“Julia was great with our pup! She was prompt, friendly, and was very understanding even though we had a last minute change on our end. We look forward to her coming back and would highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up loving animals and caring for family pets. I have since become a wildlife biologist, getting paid to work with animals is a dream! I have worked in a vet clinic before and spent summers in collage looking after friends and family pets. I work full time 8-5 and spend about half my hours working from home. I occasionally have long nights in the field but I should know ahead of time when those occur. I am always very cautious when watching other people's pets in their homes. I know each pet is unique and needs different care to make them feel comfortable. I am dedicated to giving that specialize care to each pet.
“Wendy did an excellent job caring for Austin while we were on vacation. He was much happier when we returned, Wendy let him out of his outdoor garage/kennel combination and he was able to run and play. Water and cereal were full, and the kennel clean. Wendy arrived and left at agreed upon timeframes, and did a truly exceptional job! We were extremely pleased, and now we know someone we can trust to take care of things when we're away.”
About: I have been taking care of my family members dogs since I was 12 years old. With my cousins living across the street they have always had pets I have fallen in love with. Golden retrievers, golden doodles, bernadoodles, and the same fierce cat hazel. I have spent nights at theirs taking care of the dogs as they were on vacation. These were always my favorite times because I have never had a pet myself but I consider theirs my own. I am not currently working full time with a flexible summer schedule so I can make myself available to help you and your busy schedules!! I have a large backyard on a safe col de sac with very little road traffic. My cousins dogs love to roam around my home. At your homes I will always have an eye on the dogs outside, inside, and ensuring they are safe and happy at all times!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have owned dogs, cats, a horse, rabbits, birds, rodents and reptiles. I currently have two cats and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs and routines. I offer walks, drop ins, and overnight care for both dogs and cats. I’m flexible whether your dog (or cat) wants a long or short walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company. I pet sit outside of Rover and am happy to provide local references. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I always provide frequent updates, photos, and videos. I work full-time in Guilford during the week, but I’m available before and after work, on weekends, and for overnight house sitting. My Rover calendar is set to weekends only, but I can often accommodate weekday requests as well depending on location and timing. I know it’s important to trust someone with your pets and in your home. I follow instructions closely, help keep routines consistent, and keep your pet safe and comfortable. I’m happy to provide references and send frequent updates, photos, and videos.
“We left Emma in Maggie's care and she took very good care of our 12 yo lab. Maggie administered medicine took her for walks fed her and made sure she was taken care of while we were away. Very happy with service she provided and wouldn't hesitate to hire her again! Thanks Maggie”
About: I’ve always owned a dog since I was born. I grew up with a beautiful german shepard and currently own 2 mixed breed rescue dogs. Some people call me the animal whisperer because whenever I go to their house their dog/cat runs to me and wants to enjoy my company. I don’t have professional experience with pets but I did personally train my two dogs, and they are very well behaved and listen to commands. I’m currently working part-time while searching for a new steady full-time job. In the mean time, I felt like taking this opportunity to supervise other owners’ dogs when they’re in need and when I have free time to make some extra cash would benefit everyone. I own two dogs, Heidi and Bailey. Heidi is an absolute sweetheart and very down to earth. Bailey is also adorable and just wants to show love, however she was a rescue pup and suffers severe anxiety, ptsd, and separation anxiety. While my two dogs do get along with each other, Bailey can get quite protective and aggressive with dogs she has not met before. There have been times where in a large open space she was able to calmly meet other dogs. I would be able to come to my client’s house to pet-sit but would not be able to bring my client’s pet to my house just for the safety of the situation and our pets.
“Isis did a great job taking care of my pets. I had peace of mind knowing they were left in good hands. She responded to my messages very quickly, and kept me informed. My dog was being a little difficult for her, but she worked it out. She made sure all of my pets were safe and well cared for. I highly recommend her!”
“Erin speaks dog! It took no time for her to win approval from my shy pup. She is also a good communicator with humans. Erin is punctual and respectful, plus she is great at remembering my dog’s needs.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and currently have six kitties and one high-energy dog, (his name is Rover, for real)! He’s a hound mix, 80ish pound rescue who keeps me busy! I’ve often helped my kids with their pet sitting work, and enjoy animals immensely!! I work part-time in Westerly, and would love to add pet sitting and/or dog walking to my day. I’m currently available 7am-6pm Monday through Thursday, but at some point around mid Oct, my availability will be 3-6pm Mondays through Wednesdays, and 2pm - 6pm on Thursdays. Generally a dog walk would include only your dog(s), I don’t double up clients. I walk for a full 30 minutes, and then play, cuddle and take some notes for 10-15 minutes so the rate for service is for about 45 minutes. Same for drop in visits, I will keep your cat(s) and or dog(s) happy by hanging out with them, especially for med visits and just people time. I never let my dog off leash unless we are in a fenced in area. We are very safe by walking only on sidewalks and we generally avoid other animals if we can help it just to be on the safe side.
About: Rest assured, your pet will get the best care and a new goofy nickname! I’ve trained puppies, cats and even a guinea pig. I’m work from home, and can give your pet all the attention it requires and wants. I’m work from home and can travel anywhere with wifi. I’m able to do whatever schedule you need! Very flexible and very accommodating to last minute needs or extensions. Consistency is everything, bathroom breaks and feeding schedules set. I’ve cared for all types of animals and would love to care for your furry friend.
About: I have experience providing reliable pet care, including dog walking, feeding, and attentive supervision to ensure pets stay safe, active, and well cared for. I have done jobs over 2 weeks or occasional walks. I am currently working part-time and am a Graduate student, so I should have plenty of time to help with daily walks or overnight stays. May need to work around occasional 6 hour shifts or a traveling weekend, but otherwise available I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times, whether in my home or the client’s home.

About: I’m a 41 year old professional who loves animals. I have a 4 year old cat of my own and have always wanted a puppy as a child. Animals are loving and calming to me. I help care for them they help me. I will dog walk which keeps them happy and me active. I will drop in on cats and dogs to feed play with and help go to the bathroom. If it’s the right fit for your family and pup I would stay 1 night a week and definitely weekends overnight while people are away or traveling. I am an open communicator, reliable, respectful, trustworthy professional. Please get to know me so I can get to know you and your animal has the best experience possible. I currently have lots of availability and I would be my pleasure to walk and check in for your pups and cats several times a week. I have a yard on a dead end street, a big basement and am very close to Wilcox Park, ready for long walks in great neighborhood with lots to explore.
About: Currently I have a chocolate lab and we get 2 to 3 walks a day but when I couldn’t be there for those walks due to my work schedule in the past I would rely on a family member to stop in check on him and that alway gave me good piece of mind knowing he was in good hands that he was safe and I’m sure that every dog owner wants to feel the same way. I have always thought of my dogs as one of the family in making sure they are comfortable,cared for and safe and I’m sure I can provide the same care for your dog when needed because I feel your dog could be one of my family. Thank you
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life all from the animal shelter with different past and behaviors. I’ve learned to help with these traits and have love and compassion for all dogs. Nothing would make me happier then taking care and walking your dogs! :) I’m currently only picking up shifts at my job so I have lots of free time. And I also go to community college tuesday and and thursday. So most days and hours can be adjusted to fit your schedule! I have a fenced in yard and a loving playful dog my self. I do have a smaller home so it likely only smaller dogs will be able to come to my house. But i’m vary adaptive to other people homes and living situations, and taking care of your pup!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Westerly stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Westerly 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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Westerly with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
