About: I have the luxury of doing pet care full time! Which means i am home to tend to your fur babies needs while they are staying at our house! We do daily walks, playtime, supervision all day long! We have dogs of our own as well! If you feel more comfortable having your dogs separate from ours, we have the ability to do so! i am able to administer medications, I have experience of all breeds from puppy-senior. I have a lot of experience with reactive dogs! I understand dog body language as I’ve been going to our trainer with our dogs for quite some time! As I work from home, I have 100% access/supervision to your pets while they are staying in their home away from home with me and my family! i care for your dogs like they’re my own! I always always always put my dogs needs before myself. I would treat yours the same way! I know how difficult it can be to find someone to give you peace of mind to watch your prized possession! I am extremely cautious when it comes to our dogs, so yours would be treated no different!

“Ashley did a fantastic job of entertaining my pup for the day while we couldn’t! She made sure he got fed properly, had plenty of time to play outside/walk with her dogs, and gave all the affection he needed. She even taught him how to do paw! We will definitely be reaching out again if we need help. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog had an amazing time with Danielle and we couldn’t be more pleased. Danielle is communicative, attentive, and incredibly accommodating to our dog, who requires a bit more patience and understanding than most. It’s a huge relief knowing our dog is in such good hands when we’re busy. We highly recommend Danielle and will definitely book with her again.”
“Paige is friendly and professional. Both times she cared for my dog she shared updates including pictures of her kids playing withs pup. She has an adequate fenced in yard incase weather gets in the way of walks. I felt completely at ease both times Paige took care of my guy. Would highly recommend.”
“We needed someone to watch Lucy just for the day and Jean was the perfect person. Lucy was very comfortable with Jean and was a happy girl when we picked her up. Jean gave her lots of attention and took her on two walks. We have already booked with Jean again.”
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry friend in someone else’s care, and I treat every pet like family with patience, love, and attention tailored to their unique needs. As a Shiba Inu owner, I know that every dog (and cat!) has their own personality, quirks, and comfort level. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, independent adult dogs, and gentle senior pets who may need a little extra time and care. Koda, our dog, is the sweetest, friendliest and most calm dog I know. He would welcome any visitor with open paws and play with them during the stay. I work from home, so pets get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to adjust to their routine, whether that’s feeding, exercise, or just keeping them company. At my home, pets enjoy a fenced yard, plenty of playtime, and the company of my friendly dog, Koda. In our home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: Please be advised I am no longer accepting Pet Drop In or Walking visits M-F. But please message me anyway. About me: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty with just me and my elderly mother. I still love to have my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet in my home or your home. I also work from home M-F, so your pet will have me with them for a majority of the time I’m caring for them. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home or in your home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of all different breads and sizes. I can handle large/strong dogs as well as puppies that need extra attention. We have kids and our own dog (Beira, the Scottish Terrier) so I know how important good, easy care is. As well as patience and attention. I am available during most days for quick care and walks built around school and kid activities. I have my own car and can make the trips or even transport if needed. Overnight care can be discussed as I'm open to it under a week long. I am flexible enough to meet your pet care needs. Basic walks and play, feeding, medicine distribution, and anything else you need. I myself am active so playing isn't an issue or even giving baths.
About: I LOVE animals! I recently lost my 13 year old soul dog who I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old. I have experience with senior and hospice dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your “kids” with someone new, but I promise to keep them safe, happy and loved. I currently do work but have flexible hours and am able to work from home if needed. I am available weekdays/nights and weekends to watch your “kids” I have a single family home where dogs are allowed on the furniture. I also have a fully fenced in back yard for your pups to play in.
“Adam is a true dog lover. My dog Duke was happy to visit and romp with his 3 dogs i(n his fenced in yard) who love to play. All 4 dogs were afternoon napping on his bed Wonderful! I highly recommend Adam and will definately book again.”
About: I have grown up around and with dogs, have experience with many different sizes and breeds. I have experience and time taking care of every temperament. A general love and care for animals and pets. Your furry friend is my priority and fits with my availability and attention to ensure every party feels comfortable with the attention and love they receive I usually focus on care for dogs with making sure they are comfortable so if they need food, water, outside time or play, pets, or just a bathroom break, they will get it.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs, from growing up with them as a child to raising them as an adult. I currently own a puppy and love being hands-on with daily walks, training, and playtime. With years of experience providing consistent care, attention, and affection, I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life! I’m home daily, so your pet will have plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and lots of love rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. I truly enjoy having animals around and love making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their families are away. I’m happy to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible and give them the individual attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’m lucky to have a fenced-in dog park right in my neighborhood, which gives pups a safe space to play, exercise, and socialize. You can trust that your dog will always be cared for in a secure and loving environment.
“Another great few days with Ty! She communicates clearly, follows through on all logistics and timelines, and most importantly, cares for Dexter with kindness and diligence. He loves spending time with her!”
“We were extremely happy with Caroline. Our dog, Cleto, seemed to really like her. She took him for a walk, to the park, he played with other dogs and of course came home exhausted (in a good way!). If Caroline is available, we’ll definitely go back to her!”

I had an amazing experience with our sitter! They were incredibly communicative—giving me updates on Apollo every couple of hours, which really put my mind at ease. They went above and beyond by sending lots of photos, so I could see how happy and well cared for Apollo was. I feel completely confident and happy to book with them again. Truly a fantastic sitter!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Apponaug commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 620 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of RI. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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.
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 .
