantly—spoiling them with lots of love and attention. For years, I traveled frequently for work, which always made me hesitant to get a dog of my own. I knew I’d feel guilty having to constantly arrange care while I was away. Now that my career has calmed down and I’m home much more often, I’d love the opportunity to meet some sweet pups, get to know their individual personalities, and have a few honorary nieces and nephews to dote on! I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want someone to give my own. **Daytime Availability:** Monday through Thursday **Overnight Availability:** Any night except Saturday nights Saturday night stays may be possible with advance notice, depending on my availability I prefer to provide overnight care in your pet’s home. I believe pets are generally happiest and most comfortable staying in their own familiar environment, surrounded by their usual routines, smells, and belongings. Since I have four cats of my own, overnight sitting at your home is also the best fit for me. My cats are friendly with dogs, but they are not comfortable with other cats, and I want to preserve the balance of our established little pack. I own a two story home with plenty of rooms and a fully enclosed patio, which my pets love. However, because of my cats’ needs, I’m generally unable to host other cats in my home. I’m happy to discuss care for dogs and other pets on a case by case basis, with safety, comfort, and individual needs as the top priorities. I take trust and safety seriously and will care for your pets and home with patience, respect, and attention to detail.

“We had such a wonderful experience with Savana! She stayed in our home with our three dogs for six days, our 14-year-old Westie, 9-year-old Border Collie, and our 7-month-old puppy who had just been spayed, and took amazing care of all of them. Having three dogs of very different ages and needs, especially a puppy recovering from surgery, I was definitely nervous about leaving them. Savana gave me complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with pictures, took them for walks, spent time with them, and even bought our puppy some new toys. It was so clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Being able to go away and not worry about whether the dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for was priceless. We came home to three happy pups and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will absolutely use Savana again, and I already plan to have our senior Westie stay with her in her home when we travel in the future. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“From the moment Julia came for the meet-and-greet with Pickles, our one year old rescue who has some anxiety issues with strangers, she gave us a complete sense confidence. She even had a form to get all the information that she would need to know how best to take care of P. When we were away for five days, Julia obviously created a great, easy relationship with our dog and kept her on a routine that we had established (as she has been with us for fewer than three months). Julia sent regular photos and videos of her and updates on how she was doing. I cannot recommend her enough. When we arrived home, Julia had done the bedding(laundry) and she was packed up. The house was immaculate. Thank. You for her loving care. We will be repeats.”

About: Hi! I'm Andolina, but everyone calls me "Nina" 😊 I have a degree in Animal Science and several years of experience as a veterinary technician. Working at animal clinics, and an emergency animal hospital, I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities and am comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets, administering medications, special diets, and animals who need a little extra TLC. I'm the person who will happily send you way too many pictures while you're away, make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine, and give them plenty of attention and affection. If your pets are spoiled members of the family, we're probably going to get along just fine! I understand that finding and inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big deal. I'm a responsible, respectful adult who will treat your home with care, as I do my own. I keep things clean and secure while caring for your pet. I'm based in Warwick and am happy to travel to surrounding areas for house sitting. Whether your pet needs an overnight buddy, some snuggles and comfort while you're away, or someone experienced in caring for specific needs, I'd love to meet you both! I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and good daytime availability throughout the week. This allows me to easily fit in walks, feedings, potty breaks, and check-ins while still giving each pet plenty of attention. I'm available for overnight stays two weeknights and one weekend night each week. I'm happy to follow your pets normal routine while you're away. I like to keep things as close to your pets’ normal routine as possible. I’ll follow whatever routines and house rules you have — Dogs on the bed? ✅ No animals on the furniture? ✅ Shoes off at the door and wipe your paws before coming in? ✅ Your pet gets a bedtime snack? Absolutely ✅ ✅ Whatever works in your home, works for me! And when it comes to your home, I treat it with the same respect I’d expect someone to have for mine. I’ll keep things clean, follow your house rules, and make sure everything is in order when you get home. Basically: you give me the instructions, I’ll follow them. Your pets get spoiled, your house stays respected, and everyone wins. 🐾

