“K usually takes our pup on walks weekly, but we decided to have her watch our pup overnight for a few days while we were on vacation. K took great care of our pup and sent us tons of updates. Our pup had so much fun with her and her son!”
“Another perfect stay with Debby! We now lovingly refer to a visit with Debby as a visit to Mookie's second home. As always, Debby sent lots of photos, videos, and snippets about the day to make sure we knew that Mookie was at his best. Debby is a gift to both the pet and the pet-parent, and we feel so fortunate to have made this connection.”
“Rhody always has a great time with Jessica and Abu. It's difficult leaving him as he gets older and Jessica is the only one we trust. She loves him like her own and takes such good care of him. Thanks to her we are able to travel knowing he's in the best hands. Always a 5 star experience!”
“Leanne and Michael took great care of Cooper while I was away. They sent me updates with pictures throughout his stay. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would definitely recommend using them if you need to board or are in need of any of services they offer. They are lovely!”
“I was so happy with Julia taking care of Riley. I knew he was in good hands, I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about him. She kept me informed, great pictures and she was kind, patient with him, and really cared about him. We will use her again. Thank you!!”
“Elba is always so good with Riot, I trust he’s in good hands any time he’s at her home. She also sends plenty of videos, pictures, and updates and treats Riot as if he was her own family member.”
“Marilyn was an absolute blessing! She accepted Smoky last minute after my original sitter canceled while I was here visiting from Florida for a family vacation. From the moment I met her, I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving him in her care. She kept me updated, sent pictures, took him on walks, and made sure he was happy and engaged. It was obvious Smoky truly enjoyed his time with her. She even told me he was such a joy and hated to see him leave, which meant so much to me and showed how much she truly cared for him. I truly appreciated the love and care she gave him. The next time I bring Smoky home, Marilyn will absolutely be my first and only choice. Highly recommend her!”
“Danielle was fantastic! She suggested meeting up before our trip so that we could meet and Pretzel could get familiar with her house, which I really appreciated. She was super communicative while we were away and sent lots of photos and videos. Our dog was all smiles in every picture; I could tell they were having a blast together. 10/10 would recommend Danielle and I absolutely plan on contacting her again the next time we go away.”
“Eliza did a great job of catsitting my two kittens; she provided regular photo and video updates and was available to answer questions. My kittens had a lovely time with her!”
“We had an absolutely amazing experience with Daniel! He was wonderful with our Eliza, but what really stood out was his incredibly thoughtful communication. We could tell he cared about making her stay full of love, care and belly rubs. His updates with photos made being away so much easier, and we picked up our girl knowing she was in excellent hands. Highly recommend!”
“Alana was amazing with our puppy, she sent so many great pictures and treated him so well! He was in very good hands and I didn’t worry at all while he was with her family! She has a wonderful home and a big yard, along with a 4 year old who is lovely with pets. Highly recommend boarding with Alana!!”
“Zachary was just the best - kind, attentive, and most importantly RJ came back to us happy! We were provided with plenty of photo updates & were thrilled to see RJ’s new pup friends. We will definitely (and only) use Zachary in the future.”
“Michelle took amazing care of my puppy Butter during her stay! Butter came home happy, well-fed, and clearly loved. Michelle kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate the attention and care she gave—Butter can't wait to visit again! I’m already looking forward to my next getaway knowing Butter is in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Oliver was so well taken care of. I got many updates and pics. Lots of exercise and love was given. They were super easy to communicate with as well and were flexible about drop off time to accommodate my work schedule. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Karen made our dog feel right at home and has a perfect fenced in yard that is dedicated to the dogs. Her Lab made the perfect companion to keep our excited pup busy and entertained. Karen also sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with, definitely going to be returning next time we need a sitter!”
“This is the second time Jean has watch Lucy. Once again Jean was fabulous with Lucy. Lucy was very content during her overnight stay and was very trusting of Jean. We will definitely use Jean again.”

Bailey absolutely loved spending the weekend with Anely and her family! Anely was incredibly sweet, wonderful, and accommodating, especially with our last-minute booking. She was always prompt with her responses, and we loved receiving photos and updates while our fur baby was in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using her services again! 🐾❤️

I can’t recommend Elba enough! I needed someone to watch my Pudding last minute while I was dealing with some personal issues, and she stepped up without hesitation. From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She sent me pictures of him playing, having fun, and enjoying himself every single day, which meant so much to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him as if he were her own. Finding someone you can trust with your fur baby isn’t always easy, but Elba made the entire experience stress-free. I’m so grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and the love she showed Pudding. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, I highly recommend her! ❤️
We can’t say enough good things about Eliza! She took Marvin in with such short notice, it was impressive. The handoff was super easy and Eliza was very communicative; sharing photos and videos of Marvin. These were great action shots! Not only that, but she was very flexible when plans changed due to a flight change. We highly recommend her and will be bringing Marvin back whenever we need a sitter!
Remi spent 2 nights with Kae and her family—the first time my 2-year-old pup stayed overnight with anyone. He had a great time! How do I know? He was in her arms when she opened the door. Glad to see me but not frantic to get at me. Content. Bright-eyed. Will definitely ask again if he can stay with Kae. Thank you!!
Can’t say enough wonderful things about Kendra. Per usual she sends frequent updates, photos and videos. My little girl is obsessed with her backyard and is clearly very comfortable with Kendra and her house. I really am always so calm and comforted when Cece is at Kendra’s house. A++++++

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cranston is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 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 1,087 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cranston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Cranston 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 Cranston home-away-from-home, 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 Cranston.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Cranston 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 , 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 .
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.
