“Anne was amazing! So attentive and took in mind my dogs usual routine- and took extra great care of her! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely recommend her.”
“Lisa and her family were absolutely fantastic! They pampered my dog Sheila throughout her stay with them. Lisa sent lots of pictures and was very responsive to my texts. I will definitely use her again.”
“Karen is a very professional pet sitter! She was understanding and kind and kept me updated with my pup during the entire stay. I will book with her every time! Thank you”
“We had a wonderful stay with Keasha and her son, she kept us updated on how our pup was getting on and he seemed to settle in with them with ease. Would highly recommend!”
“Thank you, Karen, for taking such good care of Marley! You are so easy to work with and flexible with scheduling. The accommodations were so “ homey” it was like she was in her own home. She enjoyed Guinness, your dog, it’s good she had another dog to play with. Thank you, again!!”
“Anely is such a great dogsitter!! She has consistently been available to watch our dog, Ollie, for both brief overnight stays and week-long trips. She is very responsive and has always made time for us, even on short notice. She clearly loves having dogs around and takes such good care of them. Ollie is always a bit anxious when we leave him, but with Anely, he immediately calms down and knows he is safe. He always has a great time staying with her, and it is so reassuring to know your pet is comfortable when you're away! Anely sends photos and updates every day, and is just generally so easy and awesome to work with. We appreciate her very much!”
“Jessica and family were simply the BEST! Louie did not want to leave her house when we first went to visit! Jess sent photos and comments daily, in addition to responding right away to text message when I had a question during Louie's stay with her. I definitely will recommend her, and wish that I could give her 10 stars as well! It was hard for me to leave my 13 year old boy who has limited hearing and vision. She was really caring and terrific! I am so glad to have found her!”
“My dog Mya had a wonderful weekend at Matthew’s! He was so accommodating and understanding of her anxieties, which is very appreciated! Communication was great, I loved getting pictures and updates of her all weekend! Would definitely recommend, and would book again!”
“Isabel and her husband were the best hosts I could have asked for for my puppy! This was my first time leaving my dog, Wren, overnight anywhere for longer than 1 night and they were phenomenal with her. Isabel was constantly sending me updates and the most adorable photos which provided me with so much comfort knowing that Wren was taken care of. Her dogs and mine got along great so knowing that she had some friends with her the whole 8 days was a HUGE bonus. It's so nice knowing that when I travel again in the future, I have someone safe to leave my dog with. Thank you Isabel!”
“Cierra and her family did a great job boarding my dog for a long weekend. Communication was fantastic and my dog was thrilled to have lots of love and attention. I had no doubt he was in good hands.”
“What a fantastic pet sitter! She sent updates and pics during our time away assuring us that Yoshi was doing great. She even gave us a goody bag when we picked Yoshi up. We will definitely be using Alyssa again!”
“I love love love my new family!!!!!!! I think next time I leave Frank I will stay for the night too! It was so hard to say good bye to them because I loved them so much! I will be booking them forever!!!!!”
About: I have years of experience caring for my own dogs daily, so I’m used to feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping things clean and safe. I pay attention to each pet’s routine and make sure they stay comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I have open availability because I work from home during the week. My partner is also home, so your pet won’t be left alone and will always have attention and care. I have a fenced-in backyard with lots of space for them to run and play. I also have two friendly dogs who love to play, so your pet will have company and a safe, comfortable space while they’re here.
About: Se habla español! Hello there! My name is Devorat, but you can call me Debby. I’ve always loved animals and have spent most of my life caring for pets. I consider pets part of the family, and I know exactly how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I offer a highly attentive, safe, and loving environment in Cranston. My home has a fully fenced yard where your dog can run and play safely, and I am home to provide potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours. My family has a friendly 6 year old Goldendoodle named Toby, but he lives downstairs in a separate apartment. Because of this, my main living space is completely open and dedicated to my guest dogs! It is a really spacious & flexible place where multiple guest dogs can socialize and play together comfortably. Since I attend school virtually, I am home all day and pet care is my primary focus! Your pets will have constant company and plenty of attention. I am fully available for overnight boarding, fun doggy day care, and active neighborhood dog walking on both weekdays and weekends. I am happy to help with your pet's feeding, playtime, and exercise routines throughout the day! Safety is my top priority. I am here to supervise play and potty breaks in my fully fenced yard. I closely follow your specific care instructions, including feeding schedules and crate routines. I’m home most of the day, but I do sometimes pop out for quick errands. Before leaving, I always make sure the dogs are safely tucked into their crates or separated so they stay safe and happy while I’m gone. You'll get plenty of regular photo updates so you can see your pet is safe and having fun!
“We are a repeat customer with Robert. Daily updates with pics and videos. Great communication and very flexable with pic ups and drop offs. He socialized our pet in walks and visits, which we love.”
“Carolina was great with Kobe. This was our second time using Carolina. She communicated with me throughout the stay and sends pictures that ensures me that Kobe was in good hands. I look forward to booking Carolina for future stays.”
“Ty housed my cat for 3 weeks and she was fantastic. She sent daily updates/photos on his behavior, eating, etc. I was able to enjoy my vacation stress free knowing my cat was in good hands. I will definitely be requesting her for the future.”
“Jay and Faith made Sweet Pea’s first hang out so smooth! I’m an anxious human but they made me feel at ease, and I can tell Pea felt very comfortable as well as she spent her time lounging around and relaxing. Definitely a trusted pair dogs, including the special ones that require a little more structure. A++”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johnston
Gary was awesome and took care of my Stoni through the 4th of July weekend. He kept me informed and the communication was excellent. I received photos of Stoni throughout her stay which made me feel comfortable and relaxed knowing she was well taken care of. I will likely rebook in the future with Gary. I couldn’t have asked for anything more!
I truly cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she started caring for my puppy, Sancocho, I knew he was in the best hands. Not only did she go above and beyond in meeting his needs, but she treated him with so much love, patience, and attention as if he were her own. What meant the most to me was the constant communication. She sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos that reassured me he was happy, safe, and well cared for. As a puppy parent, that level of thoughtfulness and transparency made all the difference. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. She exceeded every expectation, and I came home to a well cared for, happy pup. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate, she is the one. I would trust her with Sancocho again in a heartbeat!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Johnston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Johnston on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,161 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Johnston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
88% of Johnston sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Johnston landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Johnston home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Johnston.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Johnston sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
