About: My 15 year old golden retriever passed away this past summer, and I am just looking for a way to fill the doggy shaped hole he left in my heart! I love dogs, and staying active so what better way to do both than dog walking/ sitting! I work full time in Providence commuting from Newport, so I’m available after 5pm for walks and visits. Perfect for anyone in need of evening care for their pups! I will stick closely to your pets usual routine so they feel comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise based on their needs. I keep the home clean and respect the space, and I always send regular updates with photos so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for!
About: I love dogs and cats and I have pet sit for family and neighbors for over 10 years. I live in a house in a low-traffic residential neighborhood. Your pet will have access to the first and second floor of the house and all of the furniture, unless you request otherwise. I will spend all day with your pet and establish a care plan with you, including number of / length of walks. Your pet can sleep anywhere in the house. I do not currently have any pets and only take one client at a time. I work full time, so I’m mostly available Friday evening through Sunday evening. However, this may be flexible on a case-by-case basis. I will spend all day with your pet while they are staying with me. I do not have any pets, so your pet(s) will be the only ones in my house at that time. I have a front and back yard and low-traffic neighborhood great for walking.
About: I have always lived with dogs my whole life. I have my own dog and I have helped friends and family by looking after their furry friends. I work full time but I am home in Newport everyday by 4:00pm so I would be able by 4:30 to care for your dog! I am also available most weekends at any time.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have taken care of both for other people! My experience includes drop in visits, week long overnights, and walks!

While in your home, I will maintain your pet’s typical routine while also keeping the household clean. I follow any instructions/guidelines that are provided and make sure to give extra attention to pets while their owners are away!
About: I’m an RN who loves dogs but unfortunately don’t have the schedule to own one. Therefore, I am always begging my friends to bring their dogs over and to watch them on my days off.

I work long days but I make my own schedule! My days off I am totally free and committed to any task I sign up for! I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood near narrow river! There are no off limits for dogs in my house! Also willing to drive to your location!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jamestown
Tanya was fantastic just as all her 5-star reviews describe. She was prompt and precisely on time for every single check in with my 16-year-young dachshund, exactly as promised. She sent thorough updates with pictures throughout each visit, which gave me real peace of mind. She was also very flexible when needed, accommodating my scheduling without any hassle. What really stood out was how excellent she was with my senior dog — patient and clearly experienced with older dogs’ needs. I’d recommend Tanya without hesitation in the Newport area to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, especially for senior pets. I will certainly work with Tanya again.
Phenomenal sitter for our 2 dogs! The joy in their faces from the daily picture updates did our hearts well. To know that, while we were away, they were taking such great care of, provides us confidence in knowing Tanya is the go to for drop ins!!! Her flexibility gave us ease in knowing she is willing to go the extra mile for the pets she is entrusted with!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jamestown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Jamestown 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!
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Jamestown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
