About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup who loves long walks and playtime, giving extra patience and gentle care to senior pets, or making sure independent cats feel comfortable and cared for, I tailor my approach to each pet’s unique needs. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience so your pets feel happy and at home while you’re away. My schedule is pretty flexible. I mostly work in the afternoon and evenings so my mornings are mostly free. I am happy to pop by after work to check in and take care of your animals I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I do my best to provide consistent, personalized care. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and bedtime while making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they receive lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I always make sure pets have fresh water, regular potty breaks, enrichment through play and mental stimulation, and a cozy place to relax. My priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and treated like part of the family.
“Annemarie did such an amazing job taking care of our cats! She was extremely communicative, always sent a very detailed update, and went out of her way to make sure that our cats were comfortable and cared for. I could not recommend her enough if you are looking for a sitter to put your mind at ease!”
“Our doggie looked sooo happy and rested when I got back & I know that’s b/c of J’s care. We have an older elderly dog with unique medical needs. This is the sitter you want their patience and care was excellent. Looking forward to rebooking them soon very soon indeed.”
About: With over 3 years of full time overnight and long-term petsitting experience, I bring real expertise and a whole lot of love to caring for your pets. I grew up on a cattle ranch in Oregon, and animals have been part of my life ever since. I've gone on to care for pets all over the world through various sitting opportunities. I'm comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes and energy levels, and I enjoy getting to know each cat's particular quirks. I'm also experienced with senior pets, including administering medications, managing mobility issues, and keeping a close eye on any special needs they have. Over the years I've cared for horses, dogs, cats, and even shrimp, so whatever your pet's personality, your furry (or fin-y) family member will be in experienced, loving hands. I currently work from home full time Monday to Friday. I have a flexible work schedule and can organize my time around walks and overnight sits. I’m available for overnight sits or to drop by and walk and feed pets or check on them while you’re away. The comfort of pets and their owners is my top priority. I’m discreet, punctual and communicative.
“It is so, so great to have a sitter that is not afraid of my zoo! As the owner of two cats, ten geckos, and ten snakes, all with different personalities ranging from shy to outright grumpy, I am very comforted by Rich's confidence in caring for them. I am a total momma bear when it comes to ALL of my critters (even the bitey ones), and I don't even worry while I'm away on vacation.”
“She was awesome! The cats loved her. She went above and beyond and made it so much better for me to enjoy my vacation, especially since I’ve never used Rover before. I will definitely be using her again, for sure. Five stars on every level”
“I don’t want to leave a great review because we want to keep Carolyn all to ourselves, but we have too! Words can’t not describe how grateful and thankful we are that we had Carolyn watch our dogs. We had an emergency situation with one of our pups and she went above and beyond to give the best care and love to our dogs. Carolyn brought our dog to the emergency vet, waited til she was out of surgery and brought her home. Administered medication and communicated with us every step of the way. She offered great advice while never making us feel bad or guilty for being on vacation. 10 out of 10 and will definitely be using her again!”
“Liana was amazing! She sent really awesome pictures of my cat every day and I really feel like she spent time with him and played with him, which is so important especially with how much energy he has! I'm so grateful to her and will absolutely look for her for any and all pet sitting needs in the future!!”
About: I am a dog lover who has been around dogs my whole life. Over the years, my family's dogs have been german shepherds, pugs, poodles, and hounds/mutts. I am now a dog parent to a pug / affenpinscher mutt mix, and he is my best friend! I also spent a summer taking care of 175 sled dogs in Alaska for 4 months. So I have a wide variety of experience with a lot of various breeds and personalities of dogs! As of right now, I am a stay at home dog mom, so I have a very flexible and available schedule! I am able to house sit most weekdays and/or weeknights. I am also available for morning, afternoon, and/or nightly walks any day of the week. I would love to help you out, so please reach out if you have particular dates or times in mind. Your pup(s)'s safety and comfortability is my main focus! So whether they'd like to go on a walk, play outside, spend some time sleeping on the couch, or need a break in their crate, I've got them covered!
“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.”
“Would not hesitate to have Jules sit for our three cats again! She did a fantastic job and even picked up an extra day for us during the end of our trip! Great communication with photos and updates. Great service and attention to all the cats needs! Thank you! Pamela”
“Molly is fantastic! My husband and I booked her for a week of drop in visits while we were traveling and I have never felt more comfortable leaving my animals in anyone else's care! She is responsive, pays attention to details, and gave our pups the individual attention they craved and needed while we were gone. She sends great pictures and videos and I could tell from those pictures that my animals all loved her, including my cats! She gave us textual updates on how the animals were doing and knew when to spend more time with one dog vs the other if they seemed to be getting a little stressed with us being gone. We have one senior Pomeranian who is diabetic, and then an almost 3 year old high energy border collie and we felt 100% comfortable leaving them in her care. We already booked our next set of drop in dates with Molly and look forward to booking with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for others (humans and other animals alike)! My wife and I have a fun, loving doggy named Kaju who is almost 2 years old. She loves to play, catch and find treats, and go on walks. We have had her since she was a young puppy and have crate/house trained her. She loves other people and dogs! I currently work from home full time as a school psychologist so I will have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your pup! Our townhouse has an unfenced front and back yard with easy access to many neighborhoods for walks. We have plenty of long lines for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. We also have pens and crates if needed.
About: Hi! I'm Kayla I'm a 28 year old part time college student and also work part time! I've always loved animals as I have grown up with animals since I was 4. I've always loved animals and took care of my own dogs Bella and Bailey. I love them with all my heart. Ive recently moved to Rhode Island and left our family dogs behind with my father and sisters. I would love to help you out with walking and caring for your dogs while you are busy or away. I will make sure they are loved,cuddled and pampered, kind of like a home away from home . I hope my services interest you and I get to meet and care for your dogs! Look forward to meet you and your pups and cats! Currently working part time so I have tons of time. Also always available Friday- sunday to be able to bring your dog outside or whatever needs are needed. I care for pets by bringing them for multiple walks a day. Making sure they are having fun. I always respect what my client wants and needs are for their dog or cat.
About: Growing up, I’ve always had a ton of animals in the house. Since I was a teenager, I have house-sat/animal-sat for family members and family friends. If I take care of your pet, they have my attention and of course love <3 I work fully remote, so I have tons of flexibility in my schedule, including availability during the weekday, evenings, and on weekends! Happy to hang out all day with your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my priority. As someone with pets myself, I understand the stress that occurs when you need someone else to take care of them for a time. That’s why I do everything in my power to reassure owners that their pet is in great hands and that we’ll have fun together! For example, if I’m taking your dog for a walk I will be incredibly mindful of my surroundings, including traffic and other people, so that your dog remains safe. If I’m staying overnight to watch your pet, I will be considerate of belongings in the property and happily play with the pet(s) in the home :)

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Johnston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Johnston 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 Johnston 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.
