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.

“Jillian was amazing! She sent so many pictures and videos- I saw what a great time Jane was having on her “vacation”. Her dog, Milo, was the sweetest and played so well with Jane. I didn’t think Jane was going to want to come home. Thank you so much!”
“Leanne and Michael took great care of Cooper while I was away. They sent me updates with pictures throughout his stay. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would definitely recommend using them if you need to board or are in need of any of services they offer. They are lovely!”
About: I am very experienced of Feeding, Giving medication and most of all giving love and attention to them. Especially while there loved ones are away! I am a senior retired from the post office and I am open to all hours. Would be great to get up and walk your pet. I do not have a fenced in area but plenty of woods where we can travel on a harness or leash so it would be secure

The daily updates were a nice touch and gave my wife and I satisfaction knowing Indigo was happy and living her best life with Ashley‘s fur babies! Thank you, Ashley, and husband for your professionalism and care for our little girl. We definitely will use your services in the future, good job!”
“Rocky had an EXCELLENT stay with Courtney and a great, fun time. Rocky is an older dog with some minor health concerns and Courtney made me feel completely comfortable. Courtney is so friendly, competent with a lovely fenced in yard for dogs. She even sent me adorable pictures throughout Rocky's stay. I was completely at ease while Rocky was there. I highly recommend Courtney!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”

Would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book again.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,190 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Johnston. About 91% of Johnston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