About: Hi there! I’m Alana – a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for four-legged friends. I’ve never lived in a home without a dog. My very first pup joined our family when I was just five years old, and since then, I’ve had the joy of raising and loving many wonderful pets. My fur baby, Luna, has been by my side for 16 years since she was just six weeks old – she’s my heart and soul! She recently passed away and it’s left my home feeling very empty which is why pet sitting will bring me joy. I also foster dogs from time to time that need a loving home until they find their forever family. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs (and other pets!) while their humans are away. It comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love it. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the time, flexibility, and energy to give your dog the attention, companionship, and TLC they deserve throughout the day. What sets me apart? Years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities A calm, pet-loving home environment with plenty of affection Daily availability and flexible scheduling A genuine passion for treating your pet like family Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just needs some company while you’re gone, I’m here to help them feel safe, happy, and loved. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your fur baby! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day to give your pet plenty of love, care, and attention. your pet will always have a calm, watchful presence nearby. We also have a gentle four-year-old daughter who adores animals and is used to being around dogs, especially our own sweet senior pup. Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and attentive home environment where they’ll never feel lonely. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. I create a calm, loving environment where your pup can feel relaxed, safe, and completely at home. Dogs are absolutely allowed on the furniture — snuggles on the couch are encouraged here! I have a fully fenced-in yard that’s perfect for running, playing, and enjoying fresh air in a secure space. I also live just a short walk from a quiet park, ideal for safe and enjoyable walks tailored to your dog’s energy level. Your pup will never be alone — I’m home during the day, and my husband works from home too. That means there’s always someone around to provide attention, belly rubs, potty breaks, and playtime. I’m attentive to your dog’s needs, routines, and personality — whether they’re active and playful or a laid-back lounger. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, feeding routines, medication schedules, or preferences to make their stay as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Your dog will be loved, watched over, and cared for like one of our own — because that’s exactly how I treat them.

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience What sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give every pet in my care. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or reassurance. I enjoy playtime, walks, cuddles, enrichment activities, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. 🐶❤️ I understand that every pet is different—some want to play nonstop, some prefer a cozy nap, and some need a little time to warm up. I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care and attention they deserve. My goal is simple: happy pets, happy owners, and plenty of tail wags! 🐾 🐾 My Schedule Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I can work with different schedules and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine, including walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. 🐶❤️ I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a relaxing walk, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to be there! 🐕🐾 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. When caring for a pet in their home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own home. I carefully follow their routines, feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns to help prevent escapes or accidents. I give pets plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. 🐶❤️ Most importantly, I want you to feel confident knowing your furry family member is being safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾

Two years ago we had the great luck of coming across Dina here on the Rover app. I’ve lost track as to how many times we have worked with her at this point but she has been absolutely amazing! We have a large breed dog with a high separation anxiety that has gotten better with extensive training but due to these issues, we could not utilize a kennel and are oddly glad at this point that we don’t! Our dog hates crates, is very strong willed, and we quickly learned that crates could not adequately contain him. We realized that a sitter was the best and only remaining option with him so here we are. Our dog is friendly but can be a bit stand-offish to people. This has not been the case with Dina and the warm caring relationship she immediately established with him! The pictures of him snuggling and resting peacefully while we are away are amazing! Dina is prompt in her service. She communicates clearly and takes care of our lug as if he was her own. Thank you for being a true professional, Dina! The peace of mind you provide is far better than we’d hoped for! You are the BEST!! 10/10!!!

Haylie was hands down the best sitter we have every worked with! She was extremely thorough, professional, and so loving to our beagle, border collie, and three parrots. She followed every instruction to a T and even went above and beyond to take the trash out / clean up the place before we came back from our vacation. We were so worried after moving away from Providence that it would be harder to find good sitters, but Haylie is a god-send! She sent us many updates about each of the pets daily and we had no worries in the slightest while on our vacation! Will definitely book with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Warwick

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in West Warwick is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $133 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 October 2026, there are 1,484 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Warwick. 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 Warwick 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 Warwick 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 Warwick 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.
