“Keasha took great care of our dog Arnie. We got daily updates during his stay, and I did not have to worry about him while we were away. We would definitely be happy to have Arnie stay with Keasha again in the future!”
“Anne took great care of our dog, Ralph, while we were away. We got daily photo and text updates that gave us total peace of mind. Ralph came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Rafael took amazing care of our dog, Zelda. She is a very shy and fearful dog, and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter. He was incredibly patient with her and helped her build trust and feel safe during her stay. He also helped her become more comfortable around other dogs, which meant a lot to us. Rafael was always quick to respond, speaks both English and Spanish, and kept us updated with beautiful photos throughout Zelda's stay. He was kind, enthusiastic, respectful, and very understanding. What we appreciated the most was that he accepted our last-minute booking, which helped us so much. We are extremely happy with the care Zelda received and will definitely book with Rafael again for both boarding and daycare. We highly recommend him!”
“Winnie loved her stay with Leanne's and Michael's family. I was nervous at first leaving Miss W with people she had only just met, but when I saw just how much love and attention she was getting from the 2 boys, based on the photos Leanne sent daily, I sure she was getting the greatest of care! Thank you so much Leanne. And Winnie sends thanks to the boys! She can't wait until her next stay with you.”
“cannot recommend Isabel enough! She is truly the sweetest and most attentive dog sitter I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, she made me feel at ease by keeping me updated with messages and pictures, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares for dogs. She goes above and beyond to make sure my pup is happy, safe, and comfortable, and I never have to worry when she’s around. I fully trust her and plan to book her every chance I get. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and detail-oriented, look no further—she’s the best! 🐶💖”
“Sarah is the most amazing sitter ever! I travel with certainty that my cats will have the best care possible! She is very sweet and an animal lover like myself. Thank you Sarah!! 💝”
“Sunny had such a wonderful time with Nick - he stayed in touch and updated us with all sorts of details. He was willing to give her the medication she needed during her stay. We're so grateful to have found Nick and will definitely hire him again! Highly recommend!”
“Natalia was great about sending pictures and videos of my dog while I was away. It was our first time leaving her and she helped put my mind at ease, and it made my kids happy to know their dog was well taken care of!”
“Poppy had a wonderful weekend stay with Robert! He was so kind and attentive and shared lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We will happily send Poppy back for future stays with Robert!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Would 100% request Anita again. I'm am touched by her care for my pups, the daily updates, and shared media. I lucked out with her😭. I'm so glad coco played well with her dog 😍”
“Shawn was communicative from the start through to past when I picked Dakota up. Super friendly, super helpful and overall just great. Understanding of my concerns and Dakota’s wants and needs. Will definitely book with them again. :)”
“Marissa, was the absolute best! Great communication from the start. I took my dog with me on a business trip and she wasn’t doing well in the hotel. I felt so much better that Marissa was taking good care of her. She has so much experience with dogs and it shows. She was also very accommodating with pick up and drop off. I couldn’t have left my pup in better hands. I would definitely recommend, and I’ll be using her service again next time I am in town.”
About: I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember—big, small, young, old, and nearly every breed in between. Currently, I’m the proud pet parent to two senior dogs, which means I know firsthand how to give older pups the gentle patience, calm environment, and extra care they deserve. Since I work from home, my schedule is wide open for playtime, belly rubs, and hanging out with your wigglebutts—big or small! With all-day supervision, timely potty breaks, and meals served right on schedule, you can rest easy knowing your furry babies are living their best, happiest lives while you're away. 🐾 Welcome to your pup’s home away from home! 🐾 Here is what makes our spot the ultimate pet paradise: • The Zoomie Zone: We have a fully fenced-in backyard ready for all the fetch and sniffing your dog's heart desires. • The Chill Out Lounge: Got a shy fur baby or someone who just needs a break from my own pups? Our secure, quiet den is the perfect peaceful retreat. • Travel Light: Don't stress about packing heavy! We are fully stocked with extra toys, cozy blankets, and comfy kennels if your pup prefers their own safe sleeping space at night or while I'm out running quick errands. • Double the Love: The best part? I have a built-in assistant! My teen son is a certified animal lover who is always down for playtime and belly rubs. Your pet will never feel lonely here!
“Stitch and Bear had a great time at Erin’s place! Erin was wonderful! Thank you for helping us out when we were in a bind last minute. She accommodated with our furbabies needs, sent great photos/videos. My furbabies seemed to make themselves at home at her house! Again, thank you Erin!! We will definitely be rebooking with her again! 😁”
“I was very happy to have Christine watch my dog, Millie, again. Christine and her family are so sweet and I can tell Millie had a blast and was well taken care of. I also appreciate the updates she sends throughout the stay. Would highly recommend.”

Our dog got sick and she contacted us right away. She took her to the emergency vet and cared for her at 2am. She was very kind, patient and understanding. We couldn’t get back to get her right away and she watched Penny until we could have family get her. She worried about Penny and took great care of her. I can’t express my gratitude enough. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much
I can't recommend Franchesca enough! She did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my little Benji and truly made him feel right at home. From taking him on regular walks to giving him plenty of love, attention, and care, she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable throughout his stay. What I appreciated most was her excellent communication. She kept me updated every single day, giving me complete peace of mind knowing Benji was in such great hands and doing so well. It's not always easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Franchesca made the entire experience stress-free. I'm extremely grateful for the wonderful care she provided. Benji couldn't have been in better hands! I highly recommend Franchesca to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. I'll absolutely be using her services again in the future! 🐶❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve gone through pet sitter after pet sitter, and there’s always something that goes wrong, whether it’s not following instructions, not giving the pets enough attention, forgetting things, or just not communicating well. But Anely was seriously the BEST! 🥹 I’ll definitely be booking her again. She listened to every single one of my instructions, and trust me, I had A LOT. 🥲😂 I’m definitely one of those people who’s a little crazy about my fur babies, but she handled everything perfectly! Seriously, she was so worth it, and I couldn’t be happier. 10/10 would recommend! 🐾❤️
Karen was very easy to communicate with before and during my elderly dog Louie's stay. She really knows dogs, is kind and thoughtful. I received photos of Louie doing different things at different times of the day. She made sure that his comfort at her house, and with his usual routines was consistent. She's a very cool lady and I recommend 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!
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!!

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.
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, 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 Cranston.
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 Cranston. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 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.
