Maryann did a drop in visit with our cat when we went out of town. She was very prompt with responding and very thorough about his care when we met before our trip. We knew he would be in good hands!

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.

Mackenzie was an absolutely incredible cat sitter. She gave our kitty lots of love and followed all of our instructions without issue. She left our home just as we had and she had excellent communication throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate at all to have her as our cat sitter again if we get the opportunity. I fully recommend Mackenzie if you are looking for someone to take care of your furry friend.

About: Hii! I volunteered at shelters but I preferred building a relationship with pets in Rhode Island :) I grew up around many dogs and cats. A fun challenge was when we adopted our German Shepherd puppy! Training him was a fun challenge, but it was harder (yet more rewarding) when we adopted his brother as well! Now they’re grown and trained but I can still see the little puppy they are in their eyes! I also have a senior dog that needs extra care, but I love making sure she’s comfy and gets her massages. I work a hybrid 9-5, so I can make time mornings and evenings for pet care. On my work from home days I am more flexible to do care during the day. Weekends are fully available! In your home I would make sure pets are in their designated areas and can’t escape! Cleanliness is the largest thing I would keep in mind while making sure your pet is comfortable!

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. My first job was working as a cat sitter for my neighbor’s young cat, Monkey. I’ve stayed at neighbors houses to watch their dogs since high school, providing regular walks, enrichment, and love. I’ve worked with puppies as young as 10 weeks and dogs as old as 12 years. I’ve worked with pets with special needs and medication needs. Most importantly, I truly love animals. As my sister’s weenie dog puppy can attest, nothing makes me happier than having an animal curled up on my lap. Even if it means dealing with some scratches or disciplining, being around pets is always worth it! As a student, my schedule is super flexible. I’m happy to take care of pets whenever I can. I love early morning walks, so I’m available as early as 7:30 am. My house requires getting up a few flights of stairs, so large senior pups may struggle. Otherwise, any animals are welcome. I’m happy to stay at other folks’ homes as I know this often makes animals more comfortable. I’m flexible to whatever your house rules are!

About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.

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.

Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.

About: Proud cat and dog owner, I’ve also been house/pet-sitting for friends and family throughout the years, I can help clip claws, administer medicine, go on walks, enrichment activities! I can do it all! Currently between full time jobs post-graduating college, so I am more than available for any of your pet sitting needs! You can reach me through Rover or my phone number! At home I have a pet friendly home, fenced in yard and even gates throughout the thresholds to make sure pets are monitored in a contained (large, free-roaming) area. I am someone who is very cautious when it comes to safety as well, always making sure doors are locked, electric devices are turned off, and that I know where the pets are at all times.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, not just the usual dogs and cats, but also horses, goats, chickens, and many other farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me how to care for all kinds of animals with confidence, patience, and genuine love. I’ve babysat dogs, cats, and even bunnies for others, and I have hands-on experience with tasks like feeding, bathing, grooming, and giving each pet plenty of playtime and cuddles. I’ve also trained my own dogs over the years, working on things like sitting, staying, and basic manners. Because of my lifelong experience and my deep love for animals, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m committed to making every animal feel safe, happy, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m a full-time student at URI, but on most weekdays I finish classes no later than 4:30, which means I’m available for evening visits, walks, and drop-ins. I also keep my weekends open for pet care, giving me plenty of flexible time for longer visits or overnight stays. I do attend church on Sunday mornings for about an hour with family but aside from that, my schedule is very open. I’m committed to making sure each pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and care, and I always plan my days so I can give animals the time and love they deserve. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions exactly as given. I make sure pets get plenty of playtime, attention, and affection, and I always keep their environment clean, refreshing water, tidying up any messes, and maintaining their normal living space. I also send updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe, calm, and cozy space where they can relax and feel at home. I’m attentive to their needs throughout the day, whether that’s exercise, training, cuddles, or quiet time. I make sure they’re supervised, comfortable, and getting the same love and structure they’re used to. No matter where I’m caring for them, I focus on making every pet feel safe, loved, and well taken care of.

About: I’m an Animal Science (Pre-Vet) student with hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, horses, and other animals through veterinary, grooming, farm, and shelter work. I’ve worked in a feline animal hospital and have experience with low stress handling, feeding routines, medication support, bathing, enrichment, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort in animals. What sets me apart is that I combine real animal care experience with a fun, patient, and reliable personality. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. As a college student studying Animal Science (Pre-Vet), I love spending my free time around animals and can dedicate plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care to pets throughout the day. I’m available for weekday and weekend care and can adjust to different pets’ routines and needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routines as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and clean living areas. In my home, while I don’t have a backyard, I live in a safe neighborhood and make up for it with long walks, exercise, and lots of attention and enrichment. I pay close attention to animal behavior and body language so I can recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and help pets feel relaxed and loved!

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!

I’m very pleased with Samantha service. I was always informed about anything, any changes or behaviors with my dear 4 paws daughter. I definitely would hire Samantha again. She went above and beyond. Example: I told her that she didn’t necessarily need to take my Sam for walks but she asked if she could, I said that It was all up to her. my daughter loved it!!!

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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Cranston 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 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 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 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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
