“Karen was absolutely wonderful taking care of my two Siameses, Jade and Amethyst. She provided daily reports and pictures of my little ones. She provided top notch care and great communication. I highly recommend Karen and definitely will request Karen again!”
“Diana did a great job with my puppy! I’m so thankful to have found her when I did to care for my puppy while I was on a work trip. Highly recommend booking if you’re looking for a sitter that’s responsive and communicative!”
“Carse was amazing and we will absolutely be using her again. She was communicative, prompt, followed up with us daily and kept us up to speed on everything that was happening while we were away. Our cat Doug can be a little spicy with new people and Carse was so good he looked more relaxed hanging with her than he does with us half the time. 5/5”
“Absolutely amazing. This was our first time having Jessica watch our two cats and she was beyond fabulous!: punctual, followed our feeding/playing/cleaning directions and she promptly contacted us with questions. She went above and beyond, and we also eceived pics and an update every day. She completely put my mind at ease while I was traveling so far away I highly recommend Jessica for any pet-sitting services you’re looking 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.”
“I can tell Maryann went above and beyond for my two cats to earn their trust and provide them comfort. Very grateful, and planning future bookings, with assurance I will feel secure that they're well cared for when I'm away. Thank you, Maryann!”
“Joel was able to help us out on pretty short notice and even squeezed in a meet & greet before coming by later that night. He was great with our pup and sent lots of pictures while we were away. We appreciated Joel’s flexibility, communication, and care and would happily book again in the future. (:”
About: I am a retired restaurant owner. I love animals and taking long walks, so I thought I would try a dog walking service. I had a dog for most of my life and now I have two cats. I also have four grandchildren and two grand-dogs with whom I love spending time. I am currently retired, so dog walking is my primary hobby right now! I'm flexible and willing to help on short notice, too. I would prefer a recurring schedule, but am flexible. I do not care for pets in my home because I have two cats. I am willing to pet sit in your home as necessary. Dogs will get lots of walks and play time with me because I love to stay active.
“Genesis was amazing with my furry baby. She was kind and patient with my little fur baby. He took some warming up and Genesis was able to meet him where he was and provide excellent care. Genesis will be my first choice when needing care for my pup. Thanks again.”
“Neriah is amazing with our puppy Ricky! She is communicative, friendly, and reliable! She provides us with pictures and updates for each drop in which is appreciated. She clearly really knows our pup and loves what she does!”
About: I have been taking care of my dog since he came into the family at just 8 months old and I loved caring for him so much I decided to get my own cat a few years ago. This is my part time job as I am currently a student! I try my best to keep my schedule flexible enough to care for my own pets at home along with my personal time. I’m mostly available during mornings and afternoons during the week. On Monday, Wednesday and Fridays I am available after 3:30 P.M. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available all day! No pet is too big or too small for me, I have experience with pets all sizes. I have been taking care of my family dog since he was just a puppy and he is now 11 years old! I have had plenty of years of experience with pets as I have also taken care of dogs and cats for family and friends. You can count on me to safely take care of your pet.
