“Having Rania be apart of our dog care team has been amazing! We hired Rania after I suffered a serious injury that required surgery and months of recovery. I was hesitant at first to hire someone to walk our boy as he can be difficult and picky, but my Riley took a liking to Rania right away and she has been key every since. She is super responsible and always communicates in a timely fashion if she is running late. I highly recommend Rania if you are in need for a caring, responsible walker.”

“Rich was incredible. Definitely helped me in a pinch with my dog Goomba! He was very responsive and loved all the pictures of my pup with him on their walk. Would certainly use him again in the future and highly recommend. For all kinds of dogs, sometimes can be tough finding your pet as much as you do but Rich certainly has a big affinity for dogs which makes you rest easy while he’s with your pup.”

About: I’ve never lived without a dog and have taken care of family and friends’ pets of all shapes and sizes. As the former guardian of a wonderful dog with stranger danger and issues with other dogs, I am fully capable of learning and respecting your pups boundaries. It would be my pleasure to care for them and meet them where they’re at. Right now I work with rescue dogs weekly and love them all. I work from home and am happy to come during any part of the day depending on my schedule. I’m flexible and willing to meet your needs. I love to walk pups, provide enrichment, supervise yard time or whatever else they need to get the exercise and care that your pup requires.

I prioritize offering flexible care, especially on weekends and holidays when many other sitters are unavailable. I understand that pets need attention and consistency, even during off hours. By providing services during these times, I ensure your pet receives reliable care when you need it most. Whether it’s a holiday getaway or a weekend trip, you can trust that your pet will be in safe, loving hands without interruption. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with a fenced yard where pets can run, play, and explore freely. Your pet will enjoy plenty of exercise, fun, and one on one attention in a secure setting. Whether it's playtime outdoors or cozy relaxation indoors, I ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.

I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I also offer pet portraits! When we do a meet and greet, I can show you some physical samples of my work. You can also check out my photo gallery for some photos of the pet portraits! I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.

About: As a lifetime owner and 30-plus year sitter of dogs and cats, there is no pet situation that I haven't experienced. I understand that your pet is a member of your family and that their safety and happiness while you're unable to care for them are paramount. In addition to just genuinely loving animals, my career as a healthcare provider uniquely prepares me to make sure your pet is healthy, secure, and engaged at all times. My own two senior dogs are everything to me, so I'm extremely mindful of any anxiety you or your pet may have when entering into a relationship with a sitter. Should it be necessary, I am proficient at all forms of medication administration. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend! (Please note that I am unable to accept bookings from clients with incomplete profiles.) Let me know your scheduling needs and I will make every effort to accommodate them. I am extremely flexible and can always work with my clients to provide consistent and reliable care for their pets. In your home, my goal is to respect your space while still providing loving care to your pet(s). Every client is different, and as such, be assured that whatever instructions you provide will be followed to the letter.

“What a wonderful experience. I booked a 30 minute walk for my parents puppies because my older mom just needed a minute to herself. She recently got Pebbles (Aug 21) and she’s working through the motions of getting acclimated. Nicole was so quick to accommodate the request and was very flexible about the process. My mom enjoyed their interaction and really felt safe sending the dogs with her. 10/10 recommend. Fantastic experience.”

“Bittersweet - Emma was super sweet and we wish her the best building her business. It wasn't a good fit for our family - she minimized feedback offered about dog care-related decision making (based in valid and evidence based concerns about safety). Immediately after the first walk and subsequent discussion, she declined to work with us further. We are bummed, because our pup connected with her quickly.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.

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: Hello! I’m originally from Upstate New York and currently share my home with a cat and a small dog. Animals have always been a huge part of my life—dogs and cats alike seem to gravitate toward me! I’ve cared for my own dogs from puppyhood through adulthood, and I also have experience training Newfoundland show dogs. At the same time, I adore cats and understand their unique personalities, from playful kittens to independent seniors. Whether your pet is tiny or giant, young or old, canine or feline, I love them all and know how to meet their needs. I offer flexible availability on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to take dogs on walks or runs, provide playtime, cuddle sessions, or quiet companionship for cats. I always ask about your pet’s favorite activities, routines, and any dislikes so I can tailor my care to keep them as happy as possible. Your pet’s comfort and joy are my top priority—I’d love to meet your furry family member! Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life. I already care for my own cat and small dog, so feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles are part of my everyday routine. Because I have flexible availability during both weekdays and weekends, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit the needs of pets I’m looking after. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening play sessions, I make sure each pet gets the attention and activity they need. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with secure spaces, fresh water, and plenty of enrichment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their instructions closely. I maintain the pet’s normal routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel safe and cared for even while their family is away. I always ask about any special needs, favorite activities, or things the pet dislikes, so I can avoid stress and provide the best possible care.

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: Hello all! My name is Kayla and I’ve been pet walking and sitting for over 15 years. Dog walking, dog sitting and cat sitting. I have always loved helping out neighbors and family and friends with their animals. I also have animals of my own! 2 dogs and 4 cats! During my time with all of the animals I look after, I would feed them, take them for walks, potty trips and even go to the park. All my life I always knew I wanted to care for animals in any way I can. Teaching them from a young age and caring for them brings so much joy to me and helping other families with their animals is a big win for me! I’m a mom of 2 and I am also a nanny. My schedule is pretty easy to make time to help others with their pets and that gives me time during the day to walk and take care of your animals! I am available Monday-Sunday, 7 days a week. Monday-Sunday I can dog walk and do drop in visits. Friday-Sunday I am available to stay over nights. I am available 8am-12pm and 6:30pm-10pm during the week. If I am watching your pets at your home, I always make sure that I can see your pets if they are in the backyard or inside. Putting on leash/harness first before going outside, and always making sure they are comfortable and having fun! At my home, I have a fenced backyard for your dog to run around and a bowl of water incase they get thirsty! I also love to play fetch!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cranston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Cranston is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 2,857 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cranston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Cranston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Cranston after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

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

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
