About: I've been responsible for taking care of pets ever since I can remember- cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. However, for the past few years I've been traveling a lot and so do not have any pets currently. Throughout the years, I've been a Vet Tech and adopted and fostered puppies through hospice dogs and several cats, and have had extremely friendly and reactive dogs. I'm willing to meet your pet where they are. I work from home and really enjoy my area of the world, so I tend to be a homebody during the week. I go for daily beach walks and enjoy swimming when it's warm enough. My neighborhood is great for walking, too. I love to get out and hike or explore on the weekends, but am also happy with projects around the house. High energy pups and couch potatoes are both welcome. I have a 4 foot fenced in yard and plenty of couch space. It's important to do what I can to help your pet be comfortable in a new environment, so I try to keep to their schedule as much as possible. I do have a large crate and room for you to bring your own if that works better. The ticks are out in force so please make sure your dog is on preventive. I cannot accept dogs with bite history or food/toy aggression.

About: Hi, I’m Zoe and I love all dogs! I’ve been pet sitting for many years now. I am used to having dogs in my home and caring for them outside of my home. I have experience with special needs dogs as well. I am home all day during the week as I work from home in the pet industry! I will run, walk, you name it! As long as the dog is happy and cared for! I have a fenced in yard. I have experience with all different sizes and breeds. I have cared for up to 10 dogs at once! I have a German Shepherd named Zeppelin. He LOVES dogs!! I have decided to walk/sit/board on Rover because I genuinely enjoy it and would love the opportunity more often. I work from home and I actually work in the pet industry! Because I work from home I am home all day during the week. The pups love sitting by me and popping in my meetings to say hello! I treat all pets in my home like my own. They are members of the family so they are allowed on all furniture and my bed. I want your pet to be as comfortable and happy as possible during their stay!

About: Hi, I'm Ella! I'm a lifelong animal lover based in Rhode Island, and I genuinely believe pets are family. My background is in public service and childcare, which has taught me the importance of responsibility, communication, patience, and creating a safe environment for the people (and pets!) who depend on me. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, snuggling on the couch, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'm happy to adjust to their individual personality and needs. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I make communication a priority. I'll always provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. I have experience caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels, and I'm comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and household rules. When your pet is with me, they'll receive lots of attention, plenty of affection, and the same level of care I'd want for my own pet. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work full-time for the State of Rhode Island and work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I'm also currently pursuing my Master's degree online through the University of Rhode Island, which gives me additional flexibility throughout the week. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine and schedule to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a long walk, or extra playtime, I'm committed to providing dependable and personalized care. I take the safety and comfort of both pets and their homes very seriously. Since I will be caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to be respectful of the space, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and keep everything clean, secure, and well cared for. I also have experience working as a Property Manager for Universal Services LLC, which has given me experience with maintaining properties, keeping spaces safe and clean, and being trusted with other people’s homes and belongings. I understand the importance of being responsible, reliable, and respectful when someone is trusting you with their home. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while also giving you peace of mind that your home is in good hands while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very young and love taking my pups on walks! I have a gray Labrador retriever that I love (and miss a lot since I am out of state studying at UVM)! I would be happy to take your best friend on a stroll and am well versed with different kinds of puppy personalities, and do not mind either waiting for pups to stop at times and get a good sniff of the environment around them or a pup that wants to walk the whole way through! I am available Monday-Fridays after 5:00pm and Saturday and Sunday anytime! On the time I am not available I am studying, doing yoga or with my own dog Csonka <3 Lots of belly rubs and love of course! I will always have treats on me and would love to throw around your pets favorite toy! (My dogs favorite toy at home is a plush octopus that he cannot separate from) so I am totally open in allowing toys to come on walks! And you can always ask me any suggestions as well :)

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was a kid. Mainly molosser breeds. I’m a very active person so high energy dogs are more than welcome. I can assist with teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, lay, leave it, and recall commands. Things you can expect under my care: walks, runs, and training if needed and requested. If given permission, dog parks and occasional trips to the beach depending on the weather and time under my care. I work full time Monday through Friday 5am-3:30pm so I recommend booking for the weekend for long stays. Shorter stays can be made during weekends between 3:30pm-6:30pm (length of care Monday-Friday may be negotiated) Care will be primarily conducted out in town as I do not have a yard. If home pets will be crated with scheduled potty times.

About: I've always loved being around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, giving medication if needed, or simply keeping them company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, so I'm available for pet care after work on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I'll also be returning to college soon, but I'll keep my availability updated and am happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I'll always communicate clearly and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to keep that routine consistent while you're away. I'll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're my own. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I live in a comfortable and engaging home, where I have been caring for my little balls of energy for more than 10 years and counting. I know how important it is to be able to take care of your loved ones, especially when you may be physically unable to. I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for most dogs to spend some outdoor time in and I also live near park areas if they need a little extra room. I have a growing assortment of toys to also help fulfill any entertainment needs your pet may desire beyond personal attention. I am extremely attentive and observant, so it is very important to me that pets are always comfortable and that they are maintaining healthy behaviors when they are within my care. I understand how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your pets with someone other than yourself, so I want to assure you - I absolutely adore animals, and would love the opportunity to not only take care of yours one day, but to also build a relationship that is dependable and trustworthy. I recently made the decision to return to school closer to home, so I'll have plenty of time to look after your pets while working/studying from home. I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs that are small and extremely friendly. I make sure they get exercise everyday and maintain a stable diet. I try to inspire good behavior by rewarding it and also try to fulfill their attentiveness needs (such as playing with them occasionally or ensuring they are clean by performing fur checks)

