“Anely babysat our doggie, Dennis, while we were in town visiting my mom for Mother’s Day and couldn’t take him to brunch with us . 🤣 She was very accommodating and took great care of my nervous Mama’s boy—even sent me a picture to show that he was doing well. Highly recommend!”

“I’m very grateful to Hanna & Roy.✨ Besides being such lovely people, I truly appreciate them for taking care of my puppy🐶 From the very first moment, they showed so much love and dedication. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Haru’s well-being: they gave him affection, were attentive to him at all times, and played with him a lot. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good.”
“Jessica is a GEM!!!! I was nervous about finding someone to take care of my pup who can be nervous in new situations/people and had some health stuff going on, but Jessica did everything to make her feel comfortable and cared for, and now my girl LOVES hanging out with Jessica and Abu!! Jessica also did everything to make ME, nervous dog mom, comfortable by sending lots of sweet videos and pictures of my pup having a grand ol' time. Jessica is the best!”
“Raquel is one of the best dog sitters I have ever used on this app! She was very accommodating when it came to my dog. She even gave me updates throughout the day so I could see how my dog was doing.”
About: I LOVE animals! I recently lost my 13 year old soul dog who I’ve had since she was 8 weeks old. I have experience with senior and hospice dogs. I know how hard it is to leave your “kids” with someone new, but I promise to keep them safe, happy and loved. I currently do work but have flexible hours and am able to work from home if needed. I am available weekdays/nights and weekends to watch your “kids” I have a single family home where dogs are allowed on the furniture. I also have a fully fenced in back yard for your pups to play in.
“As always Leanne and Michael do an amazing job with Teddy. We have nothing to worry about when we leave him with them. She takes care of him like she does her own Bailey!”
About: As a lifelong dog owner and experienced pet sitter, I have cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds like my own 2-year-old Norfolk Terrier to larger breeds requiring strength and structure. Throughout my adult life, I have raised and cared for four dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me deep experience in training, health management, and end-of-life care. My background as a project manager makes me highly organized, reliable, and detail-oriented—qualities that directly translate into responsible and attentive pet care. I understand the importance of structure, routine, and positive reinforcement, ensuring that every dog feels comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I am now expanding my pet care services to provide high-quality, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I offer a safe, structured, and loving environment for your furry family members. I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention to your pets throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, making it easy to accommodate feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, and walks. Since I live on a quiet dead-end street with minimal traffic, I can take dogs on safe, peaceful walks. Whether your pup needs a midday check-in, a full-day stay, or overnight boarding, I’m here to provide loving and structured care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I own a single-family home with a large fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to play and explore in a secure environment. My quiet, low-traffic neighborhood is perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. Whether in my home or yours, I follow each pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed and always supervise playtime to maintain a happy, stress-free environment.
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
“Debby was AWESOME! My puppy was in such good hands. She’s very loving, attentive, responsive, friendly, had a lot of experience with dogs, keeps you updated with pictures, and overall genuine. My puppy had such a fun time at her place! Will definitely be booking again :)”
“Isabel took wonderful care of Dexter this week! We so enjoyed her thoughtful and informative daily updates. She made sure he was comfortable, following his usual daily schedule and fostering positive and playful interactions with her dog Griggs. We are grateful for her proactive and in-depth communication and her timely pickups and dropoffs. She is a dog sitting gem!”
“Thank you for the TLC Michelle! We will see you again in the next couple of weeks. I’m confident that my fur babies will receive nothing but the best .”
About: Please be advised I am no longer accepting Pet Drop In or Walking visits M-F. But please message me anyway. About me: I no longer have pets of my own. My children are grown ups and out of the house on their own. My home is empty with just me and my elderly mother. I still love to have my freedom but would love to take on sitting your pet in my home or your home. I also work from home M-F, so your pet will have me with them for a majority of the time I’m caring for them. I work from home Monday-Fri and have lots of free time to take care of your pet in my home or in your home. Give me a shot please! My yard is not fenced in, however I am fully able to take your pet outside on a leash and for a walk to potty.
“Ashley did a fantastic job of entertaining my pup for the day while we couldn’t! She made sure he got fed properly, had plenty of time to play outside/walk with her dogs, and gave all the affection he needed. She even taught him how to do paw! We will definitely be reaching out again if we need help. Highly recommend!”

Without a doubt 5 stars! ✨ We were in the area for the weekend and one of the days we had an activity that our dog was not able to come with. Our dog can be strong willed and will take advantage of his size if he thinks he can get away with it. I initially chose Rich/aka Kemba on Rover because his profile pic was with an Akita! Regardless of that, Kemba was the perfect match for Rocky! He sent us some photos of their adventures out and about, and a sweet video walking (with a loose leash, no one was being pulled like a kite!) with a friend's dog. Our drop off and pickup was super smooth. Kemba made a suggestion for our meeting location that made it easy and he delivered Rocky to us at our Airbnb at the end of the afternoon. I felt complete confidence in Kemba's judgement and care with our boy.

Connie took really good care of my dog for the day. He wasn’t acting right (barking and whining constantly), so Connie took him on long walks and communicated VERY well. She tried my suggestions but they didn’t help. This was the first time he has been like this and I couldn’t have asked for a sitter to handle this any better than Connie did. I recommend her to others whole heartedly. Thanks Connie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cranston on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Cranston commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 739 sitters in Cranston, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
