“Elba and her daughter are delightful! Very easy to work with, flexible, and accommodating. They took such good care of my little Finnegan, and I am beyond grateful for their service. Highly recommend!”
“Anely is an excellent sitter very warm ,affectionate and accomodating . We were traveling through Providence and had to keep our dog Cookie with her for two days consecutively and this was our first time with her. She absolutely made sure Cookie felt at home with her and also provided him with food ,walk ,toys plays etc. Cookie usually has anxiety issues at times so we were bit picky about choosing the right kind of day boarding for him. But Anely was a perfect choice.Though she was sitting few more dogs on those days but that never became an issue for our Cookie, so needless to say she is also expert at her job. It was because of Anely that we could enjoy Newport and other attractions of RI so much without having to worry about how Cookie is doing. She also sent us hourly updates with pictures over texts. I strongly recommend Anely to all other pet parents. Thank you so much.”
“Qualynda was amazing with our puppy. She watched her for us on very short notice and went above and beyond to care for her and keep us informed. Our girl is pretty timid and was scared at first but warmed up quickly and had a great time. She especially loved running around the big backyard! We will definitely use Qualynda again!”
“Gary accepted a last minute day care booking and save the day! He was very communicative, we received many photos and Mica enjoyed her time with Amigo. We would definitely book again.”
About: Hello my name is Mary-Ann, I live in a single family home with a fully fenced in yard in Cherry Hill Estates in Johnston, RI. I don't leave dogs outside unattended. I’ve been blessed to have dogs for my whole life. I would love to open our home and couch to your fur baby in need of a safe, loving and caring environment. I currently have a fur baby named Buddy who is a Senior Bichon Shih Tzu mix who absolutely loves other dogs. He is very friendly and up to date on all his shots. My husband works from home full-time and I work from home 3 days a week. So, your fur baby won’t be alone. I know Buddy doesn’t like to be alone. I live in a quiet walkable neighborhood which allows us to take leisurely walks and a big fully fenced in back yard. I also have a dog door that leads out into a fully enclosed Dog Pen to access anytime for the potty. Pets are part of our families, and I know it’s important to make them feel comfortable and keep them safe at all times which will give you peace of mind while you are away.

“Debby was AWESOME! My puppy was in such good hands. She’s very loving, attentive, responsive, friendly, had a lot of experience with dogs, keeps you updated with pictures, and overall genuine. My puppy had such a fun time at her place! Will definitely be booking again :)”
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
“Jessica was communicative and flexible and I feel so lucky we were able to book her on short notice, she really saved the day! My dog was relaxed and tired when she came home, which says a lot, she is a very anxious dog and I am so grateful when we find sitters who put her at ease. Thank you Jessica!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.
“Our sweet pup had so much fun with Marie and her husband for the days we booked. So much more joy and excitement we haven't seen in her in the mornings getting ready to go for the day to her new friend's house and more still when she was ready to come home. Will only trust this couple with our baby.”
“Sonia is fantastic! Her regular check-Ins and photo updates are so appreciated. Wonderful, big fenced in yard for pups to play! Her dog Lola is terrific too. Both days we came home with a very tired, happy pup! Definitely recommend!”
“We’ve had a great experience with Trish. Gizmo is still new to us and can be sensitive with transitions, and she has been incredibly patient, calm, and accommodating from the start. He settles while he’s there (even if he hasn’t slept yet), and it’s clear he feels safe and well cared for. She’s kind, attentive, and truly understands dogs who need a little extra gentleness. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust and feel comfortable leaving him with. Highly recommend!”
“Sam is very kind and flexible! My dog, Samira, is always so excited to see him. I’m grateful to have someone so kind and trusting to take care of my baby girl when I am busy. Highly recommend!”
“Rich and his wife Sandra were amazing! Tanzy had so much fun with all of the other dogs and was very well taken care of! I was sent so many adorable photos throughout the day and would absolutely book Rich again! Thanks so much :)”
“I’m very grateful to Hanna & Roy.✨ Besides being such lovely people, I truly appreciate them for taking care of my puppy🐶 From the very first moment, they showed so much love and dedication. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Haru’s well-being: they gave him affection, were attentive to him at all times, and played with him a lot. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good.”
“This was my first time using Rover or someone other than family to watch my dog (past or present). We started with a short daycare visit for our current rescue, Gracie. Leanne provided multiple updates, pictures and I ended the visit knowing my dog was in good hands with proper care. Leanne and her family are warm and welcoming and made Gracie part of their family during the visit. I will definately be back for future daycare or boarding needs. Thank you”
“Raquel is one of the best dog sitters I have ever used on this app! She was very accommodating when it came to my dog. She even gave me updates throughout the day so I could see how my dog was doing.”
About: Hi! I'm Lynn, and caring for dogs has been one of the greatest joys of my life for more than 30 years. I've had the privilege of raising and caring for four incredible dogs, each of whom I lovingly called my "kids." They weren't just pets—they were cherished members of our family. Through every stage of life, from playful puppies to their senior years, I was there to provide them with the love, patience, and care they deserved. One of my beloved dogs, Gigi, developed diabetes later in life, which required daily insulin injections and eventually led to blindness. Caring for her taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and providing extra comfort to dogs with medical needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, especially when they require medication or specialized care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing in the yard, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I carefully follow every instruction you provide, including feeding schedules, medication administration, dietary needs, exercise routines, and any special preferences that help your pet feel at home. My home features a secure, fenced-in yard with both grassy and paved areas, giving dogs plenty of safe space to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents. You'll receive regular photo and video updates, along with messages letting you know how your furry family member is doing, so you can relax knowing they're in caring hands. My goal is simple: to love and care for your dog the same way I cared for my own—with patience, kindness, compassion, and lots of hugs, kisses, belly rubs, and affection. When your pet is with me, they'll be treated like family. I currently have flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, which allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the pets in my care. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, outdoor time in the yard, leisurely walks, lots of cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'm able to tailor my schedule around their individual routine and needs. I'm also available to provide regular potty breaks, meals, medication, and other care throughout the day as needed. I believe consistency and open communication are important, so I'm always happy to discuss your pet's normal routine, preferences, and any special requirements ahead of their stay. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar as possible and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and well cared for while they're with me. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I'm committed to following the care instructions you provide so they feel as comfortable as possible while they're with me. My home offers a secure, fenced-in yard with both grassy and paved areas where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, they'll have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where they'll be treated like part of the family. I'm happy to accommodate your preferences when it comes to your pet's routine. If your dog is crate-trained or you're more comfortable having them in a crate or exercise pen during certain times, I'm more than happy to follow that routine. Likewise, if your pet is used to having free roam of the home, I'm happy to discuss that as well. My goal is to maintain the routine they're familiar with to help reduce stress and make them feel at home. I'll also keep you connected with regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing and enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I know how much our pets mean to us because I've always considered mine to be family, and I'll care for yours with the same love, patience, and respect I'd want for my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Johnston
Gary was absolutely amazing with our senior disabled dog and his very energetic little brother. They came home calm and tired. His frequent updates on their first stay put our mind at ease after multiple other places couldn't care for our older dog, we feel safe leaving him for the first time since his spinal injury.
Absolutely amazing experience! Gary took my puppy last minute and even took time to do a meet and greet before to see if my dog will be comfortable! Always responsive and friendly, got bunch of updates about my pup having a great time. I can see she had so much fun and immediately passed out in her crate after a fun day

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Johnston commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 772 sitters in Johnston, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