About: Hi there! I’m Alana – a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for four-legged friends. I’ve never lived in a home without a dog. My very first pup joined our family when I was just five years old, and since then, I’ve had the joy of raising and loving many wonderful pets. My fur baby, Luna, has been by my side for 16 years since she was just six weeks old – she’s my heart and soul! She recently passed away and it’s left my home feeling very empty which is why pet sitting will bring me joy. I also foster dogs from time to time that need a loving home until they find their forever family. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, caring for dogs (and other pets!) while their humans are away. It comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love it. As a stay-at-home mom, I have the time, flexibility, and energy to give your dog the attention, companionship, and TLC they deserve throughout the day. What sets me apart? Years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities A calm, pet-loving home environment with plenty of affection Daily availability and flexible scheduling A genuine passion for treating your pet like family Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, or just needs some company while you’re gone, I’m here to help them feel safe, happy, and loved. Let’s chat — I’d love to meet your fur baby! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day to give your pet plenty of love, care, and attention. your pet will always have a calm, watchful presence nearby. We also have a gentle four-year-old daughter who adores animals and is used to being around dogs, especially our own sweet senior pup. Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and attentive home environment where they’ll never feel lonely. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. I create a calm, loving environment where your pup can feel relaxed, safe, and completely at home. Dogs are absolutely allowed on the furniture — snuggles on the couch are encouraged here! I have a fully fenced-in yard that’s perfect for running, playing, and enjoying fresh air in a secure space. I also live just a short walk from a quiet park, ideal for safe and enjoyable walks tailored to your dog’s energy level. Your pup will never be alone — I’m home during the day, and my husband works from home too. That means there’s always someone around to provide attention, belly rubs, potty breaks, and playtime. I’m attentive to your dog’s needs, routines, and personality — whether they’re active and playful or a laid-back lounger. I’m happy to follow any special instructions, feeding routines, medication schedules, or preferences to make their stay as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Your dog will be loved, watched over, and cared for like one of our own — because that’s exactly how I treat them.
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life and have loved taking care of the pets of family friends and neighbors. I have experience with a variety of ages and I have helped train multiple family dogs. I love taking my dogs on runs or just lounging around the house giving belly rubs or cuddles... and the occasional treat. I am a recent graduate of Physician Assistant school starting work in the winter. My schedule is very open as a result, and I am happy to accommodate your needs. I live in a pet friendly home with easy access to multiple parks and walking paths. I am happy to commute to your home as well if this would make things easier or your pet feel more comfortable.
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.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs, from growing up with them as a child to raising them as an adult. I currently own a puppy and love being hands-on with daily walks, training, and playtime. With years of experience providing consistent care, attention, and affection, I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life! I’m home daily, so your pet will have plenty of companionship, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and lots of love rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. I truly enjoy having animals around and love making them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while their families are away. I’m happy to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible and give them the individual attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I’m lucky to have a fenced-in dog park right in my neighborhood, which gives pups a safe space to play, exercise, and socialize. You can trust that your dog will always be cared for in a secure and loving environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cranston
Brianna was fantastic! She is super sweet and very attentive. We love getting updates of our little guy and she always gave us super detailed reports with tons of pictures which we really appreciated. She was prompt with her visits and went above and beyond what we had requested. You can tell she really cares deeply about animals and will give your pets the love and care they need while you’re away. 10/10 I would definitely book her again.
Jessica was awesome! Super speedy response time and she has a very kind, warm energy that put our dog at ease from the start. You can tell her love for animals is genuine and she was very professional and accommodating making the process run smoothly. 100% recommend! Our dog Watley definitely wants to hangout with her in the future. :)
Rebecca was AMAZING with Lemon and Lou. Not once did I worry about their wellbeing while we were away. Rebecca took her time to make sure the were well taken care and even made sure to get some playtime in for them too. Communication was a beeeze and she sent a ton of pics! I will definitely be using Rebecca again. 10/10 😊
Like always, Kathy went above and beyond to take care of our animals and our home! When the smoke alarm decided to start chirping, she found a step ladder, got the thing down, and used her own batteries to make sure it was safe (and that the chirping wouldn’t drive our kitty crazy!). She is the only one our cat will seek out brushes from, which is saying something. 🐈⬛ Always provides the best, most detailed cards that make me giggle. Thank you Kathy!
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.
This was our second time booking with Jasmine to watch our cat while we were away. Once again, Jasmine impressed with her care of and attention to our cat. She went above and beyond, even taking out the litter trash and offering to help with a few household tasks. We'll book with Jasmine again the next time we're headed out of town.
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!
As always, Christa was fabulous with our cats! We contacted her with short notice and luckily for us-she had space in her schedule. Christa always sends pictures that include all of the cats. They had plenty of fresh water and food while we were away And all their litter boxes were in great shape!! She is the best!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cranston is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 October 2026, there are 2,972 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cranston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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

- 95% can help with daily exercise

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