About: My name is Breanne! I own a hound/ GSD, two cats, and I am fostering a lab! I used Rover in a pinch one day so I know how important this job is and how much of a lifesaver it can be! I would love the opportunity to help someone else in a pinch and make a dog happy at the same time. I am very active, I run trails, walk, hike, I can take your dog to the park, hiking, whatever you need. I have experience with various harness tools, etc.. as my dog is a working dog and we are constantly training. I love spending time with pets in all settings and I’m happy to help in any way I can! I also volunteer at a rescue in my spare time and coordinate spay and neuter services. I currently telework three days a week and have the flexibility to increase this when necessary. I work Monday - Friday 8-3:30pm and can work from anywhere. I believe in maintaining a pets routine to the best of my ability. Having your best friend away can be stressful enough, I do my best to ease your pet’s discomfort as much as possible.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always come naturally to me! I’ve grown up with dogs and have hands-on experience walking and helping care for my own fur babies over the as well as my siblings’ dogs. I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, taking a potty break, playing, or relaxing together during a drop-in visit, I’ll treat your fur baby with the same care and affection I’d want someone to give my own! 🐾❤️ I recently relocated to Rhode Island for Work (which though flexible, isn’t consistent enough to allow me to be able to have a dog of my own 😢) I balance my pet care commitments with a full-time career, so I understand how important scheduling and reliability are! My availability varies throughout the week, with opportunities for weekday visits, evenings, and weekends. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine while making sure I can give them the attention and care they deserve. I value communication, planning ahead, and keeping pet parents updated, so you can feel confident your fur baby is in caring hands! 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority! I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s fur baby seriously and will follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking routines, potty breaks, and any special needs. During walks, I’ll stay attentive to our surroundings and keep your pup secure on their leash. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh water if needed, a clean and safe space, and plenty of love and attention. I will treat your home with the same respect I would my own, ensuring doors are securely locked, belongings are respected, and your pet is comfortable before I leave. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves patience, kindness, and a safe environment! 🐾❤️

About: My family and I have fostered dogs and cats, and litters of puppies and kittens since I was nine years old. Being homeschooled for a majority of my childhood, I was able to learn about taking care of these needy animals at such a young age. We have fostered dogs and cats of almost all ages, from newborns to adults. Even during the years, my family and I fostered these animals, I’ve had multiple neighbors at a time rely on me to visit and walk their dogs while they’re at work. That is how I got my first job at 11 years old. I’m out of school for the summer, so I am free practically whenever your pups need me! I can drop in/walk daily or weekly, whatever works for you! With my school and work schedule and the living situation I’m in, I don’t currently offer boarding services, but that may change in the future!

About: My name is Sarah and I'm 33 years old. I took a little stint from Rover to focus on my professional career but I'm back and so excited to start petsitting again! Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I was young. I worked at a vet throughout high school and even started my own dog sitting company in Charleston, SC upon graduation from Virginia Tech - safe to say, I've always been obsessed with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and ages, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, dogs those with disabilities, cats that require medication, etc. You name it, I've probably had to handle it in all my years of pet care. I love taking dogs on adventures - the beach, hiking trails, etc. I will treat your fur babies like my own and give them the exercise and TLC they deserve while you are away! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open (including weekends). I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and doggy day care (this includes walks, feeding, TLC, medication administration, etc.). I also offer overnight care, whether that be in your home or mine (whatever you and your pet prefer). This is a service I'm currently offering to private clients but am starting to extend to Rover. In my client's homes, I always let them take the lead with their comfortability and with their pet's normal routine. I want to make sure your pet hardly notices you are gone and that they are 100% comfortable and happy with someone in their environment. Whether that means crating them, walking them at specific times, having designated playtime. Again, I let the client take the lead on instructing me in those cases. When I bring a pet into my home, it's important that they get along with cats, as I have two who are very friendly and don't interact too much with my/client's dogs. Currently my Husky is staying with my mom in Virginia, so he will not be in the apartment. I want my space to feel as "homey" to them as possible, so whatever is needed to make that happen, I accommodate.

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.

Grace was great with our dogs. We scheduled for a drop in - where Grace would just pop in to take the girls out to pee and make sure they had water, basically - and we were so pleased with how communicative Grace was during the process. We didn't expect to get as many pictures as we did but it allowed my partner and I to relax during an outing, knowing our dogs were taken care of. Grace kept us in the loop for the entire process. Will absolutely book with Grace again!

Absolutely amazing person. One of my pups can be very barky around new people until he gets used to them and Kemba handled this with confidence and fearlessness I have never seen before. Seriously, the last Rover we tried got scared off and said he was too much for her. It was difficult to find someone who would take the job, which is frustrating because while he wouldn’t hurt a fly he has a loud, and to some, intimidating bark. Kemba drove well out of his way to help us out, had no fear or apprehension when meeting him for the first time and was able to provide coverage on the days we needed with Shadow clearly having warmed up to him after a few visits. 10/10 will be booking him EVERY time a checkin is needed from now on!

Jessica was fantastic with Lucky! From the moment he saw her at the meet and greet, they immediately clicked. I hired her to come twice a day and she always went above and beyond sending photos of Lucky throughout her visits. He always looked like he was having a great time while she was over. She took him on walks, played with him, and really kept him engaged. I'm always sad when I leave Lucky for a few days, but having Jessica there to keep him company eased my nervousness completely. Would have her watch him again in a heartbeat.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Cranston 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 Cranston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cranston. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
