“Very nice option to have our dogs stay with Dana and Mathieu. This was the first time our dogs stayed overnight somewhere aside from home or with us. They were very kind, sent updates daily, and my dogs came home from their weekend visit relaxed. We recommend using Dana and Matheiu for your dog care needs!”
“Carolina and her family opened their home to Godfrey for 5 nights. This was Godfrey's first time being away from me and he was in the best of hands. Carolina stuck to his routine and gave me plenty of updates. Godfrey is a very special dog and his personality was able to shine through with Carolina! I am so happy with the experience and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Rebecca and Justin were absolutely amazing with my Lola. They treated our pup like family and we will most definitely leave her if we ever go on vacation again as we felt safe with them. Our Lola got along with her pups very well and her home was a perfect fit for her. I can’t recommend them enough; they are a warm loving family who will treat your pup like they were their own. Thank you again!!!”
“Dana made me feel so comfortable leaving our JRT. She is a true dog person and you feel that right away. Her yard is set up perfect for dogs to explore and run…especially important for a JRT. My dog was excited to see me but still looked back at the other dog friends he made.”
“My terrier seemed to have had a great time with Karissa, her 2 dogs and her family. We typically have family members take care of our pup but we felt totally comfortable leaving her in such good hands. I would not hesitate to use her services again if need be. Thanks so much.”
“Our boys were very happy with Elisa and family. We missed them so we came back early and Elisa insisted we on updating the reservation so we got a day of refund. We got photos while we were gone and a very special photo when we got back. I highly recommend this family.”
“Coco was well taken care of by Kerri and her family! I received updates and pictures while I was away which made leaving my baby so much easier. I would highly recommend Kerri to watch your dog anytime!”
“Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!! Our little furrie friend had a wonderful time and loved his daily walks. Lots of correspondence and pics from Christina to keep us in the know. Could not ask for more ...”
“Sharon took great care of our 14-year-old pup, Max. He was acting anxious, and Sharon put in extra effort to make sure he was comfortable ( extra bathroom breaks, calming treats). She communicated very well with us, too. We would 100% recommend her!”
“Erica and Tom were great, from the moment we dropped off our dog to picking him up. Charlie felt right at home as he was treated like on of their own. They even accommodated bringing Charlie all the way to our wedding just so we could get photographs with him after the ceremony. Great communication and would definitely use again.”
“Crystal is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and always takes such great care of Chip. You can genuinely tell how much she loves animals, which gives us complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to look after their pets.”
“Dawn is absolutely wonderful! She has a great home and yard to entertain her pet guests. Abby had a great time with her and her pups! She slept for a full day after I brought her home. I am very picky with who I choose to watch Abby, but I was very comforable leaving her with Dawn. She got much more love and care than she would have at a kennel. Dawn sent daily pictures and updates so I knew Abby was very well taken care of.”
“We are so happy with our experience with Julia (and Glenn, of course!). She took amazing care of Rosie and kept us updated with regular communication the entire time. Rosie absolutely loved spending time in her fenced backyard, chasing balls and playing with Glenn, who is an excellent sharer. We highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter!”
“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”
“Brittany was so great! She sent lots of photos of all the fun our dogs were having, keeping my mind at ease. She walked the dogs and made sure they had plenty of exercise, and from the looks of it- a ton of fun. Absolutely phenomenal!”
“Rebekah took GREAT care of my anxious, senior Springer Spaniel. She kept me updated on how he was doing and he was clearly relaxed, comfortable, and well attended. I would absolutely leave Seamus with her again!”
“Zoe was great! My dog had a great time and got along very well with her own dog. Zoe has a big backyard that the dogs were able to romp around in which was great. She was very good about sending photo updates and keeping us up to speed :)”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Westerly is $59 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Westerly can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Westerly home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Westerly.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westerly. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
You and your Westerly sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
