“Stephanie did a fabulous job entertaining my cat over the holidays! Communication was great, and Stephanie patiently explained to this first-time Rover user how the app works. I could see in the many pictures how much my little girl enjoyed Stephanie's visits. Will definitely hire again!”
About: I've always enjoyed being around animals. Our pets make up a large part of our lives, and I'm happy to care for your loved ones while you are unable to. I have a flexible schedule and I’m able to support with last-minute requests at all hours of the day. With my flexibility, I can ensure that your pet receives the best care. I keep several things in mind including the owner’s requests/preferences, the temperament of the dog, as well as ensuring that the dog remains comfortable at all times.
“Another fantastic visit with Bri! It was such a relief knowing Max was in good hands while we were away. She was friendly, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was happy and comfortable. We came home to a content, well-cared-for cat and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will absolutely book with Bri again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Michelle was awesome. She sent great photos and videos, which is always nice when you’re away wondering how your cats are doing. She even let me know how they were acting and behaving when she was there. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Nicole is very professional and trustworthy and did an amazing job with both of my dogs. I love the pictures that she had sent as well and the follow ups every time she came to visit. Both Dogs and I will look forward to using Nicole again- they were very happy when we returned!”
“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. (:”
“Maryann took such amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town for our wedding. Because this was our first time away from our dogs in over a year, Maryann was able to keep in touch with us on their status and send daily pictures of the dogs. Maryann is trustworthy and we were very comfortable having her in our home. Maryann is detailed, honest, and offers affordable pet sitting services. She even tossed a load of blankets in the wash when one of the dogs got sick on them. Our girls loved her and so did we! Definitely a five-star service!”
“This was Heather's first visit with my dog. She was communicative and understanding of his needs. Sometimes it takes him a little bit to warm up, and by the end of the visit, he was rolling over for belly rubs. I look forward to her staying with him in the coming weeks while I'm away!”
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.
“My cats love Erin. The photos and videos she send clearly show she is caring and understanding of how my cats miss me when I am away. I know my fur children are in good hands with Erin. It makes traveling much easier.”
About: I've lived with dogs my entire life / taken care of them when I lived at my family's home. I have looked after golden retriever/German shepherd/great pyrenees mixed with lab, Spanish greyhounds, dachshund beagle mixes. I am comfortable with dogs of any size. I've found myself able to be in tune with a dog's feelings & they are often drawn to me because of my calm nature. I find it easy to bond with dogs and feel very comfortable just hanging out with them or taking care of them. I also love spending time with dogs including playing, walking, cuddling, or just hanging out and watching tv. I have special experience with reactive dogs where I needed to alter my walking routes in order to avoid other dogs (the dog my family had had been previously abused) as well as giving dogs oral medications. My top priority is your dog's safety/happiness. When it comes to giving care I'm very good at following instructions and know how difficult it can be to finding the right fit for someone to take care of their beloved dogs. I have a strong attention to detail and would love to provide the best possible care. I work from home and have lunch breaks that can be taken anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour but am flexible. I am able to step out if need be during the day for a quick check-in on pets/am willing to do so. I start work at 8 am and finish at 4:30 pm and often go to the gym afterwards but have about 30 minutes-2 hours free that I could use to check on pets. Overall, I'm flexible with working from home! If needed I am available to stay in your home to provide 24/7 care to your pets/work from your home. I care for my pets by feeding them, walking them, playing in the backyard, and just by hanging out with them when they're tired out from the day. My full time job requires me to have a strong attention to detail/high level of accuracy so I'm very dedicated to making sure I follow instructions. The safety of dogs is my top priority. My younger sister had a service dog and when he would go out in public we would sometimes have people ask if they could pet him. We had to politely tell them that he was working/a service dog. I mention this because I have no problem making sure dogs are safe and telling others when it's not ok to interact with them if they're working/anxious dogs/they don't do well with others.
“Tatiana was great with our German shepherd and my family’s border collie. She sent pictures every day during our 9 day vacation. Not only that, but she took our dogs last minute when another sitter fell through. She arrived in less than 12 hours for a meet & greet. She also stayed an extra few hours when our flight got delayed the last day. Thanks again! We will be recommending her to everyone!”
“Meira was a wonderful sitter! She sent tons of videos and photos during each visit and was very attentive to my cat’s needs. My cat is usually slow to warm up, but Meira was able to pet her and play with her every time. She’s very professional. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I live in East Providence with my husband, dog-savvy 10 year-old son, and our beloved pets. I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a kid and am currently obsessed with my dog-children, Griggs and Stevie. I know that just like humans, dogs have their own personalities and quirks, so I want to get to know your pet and provide them with the special care and attention that they deserve! I live in a quiet home, I enjoy long walks and am travel ready so I can come to them if need be. I can’t wait to make new dog friends! I want to make your life a little less stressful, your dog’s life a little more fun and mine a lot more fulfilling. I’m currently working part-time and I go for long walks daily, so I have plenty of time to provide care for your beloved animal friends! I believe pets are family members; anytime I visit a home, I’m a guest of the pet as well! While you’re away (out of town or at work) I’ll make sure that your pet is comfortable at home!
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: Detail-oriented, compassionate, and fun, I have cared for pets for over 12 years! From puppy-hood to senior years, I have cared for dogs throughout their lifespan using positive reinforcement training methods learned from working alongside talented trainers and fostering dogs through local rescues. I value each animal as an individual with their own thoughts, feelings, and preferences. I am a full-time pet sitter and dog walker and part-time student, so I am available for all of your pet's needs! From potty training your new pup, to a family vacation- I've got you covered. Each pet is treated with respect, compassion, and positive reinforcement only. Walks: Need to get some extra steps in? I encourage dogs to make safe choices on walks like choosing our direction or sniffing interesting spots to fulfill their instinctual needs. Dogs must be on harnesses for their safety and mine. I do not allow on-leash greetings. Drop-ins: Potty training or need to give your buddy their meds mid-day? I provide a potty break, play time, or any other enrichment your dog needs to keep their day as fun as when you're home. Housesitting: Going on vacation? I follow your schedule to keep your dog's day as stress-free as possible! Most visits include drop-ins and walks in addition to lots of nightly snuggles. Will adhere to structured crate time if requested. My own dogs, May and Fig, receive daily walks, off-leash time, and enrichment, in addition to frequent camping and overnight adventures. I have successfully crate-trained my dogs and the dogs that I have fostered through positive reinforcement.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in East Providence is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Providence
Shawn was great, making drop in visits for our two cats over several days. We came home to everything spotlessly clean, feeding dishes washed and litter boxes scooped. She communicated well and asked lots of questions in our meet and greet. I highly recommend Shawn!
Our dogs really enjoyed their time with Grace. Grace had an ease around them, quickly developed rapport and was attuned to their different personalities and needs. Communication was clear and if any issues emerged Grace was pro-active in reaching out. We would definitely use Grace again and would recommend her services to friends. A good solid, reliable and caring individual.
Erin was great with my babies. She sent me some wonderful pictures of them and I can tell that they had warmed up to her. She did drop ins for my cats sat- tues morning and came twice a day. She even checked in in my turtle for me! It was a seamless experience and I was relieved to jot have to hurry back.
Isabelle was incredibly trustworthy. Did everything I requested and more. Lots of cute pictures of my cat showing how comfortable and content she made my senior lady feel. Communication was great, came on time. Isabelle is my go to cat sitter from now on. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you!
Micheal took wonderful care of Bailer and provided me with constant updates during his visit. He was super easy to communicate with and was very timely. My cat warmed up to him immediately and definitely made a new friend. I will definitely book with him again!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
