“Took excellent care of our two pups! She sent lots of pictures and videos and provided us updates throughout! Already have booked additional doggy visits and will continue to do so!”
“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”
“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++”
“Isabel was so amazing!! She kept me updated and sent pics every day, and I could tell my pup was having a great time being loved in a safe environment by an awesome family. I’ll absolutely be booking her services in the future when I have to travel because the peace of mind was incredible.”
“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.”
“She took excellent care of our boy and he had a great time playing with the sweet Lucy. Courtney provided us with updates and pictures and was always easy to get a hold of.”
“Angelina was a spectacular host! She sent constant updates, was flexible, had a great set-up, and most importantly gave a lot of love to my girls. 10/10 would highly recommend! Thank you Angelina! I would also note she was able to accomodate (in my circumstances) a last minute, 3 week stay for my pups which is unheard of. That speaks to her heart and caring nature!”
“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.”
“Lisa was great. Our sweet but nervous pup settled in quickly and seemed to feel comfortable and happy. Lisa was very accommodating to our schedule and attentive to my dogs needs pertaining to her anxiety. We received frequent updates and photos. Her home provided plenty of soft comfy landing spots for your pup and a beautiful fenced yard that my dog loved. She was great with communication and we will definitely use Lisa again”
“If you are looking for someone who will care for your pet like they have known them their whole life.. then you DEFINITELY want to choose Sonia!!!!! Our daughter was getting married and we had to leave our pomsky for the night. He has NEVER not spent a night with family!! Sonia made it sooo easy on my heart with MULTIPLE pictures of my boy playing with her beautiful Lab Lola!! I was nervous to leave him ANYWHERE but I absolutely would not hesitate to leave him in Sonia’s care again!! If there were more then 5 stars I would give them. She even stayed up with him in the middle of the night when his separation anxiety set it!! THAT IS A LOT TO ASK FROM ANYONE!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Sonia!”
“Ashley and her husband did a good job taking care of Indigo. Ashley kept us posted with fun pics and videos of Indigo enjoying herself and her new companions. 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!”
About: Hi! I have been pet sitting with my non-reactive pup Sylvie for a number of friend's cats and dogs since COVID (usually as a favor) in and out of the New England area. I work at an arts non-profit in PVD and can drive. I can pet-sit and do limited amounts of dog training. Right now I work in a dog-friendly place 10 minutes from my home and my partner is working from home. We like going on hikes and to the dog parks. I would not bring a client's pet to my workplace, but a pet would always have someone with them at all times or at least not be left alone for more than a few hours at a time. I am most flexible on weekends and for overnight care. I have a fenced yard, a crate, and multiple rooms in the home with pocket doors that can split a larger room into two if needed. We usually let pets have free range of home or section off the living room depending on the temperament and needs of the pet.
“Celina took good care of Ollie. When we picked her up she was happy to see us but was in no hurry to leave Celena. We will consider Celena next time we need a dog sitter”
“Jackie was so great! I really appreciate all the pictures she sent during the stay and I could tell Mya had an absolute blast. I would definitely book Jackie again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. 10/10 experience :)”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Johnston is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Johnston
This was the longest time Mars was away from me and it seemed like he had such a great time. When I went to pick him up, he seems so uninterested in coming back home. Haha. Always felt like he was fully taken care of and truly appreciated all of the updates and photos while I was away. We’ve definitely found our perfect sitter.
Gary is hands down the best sitter on Rover. My pup son Aiden LOVES him and my family loves him too. Gary sends cute photos throughout the day and he checks in with us daily to let us know how things are going. He has a huge yard for the pups to play in and his house is spacious and clean. He comes highly recommended and he will forever be my go to person when I need a sitter.
Elba was so kind, attentive, and caring! She sent plenty of updates and even suggested a different food for my dog! She definitely loves caring for dogs, and it’s always such a relief to find someone who treats your fur babies like their own. I’ll definitely book again and can’t recommend highly enough! Thank you!!!
First time my dog had a multi-night stay with a dogsitter, and Jenni was wonderful with her!! My dog is sensitive and can get scared in new environments with new people and animals, but Jenni made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Jenni was patient and kind with her, and Jenni's dog, Ripley, was amazing with my dog to give her the personal space that she needed. I highly recommend them, and I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of my furbaby!!
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!

There are 1,167 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Johnston. About 90% 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.

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.
