“This was our first time using Rover and Isabel was amazing. She provided updates and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was very professional and asked lots of our questions during our virtual meet and greet and took the time to learn the dogs’ routines. We can’t wait to use her again!”
“We came home to happy, healthy dogs. Michelle was flexible about difficulties we had with travel from the huge storm that blew in just before Christmas which was really helpful.”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
“Bri was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to ensure our Frenchie was well taken care of. We will definitely work with her again in the future!”
“Sarah was amazing. So intuitive with our nervous dog, who was immediately comfortable with her. Reliable, responsive, kind, caring and very clean. We feel so grateful to have found her! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“Grace was wonderful with my dog and my house while we were away for a few days. She was attentive to pet and house needs, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing! She was so detailed and thoughtful in her communication with us, and I felt so comforted knowing that she was looking after our pups. She also helped us out when we had a last minute travel delay & came to check on our dogs on short notice. Truly the best! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Tatiana came in and house sat for us on very short notice when some other plans fell through. We got constant updates while on a trip, she took care of our home, and we felt at ease the whole time she was watching the dogs. Would 100% recommend her to anyone needing house sitting/drop in services and will definitely have her watch the dogs again!”
“Heather did an excellent job house-sitting our adult dog Bo who was a traumatized rescue dog that is still leery of strangers. She was always responsible and reliable for the meet and greets leading up to the stay and did an awesome job taking care of Bo, providing updates throughout the stay and responding promptly to any questions. It gave us such peace of mind. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again. ♥️🐾”
“Thank goodness for Nicola. I'm a hard working single mom and needed the right person to take care of my three doggies. They can be a hand full at times, of course. I don't trust many people to be able to handle my pack of love bugs but Nicola did it all AND SOME. The most important feedback I can give is that she is extremely trust worthy and I would reach out any day of the week for overnight help with my doggies. Thanks you!”
“Nadia was super nice and mindful with max’s needs. She and her entire family took care of max during Christmas and made him feel welcome (he has separation anxiety). She sent me constant updates with pictures and videos and even asked for detailed instructions before dropping max. I will definitely book Nadia for max in the future. She’s the best dog sitter.”
“Without a doubt, the best pet (and house) sitting experience we have ever had. Xinwei D. (who goes by Garrett) took extra special care of our aging dog, Bernie, while also leaving our home in better condition than we left it. He followed directions to a T, kept in constant communication and sent pictures and updated every day. He will be out first choice in sitters every time. Honestly, we couldn't have taken better care of Bernie ourselves, and being gone for a week knowing someone competent and compassionate was back at home taking care of everything gave us unmatched peace of mind. If he's available, book him for your next drop-in or house sit. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Garrett!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. They aren't just pets, they're family and they deserve to be treated as so. I take time, love and pay attention to detail to making sure your family members are taken care of to your expectations. I am available throughout the day all week. I've been needing a reason to get out of the house and your doggo is the best reason to. I have two large dogs at home and they are big snuggle bears who always need attention. I have been taking care of our family dogs my whole life and love dogs more than words can describe.
“Elena was great! Easy to communicate with, detail-oriented, took photos (which I always appreciate!) came through in a pinch when my travels were unexpectedly extended. Thank you Elena!”
“Maya was so wonderful to my precious boy. She was commutative and kept me in the loop with updates and pictures while I was away. Grateful I found a forever sitter. I highly recommend booking with Maya you won’t regret it!”
About: I've been a great caregiver to many of my friends and families pets. I've grown up with my childhood dog for 14 years and have worked at an animal shelter handling and caring for cats and dogs. I currently work part-time as a research associate. I am unavailable from 2PM-7PM on weekdays, but available during times before or after those hours as well as all day weekends. Once your animal is in my hands, I will treat them as if they were my own. I'll care for them all while making sure they are comfortable in an environment they are in.
“Liana was an absolutely exceptional sitter! My cat warmed up to her immediately, and she sent lots of lovely photo updates throughout the 6 day stay. Couldn't recommend Liana highly enough!”
“Cailey was super communicative, followed instructions carefully, and asked thoughtful questions when needed. She provided great updates throughout, and my dog seemed genuinely happy in her care. Overall, she was a wonderful sitter, and I would absolutely book her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in East Providence is $65

Kaiya is amazing!!! I was so nervous to leave our pup for the first time (just a month after adopting him), but Kaiya made me feel so at ease leaving him with her. She was so patient and caring with his puppy energy and so so communicative the whole time we were away which eased my anxieties so much. Our pup loves her!!! Will always be leaving him with her in the future when possible 🥲
We used Anders for our young, energetic dog in our home for a week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. When we returned home, our dog was calm, happy, and even enjoying a new bone. Anders sent daily pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog also enjoyed trips to the park and playtime with other dogs, which helped keep them active and happy. Anders went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and putting out the trash bins. We also loved the thoughtful surprise of paw-print artwork displayed as a magnet on our refrigerator. We would absolutely book with Anders again and highly recommend their services to others!
Ella did such a wonderful job caring for our two poodles Bowie and Bandit over the long weekend. The dogs got great exercise, lots of cuddles and Ella kept the house cane dogs clean. She even washed them up before we returned. I'd definitely recommend her and use her again in the future. Five stars!
Raina was amazing taking care of my very social cat for a long weekend. She stayed at the apartment with her and made sure to give my cat the time she needed to get comfortable. By the end of the weekend, my cat was not hesitant at all to ask for cuddles and pets. Would definitely recommend Raina and will be having her back soon!
Emily did such a great job taking care of our kitties! We appreciated all the photos and updates she provided. She was very reliable and communicative which eased our minds while on vacation. Our kitties definitely loved her and will look forward to seeing her again. Thanks Emily!

Maryann was such a lifesaver for us! We had a special event to go to out of town, but by golly there are Rover sitters everywhere, including Providence, RI. Maryann hung out with our little Bonny (a 5-lb. snuggly little chihuahua) in our hotel room, and was a calm, warm presence. Very professional in wanting to know about Bonny, what she liked/didn't like, special instructions, etc. She came highly recommended and we now happily join that chorus of satisfied customers. Thank you, Maryann!
Nicole was absolutely amazing! She was so detailed and thoughtful in her communication with us, and I felt so comforted knowing that she was looking after our pups. She also helped us out when we had a last minute travel delay & came to check on our dogs on short notice. Truly the best! Will definitely be rebooking!
Ciara was amazing. Lots pf pictures. Lots of feedback about walking, eating, medication, and pooping. (I have a minidoxie with back and digestion issues.) she even let him cuddle on sofa with her, like he is used to! My house was spotless and the bed was stripped. Best was that there were no surprises following my return, which is always the true test! Ciara will be my first call next time I need a sitter!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East Providence walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Providence maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 East Providence 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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
